SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS•

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY.

GLOBE.—The debate on Mr. Wallace's motion
was brought to a close last night, or rather this morn-
ing. On the division, there appeared for the motion,
49 ; against it, 174. An attempt was made to carry
over the debate to next week; but the House refused
to sanction the effOrt to prolong the discussion. It
seemed to be agreed on all hands, that the form of the
moon precluded all hope of reducing it to any prac-
tical object. Hence, the leaders of Opposition,
while they availed themselves of the opportunity thus
afforded to deliver their sentiments at considerable
length, and with manifest advantage over the Govern-
ment, on the important questions which the resolu-
tions placed on the table of the House necessarily
raised, were unable to support the motion, which,
from the commencement of the debate, they expli-
citly stated they would vote against upon a division.
From this circumstance the organs of the Govern-
ment have derived an argument against the course
adopted by Mr. Wallace, as an
,unnecessary inter-
ruption of the business of the Session—a Neste of the
public time, by originating a protracted debate, with-
out the possibility of effectuating any practical ad-
vantage ! We cannot adopt the conclusions, even
though we may admit the premises, of such of our
Contemporaries as thus reason. From whatever point
we view the melancholy scene of increasing national
distress—whether it be considered as resulting from
defective or erroneous legislation, or as originating in
causes over which legislation has, at best, but a very
limited control—we must approve of the policy of the
Opposition in forcingits immediate consideration on the
Government, through the House of Commons. Some
may think that debates, similar to that of the pre-
sent week, in which such serious and often contra-
dictory views are taken of the origin, nature, and
proposed cure, of the evils admitted by all to exist,
are of little or no practical utility. W e are far from
participating in such sentiments. Though no specific
system of relief is likely to be evolved out of the
miscellaneous mass of opinion that a Parliamentary
debate on general topics must necessarily call forth,
yet the accumulated results of individual experience
are thus brought to bear on this one 11-engrossing
subject of national interest, from which a subsequent
examination, separating the prejudices and party
feelings of the hour, may discover data on which to
found practical measures of alleviation, if not of cure.
STANDARD.—And now, again, we ask, what is
the importance of any question about the evidence?
Lord Ashley's Bill merely goes to forbid the em-
ployment of women and infants in subterranean
labour. If no women or infants are so employed,
or likely to be so employed, then surely, in
courtesy to the House of Commons, which has
passed the Bill by acclamation, and in con-
sideration of the public desire, the House
of Lords may ratify a measure which can
do no harm, and which will be at worst but
waste paper ; but if women and infants are indeed
employed in mines, then what reason can there be to
doubt the truth of all that the 2,000 pages of the Re-
port contain ? Must we not know what must be the ef- ,
fect of the promiscuous association of persons of opposite
sexes in darkness, and free from control—whether they
are or are not generally in an indecent state of ex-
posure ? Must we not know that infants com-
mitted to the mine from the ages of five and six
vears, must grow up without moral education,
aid that such tender infants, committed to
the mercy of persons who have an interest in
their labour, but no interest in their hap-
piness or welfare, must be overworked and other-
wise treated with extreme cruelty ? Upon the
hypothesis that women and infants are employed
in mines, the presumption is that the wo-
men are corrupted; and the children tortured
and destroyed. No evidence is wanting to con-
firm this presumption, though, alas, it is abund-
antly confirmed by the Commissioners' Report.
It is for those who deny the inevitable tendencies of
our corrupt nature to rebut the presumption, if they
can. As well, however, attempt to prove that if
the women and children were, thrown into the
Thames the majority must not perish—as well call
for a Committee to inquire whether drowning will
cause death. The only fct for the House of Lords,
or for any other body of reasonable men called to
decide upon the subject, to inquire into, is the fact,
whether women and infants are or are not employed
in mines ? If they are so employed, the obligation of
a prohibitory law is imperative ; but it is admitted by
the opponents of Lord Ashley's Bill that they are so
employed. What further need the House of Lords
inquire ?

THE .RE-LAYING Or THE ROADWAY IN FLEET •
STREET.— The authorities have hit upon the notable plan of
re-laying the roadway in this street by longitudinal halves.
They proceed thus in order to study " public convenience;"
or, in other words, for the purpose of " keeping open" ' the
thoroughfare. Now the longitudinal half of Fleet-street,
which is itself much like a certain unprofitable bird—viz., too
much for one and not enough for two—would, without the
slightest let or hindrance; admit of the most " admired dis-
order," among the countless vehicles that pass to and fro ; but
a sort of patchwork repair, which has left a bit of the half
street half finished here, and portions of barricades there, has
occasioned scenes of confusion such as no set of men who ever
studied " public convenience" ever yet saw or are likely to see.
" Here laden carts with thundering. waggons meet,
Wheels clash with wheels, and bar the narrow street."
Gay never contemplated a worse state of things than the well
meant division into longitudinal halves has given rise to. The
result of this longitudinal system, which was to " keep open "
the great l'horoughfare has been that the vehicles proceeding
in that dire,frtion, instead of having to take a circuitous route
of five or ten minutes, as the case with cab or cart might be,
by the way of Chancery-lane, Holborn, and Farringdon-street,
have had not unfrequently to drag their slow lengths along the
" half " of Heel-street, in some ten or fifteen minutes, at the
imminent risk of a broken panel, or other equal damage. By
the entire closing of Fleet-street for two or thr.e days, and
placing day and night gangs upon the work, the repair would
have taken about one half of the time that will now be con-
sumed, and the deafening clatter, dangerous clashing together
of vehicles, vexatious delays, and the worse than " language
obscene "liberally indulged in from morn to night, would have
been avoided. As respems the relaying itself, it does not ap-
pear to be done in a very ,'asting manner.
THE WEATHER.--A sudden change from the bright
summer weather, so long anti so agreeably familiar, took place
yesterday in the vicinity of the metropolis, a close Scotch mist
falling throughout the latter part of the day. The wind, which
within the last few days has shifted to all points of the com-
pass, became fixed due south, and the atmosphere was ex-
tremely heavy. The barometer at. the Adelaide Gallery was
stationary at 30 18, but the heat was less intense by several-de-
grees than on Montlay. To the country generally a fall of rain
would prove most beneficial at the pi esent [omega.
MADAME LArARGE.— -A letter from Montpelier,
in the Droit, contains the following :—" lladame Lafarge
has not obtained permission to I e transferred to the lunatic
asylum of lir. Reck), as was reported, being still confined in
the cell of the prison which was assigned to her, close to the
infirmary, and her name is downs on the sick list in the account
of expenses handed in each meth. Her food is such as has
been ordered by the physician, and consists simply of milk and
chocolate. She remains in a state of atrophy difficult to be
deser‘bed. She is almost constantly in bed. and when she gets
up she can only rut on the prison dress, which she detests,
and therefore she wraps herself up in a coarse lincn peignoir,
which is allowed on account of her being ill, .Her health can-
' not be restore ti unless by a sprt,C•f miracle."

