The French mail brings the intelligence that the ex-
Queen Regent of Spain had accepted the invitation of
her daughter and the Council of Ministers to proceed to
Madrid. She was to set out as soon as domestic circum•
stances would permit.
The present Cortes are to be dissolved as soon as the
Ministers have obtained their authority for the collec-
tion of the taxes.

Sir Charles Metcalfe, the Governor-General of Canada,
has prorogued the refractory Provincial Parliament.
Senor Olozago has taken refuge in Portugal, having
entered Castello Branco on the 19th ult. The autho-
rities immediately communicated with the Lisbon Go-
vernment, who dispatched orders for his reception with
the attention due to his exalted rank.

The funeral of Louis Brune, of Rouen, whose death
we announced a few days ago, took place on Wednesday.
The hearse was followed by an immense concourse of
persons of all ranks, by detachments of the national
guards and of the line ; the deceased having been a
member of the Legion of Honour, by several deputations
of Freemasons, &c. On the same day was buried at
Rouen, one of its most distinguished citizens, M. Bouctot,
who has left by will 100,000 E to the hospices, 100,000 E
to bureaux de bienfaisance, and 100,00uf. to other public
establishments.

The Houston Telegraph (Texas) intimates that a large
majority of Members of both Houses of Congress are in
favour of the annexation of Texas to the United States.
That paper, in speculating on this subject, says that
" notwithstanding the indirect admissions that have been
made by the intimate friends of the executive, that he is
opposed to annexation, we are still confident that he
really desires that the measure may be effected. He
may be restrained by some secret pledge to the British
Government, from openly advocating the measure, but
if a proposition were to be offered on the part of the
United States to renew the negotiations fur annexation,
we consider,it certain thaithe would accede to it with joy."
A letter from Ragusa, Dec. 4, states that shocks of an
earthquake continue to be felt every day more and more
sensibly. On the above day a violent shock took place
at half•past four in the morning, and roused up all the
inhabitants. It was followed by a number of lesser shocks.
Accounts from Monte Video of October 18, state that
the town was still besieged,-and blockaded, that Admiral
Brown had sent notice a day or two previously to the
different Consuls, and that it was his intention to enforce
the blockade. The Brazilian Admiral had received
orders to acknowledge the blockade, but the misunder-
standing between Brazil and Buenos Ayres, had not been
healed.

UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL.

An Instructive article on the subject of
"Slavery in Sinde," which we find in the present
Number of this periodical, represents the slave-
system as being, by no means so revolting to
humanity as it is in the southern States of
America. " The negroes," says Captain Hart,
" are always taken care of during their voyage
to India from their native country; and when
purchased, are, in the majority of instances,
treated with kindness and fbrbearance, and be-
come, in:consequence, warmly attached to their
purchasers." This is certainly a redeeming point
in the Sinde slave-system; nevertheless, we ex-
claim with Sterne, " Disguise it as thou wilt,
slavery, still thou art a bitter draught." A
" Voice from Cafferland" is a condensed abstract
of the political history of the colony of the Cape
of Good Hope, from the year 1805 down to the
present day.

CHURCH OF ENGLAND QUARTERLY

REVIEW.

As we seldom meddle with purely religious
questions, and this Review is almost exclusively
devoted to the consideration of such perplexing
themes, we shall be as brief as possible in our
notice, and content ourselves with observing
that the Number now lying before us contains,
among other articles, a clever essay on the
" Present Condition and Prospects of the Clergy."

OPINIONS OF THE PRPSS.

" We regard the work before us,'' The gilent Friend,' AS a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of cent-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we arc at a best o know.
Wernust, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim ef past folly, or suffer.
ieg from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."
—Age and Argus.
" The Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable bints it conveys to
those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
fall to recommend it to a careful perusal."--Era.

of this distressing complaint, and a little perseverance completely
removes it. Children's Coughs, as well as recent ones in adults, will
be removed by a few doses (frequently by the first), and asthmatic
persons, who previously had not been able to lie down In bed, have
received the utmost benefit from the use of

THE NEW REFORMATION.

Disunion flourishes in the Church of England. Her
followers differ in religious observances, the dignita-
ries do not decide. There are doubts as to forms and
doctrine among the laity, and the clergy do not re-
solve them. When an appeal is made to an Arch-
bishop, he sometimes answers, hut, for the most part,
he leaves the question nearly as it stood before. A
layman or a subordinate ecclesiastic gets no clue by
which he may escape from the labyrinth in which he
finds himself. To whatever side he faces, irresolution
and indecision mark the counsels of his superior. A.
few days back an Archdeacon gave it to be under-
stoood that all this began with the " true hearts,"
who effected the Refor.nation. Innovation, change,
and progress of some kind or the other are the order
of the day. We quoted a post or two ago the sugges-
tions of Archdeacon Wilberforce to his flock, and his
opinion of the method by which the downward course
of the Establishment may be arrested. To be sure,
he deprecated any approach to Catholicity; but it
was evident that when he moved, he moved towards
Rome. We find he did not speak without authority.
A petition signed by a Duke, some Earls, and many
legislators, has been addressed to the Archbishop of
Canterbury, praying that he would put in force those
measures of restoration, popularity, and relief already
broached by Archdeacon Wilberforce. They follow
in his track, and declare their conviction, that com-
munities, like those in the Catholic Church, would
conduce to the revival of confidence, and contribute
to connect the laity with the clerical order, from
which they have been dissevered. The simple in-
ference from this is, that, in the memorialists' opinion,
the clergy are inefficient or indolent, and that they
need the assistance of lay labourers to gather in the
vintage.—Southern Reporter.

