SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND
Vtibtic Optition,

" Who runs may read."

FOUEIGN.
The boundary treaty between Fiance and Morocco has been sent
to France by General Delarue, for the King's signature. The
. .

. .
General will wait at A:giers for .he return of M. Roche, who is
the bearer of the treaty, and will then go to Tangiers for the ex-

change of the ratifications.
The Ecbo of Oran of the 22d ult., contains a long account of
the meeting between the Commissioners of France and Morocco,

for the settlement of the boundary question.

It appears that

each of the Commissioners had with him a force of 400 men, and
that there was a constant interchange of courtesy, without anything
like ill.feeling on the part of the. Moorish escort.
Dr. Wolff had arrived in Malta on his return to England, and

proceeded by the steamer on the 28th ult.
Intelligence from Alexandria of the 22d ult. states, that Mehe-
met Ali had return.id to Cairo from Upper Egypt, and was expected
at Alexandria. It was presumed that during the Pacha•s stay at
Cairo some definite measure would be taken with regard to the

rai'road in the desert between Cairo and Suez, for which purpose

fr. J. Galloway, the engineer, had recently come out to Egypl

from London.

The sale of Cardinal Fetch's picture-gallery commenced on the
17th ult., at Rome. An idea may be formed of the value of the
collection from the fact that a landscape of Hobbema fetched
6,400 crowns (nearly 35,000 f.)
A few days ago an English vessel from China went ashore near
Etaples (pas.de-Calais). The crew, consisting of 17 petsons,
were saved, and hopes were entertained that this would be the
case also with the vessel and cargo, which were estimated at nearly

100,0001. ; but it appears, by an account of some of the journals,
that they have been wholly lost.

3,AVir AND POZECNI.
In the Sheriffs Court, Mr. Kemp, officer to the Sheriff of Mid-
dlesex, proclaimed the following persons as outlaws :—Robert

Bramall, and James Duthie.

At Liverpool assizes, William Jones, aged nineteen, was indicted
before Mr. Justice Coltman, for the wilful murder of Richard Fair_
Clough, at Liverpool, on the 15th of December last. The deceased
was a police-constable, and in his official capacity interposed to
prevent the prisoner from ill.using a female, when the prisoner
struck him on the head with a piece of iron, and killed him. The
jury found him guilty of manslaughter of the most aggravated cha-
racter, and he was sentenced to be transported for life.
John Hurley, a powerful young man, an apprentice on board the
Duke William, a merchant vessel, was charged, at Guildhall, with
absconding from the ship. The prisoner, who had been a mer.
chant's clerk, but had taken a fancy to the sea service, seemed to
have had quite enough of this his first voyage. He cried bitterly,
and said he would never go to sea again, it was so dangerous. Mr.
Alderman Hughes Hughes said he must go to the gaol or the ship.
However, ultimately he remanded him, in order to give him an
opportunity of sending to Cork to his friends, who are highly re-
spectable.
A young woman, named Ann Crittle was brought up at the
Mansion-house, for final examination, upon the charge of having

committed a robbery in the house of her master, Mr. Howard,
hemp-merchant, of No. 39, Mark lane, and committed for trial.
At Southwark Richard Robinson, Robert Robinson, and
Thomas William Allingham, watermen, were fined five shillings
each for obstructing Captain Fisher, principal harbour-master of
the port of London, in the removal of a barge, moored on the
Surrey side of London bridge, and which was used for embarking
and landing passengers from the steamboats.

laid out as an ornamental garden, instead of being an open gra-

was a disfigurement and nuisance, has been already removed.

We are informed, on the best authorit:,, that the Grand June—

comes into operation.

It is somewhat difficult to conceive upon what principle it
is that the Government of India is about to increase the du-
ties upon imports, cotton twist and thread excepted. Still
we understand, by the private letters which have come to
hand by the Overland Mail from Bombay, that this is really
in contemplation. The Bombay Chamber of Commerce have
been most active to prevent so absurd a proceeding; and no
doubt the Committee of the East India and China. Associa-
tion here will very soon meet, to memorialise the India Board
upon the subject. The course of policy of the Legislative
Council is considered the more extraordinary by our mer-
chants, as it is so contrary to the movements of the home
Government with respect to the tariff of Great Britain.
The announcement has taken most people by surprise,
and no doubt a vigorous opposition will be given to it here
as well as in India. The intention is also most inopportune,
as commerce, after a period of very considerable depression,
had began to show symptoms of a rally, which had been
hailed with much satisfaction by all parties interested in
trade. We hear that the treasury at Calcutta is somewhat
embarrassed. It certainly is not the right way to improve
the finances of India by placing restrictions on its trade.
