and stern ungracious qualification of the royal pre-
rogative of mercy announced by-the Home Secretary.

" Ifs verdict of guilty should be returned, however
erroneous it ;night be, and if the learned judge who
tried the case should be satisfied with .the verdict, there
was no human remedy; he would pass sentence, whether
of imprisonment, transportation for a term of years or
for life, or even of death itself; there was no power of
appeal, and sentence would be executed."
Might not thii have been most accurately said of
the strange sentence passed by Mr. Justice MAULS
on the unfortunate MARY FuaLEY; and the stranger.
humanity, which, removing that wretched woman
from the scaffold whence the indignant demand of
public fceiing had rescued her, condemned her to
seven years' transportation ?
We congratulate Mr. KELLY on his noble effort on
Thursday; and wish him all imaginal)le success in
the conduct of his " Bill to provide an Appeal in
Criminal Cases."

According to the accounts from Madrid of the 24th
ult., the two Queens and the Infanta were expected
to reach Valencia on the 23d, where they would re•
main till the 28th, and then proceed to Tarragona.
At Barcehma several political prisoners had been set
at liber:y in honour of the royal Nisit. The Court
were not to arrive in that city till the Ist inst.
The Three per Cents. were done at 28-a for cash,
and 28i at sixty days ; the Five per Cents. at 204 for
cash, and 2011 at CO days.

Nearly all the Paris papers have articles on the
brilliant speech made by M. TRIERS relative to
French interests in South America, from which we
have already given extracts. Those of the Opposi-
tion dwell upon it with admiration, and describe the
effect produced by it in the Chamber as almost un-
precedented. His severe attacks on M. GUIZOT'S
foreign policy has called forth a bitter reply in the
Journal des Debats. "It is easy," says the writer,
,‘ with talent, imagination, and a sincerity that is
not
,over scrupulous, to compose an historical ro-
mance of the vicissitudes which may have been
experienced by a few Frenchmen, urged by a spirit
of adventure, or the excitement of local passions, to
take part in the quarrel of the two republics. It is
easy to excite the passions of an audience by an
exaggerated picture of those sufferings, and
to 'throw responsibility on the Government
of a country, and disgrace upon its policy:
All this is so easy, that it requires but little talent,
and in this M. TnzErts is not wanting. Consequently
his romance had full success on all the Opposition
benches. We doubt of its having the same success
with men of reflection, who do not content themselves
with this cosmopolite sensibility when permanent in-
terests and invariable principles, which a government
ought to maintain, are in question, and which should
be defended equally against the importunities of their'
fellow-countrymen and the pretensions of foreign
Powers. What would be the fate of a government
condemned to draw the sword at the command of
every passion that chooses to display itself, and wield
it from one end of the world to the other ? What would
become of the dignity of a nation obliged to make
itself the Don Quixote of every private interest which
may involve itself in quarreli of Republics or Kings?
Is it not evident that we are called upon to make univer-
sal war against all corners and on every occasion—was
sgaist all seekers of adventures, and for the profit of
every one who may choose to speculate upon the
great name of France ? France has made one war
upon Rosiss, and imposed a treaty upon him, the
terms of which she knows how to compel him to
respect. France never avails herself of her strength
unjustly against the weak. She makes a point of
honour to respect her engagements, even when she
can violate them with perfect safety to herself. It is
this policy which enables her to march with her fore-
head open, and hold her head high in the councils of
nations. 'l'tie advice now given to her is the policy
of a corsair; but it will never be the policy of the
statesmen who have during four years protected
the peace of Europe against the extraordinary prin-
ciples maintained yesterday by M. TRIERS. The
speech by which the Minister of Marine replied to

the wanderings of M. TRIERS secured him adistin-
guished place among our statesmen. It is impossible
for any one to use language more firm, more con-
vincing, snore moderate, more conciliating. The
Minister of Foreign Affairs will to-morrow put the
finishing stroke to this invention. He has promised
to do so, and will keep his word. We, therefore,

have no fears for the result. M. Tniaas had long
meditated this blow, destined, no doubt, to overturn
the Ministry, but which has not even made it shake.
He may at his ease calumniate the Government and

the country. His attacks may be pleasing to the
enemies of France, but this is all he can hope for at
present. Power—thanks be to GOD !—is not yet
ready to fall into the hands of those who, while they
are longing to grasp it, are engaged only in de-
basing it."
The Chamber, as a tribute of repect to the memory
of M. LAFFITTE, did not meet on the day of his fune-
ral, which was attended by nearly all the members,
and attracted vast crowds. We are glad to learn,
that, up to the hour of post, every thing passed off
quietly. An account of the funeral will he found in
anoth r column.

