titularly those portions which relate to the present and
meditated state of the works for manufacturing Marino
Stz•ant Engines at Indret. It appears that at present, and
for a year to come, the whole resources of France in this
manufacturing department cannot produce steam-engines
of more than 220-horsepower; but arrangements are now
making to enable them to manufacture to the extent of a
dozen of 450 horse power per annum. Taking this as a
matter of intention of what will be done alter a while—
like all other statements connected with French naval
afr,irs_we may just hint that, pending the preparations
on so great a :tale, it would be well to clap an embargo on
the engines now making—some nearly ready—in this
country, for t' e French Government. Report states this
to be intended as regards horses; but the French can

'There have just been gathered, growing in the
open garden of the lion. Mrs. Fox, the widow . f the late
Charles James Fox, at St. Anne's Hill, Cbertsey, so-
veral dishes of raspberries, of peculiar size and flavour.
The health of the widow of this celebrated statesman,
who is last approaching her hundreth year, is exceedingly
good.

On Monday morning considerable alarm was ex-
cited in the town of Monmouth, in consequence of a bill
being generally:placarded, announcing that a Chartist meet-
inc would be held in Victoria-square in the evening, The
Magistrates, on being informed of this fact, causid a
noliee
to be immediately printed and issued, warning the inhabi-
tants from attending such meeting. In the evening, at
the appointed hour, from a hundred and fifty to two hu,
dred persons assembled in front of a house in Victoria-
square, occupied by a person named Williams, from the
window of which they were addressed by two persons named
Philp and Bolwell, from Bath. Their addresses were
listened to rather coolly by the crowd, and at the conclusion,
when sonic one in front of the house called for three cheers
for the Charter, it was not responded to by those present.
After the conclusion, of the speeches, the meeting quietly
dispersed. On the following day Philp end Bolwell, in their
pr.gress of agitation, were proceeding towards Pontypool,
when they were taken into custody on a warrant signed bythe
borough Magistrates,and safely lodged in the lock-up house.
On Wednesday they underwent an examination before the
Magistrates, and urged in defence their peaceable cur-
duct, and their right to give lectures. After a few too_
mints' consultation between the Magistrates, Sir Thomas
Phillips, addressing the prisoners, said that from the re-.
spectlul manner in which they had conducted themselves,
the Magistrates would not put them to any further ineon-
venience than was necessary, and if they were not prepared
with bail, but could name any reasonable time, they migla
remain in custody in Newport, arid not be sent to Usk or
Monmouth, where perhaps their friends would not be able
so easily to reach them. He then ordered them severally
to find bail, themselves in 501 each, and two others in 251..
each, or one in 501, to appear and answer any charge ttait
might be brought against them at the ensuing Sessions,
and l.kewise for their good behaviour. Bail was instantly
given, and they were discharged. —Hunmouthshire
