The original columns of the Paris Journals are filled with
articles on the approaching elections, almost to the exclusion of
all other subjects. With only two exceptions, they are rather
criticisms upon the candidates, who are regarded as the chiefs
of the diffejent political parties in France, than remarks upon
the principles on which they found their appeals to the electors.
The Quotidienne of Monday publishes the circular of the
Royalist Election Committee, which commences as follows :
" At the moment of a serious struggle in the electoral col-
leges, which will cement the fate of France for five years, per-
haps in a disastrous manner, the Royalist Committee has
deemed it necessary to discuss the conduct to be pursued by
the Royalists. Their decision is that, after the deplorable ex-
perience of Ministerial majorities and systems, which a coali-
tion of 1639 introduced, the principle followed in the last elec-
tions is not a good one. .On the contrary, in the present de-
composition of parties, the moment has come for raising the
Royalist flag and manifesting one's opinions."
The Commerce, which seems to have no better opinion of
M. Thiers than M. Guizet, calls upon the electors to choose
candidates of true patriotism, who would attempt to right the
vessel of the State, which is rather out of its equilibrium ;
and, above all, put a stop to the lavish expenditure on the for-
tifications of Paris, which this Journal persists in describing
as the result of a conspiracy against the liberty of the Parisians
by the leaders of the great parties in the last Chamber, both in,
and out of office.

The French Government received by telegraph, from Tou-
lon, the following despatch, dated Algiers, 15th instant :-
4• The Governor-General of Algeria, to the Minister of War.
—The last manoeuvre in the Atlas has obtained for us the sub-
mission of the tribes
.of Beni Sala, Mouzaia. Beni Messaoud,
'Sournata, Beni Menad, and Cbenoua, and all the Hadjoutes.
The division of Oran is on its march to descend the Chelif ;
the division of Algiers, formed into three columns,. is preparing
to move."

Constitutionnel gives the following letter from Tlemcen,
June 4 :••—•.‘ The second expeditionary column has just con-
cluded a successful a.tack on the tribe of the Ouled-Assas.
They ransacked their silos, and brought back to Tlemcen about
400 camel-loads of corn, which is considered a very consi-
derable quantity. The western districts may now be considered
as altogether subjected to our power. The Emperor of Mo-
rocco, Muley-Abdheraman, has sent some officers of his army
with presents to General Bedeau. The General received
them the day before yeAerday, and treated them with great
politeness. They declared, in the name of their master, that
Abd-el-Kader's manmuvres should have no sanction from Mo-
rocco, and that our offers of peace, were most acceptable.
The Commerce informs us that a Convention has been en •
tered into between the French and Neapolitan Governments
for the transport of letters and travellers from Naples to Mar-
seilles, by steam-packets. The ratification of this treaty is
daily expected. Letters between those two cities, and conse7
quently between the two countries, which now take eight days,
will in future take three days less.

The Presse publishes die following letter from Teheran, but
does not give the date : --‘• The policy of the Persian Govern-
ment is not changed, although the icfluence of Russia has di-
minished, and that of England increased. No more mention
is made of the evacuation of Karck, and there is every reason
to believe that Russia will be disappointed in the hoped for
results of her mediation. At Herat, Kamran Shah wished to
recal the English, but his Minister, Yar Mehemet Khan, over-
rules him and defeats all his projects, keeping his sovereign
besieged in his citadel. Revolts are incessantly taking place in
the south of Persia. This unf?rtunate country is nearly ex-
hausted. lts finances are so much reduced that it is unable to
pay its most just debts, not twenty tomauns being left in the
public treasury.
The Augsburgh Gazette states, that on the 9th instant dis-
turbances of a very serious nature broke out in the city of
Peath, in Hungary, occasioned by the discontent of the jour-
neymen Wiens, respecting some differences with the masters of
the corporation in the matter of a savings bank. Sixteen hun-
dred of these men refused to work, and marched in a body out
of the town. Some cavalry were sent against them, and forty
were brought in as prisoners. Immediately an attempt at
rescue was made by the journeymen and the populace. The
town house, which contains-the prison, was attacked, its win-
dows demolished, and the lights in the street destroyed. The
military were obliged to act, and many were wounded on both
sides. The next day 3,000 shoemakers had threatened to join
the tailors, and much apprehension was entertained for the
tranquillity of the town.
A letter from Constantinople, of the Ist instant, gives the
satisfactory intelligence that at a conference held on the 27th tilt.,
between the. Ambassadors of the Five Powers and the Turkish
Ministers, the latter made known the contents of despatches re-
ceived from the Seraskier Pacha, in which it is stated, upon
full evidence, that the inhabitants of Lebanon are not only
content with the present administration of the Porte, but are
far from de.iring any change. Syria has not been in so favour-
able a state for the last 40 years.
PAELAAMENTARY.

