France . —All serious political discussions on uaira seems adjourned or suspended in Paris . The kiDg is at Eu ; Mons . Gnizot is going also into the country . The cabinet has come to no determination as to what redactions are to be made in the military and naval -establishments . French ministers « e anxioua to recompense Austria for its benevolence and support in the last stage of the Eastern question , by some rednction in the army ; and uevertUcicoo they dismiB 3 a soldier with as much reluctance as a miser parts with a guinea . The levy of troopB for 1841 is carried on with the greatest activity and
rigour . Although the new law of recruitment did not pass the Peer ? , it is , nevertheless , acted upon , and the 80 , 000 men raised , drilled , and made soldiers of . Nor does the activity in the seaports relax . There are twenty sail of the line at Toulon ; three 120 gun ships , one of UQ , and three of 20 . Not a single armed vessel remains in the ports of the ocean . We understand , indeed , that iu a little time some of these large vessels will be laid up , and their crews transferred to smaller ships . Bat matters vrill be so arranged that a fleet of twenty sail of the line can always be at Toulon , ready for sea at a short notice .
Spain—We have received a copy of the Manifesto of tie Spanish regency in answer to the Protest of ^ aeen GLiLtiiia . It states that the protest frou ; d have been considered & 3 a private paper , if it had not been accompanied with a letter addressed to the Duke of Victoria , ordering him to publish i ; in the Madrid Gasette . It then asserts that the nation only was qualified to choose a guardian for the queen , and-that any authority derived from any other source , is in itself nuli , and contrary to the spirit of the constitution . The regency do uoi deny tW . the queen mother was named guardian by the will of r ' ercinand , ' but that will and everything else concerning the royal family and the nation mast be submitted to the ccries as far as public rights are
concerned . It is equally useless to invoke a : iy olhtr law of the monarchy , since the changes which have taken place in the constitution control and overrule these laws , and no power can exisi in the stale which does do : originate with the t-xistiag legioiatire bodies . The answer concludes by calling on the people to disregard anything " which does not come recommended by the cortex and the regency , assuiing them that the constituted government , pupported a 3 it is by the laws , by the army , and by the national guard and public opinion , will triumph over the enemies of the country . The document ia signed by the Dake of Victoria and Antonia lioczales , and dated August 2 . —The Carlist circles of Paris assHre
their-halitues jnat a military movement is expected in Spain , headed by the ^ uard = tLen and the whole Staff of the army . ChrLtira is sai J to have de .-patched a ^ valet and chamberlain to Madrid , auJ GeaerjI Narraez to the frontier . The former have bceu discovered and sect back . The King of the French ia said to have protested against the power of General Espartero , as regent , anil Sanor Argaalies , as tu-. or , to dispose of the queen's baud , on which serious ae ; the queen-mother , he thought , ought to have been placed in a position to take part . The Spanish regent is saiu to have returned an answer that the cortes , which must be consulted , offer sufficient guarantees of the interest of the stale and of the royal family being both consulted .
Swst ? eri , a > -d . —The attention of the Swiss diet , says a letter from Berne , " has been unexpectedly called to alarming nevrs from the canton of Tessino , which renders a federal intervention inevitable . The conquering party has exasperated the population by acts of vengeance , vioiauim the con&tiunion and the laws of huicaraiy . O : i-j valley alone has had to pay 52 , 000 iiri extraordinary , to redeem itself from the military executions with which it was threatened for having taken up arms against the government of 1839 . The ommissioo sitting at Locurno is daLy pronouncing new proscriptions . The partisans of the former ^ ovtrnmeat a re emigr&img into Loaabardy and Pjeamont , where they are received with the same hospitality as the Italian proser pts m « t with ten years ago in Tessino .

Beigioi . —Cha-nges i . s the MufiiTBT . —The Moniteur Beige publishes royal ordonnances appointing Count Camille de Briey to be minister of Foreign affairs , in the room of Count Felix de Meuleoatre , who resigns ; aud JI . Jcaa Sants , member of the Chamber of Representative ? , to be minister of nuances , in the place of Coun ; Camiile de Briey . The Independent , in rotirjeg the above , ? ays : — "Considerations of health , we are assured , hare obliged il . de ileuienaere to relinquish his portfolio , but he will continue to bs a member of the council of ministers , so that nothing will be chaDged in the spirit of conciliation in which the cabinet wa 3 formed . The modification to which it has been subjected will be advantageous to ; he administration and expedition of affairs , for it is incontestible that the Count de Briey is more suitably posted in the department of foreign affairs than he was in that of the fiuances ; and 31 . Smiis has a : i the special qualifications and

--Turkey . —Ail ihe letters from Constantinople observe that great attention was turned to the army . The Leipsic Gasette states that Mehemet Ali expected to become regent of Turkey , in case of the Sultan ' s death . Mehemet refuted to send any of his own troops to the Hedjas , but was raising a corps of Albanians for that purpose , whose pay is to be subtracted from the tribute . —Some troubles are said to have taken place at IbraU , on the Turkish frontier , a body of .

