BUJ francs which M. TRIERS had paid the slavery
•-t -rent/ M. CAPO DE FEUILLIDE, SO that it must
•
now come out of the pocket of the ex-President
of the Council. This is the severest rebuff that
M. THIERS has yet encountered, and he seemed
to stagger under it. The other items of the Bill
were adopted by large majorities.
Some alarm was again created on the Bourse by the finan-
cial exposé made by M. Eumann during the debate on the
supplementary credits. The Minister said, that if the Govern-
ment did not bring forward during this session a Bill for the
construction of extensive lines of railroads, it was because it
was aboat to negotiate a loan of 450,000,000 f., and that it
could not think of raising a comeetition in the market at the
time of its realization : but next year, should circumstances
improve, and the situation of the country be prosperous, then
the Government would see no danger in undertaking those
great works. He was now providing for the extraordinary
wants of the State with Treasury-bonds. The Minister thee
proceeded to describe to the Chamber the deplaable condition
in which the Thiers Administration had left the finances,. and
showed that by the, wise management of the present Ministry.
the deficit, which would have amounted to 900,000,000 f., had
been reduced to about 500,000,000 f.
Monsignor Maximos Mazloum, chief of the entire Greek
Catholic nation in the Levant, Patriarch of Antioch, Alexan-
dria, and Jerusalem, had arrived in Paris.
The intelligence from Constantinople of the 24th ult., an-
. neunces the birth of a fourth daughter of the Sultan.
From 400 to 500 of the labourers employed on
the works for fortifying Paris, struck on Thurs-
day for an increase of wages.
The Journal du Havre, says the journals of the Havannah
state, that an English man of war had attacked and destroyed,
by its crew, two factories established by Mr. Blanco and Don
Pedro Martinez, on the coast of Africa. 1,500 negroes belong-
ing to ;here factories, fled under this attack, and the loss is es-
timated at no less than 500,000 piasters. This news has ex-
cited great fermentation at the Havannah, and will produce an
equal excitement in Spain against the brutality of the English.
The latter found their right to act as they did -on the ground
that these factories were establishments for carrying on the
slave trade.

By the Royal Tar steamer, which arrived at
Falmouth on Saturday, we have received ad-
vices from Lisbon of the 15th inst. The new Mi-
nister of Finance, Baron TOJAL, experienced
great opposition in the Cortes. Baron MoN-
convo, Portuguese AmbaSsador in London, has
been invited by the Government to accept the
office of Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Mi-
nister of Justice has resigned, and the Bishop of
LEINA was spoken of as his succes ion The fol-
lowing extract from a letter is the only piece of
general news brought by these Papers :
A gang of robbers who had long infested Upper Beira, and
who not long since murdered and stripped a magistrate of
Gouvea at mid-day, has, by a notice in the _Dian o, dated
Midoes, sth inst., been entirely destroyed by a detachment of
soldiers and the neighbouring peasantry. The daring im-
punity of the gang may be judged of by the way in which
they accomplished the above murder. They went, eight in
number, ali armed, to the neighbourhood of Gouvea, where
six concealed themselves, and the two others went to the house
of Magistrates, and presented him with a petition to read,
which he tool: in both hands, and while doing so they shot
him. There were a body of labourers at work, eighteen in
number, who rushed in at the noise, but the other robbers
making their appearance at the moment, the workmen ran
away, and left them to complete their work of plunder. One
of the gang ultimately informed against the rest, who were
surrounded in a detached house by twelve soldiers and a
number of peasantry, but refusing to surrender, a regular
siege took place, which only ended when they were all shot—
resisting to the last, and killing six of their assailants, among
whom were four soldiers, and several others being more or less
wounded. The robbers had perforated the walls of the house,
and kept up a constant fire on the soldiers, who contrived
at last to throw in combustible materials and set it on fire,
notwithstanding which, however, they resisted till they were
all shot.

THE NEW POOR-LAW has, more than any
other thing, made the Whigs unpopular in the
country. Now, as they get nothing whatever by
this law, as it adds nothing to their Parliament-
ary influence, and secures them no hold of office,
it must be admitted that, in braving this un-
popularity, they have been actuated by the
purest motives. They have believed that the
law would benefit the working classes and check
pauperism. Whether it have these effects or
not, is another question ; but we admire th(
patriotism more than the prudence of the Whigs,
who have not scrupled to sacrifice their own ad-
vantage in effecting what they regarded as a
public good. Could they not have allowed the
country gentlemen to bear the consequences of
their own folly, instead of taking on themselves
and on the Government the enormous responsi-
bility of all the discontent of the lower classes?
It was formerly dispersed over guardians, over-
seers, and country gentlemen ; it is now concen-
trated on the Ministers and the Government.
Of course, when they altered the Poor-law, con-
sistency required that they should reduce those
other paupers, the landowners, to live on their
own produce, not on the public taxes. They
overlooked that, and became a memorable exam-
ple ofmen carrying out only one part ofa theory, all
the portions of which they have not grasped, or
not comprehended. The principle of the Corn-
law and the principle of the New Poor-law arc
in direct opposition.
