On Tuesday afternoon the King of the French and Madame
Adelaide, accompanied by General Ay marl, Colonel de Cha•
bannes, the Count de Montalivet, and the Marquis de Strada,
paid a visit to St. Cloud, but returned to Neuilly to dinner.
In the evening, their Majesties received the English, Aus-
trian, and Neapolitan Ambassadors, the Pope's Nuncio, Duke
Decazes, Marquis de Pange, Baron Reinach, M. Dupin, sen.,
and M. Boulay de la Meurthe.
The King and Queen of the Belgians arrived at Neuilly on
Thursday evening. Her Majesty was to accompany the
Royal Family to Dreux, to assist at the funeral service which
is to be celebrated there for the repose of the soul of the Duke
of Orleans on the 13th, the anniversary of his death.
A telegraphic dispatch announces the arrival of the four
Spanish Ministers at Madrid on the ith inst.

The Queen of Spain has conferred the Order of Charles 11.
upon M. Azevedo, Prefect of the Basses-Pyrenees, in testi-
mony of her satisfaction at the good offices which he has ren-
dered to her government.
Count Alexander of Wirtemberg, cousin of the King, died
on the 7th inst., aged 43.

" All accounts (—says the Coizstitutionnel) concur in giving
a sad picture of our establishment at the Marquesas. A lady
who has accompanied thither her husband, an officer of the
Staff, writes that she has found nothing but privations and
misery."

We have already announced the intention of the Council
of` the Order of Advocates of the Cour Royale to appeal
against the decision of their judges. On learning their inten-
tion, which has now been carried into effect, the members of
'the Council of-Advocates of the Court of Cassation tendered,
says the Commerce, their aid in the appeal to the members of
the other bar.

On the sth inst. two Englishwomen, mother and daugh-
ter, accompanied by the two children of the latter, went on
the jetty at Ostend, with the intention, as has been since
avowed, of first drowning the children and then themselves.
They had thrown in one of the children, when they were ob-
served by some persons on the spot, who saved it. The
younger of the females then declared, in answer to the ques-
tions which were put to her, that distress and despair at hav-
ing been abandoned by her husband had suggested this. pro-
ject of murder and suicide, in which her mother had ciYnsentsd
to participate. The Constitutionnel, in which we find this
account, does not inform us what was done with these wo-
men, whose wretchedness must have been extreme indeed to
have urged them to such a course,
Accounts from Trieste state that the insurgents captured in
Calabria have been shot.

LAW AND POLICE.
At the Abingdon Assizes a young man of the name of
Robins was indicted for the abduction of Jane Willavise, a
girl under the age of 16. The prosecutor, a large farmer, re-
siding at West Woodhay, in this county, has about 600 acres
of land, and his rent is 700/. per annum. The prisoner, every
good-looking youth, was his under-carter. After evidence in
proof of the charge had been heard, the fair subject, the cause
of poor Robin being placed in a dock, a well-looking lass,
whose age seemed to be at least 19, stated that there had
been little love affairs between her and the prisoner, and that
their elopement was planned between them the night before
it took place, and that it was she who offered to inn away
with him, and not he with her. The prisoner was found
guilty, and sentenced to a fine of Is., which being instantly
paid to the sheriff, he was discharged, amidst loud applause,
The Western Circuit commenced at Winchester on the
10th. The calendar shows the names of twenty-seven pri-
soners. Out of these there are two cases of manslaughter,
one forgery, two burglaries, three highway robberies, one
rape, two assaults with intent, &c. ; three eases of arson, one
case of cutting, and one case of shooting with intent to
murder. Mr. Justice Patteson presides on the Civil, and Mr.
Justice Wightman on the Crown side.
The Hon. William Touchet was brought up at Bow-street
for re-examination, charged with firing a loaded pistol at
Thomas Smith, gun-maker and proprietor of a shooting-
gallery, 288, High Holborn, with intent to murder him. The
prisoner was brought in the van at ten o'clock from Clerken-
well new prison, and he evinced the same indifference that he
(lid at the last examination. It appears from the following
certificate that Mr. Smith is not able to appear before the
Court :—" I certify that the patient, Thomas Smith, although
having gone on favourably up to last night, is not so well this
morning, and I cannot pronounce him out of danger.
(Signed) GEo. ROYDE, House Surgeon, Bartholomew's
Hospital, July 12, 1844, half-past ten o'clock. a.m." The
prisoner was remanded for a fortnight.
At Marlborough-street James Riley, valet to Lord North-
land, No. 38, Pall-mall, was charged with having stolen a
10/. note, the property of his master. The defence of the
prisoner was, that he had received the note from his master
In order to pay for ss. worth of stamps. Lord Northland
said he certainly desired his valet to buy some stamps, but
he gave him ss. in silver for that purpose. The prisoner was
remanded for a few days.

