because the tenant could not be assured that
he should enjoy an adequate return for the capital
expended, either in the length and certainty of his
tenure, or in the obtaining a fair compensation for
his outlay and labour on quitting his farm. We ex-
pressed our regret that it was not retrospective in its
nature, and that it allowed compensation only for im-
provements hereafter to be eff,:eted, hut that no allow-
ance was to be made for the improvementsof a similar
nature, which had already taken place ; we do not
conceive that there would be any extraordinary diffi-
culty in estimating the value of such improvements,
the time when they were made, and the allowance to
which the tenant should he entitled therefore—the same
machinery which is adopted for the other purposes
mentioned in the Bill would be amply sufficient for that
also. Had such a law been in operation, we should have
been spared the contemplation of the painful scene
which recently took place at Bird Hill, in the county
of Tipperary, where a tenant, who had expended his
entire capital in erecting a dwelling-house and other
buildings, to the amount of over 1,500/.,was turned, with
his family, on the wide world, for an arrear of rent
amounting to not more than one-sixth of the sum ex-
pended by him within a few short years, and which
arrear may be recovered from him by an action
for mesne rates, if he should have enough left to
gratify the cupidity of his landlord ; but if the mea-
sure should not be extended during the present ses-
sion, at least let it be carried into effect as it now
stands, and let the earliest and most serious considera-
tion of the Government be devoted to the subject, cn
which, of all others, the happiness and prosperity if
our sister kingdom is so dependent. The cultivation
of the waste lands—the providing of abundant em-
ployment for the surplus population by means thereof
—the creation of a sturdy and independent yeernanry
on the lands so reclaimed—the extension of the Ulster
tenant right, which has been found to act so well in
such parts of the country as it is in operation,
throughout the entire kingdom—are all of the most
serious importance, and afford a wide field for the
labours of the philanthropist and the statesman. Wt-
cannot hope for an immediate settlement of these
questions, but we trust that before the next session
the Government intentions with respect thereto wil
be fully matured and laid before the public for theil
approval. _

Accounts from Basle of the 10th state, that Austria
was concentrating troops on the frontiers of Switzer-
land, in order to watch the progress of events. Ot.
the 7th the Diet decided that a federal cam}
should be assembled this year as usual
The proposition was opposed by the partisans of thr
Jesuits, but their opposition was unavailing. The
Catholic body had again protested against the secu-
larisation of the convents of Argovia.

The Levant mail has arrived, bringing intelligence
from Syria, Constantinople, and Greece, to the 27ti,

the Lebanon was completely pacified. It was re-
ported at Constantinople that the Russians had sus•
tained some reverses in Daghestan. Greece still con
tinued infested with brigands. The K LNG and QUEEN had
been on a tour in the Peloponnessus. It was ex-

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
The accident on the Great Northern Riiiway stil
continues to be the chief topic of comment in them
The Moniteur makes the following official announce•

