London Court Journal.
Early on the morning Of the 10th a frigLtful
accident occurred al the terminus of the Dover
Railway, in London. While a body of men were
working underneath the she'd intended for the re-
e 81
several tons, icii 10 the ground, buryng in It's fall
about thirty workmcn, The whole OF the parties
were more or less injured, and many OF them so
frightfully mutilated that they expired.
The quarterly revenue tables were made up to
the 4th, the 9Th being close holiday, and showed
that the increase in the ordinary revenue for the
quarter was $685., 725.
IrALY.-Thc Lcipsic Gazette of the Odd of
March states that considerable excitement pre-
walls at Ravcnna and at Bologna. Some days
since, violent dispute occurred between the
populace of Frenza and some gend'armcs. Sew
eral Of the latter were killed, and the populace
mutllated their bodies. 1t appears that similar
riots took place at Rimini. The Roman Gov
eminent appears 10 wish TO yield or, at least, TO
temporize. A frequent exchange of couriers had
taken place of late between the Court of Rome
and the commander Of the Austrian forces sta
toned along the frontier; and, on the 18th, the
Pope ordered prayers to be offered in the churches
for the preservation of peace, and the security of
the Catholic Church
The accounts from Portugal to the 9th state
that the revolt had not been put down, and that
it was as far from being suppressed as ever-per-
haps farther.
The third Ancient Concert took place on the
18th under the patronage Of the Archbishop Of
Vorl- A oft that fathnr ff ,onal r1,usi
Paesrina, was executed most brilliantly. TIE
Adoremus (the piece we speak Of has always
been considered model, and the richest of the
final Gloria Patri has never been surpassed. Sir
Henry Bishop had also rescued from oblivion
another gem from Pasiello which was sung by
Madame Caradori Allan most admirably Various
uther treasures were executed, and the whole
affair was brilliantly successful.
TURKEY.-Integenc from Constantinople of
the Goth March, confirms the statement that the
Porte had undertaken not to punish rcnegades of
the Mussulman faith with death.
GREEcE.-Lctcrs from Athens, of March 30th,
mention the final settlement of the Greek Con-
stituton; the Charter having been definitely
voted by the National Assembly and adopted by
King Ohio. There was, however, some difficult
ty before the ultimate adjustment. The Charter
having been submitted to the King, he returned
against the advice of his own cabinet, and Of the
English and French Ministers, and in compliance
with that Of the Prussian Minister who acts also
for Russia, that it was deemed necessary to re-
consider the whole. The Assembly, after three
days elaboration, accepted ten of the Kings al
terations and rejected seventeen of the most ma
teral. The King, however, adopted the Charter,
which is very popular.
The King took the oath of fidelity TO the con-
stituton in the Chamber of the Representatives,
and the act was greeted with unanimous and en-
thusiastc accamations. On the evening Of the
Goth, the palace was illuminated, and the popu
lace, who gathered in great crowds in the me- gh-
borhood, saluted their Majesties with the cries of
"Long live the Queen, and the Constitution
The soldiers of the Garrison also arrived and
mixed their acclamations with those of the peo-
pie. Their Maiestes appeared several times at
the windows, and were loudly chcercd.
INDIA AND CnINA-The Overland Mail ar
rived in London on the 9Th ult, with accounts
from Calcutta, Feb. 20; Ceylon, Feb. 8. China
Macao, Jan. -; Chusan, Dec. "a; Hong
Kong, Jan. 2 Delhi, Feb. 10; Lahore, Feb. 6;
Madras, Feb. %; Manila, Dec. 10; Scinde,
Feb 10 to %; Singapore, Jan. %.
The American News Letter says :-The intel
ligencc brought by this mail from the East is of
the most satisfactory character. Peace and tran
guilty prevailed throughout the whole of the
British possessions in India. The affairs of
Gwa!icr had been finally arranged to the salts
faction of the Governor General. The young
sovereign had been formally installed on the Goth
of January, in presence of Lord Peterborough,
the commander in chief, and all the military and
civil authorities.
The accounts from China are as favorable as
those from India, and universal peace also rcigns
in that quarter. We regret to state, however
that the massacre of three Catholic Bishops, with
seventy Christians, at Corer, is confirmed. They
were all beheadcd and about $50 more were said
TO have been strangled.
WOMAN MuRpERED.-We learn from gen.
tleman who came up from Lawrenccburgh yes
terday, that a man living in that place beat his
wife so badly on Sunday that she cannot recover,
