The friends of humanity throughout the civilized
world, may congratulate themselves on the signal
success which appears to have attended the efforts of
our Ambassador to the Sublime Porte to put an end
to those excesses of fanatical bigotry against professors
of the Christian faith, which' have so long disgraced,
and so recently polluted, Constantinople. Our readers
sill not have forgotten, among other instances of
Mohammedan intolerance, the cold-blooded execution

rank of an independent monarchy. The noble con-
duct of the Greek Ministers and the people of Athens,
in the revolution of the 15th of September last, was
an exhibition of temperate decision, of an inherent
genuine love of national liberty, and of a moral power
of abstinence, in the moment of their triumphffrom all
that could sully its lustre er impede its onward pro-
gress, worthy of the best days of their best patriots

and heroes.
But it was not to be expected that a weak Prince
like King artio, although some notorious evil coun-
cillors were then carefully removed from about his
person, would be able to redeem, in all sincerity and
strictness, the spirit of the pledge he at that time
gave to his people, to accept and abide by the bases of
a Constitutional Charter forthwith to be prepared for
his adoption. There was but too much reason to ap-
prehend that—whatever might be the disposition of
King OTno (on finding that his opposition to the
great national movement in question had proved
altogether fruitless, and might, if persisted in, involve
him in personal danger) to act up to the engage-
ment he had frankly given to his subjects—the agents
of certain Foreign Powers would not, without a
determined, though secret struggle, permit the esta-
blishment of a state of things—the formation of a
constitutional Government—which must inevitably
prove fatal to the influence of the Crowns they re-
represented, and to the further success of those Crowns
in discouraging the principle of representative go-
vernment.

of an Armenian (if we rightly remember) which oc-
curred in the capital of Turkey only a few months
ago. The unhappy victim had been artfully betrayed
into the expression, in some way or other, of a desire
to become a Mussulman ; and, under the impression
that the whole affair was one merely of banter or jok-
ing, he fatally assumed the turban for a day or two.
It he really meant but a joke in doing this, he began
to find that it was but a sorry one; if he had been
sincere in proposing to change his faith, he speedily
thought better of it. In two days he resumed his
Armenian-Christian habiliments, and doffed his tur-
ban. For this last act of contumacy he was denounced
by some bigot neighbours ; taken before the Cadi ;
denounced by the Alollah ; and sentenced to be deca-
pitated. Sir STRATFORD CANNING, the Moment that
the affait came to his knowledge, accompanied by re-
presentations of the imminent danger in which the
wretched offender was, addressed the most urgent
remonstrances to the Divan ; and, in personal con-
ferences with the Turkish Minister of Justice (by
whatever appellation that officer is designated) pressed
fur the release of the unfortunate Armenian. All his
entreaties and negotiations were finally unavailing.
The poor man's head was cut off; and, his body being
exposed in the market-place, the head was placed be-
tween the knees, vi ith the cap or hat upon it, to add
to the indignity with which it was desired to visit
upon him the penalty of the offence. The mob of
Constantinople, always to the last degree superstitious,
fanatical, and brutal, indulged in atrocious gesticula-
tions and pleasantries on the. subject; and for some
time it was impossible for any Frank—especially if
he was attached to the suite or household of some
one or other of the European Ambassadors—to show
his face in the public streets without being reviled br
hooted at, or even pelted, by a vile rabble of beggars,
disbanded soldiers, &c. Sir STRATFORD, with his
accustomed energy and spirit,,brought the affair under
the notice of the SULTAN and his Primo Minister.
He would not be amused with vague and general
promises of "managing these things better" in future.
He did not relax his noble stand against these judicial
and bigoted murders, till now so common in Turkey,
until he had procured a solemn and formal undertak-
ing from the Porte that they would not be again per-
mitted.

We have been well pleased to record the arrival
in this country of a copy of the Constitutional
Charter of Greece, consisting of 107 articles, " de-
finitively settled by the National Assembly, and
finally adopted by King Orno. The intelligent cor-
respondent of the Morning Post, in -a letter dated
" Athens, Mare& 20," has forwarded a • graphic and
interesting account of some transactions which have
attended the consummation of this great national
manifesto. They are calculated to produce a mingled
feeling of pity and of anger in respect of the young
King of GREECE. Orno seems tempted to merit
the biting censure upon the now excluded section of
the Bourbons, conveyed in that reflection of the late
M. DE TALLEYRAND, that "they have learned nothing ;
land—they have forgotten nothing." Thus, says the
correspondent alluded to, " when the Charter,
after all the protracted discussions upon it, and
the intense anxiety thereby created in the
public mind, was, at last, sent to the KIeKG
for his ratification, to the surprise and dis-
I may of most people, his 'MAJESTY returned it
1 with so many alterations, that the Assembly had to
take the matter again into serious consideration. It
cannot be denied that, by such conduct, the KING
placed in the utmost jeopardy. the popularity he had
been gaining during the last six months."

