FOREIGN.
An English packet-boat has arrived at Marseilles from In-
dia, with despatches for the Government. A British officer,
who came passenger by her, started, immediately on her arrival,

for England. -
An extraordinary express from Paris announces that a Re-
public was proclaimed at Figueras (Catalonia) on the 17th. A
second express informs us that the movement was almost im-
mediately suppressed.
It was reported in Paris on Monday (yesterday) that a so-
ciety of 6,000 Republicans had been formed in Lampererdan,
having for its leader Abdon Terrados, who was ill at Perpignan.
On the 16th inst. some dissurbances occurred at Barcelona,
which led to no serious resu.ts, but fears were entertained
that tranquillity would not be preserved. The Carlist bands
were becoming more numerous, and had appeared in the
neighbourhood of Barcelona.
A Cabinet courier arrived on Sunday morning from St. Pc-
tersburgh, with despatches for the French Government, which
were instantly taken to M. Gulot, at Auteuil.
Sunday's Moniteur contains a Royal ordonnance, prolong-
ing !he provisions of the decree of the Bth of December, 1839,
in favour of the tariff of the French Antillas. The principal
change is in the permission granted for shippers of foreign
merchandise in French entrepots to pay the duties, in order to
enter into consumption in the French colonies at the colonial
custom-houses, instead of France. Teneriffe and :Madeira
wines are to be admitted at Martinique and Guadeloupe at a
duty of 60f. per hectolitre, instead of the former one of 100 f.
Prohibited merchandise may be admitted to be banded in the
Antillas.
The Bayonne Sentinelle des Pyrenees, of the 16th, calls for
the interference of the Government for an insult on the French
flag by a search made by a Spanish gun-boat which left the
port of Fuenterabia, and searched a French boat off the port of
St. Jean de Luz (France.) The cause of the "right of visit"
is not explained.
The Marseilles Papers of the 16th contain an account of the
burning of an American merchant-vessel, the Louisa, which
might have been attended with serious results to the numerous
ships crowding the port. The fire was the work of an incen-
drary, the steward of the vessel, a native of Manilla, who,
having been put in confinement for robbing the captain of
nearly 800 Mexican dollars, in revenge threw phosphoric
matches amongst some inflammable materials. The villain
subsequently threw himself into the river, but was taken out,
landed, and sent to prison for trial. Fortunately the fire was
discovered in time, and the vessel was towed by a steamer out
of the port, when it was got under in an hour, the damage
being confined to the hold.
A great meeting of Kings and Potentates will take place on
the Rhine in autumn. The Emperor of Russia will attend.
PARLIAMENTARY.

The Lords did not meet yesternay.
In the Commons Captain Berkeley inquired whether it were '
true that the ship's company of the Pique had been paid their
wages in light sovereigns, and Sir G. Cockburn assured him that
the statement was unfounded. This was reiterated in the
course of the evening, and we hope, for the honour of the Go-
vernment, that the tale is not true. It is more likely that the
sailors were imposed on by some of their usual friends.
Sir J. Graham announced that he should introduce a Re-
gistration Bill for England this Session, but not think of pass-
ing it. Sir R. Peel stated that the Government would not
introduce a Registration Bill for Ireland this year. Poor Lord
Stanley, how his zeal against perjury has evaporated.
Mr. C. Buller brought the light sovereigns, and the procla-
mation concerning them, under the notice of the House, which
provoked Mr. Goulburn and Sir Robert Peel to enter into a
lame defence of their conduct. The motion ended in nothing,
except the information given by the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, that any person refusing to receive the legal coin of the
realm is liable to imprisonment. Many persons would be
amazingly glad to have the opportunity of refusing it.
The House was engaged for the remainder of the evening
about the Poor law. The motion to go into Committee was
opposed by Gel. Sibthorp, Mr. Ferrand, and ethers, who divided
twice, resisting the motion. Both divisions gave large majori-
ties in favour of proceeding with the Bill, and the House went
into Committee, but resumed without making any progress.

ECCLEEILISTiCAL

The will of the late Ea,l of Macclesfield has just been proved
at Doctors' Commons. The personal property is sworn under
140,0001., out of which his niece, Louisa Georgina Parker, has

to be buried in the old vault at Shinburn, and ordered that no
banners or escutcheons should be used at the funeral.

THE LATE MELANCHOLY OC-
CURRENUE AT ISLINGTON.
INQUEST ON THE BODY—(THIS DAY.)
This forenoon at eleven o'clock, Mr. Wakley, M.P., Coroner
for the Western Division of Middlesex, and a most respectable
Jury, assembled in the large room of the Sutton Arms Tavern,
Chalk-road, Islingtcn, on view of the body of Martha Carter,
aged thirty-nine, who was found in a well, in Mr. Backing--
ham's rope ground, 155 feet deep, with very dreadful injuries
to the head, and serious bruizes on other parts of the body, on
the morning of Monday last.
Several witnesses were examined, and among the rest Joseph
Carter, husband of the deceased, who stated that he last saw
his wife alive between one and two o'clo,.:k on Monday morn-
ing in bed. She had been very ill, and he missed her shortly
after five. He then searched for her and finding the well much
broken, he had suspicions that she had fallen down there. She
was very bad in her head and mind for some time, and was at-
tended by Mr. Taylor, of King's Cross.
Sarah Carter, niece to the deceased, proved that the de-
ceased was in a bad state of mind, and after some further con-
sideration, the Jury returned a verdict —" That the deceased
destroyed herself, oeing in a state of unsound mind, and that
there was not the slightest suspicion attached to the husband of
the deceased."

Miss CHAMBERS 'S
CONCERT.— This lady, daughter
of the late banker, gives her morning concert to-morrow, at
her Majesty's theatre, and brings together a richer display of
o
vocal talent than any concert of the, season has yet aggregated, or
set forth. Frezzolinid Iroltini. ersiani and ltonconi are among
the f-male vocalists; Signors l'uzzi, Labl.che, Guano, Mario,
and Ilegondi, have also offered their services. Of the itistru-:
mmtahsts, Mrs. Anderson plays a fantasia on the piano, and
D'Espourt in another on the harp. Miss Chambers herself sings
some of her sweetest melodies, which will form not the least
exquisite part of the entertainment. It is with true delight
we observe so many great names coming forward with their
generous assistance to aid Miss Chambers, who, together with
her family,_vrcruld no 'doubt at tLis tittle have been in the en.
joyment of much better fortunes, had her father been allowed
to manage his own affairs. We hope that the handsome treat
she on this occasion sets before the public will meet with as
i handsome a return.
