ro REIGN.

The Duke de Bourdeaux and the Duchess d'Angoulerne
arrived at Trieste on the 16th instant. The Duchess was
to take passage in the next steam-packet for Ancona, and to
proceed thence to Loretto, to visit the santa casa of the
Holy Virgin.
_ _

We learn by a letter of the 14th inst., from Christiana, in
Norway, that the Prince Royal of Sweden, who had been
suffering from a violent cold, was completely recovered. On
the 15th the King, Queen, and family were to leave for
Stockholm ; but his Majesty was expected to return in the
autumn to close the Storthing.
The Minister of Marine had forwarded orders to the com-
mander of the French naval station at Bourbon, to send one
of the vessels under his command to Bussora, to take on
board the sculptured monuments lately discovered at
Nineveh by Messrs. Botta and Flandin. Those remains had
been removed on rafts as far as Bagdad, and thence to
Bussora. A hall in the Palace of the Louvre is now fitting
up for their reception.

The Constitutionnel says that M. Guizot has got leave of
absence for a month, that he may have the repose necessary
for the recovery of his health, and that M. Duchatel will in
the meantime carry on the business of the foreign department.
Friday is fixed on for the debate on the question of the
Jesuits. M. Carn6, Berryer, and Lamartine have already
inscribed their names as intending to speak on one side ; and
M. 'Pliers, Barrot, and Dupin on the other.
The Prefect of Police bas published a new ordonnance conr
cerning dogs running loose in the streets of Paris. It has
annexed to it recommendations from the Board of Health as
to the treatment of bites from dogs. The first measures to be
taken are to press the wound strongly, to force out the
poison, to cauterise it, or at least wash it well with alcaline
water, and afterwards without loss of time to call in the aid
of a medical man.
The Constitutionnel mentions the arrival at Paris of two
Commissioners from Hayti, whose mission is connected with
the financial questions long pending between that State and
France.

A letter from Lucerne of the 23d inst., in the New Zurich
Gazette, says:—"Yesterday the council of war condemned
several persons who, when summoned to take up arms, had
not repaired to their posts, but had joined the expedition of
the free corps. The Court condemned the greater part to
five years' imprisonment."
Vie following is taken from L'Afrique :—" Abd-el-Kader
is still on the Morocco territory. The Emperor has really
ordered him to quit his states, but the answer of the Emir
was, that the soil belonged to God, and that he had as much
right as the Emperor to remain upon it."
LAW AND POLICE.

Alfred Ashton aad another, who had been committed by a
magistrate of the county of Huntingdon to the county gaol
for refusing to enter into recognizances to keep the peace,
were brought up by habeas corpus in the Court of Queen's
Bench, and discharged.

At Guildhall, a fellow named Jackson was committed for
picking pockets at the execution.
At Marylebone, James Goff was placed at the bar before
Mr. itawlinson, charged with having stolen a copper, the
property of r. Cheston, landlord of the Rose of Nor-
mandy, High-street, and fully committed.
Richard Green, described as a clerk, and living with his
father in East-street, Red Lion-square, was charged at Bow-
street, with robbing his employers, Messrs. Pickering and
Co., solicitors, of No. 4, Stone-buildings, Lincoln's Inn, of
upwards of 181. in notes, gold, and silver. The case was
clearly proved, but the prisoner was remanded for a week, in
order that the evidence might be completed.
Mr. Benjamin Myer. 3, a tailor and woollen-draper of Ox-
ford-street, appeared at Lambeth, to answer a charge of
furious driving, and running over George Jones, a child of
five years of age. After commenting severely on the fact
that the defendant, after having run over the child, had
driven on furiously for the purpose of endeavouring to avoid
detection, inflicted on him the highest penalty the law al-
lowed, viz., forty shillings, in addition to the expenses of the
witnesses. This he said was a very inadequate punishment
for the offence.

At the Thames police-court Thomas Thompson, aged 29,
who has been long known to the police as one of the most
expert cracksmen in the metropolis, was on remand, charged
with burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-
house of Mr. William Findlay, a revenue-officer, of No. 11,
Catherine-street, Poplar, and stealing property to the
amount of 201. therefrom, and after further evidence he was
committed for trial.
COURT—PASEIIONABLE.