In this and other matters, the infatuated young
man had not only acted "against the advice of the
representatives of England and France, but also that
of MAVROCORDATO, COLETTI, and the other Greek
Ministers, to whom he only communicated a parr of his
objections, and added a great many more without con-
sulting them at all, one of which was, that political of-
fences should not be tried by jury. Fortunately, how-
ever, the wisdom of the Assembly afforded a great con-
trast to the folly of the KING, as it was at once de-
cided that, as debates were likely to arise, in which
very open mention would be made of the KING and
his proceedings, it would be proper to have the sit
tings secret while such discussions continued. Ac-
cordingly, for three days the Assembly deliberated
with closed doors, at the end of which period it was
announced that ten of the KING'S alterations were
accepted, and sixteen or seventeen rejected, the
Assembly being unanimous on all points. It is
notorious that the KING was placed in this false
position by having been induced to follow the advice
of the Prussian Minister, Mons. BRICIER DE ST.
SIMON, and that of Mons. PRIVILEGIO—a position
nearly as critical as that of the 15th of September ;
but, providentially, his MAJESTY seems to have '
been suddenly convinced of the error ha had been led
into, and, within an hour of receiving the final de-
cision of the Assembly, sent down a message to say
he adopted the Constitutional Charter as it now stood.
The message was received with great acclamation by
the Assembly, and the populace went under the Palace
windows and cheered, when his MAJESTY appeared
at the balcony, and bowed in acknowledgment."
This is an ominous indication of the continuous ten-
dency of "Prussian principles," which, from the per-
sonal character of his Prussian MAJESTY, we regard
rather with disappointment and regret than with sur-
prise. It suggests matter, too, for some observations
on the singularly marked course of Russian counsels,
in their new delegated channels of Prussian interven-
tion, to which we shall hereafter call the serious
attention of our readers.

This document has been given with certain forma-
lities, too, which are well calculated to increase its
actual authority and its influence among the native
subjects of the Porte. We subjoin a brief extract
from the correspondence of a Morning Contemporary
on this subject :
" CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 20.—Yesterday evening,
a note identique was transmitted by the Porte to the
English Ambassador, and the Ministers of France and
Prussia. The contents of this communication, which
has reference to the demands of England, France, and
Prussia, on the subject of executions for causes con-
nected with religion, are highly satisfactory. The
Porte declares that, desirous of proving that its in-
stitutions are not incompatible with the mainte-
nance of friendly relations with the Christian
Powers—it pledges itself that no acts, of the nature
of those objected to, shall again take place. This so-
lemn declaration will, no doubt, afford sincere pleasure
to every friend of peace, civilisation, and religious
liberty ; it is a great triumph in the cause of humanity,
and it is, moreover, fraught with the most important
political consequences to the Porte. The three Powers
above-mentioned having intimated that they would
withdraw their friendship and protection if the Porte
rejected their demands, it follows, as a matter of course,
that they are bound to befriend and support it to the
best of their ability, now that it has made this noble
effort to comply with them. The same straightforward
policy that required the sacrifice will strictly fulfil the
obligations it has imposed. The Porte may now look
with confidence to the prompt and cordial assistance of
those Powers ; and, certainly, as everything in the po-
litical horizon seems to indicate, it had never more need
of their friendly intervention than at this moment !"
If anything could add to the gratification we de-
rive from the " triumphant conclusion," as the writer
terms it, to which Sir STRATFORD CANNING has
brought this delicate but important business, it would
be that we find he was most ably seconded and as-
sisted in his measures by the Minister of France at
the Porte, the Baron BOURQUENET. It is an en-
nobling spectacle to see the representatives of two
mighty Powers, sinking all conflicting pretensions
connected with the minor interests and affairs com-
mitted to their charge, and thus making common
cause in a vigorous and successful appeal on behalf of
outraged humanity.
But if we turn from the metropolis of "Islam," and
its occasional brutal sacrifices of an individual Chris-
tian or so, to the proud capital, or the more ancient
provincial cities, of the "Most Catholic" of all the mo-
narchies of Christendom, what shall we see there at
this day ? Christian soldiers and civilians butchered
in cold blood, or shot by sections under the orders
and by the hands of compatriots, also calling them-
selves Christian men ! We shall see the state-ma-
jority of a young Queen, and the return from exile
of her mother, severally signalised by the most san-
guinary excesses of political vengeance ! Why
should not England and France accredit a solemn
embassy to the Court of Spain, insisting sternly on
the present cessation and future extinction of these
atrocious crimes, in the name of all Europe, and in
the cause of European peace ? Are the ruling autho-
rities of Spain more cowardly, more bigoted, more
bloodthirsty—less Christian, in short—than those of
Mahommedan Turkey, that it is assumed they would
turn a deaf ear to all such remonstrances ? Or are
the Spanish people so much more debased and bar-
barous than the Turks, that it is supposed they would
resist such an intervention of France and England on
behalf of human nature ?

Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Home Secretary of State,
and consequently one of the most important Members
of the Cabinet,—who is, or should be, the Premier's
right-hand man—has just been refused that post
which, by all accounts, he so much coveted—namely,
the Lord-Lieutenancy of the county of Cumberland.
Notwithstanding his claims upon that county, backed
by his obseqious and unblushing Toryism, Sir ROBERT
PEEL has discreetly decided against the "renegade
Whig," and has resolved to continue the post
in the family of LONSDALE, who have hold it

for so many years. We cannot say that we are I
seriously afflicted at the idea of Sir JAMES GRA-
liaises disappointment. On the contrary, we
are strongly—some may perhaps say wickedly—
disposed to rejoice at it, as furnishing an impressive
proof of the declining influence of one of the most
notorious political apostates of his day. Had the
Netberby Baronet remained constant to the opinions
he once held, he would, with the talents which he
undoubtedly possesses, but of which he makes so ill a
use, have been one of the most influential men in
Parliament, and exercised no slight ascendancy over
the minds of his countrymen ; but he preferred the
slippery, tortuous path, to the broad, straightforward
one, caring little about consistency, provided he could
only put himself in the way of getting a snug birth in
Downing-street, under the auspices of a Minister who
bid fair to maintain his post for some length of time.
Well, he has gained the great object of his ambition ;
he is installed in office under the powerful Tories in- ,
stead of under the feeble Whigs ; and what is the conse-
quence of this realisation of his most cherished hopes ?
Why, just this—that at the present moment, not-
withstanding the high post he occupies in the Cabi-
net, he has less moral influence with the country than
any man ever possessed, who held the same distin-
guished position in the Government. His party, it is
true, still pay a sort of forced and interested deference
to him, because they know him to be possessed of all the
useful qualities of a Tory tool ; but no really inde-
pendent Member cares two straws for what he says,
or places the slightest confidence in his political prin-
ciples. As a Minister he has shown himself, during
the whole period of his connection with the PEEL
Cabinet, as little better than a mere bungler, Who
forgets the pitiable figure he cut with his Factory
Education Bill last year, which he was compelled to
abandon in breathless haste, because he refused to
allow the arrogant pretensions of the Church
to be one jot abated ? There were some
good paints in this faulty measure, as we
mentioned at the time, but the Home Secretary

The sympathy of Europe is never more acutely
touched and awakened than when it is appealed
to by the efforts of Greece to consolidate
the new position she has assumed among the
family of modern nations. Her ancient glory,
--matchless alike in science and philosophy, in
arts and in arms,—attained its true perfection in the
extent and character of that refining influence which
her example exercised upon all other civilised States,
not only in the ages of her own pre-eminence,
but (in a less or a greater degree) through all
succeeding time. Her sufferings and her wrongs,
protracted through a stormy period of eighteen hun-
dred years, to the close of the first quarter
of the present century, had given her additional claims
on the generous assistance of European States, who
owed her, already, so large a debt of gratitude for the
intelligence, the learning, the wisdom, which her
noblest children had bequeathed to the most distant
posterity. Alternately betrayed by the policy of the
Emperors of Germany—excited or deserted by the
perfidy of Russia—she had reaped, from her many
I gallant efforts to shake off the intolerable thraldom
of Turkey—since the closing years of the career of Som..

