ITER MAJESTY QUEEN ADELAIDE.—We under-
stand that the Queen Dowager, in the early part of the ensuing
month, will leave Ttin.hy Park, for Scotland, on a tour through the
Highlands, and we are informed will, during her progrevs there,
honour several noble families with visit.. Her lilajeatY will be a'.
companied by her illustrious sister, her Serene Htghness the
Duchess Ida of Saxe Weimar. We have no doubt but that her
Majesty will be heartily welcomed in the " land o' sakes." There
is no foundation for the report that our gracious Sovereign content.
plates going to Scotland this next auttnn.—Reraza,

against the rights of man, the faith of treaties, the
honour of governments, and the laws of GOD, caught
abroad in the fact and among the evidences of their own
delinquencies, and afterwards proceeded against to the
extreme penalty of this most righteous law.

If we had owed any apology to our readers for the
frequency of our protests against the Board of Trade
Railways' Committee, and the weiatisfactery decisions
and vexatious proceedings to which its absurd constitu-
tion and still more preposterous powers have given
rise, we should be absolved from that liability by the.
decision of the Government, annourced by the Earl
of DALHOUSIE, in the House of Lords, on Friday. The
Committee is extinguished. It is "fancies officio." All
its fantastic arrangements, its " groups," from "A "
to " Z," which used to excite the risibility of those who
were so fortunate as not to bs brought within the ex-
pensive operation of them, and made those who were
sigh deeply over the certain prospect of continuous
sacrifices of time, trouble, money, patience, and
temper, whilst the: é' new blown, and short•liv.d
Commissioners were hearing evidence upon, and
taking lessens on the mystery of gradients and
le% els, and at the same time deciding upon the con-
flicting pretensions of competing lines—all are ever.
Atmospheric line, No. 23, 11, no longer figures in the
same quadrille with 24 to 30 ; but narrow gauge I 7, and
wide gauge H 16, in a " dos-a-dos," are equally propelled
out of the snug railway bureau at the Board, the one by
the Whitehall door, the other by the aide wicket into
Downing-street ; and the " sets" have all to form again,
after the old fashion, in Committee-rooms of the House
of Commons. To pursue this dancing " figure," so ir-
resistibly suggested by the affectation, never before heard
of in legislative business, of " groups," the " Lower
Rooms" follow the example of the "' Upper Rooms."
The House of COMMOIIS has had a " Railway Soirée"
as well as the House of Lords. It has produced its
Select Committees' Report on the petition presented a
few nights ago, implicating two important officers of the
Board of Ordnance, and the solicitor of that board, in
transactions connected with speculations in the scrip
and shares of railway companies, more especially the
South-Eastern, and the North Kent lines, of a character
strongly tinctured with matters of grave suspicion.
The particulars of these transactions have been given
in the report of the Committee appointed to investigate
the petition of the South-Eastern Railway Company.
To that report, therefore, with the evidence of klr. Bosf-
11A31, Captain BOLDERO, and Mr. WRAY, we refer our
readers, in. order that they may judge for themselves.
We may merely state that, with regard to Captain
BOLDER°, Clerk of Ordnance, it is evident from the re-
port that Mr. IshareETT's written allegations were utterly
unfounded in fact. We lament that any Members of
Parliament should put themselves in so false a position
as the Gallant Captain has done by dealing in railway
shares, especially when he happens to bold office under
the Crown. But his transactions in them were, at any
rate, so far as the evidence goes, perfectly genuine ; the
shares paid for, and the dealings bona fide. Mr. BONHAM
gives an intelligible account of the mode in which he came
by his 300 L While, at the same time, it cannot be denied
that he acted imprudently in accepting profits on shares
in a line with respect to which he had deliberated and
voted as a Member of the Legislature. It is no excuse
that others have done the same, and that many votes
have been influenced by self-interest. The Member of
a Committee should be above suspicion ; he should not
lead himself into temptation, nor risk his integrity and
good fame for paltry gain.

The ordinary session of the Swiss Diet was opened at
Zurich on the 7th inst. The whole of the foreign
Ministers, with the exception of the POPE'S Nuncio, were
present. The following address was delivered by M.
FURRER, the President :
" You recollect, Gentlemen, that the majority of the Cabi-
nets which maintain diplomatical relations with Switzerland,
have, on the occasion of the disturbances that occurred in
March last, aad of the armed aggression against a confede
rated State, manifested lively apprehensions, some by
friendly exhortations, and others by more serious
representations upon the consequences that might
possibly accrue from those events. If our country
has, on the one hand, a right to expect from
the justice cf friendly Powers that no impedi-
ment should be opposed to the spontaneous and independent
development of its external relations ; on the other hand, we
can only claim that right, as far as we are concerned, when
we conscientiously and scrupulously observe the precepts of
international law, and tolerate the existence of no element
calculated to compromise tranquillity or friendly intercourse
with other states. We may, nevertheless, derive confi-
dence from our serious determination to repress anarchical
movements, and from our possessing, notwithstanding the
great agitation excited by so many conflicting elements, the
nece.sary power of energetically preventing the recurrence of
acts of that nature. We may consequently hope that a good
understanding will continue to subsist unaltered between the
Confederation and the foreign Powers, and I find the cheering
proof of it in the presence of their worthy representatives at
the solemnity of this day."

