Bell, of the Hazard, for the interruption. Lieut. Rose, 

 by permission of his Commander, has come to England 

 E to lay the affair before the Admiralty.— The Duke of 

 £ Glucksberg left Pari* on Saturday for Madrid, from 

 jg which place- he w : " "eed immediately to Morocco. 

 " Jfe is the hearer on *« of peace between France 



ftnd Morocco, ratified ., French Government. As 



a recompense for his ser\. the Morocco affair, the 



King has appointed the DuKuaji Glucksberg an officer of 

 the Legion of Honour. — The Op] ition papers declare 

 that Marshal Bugeaud has declared himself greatly dis- 

 satisfied with the terms upon which peace has been con- 

 cluded with Morocco, and that the same feeling is pre- 

 valent throughout the' army. The Revue de Paris says 

 that the Ministry has serious intentions of raising the 

 French possessions in Algiers, and to appoint the Due 

 d'Aumale Viceroy, with very extensive powers. The 

 Emperor of Morocco had accepted the mediation of 

 France for the adjustment of his differences with Den- 

 mark and Sweden, and it was believed that he would re- 

 nounce the tribute paid to him by those two Powers in 

 virtue of ancient treaties. — The adjudication of the 

 Orleans and Bordeaux and Orleans and Vierzon rail- 

 roads took place at Paris on Wednesday, when the 

 Minister of Public Works proceeded to open the sealed 

 tenders, which had been deposited by three companies, 

 represented by Messrs. Rothschild, Drouillard, and 

 Mackenzie. The maximum of the assignment was fixed 

 at 11 years. Messrs. Mackenzie, Paterson, and Co. 

 offered to take it for 28 years all but 17 days; Baron 

 RothschilJ, for 31 years and 9 days ; and M. Drouillard, 

 for 86 years and one day. Messrs. Mackenzie and Co., 

 being the lowest bidders, were declared the recipients. 

 The Orleans and Vierzon railroad was subsequently adju- 

 dicated to M. Bartholony, the representative of the 

 Orleans Company, for 39 years and 11 months, the maxi- 

 mum fixed by the Minister being '10 years. The two 

 companies bidding for that road had previously coalesced. 

 The Orleans Company was to have 3-5tha, and the other 

 the rem tinder. The shares of the Mackenzie Company, 

 which opened at GOf. pm., closed at lOOf. 



Spain. — Our accounts from Madrid are of the 30th 

 ult. It was believed that the Marquis de Miraflores 

 would be appointed President of the Senate. A depu- 

 tation of the province of Guipuzcoahad waited upon the 

 Queen, to thank Her Majesty for restoring the old and 

 liberal institutions of the Basque Provinces ; " a model," 

 said Don Pedro Egana, its president, " of the wisdom of 

 the times long gone by, and a monument of government 

 and administration which might serve as a lesson to 

 modern times. " The Queen promised her protection 

 to the Basque people, and Maria Christina, to whom 

 M. Egana also addressed a speech, replied, that nothing 

 was more grateful to her than the title of mother of 

 those noble provinces, which he had bestowed on her. 

 General Narvaes was still pursuing his system of reform 

 and economy. He intended to suppress all the military 

 inspections, a measure which would save a considerable 

 expense. Preparations were making for the opening of 

 the session, to which it was intended to give the greatest 

 eclat. The drawing up of the speech from the throne 

 was to be intrusted to M. Martinez de la Rosa. 



Portugal.— We have Lisbon news to the 1st inst. 

 Ine Cortes met on the previous day, and incidental ques- 

 tions of confidence in Senhor Cabral's Government had 

 been raised in both Chambers, and carried by consider- 

 able majorities in his favour. The majority in the De- 

 puties was numerically the same as in the previous ses- 

 sion. The tobacco, soap, and gunpowder contracts had 

 been let most advantageously for 1521 contos, with the 

 condition annexed of a loan of 1,000,000 sterling to Go- 

 vernment, at 5 per cent, and at par, to be redeemed 

 withm 23 years. The local capitalists were full of con- 

 fidence in the Government, and its position had not been 

 firmer at any previous period. The Railway Chronicle 

 states that a proposal has been submitted to the Govern- 

 ment of Portugal for the construction of a line of rail- 

 way from Lisbon to Oporto, through Santarera and 

 Coimbra. The project has been warmly taken up b v 

 many influential capitalists at Lisbon, as also by parties 

 connected with Portugal in this country. The nece^rv 

 capital is to be raised ho|f;- *. 



