The Quotidienne gives the following extract of a letter
addressed by the Duke de Bordeaux to the Marquis de
Pastoret. . It is dated T-ceplitz, July 28 :—" On receiv-
ing the news of the sad event which you announce to me
in your last letter, my-first impulse was to pay for and
have prayers put up for the unfortunate victim. I was
more favoured last year, and I am the more thankful to
Providence, as I hope my life has only been preserved in
order that it may be one day useful to my country.
Whatever may be the course of events, they will always
find me ready to devote myself to France, and to sacrifice
every thing for her."

Tile Journal des Debats has an article on the prospects
of England, which is by no means flattering ; although
not.qutte so virulent as the Presse, its tendency, we fear,
will be to increase the Anglophobia, the French reign-
ing epidemic.
The Debats states that Count de Sainte Aulaire, the
French .Ambassador at London, has, fur the last, week,
had an attack of bilious fever, which, though not of an
alarming description, confines him to his bed and delays
his return to England.
As a proof of the distress of the lower orders of the
people in Paris, the National states that there are up-
wards of 50,000 mattresses now in pawn at the Mont de
Piete. We feel it right, however, to observe that the
accounts from other sources seem to disprove the state-
ment of the National as to the existence of great distress
amongst the industrious classes of the capital.
A letter from the Electoral Prince • and Co-Regent of
Hesse-Cassel, announcing the
marriage of his daughter;
the Princess Louisa of Hesse, with Prince Christian of
Sles wick- Holstein- Sonderburg_Glucksburg, has been
presented to the King by Baron de Schacnten, the Hes-
sian Minister.

A letter of July 20, in the Augsburgh Gazette, states
that a considerable re•inforcenlent to the Turkish
troops intended to act against Bagdad left Smyrna on the
19th, under the command of Mustapha Pacha, for Da-
mascus, where further re-inforcements would arrive pre-
paratory to the commencement of hostile proceedings.
A paper war has commenced between the Minister of
the Interior and M. de la Touche, the late sous-prefect
of Piormel, the former denying and the latter asserting
that the Government intimated to him that as regarded
the election of M. de la Rochejaquelin or M. de Sivry, it
would prefer the return of two Legitimates- to that of
one Liberal.

The Spanish papers of the 2d contain no news what-
ever. Air. Washington Irving was presented to the
Regent.

PARWAIKEIFTAXIi%

The Lords forwarded several Bills a stage last night.
On the motion to read the Newfoundland Bill a third
rime, Mr. Burge was called in and heard against the
Bill. His eloquence had no effect on their Lordships,
and his clients might have saved the fees they gave him.
He spoke, in fact to judges who had made up their
minds. The Bill, in spite of what he said, and in spite
of a few observations of Lord Campbell, was read a
third time and passed.
Lord Brougham withdrew his Bill for the amendment
of the Bankrupt Laws, and explained, at some length,
why he withdrew it. The Noble Lord also said that
Lord Denman's Bill for the Improvement of Evidence
had been lost in the other House. Their Lordships then
adjourn( d till this day.
MONEY—WZADE—COMMERCE.

At the meeting of the Proprietors of the Birmingham
and Derby Junction Railway, on Tuesday, in the former
town, it appeared from the Report that, from January to
last June, 82,682 passengers had been carried by the
railway, making since the opening of the line a total of
494,072. The amount received for traffic and carriage
for the half-year had been a total of 29,3001., showing
an increase of 1241. on the preceding half-year.
ECCLESIASTICAL.
About 32 inhabitants of St. Dunstan's, Fleet-street,
appeared at Guildhall on Wednesday, on summonses for
refusing to pay their respective shares of the Church-rate.
The objections were stated, but over-ruled, and orders
made for payment.