hopeless physical and numerical superiority. Twenty
years, only, remove us from that memorable stage of
her eventful story in which she first successfully
made head and rallied her resources—scanty as those
i were—against her Moslem masters. Following up
those efforts with incredible pertinacity and resolu-
tion, at an awful sacrifice of Greek blood and Greek
establislunents, she rapidly achieved her way to a
political position in which she became the subject of
protective negotiations between some of the first-rate
powers of Europe and the Sultan. From the cha-
racter of a. supplicating appellant for protection
against the mere brute violence and eater-
minating fanaticism of her oppressors, she has

fresh in the recollections of our readers, to the

was afraid to carry them out, because he knew well
that the party with whom he acted would not permit
the just claims of the Dissenters to be received with
the slightest attention. Then look at his famous
Twelve Hours' Bill, his bungling management of
which--exhibiting, as it doe=, feebleness on the right,
and vigour on the wrong side of the question—has
given the Government a shock from which it will be
slow—very slow to recover! Poor Sir JAMES
GRAHAM ! lie is a species •of political Mar-
plot, and adroitly contrives to mismanage and
jeopardise every question which he takes in
hand. As regards the Lord-Lieutenancy of Cum-
berland, we are heartily glad that his claims
have been rejected in favour of those of the Earl of
LONSDALE; for though the Noble Earl is a Tory—

and our admiration of Toryism is by no means ex-
cessive, but stops considerably short on this side
idolatry—yet he is at- any rate a manly and con-
sistent one ; he has never adopted one set
of principles to day, and another set to-
morrow, but has maintained throughout his

public career a steady, open, undeviating c'iurse
of policy. Besides, he is known to be a punctual,-re-

solute, intelligent man of business ; when he held the
Woods and Forests none were more liked by those
with whom he waa.brought into official contact ; and

JAMAICA.
The following is the speech of his Excellency the
Governor of Jamaica, in closing the session on the Ist

of March :

" Gentlemen of the Council,
" Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly,
"I have much satisfaction in granting you a recess
after the labours of an unusually protracted sersion.
"The assiduity and zeal which you have evinced in
the discharge of your high functions, the prompt at •
tention you afforded to the suggestions contained in
my opening address, and the many useful enactments
which you have passed, demand my warmest acknow-

The Paris papers of Sunday have been received.
Being Easter Sunday the day was observed with
rather more solemnity than usual, and but little busi-
ness was done at TORTONI'S. _ _

The Editors of the Gazette de France and the
Nation have each been sentenced to a year's imprison-
ment and a fine of 12,000 f , for a libel on the Govern-
ment. The 'offensive publication was a letter, written
by M. DE ROCITEFOUCAULD, Due de Doudanville, ad-
dressed to the Gazette, in which it first appeared, and
afterwards copied into the Nation. The author of the
letter has not been prosecuted.
The articles in these papers being mostly on domes-
tic subjects, have not much general interest. The '
vote of the Chamber of Deputies on the Stamp Duties
on Newspapers does not excite so much attention as
might have been expected ; the commerce only has
an article on the question.
A paragraph in the Journal du Hare states that a
conspiracy had been detected among the black popu-
lation of Cuba, the object of which was the destruc-
tion of all the whites in the colony. Captain Boca-
DIN, of the Tigre, who communicates this intelligence
to the journal above named, states :
" Some days befoie my departure a vast conspiracy of
the nrgroes was discovered, the object of which was to
seize upon the whole of the island of Cuba, and to mur-
der all the white population. Numerous arrests had
already taken place, and the number was daily added to.
Unfortunately, among the number of those who are in
prison there figure several of our countrymen (French),
all planters from the neighbourhood of Matanzas, and
among them are some of the most esteemed of the num-
ber. These unfortunate men have been arrested on the
declaration of a free negro, who was formerly the slave
of one of them. The negro, it is said, for the purpose
of warding off the suspicion which fell upon himself,
went and accused his old masters, and thus got them
imprisoned. M. Mollien, the Consul-General of France
at the Havannah, was actively engaged with this affair
and there was no doubt that, in consequence of his zeal
and firmness, our unfortunate countrymen will soon be
restored to their afflicted families."
The Tigre left the Havannah on the 3d of March.
The National still publishes long lists of subscrip-
tions to the sword to be presented to Admiral Du-

