ANOTHER DISTRESSING ACCI-
DENT AT PLYMOUTH.
EIGHT LIVES LOST.
It is our painful duty again this week to record an
event which has thrown several families into the greatest
state of affliction, by the death of eight persons, who
were drowned yesterday (Wednesday) while sailing in
a boat over the ridge of rocks which stretches from
Drake's Island to Mount Fdgcuwbe, and which is com-
monly known by the name of " The Bridges." It is
well known the passage over this ridge of rocks is at-
tended with peril even in fine weather, at certain periods
of the tides, but more especially so in tempest and
storm. The accident to which we refer, and which,
as we have before stated, involved the loss of eight
fellow-creatures, took place under the following me-
lancholy circumstances :—A married female, named
Amelia Smart, and who resided at Devonport, hired a
boat, under the management of two watermen early in
the morning, fur the purpose of proceeding into the Sound
to bid farewell to her husband, who was about to leave
this port as a seaman on board the Rhadamanthus
steamer. She reached her destination in safety, and
having had an affectionate interview with him, she bade
him adieu, and the watermen then proceeded to the Re
sistance troop-ship, one of them having a brother-in-law
on board that vessel, and whom he was very desirous to
see. While the boat lay alongside the Resistance, an ap-
plication was made by several of the seamen on board to
their commander, for leave to go on shore ; and this
favour having been granted to eight of them, they left in
the watermen's boat, full of spirits, in anticipation of
speedily joining their friends in Devonport ; but, alas !
these fervent hopes were never realised, for, on reaching
Drake's Island, while sailing dead before the wind, a heavy
sea rolled over the stern of their frail bark (at the time
overladened) which swamped her, and she immediately
capsized, precipitating the whole of the party into the
water, three df 'whoin alone remain to give a statement of
the melanchOly catastrophe—two of the seamen and one
of the boatmen. One of the bodies (the female)
was picked up a short time after the acci-
dent, and conveyed to Mutton Cove, and another
(a youngster named Cummings) was washed on
shore, at the island, where a Coroner's in-
quest will be held on it as soon as the boisterous weather
at present prevailing shall have subsided, so as to
permit of the safe transit of the Coroner on his melan-
choly errand. Three out of eleven were providentially
saved. The event, when taken in connexion with the
melancholy loss of life which occurred within one mile
of the island last week, while it cannot but call forth
the sympathies of the public for the bereaved, appears
to us to demand the recognition of the unsearchable and
absolute providence of the Most High.
The names of the unfortunate persons who have by
this accident met with an untimely end, are—Thomas
Mayne, seaman on board her Maje Sty's ship Resistance;
Cummings, ditto; Holberton, ditto; Thomas,
ditto; Liscornbe, ditto; Atwill, waterman, plying
at Mutton Cove; and Amelia Smart, wife of a seaman
on board her Majesty's ship Rhadamanthus.
An inquest was held by A. Bone, Esq., Coroner, at
Devonport, last ;night, on the body of the unfortunate
woman, whose body has been brought ashore, and the
jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death by drown-
ing."—Plymouth Journal.

deserted, and grass-grown. Now, as if by magic, there
is a splendid ball-room, 100 feet long, by 45 feet broad,
lined with the richest coloured flags, embellished in the
neatest, yet elegant style, and having a beautiful floor,
where the graceful evolutions on the " light fantastic
toe" can be indulged in to the heart's content. Proceed
to the end of this room on either side, and under a screen
composed of flags festooned with many-coloured bunt-
ing, and you behold what on Saturday last was more
like an uninhabited cellar than anything else, turned
into an elegantly furnished and most comfortable ball-
room. The pillars are covered with ensigns, so twisted
round that the colours alternately present themselves to
view. Tables are ranged all round, affording a free
passage on each side, and others are placed in the
centre. The floor is carpeted with canvas. The whole
presents a most elegant appearance. Both these elegant
apartments require the brilliant uniforms of the distin-
guished officers of the united services of France and
England to complete the picture.

WINDSOR, TUURSDAY.—At the royal banque
yesterday evening, the Queen had on her right his
Royal Highness the Duke de Montpensier and the
Lady in Waiting, the Countess of Gainsborough ;
and on her left were his Majesty Louis Philippe, her
Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Lord Chan-
cellor, and the Countess Delawarr.

THE DUKE DE LA VICTORIA
TO HIS COUNTRYMEN.

