sciences of the Left would have been appeased. And
new, what will be the result of the electors of
Louviers, strong in their incontestible right, should
they a fourth and a fifth time return M. CHARLES
LAFFITTE to the Chamber ? When will the
affair terminate ? " We think," says the Globe, " that
the Chamber has abused its power by refusing to
admit the validity of an election made in conformity
with all the rules of law. This must be evident to
the whole world. The electors of Louviers cannot
suffer to be broken in their hands a right placed in
them by the Charter, to be maintained by their firm-
ness and patriotism. They are buund to defend it to
the last." The Constitutionnel and the National re-
joice at the result, though they do not regard M.
LIFFITTE more guilty than most of the Members re-
turned. "We hope," says the latter, " that what
passed yesterday will be a happy augury for the
struggle about to commence between the defenders of
the interests of the State, and that troop of coalesced
jobbers, who are ready to pounce upon the great
public works. This party of corrupt jobbers has
been beaten in this contest, and, we trust, will be
beaten again when it comes forward and attempts to
establish a feodality over our railroads."

The papers contain Ano other domestic news of in-
terest. In some of them, however, we find the fol-
lowing intelligence relative to the Papal States and
the policy of the Austrian Government, contained in
a letter from Leghorn, of the 22d ult.:—

"Although for some time there have been no rumours of
revolutionary attempts, the governments have remained upon
their guard, and have taken every measure required for sup-
pressing insurrection. Our accounts from Romagna confirm
the report that the Austrian garrisons of Ferrara and Coma-
celcio have been constantly increased. The Imperial troops
may be said to occupy the whole of the Legation of Ferrara,
ready, in case of need, to enter the provinces of Bologna and
Ravenna in 24 hours. There is a rumour, but we know not
what credit it is entitled to, that the son of General Nugent,
Governor of Trieste, has been arrested. Within these few
days a great movement has been observed at the head-
quarters of the Austrian army of Italy, established at Ve-
rona. The Italian Field-Marshal Mazzuchelli, has been re
placed in the command of the fortress of Mantua by another
officer."

According to a letter from Vienna, of the 21st, in
the Frankfort papers, the most perfect tranquillity
prevails in the States of Venetian Lombardy, and
not the slightest apprehension of an outbreak prevails.

Mr. Henn, Q.C., commenced, and was left speaking.

MORTALITY IN TIIE METROPOLIS.—There has
been a slight increase in the number of deaths during
the week ending April 27, as compared with the
previous week, the numbers being respectively 880,
and 846—average 883. The increase has taken place
chiefly in cases of consumption and diseases of the
brain. In the former, the number during the pre-
ceding week was 142, and during the last, 162,
average 155. In deaths caused by the latter there
has been an increase of 30, being 19 above the ave-
rage, namely, 152. In all other cases, except violent
deaths and small-pox, there is a decrease. The
number of deaths from violence was 33, of which 7
were caused by falls, 9 by injuries from carriages,
3 suicides, 5 from burns and scalds, and 4 from drown-
ing. Of 31 persons who died of small-pox, 24 had
not been vaccinated. According to the returns made
from the Greenwich Observatory, the thermometer

temperature than that in London by 5 degrees. It
was lowest on the night of Wednesday, being 38.3
degrees.

THE QUEEN DOWAGER.—Her Majesty, we are
happy to state, is progressing very favourably. The
medical attendants of her Majesty (Sir David Davies
and Mr. Keate) attended at Marlborough House
early this morning. The bulletin issued stated that
her Majesty had passed a good night, and was
advancing satisfactorily to recovery. Lady Peel and
a long list of the nobility called to pay their respects
to-day.

THIS DAY'S NEWS

INDIA AND CHINA.

Calcutta papers of the 14th, and Bombay papers
and correspondence to the 13th cX March, inclusive,
have been received by the Bentinck, which reached
Suez on the 12th of April; they were brought to
Marseilles from Alexandria direct by the French
stea:ner.

The following extract gives a summary of the news
from India and China :

" ALEXANDRIA, APRIL 19.
"The latest dates brought by the Bentinck, which
reached Suez on the 12th inst., are from Calcutta to
the 14th, and Bombay to the 13th of March. The
steamer Carnatic was dispatched from Bombay on the
evening of the 13th to Ceylon, to meet the Bentinck,
on her passage from Calcutta to Suez.
"The mails which had left London on the 6th of
February had arrived at Bombay, but the letters
were not to be delivered until the following day. The
most important military news relates to the refusal
of one Madras and two Bengal regiments to proceed
to Sinde on finding that they were not to be allowed
full batta.

" The Sesostris arrived at Bombay on the 10th of
March from China, which country she left on the 15th
of February, having on board, amongst other pas-
sengers, Major-General Sir James Schoedde. The
town of Victoria was quite healthy, and it was hopeel
that the ensuing summer would not be so fatal as the
last. Several daring attempts at robbery had been
made at Hong-Kong. Sir H. Pottinger had evinced
an earnest desire to act up to the treaty with China.
Her Majesty's 65th Regiment was under orders for
immediate embarcation for England. Her Majesty's
ship Dido, Capt. Keppel, left for Calcutta on the 2d
February, having on board Lord Saltoun, late Com-
mander of the Forces, who arrived at Suez in the
13entinck, and will proceed to England by the Great
Liverpool. Little was doing in teas on account of
the high prices demanded.
" The Governor-General arrived at Calcutta on the
28th February, and on the 29th published a most
liberal grant of batta to all the troops that were en-
gaged in Gwalior and in Sinde.
" India in general is tranquil.
" The price of indigo had advanced a little at Cal-
cutta, and the business in British cotton piece goods
had been large. •
A letter from Calcutta, dated March 15, contains
this passage :—" Sinde is finally and for ever annexed
to the British possessions."
Malta letters of the 23d of April, received by
this express, bring no news.
(From the Calcutta Englidirnan, Feb. 29.)
The Governor-General arrived at Government-house yes-
terday afternoon. The Deputy-Governor, Council, and a
vast concourse of persons in and out of the service, were for
some time previously in attendance to receive his Lordship,
whose arrival was delayed beyond the time at which he was
expected. The usual ceremonies were performed upon the
occasion, the fort guns fired, and the troops drawn up on each
side of the entrance. The Governor-General cordially greeted
his colleagues, and appeared to have derived considerable
benefit from his late journey.
The following is a more detailed account, for which we are
indebted to a correspondent
" Four companies of her Majesty's 10th Regiment were
drawn up in line, with their right ' resting on the eastern
entrance to the Government-house. The reserve guards,
with their left' resting on the same entrance, were drawn
up in line also, and facing the companies of her Majesty's
10th Regiment; this made a street through which the Go-
vernor-General drove, and during which time he was received
with arms presented.' The Light Company of her Majesty's
10th Regiment, in' single ranks,' were drawn up on the steps
of the grand entrance, and immediately facing it the Govern-
ment-house Guard; on his Lordship alighting from his car-
riage, he was again received with 'arms presented,' while the
Deputy-Governor, &c., advanced to meet him ; at the same
moment the signal was conveyed to the saluting battery, and
a salute of nineteen guns was fired. This closed the
tamasha.' The whole of the civil and military attached to
the Presidency were ordered out on the occasion."
