FOREIGN.
On Sunday evening the King and Queen of the French
received the Swedish Minister and Countess de Lcewenhielm,
the Duke de Montmorency, Generals Count de Lcewenhielm,
Count Lalaing d'Audenarde, and Count de Dampierre, the
Prefect of Police, Counts Hamilton, Noe, and de Bassevitz,
Countesses de Bassevitz, de Castellane, and de Montalivet,
the Prefect of the Haute-Saone, Baron and Baroness Achard,
Baron Boissy d'Anglas, Baroness Tascher, and M. Cham-
panhet._

The Prince de Joinville arrived at Havre on Saturday
morning, attended. by an aide-de-camp, and took his depar-
ture the same evening for Brest in .the steam-boat Morlaisien.
M. Duchatel, the Minister of the Interior, who has been
for the last week absent from the Chambers, has had a severe
attack of influenza. Tie is better, but will not, it is said,
be able to attend his legislative labours before the eud of
the week. _

A vessel arrived at Marseilles on Friday from Cartbagena,
in Spain, with 195 refugees. Amongst them were the Presi-
dent and members of the revolutionary Junta. _

Unless some event should occur, (says the Quoticlienne)
to modify the intentions of the Chateau, the promotion of
General Bugeaud to the head of the War Department has
been determined on. Thus every one will be satisfied,
Marshal Bugeaud to have the portfolio of War, M. d'Aumale
the Government of Algeria, M. Guizot the office of President
of the Council, and Marshal Soult his liberty.
One of the journals of Monday morning says : —" On Sa-
turday the body of a municipal guard was taken from the
river near the Pont des Invalides. The state of the body
leads one to :uppose that he was murdered. It is said that
five days before the bodies of two others were taken out,
and,that within a fortnight six have:disappeared." In reply
to the above, the Plessager declares that there is no truth
in the report of six municipal guards having disappeared. It
states, however, that three have recently committed suicide.
The Univers publishes an address from the Bishops of
Bourges, Clermont, St. Fleur, and Puv, the liberty of
education in France, addressed to the ding. This address
inculcates the necessity of giving every system of education
a religious foundation, and complains that the spirit which
animates the university is irreligious, and tends to substitute
the domination of an incredulous philosophy for the salutary
influence of religion.
The Constitutionnel publishes a letter which it states to
have received from a correspondent " usually well informed."
It is dated Bologna, the 7th of April, and mentions rumours
of a grand insurrection having broken out at Naples, under
the direction of men belonging to the richest and most dis -
tinguished families. The Government immediately mus-
tered the whole garrison, fell upon the insurgents, and
drove them to the shore, where they were surrounded and all
captured. The Constitutionners correspondent adds :—" Several
versions are in circulation respecting these events. Some per-
sons reject them as improbable, others pretend that they
have acccounts which diminish the gravity of the facts
alleged; but the whole population is in anxiety and expects
some important determination on the part of the Pontifical
Government."
We learn from Madrid that the Government had received
a dispatch, announcing that the crew, eight in number, of a
small vessel, which was near Ceuta, had been massacred by
the Moors of Morocco, but it was
.not known whether the
vessel was Spanish, or of another nation.
The Moniteur states that, according to the last arrivals
from Hayti, the Government of the island has come to the
resolution that no foreigners shall hereafter have the right to
purchase or hold lands within the territory, unless they are
subjects of governments who have emancipated their slaves.
. The Lyons journals announce that the refract-dry miners
of Rive de Gui have agreed to resume their labour.

LAW AND POLICE.
At Bow-street, Mr. Martin, landlord of the Ship Tavern,
Chichester-rents, Chancery-lane, was summoned before Mr.
Twyford, charged with having opened his house for the sale
of beer, &c., at illegal hours, namely, at a quarter past one
on the morning of the sth April, Good Friday. Two police-
men having been examined in support of the charge, Mr.
Wire said the defence was very simple. A benefit society
met at his house, and the night in question being a quarterly
night, they had sat late, to make up the accounts, but there
was not the least liquor drawn after twelve o'clock, nor were
there any persons in the house but members of this society.
Mr. Martin had been a licensed victualler for nineteen years,
and had never had the slightest charge brought against him,
having served all the parochial offices with honour and credit.
He then called George Raisin, the waiter, who proved that
nothing was served after twelve o'clock, and that the house
was cleared of customers at that hour. Mr. Twyford con-
sidered the case fully answered, and dismissed the informa •
tion.—This is the fifth charge of the kind brought by the
police before the Bow-street magistrates, in two days, and all
of them have been dismissed.