On the 10th of October, 1844, her Majesty Queen
Isabel 11. is constitutionally called upon, in con-
formity with the fundamental law of the monarchy,
to begin to govern the kingdom. On this day, dis-
charging a pledge of loyalty, honour, and conscience,
I was to have placed in her Majesty's hands the
royal authority which the Cortes, in virtue of their
constitutional prerogative, had deposited in mine.

His Royal Highness Prince Albert and the Coun-
tess of Gainsborough, Lady in Waiting, occupied the
hird seat.

And General Athalin and Count Dumas, in atten-
dance on his Majesty Louis Philippe, were in the
last seat.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the
Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklen-
burgh Strelitz, left Kew yesterday afternoon on a
visit to her Majesty at 'Windsor Castle, attended by
Baron Knesebeck. •

From the moment the national will selected me
amongst my fellow-citizens to elevate me to the
Regency, I looked forward to this day as to the
brightest of my public station, when, from the
pinnacle of supreme power, I was to have descended
to the quietude of domestic life, devoting my last
words to the banner of the Constitution which the
people had raised to recover their liberties—that
glorious banner under which the people had shed
their blood, and with which they had, twice during
the present age, saved the dynasty of their Sove-
reigns. Providence, however, has not allowed the
accomplishment of my hopes; and instead of speak-
ing to you surrounded by the splendour of a royal
and solemn ceremony, I address you from my exile.
It is well known that there never was a more open,
free, and general discussion, than that which pre-
ceded my appointment as Regent; I accepted the
trust, not as a mural crown granted to victories, but
as a trophy placed by the people on the banner of
liberty. A faithful observer of the laws, I never
transgressed them ; I neglected nothing tending to
the welfare of the country ; every law presented to
me by the Cortes, I readily sanctioned—the free
action of justice was uncontrolled by the Government,
which never usurped the functions of the other public
authorities—and the sources of riches and prosperity
received all the encouragement and protection which
circumstances permitted. If, at any time, in order to
maintain the purity of the law, I was compelled to
have recourse to strong measures, it was justice, not
the government, that decided on the fate of the hap-
less. I shall not descend to the details of my conduct
as Regent—history will do me justice, and I submit
to its inflexible judgment. History will say, with that
impartiality not easy to be exercised by my contem-
poraries, whether I ever aspired to anything but the
welfare of my country, or was moved by any other
thought than that of delivering, on this day, into her
Majesty's hands, a nation prosperous within, and re-
spected abroad. History will show whether, in the
midst of the vehement contests of parties, I ever fol-
lowed any other device but that of saving liberty, the
throne, and the laws, from the violence of contending
passions. History will also explain the causes
which arrested the completion of many useful
reforms. When new disturbances were being
prepared, I omitted nothing within the compass
of the law to counteract them. I shall not
look back, nor attempt to depict, the mournful events
we must all deplore, and which, leaving me without
the means of resistance, compelled me to seek an
asylum in this hospitable land, protesting, before-
hand, in the name of the sanctity of the law, and of
the righteousness of the cause.

Lord Charles Wellesley (Equerry in Waiting on
the King) and Colonel Bouverie (Equerry in Wait-
ing on Prince Albert) attended on horseback.
The char-a-bane, drawn by four horses, imme-
diately drove off, outriders in scarlet liveries pre-
ceding.

The Duke of Cambridge returned to Kew on Wed-
nesday night from town.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer arrived in town
yesterday morning from Beechworth, Surrey. The
Earl of Lonsdale, Postmaster-General, and Mr. J.
Wood, Chairman of the Board of Excise, had inter-
views with the Right Hon. Gentleman at his official
residence in Downing-street. In the afternoon the
Chancellor of the Exchequer left town for Windsor
Castle, on a visit to her Majesty.
Lord and Lady Wharncliffe returned to town yes-
terday morning from Windsor Castle.
Dispatches were sent off yesterday from the Colo-
nial-office for the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope.

The royal and august party were attended to the
grand entrance by the Duke of Buccleuch, the Earl
of Aberdeen, the Marquis of Exeter, Earl of Liver-
pool, Earl Delawarr, Viscount Canning, Viscount
Sydney, Lord Byron, Hon. Captain Duncombe, Lord
George Lennox, Sir Frederick Stovin, Captain F.
Seymour, and Major-General Wemyss.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the
Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, were taken

Monday next.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge, attended by Lady Georgiana Bathurst and
Baron Knesebeck, arrived at the Castle from Kew in
the afternoon, on a visit to the Queen.

