FOREIGN.

The continued depression of the French funds is at-
tributed to a conviction on the Bourse that Government
will require a loan to carry on extensive railroad line z.
The majority for Ministers in the present Chamber
of Deputies, is estimated at between 40 and 45.
The France give the following of the 15th inst., from
Goritz :—" The health of the august son of Charles X.
gives no longer any uneasiness. The crisis of his disease,
from which the Prince has suffered so long, was much
stronger and more painful than any preceding attack.
Happily, he has become so much better within these last
few days, that there is every reason to hope that it has
entirely ceased. The health of the Princesses is good."
Prince Paul Galitzin, Grand Chamberlain and Ad-
jutant-General of the Emperor of Russia, and Prince
Waldemar Galitzin, Grand Equerry of the Empress,
have arrived in Paris.

The Paris Correctional Tribunal was occupied on
Wednesday with the trial of M. Peyrot, the responsible
editor of the National, for two libels, published on May
17th and 18th, against M. de l'Espee, a member of the
Chamber of Deputies. The Court, after having heard
counsel, condemned M. Peyrot to two months' imprison-
ment, 4,000 f. fine, and, considering that by .the publica-
tion in question an injury had been inflicted on M. de
l'Esplia, further condemned M. Peyrot to pay 6,000 f. as
damages to that gentleman, or to be imprisoned for two
years, in the event of non-payment. -
Bonneville, the man who was 'condemned to death at
the last assizes of the Ain, for the murder of a person
named Heritier, was executed at Bourg on Monday. On
quitting the prison, he took leave of his friends, saying,
" I die innocent." On reaching the scaffold, he embraced
and thanked his confessor, and when on the platform,
the instant before he was put under the axe, he exclaim-
ed, " Adieu, Francais ! en avant !"
The Suabian Mercury of the 23d ult. state!, on the
authority of letters from St. Petersburgh, that the Rus-
sian Cabinet has made concessions to the Greek Govern-
ment which will be advantageous to the general peace.
These concessions are said to be not only political, but
financial.
The following bulletin of the health of the Queen of
Prussia was published on the 20th :—" Her Majesty had
little sleep last night, but the eruption begins to disap-
pear ; the fever has almost ceased, and the state of her
Majesty continues to be satisfactory."
'The young Turks who had been' sent to Vienna, in'
order that they might receive a scientific education, have
been recalled by the Turkish Government. The Turkish
pupils who were at Berlin have also been recalled.
The Journal de Frankfort states from Vienna, that by
the treaty of navigation and commerce between Austria
and the Republic of Mexico, the vessels of the respective
States are to pay no other dues than those imposed upon
their own shipping, and that the duties on merchandise
are not to exceed those imposed upon the most favoured
nations.

M. Lanzaruole, a mezzotinto engraver, attached to the
Jesuits' College at Rome, has, according to a letter from
that city, discovered a means of impressing at once
upon the lithographic-stone the objects produced by the
Daguerreotype, so that a succession of copies may be
immediately produced. M. Lanzaruole has presented to
the Pope proof-prints of several of the ancient buildings
at Rome, which are said to be quite perfect.

