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 different 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 di,astrous 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 c,nitrary, 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. Guizot, 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 :
" 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,
Souniata, Beni Menad, and Chenoua, 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." •
The Constitutionnel gives the following letter from Tlemcen,
June 4 :—" The second expeditionary column has just con-
chided a successful attack 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 offic-rs of his army
with presents to General Bedeau. The General received
them the day before yesterday, and treated them with great
politeness. They declared, in the name of their master, that
Ab:l-el.Kader's manceuvres should have no sanction from Mo-
.roceo, and that our offers of peace were most acceptable.
The Commerce informs us that a Convention has been en •
tereil into between the French and Neapolitan Governments
for the transport of letters and travellers from Naples t• Mar-
seilles, by steam-packets. The ratification of this treaty is
daily expected. Letters between those two cities, and conse-
quently between the two countries, which now take eight days,
will in future take three days less.
The Presse publishes the following letter from Teheran, but
does not give the date :—" The policy of the Persian Govern-
ment is not changed, although the iAuence 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 unfsr: unate country is nearly ex-
hausted. Its 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 Augsburgli Gazette states, that on the 9th instant dis-
turbances of a very serious nature broke out in the city of
Pesth, in Hungary, occasioned by the discontent of the jour-
neymen tailors. 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 matched 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 contain= 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 ult.,
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 Lebsnon are not only
content with the present administration of the Porte, but are
far from desiring any change. Syria has not been in so favour-
able a state for the last 40 years.
PARLIAMENTARY._ _

The Earl of Clarendon presented a petition from the
colonists of the Cape of Good Hope tor a Consititutiun, which
was warmly supported by die Noble Earl and Lord Bowden.
Ihe Earl of Ripon said the position of the colony militated
against the request of the colonists.
Lord Brougham said that he, too, shou'd oppose such a plan,
till the state of society in the colony was considerably improved.
Some further explanation was given by the Duke of Welling-
ton relative to Mr. St. George, bath whose dismissal from the
Magistracy of Ireland, and whose restoration to it, met his
Grace'a approbation.
The Lords were engaged till very nearly midnight in dia.
cussing the Income .tax Bill. The Marquis of Clanricarde
roared that the third reading be postponed for three months ;
and supported his motion by an able speech. He was sup-
ported by Earl Stanhope and Lord Monteagle in a useful
speech ; and opposed chiefly by Lord Fitzgerald and the Earl
of Ripon, who supported the third reading of the Bill. On
a divisi, n, the Contents were 99, and the Not Contents 28 ;
so the Bill was read a third time, and by a majority of 71,
passed. The Lords adjourned at Twelve o'Clock.
In the Commons, Sir G. Cockburn gave a further explana-
tion of the story that the crew of the Pique had been paid in
light sovereigns. The sovereigns were in fact given to the
sailors all full weight, but some of the tradesmen at Portsmouth
had endeavoured to persuade the sailors they were under-
weight, and they returned to the Dockyard to have them
weighed.
In reply to a question by Mr. FJster, Mr. Gladstone stated
that he believed the apparent. sc{reity of silver coin arose from
the momentary depreciation of the half-sovereigns. But the
subject had received attention, and an issue of half-sovereigns
would take place almost immediately.
In reply to Mr. Hutt, Sir Robert Peel said the Hanoverian
Minister had rejected the proposition of her Majesty's Govern-
ment relative to the Stade dues, and lie could give no further
information on the subject.
In reply to Sir Charles Napier—by whose remarks it appears
that the famous lightning inventor, Mr. Warner, is no more
contented with the present Government than he was with the
last—Sir Robert Peel stated that Sir George Murray, at his
desire, had nominated Sir Howard Douglas and Sir J. Hastings
to examine Mr. Warner's invention. Mr. Warner seems to
complain that the Gallant Officers desire to worm his secret
out of him.
Lord J. Russell's Bribery at Elections Prevention Bill was
read a second time.
Mr. Ward brought forward his resolution touching the Ballot,
and made a long and valuable speech in support of his motion.
It was seconded by Mr. H. Berkeley, who illustrated the effect
of the present system by occurrences at Bristol. The debate
on this subject, which was rather animated, occupied the
House till nearly twelve o'clock Mr. Sheil and
Mr. O'Connell spoke in favour of the motion. Sir
James Graham and Lord John Russell opposed it. There
were a number of minor speakers, pro and con., but the greater
part of them spoke in favour of the Ballot. Mr. Wakley spoke
against it, but said he should vote for it ; he meant, however,
to oppose its passing into a law, unless he could couple with it
an extension of the suffrage. On a division the numbers
were—for, 157 ; against, 290. So Mr. Ward's motion was lust,
but we hope the night was not thrown away, since it served to
rub op the arguments which can be urged fo- and against secret
voting. The House adjourned at One o'Clock.
MONEY—TRADE—COISTIVIERCE.
A General Court of the Governors of Bartholomew Hos-
pital was held last week, when a tribute was paid to the mes
morn of Thomas Helps, Esq., the late Treasurer. The Royal
foundati( n of this Hospital has been established upwards of 300
years, and in its present enlarged state it can receive nearly 600
in-patients.
A meeting of the members of the Sea-bathing Infirmary was
held yesterday at Willis's Rooms, when it appeared, from the
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 about 24 miles in breadth and length
between Bolton, Blackburn, and Burnley, 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
r dairy farms to the very summit of its hills, and worth at least
sixty thousand pounds of annual rental.
At Color, the parish-clergyman calculates that, out of a popu-
lation of 53,000, no less than 13,000 are receiving parish relief;
the Poor-rates have risen from 3s. to 10s. in the pound.
Padiham is in the same state of destitution.
NAVAL AND MIX.XTAICT.
Yesterday the annual distribution of prizes took place at the
Royal Naval School, Camberwell, when several Admirals of
eminence were present. The Report was very flattering.
LAW AND PO LICE.

Frederick Hunt, a letter-carrier, was charged at Bow-street
yesterday, with stealing a letter containing money, and after a
brit f examination, was remanded.
At Union- Hall, Isaac Beamish, an engineer recently arrived
from Rio Janeiro, where he had been in the service of the
Brazilian Government, was committed to take his trial for
inflicting, with a penknife, two serious wounds on Harriet
Wilson, a young woman with whom he had cohabited for some
time. Alr. Hooper, surgeon, in the London-road, said the
wounds were of a dangerous description.

which consists in the knavery of a slave-dealer, who, by means
of nitrate of silver and other chemical admixtures, produces a
disease in tl* black negro, which conveis his skin, to a white.