ment :
" We are happy to be able to announce that the aide-de-
camp of General Oudinot, whom we had counted among the
number of victims of the deplorable accident of which the
Northern Railway has been the theatre, has not sunk under
his wounds. There are, on the contrary, great hopes of his
recovery. Thus, the number of persons killed, includine
the two conducteurs, amount to 14. The latest accounts,
brought on Saturday evening by M. Frissard, divisionary
inspector, who visited the scene by order of the Minister of
Public Weeks, enable us to affirm that we shall not have to
announce and deplore any further deaths."
Notwithstanding this announcement, however, the
general belief in Paris was, that upwards of fifty per-
sons bad perished. The conducteur bourgeois states
that there were thirty-five persons in the waggot.
which was overturned into the morass. The
accident is said to have been occasioned by
the engineer suddenly shutting off the steam
and stopping the engine, when the impetus of
the carriages behind forced the middle carriages ofi
the rails. The official report of M. FRISSARD com-
pletely confirms the report addressed to the Company
by the Sub-Inspector. The KING of the FRENCH,
on hearing of the accident, immediately dispatched
his aide-de-camp, General HUMIGNY, to the spot.
The Tapers and the Tadpoles of the French Oppo-
sition are sadly in want of a " good cry" on which
to go to the people at the next election. The
" Pritchard indemnity" cry is felt to be somewhat
stale, yet it is the best they have; so that there car,
be little doubt but that the Ministry will hays
as large a majority in the next Chamber as they had
in the late one :
The trial of Dr. CONNEAU and CHARLES TUELIN,
for aiding and abetting in the escape of Prince Louis
NAPOLEON ; and of M. DEMARLE, commandant of
the fortress of Ham, and two keepers, for neglect of
duty ; has just taken place before the Correctional
Tribunal of Peronne. The proceedings lasted three
days. The only evidence that presents the slightest
interest is the following
" Dr. Conneau, one of the prisoners, deposed that he had
been connected with the family of Prince Louis Napoleon
since 1820, having been for about nine months secretary to
his father. He afterwards went to Florence and Rome, and
finished his medical studies there. He practised at lome
for three years, and was at last obliged to quit that city, for
having, in 1830, given an asylum to two of 'lie friends, when
sought fur by the police; and fur having, in 1831, dressed the
wound of another friend, who had been hurt in a disturbance
at Rome. Witness after that joined the Prince at .Aremberg,
and remained there until the death of Queen Hortense, wbo
iu dying laid an injunction on him to remain always with her
son. When the Prince was ordered to be coafined at Ham,
witness obtained permission to remain with him, and was
allowed to go out and in as he pleased. Witness considered.
himself to have been kindly treated by the Government in
being thus permitted to remain with the Prince on such
favourable conditions, and looked on himself as under obliga-
tions to it, but not to such an extent as to be obliged to
betray to it the intentions of the Prince. In October last, M.
Poggieli, a lawyer, came from Florence, with letters from
M.M. Montalivet, Decazes, and Mole, praying them to exert
themselves to obtain the Prince's pardon, but their endea-
vours were without result. In November the Prince wrote
to the Minister of the Interior to obtain a temporary liberty
to see his father, but his proposition was not accepted. He
also wrote to the King, which letter was published in the
journals. In the month of May the Prince, finding all his
efforts of no avail, determined to attempt an escape. The
Prince's health was at this time indifferent, and witness had
applied for the favour of having him removed to some
mineral bathing place. This course had been pre-
scribed by Drs.llarjolin, Larrey, and Lacroix. This ap-
piication was also replied to in the negative.. He learned,
also, at the same time, from Loid Londonderry, who
had exerted himself to procure his liberation, that he
saw no hope of succeeding. The Prince determined to avail
himself of the occasion of workmen being in the fortress to
attempt his evasion. He accordingly provided the clothes in
which he afterwards escaped, and watched his opportunity.
On May 25th. the Prince disguised himself about half-past
six, cut off his moustaches, dyed his whiskers black, and put
on a black wig. Thelin gave a glass of brandy to one of the
workmen, and witness watched who passed in the corridor.
The Prince then left the room, and witness did not see him
afterwards. Witness desired, if possible, to conceal the
better b sndladtuthrbat that,
if
the In
escape for 24 hours, and for that purpose informed the
keeper when he called that the Prince was ill. When the
commandant called, about nine o'clock, witness, who was on
the watch,atter came ftoierr,ea3rsdingto,
intewetw, not ehi and
to
Prince, &she was ill. The commandant withdrew, and called
again at half-past twelve. Witness told him that the Pelf ce
slept, and the other went away, though reluctantly, pi; the'
evening he called again, and insisted on seeing the Prince,
and witness took him into the inner room. the Prince's bed-
chamber. Witness bad placed a figure in the bed, and going
up to it, spoke as if to the Prince; receiving, of course, no
answer. He came back to the commandant, and made a
sign to him that the patient was asleep. The commandant
said, He cannot remain all day asleep. I shall wait until
he wakes.' He then sat down, looking at thi bed, and a
little after exclaimed, Ah! he is about to awake; he stirs!'
The commandant then listened, and not hearing any breath-
ing, he went over to the bed, and discovered the deceit. He
at once turned toward witness, and said, 'The Prince is gone!
At what o'clock ?' Witness replied, 'At seven this morning.'
Who was on guard ?' Witness replied, I do not know.
And nothing more passed between them.
_ _

