not be more,prudent to let the priests rave on
after their own fashion. To prosecute them will I
only serve to make martyrs of them in the eyes
of the uneducated Spanish people. Left to them-
selves they will soon attract no more attention
than so many bedlamites. A priesthood that
troubles itself with politics, soou destroys its in-
fluence over the popular mind.

The change in the Turkish Cabinet is the only
subject of importance mooted in the French
Journals of Sunday. This change is thought to
be favourable to France, whose policy, liberal at
home, is illiberal in every other part of the
world. But what France can gain by the acces-
sion of a Ministry at Constantinople pledged to
concede all the claims of MEHEMET ALI, is
more than we can pretend to discover. An Anti-
Reform Turkish Cabinet, however well it may
be disposed to cultivate amicable relations with
France, must, by stopping the progress of
im-
provement, inflict great injury upon Frencli sub-
jects scattered throughout every part of the
Ottoman empire. However much France may
be rejoiced, we do not think that England has
reason to lament the temporary retirement of
REscHID PACHA, notwithstanding his strong
' bias in favour of British influence. Had Lord
PONSONBY actually represented the state of pub-
lic feeling in this country with regard to the
Eastern question, the case would have been very
different.
The Moniteur Parisien announces that M. Caille, Mar-
shal Soult's aide-de-camp, had arrived in Paris from Algiers,
bringing most important despatches from General Bugeaud
to the Minister of War.
According to the Journal des Debats, the works of the for-
tifications of Paris were to have commenced simultaneously on
every point on Monday last. Upwards of 10,003 workmen
were engaged on Friday and Saturday last, and the contractors
were enjoined to prosecute the works with all possible activity.
The Three per Cents. were done at Tortoni's at 78f. 5c., a
shade lower than the closing price on Saturday.
We have received the followino. letter :
ALGIERS, APRIL 6.—By the departure of the expedition
the environs of Algiers are left without troops. This morning
the' herd of oxen, consisting of 1,200 head, which was in the
pasture grounds of Sidi Kalif, was surrounded by a body of
300 Bedouins. A battalion of the 20th Regiment came up,
and it was not till after a very sharp engagement that our
brave troops succeeded in recovering the oxen. '1 he enemy
lost many men. We had 11 men killed and 7 wounded.
We have received, by private arrivals, some news of the
expedition. The army had passed on the 4th the Col de
Teneah. It will march several times from Blida to Medeah
and Medeanah, which will serve as bases for the operations.
The main operation will commence at the beginning of May.

The Journal du Havre contains the following article
We have said, an the authority of letters from Valparaiso,
that the Hem would without doubt bring in satisfactory news
respecting the unfortunate crew of the Delphine, who was left
on a desert island on the coast of Patagonia, waiting in that
perilous situation for the return of Captain Coisy, who sailed
from San Carto to go to their relief." The Heva is in the
road, and at the time of the departure from Valparaiso no in-
telligence on this subject had been received.
To a LON, APRIL 13.—Vice-Admiral Hugon's squadron, now
at anchor at the Theres islands, will return to Toulon to cele-
brate the King's fete. The squadron of Rear-Admiral Baron
La Susse will, in its turn, get to sea.to exercise the crews.—

A SABBATH-DAY SCENE.
(From the Morning Chronicle.)
EARL OF CARDIGAN.
'Tis Sunday, the day of holy rest,
And I must away to the " House of prayer."
God knows, I'm bad enough at best,
And much occasion I have to go there—
If not with the army, at least ;with the Church
I must keep on terms, or I'll be in the lurch.
(The Riding-school—time of divine service.)
Great God 1 I own my many sine,
And beg to be forgiven ;
" As we to ethers mercy show,
We mercy hope from heaven."
(The Riaing-school—divine service concluded.:
That d—d fellow, Rogers, got drunk of a night,
The rules of the service scorning ;
And who would allege it isn't right
That he should be flogg'd i' the morning ?
'Tie Sunday—the day of holy rest—
But " the better the day, the better the deed,"
A hundred lashes he'll have, or " I'm blest,"
Two hundred would be a fitter meed
They'll say 'cis unchristian, cruel, and that,
But who cares a curse for their villainous stuff?
Tie him up to the stake—lay on " the Cat "
And damned be he that first cries " Hold 1 Enough 1"
I've bean drunk myself, over-night, but then
In the company 'twas of gentlemen.
Ah 1 now he has got eleven times nine,
One more—and bring me a bottle of wine.
EARL CARDIGAN.

EPIGRAMS.
" Forgive us our trespasses as weforgive them that tres•
pass against us."
" That mercy 1 to others show
That mercy show to me."
Prostrate in pray'r the Colonel lies,
While vengeance from his eye-balls flashes,
First to his God for mercy cries,
Then gives his man a hundred laTher.

" TVhoni he loveth, he chasteneth."
In true Christian spirit and love for his kind,
Another like C-- where shall we find?
In the house where he worships the echoes will tell,
That him whom be loveth he chasteneth well.

THE IMPORTATION OF LIVE STOCK INTO
mutton LONDON.—The importation of live cattle and other agri-
cultural produce into London, from Scotland, is n,. w
carried on to a great extent, and appears to be on the
increase, upwards of 400 oxen, and 12 tonscit
utt on
Wharf,
and
pork, having been landed at the Scotch whai fs during the
put week. On Friday afternoon the steamship London,
Captain Ewing, arrived at 'lore's Steam-packet
Wapping, from Dundee, with upwards of 50 live fat
cattle, and nearly 10 tons of pork, besides a large quan-
tity of River Tay salmon in boxer. The greater portion
of the oxen imported, however, from Scotland, came front
Aberdeenshire. The average number of live pigs im_
ported into London each week, from Cork, is about 500,
a "swinish multitude" truly. Inverness-shire contributes
the greatest number of live sheep; whilst the greatest
quantity of killed mutton, prepared for the London mar-
kets, is brought from Leith and Edinburgh. Vass
quantities of eggs and shell-fish are imported weekly from.
13erwick-upon-Tweed. Immense quantities of brown had..
are now being imported into London from almus,
every shipping place in Scotland.
The adoption of the rural police force in the
eastern division of the county of Sussex has driven such I.
host of thieves and vagabonds into the western division 01
the county, that in self defence the magistrates will bi
compelled ;to institute a rural police force to rid them-
selves of the nuisance...—Sussex