middle of the sixteenth century, by Ignatius Loyola,
a Spanish cavalier of ancient descent, of whose strange,
romantic career we have a full and animated account
in the present Number of the "Edinburgh Review."
Robertson, in "Charles the Fifth," has given a sketch
of this illustrious man, but his sketch is a
meagre and flimsy one, unworthy alike of himself
and his subject. lie seems to have regarded Loyola
as little better than a fanatic ; but he was more—
much more than this, ybeing distinguished not less by
his clear good sense, and profound sagacity, than by
the grandeur and sublimity of his designs. The in-
fluence he exercised over the minds of his followers
is almost without parallel, and such as no mere
visionary could ever have obtained. Even Mahomet,
when at the height of his power, and with all Arabia
in his grasp, never so effectually moulded to his will
the best faculties of those who regarded him as a pro-
phet, as did the founder of the Order of Jesus. Fore-
most among the associates of this remarkable indivi-
dual was Francis Xavier, the record'of whose wander-
ings in the East, for the purpose of gaining converts
to Christianity, is full of deep and startling interest,
to a degree seldom surpassed even by the wildest fic-
tion. Selected by Loyola to plant the Christian faith
in the Indian territories, he set sail for Goa, where,
in the face of a thousand dangers, he succeeded in the
object of his mission. " Swinging in.his hand," says
the Reviewer, " a large bell, he traversed the streets
of the city, and implored the astonished crowd to send
their children to him, to be instructed in the religion
which they still at 'least prOfessed. A crowd of little
ones were quickly placed under his charge." On the
burning shore of Malabar "his bell once more rang
out an invitation of mercy, and again were gathered
round him troops of inquisitive and docile children.
For fifteen months he lived among abject fishermen,
allowing himself but three hours' sleep in the four and
twenty. All obstacles yielded to his resistless zeal.
He soon learned to converse, to write, and to preach
in the Malabar language." While he was residing at
Amboyna, a fleet of Spanish corsairs appeared off. the
shore. The plague was, among them, raging in its
most frightful form. But Xavier, nothing daunted,
went on board the infected vessels; rendering every
service in his power; and so won on the gratitude of the
pirates, that they desisted from their meditated inva-
sion, and sailed peacefully away. At the island of
Moro, one of the Moluccas, the enthusiastic Jesuit
took his stand at the foot of a volcano ; and while the
elements were all in convulsion about him—while the
red flames blazed up to Heaven, and the earth rocked,
and the thunder roared, and the rivers of molten lava
came pouring down the sides of the mountain, he
preached the One Living God, with as calm and un-
troubled a spirit as though he bore a charmed life.
While celebrating mass in the same island, an earth-
quake shook the building to its foundations. Many
of the congregation fled, but Xavier, standing before
the rocking altar, never once stirred, till he had com-
pleted the sacred ceremony ! At Malacca he found
the place besieged by a powerful Mahomedan chief,
and the inhabitants in despair. Laying aside the
peaceful missionary, he assumed the principal direc-
tion of the defence ; raised the courage of all parties,
and predicted the immediate destruction of the be-
siegers. And his prediction was correct. In a few
days the enemy's fleet was met off the coast—defeated,
and Malacca was saved ! After traversing the East
for years, working vast moral changes wherever he
appeared, and defying all the chances of famine, ship-
wreck, pestilence, and assassination, the energetic
Xavier met his, death from fever, while on the point
of embarking for Siam. The Reviewer's sketch of
this extraordinary man's career abounds in graphic
passages ; but we prefer quoting his portraits of Ig-
natius Loyola and Luther—the two most remarkable
personages who flourished in the sixteenth century :
Luther took to !rife a nun. For thirty years together

Loyola never once looked on the femitle countenance.
To overthrow the houses of the order to which he
belonged, was the triumph of the reformer. To establish
a new order on indestructible foundations, the glory of
the saint. The career of the one was opened in the cell,
and concluded amidst the cares of secular government.
The course of life of the other led him, from a youth of
camps and palaces, to an old age of religious abstraction. •
Demons haunted both ; but to the northern visionary
!hey appeared as foul or malignant fiends, with whom he
was to agonize in spiritual strife ; to the southern
dreamer, as angels of light marshalling his way to
celestial blessedness. As best became his Teutonic
honesty and singleness of heart, Luther aimed at no
perfection but such as may consist with the, everyday
cares, and the common duties, and the innocent delights
of our social existence ; at once the foremost of heroes,
and a very man now oppressed with melancholy, and
defying the powers of darkness, satanic or human ; then
" rejoicing in gladness and thankfulness of heart for all
his abundance ; ' loving and beloved ; communing with
the wife of his bosom, prattling with his children ; sun
rendering his overburdened mind to the charms of
music, awake to every gentle voice, and to each cheerful
aspect of nature or of art ; responding alike to every
divine impulse and to every human feeling ; no chord
unstrung in his spiritual or sensitive frame, but all
blending together in harmonies as copious as the bounties
of Providence, and as changeful as the vicissitudes of
life. How remote from the "perfection" which Loyola
proposed to himself, and which (unless we presume to dis
trust the Bulls by which he was beatified and canonized)
we must suppose him to have attained. Drawn by in-
fallible, not less distinctly than by fallible limners, the
portrait of the military priest of the Casa Professa
possesses the cold dignity, and the grace of sculpture ;
but is wholly wanting in the mellow tones, the lights and
shadows, the rich colouring, and the skilful composition
of the sister art. There he stands apart from us mortal
men, familiar with visions which he may not commu-
nicate, and with joys which he cannot impart. Severe in
the midst of raptures, composed in the very agonies of
pain ; a silent, austere, and solitary man ; with a heart
formed for tenderness, yet mortifying even his best
affections ; loving mankind as his brethren, and yet
rejecting' their sympathy ; one while a squalid, care-
worn, self-lacerated pauper, tormenting himself, that so
he might rescue others from sensuality ; and then, a
monarch reigning in secluded majesty, that so ho might
become the benefactor of his race, or a legislator exact-
ing, though with no selfish purposes, an obedience as
submissive and as prompt as is due to the King of kings.
In the disquisition on " French Criminal Juris-
prudence," there is a succinct analysis of the case of
Madame Lafarge ; which last year caused such gene-
ral excitement in France. The essay is evidently the
production of an experienced lawyer, who comes to
the conclusion that the prisoner was convicted on
" untrustworthy evidence." " Mellingen on Duel-
ling " is a notice of an amusing work lately published,
in which we find this curious fact :—" If we desire to
find a precedent for our damages in actions for trim.
con., we may find it in a law of Ethelred, declaring
that whoever hath committed adultery with his neigh-
bour's wife, shall be obliged to buy him a new one."
The word " buy" is very business-like and charac-
teristic. The compliment involved in it to the fair
sex is also worthy of admiration, and shows the exalted
sense which our ancestors entertained of the dis-
interested love of women. They were to be bought
like other articles, and were, we presume, cheap or
dear, in proportion as they were plain or pretty,
young or old, tough or tender. When there was a
glut of them in the matrimonial market, then of course
they were to be had for an old song. The Roman
law was npt much more courteous, for according to
Gibbon, it.expressly defined a wife as a "thing'—
that is to say, as an article of furniture ! In the same no-
tice, the Reviewer makes the following edifying quota-
tion from a letter written by one French Nobleman
to.another, in.- the reign of Henry the Fourth : " I
have reduced your home to ashes ; f have dishonoured
your wife, and hanged your children; and I now have
the honour to subscribe myself your mortal enemy."
Pleasant information this, to be introduced into a
familiar epistle, by way of posteript ! " Mendicity,
its Causes, and Statistics" is an elaborate article, of a
practical character, in which the Reviewer assures us
that the English agricultural poor, who have large
families of very young children, live much better as
beggars than they do as labourers. The article de-
fends the workhouse system, and the conduct of the
Poor-law Commissioners in enforcing it. Of the few
remaining papers, the best is the one entitled,
" Dangers of British Industry and Commerce."

