on the 20th ult., on board the Ingermannland. The
next day he landed at Copenhagen and paid his re-
spects to the King of DENMARK, and on the follow-
ing day he sailed for St. l'etersburgh.

The POPE has appointed the Abbe GEAZIOSI as his
private secretary. The Abbe was formerly his tutor.
His Holiness has conferred the order of St. Gregory
on Professor Brrri, Secretary of the Academy of St.
Luc, and author of Italia Illtatre. His Holiness is
exceedingly popular. At Sinigaglia, his birth-place
in the midst of the demonstrations of joy which his
elevation has called forth, a society has been formed
to raise a statue to him, and to restore an ancient
aqueduct for furnishing water to the town, to be
called Acquapia, in allusion to his name of Plus. The
subscription already amounts to 80,000 scudi.

The Madrid mail, of the 4th had not reached Paris
at the hour the post left on Thursday.

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday.

The circular of M. DUCHA TEL, the Minister of the
Interior, which we published on Friday, on the subject
of the approaching elections, is commented on in all
of them. The Ministerial journals, the Debats and
the Epoque, extol it, of course, as the perfection of
wisdom. The Presse, which is by no means an un-
deviating supporter of the Soult-Guizot Ministry
speaks of it in the following terms :
" We can only give our entire approbation to the publica-
tion of this circular. Parties may discuss the principles
upon which it is based, but they cannot contest the frank-
ness with which they are set forth. This, in our eyes. is
what recommends it, and gives to it the importance of a truly
praiseworthy act of the Government."
The Constitutionnel, of course, finds fault with the
acts of the Ministry in general, and of M. GUIZOT in
particular, while M. TRIERS is represented as the beau
ideal of a perfect constitutional statesman. The Na-
tional is furious, and the Courrier Francais denounces
the circular as a useless falsehood and a gross insult
to the good sense of the country.
It was reported on the Bourse on Wednesday, that
a portion of the Great Northern Railroad, which
crosses a bog between Douay and Arras, had given
way during the passage of a train over it, and that
eleven persons had been killed and several wounded.

formed that on account of the continued illness of kr. Justice
Coleridge he will not be able to accompany Mr. Justice Pat-
teson on the Midland Circuit, which commences at North-

MASQUERADE AT VAUXHALL GARDENS.—IBRARIM
PAcHA.—The second grand bat masque is announced for this
evening, for which extensive preparations are making. The

