FOREIGN MOVEMENTS OF THE NEW MINISTRY

(From the Morning Herald of Yesterday.)

We have reason to know that one of the first acts of the
new conservative ministry has been to come to a good un-
derstanding with the French government, for the purpose of
securing, not only a friendly intelligence between both coun-
tries for the future, but continued peace and good-will be-
tween all the great powers of Europe.
We have also reason to believe that the ministry of M.
Guizot has met Sir R. Peel's administration in the same
friendly spirit.

Steps are already taken to bring the affair of Tunis, which
is the most pressing difficulty, to a satisfactory conclusion ;
on the one hand maintaining the rights of the Porte over its
vassal, and, on the other, relieving France from the appre-
hension of any immediate interference with its African con-
quests.
Steps are also taken to lay down the basis of a commercial
treaty, which may he brought to a conclusion contempora-
neously with that now under discussion between France and
Belgium.
We have likewise to add, that, at the pressing request of
Lord Aberdeen to have an ambassador charged with full
powers from the French court now present in London, orders
have been given for the immediate departure of M. de St.
Aulaire.
Our correspondent, in sending us this information, inti-
mates however his apprehension that the state of public
feeling in Paris, which resents every concession made to
England as a humiliation to France, may have some effect
in retarding the happy issue of these negotiations.

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE DUKE

D'AUMALE

PARIS, MONDAY.—An attempt has been made to assassi •
nate the Duke d'Aumale to-day. He was at the head of his
regiment, proceeding along the faubourg St. Antoine to
Neuillv, where a grand banquet was prepared by the King
and Queen for him and his comrades in arms, when a man
dressed in a blouse started from a cabaret and discharged a
pistol shot at him. It is said that the shot was directed at
the Duke d'Auniale, because he was a little in advance of his
royal brothers ; but the Dukes of Orleans, Nemours, and
Montpensier were with him, and the assassin might have
aimed at the Duke of Orleans as the heir to the throne. For-
tunately the shot did not take effect, but the horse of a Gene-
ral Valliant was killed, and it is said that the general was
slightly wounded in the knee. The assassin was about 30
years of age, and no doubt a member of the secret societies
that have lately been creating disturbances in Paris, but as
yet no particulars have transpired respecting him.
After a few minutes' delay the march of the regiment was
resumed, and it passed along the Boulevards, the Princes
still maintaining their places at its head, and cheered by the
people. It proceeded to Neuilly, and, up to the hour of
writing, no account of any other disagreeable occurrence has
arrived here.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—A very melancholy acci-
dent occurred in the neighbourhood of Inverness on Monday,
which has carried distress into a wide circle of friends and
relatives, and caused a deep and mournful feeling among all
classes of the community. About six o'clock in the after-
noon, Dr. Basil Tytler, son of the late Alexander Fraser
Tytler, Esq., of the Hon. East India Company's Service
(who had been on a visit to his uncle, the sheriff of this
county), was in a boat in the river Ness, in company with a
young gentleman, Mr. William Fraser, son of Mr. Fraser of
Culduthel. They were opposite Lady Saltoun's cottage
where the river is deep and strong, besides being at present
much swollen by the late rains. The boat had got into a
strong current, and the younger of the party, feeling that he
could not hold on, called on Dr. Tytler to come to his assist-
ance. On the latter repairing to the same part of the boat,
his additional weight brought it to the level of the water, and
when they began to pull it immediately filled. Mr. William
Fraser contrived to swim or scramble ashore, but Dr. Tytler.
struggled to regain his place in the boat, being encumbered
with a large and heavy pair of water boots, used in angling.
On making a third attempt the boat upset, and the unfortu-
nate gentleman lost his hold, whilst the frail vessel floated
with great rapidity down the stream. An alarm was given,
and the boat was found, keel uppermost, a little lower down
the river. At the Woollen mill the body of Dr. Tytler was
seen in the midst of the water, turning round near the sur-
face, and a man put out in a boat to recover it, but the
strength and rapidity of the stream frustrated every effort.
Intelligence of the fatal accident soon reached Inverness, and
hundreds of the people repaired to the old bridge, while seve-
ral expert swimmers entered the river in various directions
in their anxiety to recover the body. All attempts proved
unavailing. and there is every reason to suppose that the body
was carried out to the sea. The scene on the banks of the
iver was strikingly impressive. Crowds of anxious specta-
tors watched the progress of the stream, while the swimmers
braved its deep and rapid current, and several men in a boat
dragged the waters in fruitless expectation. The deceased
was about twenty-six years of age, of accomplished talents
and amiable disposition. He had studied medicine ander Sir
Charles Bell, and wai distinguished for his knowledge and
proficiency. He was the last of his family, the hope of his
widowed mother, and many anxious eyes were turned towards
his future career, which had opened under such bright and
favourable auspices, and promised a long life of honour and
usefulness. The sad reality
.has quenched those anticipations,
and is well calculated to remind us of the uncertain tenure by
' which all human hopes and happiness must ever be possessed.
—lnverness Courier.

