among not the least worthy of the emancipators of
the population. It is well that the vigour of
a newly elected House of Commons should
be employed in proclaiming the equality
of all classes of citizens ; and it is especially
well that the Legislator who calls upon the popular
representatives of the United Kingdom to pronounce
that glorious declaration is a statesman such as Lord
Joa Ruseau.—by whose geniu3, and eloquence,
and patriotism the Test and Corporation Acts were
expunged from the book of imperial statutes. The
combination of persons, dates, and interests, is most
propitious.
When the experiences afforded by the past are re-
membered, the removal of the Jewish disabilities be.
comes, to every impartial mind, a matter of neces-
sity rather than of choice—the completion of what has
been long ago commenced, rather than the initiation of
a novel scheme of politics. We must recollect
this, that according to the law as it at present stands
a Jew is not disqualified by the doctrinal belief of his
religion from any other office but that of a Member of
Parliament. An Israelite may be an elector; he is
only prohibited (and that even only accidentally) from
taking a seat in the Lower House at Westminster.
He may exercise the prerogative of the franchise ; but
a casualty prevents him from participating in the de-
liberations of the Senate. An Israelite may be de-
clared a sheriff—for that right was admitted during
the reign of WILLIAM IV.—but he cannot be de-
clared a burgess of the Commons. An Israelite
may become a municipal councillor—for that right
has been admitted during the reign of her present
Most Gracious MAJESTY-but he cannot become an
occupant of the Ministerial or Opposition benches—
he cannot sit below the gangway—he cannot pene-
trate further than the lobby. Every disability has
been removed—excepting this. Every barrier has
been levelled—excepting the barrier which excludes
the children of the creed of Palestine from the interior
of the Chambers of Parliament. And the obstacle—
let it be borne in recollection—is one which, as we
have already remarked, has merely an acci-
dental existence. That obstacle is in the
formal wording of the Oath of Abjuration,
—the phrase—the incidental expression—" On the

The proposition with respect to the Bills now be-
fore the House for adjudication appears to be a re-
newal of that which was last year brought forward ;
it is that a Committee shall be appointed, who are to
take into their consideration all the schemes for
which petitions have been presented, and to decide
thereon which shall be proceeded with, and which
passed over during the present session. It will be
in the recollection of our readers, that, in 1846,
a Committee was appointed for a similar purpose,
and that so many difficulties were found to
exist in the way of coming to a satisfactory
decision, that, after frequent sittings and much deli-
beration, the attempt was abandoned, and every Bill
was permitted to come before the House on its own
merits, without reference to the number of other
projects, or the amount of expenditure thereby con-
templated, and that consequently Bills were passed
authorising an outlay of no less than 124,500,0001.

'rue faith of Christian." It is almost ludicrous

to reflect that the only thing which precludes a Jew
from taking up his position within view of the official
chair of Mr. SPEAKER is a casual formula like this—
" On the faith of a Christian "—language which was
merely introduced to give some sort of emphasis to a
renunciation of all allegiance to the house of STUART:
and that this Oath of Abjuration (imposed by an Act
of WILLIAM 111., and confirmed by another of
GEORGE I.) was solely drawn up with reference to
Catholics and Jacobites, the Legislature giving no
more thought at the time to the unfortunate Israelites
than they did to the worshippers of the THREE PRE•
CIOUS BUDHAS.

sterling. There is, however, little prospect of such
extensive powers being again demanded, at least for
some years to come. It is more than probable that
it is only those in connexion with existing lines—
such as deviations or short constructions—that will
be sought for during the present session. The
present Committee will, therefore, have a much
easier task, and one of a less invidious na-
ture than that which was imposed on the
Committee of 1846, who could scarcely be ex-
pected to decide between conflicting projects and
rival undertakings without hearing the evidence that
might be adduced and the arguments urged on behalf
of the contending parties.
The large demands of the railway companies may
have had some effect in increasing the difficulties sus-
tained by all classes in the country during the present
monetary crisis ; but it is most unjust in any manner
to ascribe the calamity to the creation of railways.
No, it was owing to the iniquitous monetary laws, by
which the industry of the nation is fettered and re-
strained. There is, perhaps, scarcely any descrip-
tion of undertaking that requires so small an amount
to be sent out of the country, in proportion to
the entire outlay, as the construction of railways.
They afford an extraordinary quantity of employment
to the labouring classes, who would otherwise remain
in idleness, a heavy burden on the property of the
country, in place of materially increasing the national
wealth. It is unnecessary to dilate on the wonderful
benefits that have been derived from those gigantic
projects ; how greatly time has been economised,
and every description of property in their vicinities
increased in value. With a better system of finance,
and a well-regulated currency, there would be no
necessity for preventing the full development of the
national industry, the employment of every man able
and willing to work.

Besides this, it must on no account be forgotten
that when Mr. PHASIC refused to be sworn in, because,
as a member of the Society of Friends, he enter-
tained certain moral objections to an oath, he was
permitted to made a solemn affirmation. When

Mr. O'CONNELL refused to take the Oath of
Supremacy because he did not conceive the doc-
trines of the Roman Catholic Church to be
damnable, idolatrous, and blasphemous," the

famous Act of Emancipation was passed, restor-
ing all their civil rights and immunities to those
who were subservient to. the Papacy. Link :by
link the chains of intolerance have been broken
asunder. Bit by bit the code of bigotry has been
torn to pieces, and scattered to the winds of heaven.
One link of that cruel chain remains—one shred of
that atrocious code has still to be destroyed ; and in
demanding its destruction from the Legislature the
Premier might with justice encourage its Members to
this last manifestation of tolerance by remind-
ing them that the proposed relief of the
civil disabilities upon the Israelites, is only► the
revival of a truth already avowed by Parliament.

