Her MAJESTY'S Foreign Secretary had better, like
Lord BYRON at Missolongbi, " look around, and
choose his ground, and take his rest "—at once. His
Popularity can never survive the assaults of the Hon.
representative of Youghal. Mr. CHISHOLM ANSTEY is
blasting his reputation with the breath not of a petty
slander, but of a stupendous iippeachment. Lord
PALsixastoti is accused of no incidental fraud upon
the State—of no casual dereliction of duty—of no
temporary abatement of loyalty—of no intermittent
withdrawal from a patriotic policy—of no sudden
hallucination of judgment—of no excusable act of
peculation—of no isolated concession to the
enemies of his country. No. his assailant
deals in charges more heinous in charac-
ter, more gigantic in dimensions, more com-
prehensive in regard both to time, operation, and cir-
cumstance. The Noble Viscount, the Member for
Tiverton, is solemnly, and deliberately, and explicitly
impeached before Parliament as a traitor. llis whole
career is declared to have been a series of splendid
atrocities. The betrayal of his native land, the
jeopardising of the constitution, the territorial aug-
mentation of the dominions of the AUTOCRAT, the
imperilling of Europe,
and the gradual abandon-
ment of the provinces conductminogsttcohlelriinshdeodstaonb
objects
of described as having been the
of his ambition. Since 1830, if we are to
believe Mr. ANSTET, the course pursued by
Lord PALMERSTON has been such a 3 sub-
jects him to the execration of his fellow -citizens,
and renders him amenable to the laws fabricated forH
the expiation of the crime of high treason. 13
guilt is second only to that of another most execrable
and equally treasonous statesman—that statesman
being none other than the Right Hon. CIIARLES
JAMES Fox Nay, the Hon. Representative of
Youghal declared it to be his intention " to trace the
Noble Lord step by step, to enumerate the material
points of his policy, and to establish in every case
a violation on the part of the Noble Lord
of the laws of this country, of the laws of
nations, of the laws of nature, and of the
laws of Goo " That is the programme sketched
out yesterday evening by Mr. ANSTEY of his mon-
S stern motion in reference to our foreign relations.
jzii46arges are in no manner partial, or insinuative,

resO tion to prove the existence of a perfidious and
raitorous motive in several of the acts of the

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The prospectus of this establishment has just been
issued. The following are the most important parti-
culars :—The theatre will open for the season on
Tuesday, March 7, for the performance, it is stated,
" of operas of the most eminent composers, without
distinction of country." The company is powerful.
Besides Madame Grisi, Madame Persiani, Madame
Ronconi, Mdlles. Steffanoni and Cobari, who were
engaged last year, the list of principal soprani is
strengthened by three additions—Madame Castellan,
from her Majesty's Theatre ; Mdlle. Angiolina Zoja
who has acquired, considerable reputation in Italy;
and the celebrated Madame Pauline Viardot Garcia,
sister of Malibran. The only contralto announced
is Mdlle. Alboni, but she is a host in herself. The
tenors will comprise Signori Mario, Salvi, and other
favourites of last year, with Signor Luigi Mei, a new
importation from the Scala at Milan, and. M. Roger,
the well-known primo•tenore of the Opera Comique
in Paris. The bassi pro fandi will consist of Signor
Marini, a certain Signor Corradi Setti from the Scala
with Signors Taglialico and Polonini, highly capable
subordinates. Signors Tamburini and Roncon
will be among the barytunes, and Signor
Rovere continues to officiate as basso comico,
although it must be evident that his voice
i a decided barytune. For second tenors we are to
have Lavia and Soldi (another new acquisition), and
for seconds donna, the evergreen Madame Belini.
It is enough to say of the band and chorus, that they
will consist of the same performers as last year, with
some additional reinforcements; Mr. Costa, of course
remaining at the post which he fills so admirably. A
nilitary band under the direction of Mr. Godfrey, is
also announced. Besides the operas which were
most in vogue last season, the Cenerentola is to be
produced for Albona, the Favorita for Grisi,
Guillaume Tell for Castellan, La Figlia del Reggi-
rnento for Zoja, Haydee, ou, le Secret for Roger,
and the Huguenots and Fidelio for Viardot Garcia.
Auber and Meyerbeer are stated to he employed in
arranging their respective works to suit the exigen-
cies of the Italian stage. The Huguenots will (judi-
ciously) be considerably abridged. The ballet
arrangements may be shortly dismissed. Lucile
Grahn and Flora Fabbri are to be the principal
female dancers, supported by Mdlle. Wauthier,
Mdlle. Leopoldine Brussi, a new star from Vienna,
and a host of lesser lights. About the male dancers
we have nothing to remark. MM. Casati and
Appiani will be the ballet masters, and Mr. Alfred
Mellon the leader. For the scenery it suffices to
name Messrs. Grieve and Telbin.

