fHE NEWSPAPER. 





The *»—-i~ — - ' . r 



been appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister 



Plenipotentiary to the Court of London ; and Don 

 A A. Galicino has been appointed Royal Commissioner 

 of" the Bank of San Fernando. The Madrid jour- 

 nals conUin no news from the south of Spain, but 

 letters from Gibraltar mention that Mr. Bulwer had 

 not gone to Tangier merely to reinstate the Consul- 

 General of Spain, but to negotiate for the abolition of 

 the tribute hitherto paid by Sweden and Denmark to the 

 Sofereign of Morocco. Admiral Owen gave a grand 

 banquet in the Albion on the 16th, on the occasion of 

 the conclusion of peace between France and Morocco, at 

 which all the officers of the foreign ships of war lying at 

 Gibraltar were invited. — Letters from Bayonne of the 

 Jjtu state, that the reconciliation between the principal 

 men of the Esparterist and Progresista parties was 

 complete, and that there was every reason to fear that 

 their united endeavours would ere long succeed in pro- 

 ducing a new insurrection in Spain The French Mi- 

 nuter at Lisbon, M. de Varennes, and M. Cueto, the 

 Secretary of the Spanish Legation in the same capital, 

 were robbed, during the night of the 15th, in the Seville 

 diligence, between Valdepenas and Santa Cruz de Mu- 

 dela. The coach was attacked by four armed men, who 

 luffered it to proceed, after possessing themselves of a 

 lum of 16,000 reals and some valuable jewels. 



Germany — Accounts from Berlin of the 25th ult. 

 state that the return of the King of Prussia to his capital 

 after a tour of two months, was celebrated on that day with 

 great enthusiasm. The attempt upon the lives of the 

 King and Queen by the assassin Tscheck was made, it 

 will be remembered, on the 26th July, under the portal of 

 the Palace, just as their Majesties were departing on a 

 journey into Silesia and other parts of Germany. The 

 King has since visited the whole of his central and east- 

 ern dominions, and has laid the first stone of the new 

 building of the University of Konigsberg. His entire 

 progress has been a kind of ovation of loyalty, for at every 

 place at which he stopped addresses of congratulation 

 were presented to him from the towns, and even villages 

 lying in his course. His arrival in Berlin was welcomed 

 with rejoicings of every description, and the different 

 classes and professions presented addresses of congratu- 

 lation. On arriving at the Palace His Majesty passed 

 immediately through the open windows to the balcony of 

 the drawing-room over the gateway which faces the 

 bchloss-phtz, and presented himself to the people. This 

 was really a moving scene. The King, who was so 

 affected that he could not avoid shedding tears, was 

 ff Wl & the loud and enthusiastic cheering of from 

 10,000 to 12,000 people, who kept up for some minutes 

 their hurrahs, and labehocks (long live the King), throw- 

 ing up their hats and waving their hands. His Majesty 

 then stepped back and assisted the Queen to the balcony, 

 leading her with his hand to the front before the people, 

 one was in tears and quite overcome with emotion, but 

 .? u S^ffully to the multitude, and seemed deeply 

 •eniiWe of the affectionate welcome she was receiving. 



LI h \ " § u Queen remained nearly ten minutes on 

 we oaicony, bowing repeatedly in acknowledgment of the 

 continued cheering of the people, and amidst the chant- 

 £g of the beautiful melody, M Sie leben hoch und lange 



Vm / may y. ou live ma «y long long years). The King 

 was dressed in a plain military uniform, with a single 



rial.. •? n remarka bly well. In the evening the 



•noie city was illuminated.

i he C0 «tinuance ?f^ t8 fr0m St ' Petersburgh speak of 



€t °% on acco^ / "* e P rof ound affliction of the Imperial 



Alesandnna. The melancholy event made the deepest 

 impression on the mind of the Emperor, who has since 

 been suffering from determination of blood to the head, 

 lhe Princess not knowing that the Emperor, who had 

 left her bedside, was still in the chamber, asked for her 

 father s portrait, kissed it repeatedly, and requested the 

 attendants to place it by her side in her coffin. The 

 Emperor was so overcome by this last proof of the af- 

 fection of his daughter, that he fainted. The Imperial 

 family is now at Peterhoff, and it is doubtful whether 

 the Emperor will go this autumn to the southern pro- 

 vinces of the empire, as he intended.— The Paris Presse 

 mentions the publication of a recent ukase at St. Peter*. 

 burgh, enacting that in future, when a synagogue or an 

 Israelite school is to be erected in a street where a 

 Greco-Russian Church exists, it must be separated from 

 it by a distance of 100 khatters (200 yards). " Whilst 

 this measure/' adds the Presse, " was being adopted in 

 St. Petersburgh, the Polish Government at Warsaw de- 

 creed the addition to the form of the oath required of 

 Israelite recruits on their entering the army, of the fol- 

 lowing paragraph :— l I swear 'to be faithful to my 

 colours and never to desert, even were the Messiah to 

 descend upon earth.' "—The Holy Synod of St. Peters- 

 burgh had notified to the Catholic missionaries in 

 Georgia to quit the empire, unless they choof-c to be- 

 come naturalised Russians, and to cease in future all in- 

 tercourse with the Holy See. 