STAMP AND TAX-OFFICE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.—
A general meeting of this Society, which is confined to
parties holding permanent employment under the Com-
missioners of her Majesty's Stamps and Taxes, was held
in one of the large rooms of the Stamp and Tax-office,
Somerset House, for the election of officers and general
business, Joseph Harris, Esq., supervisor and founder, in
the chair. The statement of accounts was submitted by
Mr. Alexander Roy, the secretary, who, in an appro-
priate address, congratulated the members on the con-
tinued prosperity of the society, and its increase both in
numbers and amount of capital From correspondence
with almost all parties eligible to the society, he had
little doubt that ultimately all would avail themselves of
its advantages. He referred particularly to a communi-
cation from John Caird, Esq., Receivinglnspector, Perth,
a zealous friend of the cause. Mr. Roy then read ex-
tracts from Mr. Caird's letters, explainiag the views of
that gentleman, and urging the necessity of general sup-
port to the society. Mr. Ray further drew attention to
the list of members printed with the statement of ac-
counts, and eulogised the kind assistance rendered by
many in the higher departments of the Stamp and Tax-
office, who were anxious that the society's benefits should
be rendered available to every person connected with
the establishment.

Their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Grand
Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz also ar-
rived from Kew on a visit to her Majesty.
The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, and the Speaker
of the House of Commons, arrived from town to-day
on a visit.

His Serene Highness Prince Ernest of llesse
Philippsthal arrived at the Castle on a visit to her
Majesty.
General Rumigni and Count de Chabannes went'
out shootinc, this forenoon in the royal preserves.
The royal° and august party in the char-a bane,
after leaving Windsor Castle, went through Staines
and Sunbury-common to Twickenham, to the house
'formerly occupied by his Majesty when residing in
this country, and now in the occupation of the Earl of
Mornington.
From Twickenham the illustrious party drove
through Hampton Court to Claremont, where a
dejeune was served to the Queen and Prince Albert,
the King of the French, the Duchess of Kent, the
Duke de Montpensier, and to the Lady in Waiting,
and the gentlemen of the suite.
After viewing the royal gardens and the park at
Claremont, his Majesty Louis Philippe and the
Queen, the Duke de Montpensier and the Duchess of
Kent, Prince Albert and the Countess of Gains-
borough, and General Athalin and Count Dumas,
re-entered the char-a-banc, and took their departure,
returning by the route of Chertsey to Frogmore
Lodge, where the Duchess of Kent alighted. From
Frogmore the august party drove to the Castle.
On alighting at the grand entrance the Queen and
Prince Albert, the King of the French and the Duke
de Montpensier, were received by their Royal High-
nesses the Duke of Cambridge and the Hereditary
Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, who had
arrived at the Castle a short time previous, and also
by the noblemen and gentlemen of the; household in
waiting.
The Duke of Cambridge and the Hereditary Grand
Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz accompanied the
Queen and her illustrious guests up the grand
staircase.

LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY,--We understand
that Mr. Cubitt, the engineer of this undertaking, has
sanctioned a deviation of the original line which will do
away with the objections, on the part of the supporters
of the turf, regarding the danger of bringing the line too
near the Race Ground. The line will pass east of Rot-
ford and Bawtq, through Piper Wood, west of Rossing-
ton, between High and Low Ellers, across the Low Pas-
ture, between Carr House and Belle Vue, across the
turnpike road between Belle Vue and Bennetthorpe,
across the Town Feld, near Christ Church, and so on to
Docken Hill, &c. The Wakefield branch will commence
at the last-named place.—Doncaster Gazette.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—NONE NEED BE SICK ! READ
THE FOLLOWING CASE OF CURE BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.

—Mrs. Jessie Anderson, living near the Fountain-bridge,
Edinburgh, suffered from lowness of spirits, sick head-
aches, dimness of sight, together with a want of strength
and appetite. These symptoms were accompanied with
a cough and spitting of phlegm, and likewise much
windy spasms. No medicine had been of any service
to her, until a lady advised her to try " Holloway's
Pills," which gave her immediate relief, and in a fort-
night made her as well as well -as ever she was in her
life. Sold (also Holloway's Ointment) at the Establish-
ment of Professor Holloway, 244, Strand (where advice
may be had gratis), and by almost all respectable vendors
of medicine throughout the civilised world.

