 ordinaiy durability when exposed to alternations of weather. 

 A prize was awarded for this Netting at the meeting of the 

 Royal Agricultural Society at Bristol, in 1842; and it is 

 strongly recommended to the notice of Agriculturists in the 

 Society's Report for that year. It will wear out several sets of 

 tarred hemp Netting, and is so light that a herdsman can with 

 ease carry 200 yards of it.— Sold in nets of 50 and 100 yards

From France we learn that the projected reform 

 of the Spanish Constitution is the leading topic in 

 Paris, and the journals of all parties, with one or 

 two exceptions, anticipate a popular movement in 

 Spain as the result of such extensive changes. 

 The Republican party openly declare that these inno- 

 vations have been made at the instance of the French 

 Government, with a view to their adoption in France 

 at some future opportunity. The Cabinet of M. Guizot 

 on Tuesday entered the fifth year of its existence, a 

 longer tenure of office than any Cabinet has enjoyed 

 since the Revolution of 1830. Accounts from Algeria 

 state that a serious insurrection has broken out in a 

 part of the country which had not submitted to the 

 authority of Marshal Bugeaud, before he started 



- 



for Morocco. The movement was quite unexpected, 

 and the French troops were compelled to retreat with 

 considerable loss. — In Spain the projected reform of the 

 Constitution has taken all parties by surprise, but the 

 precautions adopted by the Government to ensure majo- 

 rities, leave no doubt that the bill will be carried. The op- 

 ponents of the measure merely make it a question of time, 

 offering no objection to the destruction of privileges 

 which have always been considered t the bulwarks of 

 Spanish liberty, but suggesting only whether it shall be 

 done now, or deferred to a more favourable opportu- 

 nity. — From the United States, we learn that the elec- 

 tions throughout the Union are engrossing public atten- 

 tion, and that, on the whole, the return of Mr. Clay as 

 President is all but certain. In Canada, the elections 

 have led to great excitement, and the junction of the 

 Irish and French parties has caused some embarrassment 

 to the Government of Sir C. Metcalfe. Some disturb- 

 ances took place at Quebec on the arrival of 

 the news of Mr. O'Connell's acquittal, and great 

 excesses were committed by the Repeal party. — By the 

 Calcutta mail we have news from that presidency to the 

 18th September, and from China to the 29th July. The 

 accounts from India are not important, and the new Go- 

 vernor-General is taking advantage of the tranquil state 

 of the country to make himself master of the details of 



his office. Another riot broke out at Canton on the 15th 

 July, the Chinese having forced themselves into the com- 

 pany's Garden, and attacked the English and American 

 factories. The Chinese authorities were either unable 

 or unwilling to check the rioters, and the disturbances 

 were not suppressed without the assistance of the 

 military.

Baronetcy. — The Gazette of Tuesday announces, with 

 the date of Oct. 28, that the Queen has been pleased to 

 direct letters patent to be passed under the Great Seal, 

 granting the dignity of a Baronet of the United Kingdom 

 of Great Britain and Ireland unto the Right Hon. Wil-

 to return to England before February.

 u in state, for which such extensive preparations 



M j n ma ^' n S *° r some time past, took place on 



" a 7 with all the ceremonies incidental to such an 



jcision. On the importance of this event to the city 



ondon, and to the vast commercial interests which 



represents, it is unnecessary for us to dwell. Nearly

jesty, Prince Albert, and the suite, attended Divine ser- 

 vice in the private chapel of the Castle, and soon after 

 5 o'clock left the Castle for town by the Great Western 

 Railway, arriving at Buckingham Palace shortly before 7. 

 On Monday the Queen went in state to open the Royal 

 Exchange, accompanied by Prince Albert and the great 

 Officers of State. After the ceremony Her Majesty and 

 His Royal Highness returned to Windsor by the Great 

 Western Railway. On Tuesday the Queen took her 

 usual walks, and on Wednesday took exercise on horse- 

 back in the Riding-school. On Thursday" the Prince 

 came to town, and after visiting the new Summer Temple 

 in the gardens of Buckingham Palace, transacted busi- 

 ness at the office of the Duchy of Cornwall. His Royal 

 Highness returned to the Castle in the afternoon. — The 

 visitors to the Queen this week have been Sir J. Graham, 

 the Earls of Ellenborough and Liverpool, Sir R. Peel, 

 Sir Robert and Lady Sale. The Hon. Harriet Paget 

 and the Hon. Georgiana Liddell have succeeded the Hon. 

 Misses Murray and Kerr as Maids of Honour in Wait- 

 ing on the Queen. The day fixed for Her Majesty's 

 visit to Burghley House, the seat of the Marquis of Exeter, 

 is said to be the 12th inst. Her Majesty it is stated will 

 stand as sponsor to the infant daughter of the Marquis, 

 the christening having been arranged to take place during 

 Her Majesty's visit. It is reported that Her Majesty 

 intends paying early visits to the ducal seats of Strath- 

 fieldsaye, Arundel Castle, and Goodwood. 