FOREIGN QUARTERLY REVIEW. No. LVIIL
Chapman and Hall, London, 1842.
The primary causes of the first great revolutionary
outbreak in France have been usually referred, and
with justice, to the wasteful extravagance, the li-
centious habits, and intolerant exclusiveness, of Louis
the Fourteenth and his Court; but in a shrewdly
reasoned essay on "The Reign of Terror—its Causes
and Results,' which heads the present Number, the
Reviewer insists that the seeds of the Revolution
were sown by Cardinal Richelieu. He argues his
case with great adroitness ; but it is mere special
pleading, for every one knows that the grand popular
explosion which occasioned the overthrow of the
French monarchy, had its origin in the deranged
state of the finances ; and with this the Cardinal had
certainly nothing to do, for he left an immense sum
in the treasury; and the throne, which on his entrance
into public life was the weakest, he contrived, by his
vigorous policy, to render the strongest in Europe.
Coming down to a later period, when the Revolution
was whirling along at railway speed, the Reviewer
pourtrays with much skill the character of the Gi-
rondist party, though we protest against his hypo-
thesis that " as long as they kept apart from the
multitude, they were safe and respected; when they
called in the multitude to their aid, they rapidly be-
came insecure and despised." The Girondists never
did keep aloof from the multitude. On the contrary,
they acted with them in every possible' way. Their
party speakers were to be found at the Jacobins, the
Cordeliers, and all the other mob Clubs of the day.
Their party journals were those in most request
among the people. Their chiefs—retion, in parti-

• cular—were the idols of the people. All that they
did, they did almost exclusively by means of the
people, and it was not until they had attained full
power, by the overthrow of the Throne on the Tenth
of August, that they thought fit to disavow their con-
nexion with those by whose assistance they had arisen.
Then it was—and not till then—that the Girondists
" became insecure and despised." They fell victims
to their own double-dealing and tergiversation. The
people, who had elevated them, trampled them under
foot, and took counsel of more determined and consis-
tent leaders. With the fall of the " Jesuits"—as
Dumouriez justly called them—fell the entire middle
class as a dominant power in France. Henceforth
the mob was in the ascendant, and Terrorism was the
order of the day. But while we unhesitatingly give
up the Terrorists to the execration of mankind, as a
set of pitiless, unprincipled monsters, let us not forget
the extraordinary—the almost superhuman—energy
E they displayed, at a period when the country was
hovering on the brink of destruction. • With a civil
war raging furiously in La Vendee ; with Lyons,
Toulon, and other great towns and cities, in a state of
open revolt ; with the emigrants plotting at Coblentz,
and the Court of Turin ; with the Austrian and Prus-
sian troops on the frontiers ; and Paris itself a prey
to the most distracting party feuds ;—with all these
combined difficulties to struggle against, the Terrorists
yet found the means to furnish not less than fourteen
vast armies, and roll back the tide of invasion with
which France was threatened. History, whether
ancient or modern, can show nothing comparable to
the energy displayed by these ruthless monsters at
this terrible crisis. They succeeded in saving their
country from the rude grasp of the foreigner ; but alas !
it was only to pave the way for the iron despotism of
Napoleon ! We subjoin a spirited sketch of Robes-
pierre—the Coryphzeus of the Terrorist faction—to-
wards the close of his career :

At this time Robespierre was a spectacle of absorbing
and awful interest. His constitution, always sickly, was
sinking fast under his vigilance and his terror. He
seldom slept, he never reposed. Devoured by the acrid
humours of his system, his face became livid, his eyes
streaked with blood. Hour after hour anonymous letters
threatened him with the hand of the assassin—con-
spiracies gathered rapidly round him. Men, insigni-
ficant while Danton lived, took the strength of dragons
from the blood of that awful head. He reigned but by
his hold over the club of the Jacobins, and the hearts of
the women I A. strange subject for female enthusiasm I
but that usually follows power and will. And there was
something too of mystery in this cold, austere being—
young in years, with the hoary cunning and hard heart
of age ; resisting all temptation, except that of govern-
ing mankind ; and shaking Europe from a chamber over
a cabinet-maker's shop.
The singular and ruthless determination of purpose
which Robespierre had hitherto shown began to desert
him. His energies, no longer concentrated upon the
downfal of single rivals, wandered wild and indecisive
over that vast field of enmity and peril which spread
before his gaze. ln proportion as he lost in vigour of
action, he improved in eloquence of word. The common
horror in which his character is held, makes us unjust to
his talents. And it requires all the charity of abstract
criticism to praise the orator while sickening at the
man. But it would be difficult to find anywhere in the
modern literature of the Rostrum finer passages than
some of his principal speeches contain. The address,
delivered to the Convention, in vindication of the Deity,
is full of beauties in language, and justice of thought.
But it is natural that those who read should be so
revolted at the want of harmony between the orator and
the subject—at the character of the butcher, arrogating
that of the theologian—the Nero assuming the Numa—
that even the finest passages shock the moral taste too
much to win justice from the intellectual. Robespierre
vindicating, in the midst of massacre, the existence of a
God of mercy, is like our own Richard 111. issuing
his proclamation against vice after the murder of his
nep .ews. The sentiments professed by either may be
admirable in themselves, but they only serve to deepen
the general abhorrence of the character they contrast.
No man ever had so complete a command over an as-
sembly from the mere force of mind and thought as
Robespierre long enjoyed over the Convention, and to
the last over the Jacobin Club. For, unlike most suc-
cessful orators, he owed nothing to physical advantages:
a wretched person, mean features, even the fire of the
eyes concealed by glasses, a discordant voice, hoarse and
indistinct in the low tones, shrill and grating in the
higher, the word's and the thoughts had nothing to set
them. off. It was this nimis eloquentia, this faculty so
prodigiously improved, which helped to ruin him ; for
he was eminently a vain man, and like vain men he at-
tached undue importance to means that obtained mo-
mentary applause. Yes! he would speak, he would de-
nounce, he would prove, he would trust his cause to his
eloquence! Ile thought of words at the moment when
nothing could have saved him but deeds. And of all his
efforts, never one equal in eloquence to his last speech
at the Convention! Had it been delivered by a man
whose history commanded admiration instead of loathing,
it would have been cited as a master-piece of lucid ar-
gument, subtle thought, and fiery and earnest passion ;
—for in words Robespierre had passion, and his cold
dogmas ring out as living principles. But the spirit of
the audience was gone, the speech was out of place and
season.

