THE FRENCH REPUBLIC..

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Moniteur publishes a decree, appointing Gene-
ral PELISUER Governor-General ad interim of Al-
geria, in the place of General D'HAurroun, whose
mission has toriainated. This is a cool way of
getting rid of a Lunn who has ceased to be useful. The
fate of General D'lTauTrouL will not increase the
ardour of the supporters of M. Louis NAPOLEON
BONAPARTE.
The partisans of the Elyse& are evidently alarmed
et` the blunt manner in which Dr. VnaoN in the
Constitutionnel occasionally blurts out the truth. The
Moniteur du Soir has the following paragraph on the
article from the Constitutionnel which we published
yesterday, and which has aroused the ire of the Legi-
timatists and Orleanists.

" Every one knows that M. Veron directs his jour-
nal according to his own fancy, and at present in no
way expresses the ides of the Government. Why,
therefore, does the Opposition persist in rendering the
ministers and the President of the Repnbli.: retipao.alo
for the eccentricities of the Constitutionnel."
The gunmakers at Liege, who have recently suf-
fered much from want of employment, are about to
b 3 actively engaged, in consequence of orders from
foreign powers, One house alone has received an
order to make 50;000 muskets for the Russian Go-
vernment.
The last of the Paris races took place in the Champ
de Mars yesterday. Just before the hour fixed for
the commencement of business, there was a heavy
fall of rain, which deterred a vast number of persons
from attending; but, as the weather became fine af-
terwards, a considerable crowd gradually assembled,
and before the races were over nearly the whole of the
course was lined with spectators. Within the ropes
there was a tolerable show of carriages, though it was
not equal to what is witnessed on more favourable
occasions. The stands were about two-thirds full,
but there were very few ladies in them. The mem-
bers of the Jockey Club and other sporting charac-
ters, as usual, mustered in full force.
M. DE FALLOUX appeared in the /V,sernbly on
Saturday.
The Bourse was gloomy, and a decided tendency to
a fall in prices was manifested.
The Five plir Cents. opensd at 90f. 60c., rose to
90f. 750., but fell subsequently to 901. 30c., at
which price they closed. The Three per Cents.
closed at 56f.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY

(Sittings in Banco.)
lOLA V. DAW.
The Court gave judgment in this case, which was an
action to try a right of way, in favour of the defendant.

THE CASE OF MR. BARBER.
Lord CAMPBELL intimated that the Court would defer
giving judgmeLt in this case until next term, in order to
have time to look anxiously into all the affidavits, and see
whether it was fit to grant a rule to show cause.

'XCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
THE DUNE OP BUCKINGHAM AND CIANDOS V. THE COM

MISSIONERS OF INLAND REVINUE.
The LORD CHIEF BARON delivered judgment in this case,
which came before the Court on an appeal under the Stamp Act,
against the decision of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue,
who had required thst a stamp to the value of 1,000/. should
be placed on a deed of settlement made between the Duke of
Buckingham and Chandos and other parties, and bearing
date the 27th of May, 1847. This deed was in substance a
conveyance during the Duke's lifetime of his interest in cer-
tain large estates, subject to certain mortgages, an-
nuities, and other charges, for the purpose of rais-
ing the sum of 1,600,0001. The Commissioners were
of opinion, though no sum was mentioned in the
deed, yet that it ought to be stamped with an ad valorem
stamp. The Court were now of opinion that the deter-
mination of the Commissioners was wrong. It was a well-
established rule in the construction of revenue Acts, that a
duty could not be imposed except by the clear and express
words of the statute, and the Court considered that the terms
of this particular Act of Parliament did not bear out the
construction which the Commissioners had placed on them.
There was no purchase or consideration money expressed in
the deed, and the transaction could not be treated as a sale.
The Court were satisfied that the Crown had not made out a
right to charge an ad valorem duty on the deed, and there-
fore judgment must be for the appellant.
Judgment for the appellant accordingly.

TB! VAUXHALL-BRIDGE COMPANY V. SAWYER.—JUDGMENT.
The LORD CHIEF BARON yesterday delivered the judgment
of the Court in this cese, which was a special case directed
for the opinion of their Lord hips by an order of Mr. Baron
Alderson. The question to he eeternoined upon the state of
facts set out in the raze was, whether the Vauxhall-bridge
Company were liable to be rated to the land-tax in respect
of the tolls which they collected on their bridge. It appeared
that the company were incorporated under the Act of the
49th George 111., c. 142, which gave them the power to pur-
chase land and to form the approaches to the bridge, and to
take tolls for passengers and goods traffic. The Court were
of opinion, however, that the first section of the second Act
expressly showed an intention on the part of the Legislature
that this deE.eription of property should be subject to the tax,
and the company must be held liable to pay it in respect of
the tolls they collected, as coining under the denomination of
an " heredit ament."
Judgment for the defendant accordingly.