issw Mancbe . —A specimen of guano , or of the dung of the guano , a South American sea bird , was otown at the Liverpool agricultural meeting last week , by Jir . Shirring . It is likely to become a considerable article of commerce , as it is found in great quantities on the rocky coasts of the Pacific , and is said to be most powerful and concentrated of all manures . Applied at the rate of about two cwt . an acre , it produces very fine crops of turnips and grasses , and is particularly suited for the light lauds on which these crops are usually reared . The wondorful effects of the sea fowls' dusg are mentioned by Sir Humphery Davy , in his Agricultural Chemistry . Together with nitrate of eoda , which is obtained from the same quarter of the world , it is likdy to have a great effect on English agriculture . Some of the farmers who were at tho meeting last week spoka in the highest terms of the effects of nitrate of soda , particularly on their wheat crops .
Citt CotBT 0 ? Requests . —On Saturday , Mr . Hutcheson , the late candidate for the representation of the borougb . of the Tower Hamlets , was summoned before the Commissioners of the above Court by Mr . G . Bagley , for £ 3 10 s ., the amount due to him for seven days canvassing the electors prior to the election . It appeared the claimant had made several applications lor the amount at tho office of Mr . Hutcheson without success , and that Mr . Bi > hop , the agent of Mr . Hutcheson , ultimately refused to recosfuse or Day the demand . The claimant produced Mr . J . J . Kelly , landlord of the Ship and Black Horse , High-street , Shadwell , who proved the hiring of tbo complaiuaut , and who positively stated tb / . it he had the authority of Mr . Hntcheson
and Mr . Srephens , tho chairman of the central committee , to employ such persons as he thought were well acquainted with tho neighbourhood and localities of ! y . Paul ' s , Shadwell , St . John , WappiDg , and St . George- ;] i-the-East , and that he consequently hired Mr . Bag ' ey , considering him to be an active man as a canvasser . Mr . Kelly produced documents which completely satisfied the Commissioners that tho claimant was entitled to the amount claimed , and signed an order accordingly for immediate payment . Other decisions of a similar description had been tried during the week in the same Court , aud it 13 said that Mr . Hutcheson has already pxid upwards of £ 8 , 000 for the honour of being a candidate , and without the honour of a seat in Parliameut .
Thames Tunnel . —Thursday week , at two o ' clock , p . in ., Sir Isainuard Brunei passed through tho tunnel and ascended into tho s-haft on the Middlesex side of the river . The small portion of the distance , about twentj-five fest , noir incomplete , is connected with the tl . aft on the Middlesex side of the river by a driftway , through which , at the cud of the tunnel , Sir Isamtavd passed .

Thus the great problem of the practicability uf forming a roadway under the Thames , without interrupting the navigaiion , is practically solved . In a few monihs , u is expected one of the archways will be open for foot passengers .
A Drunken Aristocrat . —Two hours after tho opening of Wands-worth Police-court , on Monday , Charles Villiers , of Berkeley-squarf , or , we understood , otherwise the Hon . Charles Villiers . brother of , or near relation to , the Earl of Clarendon , appeared upon his bail to answer a charge of being drunk and incapable of faking care of himself and his hors .-. 1 ' jiice constable , 169 V , said that on Sunday night , about eleven o ' clock , he was on duty at Kingston-bottom , in the parish of Ham , when the defendant , who was on horseback , asked him for a cigar . Wirnc-is told him he bad no such article in his possession , when defendant attempted to pass on , but witness perceived that he wa 3 far gone in liquor , and the horse , which was a high-spirited one , kicked and pranced about very much , and the
defendant being toully incapable of cither maintaining his seat or governing his horse , witness considered it his duty to take defendant to the station-house . Mr . Paynter— " I Euppose you don ' t deny this , Sir . " Defendant— "Oh , oh ! I suppose—I suppose its all very true . " Mr . Paynter— " Sir , you might conduct your = elf with more propriety when in a Court of Justice . ' Defendant—" Ah , 1 beg pardon ! I ' m very sorry . " Mr . Paynter— " Well , Sir , I must fine ycu five shillings , the only penalty I can inflict . But let me tell you that it particularly behoves people in your hi ^ h condition cf life not to commit these offences , but ra ' . her to set an example of sobriety to those in an inferior situation . " The defendant hemmed and hawed , paid the fine , and put on his hat , which he removed , when reminded by the usher that he wassdll in the presence of the magistrate .