The Swiss Vorort published on the 22d an an-
nouncement that a convention for the capitulation of
the canton of Zug had been entered into by two
deputies of that canton and General Durouit, subject
to the ratification of the authorities of the canton, and
that the federal troops were to occupy the territory
on the 22d.

An action had been fought on the 20th between
the federal troops and those of Zug, in which the
latter had been defeated. On the following day two
commissioners arrived at General DUFOUR'S head.
quarters to treat for peace. The following are the
terms of the convention :

" Article 1. The canton of Zug secedes from the Son-
derbund.

" Article 2. The federal troops will occupy the canton
in the eveuing of the 22d.

" Art. 3. The federal troops will be lodged and main
tained in the canton of Zug according to the military
regulations.
" Art. 4. Zug will disband its troops, whose arms will
be deposited in the cantonal arsenal. The troops of the
other states of the Sonderbund will quit the canton
of Zug.
" Art. 5. The arms of the landaturm are likewise to
be deposited in the cantonal arsenal."

The remaining articles are a mere repetition of
those of the capitulation of Friburg.
General DUFOUR published on the 22d a proclama-
tion to his army, announcing to them that on that
day they would enter the territory of Lucerne. The
General invites his troops to deport themselves as
generous warriors, to spare the wounded, to respect
the churches and all edifices consecrated to religious
worship, to protect all defenceless individuals, and
commit no depredations. The federal army was
likewise to enter on that day the territory of Schwytz
and Zug, and the head-quarters were to be trans-
ferred from Aarau to Muri.

The intelligence from Ticino of the 19th states
that the Sonderbund column of Uri and the Valais
had not advanced beyond Facido, but that two bat•
talions of Grisons were hourly expected at Bellin-
zona, and that Colonel LUvINI had force sufficient to
defend the town until the arrival of reinforcements.

General RADOWITZ left Berlin on the 21st inst,
for Frankfort, where the affairs of Switzerland will,
it is said, undergo a preliminary discussion. The
visit of the President of the Germanic Diet, Count
MUNCH BELLINOHAUSEN, to the Courts of Canis•
rube, Munich, and Stuttgard, has not been attended
with success, as those states refuse to advance troops
towards the Swiss frontier, much to the mortification
of Austria.

On the 22d a protracted firing of musketry was
heard at Asrau, and the Gazette de Bale states that
it was reported that the Lucerne troops had been
completely defeated by Genoral D UFOUR on that day.

Several cases of cholera have occurred at Constan-
tinople. The Journal de Constantinople, of the
gth, says—
" The malady does not spread here with its habitual
rapidity, and its character is very mild. In the space of
thirteen days only nine undoubted cases have been re-
ported ; and although epidemic complaints generally are
very violent at the very commencement, and seldom
spare the first victims, out of the nine persons attacked
four only have died, while one has completely recovered,
and three are going on favourably towards recovery.
As regards the ninth case, it is too recent to enable us
to judge of the issue. From this it is to be hoped that
the cholera will not make any great ravages at Constan-
tinople. We may remark, too, that the persons hitherto
attacked were iu a position which rendered them parti-
cularly liable to the disease. Some of them were of the
very poorest classes, and others had suffered great grief
from the derangement of their affairs, and had given
themselves up to all sorts of excess. The cholera as far
as has hitherto been observed has not shown itself in
the environs."

The cholera has entirely ceased at Trebizond and
Bagdad.

their constitutional right, prevailing upon them not
to abandon the urn ; and
3d. That in case any violence should be offered to
them in the act of voting, that they were to retire
peaceably from the electoral field without offering
any resistance.
During the meeting, twelve petty officers of the
2d battalion of volunteers tried to insult the electors,
and make disturbances ; one of them went so far as
wrest from the hands of an elector the manifesto of
the committee that the elector was peaceably reading.
This unwarrantable act was severely chastised by one
of the bystanders, who struck him with a stone, which
brought him to the ground. No further disturbance
occurred. It is lamentable that these warriors show
such courage now against unarmed citizens, pro.

