SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND
Pubitt -fiptitton.

" Whil runs may read."

I'OREIGN.
The leading articles of the French Journals arc almost
exclusively on the merits of the different candidates for
the approaching elections, and are far too personal in
their nature to afford the slightest gratification to any
reader, no matter of what party, who has not some inte-
rest in the success or failure of the parties whose preten-
sions are supported or condemned. The articles on other
subjects are without novelty or importance.
The Archbishop of Sens, while on a visitation, has
been seized with a malignant fever, and carried back in
a senseless state to his palate. There are hopes, however,
that the attack, which at first appeared to be very serious,
will not be attended with disastrous consequences.

A letter from Brest says—" We are informed that the
dig i ion under the orars of Admiral Casey is soon to
sail for the channel,' where it will exercise, and that it
*ill afterwards be stationed off Eu, during the sojourn
of the King at that place."
According to the law of 31st March, 1837, the accu•
mulations of the Savings Banks arc deposited in the
Caisse des Depots et Con,ignations. On 31st December
in that year these funds amounted to 106,000,000 f. At
the close of the last year they amounted to 241,60,552 f.
having in the four years been increased by 135 millions
and a half.

The Sentinelb des Pyrenees states that the municipa-
lity and proviocial deputation of Burgos have signed a
protest, declaring that the statement of a disposition
having been mamfested by the inhabitants of that city to
revolt, and proclaim the consitution of 1819, was wholly
ti mnded.

The Eco del Commercio of Madrid, Of the 14th inst.,
announces that Don Francisco di Paulo has accepted the
command of a battalion of the Malaga militia.

The A”gsburg Gazette states that the disturbances at
Pesch had ceased. The journeymen tailors who were
arrested had been set at liberty, and the mass of the
ri,ters had returned to their work.

Mehemet Ali; says a letter from Rome, has written a
letter to the Pope, expressing the utmost delight at re-
ceiving the mosaics which his Holiness sent him, and
addressing him by the titles of " Your Beatitude," anc!
"Lieutenant of the Caesars." The Pacha promises to
send him the obelisk of Heliopolis.

PARLIAMENTARY.

The Peers met yesterday, but transacted no business
of importance.
In the Commons, on the motion of Mr. Wilson Patten,
the standing order which requires the projectors of rail-
ways to give notice, in the months of February and
M:sch, of their intention to introduce a Bill into Parlia-
ment was rescinded, which leaves the promoters of such
Bills subject to the same standing order as the promoters
of other private Bills, and requires them to give notice
in October and November.

Mr. O'Conneil's motion for the House to authorise the
Belfast Committee to appoint agents, was withdrawn on
the representation of Sir IL Peel, that the Committee
ought to do what was proper on its own authority,
though he would not promise anything on behalf of the
Treasury. Mr. Ferrand made himself again conspicuous
on this occasion, as if he intended to set up for the
leadership of the ultra-Tories. A more daring and suit-
able leader they cannot have—we recommend the ultra-
Tories to take him.

In answer to a question, the Earl of Lincoln said the
steps in front of the National Gallery were now ready to
be opened, but it would not be convenient to open them
till Nelson's Monument was further advanced. From a
Effie conversation which occurred on th latter point,
we infer that the Committee for carrying it into effect
are likely to run short of funds.
Mr. H. C. Baillie moved for papers relative to the
origin of the war in Affghanistan, which brought the
whole of the circumstances of that affair under the notice
of the House of Commons. The debate, which is else-
where referred to, occupied the House the whole even-
ing. The papers were refused. The House sat till
Two o'Clock.
ONICY—TIZADE—COIyIMEZ!.CI3. s