Moke Bhutalitt . —On Thursday morning , as the passengers ou board the Star , a Bristol and Tenby sreamer , were about to land at Bristol , their ear * were suddenly assayed hy cries of a most appalling nature , intermingled with screams of" Murder , " which proceeded from the quarter-deck of her Majesty ' s gun-brig . Nightingale , then moored in the centre of Cumberland Basin . All eyes , of course , were rivetted upon this vessel , the persons on board of which were partly screened from observation by an awniDg , which completely covered the quarterdeck . Sufficient indications were , however , apparent of the work in hand , and a spectator of the scene ghes the following detail respecting it : — " 1 conld see , as plainly as I now see this paper , a
strong powerful man Etrikiug with a cat , in tho most savage manner ; and , after some few strokes , each of which was followed by heart-piercing shrieks of agony from tho unfortunate wretch before him , he would draw the instrument of torture through his hand , and throw tho clotted blood from it upon tho deck , then open the thongs with his fingers , and vigorously resume his disgraceful duty , which was continued until his victim fainted , and his screams sunk into a low and piteous moan which could yet be distinctly heard by the persons on board the steamer . Among the passengers were several ladies , who were deeply affected by their proximity to the scene of torture and the frightful cries of the
victim ; and one of them was removed on shore in a state of insensibility . As the occurrence happened at fleod-tide , a great number of persons were about the quays , all of whom were attracted by th # screams from the gun-brig , and the expression of their indignation , was load and general . So great has been the excitement in tho place that ever since the occurrence a mob has assembled daily upon the sides of the Cumberland Basin , uttering fierce and bitter execration upon those by whose orders such barbarity was exercised and the Government by which it is sanctioned . It is to be observed that the transaction occurred within fifty yards of the quay , and in the immediate vicinity of a highly-respectable part of the City of Bristol . "

Disturbances neab Dcdlev .- ~ A correspondent writes us as follows , under date of Friday . The commercial distress which has so long prevailed ic this neighbourhood is beginning to bear its fruits in a disposition to rioting on the part of the colliers .
As you have been already informed through the local press , a great number of furnaces have been blown out ; and a decrease in the consumption of coal occurring , many of the minors have been put upon short time , and are now only employed three or four days a week , . In . addition to a decrease of labour , the masters oignifiod their intention of reduoiug the wajjes © f one claaa of workmen , called the thin coal miners , from 33 . to 2 s . 9 d . a day . This reduction tho mon resolved upon resisting , and on Wednesday aud Thursday they congregated , and proceeded to several pita where some naou continue workitig , and endeavoured to dissuade them from continuing at the reduced price . At some of the works tho men turned out , but at others the masters and butties resisted , and the mob becoming strong on Thursday , they proceeded to cut tho ropes at
8 ) me of the pits ; fights ensued between the parties , and the police were called out . They , however , were found insufficient , and fears being entertained that move serious depredations would bo committed , the magistrates sent an express to Birmingham for a troup of soldiers . About five o'clock a troop of the E . iiii .-killen Dragoons arrivod , and headed by tho Rev . Mr- Camvright , vicar of tho parish , and Mr . Bailor , magistrate of the borough , they galloped off to Park-head Colliery , betenging to Messrs , Martin and Evers , and I ' rom thence to other works , but the main body of tho mob had dispersed , and after staying iu the outskirts of tho town a short time the soldiers returned , and were billeted in various parts of the town . One young man , a native of Woiverhampton , said to be the ringleader , was a pprehended , and committed in the evening to lake hta trial at tho sessions . The officers aro in seaicii of others who
are known to have taken pan iu the uffray . I cannot learn that any one hits bacn seriously injured , though many of the men at work were roughly handled . During the remainder of last night all was quiet , and continued so , although tho soldiers are still here , iu case of further outbreak , which is not anticipated . There are many hundreds out of work , and no prospect of being speedily employed . The commercial prospects here aro indeed of the most gloomy cast , and afford little hope that we can long expect a continuance of good order . By-thebye , the rain has fallen in torrtiat . s here all day , and the little wheat about this neighbourhood has been struck down , and it is feared canuo : recover .