Turkey.— We learn by a letter from Constantinople 

 of the 7th that the Sultan, with a view to encourage 

 agriculture, has determined in council to send into each 

 province a functionary to watch narrowly over the agri- 

 cultural progress and wants of the inhabitants, and to 

 communicate with the Government on the subject. A 

 set of instructions, consisting of ten articles, has been 

 drawn up to guide these officers in their duties, and to 

 show the various populations what aid they have a right 

 to expect from the Sultan's paternal care. The new offi- 

 cers are particularly enjoined to encourage the introduc- 

 tion of modern improvements, as far as they are compa- 

 tible with the nature of the soil, and to favour the breed 

 of Merino sheep. — Mr. Cartwright, Her Majesty's Con- 

 sul-General at Constantinople, has received a highly flat- 

 tering despatch from his Government, in reply to his re- 

 quest to be permitted to withdraw from the cares of pub- 

 lic life. After enumerating his various and valuable ser- 

 vices, he is requested to withhold his application for 

 three months longer, when he will be entitled to the full 

 retiring pay.— The Primates Wutsitsch and Petronie- 

 witsch have arrived at Belgrade, where they were re- 

 ceived with every demonstration of joy by the resident 

 Servians, in which several Turkish Pachas jpined. During 

 the day of their arrival the church bells were set ringing, 

 and salvos of artillery were fired, and at night bonfires 

 were lighted on the 'heights of the city. 



United States and Canada. — By the steam-ship 

 Hibemia we have advices from Boston to the 16th ult. 

 The news, notwithstanding it extends over 14 days, is 

 comparatively barren of interest. There is no striking 

 feature, and the details are more of local than of Euro- 

 pean interest. The Oregon question is again becoming 

 a prominent feature of controversy, if we may judge of 

 the space which it occupies in the newspapers. Texas, 

 in her difficulties, is anxious to conciliate the good 

 opinion of the American Union.' Houston, the president, 

 has called upon the President of the United States to 

 protect him from the consequences of a war arising out 

 of the contemplated conflict with Mexico. Baltimore 

 had been the scene of extensive riots and conflagrations. 

 Several of the belligerents were in custody, and the affair 

 was undergoing prompt investigation. The intelligence 

 from the Isthmus of Darien confirms the advices which 

 had previously come to hand, that a survey had been 

 completed by the French, and that the result of it was 

 unfavourable to the junction of the two oceans. The 

 health of General Jackson was sinking. The Indians 

 in the Missouri are still active, and waging a fierce war 

 against the United States. In a recent conflict a party 

 of the Pawnees had eight killed, and the Sacs one killed. 

 — It appears from a statement, entitled the u Epistle 

 of the Twelve," that the Mormons intend to have 

 no further election of a prophet, as head of their 

 church, but that the succession to Joe Smith is given to 

 a band of 12 men, whom they call apostles, and who are 

 appointed to preach to the sect throughout Europe 

 and America. — From Canada we learn that the Gover- 

 nor-General arrived at Montreal on the 3d ult., to swear 

 in his new Ministers. The following constitute the Ca- 

 binet :— The Hon. W. H. Draper, Attorney-General for 

 what was formerly Upper Canada ; the Hon. W. Morris, 

 Receiver- General ; D. B. Papineau, Esq., Commissioner 

 of Crown Lands ; J. Smith, Esq., Queen's Counsel for 

 that part of the province formerly Lower Canada, and 

 Attorney-General for the same. The provincial Parlia- 

 ment had been further prorogued until the 22d October, 

 and not then to meet for the despatch of business. 



Brazils. — The Petrel packet arrived at Falmouth on 

 Saturday with advices from Rio to the 28th July. For 

 about ten days past, rumours to the effect that a Trea; 

 had been concluded between this country and Brazil 

 have been generally prevalent ; and it was stated that 

 the Petrel, which has been for some time due, was 

 detained at Rio in order that she might bring the Treaty 

 to England. The Petrel has now arrived, and it appears 

 that she was detained for some political object not gene- 

 rally known ; but she has brought neither a signed 

 Treaty, nor any authentic particulars respecting a nego- 

 tiation for one. Rumours are, indeed, still prevalent at 

 Rio on this subject, but they are so vague as scarcely to 

 deserve repetition.- --- • ' - 1_

dockaded by the British, has been almost entirely de. 

 atroyed by an earthquake. 