On Monday one of the most splendid balls of the season was
given by the Viscountess Palmerston at the Noble Lord's
residence on Carlton Terrace. There were present the Duke
and Duchess of Cambridge, the Grand Duchess Stephanie of
Baden, the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of
Mecklenburgh Strelitz, Prince Ernest of Hesse Phillipsthal,
Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Duke de Broglie
all the foreign Ambassadors, and nearly 400 other persons
of rank and fashion.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne's • dinner
party, at Lansdowne House, was given to a party of eighteen,
including the Duke de Broglie, and Viscountand Viscountess
Leveson.

The Countess of Longford had an elegant ball also on Monday
night, at her Ladyship's mansion in Bruton-street. It was
expressly for the introduction of her Ladyship's daughter,
Lady Georgiana Pakenham to society. The Duke of Cam-
bridge honoured the Countess by attending the ball, and
about 300 of the nobility were likewise present.
The Earl and Countess of Wilton gave a princely enter-
tainment, at their mansion in Grosvenor-square, when they
were honoured with the company of the Duke and Duchess
of Cambridge, the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand
Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, and Prince George of
Cambridge. The Royal Prince received the cordial congra-
tulations of the entire party on that Prince's return from
Corfu.

Lord Frederick Fitclarence, who left Etal House on the
24th instant, has repaired to Buxton for a short sojourn.
Sir Edward and Lady Kerrison have arrived at their resi-
dence in Great Stanhope-street, from Brighton.
The Marchioness of Londonderry intends to give a large
party on Tuesday, the 27th of May.
The Marchioness of Normanby has left the Clarendon
Hotel for Mulgrave Castle, near Whitby, Yorkshire.
The .Earl and Countess of Lisburne have arrived in town.
The Earl of Glasgow has left town to attend the Newmar-
ket Spring Meeting.
Lord and Lady Cottenham and the Hon. Misses Pepys
have arrived at their new residence in Park-lane.

MISCELLANEOUS.
The centemplated retirement and promotion of naval
officers, of which we have heard so much, will take place
probably about August next. The number it will include,
and the details of the measure, are not yet determined.
Mr. Sturge has withdrawn from the British and Foreign
School Society because it has accepted pecuniary assistance
from the Government.

FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, APRIL 24.—The Mons Gazette says, " We
have just learned that Mr. George Rinnes, the engineer
to the Anglo-Belgian Company formed at London by
the name of ' Company of the Railway of the Dendre
and of the Canal from Jemappes to Alost,' arrived on
Wednesday morning at Mons, and immediately pro-
ceeded to the line, accompanied by Mr. Dubois Nihon!,
the author of the plan, and by Messrs. Tercelin, Sigart,
and Brunneau, Directors of the Company. We are as-
sured that this able engineer will also visit our coal
basin. It seems that the project of this canal will be
shortly carried into effect."
The following is the final result of the discussions of
the Central Section of the Chamber of Representatives,
appointed to examine the project of law relative to the
duty on corn.
No change is proposed with respect to barley, rye, and
oats. As for wheat, when the average prices are
between 15 and 20f. per hectolitre, the duty will be 37f.
50c. for the 1,000 kilogrammes (equal to 12i hectolitres).
When the prices are from 20f. to 22f. the import duty
will be reduced to 12f. 50c. When the prices are from
22f. to 24f. the duty will be only 3f. The number of
markets for delivering the average will be increased to
22; the averages will be taken once in a fortnight.
TRIESTZ, APRIL 17.—The Duke of Bordeaux and the
Duchess of Angouleme arrived here yesterday. The
Duchess proceeded in the steamer to Ancona, whence
she means to go to Loretto. About the middle of next
month the whole of the French corps will leave Goritz
it is said, for ever.

