The Semaphore of Marseilles contains the following
intelligence from Algiers, dated the Ist inst.:-
"We have received by the Pharamond steamer an account
of a very serious engagement between our troops and the
Arabs, the particulars of which had not yet reached the
Algiers journals. That engagement had taken place between
the column of General Cavaignac and a large native force,
six leagues to the north-west of Tlemcen. General Ca-
vaignac had received in that town a sort of challenge, for-
warded to him by a new Kalifa, anxious to try his strength
with him. That Kalifa appointed for the General and his
column the day and place of the encounter. On the 23d of
March, the day fixed in the challenge, General Cavaignac
marched out with a corps of cavalry and his column to the
ground, where the enemy was drawn up awaiting his arrival.
The Arabs appeared to be upwards of 3,000 in number,
1,200 horsemen and 2,000 infantry. The engagement soon
commenced, and lasted two hours. The Arabs fought with
great determination, but, once broken, they took to flight,
leaving 200 killed on the field. We are said to have expe-
rienced some loss ; a chief of battalicn and several officers
were among the dead. It appears that Marshal Bugeaud
considered the affair as extremely important, since he imme-
diately dispatched an officer of the staff, Captain Pourcet, in
the Pharamond, with an account of the engagement to the
Minister of War. This intelligence was brought to Algiers
on the 31st, in the evening, by the packet Tartare, which left
Oran on the 29th."
The subjoined letter frompresden, dated April 2, ap-
pears in the Augsburg Gazette. The Chamber of Repre
sentatives in that capital cannot fail to cause great un-
easiness to the Germanic Confederation and the abso-
lute Sovereigns on the Continent, for it has been en-
gaged nearly for the whole of its sittings in advancing
the principles of Constitutional Government :-
" A few days ago the Fourth Committee of the Second
Chamber presented its report on the royal decree of August
26th, 1845, interdicting political associations and meetings.
The following is the language of the Committee The
Government regards the present Constitution as a work for
ever terminated, as the last term of perfection, beyond
which it is not allowable for the people to carry their views.
It is at least in this manner of regarding the matter that the
decree has been drawn up. Restrictions ought not to be op-
posed to the spirit of association, since it is a spirit which
has produced more great things than all the police regulations
in the world, and the apprehension that the right of meet-
ing may be abused by no means justifies its absolute inter-
diction-it can only recognise the necessity of legal measures
being adopted to prevent the evil. Other constitutional
states, and amongst them the German state of Baden, have
inscribed in their institutions the right of association as an
unalienable right, not acknowledging any other limits than
those of the law. That is what Saxony also desires. The
contrary enactments of the Germanic Confederation cannot
be appealed to in this question, since they apply to sedition,
high treason, and the overturning of established order. But
the loyal intentions of the Saxon people do not admit of any
doubt, and the present tranquillity renders all preventive
measures superfluous. The Committee is therefore of opinion
that the Chamber should invite the Government to present
to the Saxon Parliament a Bill to regulate the exercise of
their right of association.'"