Spaniards—l protested, not urged by any motives
of ambition, which I never contemplated, but be-
cause the dignity of the nation, and of the crown,
thus required it at my hands. As the constitutional
representative of the throne, I could not silently see
the destruction of the monarchical principle ; entrusted
with royal authority, I was bound to guard it against
every aggression ; invested with executive power, it
was my duty to raise my voice when I beheld all the
laws trampled under foot. The aim of my protest
was to avoid the pernicious precedent of coun-
tenancing, in the name of the throne, the destruction
of the throne itself. It was not a war-cry—it spoke
not to passions or parties—it was the plain statement
of a fact, the defence of principles, and an appeal to
posterity. Removed from you, Spaniards, the
slightest complaint in the kingdom has found an
echo in my breast—not a single victim has been
bereft of my compassion.

Dinner was served this evening in St. George's
Hall. The royal banquet presented a display of mag-
nificence and splendour equal to that on the preceding
evening.
In the middle of the table, opposite to the royal
circle, was the " St. George Candelabrum," exhibiting
the combat of St. George and the Dragon, forming a
most conspicuous and magnificent central ornament,
being far superior in size to the other candelabra and
epergnes. With this exception, and also that of two of
the " Hesperides" candelabra, which were placed near
each end of the table, the entire plateau was formed
of epergnes, supporting flowers. On both sides of the
plateau were a row of candelabra, filled with wax
lights, lighting the royal banquet in the most brilliant
manner.

TH. BOROUGIIDRIDGE MURDER.—APPREHENSION
OF THE MURDERERS IN NEWCASTLE.—In a paragraph
in another column will be found an account of a heartless
murder, committed at Boroughbridge, on the night of
Saturday, the 28th ult. The victim was Mr. William
Inchbald, of Dunsforth, who was returning home from
market ; and the supposed assassin was William Kea-
drew, a young man, apparently under 30 years of age.
From inquiries made, it was ascertained that Kendrew
had travelled towards Newcastle, in company with his
brother, John Kendrew (or, as he called himself, John
Palmer), who is a shoemaker. Information was for-
warded to this town, and amongst others the police ap-
plied to Mr. Blakey, shoemaker, Side, in case any per-
sons answering the description should apply at his shop
for employment. The description of the murderer was
rather marked. He was dressed in a waistcoat with
fustian sleeves, cord trousers, and a kind of brown and
green worsted skull cap, with leather peak. Mr. Blakey
very promptly and very creditably sent a workman to the
Old Robin Hood public-house, where the Shoemakers'
Society is held, thinking they would apply there for re-
lief. About ten minutes after the arrival of the work-
men the persons appeared, and by some promises they
were induced to remain until Mr. Blakey sent policemen
to apprehend them. They were safely lodged in gaol,
and were yesterday sent in the custody of some of, our
policemen, to undergo an examination before the proper
authorities at Boroughbridge. John Kendrew is a de-
serter from the 12th regiment of foot, and formerly
worked at Newcastle.—Newcastle Advertiser.

The table was also ornamented with the splendid
service of gold plate, including wing-coolers and large
dishes, all of them of the most elegant forms, and
richly chased and sculptured.
In front of the west sideboard was placed the head
and front paws of the royal tiger couchant, which
formerly supported the canopy of the throne of the
Sultan of Mysore. The eyes, tusks, and the claws of
the figure are of rock crystal ; the rest of the head and
paws are covered with platen of pure gold.
The vase bears this inscription :
" This Trophy was taken at the storming of Se-
ringapatam IV. May, MDCCXCIX.
Richard Earl of Mornington then Governor Gene-
ral of India.

When circumstances may allow me to return to
my beloved country, I, as one issued from the people,
shall again dwell among the people—unmoved either
by rancour or recollections, satisfied with the share
which has fallen to my lot in securing public freedom,
the enjoyment of its advantages will be my only
desire in my private station—but, if the institutions
recovered by the Spaniards should be endangered, the
nation, to whose call I have ever responded, shall find
me ready to offer my life in her support. If Provi-
dence, however, in its inscrutable decrees, should
doom me to die in exile, resigned to my fate, my
last and most fervent prayers will be for the inde-
pendence, the liberty, and the glory of my country.