INFLUENZA, COUGHS, AND COLDS.

QTAICO'S ESSENCE of LINSEED is the most
►y efficacious remedy ever discovered for the relief of persons suffer—
ing from Influenza ; the two first doses generally arrest the progress
of this distressing complaint, and a little perseverance completely
removes it. Children's Coughs, as well as recent ones in adults, will
be removed by a few doses (frequently by the first), and asthmatic
persons, who previously had not been able to lie down in bed, have
received the utmost benefit from the use of

GUILDHALL.

Robert Clffford, a journeyman carpenter, was
brought up for re-examination, charged with break-
ing a policeman's arm, under the following circum-
stances :—On Sunday morning last Samuel Coveney,
a City officer, was on duty at the corner of St. Mar-
tin's-le-Grand and Newgate street, when the prisoner
came up to him, and asked him which was Newgate-
street. The constable replied that was Newgate-
street where they were then standing, whereupon the
prisoner said it was "a d—d lie," and gave the con-
stable what is termed " the leg." Coveney fell upon
the pavement, and his arm was so much fractured,
that the elbow was forced upwards half-way to the
shoulder. He was immediately sent to St. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital, where the injury was found to be of
so serious a nature that he was obliged to become an
in-patient. Coveney was perfectly sober at the time;
the prisoner had been drinking, but appeared to know
very well what he was about when taken to the sta-
tion-house.

On Saturday the prisoner was again placed at the bar,
when the wounded officer was again unable to attend,
as will be seen from the following certificate from the
surgeon of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, which was
handed in :

" This is to certify, that Samuel Coveney is not in
a fit state to leave his bed and appear before the court
of magistrates.

" (Signed) "JAMES REID, House Surgeon.
" December 14."

Alderman JOHNSON said he should remand the pri-
soner to Saturday, the 21st instant, and ordered him
to be placed on low diet.

BOW-STREET.
William Ledbury, a stamper in the General Post-
office, was charged with stealing a letter containing
125., the property of the Postmaster-General.
Mr. Peacock attended for the prosecution, and called
Walter R. Sculthorpe, residing at No. 6, South-
square, Gray's Inn, one of the presidents at the Post-
office, who
„proved that on Friday afternoon he en-
closed 2s. ail(' a half sovereign in a letter addressed to
Mr. Smurdeh, Chapel.street, Islington. He sealed
the letter, after marking the money, and gave it to
Mr. Blott, an inspector of letter carriers. Witness,
from a communication with Mr. Blott, expected to
find the letter among the Islington letters this morn-
ing, but on searching them he could not discover it.
Witness had a communication with the superintending
president at ten o'clock, and the stampers, among
whom was the prisoner, were sent for into that gen-
tleman's office. He proposed that they should be
searched. They consented, and Tyrrell, the constable,
took some money, among which were two shillings,
from the pocket of the prisoner. Witness examined
the two shillings, and found they were the identicafl
shillings he had enclosed in the letter on the previous
evening. The prisoner said, after he was in custody,
that yesterday (Friday) as he was coming on duty he
had changed a sovereign at a Mr. Stevens's, a public- 1
house in Gutter-lane, and that the two shillings in 1
London, England, 1844-12-16

with the police of the D division, under Mr. Super-
intendent Hughes, succeeded in keeping the public from
those parts that were dangerous, and by such judicious
management, although during the day there were up-
wards of 9,000 skaters and sliders, not a single accident
occurred.

The pickpockets mustered very strongly in all the
parks, particularly in St. James's, where, from the ab-
sence of the police, it is supposed they made a rich
harvest. Several handkerchiefs, which could not easily
be carried, were hidden in various parts ; a white silk
one, with orange border, was deposited on one of the
hurdles near the Humane SoCiety's marquee.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT
DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