ACCIDENT TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF
SAXE-COROURG, ONIHIS JOURNEY TO TOULON, MARCH 31.
MARSEILLES, APRIL 3.—The horses of the carriage, in which
the Prince was seated, in company with one of his Aides-de-
Camp, having taken fright at something on the road, started
off at full speed, and in the endeavour a of the coachman to
check them, the reins were broken. The Prince and his
friend then opened both the doors of the carriage, and jumped
out. His Royal Highness slightly bruised or sprained one of
his legs in his fall, but his friend alighting on the ground
without injury, was fortunate enough to get hold of the
horses' heads and stop them. His Royal Highness was so
little affected by his fall that he was not only enabled to com-
plete his :journey without inconvenience, but also to appear
the following evening at the theatre at Marseilles. Very
fortunately the Duchess was not in the same carriage as the
Prince. The amiable qualities of this illustrious and youth-
ful pair are the admiration of all who have had the honour
of being admitted to their personal acquaintance. Their
Royal Highnesses and suite embarked yesterday afternoon,
at a little after four, on board the Amsterdam, for the coasts
of Spain and Lisbon.
GAME -LAWS.—Garne, according to law, includes
hares, pheasants, and a few others ; but there is an old case
of a hackney-coach horse who died game, or, at all events,
carried out the gallant resolve of Macbeth, to " die with har-
ness on his back." No person can kill game without a certi-
ficate, which proves that he is an individual of "some mark ;"
but he is nevertheless often very wide of the mark on these
occasions. If the animals shot at were aware of this pro-
vision for their security, they would have the right to call
upon the sportsman to produce his certificate before proceed-
ing to make game of them. A certificate must be taken out
annually, and expires in July ; but if a hare were shot on
the last day of that month, and not to expire until August,
the certificate having expired before the hare, a vey nice
question would arise as to the legality of killing him. The
landlord who lets his land, usually reserves the right of kill-
ing the game, the tenant having the privilege of feeding it.
It has been said by Coke, that the landlord has all the best
of the game, which is, for the tenant, a very losing one. The
laws against poaching are very severe. and extend even to
protection of the eggs of birds of game ; so that poaching an
egg is highly criminal. The preserving of game is carried
to an extent that is often destructive to the tenant ; he is
not allowed to regard self-preservation as the first law of
nature, for game preservation is a paramount obligation.—
Punch's Political Dictionary.
SOCIETY OF APOTHECARIES. —On Wednesday the
following notice was issued from Apothecaries' Hall, 13lack-
friars, relative to Sir James Graham's recent Act with regard
to apothecaries :—" The Society of Apothecaries, antici-
pating the probability of a change in the laws which regu-
late the practice of physic and surgery in this country, were
unwilling, while the Medical Bill of the Secretary of State
for the Home Department was still before Parliament, to
have recourse to proceedings of a penal character for enforcing
an observance of the Act for better regulating, the practice
of Apothecaries throughout England and Wales. Sir James
Graham, however, having admitted that it is not his inten-
tion of re-introducing any similar measure for the present,
and it appearing that numerous individuals are entering upon
the practice of medicine who have given no evidence of their
possessing the requisite skill and ability for such practice, to
the serious risk of the public health, and to the disencou-
ragement of a zealous course of study on the part of medical
students, the Sooiety of Apothecaries deem it to be their duty
to give this public notice that they will use their utmost en-
deavours to secure to all classes the full benefit of the pro-
visions of the Apothecaries Act, and that, upon being fur-
nished with the names of individuals alleged to be practising
as apothecaries without having submitted themselves for
examination, and obtained the certificate of qualification re-
quired by law,

" ZRObILEY POISONING CASE.-011 Wednesday the
jury were re-assembled at the Swan and Mitre to pursue the
inquiry into the
death
of Harriet bionckton ; but, on the
arrival of the coroner, C. Carttar, Esq., and Mr. James, the
attorney
the
case,
employed by the inhabitants of Bromley to watch
it was deemed prudent to make a farther adjourn-
ment, for reasons which, if stated, might defeat the ends of
justice.
YARHAm
-- SINCE CONVICTION.--VSTiOU3 rumours are
current here as to certain coknfessions which Yarham is said
to have made since his condemnation; we have endeavoured
to ascertain the fact, and we believe that up to the time of
our writing this (Monday) nothing of the kind had transpired,
nor has, as is commonly believed, Mr. Tolver had an inter-
view with him. An error also prevails as to the arrival of
the warrant for his execution, which it is reported has been
received, and that it will take place en Saturday next. There
are not now any warrants for execution ; a calendar is filled
up by the clerk of assize with the sentences of all the pri
soners; this is sent to the sheriff, who, against those prisoners
with the word "death" added, takes the usual proceedings
to carry the law into effect. The sheriff also fixes the day or
execution, which is almost invariably the third market-day
after sentence, which, in- this instance, will be Saturday, the
18th instant.have.
not We have not heard whether the above is the
day fixed.—Yarmouth Chronicle.
JURYMEN FINED.—At the conclusion of one of the

diately required for other causes, Mr. Justice Coleridge