Commandant liemule declared that he had been at first
deceived by the assertion of Dr. Conneau that the Prince was
ill, and peat by the cloclitativit 91 the tniTitht appointed to

make up the rooms in the Prince's apartment, who said to
him—'The Prince is nothing better, he is in the sitting-
room.' Witness thought the man had just seen him. It
was only towards evening, when Thelin did not return,
that he began to suspect that all was not right. Witness
then called the man just alluded to, and on interrogating
him, finding that he had not seen the Prince since the morn-
ing, he determined to go again to the Prince's room. He
then discovered the evasion. 11' itness, in the course of his
interrogatory, declared that he believed the keepers to be
perfectly free from all knowledge or participation in what had
taken place.
" The Court, after hearing evidence for the several pri-
soners, condemned Dr. Conneau to three months' imprison-
ment, and acquitted all the rest.
" Thelin, the Prince's valet-de-chamhre, being absent, was
condemned, by default, to six months' imprisonment.
Count MONTHOLON was set at liberty on the 10th
instant by a Royal order.

ARRIVAL

THE CALEDONIA.

EXPRESS FRO3I LIVERPOOL,

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY MORNING, Six O'CLOCK.
The British and North American Royal Mail steam-
.hip, Captain Lou, arrives here last night, about half-
past eleven o'clock. She sailed from Boston on the Ist
inst., and Halifax on the 3d, making the passage, in-
cluding her call and stay at Halifax, in about twelve
days and a half. The Caledonia had 102 passengers
aid the semi-monthly mails from Canada and the United
States. The Britannia arrived at Halifax on the 2d inst.
3y this arrival we have received New York papers
)f the 30th ult., being five days later than those brought
,ver by the Great Western. We have also received
gew Orleans, Charleston, Philadelphia, Washington,
Ind Boston papers to the latest dates, as well as files
from several parts of Canada, and other ports of the
British American provinces. The news in the United
States papers, although it cannot be styled important,
is on the whole of an interesting character, having spe-
°dal reference to the " American tariff," the Mexican
war, affairs in Mexico, business prospects, &c.
With regard to the tariff, we are informed by the
papers just come to hand that the debate thereon was to
be ended on the 2d inst. It seems that the fate of that
avasure is universally anticipated, as the public has
made up its mind to reduce the tariff In the
event of the House acceding to the "free-
trade " views of Mr. Secretary Walker, it is
expected that Mr. Webster will propose a compromise
in the Senate, and that his plan will finally pass both
Houses of Congress without any serious or determined
opposition.
There is not any news of a definite character from the
=eat of War. Advices have been received from Matam ores
tp to the 12th ult. In our summary of the news by the
Great Western, we mentioned that General Taylor was on
his way to Reinoso, in Now Leon. The ad vices come to
hand by the Caledonia infirm us that the inhabitants
of that town had surrendered without resistance, and
.that the authorities of Camargo had sent a deputation to
General Taylor, offering him full possession of that place.
The facts have been blaz ined forth in all the New York
papers with an air of importance quite beyond
.heir merits. To talk and write of such
brilliant achievements" as have been performed
by the " army of occupation" is too bad.
Paredes was collecting his forces at a mountain
pass near Monterey, where, if anywhere, he will
interrupt the march of the United States army. The
western expedition into New Mexico was expected to
cake up its march from the Missouri between the 15th
and 20th of June. Some of the leading New York
iournals appear tired of the war, and would
gladly have it ended. The United States Go-
vernment are ready to receive any overtures
that may be made by Mexico for arranging their dif-
rereaces by other means, instead of murderous swords
and bayonets, and the destructive volleys of great and

