logEIGN.

There can now be very little doubt, if we may judge
by what is said by some of. the-French Opposition jour-
nals, that the Opposition. Deputies of the Left and Left
Centre will make the ensuing short session of the.
Chambers an occasion for trying-their strength with the
Ministry. The organs of-these parties announce this in
tulequivocal terms, although the journals which oppose
Ministers, without ranging themselves under the banners
of N. Thiers, insinuate that he has been induced to
consent to the truce which had. been recommended by
the Debats.

Sooner or. later,. says the Constitationnels the system
upon which the Cabinet has acted must be overthrown
by the Chamber, and the display of concord 'between
M. Guizot and his colleagues will not have the effect of
preventing its dissolution.' This journal, alluding to
an assertion that M. Thiers has promised to support the
Regency Bill- on condition of his being appointed to the
Presidency of the Chamber of Deputies, declares the as-
sertion to be unfounded, and-that M. Thiers has never had
an intention of becoming a candidate for that office.
The Courrier Francais observes that it is quite evi-
dent M. Gitizot wishes to carry the Ministerial question
by sleight of hand, and that he sees nothing odious in
taking refuge behind the coffin of.the Duke of Orleans,
but on the contrary considers it a commodious mode of
preserving his portfolio. He evinces, says this journal,
the audacity which is confounded by no reprobation,
which is checked by no demonstration of public feeling.
The National continues to deny the constitutional
right of the Chambers to enact what it calls a new law
of sovereignty without a direct and special appeal to the
country. In 1830, observes this journal, the urgency
of the occasion was brought forward in support of the
institution of the Charter; no such urgency exists now.
" King Louis Philippe is not dead; he enjoys, we are
assured, an excellent state of health, which resists the
most severe trials, and he bids fair to live a bug time,,
long enough perhaps to behold the majority of his grand-
son. Why then this haste ? Why not proceed calmly,
legally, and constitutionally ?"
" We learn," says the Tonlonnais, " that great changes
are about to be made in the officers of the port of
Toulon. • Admiral Baudin is to resign the Maritime
Prefecture to Admiral Hugon, being himself appointed
to the eminent post of ittspectnr of Colonies. Admiral
Lalande is to succeed to the command of the Mediterra-
nean fleet."

Nearly all the corn in the environs of Paris is got in.
The ears are large and full of grain, so that the farmers
consider the harvest to be very abundant. The straw,
hovrevei, is short, and will necessarily be dear.
The Augsburgh Gazette of the 21st announces that the
news of the death of the Duke of Orleans was known in
Vienna on the 18th (five days after the fatal event in
Paris), and had produced the deepest impression in the
Austrian capital. The Duke of Bordeaux arrived on
the 18th at Toplitz. Vienna funds on the 18th, 103,1,
1004-, 77, 1,595.
Letters from Berlin mention that the news of the
Duke of Orleans' death had produced the greatest im-
pression on that capital. Count Bresson, the French
Ambassador, immediately countermanded a diplomatic
dinner which he was about to give. The greatest sym-
pathy was evinced by the Prussian ladies for the Duchess
of Orleans. The funds fell 1i- per cent on the news.

PALZL:

'AUT.