yoking them daily so as to endanger public tranquil-
lity, when before the Protocol their martial spirit ap-
peared so cast down.
On Tuesday, the 16th, a deputation of the great
electoral meeting called on the Minister of the In-
terior, Senhor CARVALRO E MELLO, and delivered the
petition of the opposition, requesting her MAJESTY
to prorogue the elections, and to give such orders as
may ensure a due registration of all the voters who
have a right to be electors. It seems the Minister
received the deputation with great urbanity, and
promised the request should be laid before her MA-
JESTY to obtain a decision, after hearing her respon-
sible advisers.
A few nominations of civil governors have taken
place, and amongst them Baron BE VALLONGO for
Oporto, and Dr. MoNiz (ex-Deputy and lately a
member of the Mixed Commission at the Cape of
Good Hope) for Coimbra. These nominations, how-
ever, are of little consequence, as the political situa-
tion of this country is indeed most deplorable. To
say the truth, but little is known abroad as to the
true state of things in Portugal, and hence the em•
piricisms which frequently appear in the correspon
dences of some of the newspapers. and in the criti-
cism of many writers abroad, who are not over
scrupulous in prescribing panaceas for a dangerous
disease, without having a practical knowledge of the
malady.
Portugal is completely lacerated by the two ex-
treme parties, bent upon the destruction of each
other, in order to remain masters of the field, and
hence offering, as it were, to dispose of the throne
and the nation as if they were public property. Both
parties aim at power, and care little as to the means
of obtaining it. The party of the Cabrals, weak in
numerical strength, is, however, audacious, enterpris-
ing, ambitious, and revolutionary, owing to the per-
sonal character of its leader, who strives for power,
caring little about the result, and despising the ob-
stacles he has to surmount. If this party could suc-
ceed, I have not the least doubt that a tremendous
revolution would naturally be the result of such
an event, and perhaps (may Providence avert it) the
throne would be crushed to atoms in the vortex of a
new convulsion. The Septembrist party, known by
its democratical ideas, strives also after power, and if
by any unforeseen circumstance it should be success-
ful the result will be a military revolution, as the
army, notwithstanding that the majority are averse to
the Cabrals, yet are opposed to the Junta partisans,
not so much in political principles, but essentially
with regard to individuals who are the ostensible
leaders of this party. Thus, unfortunately, the vital
questions politically discussed are for the most part
questions of men not of principles.
I will not say that the present Administration, how-
ever, composed of honest and conscientious men, is the
most adapted to the present difficult circumstances,
but what I can declare positively is that the princi-
ples they profess are undoubtedly the most fitting for
Government, as they are staunch defenders of the
QUEEN and the Charter, tolerant, moderate and for-
bearing.
When will the Protocol end? This is a question
of great national interest, as it is really impossible to
obtain any good whilst foreign influence keeps alive
the elements of discord! The tutorship of England
and France in the Peninsula has been the cause of
great evils, and will continue to produce the excep-
tional state in which both nations have been kept.
The best course that England can now adopt is to
let us alone : this was what the merchants of Mar-
seilles asked once of Louis XIV., when the KING put
the question to them, in what way he could protect
their trade ? Laissez noun faire, was their simple and
witty answer.
Let me say two words about the financial state of
this country. There is a general outcry against the
Government because it does not meet its engage
meets, nor procure the means of meeting them. In
general, foreigners speak superficially about our
financial state, and the natives are biased by party
spirit. Since the year 1834 all men in power have
concealed the true situation of our finances, repre-
senting Portugal in a most prosperous situation ; yet
since that year the revenue could never cover the ex •
penditure, and so well'demonstrated is the fact, that
in that very year after
,the civil war, when SILYA
CARVALUO was ..linister, with all the resources he
could derive from the sale of national property, he
was obliged, nevertheless, to resort to loans,
and especially a very considerable one, to cancel
the paper money. CARVALHO'S successors in
1836, notwithstanding their economies, which were
the abandonment of the payments of the dividends of
the foreign debt, which was capitalized in 1840—be-
sides what was due to the public employes, also had
recourse to loans. Since that period, Count ToJAL
lived exclusively on private loans, without hazarding
one penny of his own property.
It is true, that during CABRAL'S Administration,
many companies were established, the public empljyes
were more regularly paid, and great jobbing went on.
In the end all such colossal companies were mere
bubbles—the capitals for the great enterprizes existed
in the imagination of the creators of such schemes—a
mock credit was constantly in action, the Bank
with its bank-notes supplying the emergencies of
the moment, so as to furnish more than thirteen thou-
sand contos to the Government, or three millions ster-
ling; and at last all this system of deception
went to the ground. Let me add to this, the
events of the Gth of October, and the civil
war which followed those, and hence the
causes of the present miserable state of our
finances. Such being the state of affairs, how is it
possible that the present Administration can find the
means of providing the necessary funds to meet the
daily expenses, when besides the evils already men-
tioned the revenues of the Customs are for the major

part mortgaged or anticipated? With economy, with
a good system in the collection of the revenue, with a
reduction in the interest of the debt, and, above all,
with honesty and good will, it is yet possible to re-
inetly the malady that so seriously afflicts this coun-
try, which no doubts deserves a better fate than her
prc=ent one.

I shall end this by noticing the arrival of the Sidon
steam-frigate in five days from Portsmouth, with
Lord DALHOUSIE on board. She leaves to-morrow
for Gibraltar and Malta.

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday.

The Speech of the Queen of ENGLAND is the
theme of universal comment, and, with the exception
of the Republican National, of universal commenda-
tion. The Ministerial Debats says—
" The speech of the Queen of England is, both as
regards foreign affd4.s and domestic policy, one of the
most important and substantial that we have had for a
long time. A grand act of European policy which it
was easy to foresee has become public and official. The
Queen of Great Britain announces that she is in com-
munication with her allies on the Eubjeet of the civil
war which ravages Switzerland, and compromises the
general peace, and that her Government is ready to par-
ticipate in the measures which may be considered neces-
sary to restore the blessings of peace to the Helvetic
Confederation. .Neither the word of intervention, nor
that of simple mediation is pronounced ; the choice of
one or the other of these two modes of action will be
without doubt determined by circumstances which may
ct.ange trona one day to the other. In any case, how-
ever, the principle is laid down, and Switzerland now
knows that, if the bases established by European treaties
ale to undergo some modification, it will only be with
the concurrence of the powers who partake in the
guarantee. In declaring that she has confidence in the
maintenance of general peace, the Queen of England
has, without doubt, in view, the state of agitation in
which the peninsula of Italy is plunged. Up to this
time we know of nothing that could shake this con-
fidence."

The Opposition Constitutionnel is even more un-
stinting in its commendations. It says—
" This document is remarkable for a character of
frankness and honesty peculiar to governments which
are really constitutional. There is scarcely reference
in it to anything except the interior affairs of Great
Britain. A paragraph, however, which seems to an-
nounce the approaching convocation of a Congress for
reestablishing peace in Switzerland, will be remarked.
I'he attitude of Mr. Peel, Cbarg6 d'Affaires of England
to the Helvetic Confederation, indicates in advance the
position which his Government will maintain in the
Congress."