OF LAW.

Mr. AGLIONBY moved that all petitions which
had been presented to the House, praying for inquiry
into the fees imposed upon the suitors of the High
Court of Chancery in England, in pursuance of the
powers contained in the Act 5 and 6 Vic., c. 103, be
referred to the Committee on Fees and Salaries in
Courts of Law and Equity.—Motion agreed to.
MASTERS IN CHANCERY.

Mr. AGLIONBY moved for a return, showing
the date of the appointment of each of the present
Masters in Ordinary in Chancery, with the annual
amount of each of their respective salaries, and when
paid ; also stating whether any and which of
such present Masters were under any and
what Act or Acts of Parliament entitled, upon
retirement, to any and what retiring pension ; and
also stating whether any and what masters in ordi-
nary have, since the year 1880, retired upon any and
what retiring pension, and for what periods the same
were respectively paid and received.
Motion agreed to.
NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.

Mr. OSBORNE said he understood the estimate
for the new Houses of Parliament was 1,400,0001.,
and he wished to ask the Noble Lord the First Com-
missioner of Woods and Forests, whether he had any
objection to lay upon the table of the House a detailed
account of the estimate; and also whether the Woods
and Forests were responsible for the amount?
Lord MORPETH replied that the Hon. Gentle-
man had correctly stated the amount of the estimate,
and he trusted the architect would be able to carry it
out.—(Hear, and laughter.)
Mr. OSBORNE said, after the answer just given
by the Noble Lord, and considering that they had a
deficient and sinking revenue, he was entitled
to put a question to the First Lord of the
Treasury, and he begged to ask if the Noble
Lord waa prepared to check this enormous

as specified in the estimate, should be spent upon the
building.
Lord J. RUSSELL could say no more than what
had already been stated by his Noble Friend, of
course he could mt undertake to be responsible for
the estimate of an architect.

Mr. OSBORNE said, then he would give notice
that on the earliest opportunity he could call the at-
tention of the House to the subject.
MR. C. ANSTEY'S MOTION.
Mr. HUME submitted to the Hon. Member for
Youghal whetter, considering that an important
debate on a national question had been adjourned to
that night, it was prudent in him to bring forward a
motion, containing forty articles, every one of which
would give rise to an ordinary day's debate, to the
interruption of the adjourned debate. He did not
shirkingmake this request with the view of the
questions likely to be raised by the Hon. Gentleman's
motion, because he was most anxious that they should
be debated, but he could not promise him a patient
hearing on that occasion, and seeing that the House

Fine Foreign Wheat moved off steadily ; other kinds

prices were with difficulty maintained. Flour, both

WESTMINSTER.

William Walton, a desperate-looking fellow, was
charged with stealing a quantity of lead pipe, and com-
mitting a series of most ferocious assaults upon the
police in the execution of their duty.
Between eleven and twelve o'clock on the preceding
night, James Buchanan, 280 A, discovered the pri-
soner crawling on his hands and knees in the yard of a
house in Palmer's-village, Westminster, and inquired
what he was doing there, when the prisoner replied, in
a sullen tone, " Nothing." The constable then took
him into custody, when he made a most desperate resis-
tance, and committed a serious of ferocious assaults upon
the police, until overpowered by numbers. The water-
pipe in tha yard where prisoner was discovered had been
torn down from the wall, and a portion of it was found
outside the yard.
Buchanan stated that he had no sooner brought the
prisoner out of the yard than the latter struck him two
violent blows in the face, and knocked him down. He
then kicked him most severely on the legs and body.

CANADA.

Toronto papers, to the 14th of October inclusive,
here been received.