On Thursday the Three per Cents. had risen to
84r.

- The following are extracts from the papers :
The National says that M. Laffitte has bequeathed a life-
interest in his property to his widow. He has left, says this
ihirnal, three testamentary executors : Dr. Delaberge, M.
Aumont Thieville, the notary, and M. Lebaudy, one of the
'directors of the Caisse du Commerce et de l'lndustrie.
The Quothlienne, alluding to the statement in the German
papers, about a_ projected marriage between the Duke de
Bordeaux and a Neapolitan Princess, says :—" This pretended
news has not the slightest foundation. .No negotiation of
marriage has been entered into Kith the Court of NaPles, in
the tame of the Duke de Bordeaux. The. Count de Montbel,
who is represented as anunsuccessful negotiator at Naples, has,
since his return front France, been in attendance at the pillow
of the august son of Charles X., and it is not of marriage
miost certainly that the royal family are thinking at present."
'We learn bynGeneva journal of the 28th that the dis-

turbauce in the Valais is regarded- as effectuallyquelled. The
Cliand Council has resumed its sittings, and issued a decree
for the immediate dissolution of the armed society of La Jeune
Suisse, to which it attributes all the recent disasters. The
members of this society, who should refuse to obey the in-
janctions.of the Council, are to be regarded as rebels.
A letter• from Constantinople, May 13, in the Courrier
Francais, says :—" Affairs -are becoming more and more
menacing, the whole province is in revolt, and bands have
united together in great bodies, which • spread alarm and
destruction everywhere: According to the latest news, the
town of Souda was attacked by 15,000 AlbanianS, and closely
blockaded. Ali 13ev was coming with 3,000 men to the suc-
cour of the town. After a desperate conflict he rode through
the ranks of the Albanians, and penetrated into the town.
The Turkish soldiers had fought with courage, having
left eight hundred men dead on the- field. Notwith-
standing the augmentation of the garrison, the Alba-
nians continued to invest the town. Hussein-Pacha,
who had entered with 5,000 • troops into Albania, has lost a
considerable number of men. He was- obliged to retire to
Monastic, the principal position of the Turkish army, under
the orders of the Seraskier of Itoumelia. Another Turkish
corps had succeeded in occupying the defiles of Keprelu,
which prevents all communication between the mountains
and the Valleys Aegripalanta, a town in Roumelia, between
Uslarp and (.;'vsten, where there Was no Turkish garrison,
was taken and pillaged by the Albanians. They have, it is
said, iras,nered more than 1,000 Christians. • This week a
body of infantry, :3,800 strong, has Eet out from Constan-
tinople for :donas:it. It is asserted that M. de 'Moil has re-
conimen&tt the Porte to arm the Christians, and employ them
against the Albanians."

in the City having called to inspect it, and have signified
their satisfaction at the important objects which it is intended
to accomplish, and for which the experiments instituted in
her Majesty's dockyards, and on board one or two iron

Mr. Entwisle was then declared duly elected, and the mee

ARRIVAL OF TWO SOVEREIGNS.
The Emperor of Russia reached Woolwich late on
Saturday night in a Government steamer, and immedi-
ately proceeded to town. He arrived► in London about
half-past eleven o'clock, and drove, we believe, to Mivart's
Hotel.

The King of Saxony arrived at Buckingham Palace
on Saturday from the Isle of Wight. He is a fine looking
man, nearly six feet high. His countenance bespeaks a
high degree of intelligence, combined with a benevolent
and afeable expression. The object of his Majesty's visit
to England, apart from the natural desire to pay his
respects to the Queen, is stated to be, that he may have
an opportunity of viewing the magnificent resources of
Great Britain, as shown in her manufactures, and in the
high state of cultivation at which she has arrived. His
Majesty is accompanied by his Prime Minister, M.
Minkowitz, with whom he frequently engages in conver-
sation on subjects concerning the relative condition of
England and the various continental governments. The
Xing is in his forty-seventh year, though, from the loss
of some of his front teeth, his appearance would indicate
that he was ten years older.
The Emperor of Russia, we understand, proceeded
to Buckingham Palace at an early hour on Sunday, to
pay his respects to the Queen, and in the evening a
dinner was given in honour of the two Sovereigns. The
Emperor Nicholas is in the 48th year of his age. He is
of a dark complexion, has a fine, manly appearance, and
the most unaffected demeanour. His manner altogether
forms a perfect contrast to the accounts published of
him in several foreign journals. He paid a visit to this
country some twenty-eight years ago, accompanied by
his brother, the Grand Duke Michael.

DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, Aliv 30.—The Princess Clementine and
her consort, Prince Augustus of Saxe Coburg, arrived
at half-past seven on Wednesday evening, by a special
train at the railway station, where the Royal carriages
were ready, in which they proceeded direct to the Pa-
lace of Lacken.

The Chamber of Representatives has at length con-
cluded to-day the debate on the timber duties. Before
commencing the debate on the article -coffee M. Du-
mortier and M. Rogier proposed that this article should
be reserved to be discussed in a Secret Committee, or
that the Chamber should immediately examine the ex-
ceptions that may be made in favour of the European
eittrepots. This was opposed by the Minister of the In-
terior. It was resolved that the whole tariff should first
be discussed, and that the exceptions to be made should
be afterwards examined in Committee.

The Government proposes a reduction of 25 per cent.
' in favour of the national flag, on coffee brought direA
from the countries where it grows. Messrs. Rodenbach
and I)umortier proposed an amendment* to give an ad-
vantage of 35 per cent. to the national flag. This amend-
ment was rejected.
The.average price of wheat, last week, was 17f. 10e.,
and that,of rye 10f. 86c. The duties on importation
and exportation remain as before.
THE HAGUE, MAY 30.-11 is Majesty the Emperor of
Russia arrived here this morning, at half-paSt eleven
o'clock. The King being informed of his coming, went
some way to meet him and accompanied him to the
palace, where he was welcomed by her Majesty the
Queen, his sister. The Emperor intends to set out to-
morrow for London, and will afterwards return to the
[ague and spend a few days. •
MAY 31.—The Emperor 41 Russia, with a numerous
suite, set out this morning frorn, Rotterdam, to embark
for London. A project of lati has been presented to the
Second Chamber of the States-General, for adding the
sum. of 156,000 florins ,to the fifth chapter of the budget
of the expenditure of 1844-45, which sums are destined
for the improvements of the roads in the province of
Friesland.

THAMES .ROYAL YACHT CLUB.
GRAND- CHALLENGE CUP.—The announced great race for
the 10th of July, is at present the leading feature in the
aquatic circles. Subjoined are the winners since the first
institution of this great contest with the entries for the forth-
coming race : sri
1840. The Gazelle. 184 The Ada.
1841. The Champion. 1843. The Enigma.

• The Challenge Cup is a floating prize, open to twenty.
five ton yachts of any Royal Yacht club, and must be won
two following Seasons by the same yacht before it becomes
the property of the owner: It was, however, determined at
the last Thames Yacht meeting, that a prize, value twenty-
five guineas, should be presented to the holder of the one
year, who shoild be unsuccessful on the second. Such a list
of powerful competitors we have never before remembered,
and the equality of the.. tonnage, with the exception of the
EXquisite, renders it difficult for the most observant yachter
to determine which to back.

DUDLEY OLD itxx.—The creditors of this bank
received a dividend of 55., in the pound on Wednesday last.
This is the second dividend, which, with the first, amounting
to 6s. Bd. in the pound; settles better than half the demands
upon.the estate, which it is now confidently asserted will pay
full 20s. in the pound.
On Saturday the annual Pitt dinner was held in
Merchant Tailors' Hall, Threadneedle-street. About
130 noblemen, Members of Parliament, and other gentle-
min, sat down to dinner, the Right Hon. Lord Fever-
sham in the chair. Amongst the company present were
the Earls of Eldon and Dartmouth, Lords Farnham and
Kenyon, Sir R. Carr Glynn, Sir John Chetwode, and
Sir John Crosse,. Barts. ; the Hon. Lloyd Kenyon, the
Hon. A. Duncombe, Col. Stewart Vyse, Major-General

Esq., M.P., G. W. J. Repton, Esq., 1V1.P., C. M. Hullah,
Esq., the master of the company, nearly all the wardens,
as well as the most leading Conservatives of the City of
London. The usual loyal and' patriotic toasts having
been drunk, the toast of the evening, " The Immortal
Memory of the Hon. William Pitt," was given, and re-
ceived with the greatest applause. Numerous other
toasts, were drunk in the course of the evening, and the
company broke up about eleven o'clock.
EXTRAORDINARY BIRTLI.—On the evening of Whit
Monday, Susan Hobbs, wife of Michael Hobbs, an hclus-
trious labourer of Chiswick, was delivered of four chil-
dren, two boys and two girls. One of the boys died soon
alter its birth ; the other three were baptised the same
evening by the Rev. Mr. Bowerbank, the vicar. The
second boy has since died, but the two girls were living
yesterday. The mother is doing well. The parents are
poor industrious people, with a large family, even before
