TRACTARIAN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.—A commit-
tee has been crganised to promote the objects of the
Tractarian party, and to take immediate advantage of
every opportunity of forwarding their deszns.
It was a prelate of the Church, the venerable Bishop of
Bath and W.-11s, who first a'lnpted the plan of alloting
small portions of land to labourers, which system has
gradually spread to almost every quirter of the empire.
It is considered probable that Sir R. Peel will select
for the Deanery of Carlisle some clergyman of distin-
guished charaettr, rend-nt in one of the Northern Dio-
ceses, and the names of the Rev. R. Buddicombe, Prin-
cipal of St. Bees College, and the Rev. G. Townsend,
Canon of Durham, are mentioned as likely to receive the
appointment. The future income of the office will be
£lOOO a year.

FOREIGN A.\D COLONIAL.

Th.& Berlin journals announce a great rise in the price
of cotton goods in Prussia, and that the u.anufactures in
that country are in the most prosperous state.
SICKNESS IN THE FRENCH ARMY IN ALGIERS.—
Tbe number of sick in the milinry hospitals of Algiers is
at this moment 2,400. Diarhoea and dysentery are the
prevailing maladies.

It is stated in the Bible Society's Monthly Extract:
that the conversion of the entire Commune of Villefa-
vardl in the department of the Haute Vienne, in France,
clnsisting of 600 Roman Catho!ics, has been effected by
the simple reading of the ScriiAttres, circulated by the
agents of the London Bible Society.
mu-wag EVENT.—TIv: Prase states, that'at Urdos,
in Spain, two lions and a titer escaped from a menagerie.
One of the lions devoured a child, and wounded the
mayor of the town. On the departure of the courier the
animals had not been retaken. and the population re-
mained under the impression of the most profound terror.

NEW SOUTH WALES.—GREAT SALE OF SHEEP.--At

ing prices•were realised :—Four thousand five hundred and
seventy-five head, warranted sound, were sold at 23. 11d.;

very fine sheep, at 4s. 3d.—Sidney Co!onial Observer,
May 23.

To PARIS IN A DAY.—By means of the railway from
Amiens tr) Boulogne, the two metropolises of the civilised
world will have only the distance of twelve hours between
them. In the course of three years, according -to all
probability, the journey and voyage from Paris to Lon-
don will, during the greater part of the year, be accom-
plished between the rising and setting of the sun.
The trial of the Duke de Montmorency for the dis-
tribution of seditious medals took place on Monday, be-
fore the Paris Court of Assize. The Duke (or the Prince
de Roberti) was defended by M. Bet-o'er, and was ac-
companied-to court by the Duke of FitzjAmes, the Mar-
quis de la Roche Jaquelin, and several other distinguished
members of the legitimatist party. M. Berryer asserted
that there was nothing political in the affair, and the jury
coincided in his view, for, after consulting five minutes,
they returned a verdict of " not guilty."

A AVRETCII.—The Montreal papers contain accounts
of a horrible crime committed by Captain Walace, of
the ship Jane Brown, at that port from Glasgow. A'
young lady of 16, who was put under his charge by her
friends in Glasgow, was seduced and dishonoured by the
captain during the passage, and when the sh'p reached
Montreal the 'poor girl was an idiot, and the crew state
that the captain used to heat her with a rope's end, the
marks of which were deep and frequent on her shoulders!
The wretch was committed.
EFFECTS or RAILROADS ON POSTING TN FRANCE.—
The 'Paris papers of Wednesday state, that on Tuesday
last M. llailly, the president of the committee appointed
by the postmasters of France, together wilt M. Joulan,l,
their delegate, waited on the Minis!er of Finance to us-
plain to him the st to of their e,tablishments, becoming
every day more deplorable. Some. of them were totally
ruined by the establishment of rai;roads, and others were
unable to maintain the number of hors, s necessat y for the
public service, and consequently the communication be-
tween several principal points was in d ng,r of being in-
ierruptei. Tie Minister replied, that i e was determined
to bring the subject under the consideration;of the Chain-
s in the ensuing session.
OUTRAGE IN MADEIRA.—The Sierra San Antonio, a
mountain district of Madeira, has recently been given to
pillage, under the following circumstances t—On the even •
in; of the 16th of September, fourteen policemen, some
armed, and others intoxicated, attempt,d to seize Nicola°
Virira, a Portuguese, who, about eighteen months ago,
had joined the Scottish communion. Their only autho-
rity was a.warrant, not signed as required by law. Under
these circumstances, Nictlao refused to follow them until
it should be light. His neighbours rallied round him;
and, after some altercation, but without a blow being
struck by either side, the police retired. • On the 23d of
September, fitly soldiers, commanded by Capt. Oliveira,
proceeded, under pretence of seizing the offenders, to pil-
lage the district. Some of the houses were gutted, others
stripped of their valuables, the live stock was killed, and
the inhabitants either taken prisoners, or obliged to tly.
The houses of two English merchants, Messrs. Burnett
and Ellicott, were .filled with women thing from the vio-
lence of the soldiery. It was not till the pillage had con-
tinued three days that these gentlemen obtained, by their
urgent remonstrance, an order to restrain the soldiers.
Twenty-two prisoners were brought round in a frigate
and lodged in Funchal gaol.