THE PILLARS OF SAND.

" A trop cal sun glances up from the brilliant surfece,
and we are almost blinded by the refracted rays. Tlle
wind blows more lightly; and clouds of dust load the
air, sweeping slowly along!
" We push forward without guide or any object to in-
dicate our course. We are soon in tie midst of be-
wilderment. A scene of seeming encaantment springs
up around us. Vast towers of sand, borne up by the
whirl-blast, rise vertically to the sky. They move to
and fro ov(r the plain. They are yellow and luminous.
Tha sun glistens among their floating crystals. They
move slowly, but they are approaching us!
" I behold them with feelings of awe. I have heard
of travellers lifted in their whirling vortex, and dashed
back again from fearful heights!
" The pack mule, frightened at the phenomenon,
breaks the lasso, and scampers away among the ridges.
G 024 has galloped in pursuit. lam alone.
" Nine or ten gigantic columns now appear, and stalk
over the plain, circling gradually around me! There is
something unearthly in the appearance. They resemble
creatures of a phantom world. They seem endowed with
demon life!

" Two of them approach each other. There is a short
gusty struigle, that ends in their mutual destruction.
The sand is precipitated to the earth; and the dust floats
off in dim shapeless masses.
" Several have shut me within a space, and are slowly
closing. My dog howls and barks. My horse cowers
with affright, and shivers between my thighs, uttering
terrified expressions!
"I am irresolute. I sit in my saddle waiting the re-
sult, with an indescribable feeling. My ears are filled
with a buzzing sound, like the hum of machinery. My
eyes distort the natural hues into a fiery brightness.
My brain reels. Strange objects appear. The fever is
upon me!
" The laden currents clash in their wild torsion. lam
twisted round, and torn from my saddle—my eyes,
mouth, ears, are filled with dust. Sand, stones, and
branches strike me spitefully in the face; and I am flung
with violence to the earth!"

As really admirable examples of Captain Reid's skill
in sketching off the more remarkable specimens of
humanity discoverable in Northern Mexico, take these
three miniature daguerreotypes :

The supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market
was tolerably extensive as to number, but its general
quality was inferior. From our own grazing district*
toe receipts of Beasts fresh up this morning was mode-
rately good; but at least two-thirds of them were much
out of condition. The attendance of both town and
c ,uniry buy era being large, the Beef trade ruled stead/
at an advance in the quotations obtained on Monday last
of 2d per 81bs, and a clearance was effected without dif•
ficulty. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Esex, and
Cambridgeshire amounted to 1,600 Scots, Runts, Short-
horns, &c.; from other parts of England, 700 Here-
fords, Runts, Devons, Scots, &c.; and, from Scotland
150 horned and pulled Scots. The remainder
of the supply was chiefly derived from abroad.
We were again seasonably well supplied with Sheep, all
breeds of which met a very slow inquiry; but we have
no actual fall to notices in their value. The primest
old Downs sold at from 3s 8d to 3a 10d per 81bs. Lambs
—the which was large—moved off heavily, at
adeclittlieppilny of
last week's quotations of 2d per Bibd, the
highest figure for Down qualities being 4s 10d per 8110.
There was a fair average business doing in Calves, as
late currencies; but Pigs commanded very little at-.
tention.

THE

PASSENGERS' BAGGAGE FROM THE

CONTINENT.

The following petition to the fiouse of Ginmons
signed by the most ialuentitzl htuking end commercial
houses in Loitdon, and there is every reason to belltve
that the adoption of its suggestions would materitllly
facilitate, aria consequently increase, the traffic between.
this country and the continent:—

TO THE HONOURABLE TIIE COMMONS OF THE UNITED
ILINGDOK OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, IN
PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED.
The bumble Petition of the undersigned Merchants,
Bankers, and others of the city of London,
Showeth,—

That passengers arriving from the continent are in-
conveniently delayed at Dover and Folkestone, and un-
able to proceed to London until their baggage is exa-
mined at those places.
That such inconvenience would be removed if the
examination were to take place in London.
That like facility is afforded by the French Govern-
ment to persons going trom this country to Paris.
whose baggage is not examined until their arrival in
Paris.

That your petitioners are informed that the South-
Eastern Railway Company are willing to provide at the
London terminus of that railway better accommodation
for the purpose of such examination of baggage there
than now exists either at Dover or Folkestune.,
Your petitioners, therefore, most humbly pray your
most Honourable House that your Honourable House will
be pleased to pssa such resolution as will warrant the
LA.Lis Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury to au-
thorise the necessary arrangements for examiug in Lon-
don the baggage of persons travelling there instead of
detaining them for the purpose at Doter or Folkestone,
whereby your petitioners believe that a saving of one to
two hours of time will be insured to passengers from
Marseilles and Paris and the Continent generally to
London.
And your petitioners will ever pray, &c.