PUBLIC OPINION.
The Times of this morning observes, in a leading arti-
cle on Ireland—" As" the Ist of February approaches,
both parties in Parliament begin their audible prepara-
tion for the annual Dutch concert. The performance
promised by the Whigs is a favourite Irish howl, and the
prelude, or what, in case of a sermon, would be the text,
is as follows :—` Sir Robert Peel is unfit to conciliate
Ireland.' We have no scruple in pronouncing, that
without the adoption of measures of a broader and more
determined charaCter, not merely for the repression of
licentious daring, but for the relief of unmerited suffer-
ing, and for the redress of demonstrable, if not
acknowledged, wrong, than such as have yet been at-
tempted by any Conservative Minister since the great
Emancipation Bill of 1829, Sir R. Peel will assuredly prove
himself unable to conciliate even the better portion of
Ireland. The spirit, however, in which the phrase we
have quoted has been employed, and especially the in-
ference founded on it, have nothing in common with
those national views which alone are worthy of a states-
man's meditation ; for they are purely selfish, instead of
generous—factious and grasping, not benevolent—their
authors care not a bulrush for the good of Ireland, but
simply for the expulsion of the existing Ministers from
office, and the return of the old incapable Whigs. Now,
let it be understood for once, that whether a Tory or
Whig Ministry be in power, is to the Times, per se, a
question of less than no importance.-4 Whig Tori-usve
mihi nullo discrimine habetur.' We have no party but
the British monarchy—in Ireland no party but her house-
less, helpless, hopeless, breadless, and misguided people,
or those who are guiltless of oppressing them."
The Advertiser thus expresses itself on the subject of
the Irish State trials:—" The monster accouchement of
Mr. Attorney-General Smith still progresses, although
the evidence for the prosecution is nearly exhausted.
All the best cards have been played, and pitiable is the
appearance which Ministers make in the game. When
the mathematician was asked, after perusing Homer's
Iliad, what he thought of the work, his answer was, that
it proved nothing. The same may be said of the evi-
dence given by the witnesses for the Crown. Their
testimony has proved nothing. Stop a little ; we
are mistaken: it has proved a great deal. It has esta-
blished the case for the defence. One and all of the
Attorney-General's witnessing friends, ' witnessed 'for
the traversers, proving, in the most conclusive manner,
that they are altogether guiltless of the high crimes And
misdemeanours laid to their charge."
The Herald says:—" Though we cannot approve o
the tone adopted by the Committee in the address pre-
fixed to the resolutions passed at the aggregate meeting
in Dublin, we feel assured that many of the individuals
who have subscribed to the resolutions themselves are
conscientiously impressed with the very wrong idea, that
the mere act of discretion and duty performed by the
law officer of the Crown, in striking off certain names
from the jury list, was an insult and a wrong to the
whole body of Catholics. This is an impression that we
would gladly see removed, though not out of any respect
to the unprincipled agitators who have created it, and
who would rather that their Catholic fellow-subjects
should remain under the suspicion that they have been
wronged and insulted. Those who feel a savage exulta-
tion in widening the breach between the sister countries
would on no account disabuse the Irish of any error
which might tend to add bitterness to the animosity they
have been taught to foster towards the English people
and the English Government."

their clothes.
John Marabillon, an Italian landlord of the Fleece
public-house, Little Windmill-street, was charged with
having fired a pistol, loaded with ball, at Joseph Lever,
baker, 34, Silver-street. The prisoner, in his defence,
entered into a history of his business transactions with
the prosecutor, in which he made out that the prosecutor
had not abided by some part of the agreement between
them, and had gone into the shop at No. 41, and forcibly
removed some fixtures. The prisoner was fully com-
mitted for trial.

In the Court of Common Pleas a Mrs. Hone, formerly
a lodging-house keeper, and teacher of an infant school,

and fitted 101—William Howes, hair-dresser and tobac-
conist, No. 8, Barking churchyard, was charged with
keeping tobacco in la part of his house which was

made a strong appeal to the sympathy of the
Court, who mitigated the penalty from 100/. to 20s.—
John Lewis Watson, of the Castle, Kent-street, South-
wark, had 24 gallons of gin seized, as being an increase
on his stock unaccounted for by permit. Defendant said
that the fact was he was in the habit of receiving his
gin from the distillers at 22 per cent. over proof, but
that the last he had was only 17, and he had, by mis-
take, reduced it too much. Spirits condemned.—Dsniel
Massey Gilbert, lodginghouse-keeper, No. 6, New
Basinghall-street, was charged with selling spirits with-
out a license. The informations for wine, beer, and
tobacco were withdrawn. The officers clearly proved
that they were supplied without hesitation, even during
church hours, with brandy and whiskey, which were
kept in the house. The defendant, who is a Common.
Councilman for Cripplegate-within, stated that his estab-
lishment was conducted in such a respectable manner
that it was impossible for any person in it to infringe
the law. A bill was here produced, in which there was
an item, " cash 35.," which the officers swore was given
them by the defendant's niece, who said, when asked
what that meant, that "that was for the spirits which
they must not sell." The fines were mitigated to 20/.