Mil all guns; notwithstanding the American Govern-
ment are active and energetic in their preparations for
prosecuting the war, should it be necessary to do
,o. Arms and ammunition, with a number of artille-
rymen, had been dispatched to the Pacific, and
would be stationed either at Monterey or the Bay of
San Francisco. It was reported both at Washington
and New York, previous to the sailing of the Caledonia,
that Mr. Ml'Duff►e, the newly-appointed Chairman of the
C9mmittee on Foreign Affairs, was preparing the basis
,)f an arrangement for the adjustment of the difficulties
with Mexico, and it was confidently expected that he
would submit his plan to the President and the Senate
before July 4.
The news from Mexico extend to the commencement

f June. It was thought Paredes would have 16,000 men
in the field against the forces of General Taylor. He
vas to take the command in person. General Mejja has
superseded Arista. General Alvarez has possession of
the city of Acapulca, on the Pacific, where he has raised
the standard of "Federation," within 300 miles of the
capital. Yucutan has formally declared its independ-
,nce under President Barbachano. Tampico. has de-
Hared in favour of the federative principle but is
divided on the question of the Presidency, General
Anastasio Parrodi being in favour of Santa Anna. The
:erthern departments of Tamaulipas, Chihuahua, and
Zacetecas, and wo believe New Leon, Coahuila, San
Louis Potosi, New Mexico, Santa Fe, Sonora and Cali-
,'ernia, or the whole of Mexico above the 24th parallel of
iorth latitude, propose to organize a separate re-
oublic, under the protection of the American army
ercparatery to annexation to the United States
Yucutan also desires to come into the confederacy
if sovereign and independent States. The most ex-
traordinary enthusiasm seems to prevail among a large
part of the Mexican people, the Yucatecos particularly,
in favour of annexation. It is remarkable that people,
elho have had so little intercourse with the Northern
Republic,—who have been, as it were, shut out from the
Americans, should thus voluntarily seek admission to
the great confederacy. It is an act of homage
to the federative principle of Government, which
ought to make a lasting impression upon all
civilised nations. Nor is it less remarkable
than the views lately broached in the British Parliament
by Lord Bentinck, who proposed to amend the British
constitution, by incorporating the colonies as integral
portions of the empire, or as states having their own
domestic legislatures, establishing a federative monarchy
to which neighbouring commonwealths and nations
would naturally annex themselves. Thus the superior
races on the Eastern Hemisphere and their descendants
on the Western might become the conservators of peace
and good government throughout the world.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton-market at Liverpool yesterday was steady.
Sales, 6,000 bales, 500 being for export and 1,500 on specu-
tion. The finer descriptions were scarcest. Shares were ' •
rather drooping.
Perhaps no visit made by Ibrahim Pacha will tend more
to advance the mercantile intercourse between this country
and Egypt than that of Saturday, when not only the Iloyal ,
Exchange, but Lloyd's Coffee and thelerwriting-house
were honoured by the presence of the intelligent
individual just named. Mr. G. R. Robinson, the
Chairman of Lloyd's, had, through the inter-
preter of the Pacha, very many questions put to
him respecting the mode in which the business of this vast
establishment was conducted, and we are told that the
Egyptian Prince was astonished at the ready manner in
which lints of from 1,0001. to 5,000/. or more were taken upon
a sea risk. From what fell from the Paths, there
is no doubt but that vast improvements are in-
tended in conducting the Custom-house arrangements of
the ports of Egypt, and also that as far as possible every en-
couren,,ernent will be given to promote the commerce between
the two countries.
There has been pretty general satisfaction expressed at the
course which Lord John Russell has announced it as being
his intention to pursue upon the subject of the sugar duties,
as by providing for a short continuance of the present duty,
and yet announcing his plan for the future, the injurious
consequence of a sudden el tinge will be averted, and at the
same time, uncertainty will be remove,'.
It appears from au official return, that the number of
ships employed in the timber trade with the North Ameri-
can colonies, was, in 1841, 1,643, of 681,147 tons, and etn-
pl,Niog 22,834 men. In 1845, the numbers wele 2,086 ships,
771,370 tons, and `29,191 men. This shows therefore a grati-
fying increas.
The progress of fiscal reform has necessitated the production
of another "Customs Book of Rates," which from its extremely
compact size, and, above all its correctness, when so many
loosely collated tables are being brought out, will be parti-
cularly acceptable to those engaged in mercantile pursuits.
Mr. Hume, in a communication upon the !subject of the
tariff a year or two ago, very appropriately remarked,
that our tariff had indeed been brought into a small compass,
but that he expected to see it half the size yet. How com-
pletely verified are that gentleman's opinions, let any one
look at the last tables, and judge for himself.
The English Securities have been quiet again to-
day, and a trifle in favour of buyers, the Ac.-
count to be settled next Friday being the
main influencing cause.. Consols have realised 933/4 to