The Radical Commerce is equally liberal in its
praises of the Speech. It says—

" Queen Victoria declares that she is in communica-
tion with her allies with respect to the affairs of Swit-
zerland, and that she has expressed to them her disposi-
tion to employ, in conjunction with them, her friendly'
influence, with the view of restoring the benefits of
peace to the Confederation. We hasten to take a note
of this solemn declaration. Peace will be restored to
the twenty-two cantons; but, without doubt, peace, with
all the guarantees of order and good government, which
did not exist in that country before the breaking out of
the civil war, as is fully proved to us by the possibility
of forming a state in the midst of that state, of a league
capable of resisting the sovereign power of the Diet by
at ms. We have to express a regret that, on this occit
sion, as on so many others, it is by England, and not by
France, that the first true word of the situation, and the
only word in conformity with the international right of
the constitutional powers, has been uttered. England
has spoken of friendly influence; but M. Ciuizot, in the
name of France, heel dared to cause an armed interven
tion to be hoped for; he had even proposed it to M. de
Metternich, as an article in the German Journal of
Frankfort proves to us."

The National says nothing concerning the allusion
to Switzerland. It only revels in the idea that
`• Ireland remains attached to the side of Eng-
land like 4 gnawing cancer."

to the rank of lieutenant-general of a major-general

NOVEMBER 25, TEN A M.

THE WASHINGTON STEAH•SHIP.—The Ruby steamer
has been lying in our roadstead since Tuesday, waiting
the arrival of the Ocean Company's steamer, to take
out her mails and passengers, that she may proceed
directly for Bremen should she have sufficient coal in
f.r that purpose. She was to have sailed from New
York on the 11th inst., but it is now supposed she must
have been detained there beyond that date.
THE BRILLIANT.--This beautiful vessel went out of
harbour yesterday. and had her first trial; her sailing
qualities are of the first class—she seemed almost to fir
through the water. She is considered to be more than
a match for the Nr-:awed Wsterwitch.

HEALTH OF TIIE LORD CHANCELLOR.--We have
much gratification in stating that the Lord Chancellor is
steadily progressing towards convalescence. The in-
quiries have been exceedingly numerous, and have in-
cluded those of her Majesty, the Prince Consort, the
Duchess of Kent, and a considerable number of the no.
bility.
GREENOCK, Nov. 23.—We are sorry to understand
that the barque Lady Sale, of Greenock, which arrived
here to-day, about one o'clock, has had to be put under
quarantine, owing to the master and several of the crew
being ill with fever. The disease broke out two days
after she left St. John's.—. North British Mail.
LONDON MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.—Last night
the elocution class (conducted by Messrs. 13. 11. and

institution and their friends, in the theatre of the insti-
tution. The entertainment was divided into two parts,
and consisted principally of selections from the works of
ponular authors, which were recited by the pupils of the
class. In addition to those selections, the farce of State
Secrets concluded the first part, and Morton's farce of
The Original terminated the second part, and closed the
evening's entertainment very agreeably. The class ex-
hibited very great proficiency is the several recitations,
and the au-dienee testified their approval by hearty ap-
plause. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the
weather the theatre was well filled.

IMMENSE INFLUX OF RAILWAY LALIOURERS INTO
TUE AIETROPOIAS.—Owing to the recent stoppages of
many of the railways now in progress, a vast number of
labourers have been thrown out of employment ; the
consequence of which has been that thousands have
rushed to the metropolis. Seine of the principal streets
were yesterday morning thronged with them, dressed in
their curious garb, many of them soliciting alms from
the shopkeepers. The magistrates at seine of the metro-
politan police•courts have also been applied to for assist-
ance, as the majority of them are now penniless.

THAMES.—(THIS DAY.)
Messrs, Campbell, a watchman in the employ of

John Lawrence, foreman to Messrs. Parry, stated

Placed in him. This morning, about ten o'clock, as
Witness entered the yard of the sugar bakery,
he observed a quantity of staves tied together and
Placed next the gate door, as if for the purpose of re-
/1"a l. This excited his suspicion, and from one of the
Windows he kept watch. About half an hour after-
wards he observed the prisoner its the act of taking
Cthem away. He had removed three bundles, and witness
"pped him in the act of taking the fourth. When
lrupbell saw he was discovered ha exclaimed, " For
God's sake, say nothing about it, or I am a ruined
tato." When asked whet he had to say, the prisoner
'hook his head despondingly, and said, " I am guilty."
Mr. BALLA.NTINE committed him for trial. Ho was

By reducing the wheat to flour, the quantity of it left
at tide water this year, compared with the correspond
ing period of last year, shows an excess equal to
1,153,945 barrels of flour, and an increase of excess
since our statement of last week of 91,396 barrels of
flour. The receipts of corn thus far exceed by 4,089,238
bushels the entire receipts of 1846. The receipts of
barley up to the fourth week in October during the pre-
sent year, compared with the corresponding period of
1846, show a decrease of 84,200 bushels; and from the
Ist of September to the 31st of October, inclusive, com-
pared with the same period in 1846, show a decrease of
15,216 bushels.
Saturday Night, Nov. 6.—The letters and papers
received by the mail from the Caledonia present a more
gloomy aspect than, from the advices by the French
steamer, we were quite prepared for; yet, gloomy as
is the aspect for England, there is in it little or nothing
that should cause uneasiness, or will produce loss
here. The English funds have fallen almost 3 per cent.
from the previous rates, the last quotations being 83i to
81, and confidence was sadly shaken. This, indeed,
seems the great evil, and produces, or at any rate,
largely aggravates, the scarcity of money, which is the
great complaint. The prophecy, however, so heedlessly
made by Mr. Horsley Palmer, and so unwisely blazoned
to the public here, of as impending crash that was to
shake commercial credit throughout the kingdom, had
not occurred, and was not, so far as could be judged,
likely to occur. In all the list of failures brought by
this packet, that of Barclay and Co. is the only consi-
derable one, and that touches very little this country,
and is not of a calibre to shake the commercial credit of
England. But more so is that of the Royal Bank of
Liverpool, of which the whole capital almost-1,000,0001.
—were said to be lent to three houses. When this state
of facts was made known to the Bank of England, that
institution very naturally and properly refused to inter-
fere, and the Liverpool Bank was obliged to stop. But no
ultimate loss will result to the public, as the stockholders,
who are personally liable, are able to make good all its
engagement a. There was a rumour by the French steamer
that Mr. Baring hail been to Paris to endeavour to ne-
gotiate a loan of 11,000,060 francs for a relief of the
London money-market. This appears to be a mere
rumour, without any founlation in fact,—as unfounded
as the story told by a previous packet, in some Eng-
lish letter or paragraph, that the house of Baring Bro-
thers and Co. had been aided by Lord Ashburton to the
eoxuttent of 500,0001. sterling, who was said to have sold