We have intelligence from Madrid and Barcelona to the
6th inst. That from the capital is without interest, but from
Barcelona and several districts of Catalonia we have accounts
of serious disturbances, caused by the determination of the
Government to extend the conscription to that province-
Several persons had been killed, and fears were entertained
that the spirit of resistance might extend to other districts.
The subjoined is an abridged account of these unfortunate
events :—" The Government transmitted to Captain-General
CONCHA orders to have the recruitment lists drawn this year
at Barcelona, as in the rest of Spain. On the day appointed
for the drawing opposition was manifested in several
points at the same time, in the neighbourhood of Barcelona,
at nolins- de-Rey, San Andres, Sabadell, Tarassa, Bada-
l-na, Esparraguera, Colders, and San Felice de Renon. At
Badalona the lists were burnt, and two agents of public safety
killed; at Tarassa the Alcade was assassinated; at San
Andres the inhabitants dispersed the authorities with musket
shots; at Molins- de-Rey the people stopped the post,
the public diligences, and the couriers. This little town
being situated at four leagues from Barcelona, in the high
road to Madrid by Saragossa, all communications are for the
moment interrupted. At Sabadell, only five leagues from
Barcelona, the Ultra-Progressists, profitting by the popular
irritation, had already endeavoured to instal a central junta,
in the name of ESPARTEIIO, and formed a body of two
thousand armed men. This news having been transmitted
rapidly to Barcelona, the Captain-General set out the same
day at the head of a column of infantry and cavalry, sup-
ported by some pieces of cannon. The insurgents were
driven from Sabadell, with a loss of twenty-five killed,
and several taken prisoners. The General pursued
them to Tarassa, and they are now flying through
the mountains. At Barcelona, where the two Queens
and some of the Ministers still are, tranquillity had not
bsen troubled. It now appears certain that the QUEZN will
visit the Basque provinces. The Court is to set out for Sara-
gossa on the 18th. It is to be at Pampeluna on the 25th,
for the anniversary of the Queen-Mother's fete, and thence
will proceed to Gilboa. The President of the Council and the
Minister of Foreign Affairs will accompany the two Queens
to that place.

The Paris papers are much occupied with the de-
plorable crime committed by a French officer (Celonel
Peeieseeß) arid a l arty of sold') rs at a place called
Dehara, in Algeria. It appears th )t this Colonel PELTS
BIER was engaged in pursuing the Ouled-Riahs a liabel
tribe who have never been eutelued, because the country
they inhabit contains immense caverns—real labyrinths
—wherein it would be downright marines.) to lead
assailing troops. The Oulecl-Rialis, seeing that they
were closely pursued, hastened to their habitual refuges.
1 This happened on the forenoon of the 18th of June.
After surrounding the grottos, some fascines were made
up, which were kindled and placed at the entrance of the
grottos. After this demonstration, which was madein order
to let those people know that they would all be suffocated
in their caverns, the Colonel ordered letters to 'be flung
to them, in which they were told that their lives would
be spared and liberty restored if they surrendered their
arms and horses. They first refused, and subse-
quently replied that they would comply with the de-
mand, if the French army previously withdrew to a dis-
tance. This condition was rejected ; and, after various
attempts to subdue the fugitives, burning faggots were
thrown into the cavern, and, according to some accounts,
eight hundred men, women and children, perished.
The following description of the awful scene on the 20th
is given by the I?efornie:—" On the morning of that day
there remained but a mass of half consumed ashes, and
nothing more was to be heard. We determined on
entering the grotto. How can we describe the shocking
aspect it presented ? The cattle, rendered furious,
crushing all around them—the men and women rushing
about in order to escape being suffocated and gored. We
had to walk twenty steps over the bodies of the dead
and dying. A thousand human beings were heaped up
in this channel without an outlet. At the bottom of it
were bodies standing up with their faces sticking to the
fissures that they might breathe. About seventy who
had survived expired the moment they were brought
into the open air ; others were killed by the
fragments of rocks the heat had detached. A
large number had received yataghan cuts, and bore
the marks of deep wounds. A terrible struggle
had, no doubt, taken place in the cavern, in that
profound darkness. Already have nearly six hundred
elead bodies been extracted from the grotto ; there are-
many more which it has been impossible to get at. Eight
hundred men, women, and children, have perished. The
whole tribe of the Itiahs is exterminated." With one or
two exceptions the Paris press express the utmoht indig-
ieelea et such barbarities. Ample pert:tellers respect-