India and China.— The Indian Mail to the 27th 

 August has arrived this week. The news, though not of 

 a striking nature, is of considerable interest. From Cal- 

 cutta it relates principally to the new and late Governors- 

 General. Sir H. Hardinge arrived there on the 23d 

 July, and was immediately sworn into office. Hii first 

 act was to continue Mr. Bird as Governor of Bengal, 

 and on the next and subsequent days he held levees and 

 durbars. Prior to his departure, Lord Ellenborough 

 was entertained publicly by 200 officers of the army at 

 Calcutta, and he then declared that his chief regret on 

 quitting India arose from his separation from the mili- 

 tary service, which he highly prized. He embarked on 

 the 1st August on board the steamer Tenasserim, and 

 immediately started for Suez. A testimonial had been 

 subscribed to him irerth 1 00/., from the whole commu- 

 nity of India. The popularity of Sir H. Hardinge with 

 the military is likely to be increased, as it had been 

 rumoured m India, and as it was said on good authority, 

 that he is empowered to raise new regiments, to add one 

 captain to each of the actual corps, and to reintroduce 

 the punishment of flogging into the native army. This 

 last measure appears to be considered imperative by 

 the officers, especially since the occurrence of the several 

 mutinies which have disgraced the troops of Madras 

 and Bengal. The mutiny of the 64th regiment of Ben- 

 gal Infantry, which had been repressed by the decided 

 measures of General Hunter, had produced the moat 

 stringent proceedings on the part of Sir C. Napier, the 

 Governor of Scinde. The colours wen taken from the 

 regiment, and the trial of the 40 ringleaders of the mutiny 

 was going on with the greatest care ; it had commenced 

 on the 22d July, at Sukkur, and a strong example would 

 be made of those who should be proved guilty. — The 

 news from the Punjab represents tha' country as a prey 

 to anarchy and confusion, and the lowest intrigues of 

 assassination and plunder by the chiefs. Heera Singh 

 does not appear to be fixed in his power, and great com- 

 motions were expected to agitate the Sikhs in October 

 next, at the time of the great Hindoo f ival of the Dua- 

 serah, when all the native states are in the practice of 

 making war against their enemies. Dost Mahommed, 

 and his son, Akhbar Khan, have formed alliances (the 

 latter a matrimonial one) with Var Mahomet, the usurper 

 of the sovereignty of Herat, while they are also said to 

 be making arrangements with Heera Singh for aiding the 

 Sikhs in case of a conflict with the British, with a large 

 army, in the hope of conquering and pluudi ring the north 

 of India. These intrigues are well known, and are 

 expected to influence the future policy of Sir Henry 

 Hardinge. In Gwalior there were some intrigues 

 respecting the command of the Jhinsee troops, who had 

 mutinied against their chief, Bulwunt Rao, on account 

 of his great oppressions. It was said that an uncle of 

 the young Maharajah would obtain the command. The 

 succession to the throne of Holkar, at Indore, has been 

 settled by the elevation to it of a son of Bhow Holkar, 

 who had married a daughter of Hurree Rao Holkar. 

 The young Maharajah has assumed the name of Tooksjee 

 Holkar, and promises well. He is described as a manly 

 boy, and has conciliated the good- will of the people. 

 Considerable satisfaction was felt at Bombay in conse- 

 quence of the mails from London having arrived there in 

 28 days and 16 hours, and it was expected that the 

 voyage would be performed in much less time by pow- 

 erful vessels when placed on that station. The arrival 

 in Bombay of Sir H. Pottinger from China has been the 

 signal of great rejoicings. He was welcomed with ad- 

 dresses, dinners, ballg, &c. The Chamber of Commerce 

 presented an address, to which his Excellency returned 

 an answer, in which the late proceedings and negotia- 

 tions in China are reviewed. Sir H. Pottinger embarked 

 at Bombay on the 27th August, on his return to Europe, 

 and arrived at Malta by this maiL The news from 

 China is not later than the 21st June, the date received 

 by the last mail. It was brought to Bombay by the 

 steamer Driver, in which Sir H. Pottinger arrived there. 

 Great dissatisfaction was expressed at the meddling of 

 the French and Americans in the now settled affairs of 

 China. It is mentioned that Sir H. Pottinger, prior to 

 his departure, had introduced his successor, Mr. Davis, 

 to Keying, when they conversed without the aid of an 

 •nterpreter, which was considered a great advantage.

Election of Lord Mayor. — Michaelmas Day this year 

 falling on the Sunday, a Common Hall was held on 

 Saturday morning, for the purpose of swearing in the 

 new Sheriff* (Alderman Hunter and Alderman Sidney), 

 and to elect a Lord Mayor for the year ensuing. After 

 the usual forms had been gone through for swearing in 

 the Sheriffs, the Common Sergeant read the names of