At Worship-street Mary Pettigrew, an infim and aged
widow, in her 82d year, was charged, conjointly with her
daughter, a middle-aged married woman, named Mary Ann
Joblyns, with having wilfully and maliciously set fire to a
hou : e situated in Old - street-road, and which was said to have
been the occupation of the elder prisoner for the last forty
years. A broker and two policemen gave evidence as to the
property in the house, the commencement of the fire, Sec.,
when both the prisoners strongly asserted their innocence,
and the younger one said that her ,husband was a wine mer-
chant, residing in France, from which country she was sum-,
moned about six weeks ago to the sick bed of her mother,
upon whom she had been since in constant attendance.
Mr. Broughton said that after the evidence he had heard he
could come to no other conclusion than that the house had
been wilfully set on fire, under circumstances that attached
strong suspicion to both the prisoners, and he had no hesita-
tion in remanding them till a future day. The prisoners were
remanded until Monday next.
_ _ _

James Standen,-the Proprietor of the hackney cab 710,:was
charged at Queen-square, by Richard Carter, a relic of that
degraded class of society called common informers, with hav-
ing neglected to inscribe in conspicuous characters the num-
ber he was licensed to carry The defenclantovho appeared
to be a very respectable man, pleaded guilty, but hoped to be
excused, as it was entirely the effect of accident. The cab
had undergone some repairs, and the coachmaker, after paint-
ing it, had omitted to replace the plate on which the words
"to carry two persons" were inscribed. He was fined 10s.
and costs.
At Marylebone Police-court, David Smith, a cab-driver,
badge 7,056, was charged with cruelty to his horse, by strik-
ing it upon the head with the butt-end of his whip, and also
flogging the poor animal so unmercifully under the flank that
the blood dropped down upon its hoofs. Mr. Rawlinson com-
mitted him, without the infliction of any fine, to two months'
imprisonment in the House of Correction.

A Correspondent in Caher informs us, that Mr.
Vincent Scully was the person intended to be shot at by
those who made the recent attempt on Lord Tullamore.
This gentleman is the brother of the Mr. Scully, who
had been murdered some time since. " A few nights (adds
our correspondent), before the attempt on Lord Tull,-
more was made, the Captain of Infantry, quartered at
Thurles, was dragged off his horse by a gang of fellows.
who, just as they were about proceeding to beat him with
bludgeons, discovered that he was not the victim in.

SUICIDE IN A WORICHOUSE.—Yesterday Mr
Baker held an invest at the Wellington, Cannon-street, St,
George's-in-the Last, on the body of James Hicks, aged 75.
who was by trade a bill-sticker. It appeared that the de-
ceased was a widower, and in consequence of being in very
great distress from the falling off of his business about font•
months ago, was compelled to enter the workhouse of St.
George-in-the-East. For some weeks past he has been in a
very depressed state of mind. On Sunday night he observed
to one of his sons that his brain was turned, and that he knew
he was mad. On Tuesday morning, between two and three
o'clock, he was seen to get out of bed by another inmate, but
never returned. Shortly after five o'clock he was found
hanging by a cord. to the balustrade railing by a man named
Butterworth, who cut him down. Life was extinct. He had
cut the rope from a line.—Verdict, "Temporary insanity."
SPARLINGS.—This little fish, which visits our river
annually, has appeared this season in very great numbers,
so that, for several days past, it has been selling at 6d. per
hundred. It is somewhat strange, however, that it has not
conic, by several miles, so far up the river as usual—none
having been got higher than Fallin, instead- of being, at the
tail of the Hood, and even at the Shore, as We have seen
them. It may be fourteen or sixteen years sinc# they were
so numerous,—Stirling Obserrm