In the House of Lords last. night the Poor-law Bill
was read 'a second time, after an opposing objur-
gation by Earl Stanhope, and a: spirited reply
by Lord Brougham. The Earl threatened their
Lordships with a convulsion, and Lord Brougham re-
ferred to the disposition of the people to repel the threat.
Though we do not share Lord Stanhope's opinions of the
Poor-laws, we believe that the respect of the people for
property, their attachment to the law, and their admira-
tion of the Constitution, have received a terrible shake,
which promises, if agitation be not put an end to by
doing justice to the people, finally to wrench all those
sentiments from their ancient holdfasts, and endanger
the political form of society. The Poor-law Bill is to be
committed on Thursday.
On account of the continued absence of the Lord Chan-
cellor, Lord Brougham postponed till next Monday his
motion about slavery.
Several Bills were forwarded, and their Lordships ad-
journed over this day.
In the House of Commons, Sir F. Burdett having
asked a question on the subject, Sir R. Peel, in order to
carry out a promise made by, the late Ministers, moved
an address to the Crown to erect a testimonial to Sir
Sidney Smith, Lord Exmouth, and Lord De Saumarez.
No opposition was made to it, but Mr. Brotherton pro-
tested against such an application of the public money,
and declared that to reward military men was to en-
courage and provoke war.
Mr. Kemble brought under the notice of the House
the allusions made by Mr. M. Gibson to the Rev. H.
Melvin, and assured the House that he was not a poli-
tical parson, that he only incidentally defended the
Corn-laws in his pulpit, and that he was altogether a
pattern parson. Mr. Gibson supported his former state-
ments, and boldly said that if the ministers of the State
Church preached politics, it was the duty of the House
of Commons to see that their doctrines were sound. The
public will be enlightened by the controversy ; but Mr.
liemble gained nothing by it for his relative, Mr. Melvill.
The Colonial Passengers Bill was rend a third time,
on the motion of Lord Stanley ; on the question that the
Bill do pass, Mr. Hawes raised a debate, by proposing to
omit some'words, which would have the effect of prevent.
ing the Hill Coollies from being exported to the Mauri-
tius. In the end the amendment was rejected, on a
division, and the Bill was passed.
In a debate on the Report of the Parish Constables
Bill, which ensued, Mr. T. buncombe referred to the dis-
turbances which have taken place at Deptford, pretty
much in the terms of our own report. When the la.- dis
filled with combustibles every spark is to be dreaded.
The Report was received.
Without transacting any business of importance, the
House s..t till Half-past One o'Clock.

• - - -
the. times. Lord John Russell,-fiold and frigid—reserved
in personal intercourse—his -mind bent upon matters of
state, election, or debate—rrely seen —not cultivating,
• flattering, overawing, seducing the varied dispositions of
the motly crew congregated under the banner of reform
—cann.-1 be expected to hold his ground when any man
possessed of such qualifications as those in which be is
wanting chooses to come forward. The late Foreign
Skretary to all those qualities which we have enume-
rated, joins many others. He gives himielf trouble ;
can fascinate when he chooses; and he is master of all the
social amenities ; and to Parliamentary tact, oratorical
powers, facility of exposition, aptitude of sarcasm, he
adds the unbounded influenee of .select hospitality. He
-is the very .fountain of knowledge of,. and intercourse
with, the world without this little island: • • Facts, affairs,
• men, nobles, senates, princes— all that reside north, east,
• south, west of England—all thatinfluences it from with-
out, possessed in his, single Mind, must be to the mem-
bers of manufacturing districts, as well as counties, a
source of delight when he chooses to communicate, and
of confidence when he chooses. to withhold."

• • The Times contains the following We to-day re-
sume our remarks on • Mr. Roebuck's Election Com-
mittee. We observed on Monday that the report was
worded in a manner very different from those fiery
speeches with which he opened the trenches against the
accused Members. From what cause this proceeds of
course we cannot pretend to say. 'Whether the line
which Mr. Roebuck in that paper adopts is the offspring
of a genuine suavity of disposition, or whether he found
on looking over the reports of his late speeches, with all
their energetic disclaimers of all personal or vindictive
motives, that it.would be impossible; with any preten•
sions to sincerity or consistency, to emit a personal
tirade against any one or all of those whom he visited
with his inquisition ; or whether he was obliged to re-
sign himself, whether he would or no, to the impossibility
of substantiating a tangible charge of corruption against
any candidates or Members of Parliament, and so con-
sidered it wise to take with a good grace that more quiet
tone which circumstances imperatively demanded ; or
whether, finally, the Report is not but the Com-
mittee's ;—whether any, or all, or which of these
reasons operated to produce that more.guarded language
in which the much-expected Report is couched, we, of
coursa, cannot pretend to say. Nor, indeed, if the truth
be told, do we very much care. It is sufficient that the
Report is very studiedly unobjectionable ; and we are
glad to find it so, without investigating too scrupulously
the causes which may have combined to make it what
it is."

MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCE.
The sum deposited in the Tyrone Savings Bank is
428,9611., which. is a larger investment than appears in
any other town for Ireland, Dublin excepted.
Upwards of nine hundeed and sixty-five thousand
persons travelled by the various steam-boats on the river,
plying to and from Greenwich, Gravqsend, and Wool-
wich on Sunday.
Upwards of 100,000 quarters of foreign wheat from
the north of Europe have been imported into London
within the last fortnight.
NAVAL AND MILITARY._

By a Parliamentary return of all mates of the Royal
Navy, it appears that the total number who have passed
their examination for Lieutenants, up to the 3d of March
of the present year, is 387.
LAW AND POLICE.

