We have the utmost satisfaction in announcing,
that according to dispatches from Mr. Bulwer, her
Majesty's Minister at Madrid, dated the 11th instant,
and received in. London yesterday, the treaty for the
cessation of hostilities between France and Morocco
had been signed, the terms being the same in sub-
stance as those offered in the original ultimatum.
This intelligence was brought from Gibraltar, in the
Hecla steamer, by Colonel Barrie, of the British Le-
gation in Madrid. Before the Hecla left Gibraltar,
a French warner had been dispatched to Mogadore to
order the immediate evacuation of the island of which
the French troops have been in possession since the
bombardment ,of the town. The news transmitted
by the French telegraph, and with respect to which
some misgiving was felt, is thus entirely confirmed.—

properly attested, is at length forthcoming, and
that a family -in Worcestershire, of humble respect-
ability are likely, as heirs-at-law, to become possessed
of Mr. Wood's enormous wealth.

OF THE STRUCTURE AT KING'S-CROSS.—
For some time past, in consequence of many accidents
which have resulted from that certainly not very orna-
mental structure at the end of Gray's Inn-road and the
New-road, St. Pancras, known as the King's Cross, the
vestry of St. Pancras have had in contemplation its re-
moval. To add to the danger resulting from the erec-
tion of such a structure in the centre of a spot where no
fewer than half a dozen roads meet, and where so much
traffic exists, the Cross, in addition to its conversion
into a beer-shop, has recently had its upper apartment
converted into an exhibition of camera obscura. This
causes a large number of persons to assemble, and great
obstruction is the result. The Inhabitants residing in
the immediate vicinity of King's-cross, as also most of
the Paddington and other omnibus proprietors, have re-
cently presented a memorial to the vestry upon the sub-
ject, and a committee have been appointed with a view
to effect the entire removal of the structure. To this,
however, it is expected considerable opposition will be
made on the part of the present holder of the premises,
as it is stated he possesses a lease from the party to
whom the site was originally granted by the parish, and
that hating
once given such site, the parish have no
power to take it away again. The committee of the
vestry have not yet reported, but it is understood that
in the event of their recommending the removal of the
Cross, the vestry are determined to carry out the demo-
lition of the structure forthwith.
BALLOON ASCENT AT BROMLEY, KENT.—On
Wednesday evening Mr. Hampton, the intrepid aeronaut,
ascended from the gardens of the White Hart Inn,
Bromley. It being the first balloon ascent that has been
made in this tomn. the inhabitants manifested consider-
able interest in the aeronautic exhibition. At half-past
five o'clock the monster balloon ascended most ma-
jestically, and afforded the highly respectable spectators
great delight and satisfaction. Mr. Wells, who is en-
thusiastically fond of ballooning, again accompanied Mr.
Hampton. The aeronauts, after a pleasant and expe-
ditious journey, descended safely on Purley Down, a
few miles from Croydon. After packing the balloon,
Mr. Hampton and Mr. Wells dined with George Smith,
Esq., at Selsdon, and were treated with the greatest
kindness and hospitality by that gentleman. There are
two things worthy of remark in this ascent. The first
is, that a balloon of very large dimensions was filled at
Mr. M. Hutchison, brother to the celebrated
engineerßmr l Bromley by
of Vauxhall. It frequently happens that bal-
loons get but an imperfect supply of gas in many large
towns ; great praise, therefore, is due to Mr. Hutchison
for having attempted and completed the inflation. The
sec )nd fact to be mentional is, that the balloon travelled
ten miles in ten minutes, there being a fresh north-
ratterly wind. The balloon, however, was secured
with ease, owing to Mr. Hampton's improvements.
Mr. J. C. Belaney is said to be now on a visit in
the family of a gentleman at Cleadon, near South
Shields.—Tyne Mercury.
