FOREIGN.
The Duke d'Aumale arrived at Toulon on the 15th.
At twelve o'clock the landing took place under a salute
of twenty-one guns from the vessels, which was re
turned from the batteries of the town: The l)uke wore
a Lieutenant-General's uniform, with the kepi in use in
the army of Africa. He appeared in good health, though
somewhat fatigued with the passage. A great crowd
flocked to view the cortege as it passed.
The Toulonnais states that much activity prevailed in
that port. The Suffren has been taken into dock to be
repaired as well as the Gemappes. The latter vessel;
which suffered severely at Mogadore, bears the trace of
several• cannon shot. The Gemappes will be ready for
sea before the end of the month. The ship of the lint
Triton suffered but little ; she has, however, need of
some repairs. The Inflexible, man-of-war, which is to
remain on the Morocco station, has sailed. The steam-
frigate Gregeois arrived on the 14th in our port ; she
lost her commander, M. Fortin, who died of consump-
tion on the Bth inst.
A letter from Otaheite relates the following :—" A
short time before the affair of Mahahena, a duel was
fought at the Marquesas, between M. Bertholin' and M.
Menard, both enseignes of the Somme. In the first ex-
change of shots M. Menard was wounded in the shoulder;
but, notwithstanding the earnest prayers of M. Bertholin,
insisted on having the pistols reloaded. At the second
discharge M. Menard received his adversary's ball in the
body, and fell dead. M. Bertholin has been brought to
Otaheite under arrest."
The late heavy rains have caused considerable damage
in the French provinces. The Ardeche has overflowed
its banks, and the Rhone has burst down the new dykes
at St. Esprit. At Beaucaire the Rhone covered the plain
where the fair is held. Three bridges and three milk,
have been carried away at Vallerangue. The river has
risen so high that all the shops on the quay have been
injured, the water having mottled the first floor. The
Garden has also overflowed. •
The Belgian Chambers will meet on the 29th instant.
They will be
-epened by the King in person.
At the last sitting of the States of Hungary, the pro-
position of extending the land-tax to the nobles was re-
jected by a majority of 33 to 13.

rete died on the Bth inst. at Madrid.

--
Barnes, the carpenter's mate, who was last week
sentenced to be hanged, by the Court-martial
held on board her Majesty's ship, San Josef,
remains on board that ship a close prisoner. The
state of mind of this poor fellow was for a considerable
time after the termination of the proceedings wretched
in the extreme. He was a prey to the wildest
fancies, and appeared to imagine that each person en-
tering his place of confinement, came to summon him
to his fate. The humane visits, however, of Mr.
Beer, who was engaged as his counsel at the Court-
martial, and thoe of other parties, relieved him from
such feelings. There has been no order received
from the Admiralty, but after the result of the Court-
martial, held on the Boatswain, there can be no doubt
entertained that a reprieve, if not a free pardon, will
he extended towards him within a few days.—Devon-
port Telegraph.
ATTEMPTED MURDER IN THE CITY.--Shortly
after one o'clock yesterday morning, one of the most
determined attempts at murder took place in St. Paul's
Church-yard, that has ever been heard of. The object
(if attack was Collins, of the City police, whose beat has
been of late a meeting place for prostitutes and thieves.
The inspectors and Collins have been the means of re-
moving some, but other persons have taken their situa-
tions. Yesterdi y morning, about half-past one, Collins
was walking on his beat, when suddenly a tall, stout
fellow, about six feet high, tripped the officer up. lie
fell heavily, but not being at the time insensible he endea-
voured to draw his truncheon, when his assailant, stand-
ing over him, unfortunately got possession of it, and
struck him several blows over the head. Shortly after-
wards the officer was found bleeding profusely from his
wounds, and quite insensible. The wounded man was
conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he re-
mained when our informant left, without the least hope
of recovery. The murderous assailant has since been
apprehended by the police.
THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AN ETON BOT.— On
Saturday last the. Duke of Wellington, whilst on a visit
to her Majesty at. Windsor Castle, walked to Eton Col-
lege, accompanied by the Duke of Rutland, for the ex-
press purpose of inspecting the room in the house of his
" dame" which the Galle,ut Duke occupied when an
Eton boy. The house, known as the manor-house, is
now in the occupation of the Rev. Mr. Bulston, one of
the masters of the College, arid the " Duke's" room is
occupied by an Etonian, the sou of Mr. Mulkey, the
banker. The Noble Duke remained in the room some
time, contemplating the scenes of his Eton days, and
was much gratified in recognising and pointing out to his
companion several relics which were familiar to his
Grace's recollection, although it is sixty-five years since
he occupied this apartment.
