TllB LATE COUNT DE SALVANDY.

The Count de Chamboid addressed the following
letter to M. Pugeot, late French Minister to the
United States, on hearing of the death of the Coun.
de Salvandy

" VENICE, DEc. 25, 1856.
"On arriving at Venice, I learnt, sir, the death of
Count de Salvandy, and I cannot lose a moment in
charging you to be, under those lamentable circum.
stances, the interpreter to Madame de Salvandy of my
sympathies and my profound regret. Nobody more than

and noble assurance of his entire devotedness, offered
me the assistance of his zeal and of his constant efforts
to prepare the way for that desired reconciliation which
has since been so fortunately accomplished, and which
France has a right to look upon at present as one of the
firmest guarantees for the future. Those are good and
loyal services which, united with other recollections of
his life so honourable and his death so Christian, will
render his memory ever precious and dear. Say so on
my part to his family and to his numerous friends. May
they find in that reflection some relief to their just
affliction !
" I am alWays in the hopes that I shall soon have the
pleasure of seeing yon. lam anxious to he able to
renew verbally the expressions of my entire esteem and
wy very sincere affection. " EIENRI."

From the evidence adduced it appeared that the &cooe
was in the employ of Messrs. Russell and Marti*
brewers in the town, and on Thursday last was 601
engaged in the brewhouse. About 5 o'clock on the after
noon of the day in question, when a quantity of boili4
liquor had been drawn off from the copper into the 13°P,
back, he ascended a step-ladder in order to turn a tap 74
let some cold liquor into the copper. To accomplish t", ";
it was necessary for him on reaching the top of the All

Two fellow workmen and Mr. Martin, one of the o'4
were close at hand at the time, and they instantly dreola
the unfortunate man (who was resting on his head a A.
covered nearly to his knees) from the boiling Willi::
His head, face, and chest were fearfully scalded,. and 7,

hospital immediately upon being stripped and wraPP_A
in flannel. The poor fellow's system, however, proved
to have received so severe a shock that he never rallied,
and death took place the same night. The jury returned
a verdict of " Accidental death." A widow and PO
children are left wholly unprovided for.

PORTUGAL.

The session of the Portuguese Cortes for 1857
was opened on the Ist inst. by King Dorn Pedro
V. by a Royal speech.
His Majesty announces that Portugal is at peace
with the rest of the world ; the conclusion of a
treaty with the Holy See respecting the Royal pa-
tronage in the East; and congratulates the country
on the maintenance of tranquillity, momentarily
disturbed in the capital, in consequence of the high
price of provisions.

The Royal speech then alludes to the ravages of
the cholera in the island of Madeira. " It gives me
pleasure (says his Majesty) to declare publicly how
highly I appreciate the important services which
the generosity of the English people has rendercd
to the inhabitants of the island of Madeira."
The Royal speech, which is of considerable
length, then touches upon public instruction in
Portugal and other subjects of local interest.
Among other things, it announces that a bill will
he laid before the Cortes, for carrying out the pro-
jected railway as far as the Spanish frontier.
His Majesty's speech expresses his thanks to the
Governments of England and of the United States
for the succour given by them to the inhabitants of
the Cape Verd Islands, and concludes with the an-
nouncement that the Minister of Finance will
shortly lay before the Cortes the budget for
1857.58.

INDIA.

THE EXPEDITION TO CABUL.
TRIESTE, SUNDAY.
The steamer Calcutta arrived here this morning
(the 18th inst.) at half-past three o'clock, having
made the passage in 131 hours from Alexandria.

ALEXANDRIA, JAN. 5.

The India mails leave to-day, with advices from
Bombay, T`ec. 1; ; Calcutta, 8 ; Madras, 13 ;
Ceylon, 17.
We have no news of the Persian Gulf expedi-

tion.
The force under Brigadier Chamberlayne had
nearly reached Cabul.*
At Bombay the import market was steady.
Exports were in good demand ; freights had de-
clined. The banka had again raised their rates of
interest. Exchange, 2s. 21d.
At Calcutta, the import market was dull.
Exports were in good demand, and freights less
firm. The money market was becoming more
stringent. Exchange, 2s. 2 5-6ths. to 2s. 2-gd.
At Madras there was no alteration in either the
export or import markets. Money was plentiful.
Freights had risen. Exchange, 2s. 2id.

