SERVANTS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—Last night
a public meeting of the friends and subscribers of this Insti-
tution was held in All Saints National School-rooms, Mor-
timer-market, Tottenham-court-road ; the Rev. H. Hughes,
111. A., in the chair. The chairman stated that the object of
the institution,which was in its infancy, was to prevent do-
mestic servants from becoming inmates of the workhouse in
old age and bad health, by raising a fund of 10,0001. towards
the building of 40 alms-houses within five. miles of London,
through subscriptions of one shilling and upwards, for the
reception of domestic servants of both sexes, without refe-
rence to religious views—character and necessity being the
only qualifications of a claimant. He stated that the plan
originated with domestic servants, and that the nobility and
gentry gave it their cordial support. Other gentlemen ad-
dressed the meeting, which, after the election of officers for
the ensuing year, broke up.
CONFLICT BETWEEK SMUGGLERS AND CUSTOMS
OFFICERB.—A letter from St. Jean de Pied de Porte, of the
7th, says, "On Wednesday last some goods were sent from
the Aldudee in charge of two bands of men, one Spanish, the
other French, who marched separately but in concert, pre-
ceded by four men, who acted as guides, and who had strict
orders to abandon the packages if they met any p-
interru
tions on the road. The bands had reacked the midst of the
great forest which separates the villages of Eugni from
Elizondo, in the Beaten, and the guides had just crossed a
torrent when four Spanish carabineros started from an am-
bush, and cried ' Halt!' The smugglers immediately threw
down their loads, recrossed the torrent, and scrambled up the
steep bank on the right shore; the donaniers seeing them
escaping fired, and one of the guides, a fine young man, only
twenty-two, fell dead, a ball having pierced him through the
heart. The officers then pieked up the packages and were
ascending the left bank, to proceed into the interior, when
they were surrounded by both bands, who, exasperated by
the loss of their comrade, overpowered them, and so cruelly
beat them, that it is said three are since dead. The Spanish
smugglers were by no means the least enraged against the
officers of their own nation."
A NEW OREGON CLAIMANT.—It appears that the
Emperor of Russia is in the field as a claimant for the dis-
puted Oregon territory. He maintains that his possessions
descend to 54 degrees 40 minutes. We cannot learn the
ground of his Imperial Majesty's claim, but the following
official document has been issued :—" Department ef State,
Washington, September 26.—The Russian Minister at Wash-
ington has informed the Secretary of State that the Imperial
Government, desirous of affording efficient protection of the
Russian territories in North America against the infractions
of foreign vessels, has authorised cruisers to be established for
this purpose along the coast by the Russian American Com-
pany. It is therefore recommended to American vessels to be
careful not to freqsent the interior seas, gulfs, harbours, and
creeks upon that coast at any point north of the latitude of
64 degreoa 40 aututts."...,Tortel abbe.
