LATEST FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

THE SPANISH MARRIAGES. —The Paris journals are
already expressing triumph, and anticipating the best re-
sults to France from these two unions. The Paris cor-
respondent of the Times, in allusion to this subject, says,
" These journals commence well. You will speedily
hear of the overthrow of the Pyrenees by this immense
acquisition gained for France: you will see the Princess,
destined. in certain circumstances, to rule over Spain,
arrive in Paris, and become French; you will bear of her
adopting the views as she will adopt the language of the
French Court. that her children, brought up at the
Chateau of the Tuileries with those of her illustrious
brothers in-law, will become, like them, truly and bone
fide French princes. You will hear, probably, before
waiting lung, of the advantages secured to French com-
merce in Spit'n over that of all foreign countries. You
will hear of the security given to the African possessions
of France by not the cession, perhaps, but the application
of M .j...ca and Minorca, the latter in particular, to the
uses and the services of France; and you will hear how
far the priject to make the Mediterranean a French
lake will have ben advanced by this glorious idea, so
happily realised."
Belgium and the north of France, the potato crop is
reported to be not only good, but abundant: the unsound
crop of last year being succeeded by one perfectly healthy.

COLLISION ON THE RIVER.—A collision took place
near the C:ieshire shore, on Saturday night, between
two of the Woodside boats, but owing to the clearness of
the weather, both vessels being able to reverse their
engines, the consequences were exceedingly trivial. The
Wirral left this side at half-past nine, and the Nun the
opposite side at the same time; the former, steaming to
stem the tide, which was running up rapidly towards ths
Rock, came in collision with the other boat, which was
running down in land to make a reach to the Pier. Some
of the passengers were much alarmed, end the boat was
about a quarter of an hour behind her time. No blame
is, we learn, attached to either captain.
Mr. Dietrichsen, surviving partner of the firm of Han.
nay and Dietrichsen, committed suicide on Wednesday,
by cutting his throat.
ST. MICHAEL'S MOUNT.—It is rumoured that our
most grach,us Sovereign hat offered £55,000 for St. Mi-
chael's Mount, Devonshire, as a marine residence, but
that the t-um asked is £75,000.
THE NAVAL STATION AT COVE.—A letter has been
received by the Earl of Bandon from Lord John Russell,
intimatine that the Lords of the Admiralty approved of
the establishment of a naval station at Cove for the re-
pairs of wea ners, ships of war, &c., that an engineer
would re sent over at once to lay out the necessary works,
and labourers then employed in the excavations, &c._

A CONSCIENTIOUS DEBTOR.—The Rev. Win. Robert.
of Monzievaird, has received £1 sterling from a party
in Land in, as tenfold payment of a debt incurred in that
parish about forty years ago. He has duly paid the sum
to Mr. Duncan M'Grigor, at the house of Burn, the son
of the persan to whom the debt was due; and Mr. D.
M'Grigor has returned the amount to be distributed
among the poor of the parish.—Perthshire Courier.

NEW NAVIGATION.—Much interest was excited yes-
terday by the noble though not entirely new exhibition
of part of a sea-going vessel drawn by horses to t.ie water
side. An iron ship, of 3(10 tons, being in course of con-
struction by the Messr4. Pim, the bows and foremost por-
tion of the hull were removed from the foundry in Eng-
lish-street, in a cradle drawn by sixteen horses, and aided
by nearly 200 men to their yard on the Ilumber-bank,
near Wellington-street, where the after part will be re-
moved in about a fortnight to complete the vessel, which
is intended for the Liverpool and Dublin trade.—Hull
Paper.
APPALLING DISTRESS.—We (cork Ezarniner) pray
attention to the statement of the Rev. Mr. Daly, con-
tained in this day's paper, with reference to the destitu-
ton of the parish of Kilworth, of which he is the pastor.
Mane of the poor inhabitants, he declared, at tl!e Fermoy
presentment sessions, had no other means of subsistence
but cabbage leaves, the effects of which were visible in
tht it altered frames and appearance. The Earl of Mount-
cazhel, without repeating the shocking details, testified
to the truth of every word of the clergyman's recital.
It is strange tha. a state of circumstances so undoubtedly
real and sickening to contemplate sLou!d occur in a
Christian land.

