tending the house on Wednesday, to support the second
reading of the Bleachers and Dyers Short Time Bill.
The particulars are advertised of a number of
Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds which have
been redeemed and cancelled.
According to a statement published last year the
public debt of Brazil was £12,409,0,.58, or less than three
years' revenue. Of this amount £6,415,978 was infernal
debt and £3,493,100 foreign.
A recent telegram from India mentions that the
cotton crop in the North-Western provinces will this year
be favourable. The Tussah silk crop, which is grown in
the lower part of Bengal, will, it is alleged, he a partial
failure.

A meeting of the Grand Surrey Docks and Canal
Company was held yesterday to consider a bill now before
Parliament to enable the construction of additional docks,
and to raise a further amount of capital. After some expla-
nations a resolution was carried formally approving the
measure.

A meeting is to be held on Saturday in the
Stock-Exchange to consider the propriety of revising the
existing scale o brokers' commissions, and of enforcing the
observance of regular charges. Some measure of the kind
has long been necessary.

The North British Mail says :—" There is a
rmnour current, which is stated to be correct, that the two
youngest sons of the Duke of Buccleuch have followed their
maternal relative (we presume the writer means their
mother), and gone over to the Church of Rome."

TUE LATE COLONEL NEILL—A marble tablet
has been erected on one of the walls of the Old Church,
Ayr, by Mrs. Neill, of Swintidgemuir, and her daughters,
in memory of the late Colonel Neill and his three sons, the
latter of whom all died in the service of their country.—

QUEEN'S PRINTERS' PATENT.—On Wednesday,
in the House of Commons, Mr. Baines brought up the re-
port of the select committee which has sat for two sessions
on the Queen's Printers' patent for printing. the Bible. The
report recommends that the patent bo not renewed, and
that no exclusive privilege of printing the Scriptures be
allowed henceforth to exist.

TILE CARLISLE COFFIN MYSTERY.—The Paisley
Herald rays reference to the death of the child
whose body was discovered seine time since in a coffin en-
closed in a box at Carlisle, addressed to Mrs. Loudon, and
which has since been traced to Greenock, we understand
that, on an analysis of a portion of the stomach, poison has
been found."

ELECTION EXPENSES.—The expenses incurred by
Viscount Bury when he solicited re-election for Norwich
in June last on his appointment as Treasurer of the Royal
Household have just been officially returned by the election
auditor at £731 10s. 2d. During the last few days a com-
mittee of the House of Commons has decided that the noble
lord was ineligible for nomination in consequence of corruf.-
tion subsequently proved to have been practised at his re-
turn for Norwich in the previous March. Probably by this
time his lordship has had enough of Norwich politics.
DEATH OF A PARLIAMENTARY VETERAN.—The
late Mr. Charles Ross, one of the Commissioners of the
Audit Board, who died yesterday, at his residence, Port-
land-place, at the age of 60, was a gentleman who had played
a long, if not a distinguished, part in political and Minis-
terial life. Ile was the only son of that gallant officer, the
late General Alexander Ross, by Isabella, daughter of the
late Sir Robert Gunning, Bart., and was born in 1799. He
had scarcely attained his mijority when he entered Parlia-
ment on a casual vacancy, as M.P. for the since disfran-
chised borough of Orford, which he represented from 1322
to 1826. In the next Parliament he sat for the borough of
St. Germans, and continued to represent that constituency
in the Conservative interest until extinguished by the Re-
form Act. Ho was then elected an M.P. for Northampton,
and was reehosen in 1835, both times after a severe con-
test, but was defeated by Mr. It. Currie at the general
election of 1837. He held the post of a Lord of the Ad-
miralty for a short time in 1830, and was a Lord of the
Treasury under the short-lived Administration of Sir It.
Peel in 1834-35. Mr. Ross married, in 1825, the Lady
Mary Cornwallis, daughter of the late Marquis Cornwallis,
by whom he has surviving issue. Mr. Ross lost one of his
sons, a most promising officer before Sebastoof in 1855.
By Mr. Ross's death, the families of Cornwallis, Bray-
breoke, &c., are placed in mourning.

Last night, Colman and Garrick's comedy, " The
Jealous Wife," compressed into three acts, was per-
formed at this theatre with very great success. The
great novelty of the entertainment was the circum-
stance of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Wigan sustaining
the respective parts of Mr. and Mrs. Oakley,
and certainly a more natural, artistic, or per-
fect piece of acting has not been seen for a very
long time. As Mr. Oakley (Mr. -Wigan) brought
out all the minute points of the part with consum-
mate skill, and even when nearly distracted by the
false suspic ion of Mrs. Oakley as to his
conduct, we had still the kind, forgiving,
polished gentleman before us. The words " Mr.
Oakley's rout ! and all the world will come," was
given with immense effect. Mrs. Wigan's em-
bodiment of the jealous wife, Mrs. Oakley, was
highly appreciated, and elicited universal approba-
tion. At the fall of the curtain, in obedience to
the unanimous applause of a very brilliant and
fashionable audience, Mr. and Mrs. Wigan had to
appear and bow their acknowledgments. The
talented artists afterwards appeared in the cele-
brated farce, " The Bengal Tiger."

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Iteuter's oWee

TURIN, MARCh 22.
Baron Ricasoli arrived here to-day, and was re-
ceived by the King at four o'clock.

His Majesty, in reply to a congratulatory speech
of Baron Iticasoli, said—

" I accept the vote of Tuscany, which; after
having been expressed by the National Assembly,
is now confirmed by the unanimity of the popular

suffrages.

" Tuscany, in associating,her destinies with those
of Piedmont, far from renouncing, continues her
glorious traditions, and augments their importance
by uniting them to those ofthe other parties of the
State. The Parliament in which the representatives
of Tuscany will take their seats beside those of Pied-
mont, Lombardy, and the Xrdlia, will bring the
laws of the country into conformity with the fruit-
ful principle of liberty.
"Thus Tuscany will enjoy the blessings of admi-
nistrative autonomy without weakening the union
of power and the national will, upon which the
prosperity and the independence of the country
are principally dependent.

The King then signed the decree annexing Tus.
cant' to Sardinia.

LEGHORN, MARCH 2

Count de Mosbourg, who (a litre eicieux) occupied the
post of French Charge d'Affaires in Tuscany, has engaged
a suite of apartments in this city.
As soon as the annexation of Tuscany to Piedmont shall
have been promulgated, the French Legation at Florence
will be dissolved, and its employes will in the meantime
retire to Leghorn, in accordance with the last instructions
received from Paris.

PARIS, MARCH 22

The Patrie of this evening says :—" The Sar-
dinian troops have commenced the evacuation of
Savoy. The first detachment of the French troops
returning from Lombardy will arrive in Savoy on
the 25th instant."