for several weeks past has been the scene of an extraor- 

 dinary pilgrimage from all parts of Catholic Europe, in 

 honour of a relic supposed to be the gown worn by our 

 Saviour. The exhibition of this relic commenced on the 

 26th August, and since that time no less than 800,000 

 pilgrims have visited Treves. — It appears by a letter from 

 Vienna, of the 20th ult., that the Emperor of Austria has 

 positively ordered the suppression of lotteries in his states 

 from the 1st January next. The persons who keep the 

 lottery-offices, and whose appointments were all for life, 

 are to receive a small pension and a sum of money out 

 of the profits of the lotteries for the present year. — A 

 letter from Leipzig of the 29th contains the following 

 paragraph :— " I must acquaint you with an affair which 

 causes a great sensation here, because ill-disposed jour- 

 nals may very likely spread all sorts of false statements 

 respecting it. His Majesty the King of Saxony, before 

 his journey to England, made purchase of a Jewish 

 jeweller to the amount of 30,000 dollars for presents. 

 On distributing them it appeared that most of the stones 



were false, for which reason the return of all the presents 

 is requested." 



Italy. — Letters from Naples of the 27th, mention 

 that the political prisoners who have been imprisoned 

 in the Castle of St. Elmo for the last six months on sus- 

 picion of being implicated in the insurrection in Calabria 

 have been set at liberty. It is said that the Government 

 did not bring them to trial, as they were afraid of an 

 acquittal. Great preparations are making in Naples for 

 the marriage of the Due d'Aumale with the Princess of 

 Salerno, which is expected to take place about the 

 beginning of November. — It is believed that the report 

 circulated by the German papers of a contemplated 

 Italian customs union is untrue, or at best premature. 

 At the scientific meeting the question was the theme of 

 conversation, but without the slightest intention of carry- 

 ing the principle practically into effect. — The Papal 

 Government ha3 rejected the proposition of an English 

 Company to construct a railroad between Civita Vecchia 

 and Rome. It is only of late years that a diligence has 

 been allowed to ply in the Papal States ; a railroad, 

 therefore, would seem to be a step in advance reserved 

 for another age.— The King of the French has, through 

 his Ambassador'at the Court of the Holy See, caused a 

 liberal donation to be presented to the commissioners 

 constituted at Rome for the purpose of erecting a monu- 

 ment in memory of Tasso. 



Greece.— Our accounts from Athens are of the 19th, 

 on which day the session of the Chambers was opened by 

 the King in person. His Majesty's speech contains 

 nothing to call for particular notice. No public business 

 was entered into after tin delivery of the King's speech, 

 so that the feeling of the Chamber in respect to the new 

 ministry was not yet known. The first anniversary of 

 the revolution of the 15th September was celebrated as a 

 national file. The King and Queen attended a solemn 

 thanksgiving in the principal church, the whole of the 

 troops were under arms, and in the evening the city was 

 illuminated. A subscription dinner was given to Colletti 

 and Metaxa, at which according to the Ministerial papers 

 they were enthusiastically received. Between 300 and 

 400 persons were present, and among them a great 

 number of deputies, senators, and all the principal func- 

 tionaries. 



Turkey and Egypt. — From Constantinople we 

 learn that the question of the Government of the 

 Lebanon has been at length settled, and the indemnity 

 to be paid by the Druses to the Maronites has been de- 

 finitively arranged. The indemnity has been fixed at 

 1.3,000 purses, of which the Druses are to pay 3000, and 

 the Porte the rest. The Government will remain as 

 settled by the Porte and the five European Powers in 

 1542 and the Maronite Christians are to be protected 

 in future. The country is in a state of the greatest tran- 

 qmllity.—The revolt of the political convicts in the salt

the German papers is confirmed by these accounts from 

 Gonstantinople.-From Alexandria we learn that the dis- 

 appearance of a young Christian had revived the com- 

 lamts against the Jews which were, some years back, 

 wrought against their brethren of Damascus, and they 

 vere ch^ed with having killed him in order that his 

 ).ood might be spread over their unleavened bread, 

 the Facha, however, would not listen to the story, and 

 rdered the young man to be sought for and found.

