The Ring of the French, the Duke de Nemours and
the Prince de Joinville, accompanied by Generals Ay-
mard and Houdetot and some artillery officers left St.
Cloud on Saturday for Fontainebleau, where they re-
mained fur the night and returned on Sunday afternoon
at six o'clock.
One of the Paris journals states that serious anxiety
exists as to the fate of the Government steam-boat the
*Vedette. This ship, which sailed from Toulon for
l'Orient on the 3d of October, had not since been heard
Of. She is of 120 horsepower—a feeble force to resist
the hurricanes prevalent in the Bay of Biscay. A man-
°t-War brig, which bore the same name, was lost there
Lwo years since.

fThe Spanish Senate on the 29th ult. adopted the pro.
eet of law authorising the Government to regulate the
organisation and to define the powers of the ayunta-

The Brussels papers observe that the debate in the
Dinh Chambers on the address, in reply to the King of
polhaid's speech from the throne,' possessed this singu-
alitYt that it was the first time the reply to the King's
salletch was discussed publicly. The exclusion of stran-
gers was negatived by 31 votes to 20.

LAW AND POYACE.
A complaint was made at the Mansion-house by two
respectable inhabitants of the City, of the success of
the labours of a swindling firm, in which several vic-
timizers are concerned. In all probability some of the
company will be brought up, an active officer of the
City police force having received instructions upon the
subject from Sir Peter Laurie. They cou!d not have
fallen into worse hands, anti if we mistake not, Sir Peter
Will do them justice.
At Guildhall, Sir George Carroll stated, that he had
received a letter from the Dublin Metropolitan Police-
"flee, cautioning him, that a set of imposters were tra-
velling about England, soliciting alms, under false pre-
nee; and exhibiting fabricated certificates, surmounted
thith the royal arms, and purporting to be signed by
th° tae
of Cork, or Waterford, or other justices of

_TAL ACCIDENT; _About ten o'clock on Thurs-
day forenoon, a number of boys got in about the goods'
l!atiUn of the Glasgow and Ayr Railway Company,
°rt Eglinton, and commenced pushing along the line of
s
thus employed,
Ni one of the empty trucks. They had not been long
when one of their number, a boy aged
!hunt ten years, the son of a carpet weaver residing in
isedford-street, fell before the wheels of the carriage,
Which passed over his body. The boy was immediately
Conveyed home, and medical aid procured, but we regret
0 add he expired in about an hour after wards.—Scotsman.
E InXIDORTANT.—The Vesuvius steamer, Commander
• ,Joarnanney, arrived this morning frem the Mediter-
rttoan, where she has been on constant service for up-
wards of three years. She is come into harbour. This
vessel brings information, that the late affair between
General Comma and the Kybyles was of a more serious
character, and more disastrous to the French, than the
1'448 papers have described ; in fact, that the fight
occurred very little without the fortifications of Algiers,
and that the French lost 300 men killed.—Hampshire

TUE AGRICULTURISTS OF FRANCE.—A congress of

and proprietos of the north of France has
Just been held at St. Quentin. It was attended by the
deputies, members of the Councils-General, and upwards
of 300 practical farmers, who passed three successive
bees in discussing the best means of improving the
eds of horses and cattle of all kinds, the growth and
I')Portation of oleaginous seeds, wool, hemp, and flax,
tllO cultivation of waste lands, and other important ques-
tions.
It was also decided that a general association of
the northern departments, similar to those in Normandy
and Brittany, should be formed, and that its first meeting
should be held next year at Cambrai.

MR. GIEOAGE ROBINS'S -HAMM,'
VILLA, AT KEMP TOWN.

The splendid freehold residence at Kemp Town
(vis-a-vis to the Duke of Devonshire), which was
purchased last year, when in carcase only, by Mr.
George Robins, is just completed, and, from the great
taste and style that is conspicuous, both within and
without, has become indeed a prominent feature to
this distinguished auxiliary town to Brighton. We
really find it difficult to do justice to the extraordinary
tact that is conspicuous everywhere. The windows
are all of large plate glass, which materially aids the
illusion. The architect and the builder both seem
to have contended strenuously for the ascendancy ;
and Reynolds, the renowned builder of Kensington
villas, at Bayswater, says he has won the prize; one
thing is quite certain, that it has left all the mansions
of this scale in Kemp Town at a great distance—even
the Duke of Devonshire's must now hide its diminished
head. It has also the advantage over all others in
the situation—that it commands a view almost
interminable, extending to Portsmouth and the Isle
of Wight, with Worthing and Shoreham, and the
vast Ocean in the intermediate space. It possesses
also a very agreeable feature in having a westerly
view ; it is in no way exposed to the east wind, and
is entitled by the rules and regulations of a committee
of management to free access, at all times and at all
seasons, to the splendid grounds of Kemp Town, as
well as unlimited right to parade the Terrace
Walks to the sea, whenever it pleases the possessor.
We have inquired, and we learn that Mr. Robins has
no idea, as was generally reported, of occupying it
himself. It is erected with the sole view to let it.
There is abundant accommodation in the stable de-
partment for four or eight horses. Two double
coach-houses ; and over each range are four rooms
for the male portion of the establishment, by
which they are kept aloof from inconveniencing
the family. By the • way, we were so struck
with the ensemble, that we took the trouble
to put down a little memorandum of its internal
capabilities. It is by no means so large a mansion as
it appears from its outward form ; but it has by far
the most imposing exterior of any house in Brighton.
The conservatory, opening on to the balcony,
with its elegant and tasteful viranda, seems
to leave all its contemporaries far away. The
rent required seems unusually moderate-250
guineas a year, to include four stalls and double
coach house. It is in perfect order to be imme-
diately furnished and occupied. There are magnifi-
cent chimney-pieces which adorn all the principal
rooms, with stoves throughout, of a superior kind ;
and a kitchen apparatus worthy of Monsieur Ude.
It seems to have been completed at the very nick of
time, as there are no houses upon this scale to be had
just now at any price.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY.