Bills have been at lls. to los. premium, The New Tire.-
and-a. Quarter rer Cents. have realised 97% to

The Foreign Securities have been very inactive, we may
say, totally neglected. Spanish Five per Cents. are 24%
Dutch Two•-andea-Half per Cents. are 593 i.

FEARFUL ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE FALCON.—At
half-past ten o'clock on Sunday night, as the Falcon steamer
heavily laden with passengers fore and aft, passed from
under the centre arch of Blackfriars-bridge, on her return
from Gravesend, her half chimney, which the men were
raising after she had passed the bridge, gave way with a
great crash. Fortunately, however, it retained its horizontal
position for a minute before it fell with another crash, over
the side of the vessel. The scene consequent upon the first
crash was truly frightful; men, women, and children rushed,
amidst the most fiightful screams, to either end of the vessel,
while numbers were knocked down by the first rush. The
chimney hanging over and threatenirg them with instant
death—the darkness of the night added not a little to the
terrors of the scene. A few ladies fainted, and others had
their dresses somewhat tarnished by the soot and smoke,
which we are happy to say constituted the result of an
accident which threatened 'wild consequences. The acci-
dent arose from the hinges of the chimney giving way.
COMMERCIAL VALUE OF INSECTS.— he imp mtance
of insects, cornittercially speaking, is scarcely ever thought
of. Great Britain does not pay less than a million of dollars
annually for the dried eareaSeaof the tidy insect, the cochi-
neal ; and another Indian insect, guru shellac, is scarcely less
valuable. More than a million and a half of human beings
derive their vela support from the culture and manufacture
of silk; and the silkworm alone creates an annual circulat-
ing medium of nearly two hundred millions of dollars. Half
a million of dollars is annually spent in England alone for
foreign honey; at least 10,000 cwt. of wax is imported into
that country every year. Tbva there are the gall-nuts of
ciamnierce, Used for dyeing and 111111ing ink, &c.; while the
cantharides, or Spanish fiv, is an aiii.?!.ate ludispeualble in
materia inedica.—Boston Transcript.
EL.:PERIENT OF A YOUNG ENGLISH LADY OF T. "I
FROU BOULOGUE.—The Paris police was very busy at tbj
latter end of the week, endeavouring to disc .ver a young
couple who had left Boulogne two days before. The youi.g-
lady, who is a minor, and very beautiful, belongs to a family
-
of rank,—the lover is a French nobleman of fatune. They I
have been very closely followed by the two brothers of the
young lady, but hitherto it has been impossible to discover
them, although it is pretty well ascertained that they are in
or near Paris. They are precluded by the enactments of the
French law from bein4 legally married witliciu; the con ~t
of their friends, and the young lady being under age Tli.eL
gentleman is amenable 0 criminal law. A warrant. 7aa3 been
