The Eidgenosse, of Lucerne, says that the new charter will
not obtain any vote in the valley called Surenthal, it is pro-
nounced, says the same journal, that it will be also rejected in
the whole of the Wiggerthal, and in several communes in the
district of Willisau, and at Eschenback, Munster, Bc.c.
This sudden revolution in the minds of part of the people
has arisen because the ultramontane aristocrats have not kept
fair promises when they set about the work of revising the
Constitution. They have betrayed here and there a tendency
to reaction by relieving the convents from the principal bur-
dens by requiring the payment of a certain amount of taxes as
a qualification for admission to the discussion in the Com-
munes, and by neglecting to lighten the burdens of the pa)ers
of tithes.—Le Commerce.
PA RIS, MAY 2.—The Duke of Orleans has transmitted f o the
Archbishop 10.000 francs, to be distributed among the parents of
poor children who shall be brought for baptism to-day, to-mor-
row, and the day after, in the several parishes of Paris.—Le
Constitutionnel.

Madrid Journals of the 7 ult. announce that
the Regency has removed the Bishop of Pam-
peluna from his See, for publishing a pastoral ad-
dress in favour of the Papal Allocution. This is
going the right way to work. A few such re-
movals will set at rest the scruples of the Prelacy.
Bishops are not the stuff of which to make mar-
tyrs.

There is no news in these papers of the lease
interest. The Regency question is still pending
The Fives had risen on the 27th to 27,1 for cash.

COALS, CINDERS, D CULM.
The following, from a return made to the
House of Commons, are the quantities of coal,
cinders, and culm, exported from the United
Kingdom to foreign countries, with the amount
of duties received :

Coals, 1,592,283 tons ; Cinders, 13,783 tons •
Culm, 247 tons; and the total duty, 6,9781.
About one-fourth of the coals are sent to France,
In 1839, 2,625,323 tons of coals were brought
coastwise to the port of London, and 12,933 tons
by inland navigation.
In 1840 the quantities respectively were
2,566,899, and 22,188, making a total for each
year of 2,638,256 and 2,589,087 tons, brought to
London.

NEWS FROM CHINA.

We have received the following intelligence in
anticipation of the Overland Mail from India :
The. Indian Mail has arrived in town, bringing
dates from China to the 12th February, Calcutta to
the 22d March, and Bombay to the Ist April. The
intelligence so received is not satisfactory. The
Chinese Chief Commissioner Keshen, in his in-
terview with Captain Elliot, evinced an intention
to procrastinate, which, added to a report that
warlike orders had been received from Pekin,
produced an impression that hostilities must be
renewed.

The accounts from India are also of =unsatis-
factory character. In Scinde and Affghanistan
considerable ferment prevailed.

The fort of Kajuck was unsuccessfully attacked
by our troops on the 20th of February. Colonel
✓iisou was mortally wounded, Lieut, Falconer
killed, and Lieutenants Shaw and Farquharson
wounded.

In an engagement between some troops of the
Bengal establishment and a tribe of Khybenries
the latter were defeated; but two European
officers, Capt. Douglas and Lieut. Pigou, of the
Bengal Engineers, were killed.
It was believed that the Persians meditated
another attack upon Herat.
Lahore was still the scene of riot and blood-
shed. Shere Sing was still the nominal King
of the Punjaub ; but the state of that unfortu-
nate country was deplorable, and forbade all
hope of its being early arranged.
The Levant correspondence which has come to
band with the foregoing contains no news of im-
portance. Our Alexandrian letters of the
of April state that the reply of the Sultan to the
rP7iionstrance of Mehemet Ali had not yet
been received.—Times,

gut-manses were issued yesterday to the Mi-
nisters to attend a Cabinet Council to-morrow
(Thurs.t.lay) evening, at the Foreign-office. Vis-
count Melbourne will come from Windsor Castle
to attend tile Cabinet.
DIFFICULT OPERATION.— On Wednesday
last a very difficult uperatiOn for the cure of the deformity
Capui Obstipum, or Wry-neck, was performed by Mr. R.
J. Lear, surgeon, of Plymouth, cn a female 21 years old,
named nottiblyioiVing at Morice-town. The deformity
had existed at birth, which makes the case more novel,
and the head was nearly level with the shoulder, thus
rendering her appearance most frightful. The operation
was completely successful, the bead on its termination
taking an upright and natural position, we need scarcely
add, much to the comfort and delight of the patient.
The deformity is caused by the contraction of the muscle,
which when perfect draws the bead to one side and bends
it forward; and the operation consists in dividing this
muscle; but great discrimination is required to ascertain
whe:her the hopes of the neck (copical vertebrae) have
ieconii implicated in the deformity. This Pi the first in?
:rine; of trying and difficult operation being per-
k rmad in this peighbenrhoOd • and we base beard very

ing of the young head under celestial grace" is
one of those flowers of rhetoric which could only
bloom in Frapce. How a really sensible man
like Louis PHILIPPE could have listened to such
servile twaddle without laughing in the face of
the deputation, is only to be accounted for by his
proficiency in King-craft. The Prefect of the
Seine might study the words of FENELON and
BossurT with advantage.

The Opposition Journals are angry with the
KING for concealing his route to the Cathedral,
and for going in a carriage only drawn by two
horses. These Journals ought to be aware that
there is no human being without some weakness,
and that among those of the KING must be
classed his extreme dislike of being shot at by
his loving subjects. Though sometimes reason-
proof, his MAJESTY is not bullet-proof, and there-
fore he objects to the Parisian practice of n, „R_
ing a target of him on all great State o-,casions.
Nor do we blame the KING for e-,-tercising due

ble of attempting nrarder on a scale less limited
than the theatre of Europe. Nor were the dis-

day, as :Ippears from the following extract from
the Debats of Monday :--
The factious, with that fatal sagacity which never fails them,
were perfectly aware of the advantage to he derived at the
approach of .o important a popular movement, from the melan-
choly success which they had recently obtained in the presenne
of justice for a moment blind and impotent. A profusion of
copies of this deplorable trial was distributed amongst the peo-
ple • they were thrown by thousands into the reading-rooms,
coffee-houses, and shops of the metropolis. It was expected at
least to irritate the people's minds, if they were not able to ex-
cite them to acts of violence.
" Such was the calculation of the factious. The event has
proved that it is false. The factious had calculated without
considering the good sense of the people, who repelled all their
insinuations, and treated their calumnies with more justice
than the Jurors themselves.
There was no shooting, however, because the
KING, being the only object upon which a Pari-
sian mob spends powder and shot, was not visible.
Our readers know that the new constitution adopted by the
great Council of Lucerne must be approved by the Com-
mercial Assemblies of that canton on the Ist of May.
The Hevetie, of the 30th of April, has the following remarks
on the subject :
" The accounts which we receive this morning from that
canton are favourable to the liberal cause. As the day ap-
proaches which is fixed for the people to vote on the fate of the
new constitution deserters become more considerable in the
ranks of the Constituante, so that we ale almost obliged to
doubt whether ultramontane aristocracy or liberalism will
triumph in the great struggle that will take place on this oc-
casion.