FIVE DAYS LATER FROM THE
UNITED STATES.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.
By the packet-ship Garrick, Captain B. J. H. Trask,
which arrived this mc,rning from New York, in sixteen
days, we have received papers to the 26th ult., being
five days later than those brought by the Rochester,
which arrived yesterday. The following is a summary
of the news :

WASHINGTON, JUNE 24.---The rumour relative to the ob-
jects of the extra session of the Cabinet was true in part. /t
is now alleged that an extra session of Congress will be
necessary to consider the affairs of Texas, and to annex that
countryso ours, in consequence of new light which has been
discovered on the subject of the movement of the British
Government. It is also said that England, is desirous of
making a commercial treaty with Texas on the free trade
principle, or at least on terms of reciprocity, and to interpose
her good offices in securing the recognition of the indepen-
dence of Texas by the Government of Mexico.
The New York Express of the 26th says " We have seen
the dispatches just received by General Alm onte, the Mexican
Minister, now residing in this city. It seems that the
Mexican Government are fully determined to keep Texas.
Senor Bocanegra, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs in Mexico,
tells Senor Almonte, in the strongest terms, that Mexico will
never assent to the annexation—that the Government and
the nation are determined to resist the project, and reject all
proposals for its consummation, whether accompaniedby offers
of compensation or otherwise. General Almonte is instructed
to contradict any assertion or intimation of a different cha-
racter to this."
The Madisonian contains a treaty which has been con-
cluded between the United States and France, and duly rati-
fied by both Governments. The convention is for the mutual
surrender of criminals other than political, escaping from one
country to the other.
A great repeal meeting was held, on the 25th June, at
which it is stated 12,000 persons were present. The object
of the meeting was to collect money to pay the fine upon
O'Connell, and 1,000 dollars were reported to have been re-
ceived, whenthe meeting adjourned to the following evening.
A paper called the Nauvoo Expositor having been esta-
blished in opposition to the Mormon impostor, Joe Smith, on
Monday, the 10th of June, a company consisting of some two
or three hundred of the Nauvoo Legion, assisted by as many
volunteers, armed with muskets, swords, pistolie bowie-knives,
&c., marched up in front of the office of the Expositor—en-
tered the building by breaking open the (iooe with a sledge-
hammer, and destroyed the press and all the materials, by
throwing them into the street and setting the whole on fire.
The Catholic citizens of Philedelphia had prepared an ad-
dress in reply to the presentnent of the grand jury, relating
to the late serious riots, elieging that they had been grossly
misrepresented by betty. It was feared another outbreak
would take place ',al the 4th July.
Sir C. Metce2e had proceeded to Montreal, which was now
formerly adopted as the seat of Government.
The ;,late of the crops in the United States is very favour-
ablre. In the western section of the State full crops of wheat
will be realised. The harvest, generally, is a fortnight earlier
than usual, and in Washington county the farmers are
busily engaged in cutting their wheat.
MONEY AND :COMMERCIAL.
ASHES.—Pots continue in very limited request, and we still
quote 4 dolls. 181 c. to 4 25c.; the sales principally at the
former price. pearls are very inactive, at 4 50c.
BEES WAX.—This article is in very fair demand, and sales
of prime northern yellow have been made at 291 to 30c.
Corroze.—The sales have again been limited, not exceed-
ing 300 to 400 bales, for manufacturers. Shippers will not
purchase unless at a decline, which holders are not at present
willing to accede to. Freights are dull, andvessels cannot
get id. for square to Liverpool. Indeed, one or two vessels
would take less, to tal up, were it offered.
Foreign exchanges still continue very high, and we can see
no probability of the rates being reduced for some time. Our
imports have been so very large; and our exports so very
limited, that the balance of trade must be regulated by ship-
ments of specie. The stocks of cotton on hand in the prin-
cipal markets of this country and in Liverpool are very large
—in the aggregate more than two hundred thousand bales
larger than at the same time last year. A very large por-
den of the cotton held in Liverpool is on account of advances
made to owners here, who are holding on to the last moment
for an advance. Cotton laying in Liverpool is, in fact, ex-
ported from this country, but as returns have not been real-,
ised, it can hardly yet be valued in the exportation up, to this
moment.

The rate of Exchange on London io 109 to 109 g.

Low FARES ON THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM
RAILWAY.-It appears from Mr. Laing's paper appended to
the Select Committee's Report, that at present the London.
and Birmingham Company carry 780,000 passengers per an-
num, an average distance of 66 miles each. Of this muntxr
37 per cent. pay 3d. per mile, 54 per cent. 2d., and 9 per cent.
Id. Supposing the company to run third-class carriages at
Id. per mile, with all their trains, and allowing that 15 per
cent. paid 3d._per mile, 30 per cent. paid 2d., and 55 per cent.
Id., they would require to carry 2,979,670 persons (or nearly
four times the present number) an average distance of 30
miles each, to secure the same gross returns ; or, as the ex-
penditure would be increased, the number must be raised to
3,500,000 to retain the existing amount of nett profit—Rail-
waf Record,
17111.1 LANDOWNERS AND RAILWAYS..—It W 23 givm
in evidence before the Select Committee, that no less a sum
than 8,500,0001. has been expended by Railway Comrinies,
in England and Scotland, on land and " compensation.
This is about; an average of 5,0004 a mile. On the Paris and.
Rouen Railway, the item was 2,300/. a mile.• The average
Belgium is 2,7504 a mile.--Railway Record.
