A royal decree in.the Marls id Gazette of the sth
promulgates the treaty between Spaiu and Sardi-
nia for the mutual extradition of criminals. Ac.
c,-.rdifig to the Fpocy the accounts given of the
discovery of a "gunpowder plot" at Barcelona
are unfounded. The same journal alleges that
the seditious proclamations seized at Madrid were
of no importance, and that the principal person
arrested for having had them in his possession,
who
n some
aeago was a public functionary, had
liberty. The Senate had commenced
the debate ou the address in reply to the Speech
frina the Throne. An amendment proposed by
the Archbishop of Tarragona, in favour of the
holders of certain descriptions of ecclesiastical pro-
perty which has been sold, was rejected. General
Lora then brought forward an amendment on the
subject of Mexico, and reproached the Government
with
denco in the dispute with that country. The
discussion of this amendment was not concluded at
post-hour. The railway from Madrid to Alicant
had been opened to the public.

thought right to instruct their inspector, Mr. Farnell,
with such assistants as might be requisite, to visit the
workhouse and take the measurement of the several

Mr. TURNER, said this communication from the Poor
Law Board appeared toignore altogether the existence
of snob a body as the board of directors. (Hear, bear.)
The time had arrived when they should show the Poor
Law Board that they were determined not to be ignored,
but that they were the governors of St. Pancras work-
house, and knew the proper number of persons to pliifee
in the wards, withost any interference from the Pcor
Law Cuminissioners or their emissaries. They had for
twenty-three years assumed a right to interfere with th
management of that parish, but bad never proved their
right, and until they did be for one would resist their
interference. Mr. Turner moved a resolution to the
effect that the Poor Law Board be informed that the

THE RtIDIXENTs 019 BANlCRutrdY.—The first thing to
do, my young friend, when you start in life, is to settle
everything you possess upon your wife. Having done
alarm about your
situation and begin to buy. That you may be ander no
this legally and securel, take a warehouse in a good
y
power to do this, I will explain, in a
few words, the theory of trade. The greater part of
goods manufactured are made by persons of little capital,
and they are compelled to force sales to got bills of
exchange for discount to pay for the raw material.
The warehousemen who buy them are men of little or
no capital, and they are compelled to hurry sales to get
bills for discount to pay the bills drawn by the maculae
turers. And so trade moves, oue class continually
pushing on
every man's back ; you, therefore, need be under no
another. The necessity to sell is behind
c)ncern about your ability to buy. Before you have
opened your doors a week you will scarcely be able to
keep the c3ramercial traveller-, out. Let it be hinted
abroad—although it is not absolutely necessary for
yuur success in failure, that your father-in-law is a per.
son of property. It means nothing, but it will be
useful in a variuty of ways. Dickenel !louse/old
