(From the Morning Chroniile.)
When the Duchess of Berry was arrested, she addressed
herself to General Dermoncourt, and said—" I confide,
General, in you. I desire not to be separated from my
companions in misfortunes." Of course her " desires"
were attended to—she was conducted with all imaginable
honours from her chimneY•to the Chateau of Nantes—and
from thence to the, Cnateau de Blaye—where elegant
apartments, pictures, books, and newspapers, awaited her
arrival. When La Croix, a young Republican, only
seventeen years of age, was tried the other day—the same
day, I believe, that the Duchess was arrested—fur having
fouht as a Republican in the streets of Paris, in June
last—and when, on being condemned to death, he was
asked." what he had to say against the execution of the
sentence ?" he replied with calmness and, resignation,.
" I FIND THAT I AM A VICTIM—AND THIS BECAUSE I
AM A POOR LAD WITHOUT PROTECTION !" So, of course,
as he was WITHOUT PROTECTION, the sentence was
recorded— and will he commuted to Hann LA-
BOUR IN THE ih A ',LEI'S Fon LIFE ! ! Does this
strike you ? Yes, yes, I know it does! ITladmite
the Duchess of Berry, who is the direct and positive
cause of hundreds and thousands of murders and massacres,
and of civil war for six long months in La Vendee, is
conducted in state to the Chateau of Blaye, and is not
even to be tried by a Jury—whilst La Croix, a young
lad of 17 years of age, is sentenced to death, or, at any
rate, as an act of mercy, to the galleys for life, for being
a Republican ! "lam a poor lad without protection
Will this state of things be perpetuated in France? Will
this preference of might to right be fix ever permitted ?
Will a Royal culprit always "be protected," and a poor
lad he always without "a friend? ' Will there be one
law for the rich and another for the poor, established by
Act of Parliament? Will it henceforth be known all over
Europe and the world, that a Duchess may excite civil
war with impunity in France, whilst a poor lad of 17,
who helps to raise a barricade in a republican insurrection,
is condemned to the galleys for life ? Is this the result of
our forty years' contests, labours, sufferings, constitutions,
codes, charters, ;and laws? Is this t,:e legacy which
Foy, Manuel, Constant, Larnarque, and even Casimir
Perier, have left us ? No, no—if we must begin over
and over again, we must do so, but of one thing be sure—
the French R. volution has not terminated.-0, P. Q.

On Monday morning, the brig William the
Fourth, of Sunderland, Brown master, which sailed from
Warren Point on Slturday, grain !Aden, was driven on
shore i❑ Pend ten Cove, Senna', and almost immediately
went to pieces, and every soul on board perished. From
the cirsumstance of several articles of female apparel having
been washed on shore, it is conjectured that some women
were on board as passengers.— Western Flying Post.

WHAT ARE RUSSIA, PRUSSIA, AND Aus-
TRIA ABOUT?—.This is a most important question, and I
will answer it at length on another day ; but must just
glance at it as the conclusion to this letter. Russia is
preparing for war, and is anxious to make it ! Prussia is
endeavouring to accomplish the same end in France—viz ,
a counter-revolution ; but by another means, and that is,
by encouraging and aiding the Doctrinnaires ; and Aus-
tria, fearful of losing her Italian States, and her southern
possessions, is endeavouring to gain time by assenting for
the moment to what Prussia may agree to—not with the
intention of honestly recognizing the Revolution of July—
but, on the contrary, with the determined resolution (if
possible) of overthrowing it. You must then distinguish
between the acquiescence of Prussia and of Austria for the
moment; and their preparations and intentions for the
future. As the convention of the 22d of October settles
nothing, so its execution will settle less. This tt.e Courts
of Berlin and Vienna have felt, and they therefore permit
the Doctrinnaires to enter Belgium ; but on the express
condition, that, by this entry, a majority is gained for
them in the French Chambers—that majority shall at
once, and without a moment's delay, go on in right earnest
with a counter. revolution.-0. P. Q.—Morn. Chronicle.