THE MARKET CRIES OF SANTA FE.

" The tortillera, kneeling by her vetate, bruises the
boiled maize, claps it into thin cakes, flings it ou the

vites her customers by the expressions. Chile bueno! ex-
cellente !" Carbon! carbon!' cries the charcoat.burner.

THE DELAWARE INDIAN.

" Most of them wore hunting shirts, not made of deer
skin—like those of the whites—but of calico, printed in
bright patterns. This dress, handsomely fashioned and
fringed, under the accoutrements of the Indian warrior,
presented a striking appearance. But that which chiefly
distinguished the costumes of both the Delaware and
Shawans, from that of their white allies, was the head-
dress. This was, in fact, a turban, formed by binding
the head with a scarf or kerchief of a brilliant colour—
such as may be seen in the dark creoles of Hayti. In
the group before me no two of these turbans were alike,
yet they were all of a similar character. The finest
were those made by the the quered kerchiefs of Madras.
Plumes surmounted them, of coloured feathers, from the
wing of the war eagle, or the blue plumage of the
gruya.
" For the rest of their costume they wore deerskin
leggings and moccasons, nearly similar to those of the
trappers. The leggings of some wore ornamented with
scalp locks along the outer seam, exhibiting a dark his-
tory of the wearer's prowess. I noticed that their mix:-
casons were peculiar, differing altogether from those
worn by.the Indians of the prairies. They were seamed
up the fronts, without braiding or ornament, and ga-
thered into a double row of plaits.
" The arms and equipments of these warrior men
were like those of the white hunters. They hare long
since discarded the bow; and, in the management of the
rifle, most of them can ' draw a bead,' and hit ' plum
centre,' with any of their mountain associates. In ad.
dition to the firelock and knife, I noticed that they still
carried the ancient, weapon of their race—the fearful
tomahawk."
Another characteristic, and unquestionably the most
extraordinary of all, by which Captain Mayne Reid
has already rendered himself conspicuous among our
writers of imagination, is that of a most fruitful,
we might almost say, inexhaustible invention—itaven.
tion, we mean, in regard to plot and incident.
Throughout the " Scalp-HuntErs the plot is per.
petually rising up to a climax, while its incidents are
mostly of a nature so marvellous in their horror 83
to keep the reader in breathless suspense until
their termination. Of this a single extract will be the
most conclusive demonstration. Read, therefore, the
brief chapter here given, descriptive of

GERMAN Y.

The Senate of Hamburg has placed severe and
almost prohibitive restrictions on the transport of
emigrants by the agents of British shipowners. The
Senate has also requested the Prussian Government
to adopt similar restrictive and hostile measures, and
it is stated that the city of Breme❑ proposes to follow
up the example set by the city of Hamburg. Our cor-
respondent laments that the British Consul and Vice-
Consul at Hamburg should have allowed these mea-
sures to pass without the most strenuous opposition.

Sir %V. SOMERVILLE said he entertained no hope
of passing this Bill as it now stood, at least during the
present session. As far as the Bill had gone, however,
it had met with the approval of the House, and ho was
anxious to carry the measure through, so far as the dis-
pensing clauses were concerned. He trusted, therefore,
the opposition would be withdrawn, and then tho Bill
might be so altered that it should have reference to dis-
pensaries only.
Mr. HAMILTON fully concurred in the course pro-
posed by the Right Hon. Gentleman, and he sincerely
hoped the opposition would be continued no further.
Mr. SCULLY regretted that the Bill was to be so
narrowed, but in the present state of affairs there was no
help for it. He trusted, however, that at the earliest
possible opportunity next session the subject would be
renewed, and a large and comprehensive measure brought
forward. _ _

Colonel DUNNE was quite content that the measure
should pass us a Dispensary Bill.
Mr. S. CRAWFORD also added his meed of appro.
bation the course suggested by tho Right Hon.
Gentleman.

After a short conversation on a matter of detail, the

THE ECLIPSE.

The morning has been cloudy since sunrise, that
it has been impossible to catch a glimpse of the sun. It
would seem as though old Sol had kept in all day, in
dudgeon, determined not to exhibit himself for the mere
purpose of being eclipsed. At a quarter to one we were
threatened with a storm, and a few large d-ops of rain
fell for about five minutes; the rain, however, ceased,
but the atmosphere still continued overcast. At two
o'clock a drizzling rain commenced falling. Although
it has been impossible, on account of the cloudy state of
the weather, to catch a glimpse of the sun himself, yet
the diminution of light caused by his obscuration is, at
the time we write (three o'clock), very perceptible.

GERMANY.

