A few days ago, as some men were ramming in the
powder to blow up a portion of the rock of the tunnel for the
Paris and Rouen Railway, at Rolleboise, an explosion took place,
and the iron rod, which had been used as a rammer, entered
the breast of one of the workmen, and killed him. Another
man bad his leg broken, and a third was severely injured.

MONEY MARKET 4,nd CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
POST.—The important question brought under the consi-
deration of Parliament yesterday evening, by the Premier, has
engrossed the almost exclusive attention of the City interests
during the day. The Minister's statement may lie said to have
given satisfaction so far as the matter has been examined, espe-
cially that part of the arrangement which is calculated to check
the system of jobbing, both here and on the Continent, to
evade the operation of the revenue law. It is thought that
the importation of wheat under the new scale will be at rates
of duty generally ranging between 6s. and 95., or 10s. per qr.
CHRONICLE.—The most correct description of the feel-
ing produced in commercial circles, by the new sliding scale
proposed last night by Sir Robert Peel, is that of general dis •
appointment. The funds, which are the truest indices of ,
public feeling in the monetary world, have shown na sympa-
thy with the Cabinet measure. It is not considered by mode-
rate men of any political section as sufficient to settle the ques-
tion, or to contain within itself such elements of useful change
as can entitle it to their support.
TIMES.—It is scarcely necessary to say that the new mea-
sure relative to the duties on corn almost wholly engrossed at-
tention in the city, and it is sat.sfactory to be le to state
generally with regard to it, that it meets with a more favour-
able reception from all parties than might have been antici-
pated. The classes who may be said to take a lively interest in
the question, so far as the city is concerned, are the merchants,
the dealers in corn, and those capitalists, a pretty numerous
portion, who have invested largely in landed property. These
last, however, are all more or less imbued with a commercial
feeling, which renders their views of such State measures
more liberal than those of the retired landholder, who is occu-
pied exclusively with his own position.
The mere mercantile view of the question has reference ne-
cessarily to the possibility of rendering corn an object of regu-
lar commerce, and not something which the merchants can
hardly venture to touch without hazard, and mixing up specu-
lation with their ordinary habits. These would, no doubt,
have greatly preferred a fixed duty, but we think it may safely
be said that this proposition of Sir H. Peel's is a sort of ap-
proximation to a fixed duty with which they are in a great
measure content.

lIER ALD. —The opening of the Ministerial measure fur
the future regulation of the trade in corn has been favourably
received in the City to-day by moderate men of all parties, and
even in quarters where it has not been exactly approved, and
where the scale of reduction in the duties proposed is not con-
sidered to be carried sufficiently low, the weight of the argu-
ments adduced by the Alinister in support of his own project and
views is admitted on all hands to be almost conclusive and irre-
sistible. It is not to be denied, however, that a rather lower range
of duties upon the variable scale would not have been unaccept-
able in commercial circles, and it is believed that such lower range
would not be incompatible with that adequate protection to
agriculture which no one whose head is equal to the working
of a common syllogism-will dispute to be indispensable ; but
from the difficulties which it is well known beset the solution
of the Corn-law question, and. the consideration mutually title
one to another between great national interests, it is properly
felt that a slight difference only in a matter of fiscal or tariff
arrangement ought not to be permitted to disturb the harmony
which should exist between them, or to engender and perpe-
tuate discord.

The cold has been so intense at Barcelona that the
water in the theatre which was to be employed in imitating a
fountain in a ballet, was frozen there a few nights ago during
the performances.

Learning appears to be making great progress in
the Island of Sardinia. At the University of Cagliari, which
in 1825 reckoned only 270 students, the number increased in
1832 to 302, and in the present year amounts to 499.
A violent shock of an earthquake was felt at Pyr-
gos, in the Peleponnesus, on the 31st ult. It lasted 4} se.
conds, and was followed by several other shocks, less strong
during the night. The shock came as if from the island of
Zante. The Leipsic Gazette, from which we derive this in-
telligence, gives no particulars of any' damages.
In the House of Commons on Wednesday night the
Bill for the Better Regulation of Railways was read a first
time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday Feb. 21.