rns HEROES OF THE SUTLF.7.—On Sunday upwards
of 150 invalids of the 3rd Light Dragoons, 16th Lancers,
and 9th. 10th, 29th. 31st, 50th, 53rd, 62nd, and 80th
Regiments of Foot, from India, arrived at Chatham,
basing disembarked at Gravesend from the Herefordshire;
all of whom were engaged in the four battles on the banks
of the Sutlej It was painful to witress the mutilation
which some of these brave men suffered in the late en-
counters with the Sikhs—most of them having lost an arm
or a leg, and one sereeant both legs and at ms. They left
Fernzepore the 14.11 March last, and arrived at Bombay
the 27th April, having been conveyed in steam-boats from
the mouth of the ludo:, and they embarked on board
the above sh:p on the 16th or May. from Bombay. The
ship put in at St. Helena for water and stores, and they
also put in at Fayal. Lieut. M. Deane Fteeman, of the
80th, who was shot through the thigh, died on the
passage.
MONEY MARKET—SATURDAY NTGHT.—The news
by the overland mail has produced no effect upon the
Consol market, notwiihstanding its political com-
plexion seems to be regarded as far from satisfactory..
In the general appearance of prices at the Stock-Exchange
there was no particular alteration, except that heaviness
continues the leading character of business. The deal-
ines in all the departm,nts were of the roost limited kind,
the early closing of the markets inducing many of the
jobbers to withdraw themselves entirely on a Saturday.
Consols, for money and the account, left • (Idris afternoon.
at 951 to 1; Low:. Annuiti,s (expiring 5,h of January,
1860) 10 1-16; India Stock, 260; and Exchequer-bills,
15s. to 11s. prem. The bargains in the foteign mar-
ket are scarcely worth enumeration. They include
Buenos Ayres, at 43; Mexican, for the account, at 25 ;
Portuguese Four per Cents., for the account, at 42;
Spanish Five per Cents., 2dJ ; and Dutch Four per
Cents., Certificates, at 921. During the last week, and
particularly within the last two days, the demand for
money on commercial paper has been increasing. The
current rate for discounting bills of the first class may be
set down at 3 to 31 per cent. _

REFUSING CHI;ISTIAN BURIAL. - The town was
thrown into great excitement on Tuesday, in consequence
of the Rev. S. Carr, vicar of St. Peter's, having refused
hristian burial of a man named Foster, an umbrella-
maker, who resided on North-hill, in the above parish.
Mr. Carr, being applied to to perform the funeral rites,
it appears, refus.ed, on the ground that deceased had lived
a dissolute life, therefore be could not conscientiously
comply with the request of the family in that respect, but
allowed the grave of 1, oster's late wife to be opened, that
his remains might be deposited therein, and the bell was
tolled as the funeral procession approached the church-
yard. On the corpse arriving at the grave, a messenger
was brought to Mr. Carr, to request him to officiate per-
sonally, but he was inexorable, and still persisted in htk
refusal, is regarded himself, or any other clergyman to
officiate for him. The consequence was, that the corpse
was taken back, and an application was made to Mr.
Herrick, minister of the Independent chapel, East
Stockwell-street, for permission to have the corpse in-
terred in the burial-ground adjoining the meeting-house,
which was instantly complied with by Mr. Herrick, who
also volunteered to perform the funeral rites. A grave
was immediately sunk, and at nine o'clock the same eve-
ning the corpse was conveyed thither, attended by at least
a thousand persons, who observed the most profound de-
corum.— Chelmsford Chronicle.