On Saturday night a frightful occurrence took
place at this theatre during the performance of the
Revolt of the Harem. In the second act of the ballet
the ladies of the harem are discovered bathing, among
whom Zulica, the royal slave (Miss Webster), is one.
During the scene the gas placed at the bottom of the
stage, or under the sunken portion of it, where the
water-pieces, or waves, are placed, caught the light
drapery of Miss Webster's dress, and in an instant
her whole person was enveloped in flames. This
frightful event, taking place on the stage, in sight Gf
the audience, the whole house was in a state of con-
sternation, and screams issued from the ladies in the
front of the boxes and pit, who were the first to per-
ceive the appalling accident. The unfortunate young
lady rushed round the stage, actually in a blaze,
uttering the most heart-rending cries, and in her
agony attempted to seize the dress of one of her com-
panions, but this lady had the presence of mind to
avoid close contact, to push her off, and thereby save
herself, although her own dress was for a moment on
fire. Miss Webster at last rushed towards the P.S.
wing, and was caught in the arms of a carpen-
ter, who, with great presence of mind, threw
her down and rolled himself over her, and thus
extinguished the flames, though, as it appears, at his
personal risk, for his hands and face are said to
have been much burnt in the generous effort to
rescue the sufferer. Miss 'Webster was instantly
taken to the green-room, when it was ascertained that
her arms, bosom, and face were severely burnt. Sur-
gical aid was procured, and the young lady, by desire
of her friends, was removed to the residence of Dr.
Locock, in Hanover-square. The accident was of
so sudden an occurrence that the whole scene did not
occupy the space of two minutes. The carpenter
who was injured in extinguishing the flames, was con-
veyed to the King's College Hospital in Carey-street,
near Clare-market. Whilst the house was in such
a state of alarm Mr. W. H. Payne, who played in
the ballet, endeavoured to address the audience, and
stated that hopes were entertained of Miss Webster
being only slightly injured, though at the moment
nothing but. the worst fears were entertained. The
ballet, notwithstanding the alarming occurrence, was
concluded in the usual way, though much delay ne-
cessarily took place.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

John Parker, a labouring man, was yesterday
brought before Mr. Maltby, by Lacy, the messenger
of St. George's, Hanover-square, on a charge of
having caused the death of his wife, by refusing to
allow her sufficient support.
The case was not gone into, as an inquiry before
the Coroner is to take place. The short facts appear
to be, that a suspicion arose some time ago that the
deceased was kept in a starving state by her hus-
band. The parish authorities were applied to, and a
warrant was issued against the husband for neglecting
to supply his wife with proper maintenance. The
woman died before the warrant was executed, and as
an impression got abroad that her death had been
accelerated by her husband's unfeeling conduct, the
warrant was put in force, and the man was taken into
custody.
Mr. MALTBY directed the prisoner to be remanded
until the result of the investigation before the Coroner
was known.

Captain William Breedon was charged with having
committed an unprovoked assault on a gentleman
named Falconer, living at No. 7, Wilton-street.
The complainant said he was walking along the
Haymarket at twelve o'clock last night, when he
suddenly received a blow on his body from the de-
fenda,nt, who was a total stranger to him. The blow
was so violent as to deprive him of his breath, and to
cause considerable pain to him ever since.
Mr. Willis, of No. 4, Trafalgar-square, saw the
assault, which was premeditated and perfectly unpro-
voked. He had previously watched the defendant,
who, as he passed along the street, menaced persons
with his cane ; but he took special care to avoid any
man whose bulk appeared likely to secure retaliation.
The prisoner said he lived at Kennington. In :re-
ference to the assault, he merely said he had been
quarrelling with his wife, and this had operated on his
temper. He had no intention of assaulting the com-
plainant.
Mr. MALTBY inflicted the full penalty of 51., or two
months' imprisonment.

CLERKEIV WELL.

Yesterday, Elizabeth _Lewis, a tall woman, was
charged by Mr. James Lewis, veterinary surgeon, of
Long-yard, Lamb's-conduit-street, with stabbing him.

The prisoner, who was charged on a warrant, was
so violent towards Bayson, the officer, that he was
compelled to convey her to the Court in a cabriolet.
It appeared that the parties had been married for
twelve years, and the defendant was addicted to in-
temperance, and disposed of property to indulge her
propensity. On Sunday last complainant remon-
strated with her on the impropriety of her conduct,
and the bad example she afforded to her children,
when she seized a fork, and running towards the
door, stabbed him in the back, and caused three
wounds by its prongs. He turned round to reproach
her, when she seized another fork and stabbed him
under the right shoulder. She was secured, and wit-
ness was taken to the hospital, where his wounds
were dressed. She had before maltreated him, and he
felt his life to be in danger from her violence.
The prisoner, in her defence said, the complainant
abused her in a shameful manner. He struck her
with a stick, and threw a chair at her.

Complainant said, he held up the chair to save
himself from the fork. He did not touch her before
she stabbed him. He was still unier the hands of the
surgeon.

Mr. COMBE (to the prisoner)—You must be com-
mitted till Friday next.
Prisoner (crying) —Oh, pray do not send me to
prison ; do not disgrace me.
Mr. COMBE—You should have thought of that be-
fore you used such a weapon.—She was then com-
mitted.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"We regard the work before us, The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views o: a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we rot only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victina of past folly, or suffer-
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."
--Age and Argus.
" The Authors of e The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to
those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
fail to recommerd it to a careful perusal."—Era.