Ministerial Changes — It is reported that Lord Had- 

 dington is about to retire as First Lord of the Admiralty 

 on account of ill-health, and that Lord Ellenborough 

 will be his successor. 



Order of the Garter. — Her Majesty has conferred the 

 Garter, vacant by the death of the late Duke of Grafton, 

 upon the Earl of Powis, who is also mentioned as likely 

 to succeed Lord Heytesbury as Lord- Lieutenant of 



j-wrtp. 



France. — The Paris journals are for the moat pari, 

 taken up with the proposed modification of the Spanish 

 Constitution, and, with one or two exceptions, anticipate 

 from it a popular movement. The Republican prints 

 are of course indignant at the proposed innovations, arrd 

 their party generally declare openly, that "those changes 

 were made at the instance of the French Government, 

 with a view, if they succeed, to imitate them in France 

 whenever the opportunity presents itself." We must 

 add, however, that even the Journal des Dibats expresses, 

 though with reserve, disapprobation of the proposed 

 changes, and regrets that the Spanish Government has 

 not occupied itself with practical reforms rather than 

 ■with general speculations. — On Tuesday last, being the 

 anniversary of the accession of the present Mi- 

 nistry to office, all the Members of the Cabinet 

 dined with the King at St. Cloud. The Ministry 

 has entered its fifth year. — The Deoats has an article on 

 the refusal of the Court of Aldermen of the city of London 

 to admit Mr. Salomons, that gentleman being unwilling, 

 as a Jew, to make the declaration required by law. la 

 concluding this article it says, " Such anomalies in 

 our age are a disgrace to the legislation of a free country. 

 It is an honour to France to have long ago effaced from 

 her laws these vestiges of intolerance and oppression. 

 Our political bodies, our civil functions, are open to all 

 religions and all classes. France may well console her- 

 self at not having, like England, certain liberties which 

 touch even upon licentiousness, in knowing that she has 

 the most sacred of all liberties — the liberty of conscience.'* 

 — The official papers announce that Commodore Bruat, 

 Governor-General of Oceania, has just received the 

 Legion of Honour from the King. They also state that 

 a serious insurrection has broken out in Algeria, at about 

 12 leagues from Dellys, in a part of the country which, 

 had not submitted to any of the three agalicks esta- 

 blished by Marshal Bugeaud before he started for Morocco. 

 A letter from Algiers, of the 20th, published in the 

 Steele, says there were 130 of the French killed and 

 wounded, of whom 15 were officers. 35 men and 2 offi- 

 cers were killed. The insurrection was quite unexpected, 

 for General Comman had, during the previous month, 

 sent troops through all the districts in the neighbourhood 

 of Dellys without meeting with the slightest resistance. 

 On the loth, however, he wished to go among a tribe 

 called the Flessat-el-Baher, where it was suspected that 

 a turbulent chief, of the name of Bel-Kassem, had taken 

 refuge, and organised a resistance to the French. He 

 there found several redoubts built of dry stone, which he 

 determined to attack. The redoubts were taken at the 

 point of the bayonet, but, although he had a considerable 

 body of troops under his command, he found himself 

 ultimately obliged to retreat. The retreat is said to have 

 been made in good order, but the enemy followed so close 

 that 12 men of the rear-guard were killed and 2 officers 

 wounded. At all events, the French army retreated in 

 all haste to Dellys, which tbey reached without once 

 halting, although the distance is 40 miles. Immediately 

 on hearing of the affair, Marshal Bugeaud left Algiers 

 with four regiments which had just arrived at Algiers 

 from Morocco. The number of the Kabyles is estimated 

 at 7000 men. The number of French engaged in the 

 affair was 1500 men. Marshal Bugeaud has carried with 

 him a reinforcement of 2000. A letter from Algiers of 

 the 14th inst., mentions that a report daily gains credit, 

 that the Due d'Aumale is to be appointed Viceroy of 

 Algeria, and that Marshal Bugeaud, when he reaches 

 France, will be consulted by the Ministry, who are anxious 

 to ascertain his opinion upon a subject of so much im- 

 portance. The Moniteur publishes three royal ordi- 

 nances, dated St. Cloud, 25th inst.— the first confirming 

 the adjudication made by the Minister of Public Works 

 to MM. Lafiitte, Blount, and Co., of the Amiens and 

 Boulogne Railroad ; the second confirms the adjudication 

 of the railroad from Orleans to Vicrzon, with branches to 



Ireland. 



Order of the Bath.— It is announced in last night's j Chateauroux and Bourges, to MM. Bartholony, Benoist, & 

 Gazette that the Queen has been pleased to appoint the Co. ; the third royal ordinance confirms the adjudica- 

 Earl of Ellenborough to be a Knight Grand Cross of the tion of the railroad from Orleans to Bordeaux to MM.