rate brass band, are engaged. The dancing will be under the
direction of M. Gouriet, of her Majesty's Theatre, assisted
by twelve masters of ceremony. It is said that his Highness
Ibrahim Pacha and suite intend honouring the festival with
their presence.
DEATH OF ATTILA.—This celebrated racer, the
winner of the Derby in 1842, died on Friday evening, about
six o'clock, at the Messrs. Tattersall's, Hyde-park-corner.
He had been let during the past season to Monsieur Lupin, to
improve the breed of horses in France. His engage-
ment having terminated during the past we..k, he was
sent to Boulogne, where he was shipped for London.
Whilst at sea, heavy weather came on, and the horse became
extremely restless, kicking and plunging violently, so much
so, indeed, that the box in which he was placed was nearly
shattered to pieces. At last he was found lying on his
back, severely injured ,• and the man in attendance upon
him, assisted by some of the crew, got him out, placed him
on deck, and covered him over with a tarpaulin. When the
vessel arrived at the London-bridge Pier, it was found ne-
cessary to lay him in the tarpaulin, and so carry him to land.
After lying on the quay a short time, he got up, and was
led gently to Mr. Smith's liverystables, close by, where ho
remained from Tuesday night till about five o'clock next
morning, when he was taken to Mr. Tattersall's, where he
died as above stated.
MINEHEAD.—As a boy employed to keep birds from a
wheat-field adjoining Moor Brake, was amusing himself by
firing a small cannon, the furze took fire and burnt inces-
santly for several days. Nearly the whole of it was de-
stroyed, as well as potatoes in an adjoining field. Fears were
entertained for the safety of the dwelling-house and barns,
but the late rains have extinguished the fire.—Somerset
County Gazette.
ANOTHER HORRIBLE SUICIDE AT NOTTINGHAM.—
The IVidtinghaus Guardian of Friday mentions the follow-
ing terrible case of suicide in Nottingham, which oc-
curred last week :—Scarcely was the excitement allayed
occasioned by the recent double suicide in Nottingham, than
another' man was discovered in the fields at Ilolme Pierre-
punt, near Nottingham, hanging in a holly bush, and who
has since been identified as a person of the name of Mellows,
a huckster, who was in the habit of attending Nottingham,
market with vegetables. The deceased had been missed
some days, and the body when discovered was in a most
dreadful decomposed state, which would induce a belief that
he had been dead some time. The discovery was first made
by a lad, who was looking in the holly for bird's nests, when
he saw the body of a man suspended by the neck. The
Coroner, C. S. Swann, Esq., wes immediately made
acquainted with the circumstance, when an inquest
was held on the body, at the Fox and Crown, Holme Pier-
pont, at which the following evidence was adduced :•—•
Samuel Richmond, a lad of fourteen years of age, on
being sworn, deposed that he resides at Radcliffe, and
works for r. Joseph Burgess, at Holme Pierrepont. On
Friday witness was sent to the stackyard to fetch some rakes,
and in going there he went over the lawn, in front of Earl
Manvers' Hall, and saw a sparrow fly into the holly bush on
the lawn. Witness went to the bush, thinking there might
be a nest, when he saw the deceased hanging in the middle
of the bush. At first he thought deceased was "skulking."
Witness consequently shouted to a man in the road, and
asked him to come and see if there was not a man hanging.
The man came to his assistance, and they then discovered
that the deceased was suspended from a bought in the holly
bush by a handkerchief. He was quite dead. His toes and
one knee touched the ground. The man cut the deceased
down. His face appeared much swollen and dyblown, and
his bands were very black. He was dressed, except his hat,
which lay by the side of him. From the situation in which
he was discovered he could not have have been easily seen
by persons walking past the bush. Deceased was placed on
the lawn, after which witness went to his work. Other wit•
nesses were called, who stated that the deceased had ex-
hibited signs of mental derangemenr, when he was last seen
alive ; and it further appeared that he was a very drunken
character. Verdict, •"femporary insanity."
DEATH of SIB AUBREY DE VERB, BART.---On
Sunday evening, at four o'clock, at his residence, Curragh
Chase, county Limerick, this gentleman breathed his last.
Sir Aubrey de Vere was only son of the late Sir Vere Hunt,
who sat in the Irish Parliament, nephew of the late Earl of
Limerick, and le oher-in-law of Lord Blonteagle. His eldest '
son is Vere de Vere, Esq., late high sheriff of the county, and

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather
quiet. Sales 5,000 bales privately, and at auction of 3,300
bags South Sea Island only 930 bags found buyers, at 2d. to
la. per lb. decline.-Shares were firm generally.
The sale of railway shares by Messrs. Lamond and Co. was
well attended, and prices were without material alteration.

There is a ship arrival, bringing papers cf June 5, from
Pernambuco. The accounts from London per express reached
there on the 3d. The Legislative Chambers appear to have
fully concurred in the views of the Emperor's Government,
as to the nece.=sity of resisting our desires upon the slave
trade question.
The American ad vices are so fully given in another column,
that we need orpy remark that they have afforded consideri-
ble satisfaction. There had been some changes in the
Government at Montreal, but not of prominent importance.
We understand that another quick arrival of a cargo of
Pine apples, by the Lady Coiling, from the West Indies in
twenty-six days, has taken place, being a further proof of
the superior build of vessels that are employed in bringing
cargoes of a perishable nature to this country, which with
any wind of a favourable character compete even with
steam navigation.

