to set out for Spain on the 26th. The report that the
Government of Algiers had sanctioned the duel between
Generals BOURJOLLY and BOURGEN has been contra-
dicted ; the duel had not taken place. It would appear
by the following extract of a letter from Algiers, pub-
lished in the Pre.cse, that the French have experienced
a severe check from the Arabs. The letter is dated
Miliaria, 9th Aug.:—
" The Arabs have again revolted at Orleansville, four days'
march from here, which has caused the Governor to leave some
infantry with us in observation. Another expedition is to be
undertaken in that direction. In the north the tribes of Beugia
have risen against the Agha named by France. The a hole of
the garrison of Algiers has been ordered out, and in four days
25.000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry were brought together. We
have been cruelly ill-treated. The first battalion cif Zouaves
have been massacred. The Ist regiment of African Chasseurs
and a squadron of Spahis have been drowned. On the same
day two field officers and eleven others expired. As to the
number of soldiers, we have not yet ascertained it exactly, but,
according to the reports in circulation, we have lost in killed
and wounded, drowned, or overcome by heat, 2,700 men. At
present we are at 108 degrees of Fahrenheit at one o'clock in
the day."
The Presse of Friday has an article on the recent
ukase imposing additional duties on foreign vessels en-
tering Russian parts, which it considers as a measure of
reprisal directed against France, the Custom-law of last
session imposing an additional duty on tallow and lin-
seed. The Commerce combats this opinion, and contends
that Russia has more to lose than gain by entering into
a war of tariffs with France. That as a heavier duty
has been imposed on sesame, which is not a Russian pro-
duction, that on linseed Russia has no right to complain.
This additional duty on tallow and seeds was imposed cs
a protection to the French agriculturists who cultivate
colza and other oil-producing seeds. The following, ac•
cording to the Prcsse, are the penalties which France
will have to pay for the protection of the growers of
colza :-
4. By this means our navigation as well as our produce are
exclude d. The French merchant-navy will lose about 20,000
tons, which comprised at teat 100 vessels. The silk trade will
also suffer, since its exports to Russia amounted to between
3,000,000 f. and 4,000,0c0f. The agriculture of the South
will likewise be aggrieved, for its wines figure in the returns of
French imports into Russia, by the Baltic, for about two mil-
lions. The measure, decreed at St. Prtersburgh, appears at
first to be general, and to apply to all countries. But it is to
be remarked that the fifth article excepts the vessels and pro•
ducts of the most favoured nations, as well as those which have
concluded special treaties with Rersia. England is placed in
the last category. She will not, aecordingly, be comprised in
the proscription, and if that proscription lasts, our neighbours
will not fail to supplant us in the Russian markets."
But, after all, the colza growers will not derive any
advantage from this protection. The crop of colza has
failed to such an extent that the merchants will be
obliged to import linseed from Russia, even at the pre-
sent heavy duty, and the only consequence of this pro-
tection will be that the consumers of oil will have to pay
three times what they ought for the oil which they con-
sume, while no single industrial interest of France,
trading, commercial, manufacturing, agricultural, or
colza-growing, will derive one tittle of advantage. There
never was a more pregnant instance of the suicidal cha-
racter of the policy of protection than this history of the
protected colza•growers cf France. It is a perfect epi-
tome of the whole question as between the free traders
and the protectionists.

M. PEPIN LEIIALLEUR, president of one of the
northern railroad companies, was summoned on Friday
before the Tribunal of Commerce by several share-
holders, opposed to the projected fusion between that
company and that presided over by Baron DE Roms-
CHILD. The tribunal decided that the cause should be
called on or. Monday (to-day).
There appeared in the journals of Saturday a letter
from M. PEPIN LERALLEUR, stating that, "in conse
quence of the law proceedings rashly commenced against
the Directors of the Company for the Northern Railroad,
bearing his name, they find themselves under the neces-
sity of postponing the notice which they proposed giving
to their shareholders, to inform them of the period at
which they could offer them either the participation to
which they were entitled, according to the arrangements
entered into for their interest, or the integral repayment
of the amount of their subscription."
