gines to be its interest, we may easily guess who
were the intriguers who first excited these troubles.
The National thus concludes—
" Our interests, our fricnishipz, our legitimate action
in the Mediterranean are attacked on every point—in
Greece, at Tunis, at Lisbon, and in Spain. This
might hive been expected. The press had often
warned the Government against such a contingency.
What has been done to ward off the blow ?
measures have been adopted to avert it ? It was
known that England intended to demand by force the
pa) went of the Greek debt, and our Government, every-
where so prodigal, ner, r thought of giving to Coletti
the money necessary to deprive Lord Palmerston of all
pretext to commit that act of vioh:nce. Thus, every fo-
reign state protected by the system fells to ruin; Chris-
tina weep; over her sins; Isturitz will shortly seek a re-
foge in Paris; and nothing now remains Of the Iriiliant
exploits which had raised so high the glory of M. Gualt.
We are mistaken; there remains a dowry, and another
signal illustration of the fact that the dynastic interest
is necessarily the national interest."
The Pre...ye has an article on the recent changes in
the Palace of Madrid, which, from its style and its
violence, must, we should imagine, have been a ritten
by CIIRISTINA herself, complaining bitterly of the
conduct of the Spanish Ministry, " which begins by
ridding the Queen of SPAIN of her most faithful
servants, because they have opposed the pretensions
of the Engliih embassy, and asking how it occurred
that at such a crisis France was no longer seriously
represented at Madrid"—a compliment which will.no
doubt be properly appreciated by the Due DE
GLUCKSBERG, the French Ambassador in Spain, and
also by his father, the Due DECAZES.
The Journal des Debuts says—

" The importations of wheat and flour in March ex-
ceeded those of the preceding mouth. The importations
at the ports on the Atlantic were 358,874 hectolitres,
at those in the Mediterranean 637,797 hect ilitret, by
the land frontiers 76,577 hectolitres, making a total of
1.073,248 hectolitres. The importations tro-n July to
December were 2,465,069 hectolitres ; in January and
February, 1,377,896 hectolitres ; making a total since
the last crop of 4,916,213 hectolitres. This is .the
largest importation there has ever been in France.
During the same period the exportation of wheat and
flour to Algeria and the French and other
count' i,2s, has been—of flour, 8,074 quintali ; wheat,
1,621 hectolitres; meslin. barley, and r)e, 42,811 heeto-
Indian corn, 82,014 quintals."

Notwithstanding these importations, the price of
flour has risen in the Paris and flavre markets.

The Inflexible, of 90 guns, has been ordered to sail
immediately from Toulon for the Levant.
Lett,rs received in Paris on Sunday stated that
Mr. O'CONNELL (who had not yet, on Thursday last,
reached Lyon)) had been unfavourably affected by
the journey and the wintry temperature.
The Minister of Finance has given notice, that
from the 12th instant the interest on Treasury Bon is
will be as follows :-4 per cent. per annum on bonds
at from three to five months' date; 4i per cent. per
annum on bonds at from six to eleven mAiths' date;
and 5 per cent. on bonds at one year's date.

This was hell in Paris to indicate that no loan
would be required, and checked the fall in the funds.
The Madrid mail of the 6th inst. had not reached
Paris on Sunday.
The Three per Cents. were done in the Passage de
I'Opera, at 77f. 92ie.

MYSTERIOUS CASE GF DROWNlNG.—Yesterday an
itiqw.,t was held, by adjournment, at the Quccn'sqlead,
lligh-street, Poplar, before Mr. W. Baker, resp..cting
'he death of Deedrich kendrap, xho was found
in London, on ain the Blackwall Basin of the \Vest India Docks. I.
Appeared that the deceased was a native of Bremen, in
Germany, and had latdy arrived
plea-
sure excursion. He took lodgings at the C7:stlo public-
h ;use, in Whitechapel, where he remained until Tues-
d,ty morning last, when he left the house, and at twelve
o'clock the same morning his body was discovered flat
ing in the Blackwall Basin, quite dead. Ile was searched
by one of the dock constables, who found on him a small
book, in which was written his name ani address, and a
watch guard, but the watch was missing. The constable
said it was very unusual for bodies to float when they had
only been in the vi ater such a short time. The d, ceased
soon after his arrival in London was knocked down it:
the streets, and robbed of 131. Since that period he had
been principally supported by the landlord of the Castle,
and the master of the brig Dorothea. In the absence of
any conclusive evidence, the jury returned a verdict of
"Found drowned."

DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN THE BELVEDERE-ROAD.

—Yestt relay afternoon, between four and five, an acci-
dent of a most deplorable character, and which it is ex-
pected will be a'tended with fatal consequences, occurred
in the Belvedere-road to a y oung man, about twenty,
named Joseph Cox, who aas engaged for the Wood
in the above road, tr here some work-
Carving Company,shops are being constructed. The unfortunate man had
asc,lided a ladder to a height of upwards of forty feet,
when suddenly losing his hold he fell to the bottom, and
was eicked up and conveyed to the Charing-cross Hos
in
pital a frightfully mutilated state. Mr. Steghall, the
house-surgeon,said
that he had received, besides a broken
leg, a severe fracture of the skull and other injaries, that
rendered. his recovery almost hopeless. He remains in a
dreadful state of suffering at the abave institution.

share Chronicle) are authorised explicitely to contradict
the rumour of Sir James East's intention to withdraw
from, the representation of Winchester.
CORONER'S IN(luEsT.—Last evening Mr. Joseph
Payne, deputy coroner, held an inquest at the Blue Last,
Broadway, Ludgate-hill
on the body of Elizabeth Max-
well,, aged 44, who was burned to death at her residence,
No 5, Broadway. Barbara Hill, of 6, S.ar-street, Edge-
ware road, said that the deceased was her sister. About
half-past six o'cluek on Saturday
night she sent witness
to Coger's Hall, Bride lane, to see it her husband was
there. She returr.ed in about a quarter o' an hour, and
on entering the room found the deceased lying in front
of the grate, and on going to feel for her head, the flesh
came off in her hand. She was most dreadfully burned
over the head, face and neck. When she went out
deceased appeared very weak and odd in her manner, as
if she had been drinking. In answer to the Coroner,
witness stated that deceased was in the habit of eating
very little, but drinking a great deal. She (timid not
tell how the occurrence took place. ltosina Jenkins, a
little girl ten years of age, who first made the disc very,
was called into the Court, but her answers rt specting
the obligations of an oath being unsatisfactory, the
Coroner refused to examine her. George Maxatell, a
tailor, said, that he saw his wife alive for the last time
i
on Saturday. at noon. She was then sob, r, but. unwell.
She had been ill for some months. Mr. John atchinottd
(the landlord of the house) said, that tht., tteceacd had
lodged with hitn for three years. His impression was
that she was intoxicated, and fell into the .fire. There
was no alarm given by the deceased herself, or he must
have heard it, as he was in the shop the whole of the
evening. A juror said, that ten minutes before the
alarm was raised, one of his lodgers, living opposite the
house, sent to know if be was burning any thing, as
there was such an unpleasant smell? No doubt the
deceased's body was burii:g at that period. Verdict— 1
Accidental Death,
