APOTHECARIES' HALL.--Nantes of gentlemen to whom certificates of qualification were granted on Thursday :—Daniel Wheeler, PankB James Wigginton, George Robinson, Thomas John Starling. During the past year 292,000 passengers were conveyed by the railroad between Amsterdam and Haarlem. The total receipts, including luggage and merchandise, were 136,698 florins (or 336,745 francs. The Lincoln Mercury intimates that Mr. Christopher's constituents are greatly dissatisfied with his late speech upou the corn cinestion, and are about to I take steps to express their feeling on the subject.  was, notwithstanding that Sir A. Aston had done all in his power to bring about a good understanding upon the subject. In the sitting of the Deputies on that day, the Minister of Finance had brought forward the Budget of 1842, which was referred to a Committee- According to this document, it appears that the deficit for 1842 is upwards of 180 millions of reels, or 45 millions of francs. The estimates of the war department are fixed at 600,000,000 reals, or 150 millions of francs. The average revenues of the Spanish Government are calculated at between 700 and 800 millions of reels, or from 173 to 200 millions of francs per annum.—The Castellano of the above date gives the following:—" The evening before last an extraordinary incident occurred at the Palace. A carriage drove up to the steps from which the Princesses enter their equipages, and a gentleman alighting went to the door at which are stationed the first sentinels of the halberdiers, who asked him where he was going. Ile replied that he belonged to the household. Of entering the saloon he was again questioned, and then replied that he was the King Don Philip, affianced to Queen Isabella 11., and was about to marry her immediately. He was taken before the Captain-General, and, being recognised as a lunatic, was placed in safe custody.' The Cure of Vernon, in the Eure, as we learn from the journal of the department, having refused to perform the funeral service over the body of a grocer of the town, who had committed suicide, the grenadiers of the National Guard determined to accompany his remains to the cemetery. As the procession was about to move from the deceased's house, it was opposed by the Freres de Charite, but the Commissary of Police interfered, and declared that the grenadiers had a right to carry their late comrade to his grave ; but as the Freres de Charite refused to lend their staves to support the bier, the grenadiers used their muskets for the purpose. It is the custom at Vernon to throw the bodies of criminals over the wall of the cemetery, and bury them in the common fosse, but in this case the gates were opened to the procession, which was numerously attended, and the corpse was interred in a separate grave. The Revue du Havre mentions the detection of a secret gambling-house in that town, and the prosecution of several respectable persons as being concerned in it. It is said to have been denounced by a foreigner, who lost 4,000 f. in playing there. The Journal de 1 'Eure complains that the wolves continue to ravage the country round Evreux, and have devoured several cattle belonging to feeders in Authou, Pont Authou, St. Georges Lieurey, and the neighbour. ing communes. An eagle was killed last week at La Chapelle-surErdre, near Nantes. It measured 7 feet 11 inches from tip to tip of its wings. No bird of the kind had been seen in that commune for the last twenty years. A lady and gentleman were one day last week going from Chaumont to Blois, in a light carriage with one horse, when the jolting upset a chaufie-pied, which the lady had under her feet to keep them warm, and scattered the lighted charcoal among the straw at the bottom, setting it almost immediately in a blaze. They both got out unhurt, and took the horse out of the shafts, but found it impossible to save a single article of the baggage, which with the carriage, made of wicker work behind, was entirely consumed. The report of M. Ducos, in the name of the Special Committee of the Council of Commerce, recommended the suppression of the beetroot-sugar manufactories with an indemnity, but, on its being put to the vote on Tuesday, this conclusion was rejected by a majority of 24 to 23. The immediate placing of the duties on home made and colonial sugars upon an equality, was then discussed and carried by a majority of 36' to 11. Advices from Constantinople, of 22d ult., in the Austrian Observer, state that Baron de Bourqueney had visited the Grand Vizir and other high functionaries the day before. Mustapha Pacha had sailed for Syria with 1,500 choice troops. Muchta Bey had accompanied him. Another letter, in tho Augsburg Gazette, says that the new Grand Vizir has dismissed Rifaat Pacha from his post in the Divan, and has replaced him by Sarim Effendi, who is known to be opposed to the late reforms. The National says:—" The 2d light infantry, and the 11th and 59th of the line, between which regiments and other corps a sanguinary quarrel took place at the beginning of the month, had a dinner of reconciliation on Tuesday at the Salon Francais; near the Barrier° de l'Ecole-Militaire, which was attended by numerous deputations from each corps. During the repast, the bands of each of the above-mentioned regiments played in concert, and among the toasts, the following was drunk with the warmest cordiality:—` A l'union ajamais inseparable entre tons les corps, tant d'infanterie que de cavalerio "—The Commerce says that arrests of the men concerned in this quarrel are still going on. The St. Petersburgh Correspondent of the Journal de Frankfort says---" The treaty with Khiva is beginning to produce good fruit. Caravans now pass in perfect security over the Steppes. In July last, one composed of 29 camels left Bouckara. for the fortress of Orskaia, being the first which has ever ventured upon this journey, from fear of being pillaged by the Kirghis." A violent affray occurred the day before yesterday at Vanvres, south of Paris beyond Vaugirard, between some journeymen carpenters and ,some men engaged in the washing establishments of that place. The cause was a drunken quarrel in a public-house, ending in a fight, in the course of which knives were drawn, and one man was dangerously wounded. The local authorities intervened just as the disturbance was assuming a serious character, and arrested several of t he most riotous. The Journal de Bourbonnais has just been seized for an article considered seditious. The Bordeaux papers state that, on the 9th inst., from 1,200 to 1,500 young men of that city went to the Abbe Lacordaire, in pursuance of resolutions adopted at the public meeting mentioned by us the other day, to congratulate him on the result of his Advent sermons. A respectful address was delivered on the occasion; to which the Abbe replied by an animated speech, which showed that he was much moved at this public testimonial of respect.