On Sunday last, a child was born in the parish
of Bocking, and named Thomas Harris, who has now living
two great grandfathers and two great grandmothers, a grand-
father and grandmother, on his father's side; arid on his mo-
ther's, a great grandfather and great grandmother, besides a
grandfather and grandmothermaking ten of these ancestors
in all. If the whole were collected together at the christening
it was a grand set out.—Essex Herald.
FRENCH BREAD-EATERS.—The French have,
of old, been noted as gri at bread• eaters. They have a proverb
"Paintant qu'il dure, yin a mesure," which may be translated,
Eat bread at pleasure,
Drink wine by measure.
Randle Cotgrave, in his Dictionary published in 16 il, ob-
serves that the proverb contains'' a precept which the French
observe in the first (howsoever in the second) part; for no
people eat more bread, nor have better bread to eat, than they."
BIRTHS EXTRAORDINARY.—At Aylesbury,
on the Ist instant, Jane, wife of Daniel Jacock, shoemaker,
Castle-street, of twin daughters. This being the fifth time of
her giving birth to twins, and six single children, seven of the
twins are now living and three of the others ; four of the
former are under two years of age, who with their mother are
likely to do well.

SOLDIERS' CHILDREN.—It is admitted by all
writers on Military Statistics, that—comparatively speaking—
but few of the children of soldiers ever reach the age of matu-
rity ; and those who are so fortunate, are of inferior size and
stamina to the children:of mechanics and agricultural labourers;
while their moral character will not admit of a comparison.—
Naval and Military Gazette.

NECK AND- NECK.—Mr. David Hinchcliffe,
an operative fancy weaver, residing at Mold-green, Hudders-
field, was married on the same day our Gracious Queen was
united to Prince Albert ; his wife was delivered of a daughter
the same day the Princess Royal was born ; and she also gave
birth to a son the same day the Prince of Wales came into the
world Cheltenham Examiner.

Last week an inquest was held at :Bromsgrove,
Worcestershire, on the body of Henry Cartwright. aged five
years, a pauper in the workhouse. It appeared that the sur-
geon of the establishment had ordered the nurse to prepare a
bath containing a solution of the sulphuret of potash, for
curing the children of itch. Nineteen were immersed; the
cuns,quence of which was that one died three days afterwards,
and four others were more or less affected. The Jury returned
a verdict accordingly, at the same time censuring the conduct of
the surgeon as " injudicious and negligent."
At an inquest held at Brighton on Tuesday, on the
body of James Brieger, aged 38, servant at the Gloucester
Hotel, the Jury returned a special verdict to the effect that
the deceased died from being po soned through eating sprats."
It happened sprats on the Friday previous had been abundant,
but in a state not fit for human fond.

A young woman, named Clotilde Falcoz, only 24
years of age, who had been seduced and abandoned by a
young man, came from Paris a few days since to Noyers, in
the Saone et Loire, aid there, in the hotel where she took up
her abode, destroyed herself with the fumes of charcoal. She
had brought a brazier and a supply of charcoal with her from
Paris in her trunk. Before carrying her fatal design into exe-
cution, she wrote a long letter of four pages to her faithless
lover, in which she begged that he would have her buried by
the side of his owr. mother.

The police arrested a receiver of stolen goods,
named Linck, the morning before last, at his lodgings in
the Rue du Renard-St. Sam eur, where a large quantity of
articles fraudulently obtained were discovered. While the
officers were searching the premises the belt rang, and a
fashionably dressed young man came in to ask for M. Linek.
The police agents smelt a rat, took the liberty of interrogat•
ing, and at length of searching the person of the visitor, and
found him in possession of a silver plate which he had stolen
that morning, while breakfasting alter a masked ball, from
the restaurateur's, in the Maison Doree, at the corner of the
Rue Laffitte. He had formerly been a student, and is o
respectab'e family . Both captives were transferred to the
Prefecture of Po:ice.