One of the American line of packet-ships, the
Wellington, left the St. katherine Docks yesterday for New York,
with a large number of passengers, including several emigrants to
the United States from the agricultural districts, and a fair cargo of
British manufactured goods, &c. The change of wind from the
adverse quarter, in which it was so long almost stationary, has had
the effect of bringing a large number of vessels of all descriptions
and from every part of the globe into the port, which had been de.
tained in the channel, and the docks and other places of commerce
on the shores of the river now present a very bustling appearance,
and full employ has been given to the large body of labourers con.
netted with these establishments who were deprived of work for a
very considerable period, and suffered a proportionate degree of
privation in consequence.

THE BUDE LIGHTS IN rRAFALGAR-SQUARE.--The
massive bronze lamps, constructed at Stevens and Son's, Darlington
Works, Southwark, under the direction of Mr. Barry, are corn.
pleted, and will be erected without delay. They are four_ in num.
ber ; the two at the southern angles to be mounted on granite
pillars; the others, which are to be placed on the terrace, are
wholly of gun metal. They are all plain and substantial, but the
lamps by which they are to be crowned are deserving of notice.
These are of great magnitude and ponderous weight; the glass
alone in them amounting to about 12 cwt. They are octagonal in
shape, the centre cqmprising square plates of cut flint-glass of un.
usual clearness and solidity, the thickness within the bevel amount.
ing to an inch ; and the crown and* base consisting each of sixteen
triangular pieces of the same substance and density. The refrac.
tion of light occasioned by these numerous varieties of surface, all
highly polished, is likely to occasion a very brilliant effect; and in
the event of another lamp being added, as proposed, to be placed
between the fountains, some very novel appearances may perhaps
be obtained, especially if the focus of either of the prisms should
fall on the jets of water.

LIEUT.-COL. CAMERON'S ADVENTURES.—Georgia
and Circassia are the true countries of beauty and ro-
mance, and from being also the natural soil of " the
true Caucasian variety " of our species, so enthusiasti-
cally referred to by the author of " oningsby," they
may be said to possess attractions that should secure for
any new work respecting them a most welcome recep-
tion. We are not therefore surprised at the interest ex-
cited by the volumes now published, under the title of
"Adventures in Georgia, Circassia, and Russia," by
Lieutenant-Colonel G. Poulett Cameron. A book of
personal adventure is pretty sure to form pleasant read-
ing, but a narrative -of adventure amongst the gallant
Circas inns, the handsome Georgians. and amongst the
(':_obbilck. of tiao moat of Course 60 of
an extremely entertaining character. There can be little
question of the popularity of such a production.

AMERICAN NEWS.
TEXAS.

The following intelligence from that quarter, received
at New Orleans, is dated Galveston. March 29 :
" Just bet' .re the New York left Galveston, a British
sloop-of •war,-the Electric, entered that port, bearing dis
patches to Captain Elliott, British Envoy, from his Go-
vernment. It was said that this vessel had a vast amount
of money on board, and that the dispatches contained
instructioes to Captain Elliott to offer to guarantee the
national indepemlence of Texas, provided the annexation
resolutions are rejected. It was further reported, that
the French Government had also offered the same
guarantee on the same conditions. Private advices as-
sure us, that when these propositions were made known
in Galveston, the people snapped their fingers, saying,
'The foreigners were too late.' Captain Elliott set out
for the capital immediately after receiving his dispatches.
M. Saligny, the French Charge, was already there. A
letter from Galveston says, that rumours were afloat as
to the purport of the dispatches, to the effect that Great
Britain offers to guarantee the independence of Texas,
and to make a loan ta the Republic of five millions ster-
ling, at a low rate of interest, for no other consideration
than some commercial advantages. Immediately on the
receipt of the passage of the Annexation Bill by Con-
gress, a meeting of the citizens of Galveston was held,
General Meinuan Hunt presiding, at which the most en-
thusiastic resolutions in favour of the measure were
adopted. The various public men of the United States
who have urgidd it are highly eulogized by name, and
the President of Texas is urged to calla special session
of Congress, to ascertain the will of the people con-
cerning the proposal. The resolutions were passed
unanimously." . .
