EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, APRIL 6.—The last ten days have been
devoid of any political novelty, the Paella remaining still in
the Delta.

The following proclamation was published on the 30th ult. :
" The public is desired to take note of the following para-
graph of a letter addressed to the undersigned by Koster Ef-
fendi, second secretary and intcrpre:er of his Highness the
Viceroy, on date of 2d Soler, 12.58 (March 14, 1842).
" His Highness the Viceroy enchaxges your 'Excellency to
repeat to the merchants what he himself has already, on inure
than one occasion, told them verbally, that no attention will be
paid, nor any note taken of any complaints or protests which
might in future be made fur the recovery of disbursements
made to account of purchases of produce, if such produce shall
nut have been first duly weighed or measured.
(Signed) . "BOGHOS JOUSSOUFF.
Alexandria, March 30, 1812."
This appears, at first bigot, a startling proposition, that in
commercial relations with the natives, under the "free trade"
system, no redress for claims against them will be redressed in
the Turkish tribunals ; but, on the other hand, must be taken
into consideration the peculiar tenure on which the Arab holds
his lands, and their produce. The Pacha all along has warned
Europeans, that, from the first proposal of establishing a free
trade, they must not make advances to the Arab.. The ambi-
guous term, " duly weighed and measured," means, I think,
merely that they must get positive possession of the produce
they buy before they pay fur it, or make any payment to ac-
count of it.

UNPRECEDENTED SALE.

rir HE failures have been so numerous the last
-3- months in the Linen trade, that the Assignees of the
estate of JAMES FERGUSON arid CO., Bankrupts, Linen
Merchants, of Coleman-street-buildings, put up the Stock for
sale three separate times, at the Sale Rooms, Commercial-lane,
wilhout a single uffer.
BROOKS and CO. having been informed of the circum-
s'ances, waited on 'Mr. Stewart, of Ironmonger-lane, the Soli-
citor, and offered to dispose of the Stock to the Public in six
weeks, at such reduction as is necessary to turn it into cash
immediately,
Brooks and Co., contrary to the first intention, have deter-
mined to disrose of it to private families, in parcels of five to
twenty pounds worth, at an unheard-of reduction.

LICHFIELD.

The labours. of the Committee on the Lichfield peti-
tion terminated yesterday, by a decision by which tho
sitting Member retains his seat. '

This Committee had a termination put to its proceed-
ings yesterday, by the petitioner withdrawing from
the contest.
The Southampton is the only Committee now sitting.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER.—We regret to state that the market
yesterday, instead of feeling the influence of the activity
which is understood to prevail in the metropolis, was de-
cidedly worse than that of the preceding week. The
demand for yarn was limited, and sales were made at a
decline in many cases of id. to -id. per pound
on previous rates. Goods were in very limited de-
mand, and at gradlially declining prices. As a neces-
sary consequence of the depressed state of the goods
market, the hand-loom weavers are getting rapidly out
of work ; and there have been some large meetings of
the unemployed in the neighbourhood o? Burnley, for
the purpose of considering what steps can be taken to
improve their condition. One of these took place on
Henfield, near Accrington, on Sunday morning last.
hitherto the conduct of the parties assembling has been
perfectly peaceable, and we do not learn that they en-
tertain the slightest feeling of animosity towards their
employers.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, APRIL 113.—The
flannel market is weekly growing worse, and there ap-
pears no prospect of any change for the better. There
has scarcely been any business done to-day at any price.
There has been an extremely still wool market, and
manufacturers are unwilling to buy while prices con-
tinue on the decline.

HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, APRIL 26.—The anxious
tradesman has again been disappointed. A hope was
indulged, that the threatened change in the American
tptriff would have caused some extensive speculations,
and given an impetus to exports that has been wanting
so long ; but unfortunately there was little if any im-
provement to-day. Few heavy sales were made ; and,
what is remarkable, exceedingly little was purchased for
exportation ; and, without a foreign trade, it is clear
the home trade cannot furnish employment in any thing.
like proportion to the ample means at command. Prices
are very nominal. •

THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis),
POSTA GE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery
appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex-
elusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist
Ivan the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver
under the guises of Albata Plate," •` Berlin Silver," &e.
ace., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an
eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material
that acids do not affect it ; it is now so well known and
appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its
uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver,
tan only he had at our warehouses. It is the same through-
out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles
that are in silver, from which it can only be told by reference
to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's

41 and 42, Barbican, aided by a person of science in the amal-
gation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness
—with its perfect sweetness in use—undergoing. as it does, a
chem'cal process, by which all that is osseous in mixedmetals is
entirely extracted—resist ng all acids, may be cleaned as silver,
and is manufactured into every article for the Table and Side-
board.

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal
is peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from
Gold, than his metal is from all others ; on its intrinsic merits
alone he wishes it to be tested. And from the daily increasing
culogiums he receives, he is convinced th:lt nothing can prevent
its becoming an article of universul wear.

1806 he regenerated, on a footing. of solid magnifi-
cence, the Hams, or breeding establishments of the
old monarchy in all their pristine splendour ; but he
soon pounced upon the German horses, and brought
home with him all that was worth having in Meeklen-
, burgh, Hesse, and Baden.
Louis XVIII,
notwithstanding his embarrass-
ments, . founded several -prizes. In 1819 we find
Latitat, belonging
,to the Comte de Narbonne—in
1820, M. Reinssec s mare Enigone --in 1823, cele-
brated by the good running of Nell, the first tho-
rough-bred mare 'foaled in France—and in 1824
Lucy belonged to the Duc d'Escar3. France owes
this improvement in her breed of horses principally
.to the Due de Guiche, who so ably superintended
these breeding establishments, and under his auspices
Truffle, Milton, Taneredi, Rowiston, and Rainbow,
were destined to regenerate the bastardised equine
race of France, and old Cremieux brought over Tan-
den, the ci derant innlturn in p. arra, whose singular
adventure at Ascot Must be ever fresh in the recollec-
tion of all sporting men.
Charles X. was too fond of shooting to care much
about horse-racing. The Due de Guiche, however.
induced him to give some prizes, and in 1827, Vit-
toria, by Milton, out of Geane, added lustre to the
sporting annals of his reign. In 1828, M. Delaroque,
a Normandy breeder, ran his famous Zephyr, by
D. I. 0., out of Hebe, and in 1829 appeared M. de
Bastide's mare Vesta. In September, 1826, Lord
Henry Seymour made his debut upon the I'l'ench
turf. He paid forfeit to the Lady of the Lake for
his horse Felix. His successes with Frank and An-
nette has amply repaid him for his ill-omened com-
mencement.

At the change of dynasty in 1830 Louis Phillippe
appointed M. de Strada to succeed M. de Guiche, hut
the Republican nominee knew just about as much of
horse-flesh as a tailor, and in a short time undid all the
good that the Duke had prepared for him. The whole
of his exploits consisted in the purchase of Nimrod, a
great floundering coach-horse, which he bought in
England for 4001., and ultimately sold in France for
400 f. (161.)

Lotiis Phillippe at last got rid of M. de Strada, and
presented the Haras to the Due d'Orleans, who has ap-
pointed M. de Cambis to be Director. This gentle-
man, though not so good a judge as the Duc de
Guiche, is very superior to his predecessor. Under his
auspices the naras has regained its lost splendour, and
now contains within its precints Vittoria, Eva, Sweet-
lips, Margarita, Jenny Vertpre, Chevrail, and Cama-
rilla. The Due d'Orleans takes great interest in the
rise and'progress of the establishment, and frequently
passes several hours during the week in inspecting hie
young proteges.

NATIONAL CONVENTION,

The Convention met yesterday morning at nine o'clock.
Mr. Do NCAN took the chair.
Several letters were ?wail from different parts of the country,
expressive of confidence in the Convention.

