The Prefect of the Seine has obtained a vote from the
Municipal Council for the erection of a palace for the
Archhishop of earls on the Quai Napoleon, opposite to
the Hotel de Ville. The plan has been submitted to the
Minister of Public Wiirship, and the execution of it is
to be intrusted to Messrs. Lassus and Violet Leduc, the
architects. The building will harmonise in style with
the church of Notre Dame, and be in accordance with
the design for improving this quarter of the city.

attended by a
crowd, who committed the irregularities which have but
too frequently disgraced this solemnity. The police,
when somewhat irritated by what had taken place, ob-
served that Mr. C. Beales, a young Englishman, about
eighteen Tears of age, the son of a gentleman of great
respectability at Cambridge, was sitting with his cap. on.
The officers took it off, and in attempting to put it into
the hands of the wearer, it fell to the ground. This gave
rise to an altercation which ended in the arrest of Mr.
Beales, and his being brought before the Correctional
Tribunal of the town on the 31st ult. Mr. C. Beale's
defence was, that he entered the church out of curiosity
to see the ceremony, and, so little disposed was he to dis-
turb
it, or commit any offence, that he placed himself near
the door, uncovered, and among a party of the gendarmes
on duty ; but observing that they wore their hats, and
feeling cold in his head, he conceived that he too might
put on his cap. He declared that, if they had told him
civilly to take it off, instead of rudely throwing it un-
warned on the ground, he should have obeyed. The
Court, however, fined him 200 f.
Several Opposition papers in the departments have been
recently given up, in consequence,
it is said, of the Royal
Courts confining the privilege of publishing judicial ad-
vertisements only to the Ministerial journals. A Minis-
terial paper, the Preece of Versailles, has also ceased to
appear.
On the 10th instant the house of the porter at the
powder-magazine of Marseilles was destroyed by an ex-
plosion. It was one storey high, and was completely
knocked to pieces by the force of only six pounds of
powder, which became accidentally ignited within it.
Most fortunately no injury was done to the central maga-
zine, which was quite close at hand, but detached, or
otherwise the consequences might have been more disas-
trous. The wife and daughter of the porter were so
severely injured that their lives are despaired of. It
appears that, contrary to the rule prescribed to him, he
had allowed his wife and daughter to aid him in taking
powder out of the magazine, and that these females were
imprudently making up the powder into packets while
they bad chaufferettes under their feet. Some of the
powder falling upon one of the chaufferettes caused the
explosion.
M. Jules de Joly, architect of the Chamber of Depu-

The Tonnirre steamer which
was sent to Mahon to
effect the salvage of the Brandon, has returned to Tou-

were in the neighbourhood of the place, when the vessel
was wrecked, behaved with great hospitality to our
countrymen. The crew of the Brandon were perfectly
well received on shore.---Conunerce.

The English Funds were good. Consols, however, did
not leave off at the highest point of the day, being

The accounts from the Continent are generally in fa-

to observe that the exchanges there continue on our
side. This is more decidedly the case at Hamburgh,
where the rate for bills on London, dated three months,
has advanced to 13 64, higher than we remember to have
seen it for some time past. As it is probable we shall
want less corn this year from abroad, we may hope to
secure that balance.

SUMMARY OF NEWSI

" Who runs may read."

POZZIGN.