The _Bombay Times of Dec. 3 contained the
following :
"An army of 5,000 men has for some time
past been advancing by the hills of Kohat in the
direction of Cabul, so quietly that we hardly
knew anything of the proceedings till a letter from
an officer with the force made us aware that they
had got within 50 miles of the capital of the
Ameer, without knowing the object or destination
of their despatch. Sir John Lawrence was about
to proceed to meet Dost Mahomed in person."
This force, when last heard of, had marched
through the Meeranzie Yalley to Thull, 60 miles
from Kohat, and 180 from Cabul. Moving on-
wards from Thull it crossed the river Koorum
and entered the valley of that name, still keeping
on the great road to Cabul.

THE LATE GALES. —The destruction of shipping ic,ro

occasioned by the late gale, bas been very great. Abov
30 vessels are ashore on the line of coast lying between
the Tees and the Tweed. Above 50 seamen have been
drowned by vessels foundering at sea within the same
area. The gale was very fearful in the neighbourhood
of Sunderland on Sunday. Several of the small craft
employed in conveying iron ore from Whitby to the Tyne
have been lost with their crews • and the loss of life by
vessels foundering on the coast between Lowestoft and
Berwick will exceed 100 persons. The Northumberland
coast in the neighbourhood of the Coquet and the Fern
Islands felt the storm, which was the most violent and
destructive experienced for miny years.

LITERATURE.

Sketches by Curio. Bosworth and Harrison.

A very amusing little volume, containing a
quarter of a hundred "Sketches" by Curio—curious
to look upon : fresh, sparkling, and laughable. A
volume, therefore, especially welcome now, during
the long evenings, by the cheerful fireside. Evi-
dently the writer of the little ok is one most
agreeably unhackneyed in thew ills, of literature.
Observe " agreeably" unhackneyed—meaning by
that, devoid of the mere ordinary commonplaces of
pen-and-ink. A draughtsman who works " with
a will"—and not simply "to order." Look at the
subjects he has chosen to descant upon, for example,
in proof of this None of your threadbare Prize
Essay themes—" Christmas," and all that sort of
thing ! Or vague generalities, again, touched upon
"many a time and oft" by 'prentice-hand and
master-hand alike. All kinds of men have their
features jotted down upon his thumbnail by this
ready Sketcher. The "Sanguine," the " Cautious,"
the " Injured, " the " Conceited, " the
" Disagreeable," the " Particular." Here, how-
ever, are a few examples of the lively and whimsical
vein of Curio.

PORTUGAL.

-----
The session of the Portuguese Cortes for 1857
was opened on the Ist inst. by Ling Dora Pedro
V. by a Royal speech.
His Majesty announces that Portugal is at peace
with the rest of the world ; the conclusion of gb
treaty with the Holy See respecting the Royal pa-
tronage in the East; and congratulates the country'
on the maintenance of tranquillity, momentarily
disturbed in the capital, in consequence of the high
price of provisions.

- The Royal speech then alludes to the ravages of
the cholera in the island of Madeira. " It gives me
pleasure (says his Majesty) to declare publicly how
highly I appreciate the important services which
the generosity of the English people has rendered
to the inhabitants of the island of Madeira."
The Royal speech, which is of considerable
length, then touches upon public instruction in
Portugal and other subjects of local interest.
Among other things, it announces that a bill will
be laid before the Cortes, for carrying out the pro-
jected railway as far as the Spanish frontier.
His Majesty's speech expresses his thanks to the
Governments of England and of the United States
for the succour given by them to the inhabitants of
the Cape Verd lands, and concludes with the an-
nouncement that the Minister of Finance will
shortly lay before the Cortes the budget for
1857-58.

valuable securities, to the amount of 24,000 dollars,

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE'.

SOUTH WALES CIRCUIT. —o..utmAnniEN,

MARCH 18.
The trial of prisoners commenced in the
county town on Tuesday, the 17th inst., before
Baron Watson.

The learned Judge addressed the grand jury,
congratulating them most sincerely upon the ab-
sence of all crime of a serious character in the
calendar. Such a paucity of crime after six or
seven months had elapsed was most gratifying, es-
pecially as those months included the winter por-
tion of the year, which was usually the most produc-
tive of crime. There were only six cases in which
offences against the law had been committed, or,
at least, in which the supposed criminals had been
detected, and those were, in every instance but
one, cases of petty theft, where the property was
of no great value.' He attributed this wholesome
state of affairs to the presence of the gentry of the
county, amongst the people, who, by residing
in the midst of them, and setting a good
example to those around them or dependent
upon them, contributed materially and es-
sentially to the state of the calendar with which
they had then to deal, and showed the inha-
bitants of the county to be a moral, religious, and