At the AntrWnA;sizesYurigefeti sentenced two
sisters to be hanged for the murder of the illegitimate
infant of one of them.

Yesterday at Greenwich two little boys named Howe
and Smith, who had come from Uxbridge in search of
employment, were committed to prison for three months
on a charge of breaking a public lamp on the Greenwich-
road. It appeared that one of the prisoners had been
before the same Magistrate on a similar charge, and that
in the course of a fortnight lamps had been broken in
that neighbourhood to the amount of 21. 14s.
The third adjourned meeting of the creditors of
Messrs. Acraman, Morgan. and Co, of Bristol, took place
yesterday. Nothing of public interest occurred, and the
meeting was adjourned till Thursday.
FINE ARTS.
A number of bas-reliefs, pottery, and other antiquities,
discovered among the ruined buildings in Algeria, have
just arrived from that country in five large cases at Paris.
They are Roman remains, and are much admired.
LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC.
. .

In preparing the ground for the railroad along the
Rhine, portions of a skeletOn mammoth, and remains of
an extinct species of horse, have been discovered, in a
bed of marl, about 30 feet below the surface.
Mehemet Ali, it is said, has determined on realising
the dream of his life—the junction of the Red Sea and
the Mediterranean by means of the canal to be cut
through the Isthmus of Suez. For this purpose the
Pacha had written to Mr. Brunel, the engineer, who has
executed the Thames Tunnel, proposing to him to un-
dertake this work.

The discussion in the house of Commons last night on the
subject of permitting the Coolies to proceed to the Mauritius
has at tract.d considerable attention. The accounts from the
whole of our sugar colonies agree that if an increase of labourers
be not received the produce must inevitably be much les-
sened. This ought not to be allowed, as the falling-off in the
quantity of sugar from the West Indies has for some years
been increasing, and were it not for the supply from the
Mauritius, scarcely one-half of the quantity necessary for
the actual consumption would arrive in this country. It
cannot be concealed that the once important colony of
Demerara is virtually ruined, and this fact is to be traced
to the want of labourers to supply the place of the
negroes, who during the time of slavery, and from the high
w ages paid to them in the years immediately succeeding eman-
cipation, had amassed sufficient property to render them-
selves independent of more labour than is just sufficient
to raise the necessary food. In that place societies have
been formed, which have clubbed their money together,
and purchased estates, which have been parcelled out into
allotments according to individual contributions, and upon
which the negroes at present reside, quite, regardless of their
former employers, and who now are unable to obtain the culti-
vation of the plantations. Other parts of the West Indies are
certainly not yet reduced to this condition, but still much appre-
hension exists that, in the course of a few years, no labour will
be bestowed upon the ground but that which is derived from
extraneous assistance.

In this state of affairs attention is naturally directed to the
Mauritius, which, with British India, is the source from which
the deficiency is to be supplied. Here the negroes work well,
but the estates are not fully cultivated from the absence
of sufficient hands, and therefore a supply from some source is
actually necessary, and which, without virtually le-establishing
the slave-trade, can only be obtained from India. Such of the
Coolies as have proceeded to the Mauritius are stated to have
returned to India in the course of comparatively few years.
greatly improved both in condition and property, while the
island has received a great increase in its prosperity from their
labour. Hence this measure; apparently so trifling, is of the
greatest importance to all classes in this country, and it is to be
hoped that it will shortly pass into law.

LOG of the BISHOP of EXETER'S
VOYAGE TO THE SCILLY ISLANDS.

" There is now a vote on the Paper of ninety-three pounds,
for the expense of carrying the Bishop of Exeter to the Scilly
Isles."— Vide Captain Pechell's Speech in the House of
Commons.

N.B. The Bishop of Exeter having lately made a
voyage to the Scilly Isles,-with a view of impressing on
the benighted natives a becoming sense of the blessings
of Episcopacy, the Captain of the ship, Hoax—the vessel
in which the ghostly Prelate and his staff embarked—
has kindly forwarded to us the following Log of their
proceedings, which he drew up at the time, and a copy of
which he has also transmitted to the Admiralty.