aid was expected, its Sir Robert Peel had
Mayor (one of the deputation) for a week precedingwt the
mission of the deputation, and it was thence inferrede
that Sir Robert's assent to some modifications in the Act
which bears his name might be anticipated. The form
in which Government may authorise relaxation will
bo, if at all, probably in granting the Bank permission
to issue ono pound notes. Such un issue, however, will
only be permitted for a limited period—any one year
—and the issue would be accompanied by a rise in the
rates of discount, so as to discourage new undertakings.
Under all the circumstances, the chief interest still which
this country has in the condition of the English money-
market is the indirect one—though very near worthless
—of the prices of our chief staples in the English
markets. While the money pressure continues here,
wheat, flour, cotton, &c., will continue low—and as the
value will be regulated measurably by the value abroad,
prices hero, too, must be low. But of returned bills of
exchange—except upon banks or other incorporated
institutions—there will be few or none ; and thoso re-
turned upon such institutions are forthwith paid with
damages. The French Government have issued propo-
sals for a loan of 250,000,000 f., about 50,000,000 dolls.,
to be paid in twenty-five monthly instalments of, on an
average, of 10,000,0001'. per month. The French funds
rose, in the face of this announcement of a now loan
issue, of which the apprehension had long hung over
the market as an indefinite contingency. As soon as the
facts and conditions were known, n, the market was re-
lieved. It is believed the loan for a three per cent.issue
could be negotiated at about 77.

ATTEMPT TO MURDER ♦ SUPERINTENDENT OP
POLICE.—The fashionable watering place Weston-super
Mare, Somersetshire, has been thrown into a state of
unusual excitement and alarm, in consequence of an
attempt by a man named Cann to murder Mr. Hill, the
active and intelligent superintendent of police, by stab-
bing him with a knife in two different places. Cann is
supposed to have formed one of a number of idle and
dissolute persons of broth sexes, who had latterly occa-
sioned much annoyance to the inhabitants of the place,
and some of whom, through the diligence of the super-
intendent, had been apprehended, conveyed be-l'ore the
magistrates, and by them sent to prison, on which ac-
count it is believed that Hill had become very obnoxious
to them. Cann and another man had been creating a
disturbance; they continued their row, and some of the
inhabitants being disturbed, sent for Hill, who was in
bed at the time, to assist in preserving the peace. The
fellows refused to comply with the superintendent's
directions, and go home quietly, and resisted his autho-
rity with so much violence, that being powerful fellows,
he was obliged to strike them with his staff twice. Cann
used violent threats, and swore that if he touched them
again, he would stab:the constable, and a further scuffle
ensued, in the course of which Cann stabbed Hill twice.
The poor fellow was picked up in a faint and bleeding
state, and was conveyed to his home, where he lies in
considerable peril. Caun was afterwards apprehended
on the capital charge.
FIELD-LANE RAGGED Sctioor..—Last evening the
sixth anniversary meeting of the friends and supporters
of this school was held, at the Farringdon hall, King-
street, Snow-hill. Lieut. Blackmore having taken the
chair the secretary read the report. It stated that the
district in which the school was situate had long been
known as the most depraved in the metropolis, and the
character of the children attending it might therefore
be judged. The school was now open every day in the
week, the average attendance being 70, and the instruc-
tion given entirely free. The committee, after much
consideration, suggested that food should be given to
the children, many of them, dependent as they were
upon what they casually picked up in the streets, and
turned out by their parents to shift for themselves, often
tasted nothing from morning to night. It could not he
expected that these children could be improved in mind
while they felt the pangs of hunger. The committee
also suggested that the boys should be taught soma
trade, the knowledge of which might enable them to
earn their living in an honest and industrious manner.
The receipts for the support of the school amounted to
871, and the expenditure to 701., leaving a balance not
equal to the liabilities.

It is rumoured, in quarters likely to be well in-
formed, that Lady Blanche Somerset, third daughter of
the Duke of Beaufort, will shortly be allied to the eldest
son of a noble Scotch family. The nobleman referred
to is Viscount Dupplin, eldest son of the Earl of Kin-
noun, and the marriage, it is said, will take place as soon
as Lord Dupplin comes of age. His Lordship was born
on the 16th July, 1827. and consequently is now ix his
21st year. Lady Blanche Somerset will complete her
20th year on the 26th of January next.
FOSSIL REataiss.—A short time ago, while a man,
named Thomas Ileatly, was working is Ballygroobeny
bog, about half a mile from Hamiltonsbawn, he disco-
vered the fossil remains of an animal of the ancient
Irish elk species. The head was in tolerably safe pre-
servation, and has two main antlers upwards of seven
feet apart, from each of which are twelve branches. The
bones are much larger than those of a cart horse.—
Armagh Guardian.
FIRE IN CURISTOPIIER-SQUARE.—Yesterday morn-
ing, shortly before six o'clock, a fire broke out upon the
manufacturing premises belonging to Mr. Alfred Web•
ster, a bedstead-maker and japanner, situate No. 21,
Christopher-square, Sun-street, Bishopsgate. The flames
originated in the factory, which was surrounded on
either side by workshops and private houses, and in the
course of a few minutes after, not only were Mr. Web-
ster's buildings in a blaze, but two or three private
houses in the same square, and also a couple more in
Crown court. It wit:; not until a late hour that the fire
was extinguished, and not until a serious destruction of
property had taken place.
UNLICENSED VENDORS Or MEDlClNE.—Yesterday
the Apothecaries' Company issued notices to the Hun-
tiates of that company, requesting to be informed of any
unqualified medicine vendor residing in their district, in
order to their criminal prosecution; the company, in
consequence of the numerous fatal occurrences resulting
from the indiscriminate sale of poisons, See., by such
persons, being resolved to put the law in force in all
cases of vending and prescribing by unlicensed persons.
A farmer's wife in New Connecticut, Ohio, is