.1 resolution was proposed to draw up an address to the
working classes, advising them to desist from any outbreak.
Mr. BEESLEY thought that the people ought, in the present
distress, to be left to their own discretion. They had been
addressed too often, for they found that no good resulted.
The resolution was however carried by a large majority.
The Convention adjourned till to-morrow.

The Committee met yesterday morning at eleven. It
was expected that Mr. Fleming would have attended to
have replied to the question which he declined answer-

had been in attendance, but had left. Thu Committee,
therefore, proceeded to take the evidence of Mr. Bing-
ham Baring and other witnesses, and proceeded with
the examination up to four o'clock.

eIOSMETICS.—Too much caution cannot be
used by Ladies in the adoption of these aids to beauty,
many of them b!in; very injurious in their ultimate effects.
To point out an innocent and efficacious one, is therefore to
render an acceptable service to the fair sex. GODFREY'S
EXTRACT OF ELDER FLOWERS has acquired great
celebrity, as well for its efficacy as for pleasure in its applica-
tion. It communicates a refreshing coolness and softness to
the skin, and completely removes Tan, Pimples, and Cutaneous
Eruptions, giving to the Complexion a clear and healthful
appearance not to be otherwise obtained.
To be had of any respectable Perfumer or Medicine Vendor

The Chronique tie Courtrai gives the particulars of a dread-
ful malicious attempt on a night train on the railway :—" The
train for conveying sand and other things for the works, which
is obliged to run by night, was thrown off the rails half a league
from Courtrai, by three billets of wood laid across the rails,
and strongly fastened by nails. As soon as the tenders came
to these billets they got off the rails, the engine was overturned,
and the following waggons ran against each other, and the
foremost was dashed to pieces. No serious accident took place
—it is almost a miracle that the first waggon, full of workmen,
which was close behind the engine resisted the shock ; some of
the workmen were but slightly hurt. It is probable that if the
locomotive had been at the head followed by the tender, instead
of being preceded by them, its weight might have oveovercomethe obstacle. We may conceive how much greater the mischief
would have been if the train had been pistshed and not drawn."

STRAWBERRY ttILL.

On Monday was sold the portion of Horace Walpole's books,
having reference to the classes of British and Foreign topo-
graph), architecture, antiquities, coins, gems, and ancient
sculpture'. The whole obtained good price., and produted
300/. The most valuable work of the day sold was—

1,028. Gemmarum Antiquarum delecius ; ex prrestantiori-
bus destimptus, qua: in llact)listliecis Duels Marlburiensis con-
serrantur, 1781-90, folio, two vols., in morocco. 591. 6s. 6d.
Lille.

flee history of this celebrated work, generally designated the
" Maiihorough Gems," is not generally known ; and the fol-
lowing is partly drawn from Lord Orford's autograph note.
" Cabinet of Gems," formerly belonging to Lady Betty Ger-
maine, and to William Ponsonby, second Earl of Besborough,
formed the collection of George Spencer, third Duke of Marl-
bin ough, and from him were called the Marlborough Gems.
Lady Betty Germaine's cabinet was part of the collection of
Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel, the distinguished virtuoso,
in the time of Charles I. ; from him the gems descended to his
great-grandson, Henry Howard, Duke of Norfolk ; his Duchess,
Lady Mary Al ordaunt, being divorced from him, she carried off
all the valuables of the Duke's great ancestor, and they became
the property of Sir John Germaine, her second husband ; at
his death he bequeathed the gems and other articles of vertu to
his second wife, Lady Elizabeth, sister of the Earl of Berkeley.
who survived her husband many years. Lady Betty Germaine,
the donor to Horace Walpole of Anna Bullin's clock, now the
property of her present Majesty, on the marriage of her great-
niece, Mary Beauclere, daughter of Lord Vere Beauelere, to
Lord Charles Spencer, brother to the Duke of Marlborough,
g,ve her the cabinet cf the Arundel gems for Lord Charles,
her husband, to present to the Duke. Lady Betty Germaine
hail valued those gems, cameos, and intaglios at 7,0001.; and
the Cupid and Pysche, the finest antique intaglio extant in
Europe, at 500/. The acquisition of such a cabinet by the
Duke of Marlborough caused him to be desirous of obtaining
also Lord Besborough's, of which there is a printed catalogue
drawn up by Laurence Watter. The Besborough gems were
purchased for 5,0001., and from these conjointly drawings were
made by Cipriani, and engravings by Bartolozzi.
No hart of this information has been hitherto made known to
the public; as regards the subsequent history of the book full
particulars are given in the " Bibliographical Catalogue of
Books Privately Printed," compiled by Mr. John Martin,
librarian to his Grace the Duke of Bedford, at Woburn.