amount of the population of the island should he as-
certained with the utmost possible accuracy, and I en-
tertain the hope that all will concur to aid the enume •
rators in the execution of the task assigned to them.
"I trust that the labours of the Commissioners,
whom I have named under the Act for appointing a
commission to inquire into the charities of the island,
will be attended with benefit to the colony.
" The encouragement which you have afforded to
the establishment of industrial schools, and the liberal
grants provided for the relief of the sufferers by the
fire at Kingston, and the erection of a lunatic asylum,
are proofs of your solicitude for the general welfare
The formation of a railway between Kingston and
Spanish Town has been sanctioned by. an Act of the
Legislature during the current session. Thi, project
may be presumed to indicate increasing confidence in
the resources of the colony, and will, it is hoped, tend
to their further development.
" I shall have much satisfaction in giving effect to
the measures which you have passed for the encou-
ragement of immigration.
"Two Acts have reached rne, the one entitled An
Act to enable the Court of Chancery to order the sale
and conveyance of the real estates cf lunatics, and to
grant leases for a limited period of estates in receiver-
ships ;' and the other, An Act to. prevent trespass
on property,' from which, in consideration of the
tenor of my instriteions, I have felt it my duty to
withhold my assent, until I have had the means of
communicating with her Majesty's Government on the
subjects to which they respectively relate. The for-
mer of these Acts confers new and extensive towers
upon the Court of Chancery, with the view of bene-
fiting parties interested in estates in receivership,
under orders of the court. With respect to the latter,
after much deliberation, I have come to the conclu-
sion that some of its provisions in their present shape
are susceptible of a construction inconsistent with the
principles of British law, as affecting titles to pro-
perty. Such an operation of the Actcould not, I appre-
hend, have bees contemplated by its promoters, and
would tend, it is to be feared, to check those feelings
of mutual confidence and affection which are happily
springing up between all classes in the community,
and towards the growth of which your legislation has
so remarkably contributed.
" Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly,
" I thank you for the supplies which you have
granted for the public service of the year. The re-
venue of the colony will, I trust, be found sufficient
for the purposes to which it is appropriated by the
Legislature.
" Gentlemen of the Council,
" Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly,
"I am deeply grieved to learn that the continued
drought has seriously injured the crop in some dis-
tricts of the island.
" The peaceable and orderly demeanour of the
population during the late Christmas season was the
subject of general remark, and afforded me the most
sincere gratification.
" The appointment of a Bishop of approved piety,
ability, and zeal to the diocese of Jamaica, has given
much satisfaction to the colony.
" The patronage which her Majesty has been gra-
ciously pleased to bestow on the Royal Agricultural
Society of Jamaica is an inducement to increased
exertions on our part in the promotion of agricultural
improvement, and a gratifying proof of the interest
taken by our beloved Queen in the welfare of her
subjects-in this island.
" It will not, I hope, be considered out of place if
I express, on this occasion, the deep sense of obliga-
tion under which you have laid me personally by the
evidence you have given of your participation in my
domestic affliction.
" You are about to separate, at a. period when your
presence at your respective homes is much required.
It is my earnest desire that your endeavours to pro-
mote the general welfare, and your own more imme-
diate interests may be attended with success ; and
that contentment and happiness may prevail among
all classes of the inhabitants of the colony.
" I do now, in her Majesty's name, prorogue this
General Assembly to the 2d day of April next, and it is
hereby prorogued accordingly.
The House having returned, the list of Bills to
which his Excellency the Governor had been pleased
to give his assent was read, as was also a copy of the
speech his Excellency was pleased to deliver...
His Honour the Speaker then declared the House
to be prorogued to the 2d of April next by his Excel-
lency the Governor, and Hon. Members departed,
congratulating each other on the termination of their
"abours.

One of the most rapid passages ever made across
the Atlantic has just been completed bar Captain Burs-
ley and his noble ship Hottinguer. the Hottinguer
left Sandy Hook on the 23d, and made the land in 13
days, when a calm came on and kept her some 36
hours in the Channel without making way. She
brings 2,400 bags of cotton.
AV hen the Hottinguer left the city of New York,
the news by the steam-ship Caledonia had not arrived
at New York from Boston.
This arrival furnishes news from New York five
days later than received by the Montezuma; the
papers are, however, unusually barren of interest to
the European reader.
Commercial matters appear favourable ; in most tie-
partmrnts there was considerable activity. Our
New York correspondent state; that " the springhas
come upon us suddenly. The North River, as well
as all other rivers in this vicinity, have broken up,
and the steamers are running in every direction.
Our list of arrivals shows a great increase. The hotels
are filled a month earlier than common. Our
merchants are quite actively engaged. The supply
of goods is large, and the assortment good. The
transportation from the city, south, is through the
Jersey and Pennsylvania canals ; our own great
Canal will not be open until the 19th of next month.
As the navigation of the Lakes has commenced much
earlier than usual, the amount of goods to be brought
through the Canal will be large."
The cotton market has settled down into regular
business. The stock in New York was never known
to be so large, amounting to above 150,000 bags.
Speculation had ceased, and shipments are made in
the usual course. Holders were keeping cotton back
till the arrival of the Caledonia.
There had been a good deal of panic in Wall-
street on the subject of the Texian question, and
a sudden fall of stocks was the consequence. Stock
operator; have felt the influence of this sensation in
the fall of stocks. The agitation still continues to
some extent, but it has in some degree subsided. The
Texian and Oregon questions are calculated to have
an effect on mercantile matters.
The rate of exchange on England was 107 i to 108 ;
at the latter price a large business was done for the
Hottinguer. On France the rate was sf. 32e., but
nothing done.

