who happened to be at the Sun bar, coolly walked Oho

FItENC.H EMIGRATION FROM TO
PORT OF LONDON.
It will probably be remembered that a short 0111310
since a case of some public importance, as regards do
protection which our laws extend to foreignerg,
well as to natives, about to emigrate from this nollra
try, was reported as being brought before the Vol
Mayor, at the Mansion-house, when the circurnstOkes,
appeared to be of a very peculiar and complicated oho
racter, and the person inculpated (a Frenchman, "1 of
had chartered the ship Abyssinia) was, in default
payment of the sum claimed by the applicants
awarded by his Lordship, committed to prison forth of
months. Subsequently and at different times, 011114
parties mixed up with the affair were sumtn°l3o
under the 82d and 33d clauses of the Passengers 'el
to obtain justice for the complainants. Professi°,lo
gentlemen were employed on both sides, and, 'IA,
result ultimately was that the brokers took the litoo
lities of the principal upon themselves. He was &,Po
discharged from confinement, and the ship in questlj
having been purchased by the brokers, was fitted °lel
equipped by them ; the passengers were emberi'
and she sailed from hence the beginning of this 110
for her destination—California.
nle
The passengers were 65 Frenchmen, who es,
over here to proceed in the Abyssinia to St. I:,,fr;
cisco, and who, in the course of their appeal to r'pi
P
lish justice, felt so strongly the support they had °re
with in the distress and trouble in which they 11.,e,if
involved, that when they were extricated from If :00
embarrassment they presented a grateful adolt
to Lieutenant Lean, R.N., the able and 113:ci
efficient emigrant officer for the port of London, s;:i.
the Chargé d'Affaires of France also very bill/of
somely acknowledged, in a letter to the Lord gsloa
and Lieutenant Lean, the assistance they rot
met with. We append these letters to the gall,liot
emigration agent, as not only being interesting, "tit
as a proof of the readiness of the French Governtne,
to acknowledge the efficient aid afforded on this l'e;
casion. Moreover, it is another instance of how Ore
Lieutenant Lean's judicious and faithful services
estimated, both at home and abroad :

SALFORD PEEL TESTIMONIAL COMPETITION.---. 11
examining the twenty-four models for a statue, which b3't•
been submitted, there does not appear much originality al
composition, or even a departure from the conventionw
attitude which the few public statues in England commonly
display ; yet some of those designs in particular have been
very successful in impressing the idea of an educated states'
man in a habit characterising the manners of the time 1,
which he lived, together with a desire to please the e.3pressed views of the business-like Manchester mind, sfl„
which, if perpetuated in brouzi or marble, might carry dot;
to an admiring posterity the cut of every variety of coat fre,
the "dress" to the " Nicol's' paletot" and the
wrapper."—Builder.
Among other distinguished persons who visited al
Panorama of the Ganges, on Monday evening, were the Egr
and Countess Grey and their sons.
The British Museum closed yesterday afternoon for
the purpose of cleansing, &c., and will be re-opened to the
public on Wednesday, the Bth instant.
