" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.

All the French Bishops are opposed to the Bill introduced
by the Government relative to education. "The King," says
the Univers, " has just received a memorial, signed by the
Archbishop and Bishops of the province of Tours, on the liberty
of instruction. The Archbishop of Tours, and the Bishops
of Mans, Angers, Nantes, St. Brieuc, Vannes, Rennes, and
Quimper unite their protests to those of the entire bench of
Bishops."
The Coastitutionnel has the following remarks relative to
the refractory Bishops :—" The clergy of France place them-
selves in a strange position. They neither acknowledge the
authority of the law, nor the decision of a jury, nor the
power of the Government. They set a sad example of con-
tempt of justice itself, and destroy ai far as they are able to
do so, the bends by which political society is ma►ntained."
The Globe Mentions a report that there will be two camps
formed in the approaching summer, one near Metz and the
other near Bordeaux—and that the Duke de Nemours is to
be Commander-in-Chief.

A letter of the llth inst., in the Algerie, gives some account
of the expedition under the Duke d'Aumale. The troops
arrived on the 26th ult. within 16 kilometres of El-Kantara.
They effected a razzia of 2,500 sheep and 80 horses on a
tribe who had attacked the expedition.
The French army at present amounts to 344,000 men, in-
cluding officers, and 83,416 horses. Of this total 284,000 men
and 69,520 horses form the divisions in France, and 60,000
men and 13,416 horses in Algeria.
From statistical returns, lately sent from Algiers, it ap-
pears that the European and native population of that city
and its faubourgs, up to October 1, 1843, was thus composed :
20,089 Europeans, 17,858 Mussulmans, 5,758 Jews, 1,067
negroes, making in all 44,772 inhabitants. Of this population
19,760 were Roman Catholics, 275 Protestants, 18,704 Maho-
metans, and 6,033 Israelites.
A letter from Jassy, without date, in the Berlin Gazette,
says :—" Prince Stourdja hits set at liberty all the serfs of the
convents, and the General Assembly of the States has given
its approbation to this measure. The establishment of steam
navigation on the Danube will augment the commercial rela
tions between Moldavia and the countries on the shores of
the Black Sea. The Russian Government proposes to esta-
blish a line of steam-packets between Galatz and Odessa, ex-
tending to Orsova, and will consequently take in Wallachia.
It is even said that a Russian post will be established oppo-
site Braila, to accelerate the intercourse with Constantinople."
The Universal Cassel Gazette contains a letter from fla-
nover, of the 11th, announcing that the Assembly of the
States will be closed by the end of May, and that the King
will immediately after repair to London. The States will
only be busied with financial measures, and amongst the rest
with the question of a loan of nine or ten millions of crowns
for the construction of railroads.
LAW AND POLICE.
At Newcastle on Monday, the adjourned inquest on the
body of Ann Sherwood, supposed to have been murdered by
her husband, was resumed, and, after hearing further evi-
dence, the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder,"
against the prisoner, Mark Sherwood. He was fully com-
mitted to take his trial at the next assizes. _ _

John Jones and George Brazier, were convicted at the
Surrey Sessions, of uttering counterfeit coin, and 'sentenced
to six months' imprisonment and hard labour.
Henry Humphries, a decent-looking mechanic, and who
had been in the service of the prosecutor during the last
seven years, was indicted' with feloniously stealing from the
dwelling-house of William Herring, at Chertsey, in this
county, on the 24th of February last, a diamond lattice win-
dow-frame, and a large quantity of ironmongery and various
other articles, his property, and found guilty. •
Alfred Hine, aged 22, also a workman in the employ of
the same prosecutor, was charged with feloniously stealing,
on the 24th of Februray last, a large quantity of bars of steel,
and a number of articles of ironmongery, the property of
William Herring, wholesale ironmonger, of Chertsey.—Ver-
dict, Guilty. The articles stolen were almost sufficient to
stock an ironmonger's shop, and amounted in value to up-
wards of 2001.—Sentence was deferred:

At Lambeth-street, Mr. Henry was occupied some hours
in investigating a charge against four persons named Gram-
mer, Estell, Wedge, and Pritchard, of being concerned in
burglariously breaking into the premises of Mr. Johnston, a
cigar-manufacturer, in Charlotte-street, Commercial-road
East, and stealing therefrom cigars to the amount of ninety
guineas. The prisoners were again remanded.
Charles Reynolds, a bricklayer, aged 27, and who has lived
in good repute in Stepney, was charged before Mr. Broderip,
at the Thames Police-office, with being a deserter from her
Majesty's forces, and with breaking out of St. Alban's gaol,
where he was confined• on a charge of felony, on the 29th of
July, 1837. He said that the witnesses who appeared to
identify him were mistaken in their man. Mr. Broderip
directed that the prisoner should be sent back to St. Alban's.