According to private letters received yesterday from Leeds
by the deputations at present in London, from the northern
manufacturing districts, it appears that nearly 20,000, or one-
fourth of the population, are at present subsisting on the poor-
rates. At Wolverhampton also the number of persons out of
employ is immense.
At a meeting last week at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, it was
officially stated that no lesl than 11,000 of its population are
receiving parish relief.
From the city returns of the income and expenditure of the
Corporation of London, it appears that owing to several extra-
ordinary votes and grants, during the years 1838-9-40, the sum
of 149,3251. Is. Bd. has been expended, being an amount ex-
ceeding the ordinary income of the Corporation, and leaving no
surplus for the further discharge of debt.
The emigrant ship Kent, of 690 tons burden, was totally
wrecked in the Western Ocean, off the Seven Islands; on the
Bth of last month. Seventy emigrants on board escaped, how-
ever, on the coast, but in a wretched condition.
At the meeting of the Union Bank of Australia, held yester-
day in Old Broad-street, the balance of undivided profits for
the half year was 64,109/. 13s. I Id., which enabled the Direc-
tors to declare a dividend of •255. and 20s. on the shares. The
total assets of the Company to the 18th of June, 1842, were
825,624/. 3s. 9d.

THE WEST INDIL.S.

FALMOUTH, JUNE 22.—the Royal Mail steam ship Med-
way, Lieut. Smith, Commander, arrived this morning, from
the West Indies, with mails from all the colonies and stations,
about 60 passengers, a million of dollars, 150 terons of cochi-
neal, and 30 supernumeraries, lately belonging to the Medina.
The Medway left the Havannah on the Ist; Nassau, 3d; Ber-
muda, 7th ; and Fayal, 16th inst. Mer Alajesty's brig Pilot
arrived at the Havannah 24th May, and sailed 26th, with mails
for Belize ; on the 27th the Royal Mail s:.eamer Teviot ar-
rived there, from the Gulf of Mexico, with mails and specie;
and the Royal Mail steamer Trent also arrived there on the
31st following. The Royal Mail steamer Isis was passed near
Nassau by the Ilet'vgay.
The extraordinary haste made by the Commander of the
Medway to get away to Southampton the instant he was able
to thrust the mail-bags into the boat, and whiCh detained him
hardly half an hour, quite operated against obtaining any
particulars beyond the above; we have reason to believe, how-
ever, there is a considerable portion of her freight for account
of the payment of Mexican dividends, and in reference to that
Republic a new tariff was published on the Ist of May, to be
put in force six months after, as usual. The reduction of
duties was general, on many articles considerable, and on the
whole was deemed liberal rather than otherwise. The irre-
gular arrivals of the steamers at Vera Cruz, and the hurried
manner in which they departed again after arrival, continued
to give dissatisfaction to the merchants of Mexico generally,
who, it is said, have made strong remonstrances on the subject.
In the instance of the Medway's arrival here to-day, as to
time (eleven, A.m.), the midland and northern parts of Eng-
land and the whole of Ireland are paced in a better position than
the city of London. The letters for the former proceed en
route this afternoon as soon as assorted, whereas those for the
metropolis and eastern division of England are necessarily de-
tained until to-morrow, half-past four, A. as. (17 hours after
being landed !) If the General Post-office were to acquiesce
in the reasonable proposition which has been made to it, to
constitute the northern a London mail also, and despatched
a little earlier, the Ci'y merchants would be in possession of
their letters in this case, per Medway, a little after noon to--
morrow, and the very trifling inconvenience, if any such could
by possibility exist (but which is not admitted), by the earlier
departure referred to, it would correct itself in a very short
space, as the railroad approaches Exeter by Taunton and Wel-
lington, and the old time, or even later, could be fallen back
upon. It is not ju3t that the port of Falmouth should be made
objectionable in the estimation of the public for what is solely
chargeable to and remediable, nevertheless, in the hands of the
Post-office authorities.

The additions made to Life Policies granted by this Corpo-

the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent on the sums as-

sured than any other Company has hitherto accomplished, when
the low rates of premiums charged by this Corporation are
taken into consideration.