A gentleman intimately acquainted with the
coal trade assures us that the effect of the late change has
been to lower coals to the consumers not less than eight
shillings a ton. But he says that the public. have not been
allowed to reap all the advantages they ought to reap from
the late Act. By that Act, the corporation of London
were empowered to appoint a committee to make rules
and by-laws relating to the delivery of coals. The cor-
poration, however, he says, instead of appointing a com-
mittee of themselves, delegated their power to a portion of
the coal-factors, whose interest it is to throw impediments
in the way of keeping the supply equal to the demand, in
order to have the price as high as possible. This delegated
tion for the loss of their situations—a class of men be-
tween whom and the factors there was formerly but too
good an understanding. They have, however, appointed
so few, that within the last fortnight as many as 300 sail
have been actually waiting for the delivery of their coals.
We need not say that all this unnecessary delay, compelling
a ship to make three voyages in the time she might make
four, adds greatly to the price of the consumer. This is a
matter that should be looked into. If the factors have an
interest in retarding the delivery, it is natural that they
should wish to confine the delivery to the meters appointed
by them. However, the corporation of London are not
the only party in fault. They have not power to act
without the consent of the Lords of the Treasury. But
between the two the public good has been neglected, and
the factors have been enabled to limit the supply of coals
for their own advantage.—. Morning Chronicle.

DETERMINED SUlClDE.—Yesterday an in-
quest was held at the Duke of Cumberland, Red Lion-
street, Spitalfields, on the body of THOMAS JOHNS, aged
42. It appeared that he had cut away from a loom of
Messrs. DUFF and BROOK ES, of Spital•square, sixty
yards of silk, which became known, and accordingly made
a great impression on his mind. On Sunday morning,
Mr. Movx, of 7, King-street, Spital-square, where
the deceased lodged, was alarmed by the son of the unfor •
tonate man, who said, " For God's sake, Mr. MOVE,
come up to my father." Mr. MovE ran up stairs, and
found the deceased hanging from a part of his weaving
machine ; he cut him down immediately, and the first
words he tittered on recovering were, " I am determined
to hang myself,-_I will not live." Mr. MovE left
him, apparently tranquil, witty his son ; but an hour
had scarcely elapsed, when he was aga'n called
up, and he found the deceased had hung himself a second
time. He was cut down, and once more recovered. Mr.
MOVE wished a policeman to take him into custody, but
as he said he was not authorised to do so on such grounds,
Mr. MOPE got a cleric to Messrs. DUFF and BROOKES t,)
give him into custody, on a charge of embezzlement. The
deceased said, " Ah I Mr. MOVE, you might as well have
let me have done it at first, as I am determined to do it."
He was placed in a cell in Christchurch station-house,
and every precaution was used to prevent suicide, his gar-
ters, braces, and handkerchief being taken from him. Tll9
next morning (Monday) he was, however, discovered
hanging from the gratin; of the window, suspended by
both his stockings, and quite dead. Verdict—Temporary
Insanity.

TITHE SALE IN THEWANDSWORTII-ROAD.
—For some time post placards have been posted adverti-
sing the sale of 50,000 trees, on the nursery-ground of
Mr. PHILLIPS, in the Wandsworth-road. Counter ad-
vertisements were posted by Mr. Plitt,mrs, stating that
the property described was to be sold to satisfy the exhor-
bitant demand of the Rector of the parish (Lambeth) for
tithes. The subject was spoken of at a meeting of the
Political Union on Monday night, and the Chairman re-
commended the persons present to attend the sale, which
was to take place at 12 o'clock on the following day (yes-
terday). At one o'clock Mr. Cnoss, the auctioneer, com-
menced selling, and the persons who surrounded him
consisted of about fifty, none of whom had the appearance
of buyers, and nearly the whole of whom commenced
every sort of annoyance in their power short of actual vio-
lence. The first lot consisted of twenty-six fruit-trees,
for which one shilling was bit which increased to five
shillings, at which they were knocked down. Three or
four other lots were subsequently knocked down, some of
them consisting of upwards of 100 trees, for Is. 6d. each
lot, The person who purchased the first lot asked of
the auctioneer whether he would indemnify him, if, in
taking the trees away, he took sufficient earth to pre-
serve the roots ? To which the auctioneer replied that
he could but sell the trees. Mr. PHILLIPS now inter-
fered, and demanded a sight of the warrant authorising the
sale, which, after some altercation, was read aloud by
the Sheriff's officer in possession. The sale was then
about to proceed, when a notice was served upon the auc-
tioneer, to the effect that the trees were the property of
Mr. Pilaw's, senior, the father of the supposed occupier
of the land. The auctioneer then left the ground to con-
sult with the solicitors, his employers ; and the sale was
ey
consequently postponed until some future day. On in-
quiry. we find that the execution under which this sale
was ordered