The Journal des Debats contains a notice, inserted at
the request of the united companies of Messrs. DECAIN
and LEBEUF, informing the public that they were in
possession of the capital necessary for the construction
of the Northern Railroad, and the line from Fanapoux
to Hazebrouck ; that all the formalities required by the
law had been fulfilled ; that all the documents demanded
by the competent Ministries were prepared, and that
the company was now in a condition to bid for the con •
cession of the two lines. The concession is to be made
on the 9th September.

EMEUTE IN MADRID.
(From the Second Edition of the Times.)
The Journal des Debuts ofyesterday publishes the following
intelligence from Madrid of the 19th inst., received on Satur-
day by the French Governpent :
" The Minister of Finance having refused to accede to the
wishes of the merchants of Madrid, who had demanded some
modification in the new tributary system, a great agitation
ensued ; numerous groups assembled in the streets
and public squares; all the shops were immediately
closed, and the authorities were obliged to call out the
troops of the garrison. Several charges of cavalry and
a discharge of musketry had been necessary to disperse the
crowd. Two persons were said to have been killed, and two
aficers and a sergeant had been dangerously wounded.
" When the courier left Madrid the entire garrison was under
arms, and all the military posts had been doubled. Consider-
able reinforcements had arrived from Guadalajara and Cuenca
and the Captain-General bad been vested with extraordinary
powers by the Ministers present in Madrid. He was even
authorised to declare that capital in a state of siege, should
circumstances require it. The city was tranquil, although
still slightly agitated. The political Chief had published a
most energetic proclamation, and ordered the shops to he re-
opened under the severest penalties. Several shopkeepers
who disobeyed the order had been arrested."

BODY OF A GENTLEMAN FOUND IN THE THAMES.
—On Sunday, at noon, the body of a gentleman, between thirty
and forty years of age, was found floating in the River Thames
off Battle-bridge Stairs. The decesed was attired in a black
new satin waistcoat, black trowsers, and boots, linen not
marked, no hat or coat on, in his trowsers pockets were found
245. in silver, a handsome silver watch, double ease, maker's
name Flint, Oxford. street, number 23,691. The deceased

had been but a short period in the water. It was removed to
St. Olave's workhouse to await a coroner's inquest.
ACCIDENT TO AN INSPECTOR OF POLICE.—On
Thursday night, an accident occurred to Mr. Turner, the
inspector of the Richmond section of the D division of police,
which will probably
close his career as a public officer. By
some oversight, only one girth had been attached to the saddle
of his horse, and after he had proceeded two or three miles of
his rounds, a policeman noticed that that was giving way. The
inspector desired the constable to remove it, and the latter not
noticing the absence of the other girth, did as he was desired.
Mr. Turner then started off, and after traversing nearly the
whole of the district, was returning homewards along the
Mortlake-road, where, meeting Sergeant Finlayson, he was
turning round to speak with him, when the saddle rolled round,
and the inspector, who. is a very heavy man, fell with great
force to the ground. On assistance being rendered, it was dis-
covered that he had broken his collar-bone, and fractured
three of his ribs, besides receiving other injuries. Hewes con-
veyed home, but his recovery is considered doubtful. Inspector
Turner is upwards of 60 years of age, and has been attached to
the force from its commencement.