Government. Russia having disavowed the acts of her
aents, and approved of • the Persian policy, there could
be no foundation for a European war with her. The
Gentlemen opposite had reserved their attack, like the
vulture, till the moment when the soldier was wounded
and fallen, but still he was glad to perceive that their
case was so utterly weak, as he trusted the-House would
decide it to be.

Mr. BAILLIE complained that the despatches of
Captain Burnes, which had been produced, were those
of the period when he had adopted the policy of the
Governor-General. He should not press the 'notion.
Mr. HoGG and Mr. D'lsnAEm explained.
Mr. HUME having oftjected to the motion being
withdrawn, the House divided, when there appeared—

For the motion 9
Against it
Majority against the motion
On our return to the gallery
Mr. WALLACE was on his legs, asking whether the
light Hon. Gentleman (Sir IL Peel) would give him
an opportunity of bringing on his motion on another
evening ?

Sir R. PEEL said that, considering the business that
was yet to be gone through, and the little progress
which was made with respect to the Poor-law Bill, he
could not make any promise to the Hon. Gentleman.
Mr. WALLACE said that, in that case, he would make
the motion on the first supply night ; and, failing that,
he would bring it forward on Thursday, the 7th of July.
On the motion of Mr. lIUME, an account* was ordered
of all the monies received by the Commissioners ap-
pointed by the Act 6 and 7 Will. IV., c. 77, and subse-
quent Act, to carry into effect, with modifications, ale
Fourth Report of the Commissiovers of Ecclesiastical
Duties and Revenues, stating the several sums received
by the said Commissioners, and from what sources re-
ceived, in each year, since the passing of the Act; also,
ea account of all payments made by the said Com-
missioners In each year, stating to whom paid, and for
what purpose to be applied, in each year, up to the Ist
of January, 1842.
Mr. PROTIIEROE mcved for a Return, from the
Keeper of the Public Records, of the names and titles of
tne several works which were partially prepared for
publication, but left unfinished, by the late Record Com-
missioners ; stating the names of the Editors of such
works, and the estimated cost of publishing the same,
either in a complete or incomplete state : together with
an accurate Catalogue of the various MSS. and Copies
of Records made at the public expense, or by order of
the late Record Commissioners, and not prepared for pub-
liration.—Agreed to.

Sir JAMtS GBAIIAM obtained kayo to bring in
the following Bills :—Bill to encourage the establish
meld of District Courts and Prisons ; a Bill to amend
the laws concerning Prisons ; a Bill to continue, until
the Ist of October, 1843, the exemption of inhabitants
of parishes, townships, and villages, from liability to be
rated as such in respect of Stock in Trade, or other pro-
perty to the relief of the Poor ; a Bill to amend and
continue for one year the Acts regulating the Police of
Manchester, Birmingham, and Bolton.
London, England, 1842-06-24

LAW AND POLECE.

Owing to an order of the Poor.law Commissioners, com-
manding the transmission, after every meeting of the district
guardians, of a copy of any special minute on the books, the
Braintree Board of Guardians considered the order " ob-
noxious," and, refusing to comply with it, resigned.
A pawnbroker, named Folkard, was on Wednesday tined 20s.
and three times the value of the shoes, and costs, at the Mansion
House, for receiving in pledge a pair of regimental shoes con-
trary to the statute.
The following circumstances transpired on Wednesday at the
Clerkenwell office : —Mr. John James, of Alfred-place, Bed-
ford-square, having a bill for • 141. due on the preceding day,
tendered a ten-pound note and four sovereigns to the clerk who
called for payment, but who refused the sovereigns, without
even weighing them, alleging that he could detect their light-
netts by appearance ; the consequence was, that the bill went
away, and was noted for non-payment. The Magistrate said
that he had no jurisdiction in the matter, as it was not an act
for which the clerk could be punished criminally ; but if an
action were brought against him for recovery of the amount of
the sovereigns, and the tender proved, there was no doubt he
would have to pay the whole of the costs.