In the Lords the Income-tax Bill was converted, by the
Lords Commissioners giving the Royal Assent to it, into
a law. Their Lordships then adjourned.
In the Commons, Mr. O'Connell made a report from
the Belfast Election Inquiry Committee, recommending
the appointment of an agent for each of the parties. The
Hon. and Learned Gentleman made a motion accord-
ingly, but postponed it till this day. Mr. Ferrand an-
nounced that he should meet the motion, and a similar
one to be brought forward by Mr. Wortley, as to the.
Southampton election inquiry, with a direct negative.
Mr. Hume inquired of the Chancellor of the Ex
-
.

chequer, if he had taken any means to supply additional
silver, but the Chancellor answered the Hon. Member
that there was plenty of silver three weeks ago.
Awakened now, apparently, from a dream, he has taken,
he says, means to procure a supply.
The Drainage (Ireland) Bill went through Committee,
as did also the Copyright of Designs Bill.
The Employment in Mines Bill was committed. Mr.
Scott said if the Bill were carried through it would do
harm in Staffordshire. Lord Ashley, in consequence, as
he said, of some communication with two deputations,
has substituted the age of 10 for 13, and introduced a
regulation to employ the boys only three days in the
week. This is t more rational system than excluding
them wholly from the mines till they are thirteen. Great
objections were made to parts of the Bill, but it was
passed through the Cominiitee without any important
amendments, except those made by Lord Ashley him-
self'; and the Report was ordered to be received on
Friday.
The Report on the Sudbury Disfranchisement Bill
was brought up, after a division.
Mr. Blackstone moved to re-commit the Bill, but the
motion was rejected, by 48 to 19.

The House was employed with such measures all the
evening, Lord Eliot, we believe, being the only person
connected with the Ministry who was in the House.
After getting through the Orders, the House adjourned
at Twelve o'clock.
MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCE.
A General Court of the Governors of Bartholomew Hos-
pital was held last week, when a tribute was paid to the me-

Report, that since the foundation of the infirmary, 16,405 pa-
tients had been admitted; and in August, last year, 426 persons
received the benefit of the institution. There is a deficiency,
however, in the funds of 2001.
The district in Lancashire, called the Forest of Rossendale,
forming a square of shoot 24 miles in breadth end length
between Bolton, Blackburn, and Brumley, was, a century
since, only a waste of moors and bushes, not worth more than
a thousand a-year. It, is now studded over •with factories.
print-works, and bleaching establishments • cultivated in
dairy farms to the very summit of its hills, and worth at least
sixty thousand pounds of annual rental.
At Colne, the parish clergyman calculates that, out of a popu-

time. Mr. Hooper, surgeon, in the London-road, said the
wounds were of a dangerous description.
MITZRAS.II" AND SCIENTIFIC.

At a meeting of the Statistical Society of London, held on
Monday, in St. Martin's-place, and at which Prince Albert
was present, a paper was read by Joseph Fletcher, Esq., " On
the MuniCipal Institutions of-the English Towns," which de-
scribed their origin in the earliest forms of Teutonic associa-
tion, the identity of their privileges after the Conquest, and the
progress of their legislation in regard of Charters and Local
Acts. By sth and 6th of William IV., the revenues, consti-
tutions, and powers of 178 municipal corporations have been
newly regulated, and 85 left unaltered.