JULY 1, 10 O'CLOCK, A.M.—Set sail from the Land's-
End, Cornwall, in the brig, Hoax, six hundred tons
burden, exclusive of the tonnage of the Bishop of Exeter,
his two men-Cooks, upper and under Butlers, Chaplain,
Secretary, and four hampers of provisions—Ship going
six knots un hour.

11, A.m.—Light winds from the north-west, with a
short, brisk sea—Bishop complained of being " peckish,"
and piped all hands to lunch in the state cabin—Chap-
lain commenced saying Grace, but cut it short at Bishop's
instigation, who immediately set-to, like a shark, at a
cold pigeon pie—Ditto, Secretary—Ditto, Chaplain—A
sudden roll of the brig deposited' two plates of ham
sandwiches in Bishop's lap, and sent his fork right
through the Chaplain's wig. •
12, A. M.—Bishop and, his staff came on deck after
lunch—Bishop looked over ,the gunwale, and, seeing a
krge fish swimming about, asked if it was a whale—
Cracked a joke with his Chaplain about Jonah—Bad
joke, but what can you expect from a Bishop ?—Chap-
lain laughed, of course—Wind chopping round to the
nor'ard.

1, psi.—A heavy swell-7A bleak, blue tinge appeared
at the tip of Bishop's nose—Face white and pasty—
Complained of qualmishness in his apostolic bowels—
Looked disconsolately at his Secretary, who was fast
asleep over one of his old pamphlets against Catholic
Emancir.tion—Bishop shot his head suddenly over
ship's side, and groaned like a martyr—Dropped
his shovel hat in the sea, and borrowed his Chap-
lain's castor, which didn't fit—Another heave of the
ship, and a corresponding motion in the episcopal epi-
gastrium—Chaplain asked Bishop how he felt—Bishop
replied, he never felt so uncomfortable since he was de-
prived of his rich living of Stanhope.
2, P.M.— W ind gradually abating.—Bishop quite
comfortable again—Saw a porpoise, and asked the
Chaplain if it wasn't very like Doctor C--, of Exeter—
Chaplain said yes, of course—Tried to laUgh, but was
nearly choked with the effort.
3, P.M.—Sea much smoother—Bishop remarked that
his fleshy Tabernacle was in want of repair, and piped
all hands to dinner—Dispatched a pullet in less than no
time, to the astonishment of the Mate, who said he'd
rather keep him for a week than a month—Hob-a-
!lobbed with the Chaplain—Toasted " Church and State"
—Was beginning to sing the song of " Toby Phinpots,'
when just as he got as far as the word " Toby," a tre-
mendous roll of the ship sent him head foremost on the
cabin-floor—Two hams, a round of beef, four bottles of
champagne, and six ditto of old Port fell atop of him,
and kept him cool and moist—Chaplain alarmed, sang
out " The Church in danger !" .

4, P.M.—Scilly Isles in sight—Aborigines rush down
to the sea-shore to see the great man—Astonished to
find him just like any other man !—Bishop lands at the
head of his aaff, and holds a consultation with a native
Chief, respecting the culinary accommodations of the
island—Denounces all the islanders as savages, for their
indifference to gastronomical science, and orders his two
men-cooks to enlighten them on this point—Repair to
the lodgings provided for his reception, and Oa an
order on the Treasury to the ship's stewAskiiir ninety-
three pounds, the expense of his voyage, •
(Signed) NATHAN NOGGS,
Captain of the schooner, Hoax.

MISS GLADSTONE.—The Church Intelligencer's con-
tradiction of Miss Gladstone's conversion cannot be true;
the act of Miss Gladstone's conversion is, we are assured,
undoubted. If it were not so, the lady's relatives in
Liverpool would soon have.contradicted it in the local
Tog Papers.—Liverpool Albion.
HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Rossini's Mose is
to be performed to-morrow night, with the cast of La-
blache, Ronconi, Moltini, and Rubini, whose farewell is
rapidly approaching, he having only five more nights to
terminate his brilliant' career. Some gems of I Puritani
and the last scene of La Sonnambula follow, with ti:e
gorgeous ballet of Alma to close the evening's entertain-
Anent,