The "Writings of Catullus" is a discriminating
criticism on one of the most graceful and sensitive of
the Latin poets. The " Last Fifteen Years of the
Bourbons" is an able historiette, -but - there is too
much contempt expressed for the unfortunate Duchess
d'Angouleme. The Reviewer may ridicule, as much
as he pleases, the ignorant bigotry, the narrow mind,
the haughty intolerance of that drivelling idiot,
Charles the Tenth ; but let him touch lightly and
generously on the infirmities of the Duchess. If she
was devoured by gloom, let him remember the mis-
fortunes that cast such a dark shadow on her mind.
Let him remember the fate of her father, her mother,
her aunt, her brother—all murdered, at a time, too,
when her young heart was most susceptible of painful
impressions—and cease to sneer at the melancholy to
which she was ever after the victim. The last parting
between the Duchess and her Royal parent took
place in the prison of the Temple ; there, too, she bade
farewell to her young brother, the Dauphin ; and
then was herself doomed to a long and painful im-
prisonment, from which she was only released to
become an exile in foreign lands. Surely she is not
to be despised, if when she next returned to France in
middle age, she could not forget the sorrows and pri-
vations she had endured in youth ! " Tasso and
Chatterton" is an article, the drift of which it is not
very easy to make out. The Reviewer appears as if
anxious to establish a parallel between these two
poets, but he soon loses sight of his object, and ex-
patiates on the most extraneous matters. In the
essay entitled "The American Envoy, and the King
of the French," the Reviewer, after condemning the
perfidious and arbitrary policy of Louis Philippe,
observes, " the French are now, what they were in
1799, sick of home experiments at Liberty and Con-
stitutions ; and they have turned their attention now,
as they did then, to conquest and military achieve-
ments. A state of peace they have found humiliates
them. They would try war as a change, and they
will try it. History will not forget that it was to
this pass Louis Philippe brought the French nation.
The Napoleon of Peace has brought the country into
the sentiment, the desire, the necessity of war."
There is much sagacity and foresight in these remark.
Disgusted with the state of things at home, and the
prospect of their continuance, we firmly believe that
at no distant period the French will fly to war as a
refuge from uneasy thoughts ; but in that case France
itself will be the chief sufferer,- for the fierce patriotic
enthusiasm of 1794 can never again be revived ; and,
without such revival, how could she make head
against the great European Powers which, one after
the other, would he sure to be dragged into the
struggle •

a newly-arrived governess to the widows daughter,
an old flame whom he had seduced and deserted some
two or three years before. The governess, of course,faints at the sight of the odious monster, and thus the
little affair gets wind, and the unlucky Peregrine is
politely requested by the widow to make himself
scarce. His next attempt is on the affections of a
young lady, whose nearest connexions are enormously
rich ; but here again his speculation fails, for the
relation on whom she is chiefly dependent, fails, and
the shrewd fortune-hunter, as a matter of course
abandons all ideas of her hand. A fourth time he
tries his luck in the matrimonial lottery, but, as
before, he is wholly unsuccessful ; at length, he
resolves to see what can be done by a show of piety
and Puritanism, and by duly attending a conventicle
in one of the respectable quarters of the metropolis,
he contrives to attract the notice, and ultimately win
the hand of a pious lady, the widow of a colonel in the
army. But, alas, he is no sooner married to this ex-
emplary dane, than he discovers, while spending the
honeymoon with her at Hastings, that she is no
better than she should be—that the story of her
widowhood is all a hoax--that her fortune, instead of
being considerable, has in reality no existence—and
that she is head over ears in debt, which debts it is of
course her husband's enviable privilege to liquidate.
Peregrine is, in consequence, utterly ruined, with
which just act of retribution the story terminates.
The author has delineated the character of this keen,
selfish, scheming adventurer wth great spirit and
humour ; and it is impossible not to indulge in hearty

laughter at some of the comic situations in which he is
placed. The portrait of the itinerant lecturer on
Mesmerism, too, is cleverly drawn ; and the same
praise may he extended to the sketch of Mr. Tiobbellon
Mawks, who is a fine sample of the canting hypocrite.
Like all Theodore Hook's novels, " Peregrine Bunce"
abounds in touches of the broadest comic humour.

FLANDERS MAIL.
BRU S SELS , J ULY 7.—The representatives of the linen manu-
facturers, who met on Sunday at Ghent, resolved to wait on
1 the Members, to ask them for information respecting the fresh
ordinance, which will injure our manufacturers. Yesterday
these representatives joined with those of Brabant and Hainaut,
and to the number of 150, went to the Ministers of Foreign
Affairs, the Interior, and Finance. After hearing the summary
of the proceedings at their meetings, Messrs. De Briey and
Nothombe replied in substance, that they consider it as certain
that within a week from the time the question that had been
raised would be solved in such a manner as to give them satis-
faction, that if what seemed impossible, the just expectation
of the country should be disappointed, the Cabinet would take
prompt, and resolute, and effectual, and vigorous measures.
The manufacturers then went to the residence of the Minister
of Finance, where they were expected. Mr. Suits spoke
nearly as follows :
Gentlemen,—The Branch of manufactures of which you
have spoken has long been the object of the solicitude of the
Government. We trust that the Convention, which will be
signed in a few days, will dispel the fears for the prosperity of
Flanders, which have been excited by the late ordinance of
the French Government."

A Member then observed that it was necessary immediately
to take a provisional measure, in order to prevent the importa•
tiou into 13elgium of large quantities of English thread. It is
reported, said he, that a vast depot of English thread is going
to be formed in Belgium, and the necessary result will be that
if the French market is closed against the English, its thread
and linen will take another direction, and be passed into our
market.

The Minister of Finance replied, that he had received day by
dad an account of the importation into our port, and that he
had not heard of any importation; and that if any such thing
should happen, he would immediately take some step to prevent
it; if the existing laws should allow the application of a sufficient
remedy, recourse will be had to the legislature. He stated that
no consignment intended for France had had its destination
changed, and been sent to Belgium.
The explanations given by the Minister were received
with confidence by the deputation, and relieved the appre-
hension of most of the members who, giving credit to certain
journals, fancied that Belgium had nothing to do but to
submit to the blow aimed at it.

BRUSSELS, JULY B.—Yesterday, at four o'clock, his
Majesty received the great Deputation of the Merchants and
Manufacturers.