A letter from Berlin mentions a report that the
Prussian Government does not intend to persist in
demanding that the province of Prussia and Posen
shall cease to form part of the Germanic Confedera-
tion.

The Wurtemburg journals contradict the report
given by the Allgemeine Zeitung of the sitting of the
Chamber of Representatives, and declare that neither
Wurtembng nor Bavaria has had an intention of de-
nouncing the treaty of the Zoliverein. The Minister
Vox KNAPP confined himself to the following re-
marks :-1. That before the term of the expiration of
the treaty (December, 1852) there would probably
be no other conference of the Members of the German
Customs' Union. 2. That it was very probable if a
denunciation was made in some quarters, negotiations
would be:commenced for revising the treaty ; and
that, finally, in that case the Government of Wur-
temburg would, as in times past, be in favour of a
modification of the tariff in a protectionist point of
view.

DR. LIN GA RD.

It was a good custom of chivalrous days, and it is still
observed by brave men who fight under respectively hos-
tile banners, to do honour to an adversary who had dealt
his blows as became an honest man. In the hour of victory,
the triumphant champion complimented the vanquished
on his valour. In the hour of death, the survivors
did full justice to the enemy whose arm could no
longer wield a trenchant blade. Wo adopt with
alacrity this example set us by belted knights and gal-
lant soldiers, while we announce with regret the demise
of one who, for being a servant of the Pope, was not the
less true hearted an Englishman; and who, in support-
ing a cause which ho considered worthy of support,
never stooped to mendacity in order to strengthen it.
Whatever his opinions may have been, he maintained
them with the spirit of a Christian gentleman. He
neither stooped to recommend violence by faintly dis-
praising it, nor instigated to the assassination of those
in high places by denouncing them as enemies of GA
and of his alleged vicar upon earth. If he felt strongly,
he also felt, spoke, and act fairly. His very impartiality,
perhaps, was the cause of the little honour paid him by
his merely political co-religionists. But, be this as
it may, his name and reputation belong now to
all Englishmen in common. We should as little
think now, even in our character of Churchmen, of de-
ncuncing the late Dr. Lingard for his particular opinions,
as we should, in our position as Royalists, of casting dirt
upon Milton for his Republicanism. Over the grave of a
worthy antagonist we have no desire to hold in me-
mory anything but his virtues. If all living Papists,
who survive to carry on the warfare of the Court
of Rome against the Queen and our Church, were to
follow the example bequeathed to them by Dr. Lingard,
there would be more respect for them than they can now
lay claim to. He cared for no boon but that which the
British constitution, jealous for the healthy freedom of
all, willingly awarded. To obtain more lie would not
have descended to suggest to the ear of fanaticism
that there were 'Mlle crimes in the world th'n the

ITALY.

The Paris Univers quotes a letter from Rome of
the 20th, stating that a serious misunderstanding has
arisen between the French and the Papal authorities
at Rome, under the following circumstances :—At
the time the French occupied Rome, they took pos-
session of the offices of the Inquisition, and lodged
some companies there. Some time after, however,
they gave up the building to the congregation of
the Holy Office, who got it repaired at a cost of
15,000 f., and were enabled to occupy it but a few
months ago. On the 16th, the French Commission
for quartering the troops :suddenly received inform-

tion that the 7th battalion of foot chasseurs was
coming on the following evening. Not knowing
where to quarter them at so short a notice, the Coro-
missioners immediately sent to the Holy Office, an-
nouncing in rather an imperious tone, their intention
of taking possession of the buildings, and demanding
the immediate removal of the offices f the Inquisition. ,
It being urged on the part of the latter that it was
impossible to remove the archives, the tribunal,
&c., at a moment's warning, a respite of three days
was at length granted, with the proviso that those
parts of the building which were empty, should be
immediately occupied by the French troops. The
HOLY FATHER, who is himself the prefect of the
Congregation, gave orders to look out for another
suitable building wherein to install the now homeless
tribunal; but every effort having proved fruitless, his
HOLINESS has been at last obliged to apportion for the
offices of the Inquisition a few rooms in the Palace of
the Vatican. Tne same letter states that the circulars
addressed by the Tuscan Minister of Ecclesiastical
Affairs to the bishops of that state, limiting the fran-
chises granted to the Church by the new concordat,
has produced a very unfavourable sensation at the
Court of Rome.

A letter from Nice, of the 21st, states that some
disturbances took place there on that day, in conse-
quence of the drawing for the conscription. The
young men, who obtained the bad numbers, raised an
outcry, declaring that they would not serve a Go-
vernment which had ruined the country by the abo-
lition of the free port. They then displayed a red
flag, and proceeded
i towards the Pont du Var, pre-
tending that they intended to take refuge in France.
They stopped short, however, before they had gone
far, and, after some delay, thought it better to disperse.