Dreadful Excitement in a Court of Justice . —Croydo . n Assizes , Thursday . —( Before Mr . Ser . geani Taddy . )—John Wat kins , 25 , and Henry Seton , , w : re capitally indicted for assaulting and wounding Goorge Coliieiy with intent to murder him . Tho assault took placo at a booth at Epsom racea . Tho jury returned a verdict finding the prisoners guilty of asiaukhig the prosecutor , with intent to do him soino grievous bodily harm . The learued Judge told tho prisoners the jury had taken a merciful view of tho case , for ii they had been found guilty of tha wholo charge , their lives might have beeii torfoilcd . He was bound to pass upon them a sentence of transportation for fifteen years . The moment tho sentence was pronounced , a scene ensued
that almost defies description . The prisoners , who are most powerful men , rushed to the front of t ) : e dock , and with dreadful oaths declared that they had been " sold like bullocks , " and they uttered horrid imprecations upon the judge , Mr . Koene and one of his assistants laid hold of them , and attempted to remove them from the dock , but their exertions were of no avail against the frantic power of the two prisoners . Inspector Collier , of the P division , and several of his raeu , jumped into the dock , and a desperate struggle then took place , during whioh some of tho constables were kicked and severely injured by the convicts . The court was in a state of the utmost confusion . The women shrieked , and business was completely suspended . A number of bad characters who came into tho town in the
morning were about tho court , and tho intention of the prisoners was evidently to excite them ta attempt a rescue , but they were awed at tho firm demeanour of the police , aud did not attempt any violence , and the prisoners were at length removed to a strong room , where they were put in irons . It should be stated that the arrangements for the preservation of order at these assizes appear very defective . The Sheriff has the duty of providing officers of the court , and tho police havo no authority whatever to act : and' when this outrageous conduct took place , Mr . Keen « found himself without any assistance ; and but for tho almost accidental presence of Inspector Collier , and his men , if the prisoners' friends had interfered , Mr . Kcene and his assistants must have been overpowered , and one , or perhaps both , of these desperate ruffians have escaped .
The Boy Jones . —By a confused and unintelligiblo slatemeiU , said to bo derived from the boy ' t ) iatlicr , it would appear that ten or twelve days after Jones iiad been released from prison , Mr . James , t > t i ' ork-strect , Westminster , tho landlord of the boy ' s father , callud and inquired if the boy would liko to go to tra , as he knew Captain Taylor , of the ship Diamond , bound to Port William , who would sail fmni the Lii'doii Docks in a few days ( this was on the 1 st of July . ) Term * , it appeared , were agreed upon , but it was paid , before they were finally . ^¦ Uled , the captain ' * approbation must be obtained . Jonca'iJ father way then informed that the Diamond liad left tfio dorks and sailed for Gravescud , and then foro they ai' \ st follow it . Jones proposed to
accompany ihun , . * hcn he was told that it would be better tor him not to do so . They parted , and Mr . J 3 mcs , tho boy , and a stranger , a Thames policeofficer , started for Gravosend . Nothing moro was heard by tho father until the Saturday following , when a note was read to him , stating that on their arrival at ( iraveseud the ship had sailed , and that ihe boy Jones expressed a wish to follow it into the Downs . I" a few days afterwards his father received a letter bearing the postmark of Cork , oi which the following ia a verbatim copy : — " Cork , July 7 , liUl . —Dear Father , —I am glad to inform you Mr . Jame 3 , his friend ( a police-officer ) , and myself , since leaving Westminster , are well . 1 have experienced the utmost friendship from Mr .