Mr. Delahaye spoke with some of the Deputation. He
detailed the unhappy condition of the working classes, who
might give themselves up to despair if the present French
tariff of customs should continue inforce. He said thatthis tariff
was chiefly directed against England and English manufacturers;
but that Belgium ought also to secure itself against them. He
then drew the attention of his Majesty to the advantage of a
commercial treaty with Spain, and added that it was desirable
that the Government should adopt adopt a commercial legisla-
tion conformable to that of France, which would be the first
link of a chain to connect us in a commercial point of view
with that country.
Mr. Delahaye, in conclusion, strongly urged the necessity o
measures to ameliorate the condition of the working classes.
His Majesty replied that he was aware of the unfavourable
state of the linen manufactures, and the numerous workmen
who depend upon it for their subsistence. His Majesty added,
that he would do his utmost to obtain a modification of the
French tariff.

On hearing of the King's return, the deputations of Caer-
tray, Iseghemar, and Roulers, immediately set out for Brussels.
They are to be received by the King to-day.

Her Majgsty and Prince Albert, attended by the Royal
Suite, left Buckingham Palace on Saturday, soon atter
three o'clock, fur Claremont Park, where the Court is
expected to spend a few days.

MR. 'WALLACE'S RESOLUTIONS.—The Parliamentary
Votes published on Saturday did not contain the
" division " on Mr. Wallace's resolutions. We mention
the fact, as the reason for its non-appearance in our co-
lumns on Saturday.
BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET, JULY B.—Our market has
become exceedingly depressed and inanimate. The flat
state of the country demand is seriously felt by the
buyers, who are not disposed to add to their stocks, and
the sales have been very trifling. Arrived, from Barba-
does, 570 hhds. and 185 hhds. from Jamaica.—Bristol
Mercury.

Skipper, the celebrated Norwich veteran pedes-
trian, has nearly accomplished the arduots task of walking
fifty miles a day for twenty successive days, and to the present
time he is going on all right, and has not yet failed in any one
of the days in finishing the stated distance. Sunday will be
the last day of the match, therefore on the Monday he intends
walking an extra fifty miles, being for his benefit.—Norfolk
Chronicle.

The corn merchants are playing their old game
again of raising prices, in order to lower the duty on foreign
grain, and we heff they calculate on getting the duty down to
6s. per quarter ii a few weeks—which we have no doubt they
will effect. This plainly shows the absurdity of the present
Corn-laws; a fixed duty would be far preferable.—Exeter
Western Times.

YARMOUTH.—DISCOVERY OF ARCHITECTURAL RE-
MAINS Iti ST. NICHOLAS CHURCH.—In the autumn of
1841, the Dean and Chapter of Norwich ordered the re-
storation of four double light early English windows in
the north and south aisles of St. Nicholas Church, which
is now being completed under the judicious and able
superintendence of J. Brown, Esq., an architect who ranks
among the most successful ecclesiastical architects of
the day. The apse has been embellished for many
years by a painted Grecian screen, which being damaged
by the masons employed in restoring the windows, was
removed from the south and north sides, when the
" Opus pretiosum circa magnum allure," that is, " pre-
cious, or costly work about the great altar" mentioned
by Swinden,was exposed to view.—Cambridge Advertiser.
DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT RELICS.—TO the anti-
quarian, the following additional particulars, connected
with the finding of the battle axes and sword, at Low-
thorpe, near Driffield, may prove interesting. As
Richard Foord, a servant in the employ of Mr.
John Lamplugh, _farmer, Lowthorpe, was about to
cut a drain, on turning up the earth he found
a number of tiles, on removing which, twelve
battle axes presented themselves, ing side by side,
and two portions of a large sword were laid across them.
The sword was of steel, sharp at both edges, and had
apparently been of large dimensions ; but the middle
and the hilt were eaten away by the hand of time.
The axes were made of a metal resembling brass.
some of them were in a remarkably fine state of
preservation, and on rubbing away the adhering
mould became quite bright, and appeared to have
had a fine polish on them. The edges were very
sharp, so much so, that it seemed extraordinary how so
soft a metal had been made to retain an edge so keen,
unless the Romans had a method of case hardening
brass. These axes were not very large, and somewhat
resembled in shape those axes emblazoned on escut-
cheons, though the outlines were not so acutely deter-
mined. None of them had shafts, but the hole of an
oval shape still remained, and to some of the axes was
attached a short chain. This chain it is supposed had
been for the purpose of passing through the shaft and
hooking on to a loop on the opposite side, to prevent the
axe parting from the shaft. Three other axes were
afterwards found by another individual.—York Courant.
OH THAT THE WORLD WERE BLIND I—Dr. Frank-
lin observes:—" Tile eyes of other people are the eyes
that ruin us. If all but myself were blind, I should
neither want fine house nor fine furniture."

The Augsburgh Gazette announces a Ministerial
change in the Wallachian Government. Constantine
Suzzo replaces Kantakazenos ; Styr Bey, at present in
Paris, is appointed to manage the Home Government, in
lieu of Michael Ghika, the Hospodar's brother, whose
functions are, ad interim, to be filled by Ban Baljano ;
Nincsalesko replaces Heresko in the Finance De-
partment ; Bibaske, named Minister of Justice, has
declined. The Russian Commissary, Colonel Dumahel,
has made all these changes; I.nd in making them, he
aims at annoying Prince Ghika, as well as the Assembly
of the States. The States complained of the Ministry,
and wanted to replace it by more liberal men of their
Own body. Colonel Duhamel has changed the Ministry.
and obtained the appointment of men considered liberal,
but not of the States; so that the States are dissatisfied.
Chekib Effiindi, sent by the Porte, will, it is said, sup-
port the Hospodar, Ghika, and his family.
By the death of Lieut.-General the Hon. John
Ramsay, which took place last week at Edinburgh, the
Colonelcy of the 79tli Foot is vacant. General Ramsay
had held the regiment little more than a year, and the
date of his commission as Lieut.-General was Nov. 23,
1841. lie was brother of the late Earl of Dalhousie,
and iu his 68th year. He has left a very large family
behind him.