ALARMING FIRE AT THE WFST-END.—Yesterday
morning about one, the inhabitants of Montague-street and
Russell-square were alarmed by loud cries of " Fire," which
proved to proceed from the stables of Mr. Cryer, job-master,
lontague-mews. In a short space of time the dames shot up

IMPORTATION or DUTCH CATTLE, &C.—lt iS now
well known that the importation of cattle and provisions
from Holland and other places on the Continent takes place
weekly and almost daily by the numerous vessels trading
fr m and to London to a very great extent. The cattle
brought over, and particularly from Holland, is of a very
tolerable, if not superlative description, and arriving here
generally in good condition, in consequence of the quick tran-
sit afforded by the advantage of steam, have no doubt been
found fully to answer the most sanguine expectations of the
importers. The boisterous and squally weather however,
which tas prevailed during the greater part of the last
week has caused a mishap, which will, doubtless, prove a
serious loss to the speculators. 'The Dutch steam-ship
Batavier was due at the St. Katharine's-wharf, from
Rotterdam, on Wednesday afternoon at one o'clock, but
she (lid not make her appearance until the following day
about the same hour, having been delayed by the tempestuous
and stormy weather at sea on the night of Tuesday 24 hours
after her proper and appointed time of arrival She had
79 oxen and cows on hoard, and 75 sheep, and the scene
which the decks and hold of the vessel presented on her
arrival baffles description. They were all shipped sound and
in good condition, but the storm at sea on 'Tuesday night
was se desperate, and the vessel was so much toser.i about
by the wind and waves, that no less than 27 of the
cattle died from the suffering caused by the rough weather,
and on its arrival it was found necessary to get them landed
as quickly as possible, and sent to the knaeker's forth-
with, the stench in the• hold and on deck being almost un-
bearable, and they were pronounced by the veterinary surgeon
appointed by the Crown to examine them previously to
delivery to be totally unfit for human food. It will be
some satisfaction to the public to know that, by a salutary
regulation of the revenue department, an officer is deputed
to accompany the
.animals so pronounced to be unfit for
human food to the premises of the knacker, he being pre-
sent to witness the flesh being boiled, and thereby ren-
dered unfit and not likely to be brought into human consump-
tion, which regulation was duly observed in this extraor-
dinary instance. It was found absolutely necessary to slay 11
or 12 more of the cattle on board. The remainder, although
in a very weak state, were in a considerably better condition,
and were with some difficulty got ashore and removed to their
destination. Once or twice instances have occurred of one or
more beasts dying or requiring to be slaughtered immediately
under similar circumstances; but such a wholesale destruction
of cattle is unprecedented, and will, doubtless, be a serious
thing for the importers. The decks presented the appear
ante of an extensive slaughterhouse, dead and sick lying
in all directions, and contorted into every imagin-
able form, and altogether presenting a most extraordinary,
novel, and deplorable scene. There were twenty-one passen-
gers on board, and the inconvenienca and wretchedness they
experienced were very great. They describe the passage as a
moss terrific one, and such as none but a well proved sea boat,
with such a cargo, could have stood against. The Batavier
also brought 203 packages of peas, 82 packages of plums, 371
of melons, 7 of yeast, a quantity of poultry, and other articles
of Dutch produce and manufacture.
NEW ZEALAND.—[fActract from a private letter.]
—" A ucteasen, MARCH 22, 1845.-1 have just had additional
news from the Bay of Islands, which is worth communicating,
as the snail is now closed, and the vessel sails for Sydney at
daybreak. The Chief Nene (or Thomas Walker), Ripa, and
many others, have already marched over from Hokianga (two
days joarney) to the Bay of Islands, with 800 men, cut down a
flag, staff Heki had erected, and are going to set to work with
cudgels for us. Napua (or Noble) joins them in a few days
with 1,2, is or 2,000 more, and Heki will be shot or taken pri-
soner. All this is done not only without application from the
Governor, but even after having, in reply to various offers of
service, been told to remain quiet, as the Governor would settle
hi. own quarrel with Heki. This is most gratifying, as proving
the dependence to be placed on the good feeling of the natives,
of which no stronger proof can be given."
Moithen —A shocking murder was committed on
Saturday night last at Bromley, near Standon, Hertfordshire.
The victim was the wife of an agricultural labourer, and the
perpetrator of the violence which occasioned her death was her
own husband. Levi Warman, the husband, is 45 years of age,
and Elizabeth, his wife, was some years older. They had been
married fur many years, had brought up a family, of which
there ate now living two sons and two daughters, the youngest
of whom is about 20 years of age; the eldest is an idiot. The
domestic hearth of Warman was disturbed by frequent
quarrels, and his wife was a constant sufferer from the violence
of his temper; he had frequently threatened her life, and fear-
ir g he would carry his threats into execution, she was in the
habit of hiding herself when he was in an ill-humour. On
Saturday night last Warman'a temper was unusually ruffed.
