man, and they show the bitterness of their mor-
tification by removing from their sight everything
calculated to remind of a connexion not over and
above creditable to any of the parties concerned.
Thus at a public meeting of the Sunderland
Tories, held on the 19th ult., the following reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted :
That this meeting are of opinion, that the conduct of
Mr. 'Alderman Thomson has been unconstitutional, and
highly detrimental to the interests of the Borough.
That the portrait of the Alderman be immediately
withdrawn from the Exchange Buildings, and that the
same be submitted for sale by public auction.
That Mr. Horner be instructed to remove the Alder-
man's Arms from his building, and to adopt the title of
" Horner's Commercial Hotel."

These resolutions were advertised at the expense
of the meeting, but as we would not have the
character of the Alderman among the Tories
confined to the Conservative Journals, we insert
them for nothing. The picture, with two him-
dred engravings from it, are also advertised to
be sold; but as there is nobody in Sunderland to
bid a penny for them, the borough had better
make a present of them to Lord LOWTHER. All
parties are now sick of the Alderman, whose
person and picture are equally a drug in the
Tory market.

We have received the whole of the French
Journals of Friday and Saturday. Their con-
tents are of little political interest. According
to the Temps England and France have come
to a satisfactory agreement relative to Tunis, so
that we shall have no more troubles in that
quarter. The press, however, continues to cla-
mour against any reduction of the armaments.
A Minisiter of War without 400,000 bayonets
at his disposal, and a Minister of Marine with-
out twenty sail of the line in commission, are
never again to be seen in France. While the
people arc everywhere sinking under the weight
of taxation, the Journals advocate a policy which,
if persisted in, must increase the public burdens

There was another case of a defaulter on the
Paris Bourse on 'Saturday. The Baron d'E—
was found to be short of cash to the amount of
500,000 francs.
A letter from Athens states that the public executioner,
a Frenchman, whilst walking on the shore of the island of
.:Egina, which had been assigned as his asylum from the
prejudices of the people, had been shot. Several of his
predecessors met their deaths in a similar manner. _

The documents relative to the appeal of Madame Laf-
farge to the Court of Cassation, against the judgment of
the Correctional Tribunal of Tulle refusisg her the delay
she demanded, and against the judgment given by default
on the indictment itself, have been received in Paris; and
M. Saint-Laurent has been named reporter on the case.
The German Journal if Frankfort states that M.
Becker, author of the song of the " Rhine," has just re-
ceived from some patriots of Mentz a present of a mag-
nificent silver cup.
The Swiss papers mention that some extensive gait
springs have, been recently discovered near Kaiser-Augst,
in Argau.
A Belgian journal, the Tribune, states that a woman
of Oreye, aged 40, and who had never before had a
child, has just been brought to bed of three daughters.
Her husband is turned sixty.
The Grand Council of the Canton of Tessino has just
adopted a project of political amnesty, and issued two
proclamations, on the 21st ult., relative to this subject.
Criminal procedure is to be continued only against the
authors, leaders, and promoters of the late insurrection,
and the Grand Council has declared its intention to em-
ploy clemency even against parties the most seriously
compromised in that affair, upon their showing signs of
repentance. _ _

A new Constitution for the principality of Schwartz-
burg Sonderhausen was promulgated on the 24th ult.
It comprises 16 chapters and 210 paragraphs, and di-
rects among other liberal provisions that the representa-
tive assembly shall consist of 2 nobles, 9 deputies of
towns and burghs, 3 deputies from the peasants, 2 de-
puties from the learned professions, and 2 deputies from
merchants and traders.

A Frankfurt paper states that a fr- •

On the occasion of the visit of M. Thiers to
Tr _en, offered offered to sell it to him for 1,500 dollars (5,835 f.)
Thiers said he was glad to see so much sympathy for
Napoleon in a Saxon family, but could not think of de-
priving them of such a relic at any price !
The Leipsic Gazette, which stated a short time since
that during the manoeuvres of the guards near Potsdam,
several men were wounded by their comrades, having
put sand and 'stones in their guns when firing at each
other in the mock engagements, says that, during the
reviews at Leignitz, the Prince of Prussia was wounded
in the thigh by a stone fired in this manner. The wound
was slight, and, after it had been dressed, the Prince
continued on horseback during the rest of the day.
A correspondent writes from Rome, on the 23d ult.,
that a violent storm of thunder and lightning, accom-
panied by a deluge of rain, occurred that morning.
The quantity of water which fell had never been wit-
nessed before in Rome, but the duration of the tropea
was only an hour. The electric fluid struck the column
of Antoninus Pius, on the Piazza Colouna, and chipped
off fragments from the pedestal, and injured the inscrip-
tion, but the extent of the damage had not then been
ascertained.

The Antwerp papers state that M. Busson, Belgian
Consul-General at Gaines, has failed, and that several
houses at Antwerp are sufferers by this disaster.
We learn from Hanover that Professor Heeren, of
Gottingen, has been commissioned by the Government
to travel through France and Belgium, and imptiee into
the causes of the immense extension of the manufactures
and commerce of these two countries in the course of
the last few years. M. Ileeren is to proceed shortly to
Paris, where his investigations arc to commence.
A correspondent on the frontiers of Poland writes to
the Augsburg Gazette—" We have from 16,000 to 20,000'
men constantly okeiployed on the railroad between 'War-
saw and Cracow. Of these 15,000 are Russian serfs let
out by their masters, to whom the contractors pay from
six to ten silver roubles, according to the strength and
capacity of the men, moreover, furnishing them with
maintenance, and paying 700 roubles for every man who
may die or be missing."
The following statistics of Berlin are given by a journal
of that capital;---" In 1640 Berlin contained only 6,000
inhabitants; at the close of the reign of the Grand Elec-
tor of Brandenburgh, Frederick William, there was
20,000. Llis successor, who became King of Prussia
under the name of Frederick 1., decreed in 1709 that
the different towns divided on the banks of the Spree
should be united under one local Government, and bear
the name of Berlin. At the end of his reign the number
of inhabitants was 50,000. Frederick William 1., father
of the Great Frederick, enlarged Berlin, and in his reign
the number of houses was 4,300, and hat of the inha-
bitants 90,000. Under Frederick IL, the population,
including the garrison, was 145,000. It is now 250,000."
A letter from Beyrout, of the 29th August, in the
Toulonnaise, informs us that a few days previously two
men, disguised as women, and accompanied by an old
woman, obtained admission into the house of one of the
inhabitants of Jaffa during his absence, and proceeded to
commit atrocious violence on a young female. A complaint
having been made to the authorities, one of the two men
was arrested, but the other took refuge in the house of the
English consular agent, who is a Syrian; but a crowd hay-
ing assembled in front of it, and threatened to force its way
in, if the man was not delivered up, the consular agent
surrendered him to the authorities. Shortly after, the
old woman who assisted the two criminals was met in the
street and stabbed. The French Consul, who was seen
on his way home, was asked by the exasperated crowd,
whether the European agents had received a mission to
protect criminals ; but speaking Arab with fluency, he
was -able to tranquillise them, and to make his retreat
without receiving any injury:
The Echo du Luxembourg says :—" We are assured
that on the frontiers of the Grand Duchy, towards
Prussia, the free exportation and importation of a great
timber of articles continue to take place, notwithstand-
, ing the non-ratification of the treaty by his Majesty.
It is' added that Luxembourg daily exports many cattle
and '&great quantity of corn.',
