lordship seems to think, would not be so likely to
prevail amongst a religiously educated population, as
amongst one embued with the Jack Sheppard litera-
ture, which modern utilitarian philosophers have
succeeded in placing in the hands of our working
population instead of the Bible. The CHIEF

efficient discharge of his duties during this assize.

FRANCE.

4iteur of Tuesday announces that as the confer-
held at Paris, between the Minister of Fo-
nairs and the Plenipotentiaries of Belgium, have
'ther to a renewal of the old treaty of December
arrangement; and as the treaty in
,pared on the 9th inst., the commercial relations
..een France and Belgium have now fallen under the
regulations of the general tariff. The same journal of
Monday contained decrees granting permission to return
to France to MM. Creton, Duvergier de Hauranne, Cham-
bolle, Thiers, De Remusat, General Laidet, Antony Thou-
ret, Michel Renaud, Signard, Joly, Bac, Belin, Besse,
and Millotte. These decrees manifest a more conciliatory
spirit on the part of the Government, and are attributed
to the influence of M. Fould, the new Minister of State
It is rumored that other decrees of a like characte
soon be expected to follow.

On Tuesday morning 25 Arabs, fellow-prisoners of Abd-
el-Kader, left the Chateau d'Amboise, under military es-
cort, for Marseilles, where they will be embarked for Al-
geria, there to be set at liberty. Among them are the four
brothers of Abd-el-Kader, Sidi-Mohammed-Said, Sid-el-
Moustapha, Sid-Heussein, and Sid-Hamed. None of the
lieutenants of the Emir are included in this measure of cle-
mency. There still remain, besides Abd-el-Kader himself,
about 40 Arab prisoners in the Chateau d'Amboise.
A Legitimist bookseller in Paris has been sentenced to
fifteen days' imprisonment for exposing in his window
several portraits of the Count de Chambord, labelled
"Henri V." The prints have also been seized.
The potato disease has shown itself in some districts in
France, and in Flanders it is said Co be making as great
ravages as it did three years ago. This calamity will, it is
feared, increase the demand for wheat, and render it ne-
cessary for the Government to provide for the require-
ments of the population by a considerable importation, as
was the case in 1847.

AMERICA

ARRIVAL OF THE HUMBOLDT.

The United states Mail steam-packet Humboldt, Capt.
J. D. Lines, arrived off Cowes on Thursday, and landed
her mails. She left New York on the 31st July, and
brings three days' later news.
News from the Bay of St. Lawrence states that an
anchorage duty of Gd. per ton had been demanded by the
British upon all United States fishing vessels. Two more
American fishing sloops had been seized by the English
cruizers. Fourteen ships of war (English) were cruising
on the grounds, four more being fitted out at St. John's.
A part of the Japan expedition had been ordered to the
scene of the dispute, and the Mississippi, Commodore
Perry, was coaling for that object at New York. The
Herald states that the President was displeased with Mr.
Secretary Webster's course on the subject. The Hum-
boldt bad t'450,000 in specie for Havre.
The Prometheus steamer had arrived, with five days'
later news from California, and $28,000 in gold dust. The
markets were cheerful and rising.
A most appalling catastrophe had occurred to the
steamer Henry Clay, in the Hudson river, while on her
voyage from Albany to New York. In consequence of
racing with another boat, her machinery became so heated
that she caught fire, and although run aground as speedily
as possible, she could not reach the shore, owing to a
rock, and, horrible to relate, more than 60 persons pe-
rished, either by fire or water. 56 bodies had been picked
up, the ex-mayor Allen, of New York, was among the
drowned. A coroner's inquest was held, and a meeting
of surviving passengers at the Astor House, New York,
and it is probable such evidence will be completed as will
lead to the prosecution of such officers of the Henry Clay
ofhuman misaiy and such it'teriibte
life.