Paying and receiving on the last day's racing at
Newmarket did not entirely engage the attention of the
subscribers, several of the Derby favourites having been
more or less in request. As most prominent, we may
select Ides, on whom large sums were laid out at 30, 28.
and 25 to 1 ; his backers numerous and influential.
Anti-Repealer and Miss Whip colt were also in consider-
able estimation, and many others were fancied, but on
terms agreeing, in the main, with those last quoted from
Newmarket. The general prices at the finish were as
follows

erroneously affixed to the recommendation of the Jockey
Club in the Crenoline affair, instead of that of the Hon.
George Anson, Colonel Byng having retired from the

ALLEGED IMPROPER REMOVAL OF A HOSPITAL
PATlENT.—Yesterday, Mr. Wakley held an inquest on
the body of a man on whom amputation had been per-
formed in St. George's Hospital. The stump did not,
however, heal, and his health going back, Mr. Cutler,
the surgeon, suggested that deceased should be removed
from the Fitzwilliam-ward to another ward in which
there were not so many beds, and where he would have
more air, but the deceased preferred being taken home
to his own lodgings at Notting-hill, where he said he P
should have plenty of air, and he was conveyed thither
by his wife in a cab on Saturday, the 26th ult. On the
Monday following he was there visited by Mr. Cutler,
and during the remaining days of his life also by other
medical officers of the hospital ; but he continued to
sink, and died on Thursday last. His wife admitted
that it was at his request that she had removed him
from the hospital, and that he had made no complaint
whatever of the treatment he had received there. Dr.
Barnes, of Notting-hill, who had, by order of the Co-
roner, made a post mortem examination of the body, de-
posed to the death having been the effect of the accident,
and the Coroner and jury declaring that there was no
cause whatever for the allegations that had been made as
to the improper removal from the hospital, a verdict of
" Accidental death " was returned. Mr. Barry, the master
of the decased, who, the widow said, had allowed her
12s. per week for six weeks of the time her husband was
in the hospital, promised before the jury to give her 5/.,
and to assist her otherwise as much as lay in his power,
which the Coroner and jury said was most handsome
conduct on his part.
WELSH CATTLE FAlRS.—Since our last report,
there have been three fairs severally at Newcastle
Emlyn, at Narberth, and Abergwilly, at all of which a
large quantity of cattle was offered, but the buyers
were far from being as numerous as they generally are
at this time of the year. Notwithstanding, however, a
great many two-years-old cattle were sold, but at very
low prices. One of the buyers for the English fairs
(Mr. Thomas Jones, of Tanner's Hall, Landovery)
turned out a splendid lot of three and four-years-old
oxen from the different fairs, at unusually low rates.
Yearling cattle were not much sought for, as our farmers
are, one and all, so badly off for winter fodder. Good
horses were in demand, both for saddle and for drawing,
at fair prices. Colts and inferior horses were not
neglected. Pigs have advanced in price, from 10 to 12
per cent. since the early part of September last. In
sheep, no alteration can be quoted; prime ones, fit fbr
immediate slaughtering being in good demand, at from
425. to 48s. per cwt., to sink the offal. Very few
butchers from Swansea and Llanelly have attended our
last fairs, consequently the best fat beasts were mostly
driven home unsold.— Welshructn.
FATAL EFFECTS OF INTOXICATION.—OH Sunday
night a workman had been drinking witlisome acquaint-
ances until 12 o'clock, when, finding himself much in-
toxicated and incapable of proceeding home, he went to
his employer's residence in Short's gardens and re-
quested permission to lie down in the workshops until
morning, which was granted. Next morning one of she
apprentices discovered the unfortunate man lying at the
foot of the stairs quite dead, from a dislocation of the
neck, he having fallen from the second flight of steps to
the bottom. He has left a widow and family to deplore
the melancholy event.