An accident of a distressing nature occurred on the 28th
ult., in Sturminster Marshall, by which two respectable
families have been plunged into great distress. It appears
that Frederick Joseph Belcher, Esq., a fine young man 20
years of age, an ensign of her Majesty's 60th regiment of
foot, who was staying for a short time on a visit at the house
of his uncle, Charles Parke, Esq., of Lower Henbury, was
induced by the fineness of the weather, on the day above-
mentioned, to bathe, in company with Frederick Fane, Esq.,
a relative of the late General Fane, in the ricer Stonr. After
being in the water some time he was observed to sink, No
assistance could be immediately rendered him, and a consi-
derable time elapsed before the body was taken out of the
water, when notwithstanding every exertion was made by
the medical gentlemen of Winaborne, who were quickly on
the spot, life was found to be quite extinct. An inquest was
held on the following Monday before Henry Castleman,
Esq., coroner, when a verdict of " Accidental death" was
returned.—Sherborne Journal.
MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR OF HONOUR.—Our recent letters
from Malta mention an affair of honour which had just taken
place in that island, and which appears to have excited a
great sensation in Valetta. The brother of a noble Duke
Lord Sussex Lennox) arrived in the Great Liverpool, under
an assumed name, at Malta, and having immediately waited
on Major S. H., of the 19th Regiment, and all preliminaries
having been arranged, proceeded to fight a duel with another
military gentlemen, holding a situation in the staff of that
garrison, (Captain Norcote, of the Rifle Brigade, Military
Secretary.) Lord Sussex Lennox fired without effect, and
his adversary having discharged his pistol in the air, his
lordship was, with difficulty, induced to listen to an accom-
modation, the terms of which are said to be of a somewhat
singular description. This done, Lord Sussex Lennox left
the next day for England. During the time the parties were
on the ground they did not exchange a syllable. The cir-
cumstances in which the dispute originated, together with
the correspondence, will, it is further affirmed, in all proba-
bility, be published. The affair was the one topic of con-
versation at Malta when the mail came away.—Uniled Ser-
vice Gazette.
SUSPENSION OF PAYMENT BY A JOINT-STOCK BANK.—
Intellivence of a❑ unsatisfactory character transpired yester-
day, (Monday,) regarding the position of the Nottingham
and Nottinghamshire Joint Stock Banking Company, whose
drafts on Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co., their London
agents, were refused on Saturday. The head quarters of this
establishment are in the town of Nottingham, and their
branches and places of issue are at Newark, Mansfield,
Worksop, East Redford, Tuxford, and Loughborough. The
nominal capital is £500,000, and the paid-up capital some-
thing about one fifth of the amonnt. The shareholders are
about 350 in number ; several of them said to be wealthy. A
committee of the directors and managers, however, have ar-
rived in town, with the view of making arrangements to carry
on the business of the concern.—Chronicle.

window, to enquire the nature of his untimely visitor's
business, was informed thet Mr. R. had sent an "objection."
"Indeed!" said the gentleman, and looked at his watch.
He found that it

FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1841

From a private letter, received yesterday by one of
the principal firms in this town, from Valparaiso, we
learn that, on the 3d June last, the Chili steamer,
which belongs to the Pacific Steam Navigation Com-
pany, of London, and runs between Callao and Valpa-
raiso, with passengers only, ran on a reef of rocks,
about 30 miles south of Valparaiso, and, during the
confusion that took place in consequence, three of the
passengers (natives) lowered a boat, without the know-
ledge of the captain, and were drowned by its upset-
ting. The Chili was afterwards got off', and arrived at
Valparaiso, where a survey took place, and she would
have to be hove down and repaired.
Every thing was quiet. The revolution in Peru,
under Viranco, had been put down, and that chief had
fled.

It was reported that Santa Cruz had entered Peri
at the head of 200 men.

Your free-trade manufacturer is a personage of
amazing!, ingenuity, and has usually a method for effect-
ing any given object totally different from that which
would be practised by ordinary individuals. Just now
it is notorious that the stocks of manufactured goods
in the cotton districts are ruinously Leavy ; and for
some time past, in order to prevent further accumula-
tion, the large spinners and power.loom manufactu-
rers have resorted to the common-sense step of work-
ing their machinery only three or four days in the
week. Such a process, however, it is well known to
all who are practically conversant with these matters,
whilst it limits production, at the same time enhances
a little the cost of the product.
whilstlhe iron machine, un-
likenot the human machine, eats it sleeps. Mill-
machinery, when not working, is still deteriorating.