James . In earnest , I wish the same never to be forgot . Having a good recommendation , I am happy and in excellent spirits . Finally , I hope all of you are well . Piease to inform Mrs . James that Mr . James intends to tako a tour through Ireland , and wili not , therefore , return for ten days . I am on my road through Bristol . [ After the word' Bristol ' had been written , it appears that there was a wish to cancel it , as it is crossed several times ; but sufficient remains to make it legible . ] £ . Jones . My kind love to all my brothers and sisters , and I hope evermore they will become good children . " In company with Mr . James and the policeman he proceeded to Bristol , in which city they all stopped a fortnight . The next account received of the boy is contained in
a letter , dated Liverpool , July 15 , 1841 . "Dear Father , —In my progresi I am glad to inform you Mr . James has entertained me wi . h kindness . Our earnest views is ended . A pleasant voyage to Brazil with me , with a good captain . You will add a calm to my mind in believing your son hopes you are all welljfinally , I am in health . My writings or otherwise keep them with carefulness . Believe me , &c . P . S . England is a most magnificent country . Her inhabitants aro a most * gracious' ( query , generousi' ) people . 1 declare the samo inasmuoh as I have experienced a kind regard from several persons . At the present time I am greatly extolled by Mr . James ; his earnest views are promoting the welfare oi' deserving individuals , pursuant to establishing them in orderly courses . 1 trust I may declare that my kind friend in the present case is a neighbour who
has acted on a greater interest than generally . " The above letter bears no signature or post-mark The father gays part of it appears like the writing of the boy , but he cannot clearly recognize it , at the same time he would not say that it was not his . On Friday week Mr . James . afver an absence of a month , arrived in London . He f aid that the boy was going to the Brazils in a ship of 270 tons burden , and that the first voyage would occupy nine months . When the boy Jones was taken to the ship in which ho has sailed , or is about sail for the Brazils , the agent observed that the lad bad a wig on hid head , and inquired the reason ; the answer was , that he had recently had the " ringworm , " which his father declares is not the case . Jones says that he is satisfied that Mr . James did all in his power to obtain the boy a comfortable situation on board a merchant ship , and that he ( Mr . James ) had also promised to get a blind daughter of his into an asylum .

Thk Nbw Poor Law . —Abont nine o ' clock on Tuesday night , a fine female child , about three weeks old , waa left iu the side elip of the shop of Mr . Cottle , pawnbroker , Borough-road . Southwark , dressed in a white calico bed-gown , white checked muslin cap with three borders , and the skirt of a brown merino gown . The inhuman mother had pat a piece of muslin with sugar iu it into the child's mouth to prevent it crying , and it was only by being kicked against by a girl coming with a pledge that it was found . The parochial authorities were made acquainted with the circumstance , and the infant was taken into St . George's workhouse .
Sctpplit of Coal . —It has been stated that tho Welch coal fields extend over 1 , 208 square miles , and that thero are twenty-threo beds of workab ' e coal , having an average thickness of ninety-five feet . Each acre will yield about 100 , 000 tons , being at the rate of 65 , 000 , 000 tons per mile . If from this we dednct one-half for waste , and the minor extent of the upper beds , this will affsrd a supply of coal equal to 32 , 000 , 000 tons per square mile . Let it be conceded that 5 , 000 , 000 are equal to one-third of that consumption is England—then each square mile of the Welch coal field will meet a proportionate consumption of a hundred years ; and as there are from 1 , 000 to 2 , 000 square miles in this district , it would supply England with coal for 2 , 000 years after the English mines were exhausted .
Post-ofpicb Mismanagement . —Railroads have undoubtedly tacilitated communication between distant places , and might be made the means of a rapid system of epistolary correspondence . But we verily believe there is no branch of the public service conducted in so buDgliDg a way as the Post-offico ; in proof of which every provincial newspaper is loudly complaining that letters having a few miles only to travel are twenty-four houra or moro on the road ( tha case with Bristol and North Somerset ) , and that though in some instances a mail is conveyed fifty miles in an hour by railway , letters are sometimes a whole day and night making a further
progress ot some halt a dozon miles . It is an actual fact that -when the cross-posts were farmed , as they wero Bixty or seventy years ago , th « correspondence of country districts was far more speedy and regular than it is in the age of railways . There will come a time , we hope , when the Post-offico system will be at least improved , or we may have again to revert to the plan adopted in this city about the timo to which we have referred , when a man gained his livelihood by running on foot to London with letters , settingoff after the mail had left Bristol , and returning with answers sooner than the post could convey them . —BrUlol Journal .