THE TARIFF.

The SECRETARY, by direction of the Chairman,
then read a letter from Mr. W. B. Baring, of the
Board of Control, inch sing a communication from Mr.
M'Gregor, in reply to a communication addressed by
the Court of Directors to Lord Fitzgerald, on the suc-
ject of the tariff. In this communication, after stating
the reasons which had induced the Government to adopt
the various alterations proposed to be made in the duties
on Indian produce by the new tariff, Mr. M‘Gregor
proceeded, on the part of the Board of Trade, to repu-
diate the principle laid down by. the Directors of the
East India Company, that the duties impoveid on Indian
manufactures imported into the United Kingdom should
always be the same as the duty imposed upon British ma-
nufactures of a similar nature by the East India Company
on their importation into India, inasmuch as, if such a
principle were acted on with regard to all our colonies,
the greatest possible injury would result to the revenue.
With regard to the desire expressed by the Court of Di-
rectors, that Mysore should, for all commercial pur-
poses, be considered as an integral part of the British
dominions, Mr. M‘Gregor stated that our reciprocity
treaties with foreign cou,:tries, formed an insuperable
bar to the adoption of such a suggestion.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH• STREET.
(T IS DAY.)
Labanti Frondi, an Italian, was placed at the bar, charged
with assaulting Le Conti Graziana, of No. 15, SouthMoulton-
str, et.
The complainant, who is likewise a native of Italy, stated
that the prisoner was one of a gang of five or six Italians, who
for two or three years past had solely subsisted in London by
begging or extorting money by menaces from their fellow.
countrymen, who might be residing in or visiting the me-
tropolis. About three months ago he came to complainant's
house and solicited alms, and on a 6d. being girt n to him he
threw it down with indignation, saying that he would not con-
descend to accept such a triflle. Yesterday complainant called
on a friend of his, Signor Ronconi, one of the singers at the
Italian Opera House. and while there the prisoner gained ad-
mission to the house, and refused to leave it until he was re-
lieve:l, and behaved with such violence that he tore Madame
Ronconi's dress, as she was attempting to pass by him to go
into the street. Complainant mentioned the prisoner's cha-
racter to Signor Ronconi, but, notwithstanding he was
relieved with a few shillings, he however went away
grumbling, at the smallness of the amount. About five
o'clock yesterday afternoon, as complainant was walking do en
Regent-street he again met with the prisoner, who commenced
abusit g him in a most violent manner, and at length seized him
by the collar, and attempted to cies/. with him, intending, no
doubt, to stab him, but he beat him off with his stick, and on a
policeman coming up, gave him into custody.
The prisoner denied having in any way assaulted the Conti.
Sir. Ala LT BY (to the complainant)—Do you wish
to press the charge against the prisoner? Complainant—Oh
' certainly, I do; lam in danger ; he may stab me. If the
law does not protect me 1 must protect myself, and kill
the man when he comes upon me.
Was, the gaoler, said the prisoner was a very desperate
cl.at acter. About twelve months ago he was charged with
annoying and endeavouring to extract money from Signor
Rubini, of the Italian Opera House.
The Signor stated thatilor upwards of twelve months he had
never gone abroad but under the fear of as-assination from the
prisoner.
He was ordered to pay a flee of 10s., or be imprisoned for
I ten days.