Court of Aldermen.— On Wednesday a'Court was 

 held at which Mr. Sheriff Sidney was sworn in as alder- 

 man of Billingsgate-ward. It was expected that Mr 

 Salomons would have appeared to be sworn in as alder- 

 man of Portsoken-ward, but the Lord Mavor explained 

 that he had agreed to postpone his appearance, as it 

 would have been inconvenient for Mr. Salomons to 'attend 

 on that day ; Tuesday next was therefore appointed for 

 the purpose. It was then resolved that an address of 

 welcome and congratulation be presented to the King of 

 the French on his arrival in this country.— On Thursday 

 the Court of Common Council adopted an address to 

 His Majesty, which was, with the exception of one 

 paragraph, precisely similar to that adopted by the Court 

 of Aldermen. The two Courts being thus completely 

 united in sentiment on the subject, will go up together 

 with a joint address. 



Murder of an Englishman at Calais.— Accounts have 

 been received from Calais, stating that a sad event which 

 occurred at an early hour on Suuday morning has thrown 

 that town into a state of excitement. The Commissaire 

 of Police for Passports, M. Salior, had been drinking on 

 Saturday night with a Mr. Thorne, an English surgeon, 

 at which time they were apparently on very friendly 

 terms; when, about 1, a.m., they went to the Commis- 

 saire's office together, for what reason is not known, 

 when a dispute arose, and the Commissaire stabbed the 

 other to the heart with a poignard, which was discovered 

 in the office. Mr. Thorne fell on the floor, and died in- 

 stantly. He was a quiet man, who has resided at Calais 

 several years, and has left a widow and several children. 

 There is a report that M. Salior owed Mr. Thorne money 

 lost at cards. M. Salior spoke English remarkably well, 

 and had formerly been an actor. He was given into 

 the custody of the gens d'armes, who detained iiim at his 

 own house till the arrival of the Procureur du Roi from 

 Boulogne. 



The Royal Exchange.— \t is generally supposed that 

 the 23d inst. will be the day en which Her Majesty will 

 visit, the City, on the occasion of opening the Royal 

 Exchange. On the arrival of Her Majesty and Prince 

 Albert at Temple-bar, attended by the great officers of 

 state, thc Lord Mayor and the different civic authorities 

 will be in waiting to meet the royal cortege, and pre- 

 cede the Queen and royal party along Fleet-street, up 

 Ludgate-hill, through St. Paul's Churchyard, and by 

 Cheapside to the western entrance of the Royal Ex- 

 change, where a temporary carriage way is in forma- 

 tion, to admit Her Majesty to alight at the steps of the 

 portico. On the Queen descending from the Royal 

 carriage the chairmen and members of the Gresham and 

 Corporation Committees are to receive Her Majesty. It 

 is not yet known whether Her Majesty will walk round 

 the merchants' area, or proceed direct to the subscrip- 

 tion-room of Lloyd's, where the banquet is to take place. 

 The committee have decided on an entertainment in the 

 merchant's area, where the number to be accommodated 

 is stated to be 1800. The regiment of Royal Horse 

 Guards, it is said, are to keep the carriage way along the 

 route, and, after a certain hour of the day, no public 

 vehicle or carriage will be permitted to pass through the 

 leading 1 thoroughfares of the city, except those of the 

 state officers and nobility invited to be present at the 



ceremony. . . -^ 



Westminster Improvements.— A meeting of the inha- 

 bitants was held last week to consider certain defects in 

 the new plans for the Westminster improvements. Ine 

 following are some of the defective points which it was 

 agreed to lav before the Commissioners of Woods ana 

 Forests :-lst. By " Rigby Wason's altered line, West- 

 minster Abbey, which ought to be thrown open to public 

 view, is left equally as obscure as now. 2d. Instead o 

 a direct line to Pimlico, from Westminster Abbey, it is 

 a curved street from Westminster Abbey to \ auxhau- 

 bridge-road. 3d. It does not improve the approaches 

 to the palace, but diverges farther and farther from k 

 every yard it proceeds. 4th. It leaves the s ewe f a S?^ r 

 Westminster unimproved, and does not touch the dw 



lanes, courts, and alleys branching out of York-street, in 

 the neighbourhood of the palace, which are a constant 

 source of malaria, and consequent fever, lhere wer 

 other points of objection, but the foregoing were consi- 

 dered such radical defects, that it was thought it would 

 only be needful to call the attention of all parties w 

 them, to insure its rejection. A subscription was 

 entered into, and a committee formed to take the neces- 

 sary steps. M , f r 

 The Mysterious Case at Stepney.— On Monday, ror 



the third time, the inquest was resumed on the body 

 Samuel Cornish, late steward of the royal mail steam- 

 packet Dee, who was poisoned with arsenic. IM P« - 

 culars of the case were given in our last. As the e
