BRUNSWICK, Arum 22.—The plan which has been
communicated to the Estates to issue paper money to
the amount of 600,000 dollars, notwithstanding all that
may be said in its favour, is by no means generally ap-
proved by the public.
HANOVER, APRIL 26.—Yesterday an express
brought ;he melancholy news of the death of the Mi-
nister of War, General Count Von Alten. He had ob-
tained leave of absence for a year to recover his health,
in the mild climate of Southern Italy. Unhappily he
did not live to return home. The body is to be brought
to Hanover. Count Von Alten must have been in his
70th year. We hear nothing of his successor to the
office of Minister of War. Since his absence the duties
of the office have been performed by Lieutenant Count
Von Kielmansegge.
HANOVER, APRIL 21.—The account of the revenue
for the financial years, 1838 and 1839, proves to be
extremely favourable. The receipts amounted to
6,566,138 rixdollars, and the expenditure to 5.591,850
rixdollars, being an olerplus of 984,288 rixdollars.
The King's rescript to the Assembly of the Estates,
(listed 28th May, 1839, proposed that the surplus re-
venue of the years 1838 and 1839, which was assumed
to be 200,000 dollars, with all other sums of the re-
venue of that year that might be disposable, should be
applied to the payment of the public debt, and the
State declared, on the 20th June, 1839, their concur-
rence :n this proposal. An extraordinary grant of
280,000 rixdollars for the increase of 1837 and 1838
has been applied to the payment of the public debt, and
also the above sum of 984,288, from the surplus of
1838 and 1839, in all 1,260,000 rixdollars.
WARSAW, APRIL 6.—The English mission for the
conversion of the Jews, consisting partly of English mis-
sionaries, partly of German mysticks, who held meet-
ings here, have had their assemblies forbidden,
and all preaching prohibited. It is notorious that these
pious gentlemen, during the war and afterwards, suf-
fered themselves to be employed as spies, and did much
mischief by their denunciations. They are now hum-
bled by the hand that they served. We must, how-
ever, do justice to the English company. The system
of espionage was the act of individual members, and
was not even known in London. The most guilty
persons are Germans, and among them several con-
verted Jews, by whose conversion, therefore, not much
is gained.

FRENCH JUSTICE.—An action was tried a few
days ago before the Tribunal of Commerce, Paris, in which
Messrs. Rowland and Son, London, of Macassar Oil ce:ebrity,
were plaintiffs, and Messrs. Gueland, Messier, and Amaret, in
Paris, were defendants. Messrs. Rowland complained that the
defendants had, in order to ensure a sale for a composition,
which they also called Macassar Oil, imitated their bottles and
labels, and thus injured the reputation of the genuine article,
and diminished its sale. The Tribunal, deciding that foreigners
trading with France were entitled to protection against a fraud
of this description, sentenced the defendants, who sold the Ma-
cassar Oil bearing false labels, to pay 600 fr. each, and 500 fr. for
every new contravention of which they may be guilty ; and
ordered other defendants, who were the manufacturers of the
bottles and printers of the labels, to deliver none of the same
description without the authority of Messrs. Rowland. The
Tribunal, in giving its judgment in this case, mentioned, among
the motives of its decision, that a foreigner, bringing into
France either a manufacture or manufactured objects, ought to
receive the same protection as a French subject; that, in the
present instance, it was necessary to secure to the plaintiffs,
not only their property, but also their commercial name, which
no one else had the right to make use of : that good faith and
equity were of all countries, and that the Tribunal could not
suffer the public to be deceived by speculations, which good
faith and equity alike condemned ; and, in fine, that it was of
importance for foreign traders in France to receive that pro-
tection from the French laws, which it was to be hoped French
traders would, in return, meet with in other countries.
TAGLIONI.—Maria Taglioni was born at
Stockholm on the 23d of April, 1809. Her father is an Ita-
lian, her mother a Swede. The name is a celebrated one on
the Italian stage, several rrtists bearing it with much distinc-
tion, but it is chiefly indebted for its fame to the great dancer,
who has dethroned the ci-derant Terpsichore of the Paris
Academie Royale, and upon whose aerial pedestal such an
abundance of flowers, wreaths, and incense has been offered
for ten years past. Karstein, Taglioni's maternal grandfather,
was the Telma of Sweden, and not only an able tragic actor,
but likewise a very remarkable singer. Gustavus 111., who