At Berne a curious case of opposition to the mar-
riage of a deaf and dumb girl was brought under con-
sideration. It appeared that Anne Luthi, the person in
question, an exceedingly pretty young woman of 25, and
possessing a fortune of 30,000 francs, had been placed in
a deaf and dumb institution near Berne, where she had
received an excellent education. On herreturning home to
Bohrbach, where ker relations resided, her hand was de-
manded by a M. Brossard, who had been deaf from 14
years of age, and had been employed for some years
as a teacher in the institution at which Mlle. Luthi
had been brought up. He was 32 years of age, bore an
excellent character, and had saved some money out of
his salary. As Art. 31 of the Civil Code of Berne enacts
that deaf and dumb persons could not marry without
having first obtained permission from the Tribunal, she
made the application in the usual manner, but was
opposed by her relations, and by the commune in which
she lived, as they preferred seeing her fortune remain
in the hands of some young peasant of the neighbour-
hood to having it pass to a stranger. The grounds of
opposition were, that Brossard had taken an undue
advantage of his position in the institution to capti-
vate the young girl's affection—that it was to be feared
that the children would labour under the infirmity of the
parents—and that these latter could not, in case they
were like other children, give them the cares required
for a good moral education. The objections relating
to the children being proved by the testimony of medical
men to be perfectly chimerical, and letters being pro-
duced from the young female herself, admirably written,
breathing forth the utmost affection for Brossard, the
Court decided, that as from their infirmity being mutual,
and: their consequent habit of interchanging ideas by
signs, they were well suited to each other, and there
were good grounds for expecting that the female would
be happier with Brossard than with any other person, no
just grounds for opposition existed, and permission must
accordingly be given for the marriage.
" SWlNG."—Sussex, we believe, was the county in
which 13 years ago incendiarism began. There " Swing,"
first showed his head, and there he was oftenest seen. We
understand he has again made his appearance in that county,
and that several fires and many cases of cattle maiming have
occurred lately. In addition to this, threatening letters have
been flying about. These untoward circumstances have occa-
sioned considerable alarm. Work is scarce, and owing to the
extreme lightness of the crops, which have never been known
to be more unpromising, harvest will not afford much extra
employment.— Niles Independent,

DUBOURG'S CENTRIFUGAL
RAILWAY.

This novel scientific exhibition—a truly marvellous
adaptation of simple mechanical laws to the purposes of
locomotion—was opened for the first time to the public
a few evenings since, at Great Windmill-street, in the
Haymarket. Heretofore we had considered that the ignis
rota, or Pandemonian-wheel, the affixation to which of
corporal bodies, and the whirling theta round with in-
conceivable rapidity, which is so frequently represented
by Della Bella, in his pictures of the Inferno—along with
the rotatory impulsion of the revolving Ixion, were little
better than a brace of clever fictions or impossibilities,
inasmuch as they appeared to sin against the laws of
capacity in human corperieties to endure or permit of
such motion. The centrifugal railway however, un-
deceived us, and we are prone to confess, that some
shrewd Archimedean had discovered centuries ago in the
ancient world, that which M. Dubourg only at the pre-
sent time brings forward. But to particulars. Entering
the saloon, the eye is attracted by a large mechanical
apparatus, which consists of descending planes, that at
their centre assume the form of a bold-curved circle,
each measuring about forty feet in diameter. The
length of the inclined planes may be computed at about
160 feet together. To the upper end of one of these a car,
with grooved-wheels, is fixed on the rail-trams bordering
the entire apparatus, and which, being allowed to descend
by its own impetus,either empty or containingwhatsoever
may be placed in it, slides swiftly down the plane,
and by the increased power or momentum gained in that
descent, immediately rises round the central circle, and,
in obedience to centrifugal laws, performs what may be
technically called a somerset, which motion again im-
parting to it a new momentum, causes it to dart up the as-
cending plain with the renewed velocity of a rocket. The
experiment is miraculous. A weight of 112 lbs., then a
can brimful of water, and lastly—which was the most
fearful and wonderful—an exhibitor, and subsequently
a timid woman, were consecutively entrusted to the car,
and whirled upside down round the circle without spillage
of a drop of liquid, or the slightest nervousness on the
part of the female during this apparently perilous and
lightning-like rotation. Till due consideration is made
of the composition of the forces in action--their accele-
rated motion from gravity, and the repellent or centri-
fugal powers in operation, this spectacle startles the
mind like a marvel. Yet it is explainable by the sim-
plest law of mechanics, and is identically the same as
that by which a tumbler of water, placid in a sling, may
by gradually increasing oscillation (which is, however,
here accomplished at once), be made to revolve the whole
circle without the upsetting of a drop. With regard to
its practical application, it might most beneficially be
introduced into mines and collieries, where ascent and
descent require the frequent carriage of scoria, ore, or
coal. In such cases Lord Ashley's humane projects
might be aided by its adoption, in the stead of human
strength, sweat, and degradation; and the present im-
brutement of our species. Either as a wonder of the
day, or a scientific triumph, it must not be neglected to
be visited.

F THE COINAGE.—As a great many questions have
arisen as to whether a sovereign placed on the balance ought to
turn it, it is important to know that the Bank decided on
Thursday that all sovereigns presented at their counters which
shall be on the balance shall be taken as of legal weight. The
new silver coinage was issued to the public yesterday, and it is
understood that the Bank vaults have already received larg
upplies from the Mint.
ANOTHER CASE OF DEATH BY STARVATION.—
Abraham Holloway died at Bradford, on Friday last, at noon,
.under the following circumstances:—Nary Holloway, wife of
the brother of the deceased, states that her brother-in-law has
been in York Castle for the last nine months for the non-pay-
ment of poor-rates. He had nothing to live on while there but
bread and water for five months, and the other three months
about 3s. 7d. per week, for doing some job or other about the
wards of the Castle. A sister of the deceased, who resides in
Leeds states, that she has been once to Bradford, to the clerk of
the Board of Guardians, for some relief for him, and to get him
out of the Castle, but it was of no avail. About six weeks
ago, the deceased was liberated from York Castle, and he
came to his sister's, who resides in Leeds, and stopped there
about a month ; this was a poor family, anti, of course, could
do but very little for him. He then went to Bradford to a
brother of his, who is nearly as poor as himself, and had next
to nothing to give him either to eat or drink; and last week
the man was taken ill. His brother's wife applied on Wed-
nesday last to the relieving officer for some relief, but the kind-
hearted relieving officer told her she must do as well as she
could until Saturday. She then asked him for a note for the
doctor ; this he gave her, but not a single sixpence of money
to get him anything either to eat or drink. The doctor at-
tended and sent him some medicine, but it was too late, the
man expired on Friday at noon. These facts require no com-
ment.—Bradford Correspondent of the Leeds Journal.
The workmen who are digging a sewer in the Rue
Olivier, near the church of Notre Dame de Lorette, have
turned up a large quantity of human bones. This is considered
to be very unaccountable, as there is no record of any ceme-
tery having existed in that quarter.