Mr. Evans, Chairman of the Carnarvon Conference,
in his speech at the Crown and Anchor, on Thursday, stated
that the assistance of the Ministers of the Gospel in the Prin-
cipality could not be obtained; but omitted to add, as was his
intention, the words "at fir t." A chapel is opened in every
district in North Wales for the friends of the good cause; and
the Independent and Baptist Ministers now publicly declare
themselve in its favour. From the six counties petitions have
just been sent to Parliament, signed by nearlyso,ooo individuals.
The King of Prussia left Laeken at half-past four;
on. Saturday afternoon, for Antwerp, and as soon as he ar-
rived in that city went on immediately, without stopping, for
Breda.
A Berlin letter in the Swabian Mercury says :
" The increasing intimacy between Prussia and England be-
comes daily matter of reflection for those w ho take an interest
in State affairs. Although the number of resident English
here is not great, there has been lately erected a church in
which the English service is performed, and which is also at-
yo of our citizens."
f Sweden, according to a letter of the
8 n
Christiana, has decided upon opening the Stor-
ttiheitnrhdlgel udiel Kingntl7from many
person,na and was to proceed accordingly to Christiana
on the 6th or 7th instant.

CORN.-LAWS.--At public meeting, convened for
the purpose of taking into consideration Sir Robert Peel's mo-
tion on the Corn-laws, and which was held 3esterday at the
King's Arms Tavern, Rhillip. lane, in the City, it was the all-
but-unanimous opinion of the meeting (there being but one
hand held up for the contrary)—" That Sir R. Peel's proposed
alteration of the Corn-laws is an insult to the people of this
country." It was them proposed, and carried unanimously,
That the thanks of this meeting be given to The Sun news-
paper, for its powerful, persevering, and untiring exertions in
the cause of the suffering people."
GENERAL BUZEN.—The Journal des Debats
tells a singular story of a presentiment which occupied the late
General's mind that he should inevitably die in the present
year, 1842. He had three times a dream at the age of 19,
prefiguring this, and in which he fully confided. The calum-
niations which have already made one victim, are likely to have
another in the person of the General's widow, who, since she
received the fatal news, has continued in the same spot weep-
ing, and refusing-all kind of sustenance.
The betrothal of Prince Edward of Saxe Alten-
burg, and Princess Louisa of Reuss Greiz, eldest daughter of
the reigning Prince Henry XIX. of Reuss, took place on the
20th ult., at the Palace of Greiz.
A letter from Algiers says that the greatest part of
tke summits of the Atlas are now covered with snow—in gene
ral, only a few points remain white during the winter—and
the aspect of the chain is very magnificent. The water in
the pools near the town had been frozen, which was very
unusual.
A letter from Mostaganem, in the Moniteur Parisien
says that offers of submission continue to be made by the na-
tive tribes, and that a chief named Babibdes Hadji, who is of
mush religious influence in the province, has assured the
French authorities Mat almost all the tribes are ready to aban-
don Abd-el-Kader.

The Saint Etienne papers state that the Marseilles
mails are totally unable to get over the hill and through the
wood, called De la Republique, near that town, and are obliged
to go round by Lyons. On the 28th ult., the mail was de-
tained forty-eight hours in this passage by the snow, which was
drifted between the hills to a depth unparalleled, except in the
Alps. The continued labour of forty-eight men was required
to disengage the carriage.

GALLANT CONDUCT.—Lord Frederick Beau-
clerk, who was a passenger on board the Merlin steam-packet,
and on the point of starting for Liverpool, from Kingstown, on
the night of the 7th, at half past ten, r.m.' at which hour an
unfortunate woman fell between the vessel and the quay, and
was on the point of being drowned, when his Lordship without
hesitation, jumped overboard, and held her np until assistance
was brought, and thus saved her life.—From a Passenger on
board the Merlin.

The Emperor of Russia has written to the Queen