The unfortunate deceased, in consequence, concealed herself
in the garden, but Warman went out, and discovering her re-
treat beat her in such a manner about the head, that she was
shortly afterwards found.by her daughter lying on the ground
quite dead. An inquest has been held on the body, and a ver-
dict of " Wilful murder" returned against Levi Warman, who
was forthwith committed, to the county gaol to await his trial.
He is a powerful man, standing six feet high. On Wednes-
day the body of the deceased was interred in Standon church-
yard,
• d the whole of her children following her remains to the
grave.—Eertford Mercury.
FATAL RAILWAY Accunwr..---On Saturday morn-
ing a man named Hill expired in Guy's Hospital, in conse-
tpiente of the severe injuries he sustained about a fortnight
since by falling from the top of a viaduct on the line of the
Dov, r Railway whilst engaged as a labourer.
A SHORT HONEYMOON.—On Friday a young
woman, named Caroline Glynn, who had been married only
the previous day at Winchester, was brought before the Mayor
and Si bench of magistrates, and committed for trial at the next
quarter sessions, on a charge of stealing some silver spoons
from the house of Mr. F. Barnes, a solicitor. After the mar-
riage ceremony she called upon a female in that gentleman's
service, and committed the offence, for which she was imme-
diately apprehended. The husband was rendered almost frantic
by the occurrence,
QUAKER'S REPROOF.—gomo time since It sailor on
one of our wharfs was swearing most boisterously, when one
of the Society of Friend; passing along accosted him very
pleasantly, and said, " Swear away, friend, swear away, till
thee get all that bad stuff out of thee, for thee can never go
to heaven with that bad stuff in thy heart." The sailor, with
a look of astonishment and shame, bowed to the honest Quaker
and rein d.
The weather in this locality has been more favour-
able this week, and the harvest may be said to have generally
commenced.—Nottinstham Review.
Tic DOULOUREUX.—Mr. Gower says that the ex-
tract of tobacco will cure neuralgia so that it shall not return,
and this with once using —Medical Times.
PUGILISTIC CONTEST.—On Sunday morning, be-
tween six and seven o'clock, a pugilistic contest took place in
a field at the back of Primrose-hill, between two young men,
journeyman carpenters, of the names of Saunderson and Bris-
tow. On Saturday night they quarrelled at a public-house in
Portland-town, and agreed to settle the dispute by a pugilistic
contest yesterday morning. They were attended by their re-
spective seconds, and after fighting for about a quarter of an
hour, Bristow was thrown heavily with his right leg under
him. On being raised up it was found that the bones were
protruding through the stockings and trousers. He was re=
moved to the hospital.
CHURCII-RATE CONTEST.—(From a Correspondent)
Wakefield has been much alive with a church-rate contest
during the last six days ; the town has been in a state of excite-
ment not to be exceeded by that which prevails on the occasion
of a Parliamentary election. The contest commenced on Mon-
day last, the 18th inst. The polling of the rate-payers com-
menced at ten o'clock, and has been continued each day since.
The majority in favour of the anti-rate party up to Saturday
night was 111. Every means, fair and foul, have been used by
the Church party to coerce the opponents of the rate into com-
pliance, and hence the contest is being carried on with a degree
of warmth almost unparalleled. The pro rate party have been
driven to the most desperate efforts to gain their object.
Wakefh Id is the head• quarters of a division of the Sappers and
miners for the Ordnance survey ; and the privates of the corps,
who occupy small tenements in the town, have been brought up
to pill for a church-rate. 'Captain Tucker, the commandant of
the division, has polled four votes in favour of the rate for a large
tenement which is rented and the rates paii by Government
for the Ordnance survey. It has always been understood that
the military of this country were to avoid all elections and
contests of this sort t it appears, however, that in Wakefield
this rule is to be of non-effect. What may be the position of
the parties at the close of the poll it is impossible to say. We
hope that the inhabitants will not permit this town to be dis-
graced by .the triumph of a party who are obliged to call upon
the military of the kingdom for the support of their cause.