The Courrier Francais states, that Count Pahlen wi,ll
not return to Paris ti resume his functions as Ambassa-
dor to the Court of France. Letters from St. Peters-
burgh leave no doubt upon the Emperor's intentions on
that subject. The Russian Government would merely
retain a Charge d'Affaires at Paris. It is added, that
M. Cassimir Perier (the French Minister at the Russian
Court) finds his position so unpleasant at St. Peters-
burgh that he has requested to be recalled.
The French Government is much displeased with M.
de Salvandy's precipitate departure from Madrid, and
still more with his absurd conduct while there. He him-
self so dreads the ridicule of being pointed at as a diplo-
matic harlequin, that he is said to be quite ill in conse-
quence.
In the Chamber of Peers on Tuesday, the editor of
the Siecle appeared at the bar in conformity with the re-
solution of the Chamber. After having heard the de-
fence of the editor, the President sentenced him to im-
prisonment for one month, and a fine of 10,000 f. This is
indeed sharp practice. Imprisonment for a month and a
tine of 10,000 f. for speaking the truth of the Chamber of
Peers 1 The people of France richly deserve to be made
slaves and wear the garb of felons, if they tolerate such
monstrous abuses of the charter by a conclave of political
apostates so utterly contemptible as the Chamber of Peers!
The Univers contains a letter from Cayenne of the
Ist of November last, announcing that " the proceedings
instituted against the Captain of a. French slave ship,
captured off Bahia in September by the British ship-ot-
war Rose, were progressing with activity. Upwards of
200 letters had been found concealed in the hold, with
orders for bales (meaning children) of 12 years of age."
The Univers expresses astonishment that the Govern-
ment should allow a case of that nature to be tried in a
colony where slavery exists, where the magistrates are
slave-owners, and where the inhabitants daily deplore
their inability to recruit their black labourers."
The investments in the Savings' Banks of Paris, on
the 16th and 17th inst., amounted to 1,014,733 f., and the
sums withdrawn to 581,000 E This excess of lodgments
was, we are told, caused by " the funding of the New-
Year's gifts received by the lower and middle classes."
From Madrid, a letter of the 11 th inst. states that
Count de Salvandy's avant courier was robbed at a short
distance from the city gates by highwaymen, who took
from him the money with which he was provided to pay
the postilions as far as Bayonne. He returned and ap-
prised the Count of his danger, who immediately applied
for, and was provided with, an escort of five hussars.
The Augsburgh Gazette of the 14th inst., announces
the departure of Prince Paul Esterhazy frem Vienna for
London on the 9th inst. The Prince was commissioned
to present a congratulatory address to Queen Vietoria
on the birth of the Prince of Wales.
PUBLIC orxismorr.

The Morning Advertiser has a leading article on the
subject of the insidious encroachments of Puseyism ; in
which, after stating that the Paseyites will be signally
defeated in the approaching contest for the Oxford Pro-
fessorship of Poetry, our Contemporary goes on to say
that " one of their present most cherished designs -is to
overrun the whole of'Scotland with Puseyite, alias Roman
Catholic, principles in their most despotic acceptation.
Of course, they are too deeply versed in the arts of
Jesuitism to do this openly and honestly ; they know
that in that case the Scotch would reject their proposals
with abhorrence. The contemplated Episcopal College
in Perth is one of the means to be employed with the
view of Romanizing Scotland."
The Chronicle is of opinion that Government will do
nothing, as regards an alteration in the Corn-laws ; and
says that the refusal of all concession is supposed to be
mainly attributable to, the Duke—not of Buckingham—
but of Wellington ! " Thus much," adds the Chronicle,
" we may, we think, be sure of, that a fortnight ago the
chances were in favour of a relaxation of the monopoly
of food ; and that now there is no great likelihood of its
being ever seriously attempted by the Government. The
hopes of a relaxation, however, have been so general
and so strong, that much and serious diappointment
will be felt when it is believed that Government means to
do nothing in the matter."
The Herald states that the affair of the Creole may be
reasonably regarded as a step towards the abolition of
slavery in the United States, as it will increase the risk
of the slave trade now carried on along the American
coasts ; and that the success of the mutiny will doubtless
stimulate similar risings.
The Times insists that the lower classes have a great
fancy for aristocratic Government ,; observing that
" though very democratical el their theories, they
are doggedly aristocratical in their habits. They are
jealous of their superiors, but they arc much more jealous
of their equals. They do not much like to be governed
at all ; but if any thing so olous as a Government is
perforce to be endured, it must be one conducted by per-
sons who were born to it."
The Post renews its attack on the question of Corn-
law Repeal, and remarks :-" Let the price of corn be
permanently lowered, and down must come, permanently,
the price of meat. The price of meat being permanently
lowered expensive modes of rearing cattle must be aban-
doned—hence the abandonment of our inferior soils would
be inevitable."
We take the following from the Worcestershire Chro-
nicle—" While we look with the deepest sorrow and
anxiety at the long annals of wretchedness and the con-
comitant catalogue of crime which each succeeding day
serves to develop, we cannot but attribute the greater
part of this misery, and the vast amount of guilt it en-
genders, as flowing primarily from those laws which
cramp the commercial enterprise-of our country, dimi-
nish the demand for our manufactures, by preventing
their being exchanged with foreigners for the produce of
the soil, and, thus crowd the labour market with unem-
ployed workmen.
The York Courant thus remarks on the heartless
conduct of the Tory Government.—" There is a sort of
heartlessness in the Government, seeming to be all alert
to the gay and the festive, whilst a censurable and
almost unaccountable state f apathy is manifested to
the dark part of the picture. Their policy at present
seems to be, to keep the evil in the distance—to throw a
veil over it—and to attempt to conceal the fact 1 But
this will not avail, and if the deaf ear is still turned to
those honest men who give them every information as
to the true state of the case, they may expect to hear
the groan of anguish rising above the noise of rejoicing,
and calling in tones that will not be resisted, for that
succour for which they have a just claim at the hands of
their rulers !"
MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCE.