TROTTING MATCH FOR TWENTY POUNDS A SIDE.

The State Standards of Tippoo Sultan, also cap-
tured at Seringapatam, were placed over the Tiger's
head; and on each side were candelabra filled with
wax lights, ornamented with Oriental figures and
emblems.

—Yesterday the twelve miles trotting match, in harness,
between Mr. Haynes's brown gelding and Mr. Oliver's
Chesnut mare, cause off over two miles of road on Wim-
bledon-common. At the start they went away at a
slashing pace, and performed the first two miles neck
and neck in eight minutes. When they had trotted six
miles they were pulled, and having been refreshed they
resumed their journey, and when within half a mile of
the winning goal the mare was 200 3 ards in advance.
She broke into a gallap and was turned. This enabled
the gelding to pass her. However, she was quickly at
work, and succeeded in passing her opponent, and came
in the winner by 150 yards. The twelve miles were
trotted in 48 minutes. . _ _

The east sideboard contained a number of large and
handsome shields, salvers, urns, vases, statuettes, tan-
kards, and vases of gold, brilliantly illuminated with
candelabra and sconces.

ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—Last even-
ing closed the season at this beautiful place of amuse-
ment, and we congratulate the proprietor on one of the
most successful seasons since their establishment. The
Fire of London blazed with tenfold grandeur, and Mr.
Southby was so surpassing in his farewell, that we were
induced to wish for another, and another. The exer-
tions and liberality of the new proprietor are an earnest
of what we may expect next season. The subject, we
are told, will be one of unusual splendour and interest,
and already great alterations in the grounds have com-
menced. Mr. Ranson leaves London shortly to make
drawings for the new subject, which will be immediately
put in hand, so as to be able to open at Easter. Mr.
Southby visits the Continent for the purposes of his art,
and Mr. Godfrey is completing arrangements with foreign
composers, so as to secure an early succession of the
best musical productions. We may mention, that since
the Gardens have been under Mr. Tyler's direction, 149
animals and birds have been added to the Zoological Col-
lection ; among them are two ostriches, alioneess,
Thet;vo
leopards, a tucan, two king vultures, is.c &c.
Model of Venice, the Daylight View of London in the
Olden Time, and the Zoological Collection, will continue
open for a short time longer.
SEIZURE OF A Snir.—On Tuesday last the Nau-
tilus, of Aberayvon, was seized in Castlotown Harbour,
Isle of Man, having on board a quantity of contraband
spirits, tea, tobacco, soap, candles, and sugar.

The company consisted of his Majesty Louis Phi-
lippe, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent,
their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge, their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary
Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz,
h's Royal Highness the Duke de hlontpensier, his

A thief was caught in a curious trap a few days ago,
at Amiens. One of the men belonging to the soap manu-
factory of M. Frechin heard a noise in the oil vat, for
which he could not account, and, therefore, went to a: cer-
tain the cause. He found a man, who was a stranger to
the works, floating in the fatty fluid, and making efforts
to get out, which were defeated at every attempt, by his
being unable to make his grasp good at any pint, re-
ceiving at each, by falling back, a new unction. At
length, by due assistance, he was got out ; and, as the
account he gave of himself showed that he had fallen into
the vat in trying to make his way to the strong-box of
M. Frechin, the magistrates, justly considering it a
slippery trick, not sufficiently punished by his greasy
bath, committed him to prison, to which he was con-
ducted amidst the laughter of a crowd, highly amused
at the strange appearance he cut from his oleaginous

