Algiers, has arrived at Marseilles, in the Chimere
steamer, which left Algiers on the 12th.
The news that the King of Prussia would come to
Paris incognito to visit the Duchess of Orleans, is
unfounded. His Majesty has even so much repug-
nance to setting his foot on French ground, that
though he has been expressly invited to take the iron
railway from Paris to Bale, he prefers going by way
of Constance to Bale, and thence to Neufchatel.
General Voorst, the Governor of Besancon will,
nevertheless, go to Neufchatel to compliment his
Majesty in the name of the King of the French.
The Aigrette, which has arrived at Havre, has
brought news from Monte Video of the 10th of July.
Political affairs were in the same state : it does not
appear that Rosas was on his march to blockade
Monte Video, as was reported ; there had been only
demonstrations, which had not yet had any unplea-
sant consequences. Commercial transactions were
hindered by the very high prices of the productions
of the country.

A letter from Vienna, Sept. 5, says, "As soon as

ployed on both lines in the spring.

William Thomas, the driver of one of Messrs.
Coulson'slslington omnibuses, was brought up atClerk-
enwell on Wednesday, after two remands, on a charge

to show how the deceased came to his death, and the
prisoner was discharged.
George East was brought up on Wednesday at Union-
hall for re-examination, charged with assaulting his
father, aged seventy, and severely injuring him. Bail
was accepted for his appearance as soon as his father

moned Captain Phillip Pirouet, the master of a
schooner, at the Thames-office on Wednesday, for a
claim of 61.55., balanc3 of wages earned by them on a
voyage 'to Marseilles and elsewhere. The Captain
pleaded a loss which he had sustained by the joint
misconduct of the men, and the Magistrate ordered
thereon a reduction of 41., or one-sixth of the whole
loss, to be deducted from the men's pay, subject to
the condition of being able to prove the guilt of the
party when the case came on for hearing.

JIM CROW.-It is not among the least curious cir-
cumstances connected with the aspect of the political
press, at the present moment, that the only thick and
thin supporter of the Peel policy is the autrefois ultra-
Radical Spectator. The Times, the Post, the Herald,
and the Standard, though each sporting the colours of
Toryism, have each exhibited, on several occasions, a
spirit of insubordination bordering upon revolt. The
Times grumbles at the Income-tax, dissents from the
sliding-scale, affects vast indignation at the Poor-law,
finds fault with Lord Ashburton, and would fain
throw Sir James Graham overboard. The Post loudly
complains that the Conservative leader has outdone
the Whigs irs his bold innovations and sweeping
reforms. The Herald takes upon itself to lecture and
scold the Ministry after its own garrulous manner ; and
the Standard is constantly getting itself into scrapes by
its indecent sallies of desultory partisanship. But the
Spectator, after having long laboured, with a zeal and
ability worthy of a better cause, to run down the
Whigs, has at lerigth /Wowed itself the cordial sup-
porter of the present. Ministry, as " the only possible
Government at the present conjuncture." Even Peel's
" disagreeable income-tax " is praised as " evincing
the, prudent statesman ;" while Peel's tariff is declared
to be. "The largest measure of fiscal reform ever
brought forward in this country." In short, Sir R.
Peel has not in the avowedly Conservative ranks so
fervent a eulogist, so zealous a champion. It would
seem to be the peculiar fortune of the 'Conservative
Minister, to have for his chief colleagues and sup-
porters too' those who have quarrelled with their
former friends, and betrayed or deserted their professed
principles.---Patriot.

LANDLORD AND TENANT.—Our readers generally
may not be aware that Mr. Sharman Crawford has
given notice that, on an early day next session, he
will move for a Committee to inquire into the condi-
tion of the Irish tenantry, with a view to the legisla-
tive enactment of the fixity of tenure principle. No
doubt vast benefit must arise from the labours of such
a Committee, were it only to expose to the indignant
gaze of the world the infamous tyranny of the Irish
landlords as a class. The press—the Liberal press—
if we except some of our ultra Whigs, though bold
and honest, dares not hold up the ruinous system in
the same satisfactory manner that a Committee, com-
prising a few just and honourable and determined
men would do. We entertain a confident hope that
great good Will be the result, The state of the Irish
tenant has been too long neglected.—Linzerictißeporter.
STEAM-BOAT COLLISION.
about eleven o'clock, a steam-boat collision took'
place opposite the copper wharf of Messrs. Sims,
Williams, and Co., between Southwark and London
Bridges. It appeared that the " Jasmine" London
and Westminster boat, was on her way up the river,
with passengers, and when off the wharf was violently
struck by the " Nymph," Woolwich boat, proceeding
down the river, and with the tide. In an instant the
passengers were thrown on the decks, when several
Bankside waterman put off to their assistance, and,
after a few minutes, all were placed ashore safely.
Both vessels were considerably damaged.

SECRECY.—In the debate in the United States
Senate on the new British treaty, great care was
taken to have the doors closed, and to keep everything
secret. The weather being very hot, the windows
were up, and Mr. Allen, from Ohio, who has a very
shrill voice, talked so loud that any one could hear in
the public walks outside the Capitol, and as he went
over the whole ground, the details of the treaty were
common talk in Washington before it passed the
Senate. So much for secret session..