Distress in Manchester and its vicinity is greatly in
creasing. At Skipton, out of a population of 16,610,
there are 4,038 individuals subsisting on an average of
only 17d. per week a head, and 1,697 on an average of
only 101 d. per week. '
The condition of Wigan is becoming much worse, and
the reduction of wages increasing. Two of the largest
cotton-spinners have given notice of an intention to reduce
them, as also the agent of Lord Belcarras. The colliers
on his Lordship's estate exceed 2,000 in number.
The new Austrian bank-notes are are said to be al-
most too fine and beautiful for bills of credit. The en-
gravings on them, by the principal Viennese artists,
equal the steel-plates of our English Annuals, and in-
crease in beauty in proportion to the sums they represent.
Further examination into the affairs of Messrs. Hop-
kins and Drewett's bankruptcy, at Arundel, has been
adjourned to the 14th of next month ; the total amount
1. .
of debts proved, to the present time, is 32,41865. 10d.
The quantity of sugar brought direct to the port of
Bristol from the West Indies, has been so inadequate to
the demand, that from 2,000 to 3,000 hogsheads have
arrived there from London and Liverpool.
A crowded meeting of the working-men of Leeds was
held on Tuesday, when a resolution was passed, thank-
ing the Short-time Committees of the West Riding of
Yorkshire, and the deputation for their conduct in the
conference with Ministers on the Ten-hours-bill, and
other measures calculated to benefit the working-classes.
A Chartist amendment was moved, censuring the depu-
tation for not pressing on Ministers the subject a the
People's Charter, but negatived.
The best bread at the present moment is dearer in
London than Paris by fourpence, and the fraction of a
farthing, the four-pound loaf; and the second-best three-
pence halfpenny and one-fifth of a farthing.

NAVAL AND MILITARY.
The Provost and Council of Wick have resolved to
erect a lighthouse on the Craighead, Elginshire, and a
beacon on the Covesea Skerries.

The 13th Light Dragoons have been selected to act as
a guard of honour to the King of Prussia.

LAW AND POLICE.

Xn the case of Poole v. Palmer, respecting a claim of
1371. made by the plaintiff for professional services, a
rule had been obtained for a new trial, on the ground
that Lord Abinger had rejected the evidence ten-
dered by the defendant. The plaintiff had been em-
ployed to sell an estate at Norwood ; and, after survey-
ing it and making plans, the defendant refused to pay
the charges, on the plea that he had not signed the do-
cument until after the work had been performed. The
Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff-801. damages.
The action was tried a second time on Wednesday, at nisi
prius, in the City, before Baron Rolfe, when the Jury
gave a similar verdict, with 100/. damages.
At an inquest held before Mr. Wakley on Wednesday,
on a child found in the streets, it was remarked by him,
on a reward being offered for the discovery of the parties
who exposed it, that he regretted to say, in not a single
ease of exposure in which he had held an inquest since
he been in office, had the offenders been found.
At Guildhall, James Duncan, charged with stealing a
gold watch when employed by the Parcels Delivery Corn- .
pany, was brought up for re-examination. The solicitor
for the prosecution not considering thte evidence respect-
ing the watch sufficiently strong, brought a charge for
stealing several almanacs, and having adduced evidence,
the prisoner was fully committed.
Brookes, a well-sinker, Squires, a blacksmith, and Hard-
wick and Attwood, blacksmith apprentices, forming four
of a most desperate gang of burglars who have for some
months past infested the neighbourhood of Worcester,
were on Tuesday last committed to take their trial on
two clear cases of robbery and burglary before the War-
wickshire Magistrates.