which will beat Parson Leland's Jefferson monster all

neighbours, she has prepared the milk of 500 cows for
one day. The production is a cheese weighing six
hundred pounds.
AN UNWELCOME VISITOR.—On Wednesday morn-
ing week, a fox paid a visit to Mr. Bramley's poultry, at
Sutton Bonnington, and after robb:ng the roost of several
young fowls, killed several fine game fowls and throe
young turkeys, which he quietly deposited in an adjoin-
ing garden, where they were found by Mr. Bromley and
the policeman, whilst in search of the sly thief.—

EAST INDIA House.—Yesterday the' directors
appointed the Transfer-books of the East India Com-
pany's Stock to be shut on Thursday, the 2d of Dec.,
at three o'clock, and to be opened again on the 15th of
January, 1848. The dividends to be paid on the 6th of

TIIE LATE ALEXANDER GALLOWAY.—Tuesday
the mortal remains of Mr. Alexander Galloway wore
deposited in Kensal-green Cemetery, in a vault, alongside
his wife and son, the Bey, who are buried there. The
funeral was strictly private, and confined to his two sons
and grandson, and a few intimate friends who appeared
us mourners.
FEMALE BAILIYF.—The Limerick Chronicle states
that a gentleman, who was unable to get writs served,
dressed up a bailiff in female attire, and thus effected his
object, for the seeming woman was admitted, while the
bailiff, in propria persona, had found that there was "no
use knocking at the door."
JERSEY ONIONS.—An importation of seven tons
weight, 10 sacks, and 15 bags of onions, have taken
place by a vessel arrived in the river, from Jersey, the
produce of the island, in addition to other articles of
general merchandise. Although such large supplies of
onions take place from the southern and other states of
Europe, we have not been accustomed to look for them
from the Channel Islands in such large quantities,

(From the London New Price Current of Nov. 26.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was no improvement in the
home or export demand for Raw Sugar, and for some
kinds prices suffered a further depression, although there
was only a small quantity brought to market. In West
India kinds only a limited business was concluded for all
purposes although lower rates were taken, making the
decline compared with Friday last of 6d to Is per cwt.
The sales to-day were 450, making 11,870 hhds* and trs
for the week.

REFINED.—To-day the market for refined goods was
in an inactire state, and the tendency of prices is still
downwards, standard lumps selling at 52s 6d, and
brown grocery 51s 6d per cwt. Bonded crushed Sugar
held firmly at 30s 6d to 31s 6d, and is still much in
demand.

MONUMENT TO DAVY.— We notice with pleasure
a tolerably wide-spread movement in the mining world,
for the erection of a monument to the memory of the late
sir 11. Davy. Let there be a monument by all means;
next to Newton, no man of science of this country ever
deserved one more. But do not let any error, in point
of fact, be mixed up with the grounds on which his me-
mory is cherished. The safety lamp was, indeed, one of
the greatest triumphs of his genius; but it is an histo-
rical untruth to say that it has " economised human
life." On the contrary, the loss of life from explosion of
fire-damphas been much greater since the introduction of
the Davy than before it. And this is reasonably enough
accounted for in two ways—first, by the neglect which
the use of the Davy has induced of ventillation, which is
a much surer means of preventing such accidents than
any mode of lighting whatever; and, second, by its
having enabled coal-owners to work mines so danger-

THE LATE ATTEMPT TO OVERTURN A RAILWAY
TRAIN.—It will, no doubt, be in the recolleetioo of Our
readers that William Ashcroft was convicted at the last
Central Criminal Court sessions, for having, on the 25th
of last month, placed large blocks of granite upon the
rails on the Eastern Counties Railway, near the Lea-
bridge station, just before a down-train was due. The
passengers were so much pleased with the presence of
mind and judgment displayed by the engine driver,
William Young, in stopping the train, and by the sub-
sequent exertions of the firemen and guards iu capturing
Ashcroft, that they raised a subscription, amounting to
81 Bs. 6d., and requested the directors to divide it in
such proportions as they might think fit. The money
was accompanied by a very flattering letter in praise not
only of the men, but of the improved and now efficient
general management of the line. The men attended the
board on Thursday last, when, after a suitable address
from Mr. Waddington, M.P., the chairman on that day,
Young was presented with Si., being the directots' addi-
tion to the subscription, and the 8/. Bs. Gd. was divided
equally among the three other men. It may, perhaps,
be mentioned that Young was the man selected by the
directors to drive the train that conveyed her Majesty
and Prince Albert to and from the Cambridge installation
in July last. He is one of the oldest engine-di ivers in
the Eastern Counties service, and one of their most
valuable servants.

which is published in Edinburgh, is, afttr an existence
of twenty years to be given up, not being sufficiently
patronised.

MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was only a limited
demand for Mauritius Sugar, but 3,000 bags at auction
were mostly sold at steady prices. The amount of
business concluded was to a limited extent only.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal
Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 1.182 bags,
and sold at the former value—fine strong grainy yelhw
went at 48s to 48s 6d, good 42a 6d to 43s 6d, damp 39s
to 48s, and washed 39s to 47s 6d per cwt. The pur-
chases made privately were of little moment. Madras
went off steadily.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon Foreign Sugar 'met with
little attention privately from exporters or the home
trade, and 1668 boxes 8 hhds Havannah at auction were
all taken in at an average of 39s for brown and low
yellow, hhds bought in at 41s for yellow.
MOLASSES.—Notwithstanding the low rates that pre-
vail for West India, yet the purchases made have been
to a small extent only this week, at 15s to 15s 6d for
for low and middling, and at 17s to 183 for good and fine.
East India Treacle is not much wanted, and the best is
not worth more than 17s per cwt.