it a firmer tone. Consols have been 953 A to 96 for Money,

THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY--ihe last fLo and
flower show of the Horticultural Society took place, in
their garden at Turnham-green, on Saturday. In addition to
the promenade in the grounds of the Society, the company
were permitted, by the kindness of his Grace the Duke of
Devonshire, to extend their perambulations through the
splendid walks and conservatories of the garden and park
of Chiswick House. The assemblage of persons of rank
and fashion was very numerous, including almost all the
rank and beauty of the families now in the metropolis. The
Duke of Devonshire received his Highness Ibrahim Pacha
in his grounds shortly after five o'clock ; the Egyptian
Prince was plainly attired, and came in a very private manner,
accompanied by only one member of his suit. He ap-
peared highly delighted with the gay scene around him,
and put many questions to the members of the council. A
splendid tent, in the oriental style, purposely manufactured
for the occasion by Mr. B. Edgington, of the Borough, was
erected in the gardens for the accommodation of the illustri-
ous visitor, and in it was arranged ottomans, &c., in the
eastern manner. The flowers, plants, and fruits were ar-
ranged beneath tents, sent from the same manufactory ;
they were extremely flue, and for the time of year unsur-
passable; the pines, in particular, were of the highest order
and the best cultivation. There were some extremely rare
plants from South America, an almost endless variety of roses
and Cape heaths, and, in short, a collection matchless for beauty
and rarity. Five military bands were in attendance,. The band
of the Ist Regiment of Life Guards, the band of the Horse
Guards, the band of the Coldstream Guards, the bands of the
Artillery, and the band of the Sappers and Miners. These
played alternately selections of music from the great masters;
two being placed in the gardens of the Duke of Devonshire,
and three in the gardens of the Society The arrangements
were altogether excellent, and it will be proper to commend
the activity and efficacy of the police, who performed their
somewhat arduous task with good temper and firmnessunited. The competition was a showy one, and it was with
some difficulty that the judges came to their conclusion as
to respective merits.
THE LATE CHIEF JUSTICE TINDAL.—The lamented
Lord Chief Justice Tindal was a na.tiv of Chelmsford, and
, however,
that town will ever feel an honest pride in havilig sent to the
judicial bench a man over whose sudden. demise all parties
" History
mourn, whose high and excellent. qualities, independence,
and integrity, all parties admit, and whose name and
authority will long be quoted and felt in British juris-
prudence. He was descended from Dr. Matthew Tindal, a
celebrated controversial writer of a former day, and from
the Rev. Nicolas Tindal, a man of literary reputation,
Essex, eoxf ,
Ra which,p
us
who was rector of Great Waltham in 1722, and who
wherogtaevae
up
portto
translation
of England." The father of Sir Nicolas, as above stated,
was a solicitor of this town, and the first seeds of that ripe
iounndoefrtaakehiastotrr)a'n
and ready scholarship which soon after won for him distinc-
tion at the University, were sown at the grammar-school
here, then under the mastership of the Rev. Thomas Naylor.
There are still living in this town and neighbourhood several
of his sehcolfellows, who speak of him as having, when a
youth, given indications of those quick parts and that
solid talent which afterwards marked his career, and en-
abled him to adorn the high office he so long filled.—Chelms-
ford Otronicle.
TEE POPE.—Dr. Wolff, in a letter to a friend, says—
"lt is curious that the present Pope, when
.only Conte
Ferretti, was my fellow pupil the Cgio
over
to Rome, from the year 1816 to 1817, when I went over
to the Propaganda. He is an amiable, zealous, ta-
lented, shrewd, pious, and liberal gentleman, and it is
therefore to be hoped that he has trausterred these
qualities from the simple Conte Ferretti to the throne
of Benedict IX." Thus goes the world ; one of two students,
on almost equal ground, becomes a " Sovereign Pontiff';" the
other, though filling the' world with his natne, is the humble
i
vicar of the small parish of Isle Brewers, n a retired part of
tills county, where, however, be has the sweet reward of
ministering to the spiritual wants of an attached congrega-
tion, anxious to be taufht.—Soseerset County Gazette.
