priests, who will acquire by the new regulation
all they care for—a great number of ad.d.tional
appointments, and the ChUrch will acs Lire a
great addition to its yearly income. As the re-
venue is declining, may we respectfully ask
whether this may not be in part owing to the
multiplication of what Mr. Hume called " black-
coats " throughout the land, who obviously pro-
duce nothing, while they must be maintained by
the labour of others? It is clear that the more
such men are multiplied, the greater are the de-
mands on roductive industry, and the less there
is for the State. The wonderful skill and indus-
try of our artisans. have hitherto sustained an im-
mense number of non-productive labourers ; but
it is obvious that there must be a limit, beyond
which industry cannot feed a number of idlers.
It seems, by the late returns, that this limit is
for the present nearly reached.

Paris from Marseilles, of the *late of April the 4th, and from
Mac to of the 20th January, stating that preliminary arrange-

on the following terms, that the Chines:: cede the i,land of
Hong-Kong to Great Britain, also granting an inde:unity of
6,000,000 dollars, payable in six years, has given great adti,-
faction to the public, but it has not had that effect on the
British funds generally expected, owing to its being antici-
pated. The speculators and the public are anxiously waiting
for the papers and letters by the Overland Express, to Ivan
further particulars.

quenees, occurred to the Hon. G. Dawson, tv...."lerlY
Guards. Mr. Dawson. it appears, was riding a very
horse at the above hour in the Park, and when first noijf'ed
was observed to be going at a very furious rate towards Buck.
ingham Palace, from the carriage drive int St. James's Park.
He, however, succeeded in turning the animal up ,the road
leading to Hy de Park by Constitution-hill, when by some acci-
dent one of the horse's feet appeared to give way, when he
fell with the unfortunate gentleman under. Several re-sons
instantly rushed to his assistance, who got Mr. Dawson from
under the horse. He was nearly insensible, and appeared to
be labouring under great agony. It was found that one of
Air. Dawson's legs was broken, besides several severe injuries.
Mr. Dawson was then conveyed to Westminster H. spital,
where every assistance which the case demanded was rendered.
In the course of the day it was stated that the Hon. Gentle-
man was conveyed to his own residence.

anxious to find his way home to Italy, but being without means,