The return of the quarter's rvetrae has one dis-
tinguishing feature of a :a:.4 cheering description
—an increase in the Customs, compared with the corre-
sponding period of 1843, on the year, of 1,723,165/., and
on the quarter of 473,347/. This is the true pivot of
our national prosperity, and is the more gratifying when
the bold reductions aro considered which the Minister
was encouraged to make when supported by so grand a
reserve as the property-tax. Swift's remark, that in the
arithmetic of the Customs two and two do not always
make four, could not have a more apt and definite appli-
cation. In this case Sir Robert Peel's subtraction has
been turned into addition, and he has proved finance to
be his stronghold, whatever errors are to be found in his
general system of policy. A trifling decrease in the
Excise on the quarter is to be ascribed rather to grow-
ing habits of temperance in the lower orders than to
any diminution of means. It will bear, in fact, no other
construction, for activity reigns in almost all the depart-
ments of trade, and the wages of labour in the manu-
facturing districts have probably doubled in amount
within the past year. It is consolatory also, and another
good omen, to find that the Post-offic:, the great accu-
mulation of pennys, has advanced 82,000/. on the year,
and no less than 40,000/. on the quarter. The property-
tax, which shows an increase of 106,4131. on the year,
and a decrease of 89,193/. on the quarter, may be said
to have found its level, and to provoke no remark, except
to hope that under circumstances of such promising
augury we may soon get rid of it. In the present ac-
count is to be seen, moreover, the effect of the judicious
application of the surplus revenue in paying off defi-
ciency bills ; only about -2,500,0001. will be wanted to
meet the charge on the Consolidated Fund for the
quarter just ended. The total increase of the revenue
for the year is 1,395,3491., and on the quarter 520,9441.
But for the disadvantageous effect of the strange item
termed " miscellaneous," which has no proper place in
this account, the increase on the year would have been
returned at about 2,l6o,oool.—Times.

TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND

MOROCCO.

The Toulonnais of the 6th gives the following as being
;he text of the treaty with Morocco, which the French
Government have hitherto abstained from publishing:—
" His Majesty the King of the French on one part,
and his Majesty the Emperor of Morocco, King of Fez
and Sus, on the other, desiring to terminate and regulate
the differences which have arisen between France and
Morocco, and to establish, conformably to ancient trea-
ties, the relations of friendship which have for an instant
been suspended between the two empires, have named
and delegated for their Plcnipotentiaries:—For the King
of the French, Antoine-Marie Daniel Dore de Nion, offi-
cer of the Legion of Honour, Chevalier of the Royal
Order of Isabella the Catholic, Chevalier of the First
Class of the Grand Ducal Order of Louis of Hesse, and
Consul-General and Charge d'Affaires of his Majesty
to Morocco ; and Louis-Charles-Elie Decazes, Count
Decazes, Duke de Glucksburg, Commander of the Royal
Order of the Legion of Honour, Commander of the Royal
Order of Danebrog, and of the Royal Order of Charles
111. of Spain, Chamberlain of his Danish Majesty,
and Charge d'Affaires of his Majesty the King of the
French, to his Majesty the Emperor of Morocco ; and
for his Majesty the Emperor of Morocco, King of Fez
and Sus, Sid Bouselam Ben Ali; who have agreed upon
the following stipulations:—
" Art. 1. The troops of Morocco assembled on the
frontier of the two empires, or in the vicinity of the said
frontier, are to be disbanded. His Majesty the Emperor
engages to prevent for the future any assemblage of this
nature: Theie shall remain only, under .the conimatid
of the Odd of Ouchda, a body of men •vpho are not
habitually'to exceed 2,000 ; this number, however may
be increased if extraordinary circumstances,: and recog-
nised as such by the two Governments, should render it I
evidently necessary in the common interest.
Art. 2. An exemplary chastisement shall be inflicted
on the Morocco chiefs who have directed or tolerated
acts of aggression committed in time of peace on the
territory of Algeria, and against the troops of his Ma-
jesty the King of the French. The Government of
Morocco shall apprise the French Government of the
measures which may have been resorted to for the exe-
cution of the present clause.
" Art. 3. His Majesty the Emperor of Morocco en-
gages anew and in the most formal and absolute manner,
neither to give, nor permit to be given, in his States,
assistance, succour in arms, ammunition, or any war-
like object whatever, to any rebel subject, or enemy of
France.
" Art. 4. Had -Abd-el Kader is placed hors la loi in
the whole extent of the empire of Morocco, as well as in
Algeria. He shall consequently be pursued a main
armee by the French in the territory of Algeria, and by
the Moors on the territory of Morocco, until he shall
have been expelled and have fallen into the power of one
of the two nations. In the event of Abd-el-Kader falling
into the power of the French troops, the Government of
his Majesty the King of the French engages to treat
him with consideration and generosity. In the event of
his falling into the power of the troops of Morocco,
his Majesty the Emperor of Morocco engages to place
him (Finterner) in one of the towns of the western coast
of the empire, until the two Governments shall have
adopted in concert the measures which may be indis
pensable to prevent his being able, under any circum
stances, to resume arms, and disturb anew the tranquil.
lity of Algeria and Morocco.