A Leet Jurou Fined for Short Weights . —On Saturday , a meeting of magistrates for tho Fmsbtiry district took place at the Session House , Clerkenvvell Green , when some business of considerable importance was proceeded with , and great interest was excited , in coutequence of Mr . Child , the Inspector of weights and measures , having suized a number of ahovt weights belonging to one of tno Lcet Jury . It appears that the Leet Jury are extremely severe with their neighbouring shopkeepers , aud complaints have long existed against them for the oppressive manner in which they have discharged their duties . Among the magistrates present were Mr . Russell ( Chairman ) , Mr . Knight , Mr . Carpenter , Mr . Chapman ,. Mr . Warner , and Mr . Lambert . Mr . John Holloway ( the Leet Juror referred to ) of Southampton Wharf , Islington , was summoned jor having three half-hundred weights in his possession of
unjust weight . The defendant pleaded guilty . Inspector Child said that two of tr . o weights seized were ono ounce short , and the other one was an ounco and a quarter . PoThapa ho miuht be allowed to say that he had taken the defendant ' s weights for a slighter deficiency than was his usual custom , in consequence of Mr . Holloway being a member oi the Leet Jury , who were very particular witli their neighbours , and had sei » ed the previous week halfhundred Weights belonging to their brother tradesmen that wero scarcely half an ounce short . The Chairman observed that this Court had nothiug to do with the proceedings of tho Loet Jury . Mr . Holloway observed that in so bulky a commodity as coal the deficiency could not afiwet the purchaser to any material extent . He could assure the magistrate that lie had all weights corrected at Christmas last . The Court ordered tho weights to be forfeited , and the defendant to pay a fine of 5 s .
The Queen , the Convicts , and the Ch \ rti 3 T PnisoNEBS . — -Tho convicts at Woolwich have Ibuud favour in the eyes of her Majesty . Consequent upon her visit to viW the launch of tho Trafalgar , siveral men have been ordered to be discharged ; and bO careful are the authorities of tho morals of these individuals , that they are to go forth separately , lest by afterwards herding together in the town , they may contaminate each other , to the cntiro subversion of the good that bas been instilled into them during their confinement . We like this excessive care , and we rejoice that the Q ; ieen has thought fit to extend her clemency in a quarter where it must have been least oxpected . But is her Majesty not awaro that , besides these oonvicts , there are others
of her subjects who can scarcely bo said to be tinctured with crime , enduring imprisonment of tho body and torture of the miud , and to whom release would be a precious boon ? Is her Majesty not aware that there are many individuals in &aol for political offences—men , who , for expressing their opinions openly and freely , have been cast into prison by the Whigs , for doing that which tho Whigs encouraged when they expected to be driven from power ! Is her Majesty , we say , awaro that such men are pining and rotting in her dungeons ? Such , however , is the fact , and heartily do wo wish that , as the visit to Woolwich was made the occasion of royal clemency , so the late sojourning at Woburn and Pansanger may bo the signal for the discharge of all prisoners confined for political offences . The ears of the Whigs have been closed against all appeals for a mitigation of punishment
awarded to the Chartists . If they have not actually scouted the petitions of the people in their behalf , they have shut the door against all hope of the petitioners' views being acceded to , thus adopting the Tory system of" War to the knife "—war to extermination . Wo are delighted , as wo said before , that the bosom of her Majesty has been moved to sympathy for her subjects ; bus it is not a little extraordinary that her sensibility shonld be directed towards a body of men tainted , at least some of them , with enormous crime—while , in distant gaols , she has subjects who havo been imprisoned for long periods , at tho instigation of tho Whigs , and for doing that which the Whigs recommended ; namely , advooating the rights of Englishmen to have a voice in the representation , and the making of laws to govern the country . Surely such men deserve royal clemency if housebreakers do . — Weekly Dispatch .
The Distressed Families Ejected in Spital-F 1 E . LD 9 . —On Monday evening , James i'iit , one of the ushers of the court , and Sergeant Teakle , of the H division of police , reported progress to Mr . Broughton , the sitting magistrate , at Worship-street policeoffice , under whose direction they had been engaged during the whole of the day , a 3 well as on Saturday , in ascertaining the actual condition of the thirty- six families who were , on Friday se ' nnight , forcibly ejected from tenements in Hop < . ' . titrect , Spitallields—empty houses , into which the greater number of the poor creatures had introduced themselves when unable to pay thair way elsewhere . Some of them had been there many weeks , paying no rent , until at length a broker named Hardy , act ing , it is alleged , for the ground landlord , turned the whole of thom and the few things they possessed into the street , in the presence of the different rate and tax-collectors whom he had sent for with the
view apparently of convincing them that the buildings were reduced to an untcuantcd condition , and not liable to their imposts . The manner in which the poor creatures were afterwards lying about tho streets and under the railway arches , for want of other shelter , during several days and nights , has already been laid before the public . Tho usher and police-aerjeaut now gave in a long Itst of the cases they had visited , and described the terrible misery which they had witnessed in very many of them , where they saw the wretched parents , with children varying from four to seven in a family languishing with Bickness and want of food , and too frequently almost naked . The Three Pounds which some benevolent individuals placed at the magistrate ' s disposal on Saturday had , according to his instructions , been expended in providing bJanketsaud administering temporary relief in tho most urgent case " , and an exact account of the disbursement was now rendered .
