-day = are almost exclusively on the regency question.
It is evident that, if the opinions of the writers who are
the avowed organs of the different political parties in
the Chamber of Deputies may be taken as indicative or
What is intended by the leaders of those parties in the
legislature, the Regency Bill will not be passed with-
ut some warm discussion, although the question di-
vested, of party politics is anything but complicated.

katy--- • A respectable meeting of the English residents took
iore
place in Faris on Saturday, for the purpose of pre-
-44'11 '•
paring an address of condolence to the King of the
French on the occasion of the death of the Duke of
Orleans. A report of the proceedings will be found in
another column.
• The Reparateur of Lyons states that a collision took
place on the St. Etienne railroad on the 15th instant,
the train from Givors running against that returning to
Lyons. Several of the carriages were thrown off the
rails, and one containing thirty persons was dashed to
Pieces against the rock at the side of the line. No
Person was injured seriously, but some contusions were
received.
A letter from Madrid of the 16th instant announces
that the dispute between M. Gonzales and M. Marliani,
Iwhich was expected to end in a duel, has been arranged
by the mediation of General Seoane. M. Marliani is
stated to have left Madrid for France.
The Madrid Heraldo states that some difficulties had
arisen between the Courts of Spain and Portugal, in
e°nsequence of the arrest of M. Saenz, a senator of the
Province of Orense. A note couched in strong terms on
the subject had been presented to Count Alunadovar by
tne Poetuguese Minister. This is the cause assigned for
thefret. Oeovement of Spanish troops towards the Portuguese
.Iroe.tier.
The Barcelona journals of the 17th inst. announce the
'arrival of General Zurbano on the lath at Girona. The
Same day he ordered three Carlists to be shot in that
town, and four more the following day. The British
frigate Belvidere, of 46 guns, anchored in the port of
Barcelona on the 14th. It appears that some Spanish
vessels of war are to join the English frigate in a cruise
the southern coast of Spain.
The Rhine and Moselle Gazette informs us that, about
two in the afternoon of the 16th inst., a fire broke out
in the small town of Lorch, near Rheindiebach, and, as
most of the inhabitants were in the field getting in the
'harvest, ten houses were entirely consumed before any attempt could be made to extinguish the flames; and even
afterwards they burnt so irresistibly, that they were not
thirteen.more houses were reduced to ashes.
eravenirionad train, which left Liege for Brussels on Tues-
distance frtg,rnltshaet, Was
t detained for an hour at a short
unnel at Comptwich by a fall of bA the nk, occasioned by the preceding storm. A wheel of
the engine got off the rail, but no other accident occurred.
The train reached Brussels in safety at ten o'clock at
tight.
We find the following in the Swabian Mercury :
The continued efforts of the English Cabinet to give to
, e
I,th Queen of Spain a Prince of Coburg for a husband
Ive excited a high degree of interest in Austria, as the
• _)uke of Coburg Cohary belongs to that country by his
.laerge possessions in Hungary. Recently the King of the
• ejeneh addressed Duke Ferdinand as Rciyal Highness,
iliteieh gave rise to much comment, although it was per-
• evl'a a mere expression of politeness. It is certain, how-
to'l', that the English Cabinet has taken steps to insure
even tiles Ducal family the title of Royal Highness, and it is
e '.aid that Queen Victoria has addressed all autograph
-ner. to this effect to a German Sovereign."
PUBLIC OPINION.
ii:the Morning Herabl has the following remarks upon
.;" Conduct of the House of Commons and the Tory elo-
,_-ernment relative to the war in Affghanistan :—" For-
,e7erly in England,: and especially under Sir Robert
We had the House amused and the country hood-
'inked by committees of inquiry hate our foreign
relations ; but now-a-days, when we are involved in the
first complicated and mysterious transactions with so
homy countries in the world, doing, suffering, acting,
`laying, being slayed, vituperating what we have done,

most foolish and criminal act which had ever defamed
the name -of England."
~;„ • The Post again attacks Government for its advocacy
t..‘,)f free-trade principles, observing—" The Conservative
".;';Ministers of the Crown have undoubtedly lent their
.`4anction to the principles of free trade; nor the Con-
41:4ervative Ministers of the Crown repudiate the hypo-
‘e4lhesis that they may soen be leading on the Cobdens

Villierses to fresh triumphs over the productive in-
ke

'she Conservative party, meanwhile—the chosen repre-
etelentativeS of the agricultural and colonial interests—sit
AVl.4l4te, while these demonstrations are taking place around
,"4.. Cie on every side. They neither grapple with the.
e4-"Xeerlneiples of their enemies, nor hazard an exposition of
:v4t4,:civ own views. Yet the times would not seem to be
et.lJecially conducive to apathy ! nor are the .apathetic
"nri, in this country, to exercise any remarkable share
541 I..,ltifluence over public opinion."
e''''*4l,:fr-tile following is from the Times :—" The debate in