Art. 5. The delimitation of the frontiers between the
possessions of his Majesty the King of the French and
those of the Emperor of Morocco remains fixed and
agreed upon, conformably to the state of things recog-
nised by the Government of Morocco at the period of the
domination of the Turks in Algeria. The complete and
regular execution of this clause shall be the object of a
special convention, to be negotiated and concluded on the
spot, between the Plenipotentiary designated for that
purpose by his Majesty the King of the French and a
delegate of the Government of Morocco. hlis Majesty
the Emperor of Morocco engages to adopt the necessary
measures for this object without delay, and to apprise
the French Government of them.

" Art. 6. Immediately after the signing of the present
convention, hostilities shall cease on both sides. As soon
as the stipulations contained in Articles 1,2, 4, and 5,
shall have been executed to the satisfaction of the French
Government, the French troops shall evacuate the island
of Mogadore and the town of Ouchda, and all the pri-
soners made on either side shall be placed at the disposal
of their respective nations.
" Art. 7. The high contracting parties engage to pro-
ceed with friendly accord, and as promptly as possible, to
the conclusion of a new treaty, which, being based upon
the treaties actually in force, shall have for object the
consolidation and completion of them in the interest of
the political and commercial relations of the two empires.
In the meantime, the ancient treaties shall be scrupu-
lously respected and observed i❑ all their clauses, and
France shall enjoy in all things and on all occasions the
treatment of the most favoured nation.

" Art. 8. The present convention shall be ratified, and
the ratifications shall be exchanged within a delay of two
months, or sooner, if possible.
" This day, the 10th of September, of the year of grace
one thousand eight hundred and forty-four, correspond-
ing with the . . . of the month of Chaaban, year of
the Hegyra, one thousand two hundred and sixty, the
Plenipotentiaries above-named of their Majesties the
King of the French and the Emperor of Morocco have
signed the present convention, and have affixed to it
their respective seals." •

TIIE FRENCH RAILWAYS.
(FRost A CORRESPONEENT.)
PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The line from Or-
leans to Vierzon has been adjudged to the Company
known as the Paris and Orleans Company, by an ar-
rangement between them and the rival company. The
reduction is only one month below the maximum term of
the lease, viz., forty years.
For the Bordeaux line there were three competitors,
and the prize was carried off by the company of Lau-
rent, Luzarche, and Mackenzie. The term is 27 years,
278 days ; to date from the completion of the works
throughout the whole line to Bordeaux. The law allows
six years at least for such completion and delivery by
the Government, so that in point of fact the term of the
lease is 34 years nearly—a period amply sufficient for
the liquidation of the whole capital by the operation of
a very moderate sinking fund, without taking into the
account the value of the stock, materials, and stores, to
he paid for by valuation, and amounting to at least
10,000,000 f. (say 400,0001.)
By good management in the hands of practical men,
like those at the head of this Company, the line as far
as Tours (seventy miles) will be opened in the autumn
of next year, and yield an ample, a large return, for that
proportion of the capital expended upon it.

KNACKERS' CARTS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In one of your editions of last week's Sun,
you notice the horrible cruelty still existent in the
" knackers' yards," and which have been so vividly
exposed by Mr. May, of the National Animals' Friend
Society. Allow me to make notice of a disgusting
and horrible cruelty—namely, that the poor worn-out
horses, which are unable for work, and sent to the
knacker for the purpose of being killed, should be
compelled by the inhuman purchaser to be harnessed
in a kna,cker's cart, and draw the ponderous load of
one or more carcases through The streets of London.
I trust, Sir, the Society will look to this, and, if pos-
sible, remedy the evil. Many thanks for past favours.

THE DISPATCHES AND LETTERS OF LORD NEL-
SON.—We rejoice to learn that the glorious achievements
of England's greatest naval hero are on the eve of being
recorded in a manner which will more than compensate
us for the failure of the " Nelson Pillar" in Trafalgar-
square—a memorial altogether unworthy of his fame.
We allude to the publication by Mr. Colburn of Nelson's
official letters and other correspondence, which is to ap-
pear in three volumes, uniform with the Dispatches
of the Duke of 'Wellington. We feel assured
that this announcement will give unqualified and
universal satisfaction, particularly when we inform
our readers that the undertaking is intrusted
to no less skilful a pilot than Sir Harris Nicho-
las, at whose hands it is sure to receive ample justice,