A mason named Dupain, residing at Compiegne,
in the Faubourg St. Lazare, disappeare.l from his habi-
tation a few years back, and the report ran that he had
gone away with another woman, he and ' his wife being
frequently at variance. The matter dropped at last,
and was no more spoken of, when, a few days ago,
some smoke being seen issuing from a crack below an
oven which is common to the different lodgers, and
some accident being apprehended from fire, it was de-
cided to open the wall. In doing so, it was recollected
that it hail been formerly used as a rabbit-hutch by
the Dupains, but had been long wailed up. The wail
was accordingly taken down ; and what was the horror
of the bystanders on beholding inside a dead body, fully
Idressed, leaning against the wall, like a man sleeping
tranquilly. This body, completely dried up, was recog-
nisedl to be that of Dupain. The clothes were in a per-
fect state of preservation, and the skin of the face and
hands was dry like parchment, but dark-coloured. In-
formation was immediately given to the authorities, who
ordered the wife of Dupain to be arrested on suspicion.
The trial of thirty-seven of a band of sixty-nine
thieves and robbers, organised into a systematic asso-
ciation, whose arrest we noticed at the time, has oc-
cupied the Court of Assizes for ten days, ending on
Saturday last. The President condemned the prisoners
in various punishments—from thirty years' hard labour
at the hulks down to five years' simple imprisonment.
Among the first category there were eight women.
QUEEN CHRISTINA. —The Moniteur Parisien of
Friday evening contains' the following :—" On Mon-
day evening Queen Christina and her suite set out for
1 Malmaison, to spend there the remainder of the summer.
In the morning the Cure of Rueil, with the permission of
the Bishop of Versailles„ blessed all the apartments in
the chateau, as is the custom in Spain. The next morn-
ing the band of the 39th Regiment of the Line, in gar-
rison at Rueil, executed several symphonies under the
Queen's apartment. The Mayor, the Clergy, and the
different authorities, are to be received here to-morrow
(this day). Queen Christina has not, as was reported,
purchased Malmaison, but has simply taken it on a lease.
In all the repairs and improvements ordered by the
Queen, the greatest care has been taken to preserve
everything which called to mind the times of the Em-
peror Napoleon and the Empress Josephine. The council-
room has been left as it was arranged by the orders of
Napoleon. The grand drawing-room is furnished in the
style of the Empire ; and on the pendule on the chimney
is a remarkably fine bronze, representing the First Con-
sol on horseback, at: the passage of Mont St. Bernard.
The delicate attentions of the Royal owner of Malmaison
have caused a lively sensation throughout the neigh-
bourhood, and, notwithstanding the late hour of her ar-
rival, a considerable number of persons were assembled
to greet her with loud acclamations."
MELANCHOLY CASE OF SUICIDE.—On Friday an
inquest was held before Mr. Carter, at the Artichoke, Cliurch-
street, Camberwell, on the body of Mrs. Eliza Crowder, aged
27, the wife of a respectable baker, residing near the Grove,
at Camberwell, who destroyed herself. It appeared by the
testimony of a number of witnesses, that on Wednesday
morning, about twenty minutes to two o'clock, the deceased
was found lying in the shop with her throat cut in a dreadful
manner. Fier cap was on the counter, and a razor near her
head. Two policemen soon attended, and they were of opinion
she had been dead for some time, which was corroborated by
the evidence of Mr. Massey, surgeon, who resides nearly
opposite. Mr. Crowder usually went to bed before his wife,
he having t ()get up early in the morning, and she generally closed
the shop. She and her husband apparently lived happily together,
but on the Tuesday she had been labouring under considerable
excitement, in consequence of her son having been, beaten
by another boy, but beyond this nothing extraordinary was
observed in her manner. It seemed, however, by the exami-
nation of Mr. Thomas Nathaniel Crowder, a compositor, living
in Webber-row, the brother of her husband, that she had
been labouring under a most erroneous impression of her hus-
band's infidelity, and also that the brother wished to separate
husband and wife, than which nothing could be further from
fact. She was in the habit of saying that, because she was
friendless she supposed she " must be put upon," while no un-
kindly feeling was observed on the husband's part. Inspector
Campbell stated, in answer to questions put by the Coroner
and Jury, that he had ascertained the razor belonged to Mr.
Crowder, and that it was usually kept on the mantelpiece in
the back parlour. It is supposed the act must have been com-
mitted immediately on the closing of the shop at eleven o'clock
on Tuesday night. The Coroner inquired if the Jury wished
to examine the husband, but they were of opinion it was not at
all necessary, and unanimously returned a verdict, " That the
deceased destroyed herself while in a state of temporary
insanity."
THE SOCIAL VILLAGERS.—The eleventh anniver-
sary of this Society took place at the Bedford Arms, on Thurs-
day last, Mr.. Sheridan Knowles (its founder), presided; Mr.
A. M'Cailan was the vice-president. The attendance was. as
usual, numerous and respectable. The Chairman, on his health
being proposed, returned thanks in a most glowing and animated
speech, in the course of which he drew a most melancholy pic-
ture of the present degenerate state of the British drama, which
he attributed, in a main degree to the exclusive patronage be•
stowed by the aristocracy of the country on foreigners. " For
whilst (said the Chairman) a theatre where the best and most
sterling of our English plays are being continually well acted,
present but comparatively empty benches, the one where French
dramas are exhibited, have constantly crowded audiences. Mr.
Knowles said he was the author of a great number of dramatic
pieces, none of which kept that possession of the stage which he
thought the applause with which they had been formerly re-
ceived, so justly entitled them to, and which he imputed to the
reason he had just stated ; and, he further observed, that he
Ifeared his last production (now performing at the Haymarket)
would in all probability soon share the same fate as the others
had done. Several very excellent songs were given among the
number, a very pleasing one (composed by Nelson, and sung
by Mr. T. Williams, out of compliment, we presume, to the
dramatist) entitled " The Rose of Arragon." Mirth and good
humour prevailed the whole evening, and the company did not
separate until a late hour.
PUBLIC MEETING IN LIVERPOOL.—We learn with

SHEEP-FARMING IN NEW SOUTH
WALES.

Among the miscellaneous extracts from the Au.s-
tralian Journals copied into those of India, we find the
Calcutta Englishman quoting an extraordinary narra-
tive relative to the peril attending that Inuch talked-
, of lucrative undertaking, sheep-farming in the interior
of New South Wales. The writer of the letter.which
is here alluded to is described as a settler at P6rtland
Bay, and the truth of what he 'ays respecting the:
fact of the people of England entertaining a most
erroneous idea of the occupation of sheep-farming
cannot be refuted. Instead of it being "the easiest
and most delightful life beneath the sun, with the
certainty of making a fortune," scarcely a living can
now be obtained from it, and the reason is, that the
flocks are increasing so prodigiously fast, that there
is not sufficient demand to keep them within saleable
compass. Hence the great fall in the value of sheep,
and the desperate state of the agriculturists. On
the subject of the safety of the country,
the accounts appear to be most discouraging.
The frequent murder of sheep-farmers and
their assistants while tending their flocks in the
tracks of the interior, the only places in which there
seems to be nourishment sufficient to support the
herds, is alluded to as illustrative of the caution re-
quired on the part of persons who may feel inclined
to embark in this description of occupation ; while the
cannibalism by which these slaughters are accom-
panied are not the least part of the revolting details
which cause the mind to sicken in the contemplation
of them. To fit a party for the hardy requisites of
sheep farming, which appears to be the mode of life
which most of the agriculturists who leave our shores
are inclined to follow, there must, it is stated, be no
lack of moral courage as well as physical force to
encounter the many obstacles which present them-
selves, either in the shape of long wanderings after
the necessary pasturage and water, or the uncertainty
of how long the " run" may satisfy the flocks under
inspection even when it is discovered. The picture of
such a state of things is pretty well portrayed in the
following extract of the letter of the writer before
alluded to, and which will, doubtless, produce in the
minds of those who may have in contemplation such a
migration the idea of the necessity of some further
investigation before they determine upon such ad-
venturous pursuits. After stating the particulars
attending the death of Mr. Morton and his servant,
which is considered as only one of the many in the
catalogue of massacres committed by the natives, he
proceeds : •