•
TEA.—Although there are sellers of all kinds of black,
upon former low terms, yet town and country buyers
operate with reluctance, which is a natter of sur-
prise, as the loss upon the importation is yet large,
whereas the consumption continues to be good, and
stocks in second hands are small. Green met with little
attention, and is offered at lower rates; with all kinds of
Tea the market is plentiully supplied.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the market had a quiet
appearance for Native Ceylon, and good ordinary was
obtainable at 33s 6,1; Plantation is not much required,
and 336 bags 2 casks, at auction, sold at rather lower
rates;_ fine fine ordinary greyish Demerara kind 43s to
46s 6d, fine ordinary 40s to 435, good ordinary 39s 6d,
pea berry 46s 6d to 53s 6d, triage 27s 6d to 30s 6d, and
damaged 24s 6d to 42s per cwt; a large proportion was
damaged. Of Costa Rico 379 bags were taken in at 34s
for fine ordinary sound, being above the value.
FRIIIT.—Three large public sales were brought for-
ward, consisting of various sorts, at which very little
appeared to have been sold. By private contract there
has been a good demand, and prices being very low has
induced the retailers to purchase very freely for their
Christmas supplies. Of Currants fine Patras are scarce
and much sought after; of the other descriptions the
deliveries are considerable.

at 2s 10d to 3s for 28 to 30 per cent. over proof,
and fine 37 to 38 per cent over at 3s 2d to
3s 3d. For Leeward Island the demand has
been active, and the tendency of prices is up-
wards. The sales for the week are 350 puns at is 9d
proof strength, and small parcels of good brown ditto at
is 9id to is 10d. East India is in much better request,
and an improvement in the value took place. At public
sale 20 butts and 570 bhds were sold at is 8d proof with
certificate. For Spirits made here from Sugar, the
home demand is active at lOs 6d per gallon. Brandy is
still purchased with caution by shippers and the home
trade ; although holders are willing to make a further
concession in the price, there is a plentiful supply.

SALTPETRE —The demand continues on the increase
for all kinds of rough, both for consumption and export
as the supply is small, prices still tend upwards, and
rule Is per cwt above those of this day week. Privately
several parcels have been sold, and 1,464 bags of Cal-
cutta were disposed of, at and after !he public sale.

INCREASE OF PAUPERISM IN
MARYLEBONE.

Yesterday a very numerous meeting of the board of
directors and guardians of St. Marylebone, was occupied
in considering the extraordinary measures of relief ne-
cessary to meet the unprecedented amount of distress
and pauperism.
Mr. Jacob Bell having been called to the chair,
Mr. MESSER, the relieving officer, reported that the
number of persons receiving relief during the present
week, was 9,100.

Mr. JONES, the master of the workhouse, reported
that the house was at that moment so overcrowded as to
be in an unhealthy condition.
Mr. ALLEN, one of the surgeons of the Workhouse
Infirmary, reported to the board that the amount of
sickness prevailing amongst the poor was so great that
it exceeded the usual number twofold, that the appoint-
ment of two additional assistant visiting surgeons was
absolutely necessary.
An order for such an appointment was immediately
given by the board.
Sir J. HAMILTON said, he would move,

" That the attention of the board be at once specially
directed to the crowded state of the house, and to the
alarming increase of applications for outdoor relief, with
a view to adopt such measures as may be practicable to
meet, and, if possible, to mitigate the increasing desti-
tution."
Mr. A. DANIELL seconded the motion.
This resolution having been adopted, the board re-
solved itself into a committee of the whole board.

Counsel's opinion was read as to the power of the
board to erect additional buildings out of the parish, or
anywhere except on the site of the present workhouse,
for the pauper children. The opinion was, that under
the Local Act they had no such power, but that the
vestry had.
Mr. G. S. SMITH said, they were in a sad predica-
ment.- Only yesterday, Mr. Allen, the surgeon of the
infirmary, had to take one sick patient out of his bed to
make room for another, who had returned after an opera-
tion from the Free Hospital.
Mr. CARR moved, with regard to outdoor relief,
" That four inspectors of the poor be forthwith em-
ployed to assist the relieving overseer in affording relief;
and that Mr. Messer be empowered to employ additional
officers to supply the place of the inspectors.'
This was seconded and carried.

Sir W. STIRLING said this was a gigantic evil, a per-
manent increase of workhouse accommodation was
therefore absolutely necessary.—(Hear, hear.)
After some discussion it was resolved—
" That the master be requested to report specially as
to the amount of room available in the workhouse, and
the number of persons possible to be got rid of out of
those inmates under 30. years of age."

Mr. CARR said he held in his hand the South Austra-
lian Gazette of the 6th of March last, which had been
addressed to the board, and from which it appeared that
whilst there was so much distress and want of employ-
ment here there was abundance of it in the colony of
South Australia. The paper stated, " The want of
labour in the colony is daily becoming more pressing.
Every available pair of hands are employ ed, and enter-
prise in all directions, pastoral, agricultural, and mineral,
is cribbed and confined by the impossibility of obtaining
a sufficiency of working power to carry on the legitimate
operations of the colonists. The landed proprietors of
the colony had presented a memorial to the Secretary of
State for the Colonies on the subject; and had prepared
ships to carry over emigrants. Carpenters. masons,
and smiths obtained constant employ at 6s. to is. Gd. per
day, and labourers from 21s. to 30s. per week." He felt
assured there were hundreds of poor fellows who would
avail themselves of this rather than come to that work-
house for relief. He moved—

"That the secretary communicate with the Colonial
Land and Emigration Commissioners for information
on the subject."
Mr. Micum seconded the motion, and it was carried
rem con.