The Toronto Globe, of the 14th of October, con-
tains an important document, giving the revenue of
the province for the last two years.
The revenue of the year ending July 5, 1848,
amounts to 556,7481., while that ending July 5,
1847, was 540,2991., showing an increase in favour of
1848 above 16,0001. The last quarter, viz., from April 5
toJuly 5, 1848, contrasts unfavourably with the same
quarter in 1847, as there is a deficiency in 1848 of
nearly 49,0001. The deficiency on the Customs
alone amounts to 38,0001. It will be observed, how-
ever, by a glance at the figures, that the July
quarter of 1847 was unprecedentedly large, being
213,000/., and that the last July quarter is the
largest in the two years excepting the parallel quarter
and the October quarter of 1847.
We understand that in the quarter ending 10th
October, the Customs of Toronto exceed those of
the same quarter in 1847 by 1751., and there is also
believed to be some increase at Hamilton. At
Montreal there is reason to fear a considerable fal-
ling off. There is some cause of hope that this will
be the last deficient quarter, as the imports from
the United States, which arrive chiefly during the
lnA quarter of the year, are expected to he con-
siderable.

SHEEP STEALING, AND PROMPT CAPTURE.—On
various occasions within the last fortnight, about fifteen
or sixteen sheep have been stolen from the farm of Mr.
Park, Birkhillside, parish of Legerwood, Berwickshire.
On Friday afternoon Serl.:eant Falconer, comity police,
Dalkeith, on obtaining information of the theft, disco-
vered that some of the sheep stolen on the evening of the
9th had been sold to a butcher there. Having obtained
a description of the person who sold them, who had
gone to Edinburgh, leaving his horse and cart at Gal-
lowshall Toll, the sergeant traced and apprehended him
th', same night.--Caledonian Mercury.

documents relating thereto. The Minister of Marine,
in reply to several interpellatioms, then read a sketch
of the system pursued in the ?ate naval engage-

expressed that a similar statement should be given
respecting the war by land, upon which the Minister
of War, Tscherning, declared himself ready to sub-

TO THE LADIEB.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Tines" news_
paper on Aug. 7, 1546. Reader, remember, this letter was put !Tato
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herber'', High-
;ate for the eftleacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair en her head, after using it abont four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
I- ever was before the baldness appeared.
Mrs. Weekiey inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an I le. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in aisund-
s.lice, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume its far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
'ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, als w
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the coral), mate it strong, aid
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drips on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and Hewers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour te■ or twelve drops
on the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
pamphlet of testimonials.

SHIP PROPELLING.

Yesterday Captain Carpenter, exhibited, at the
Polytechnic Institution, before Lord Auckland, Captain
Ellice, Mr. Lloyd, and Mr. Edye, of the Admiralty, a
model of his invention for obtaining increased power of
propulsion from the screw propellor, as applied to ships
of war. Instead of having one large screw in a central
position, Captain Carpenter places two smaller screws,
one on each side, near the stern of the vessel. Each of
these is connectel with a shaft attached to the engine,
running inside the vessel for about two-thirds of its
length, when it is passed through to the outside, and the
propellor is attached to it. The advantage obtained is a
capability of increased speed, from the more rapid revo-
lutions of the screws; while, from their being smaller,
they are less liable to break, and if one breaks the other
acts. Increased steadiness of motion is also attained,
while, when the vessel pitches, the action of the screws
is not so liable to be suspended. One advantage is ob-
tained, in the increased stowage room allowed in the
vessel, by displacing the central shaft. Captain Car-
penter calculates that, even in proportion to the
ordinary retwer, there is, by his invention, a slight
increase of speed; but his reliance is upon the oppor-
tunity afforded for vastly increased power without risk-
ing the breaking of the screw. What amount of speed
can be obtained it is at present difficult to ascertain;
but means are afforded by this invention, which in
theory at least, is an advance upon the old screw pro-
peller, for testing the resistance of fluids—an opportu-
nity which it is of importance not to lose sight of, even
in a scientific point of view. Another advantage at-
tained by this inventioa will be to obviate the disadvan-
tage now experienced in tacking a ves,e! when the screw
has been 'moved; but, on the other hand, it is worth
inquiring whether the more exposed position of the
screws may not prove a disadvantage in action. Cap-
tain Carpenter has already tested the value of his in•
vention on a small scale by applying it to the pinnace
of the Geyser, to the satisfaction of Lord Haddington
and Sir George Cockburn. The pretensions of his in-
vention are suffit iontly important to warrant a trial en
a larger scale, because there can be no doubt that such
an increased speed as he hopes (though his expectations
are modest) to atthin would be, if it could be accom-
pliThed, of inestimable importance to the steam navy of
this country. The screw chiefly employed by Captain
Carpenter is the flat screw presented by the late Mr.
Shorter, and his surviving partner, Mr. Taylor. The
curved screw, for which also a patent is out, does not
appear to present any perceptible advantages over The
flat one.