"As the Government have not taken the slightest Step
in this affair, it is not to be wondered at if the settlers
themselves take ample vengeance on the blacks, and
which they most assuredly will do. This affair was
preceded by the murder of a shepherd at a station on
the same river, but for which upwards of twenty of them
got shot, and since then several attempts have been
made ; indeed the other night there were five or six
blacks at my sheepfold, when it was only a few yards
from my house • fortunately the dogs prevented them
doing any mischief. But the other night I had a terrible
alarm from them. I was coming up from the bay with
a dray load of provisions, and only one man and my-
self ; we had done our day's journey, made our camp,
and had supper, and were then distant a common day
and a half's journey from home, when about eight o'clock
in the evening we heard a most terrific yell from a large
body of them about a quarter of a mile distant. Luckily
John II- and two men on their way to the bay
had just joined us, so we all got our fire-arms in
readiness, expecting to be attacked every moment.
As, however, they did not come down to us
then, we thought our only chance of• safety was
to yoke the bullocks up again, and quietly steal
away, as our three allies were going in a contrary
direction ; fortunately, it was a brilliant moonlight
night, and we reached the first station, distant about
twenty miles, in nine hours. When I reached home I

had been upwards of twenty-six hours on my legs, most
of the time walking, with only two hours' rest. I never
was so knocked up in my life. :Yon may imagine this
state of things increases our anxiety:very much ; we
dare not now go ten yards from the house without fire-
arms. The ether day a black fellow, without any wea-
pon at all, rushed at two men and nearly mastered
them, breaking a double-barrelled gun, about three
miles from my house ; and one day, whilst I was at the
bay, my wife was going to take a walk with her servant,
when, about one hundred yards from the house, they saw
a native, stark naked, standing [in the creek watching
them; she went back to call her brother, when the fellow
made off."

The latest news from London noticed by the
Sydney papers is the destruction by fire of the Tower.
Tile new discovery of a river called the Richmond,
about 50 miles to the northward of Clarence, was re-
garded as of some importance, as being another link
towards the connexion of Sydney with Moreton Bay.
The land on the bard:3 is described as being very fine,
abounding with pine and cedar.

WILL OF JUSTICE LITTLEDALE.—The will of the
late Justice Littledale has just been sworn to by the executors,
in the Prerogative Court of the 'Lord Archbishop of Canter-
bury, in Doctors'-commons. The personal property has been
sworn under 250,000/. There are several legacies bequeathed
to the testator's grandchildren, servants, and clerks ; but the
bulk of the property goes to his daughter, who married Mr.
Courtney (who is one of the executors), to whom a dowry of
23,0001. was given at marriage. The will is of great length.
Sir Joseph was called to the bar in 1798, and was raised to the
bench in 1824, whey he received the honour of knighthood.
MADEMOISELLE RACHEL.—This celebrated actress
having completed her engagement at her Majesty's Theatre,
takes her benefit this evening, when she will give representa-
tions of some of the finest scenes in Marie Stuart, Androma-
guy, and Les Horaces. The principal artistes of the Italian
Opera, including Persiani, Frezzolini, Moltini, Lablache,
Guasco, Roneoni, Rubini, and also Cerito, will lend their bril-
liant aid upon the occasion.
We learn, with much satisfaction, that negotiations
are far advanced for laying down the Electric Telegraph of

to Portsmouth. Her Majesty's Government take a very lively
interest in the matter.— Ramway 'Times.
NEW POLICE ARRANGEMENTS. Several cases
having lately occurred, in which criminals have not been taken
into custody so promptly as the public had a right to expect,
the Commissioners of Police have arranged that a new company
shall be immediately raised out of the present police, to be
called the " Detective Force," and is to consist of two inspec-
tors and eight sergeants, and private constables to be seleoted
by the Commissioners from the most efficient officers belonging
to the various divisions of the present police force, who are to
have full range of the whole metropolitan district, with power
and funds to enable them to prosecute a diligent search, in
order to detect and bring to justice offenders, whose crimes have
laid them open to the punishment of the law. The two inspec-
tors are to receive 2004 per annum, and the pay of the other
eight officers is to be raised to thirty shillings per week each.
STAFFORD HOUSE.—GRAND POLISH FETE. —On
Friday next, the 15th inst., the Duchess of Sutherland has
invited the elite of our aristocracy and the fashionable world,
as well as those who may be charitably disposed, to amenable
beneath the roof of her stately and magnificent mansion. on
the occasion of a fete to be there given for the benefit of the
Polish refugees. Signors Mario and Rubini have kindly
consented to lend their assistance, and the Stabat Mater of
Rossini is to be performed by the full strength of the Ger-
man company. The price of tickets has been fixed, we un-
derstand, at two guineas, the same as last year ; but, in conse-
quence of the great demand for them on that occasion, not-
withstanding their high price, their number is to be very
limited this time, and as the notice has been unavoidably short,
it is hoped that those who wish to attend will make an early
application. It is superfluous to add, that it is expected 'the
approaching fete, conducted, as it will be on a scale of the
most unbounded splendour and liberality, will eclipse most of
those which have preceded it this year, and may be looked on
as a not inappropriate termination of the fashionable season...-

DEATH or Mas. Fox.--This venerable lady ex-
pired on Friday morning at her seat at St. Anne's Hill, near
ChertseT, in the 97th year of her age. The Right Hon. Chas.
James lox died in 1806, aged 58. She was consequently three
years older than her husband, and survived him 36 years.
The funeral of the late Earl of Leicester is fixed to
take place this day, at Tetterson, about nine miles from
Holkham.

HER MAJEETY'S TITEATRE.—Anna Bolena was
revived at her Majesty's Theatre last night, the chief novelty in
the revival being Mad. Frezzolini in the part of Anna. 'fhe
performance of this distinguished artiste in this character was
a signal triumph of genius and skill; and even with the recol-
lection of Grisi in the same part strong in the mind, she left
nothing to be wished for on the part of the audience. Until
last night, in fact, the English public had no sufficient oppor-
tunity for judging with anything like accuracy the execution of
this eminent singer, the parts she had previously appeared in
being all subordinate, with the exception of Lncrersa Borgia,
the music of which afforded her no adequate field for the display
of her great powers. But in the part of Anna Bolena, she has
burst forth upon the musical world of England as a prodigy in
her art, and she has all at once planted herself firmly in the
public favour ,if this country. It is but justice to state that the
part of Giovani Seymour was ably and artistically performed
by Madame Ronconi, notwithstanding great apparent illness