On the motion of Mr. SODEN, the board was ordered
to be specially summoned to receive the reports as to
the increased distress and destitution and the state of
the workhouse.

The beard then broke up.

COURT-MARTIAL AT CLIATHAM.—The members of
a General Court-martial,of which Court Colonel Charles
Menzies, li.II , Royal Marines, is President, re-assem-
bled on Thursday in the General Court-martial Room,
by order of his Grace the Commander-in-Chief, for the
trial of Private Edward Carter, ofs the 89th Regiment,
for stealing two 51. Bank of England notes and some
plain clothes from Ensign G. Pinckney Atkinson, of the
same corps, at Sheerness. The prisoner was servant to
Lieutenant John Macdonald Cuppage, and that officer's
kitchen was opposite to the kitchen of Ensign Atkin-
son, in the garrison at Sheerness. That, on the 7th of
October last, Ensign Atkinson came off the Dockyard
guard at Sheerness, and that, ou his arrival at his
quarters, he pulled off his uniform coat and gave it to
his servant, Edward Peechey, to brush ; at that
time there was in his pocket a purse containing
two 51. Bank of England notes. When the servant
returned the coat, the purse, and money were gone,
and, although strict search was made for it,
nothing was heard of it. On the 15th of the same
month Colour-Sergeant John Couper, of the same
regiment, with Private Peechey, went, by order
of Major Robert Lewis, to search the prisoner's box for
some writing of the prisoner, and on doing so they found
two steel rings and steel drops, which Peechey identified
to have belonged to his master's purse that was lost with
the bank-notes. The circumstance was communicated
to Ensign Atkinson, aid by order of Major Lewis, on
further search of the prisoner's box, they found two pair
of white drill tronsers, one pair of black beaver ditto,
and one pair of cotton drawers, and one silk pocket.
handkerchief, the property of Ensign Atkinson ; also
31. 9s. 6d. in gold and silver, two silver watches, and
two new pocket-handkerchiefs, and other articles. On
the discovery of the new pocket-handkerchiefs the pri-
soner was taken to Mr. King's, a linen-draper at Mill
Town, when Mr. King identified the prisoner as the man
who had, on the 12th of October, changed at his shop
two 5/. Bank of England notes, the numbers of which
corresponded with the numbers of those that Ensign
Atkinson had lost. The prisoner made a defence which
did him more harm than good. He has been three years
in the regiment, and up to the present transaction his
character has been good. The decision of the Court
will not be known until confirmed by the Horse Guards.
MONUMENT TO WASHINGTON AT NEW YORE.—
On the 19th of last month thirty thousand persons as-
sembled to witness the ceremony of laying the first stone
of en enormous monument to Washington, in New
York. The members of Congress, ministers of state,
foreign ambassadors, and a triumphal car, drawn by six
white horses, containing a bust of the American hero,
surrounded by thirteen young girls in white, to repre-
sent the thirteen original states, formed part of an im-
mense procession to the site. The monument is com-
menced on elevated ground, and being intended to serve
as a landmark for ships at sea, is proposed to be of very
considerable height. A New York paper gives a small
view of it, showing it to be a tower in six stories, gradually
decreasing in size, and separated by hard horizontal
lines, after the fashion of what is believed to have been
the arrangement of the Tower of Babel, or a monstrous
opera-glass pulled out to its furthest extent. Our au-
thority says, that when the coffer had been deposited, a
shower of money and bouquets rained in from the sur-
rounding spectators, each anxions to make his offering
to the memory of Washington.—The Builder.
• LOSSES OF THE FRENCH NAVY.—A French con-
temporary gives the following as a correct statement of
the losses of the French navy within the last two years:
—"The state has lost the Berceau, corvette of 30 guns,
which went down at sea; the Colibre of 4 guns, advice-
boat, which like the Berceau was on the Bourbonsta-f
i
sta-
tion, and was also lost at sea; the Doris schooner
__ of
six 18-pound carronades which sunk n sight of Brest;
the Levrette cutter of 6 guns, wrecked on the coast of
America; the Seine sloop of war of 24 guns, which was
driven on shore at New Zealand; the Gloire frigate of
d the Victorieuse of 24 guns, wrecked on the
coasts4end
of Goree; the Greenland steam-frigate of 450-
horse power, run on shore on tho coast of Africa as she
was returning from the expedition against Mogador ;
the Caraibe, of 450 horse power, lost at Senegal; the
Pepin steam-sloop of 160-horse power; the Sphynx, also
of the same power; and the Eridan of 60-horse power,
wrecked at Guyana."
THE NEw ARCHBISHOP or YORK.--The Right
Rev. Thomas Musgrave, D.D., is a native of Cambridge.
His father was a woollen-draper and tailor, and obtained
some notoriety about the end of the last' century as a
warm and liberal supporter of the Whigs, at a time when
Whig advocacy, especially in a university town, displayed
not a little courage in the partizan Dr. Musgrove was
born, wo believe, in 1788; in 1837, 'w
while Dean of Bristol,
he was appointed to the see of Hereford. In 1839, Dr.
Musgrave married the 1111 Catherine Cavendish,
youngest daughter of Richard, second Baron Waterpark.
Dr. e, Musgrave, Archdeacon Craven and Vicar of
Halifax, is a younger brother of of
ofthe Bishop.
WAKEFIELD CORNd MARKET. FRIDAY.—This week
there is a pretty
arrival of wheat, for which we
have a steady demandgoo at last week's prices. Barley is
offered at a reduction of 1 s. per quarter without leading
to much business. No change to note in the value of
oats and shelling. Beans sell quite in retail at rather
lower rates.