DR. KALLEY AND RELIGIOUS
LIBERTY IN PORTUGAL.
The case of Dr. Kalley, a Scotch physician, who
was, last autumn, illegally imprisoned at Madeira, on
a charge of " blasphemy and heresy," and abetting
apostacy and heresy," has been tried at Lisbon and
Funchal.
On the 24th Feb., the Judge Conseivator at the
latter place passed the following sentence :—" Sup-
posing the British subject, Dr. Kalley, to have dis-
turbed the public order of this island by preaching
doctrines opposed to its religion, as is sworn by the
witnesses ; and considering this preaching an abuse
which degenerates into crime ; nevertheless, the said
Dr. Kalley, as a Protestant, which he is, is not
punishable, seeing that there does not exist a law to
punish in the person of the accused the act charged.
I, therefore, declare the accusation given against the
said Dr. Kalley: irrelevant, and order him to be held
clear of guilt.'
Baffled on the religious question, Dr. Kalley's pro-
secutors, we understand, are going to institute pro-
ceedings against him as a disturber of the public
peace. On the other hand, Dr. Kalley, at the sug-
gestion of Lord Aberdeen, is about to petition the
Government at Lisbon, for compensation for the loss
of his professional income during his illegal im-
prisonment.
In the course of the proceedings before the tribunal
of Rellacao at Lisbon, the public prosecutor, acting
as counsel against Dr. Kalley, gave a very lucid ex-
position of the existing law of religious liberty in
Portugal, wherein he clearly showed that the supre-
macy of the Romish Church is no more, but that
Portuguese subjects enjoy the same iherty as
Englishmen do in all religious matters. He says,
" I do not characterise the accusation as bias
phemy, nor as heresy, because these crimes are
only considered such when committed by follow-
ers of the Roman Catholic apostolic religion,
and not by those who, like the appellant, follow a
different faith, and therefore, being, extra ccclesiam,
are beyond all censure civil and ecclesiastical. Nor
can I characterise it as apostacy, because I under-
stand that the crime of apostacy ceased to exist among
us in virtue of Article 145 of the Constitutional
Charter; in which ample religious liberty is guaran-
teed to Portuguese citizens in the following terms :
No one shall be prosecuted fur motives of religion ;'
wherein the absolute term no one' excludes all ex-
ception of persons, and the very broad expression for
motives of religion' embraces all that relates to the re •
ligious creed of every one ; and, therefore, if these
two citizens apostatised from our religion, though
they did greatinjury to their souls, yet they did not
commit any civil crime for which they can be pu-
nished."

The holiday train on the Dover' and Brighton
Railway came up last night crowded with passengers,
to the amount of a thousand persons. The day was as
fine as could be wished, and all parties seemed to have
enjoyed the day's trip to the utmost. The arrange-
ments made by the Company were in every way com-
plete, and the great number conveyed at so rapid
a rate for so many miles without accident is,
perhaps, as great a proof of the safety of steam
conveyance as has ever been furnished. The
town of Dover has enjoyed a large share of the
patronage of the Londoners in their brief interval of
leisure. The cliffs, the beach, and the Channel breezes,
seem to have. had irresistible charms for the many in
" populous city pent," for they have availed themselves
of the opportunity of visiting them in hundreds. The
ancient Cinque-port has rarely seen such gaiety as it has
witnessed this Easter.
DARING FEAT.—Mr. Daly, the celebrated steeple-
chase rider, betted a wager with Mr. Sefton, of Grant-
ham,.that he would jump the rails and dyke in front of
the Lincoln stand with• the reins in his- -mouth and the
stirrups over the saddle; and which he cleverly (?) ac-
complished after the second race, on a horse he had not
creased before.—Stamford Paper.