The officers said that their inquiries had been directed only towards the poor peoplo < j « cted from Hope-street , but they mentioned a most distressing case which they had met with , wholly unconnected with that matter . Having entered ihe house , 21 , Turville-strcet , Bethuai-green , Serjeant Teakle pushed open the door of an upper room , which he supposed to be empty , but in a corner of it he found huddled together a poor woman and her three children in a more than half-starved condition . He called Usher Tilt to witness the scene , and they as certained upon inquiry , that it was the family of a poor unemployed woman , named Mears . Every bit of furniture , and overy thing that could be taken from their persons , without leaving them naked , had been disposed of to procure food , and on Saturday , as their last resource , tbeir l » st few rags were sold ,
which enabled them to procure a 21 b . loaf , all they had had amongst them . The woman said her husband was at last gone to beg relief from the parish officers . They did not know the result of thai application , but they gave her a shilling to get some food . They found in many cases they had visited , that a little relief had been received from the pariah , but in many Others no application had beeii made . Mr . Brought on desired them to return and give some further assistance to the poor family of Meara , and to continue their inquiries into the other matters . He hstfi j'isi received a letter ei ^ ued " < C . aud . M ., Lincoln ' s inufields , " enclosing £ 2 for the relief ot the poor families , and Seijeant Teakle himself sa / . d he had twelve shillirgs which he had received fro / ji some friends for the eame purpose . These sunm xhe magistrate desired them to dispense as before .

_ Sxate of the .

The Clerot . —Gone Gjiouse Shooting . —Passing through Bingham . this week , we were much surprised to hear it the subject of conversation , that the burial' of a corpse had been delayed several days , in that parish , owing to there being no clergyman to read the service over it .. We linderstand it was the corpse of a pauper in the Union Workhouse—the wife of a man named Frank Clater , aud that owing to the rector being out iu Scotland grouse shooting , with his family , no clergyman could b » procured till the body was quite offunsive . Now ,
we think that for the salary of £ 1 , 400 or £ 1 , 500 a-year—for this living is one of the best in tho three counties—the reverend divine could afford to leave some one to atteud to the spiritual wants of his flock , if he must go shooting . And this is the man who is so great a stickler for public houses being closed during divine service , and no gambl ' . rg being allowed , with many other good and moral ways . Verily , the church may well be iu danger , while those who ought to be its props are the sappers of its foundations . —Nottingham Review .

The Late Mr . James Wood ' s Will . —Judgment . —The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council having appointed Monday for giving judgment in the appeal against the decision of Sir ii . Jenner , relating to this great will cause , every approach leading to the council chamber was crammed to excess , aud aa soon as the door 3 were opened the rush was terrific Shortly after two , Lord Lyndhurst , tho Master of the Rolls , the Vice-Chancellor , Mr . Justice Parke , and the other Judge 3 appointed to hear this ca . se , took their seats ; at three o ' clock Lord Lyndhurst proceeded to give judgment , which he did in an elaborate and lengthy manner . The decision overrules the judgment of Sir Herbert Jenner , establishes the validity of the will , and gives the whole of the immense wealth of the testator to his four executors , subject to tho payment of tho codicil in favour of the corporation of Gloucester .
Opening op the Regent's Pahk .. —On Sunday last , the greater portion of this park was thrown open to the public . A vast concourse of persons were present on the occasion . The portion , to which the public have at last been adiautcd extends from the villa of Mr . Goldsmid on the south to the skirts of the Zoological Gardens , and from the " broad walk" parallel with Cumberland and GJoucesterterraces to the Marquis or' Hertford ' s villa ; and when large quantities of filth ghall hive been removed from some acre a , nd a half of long ^ rass near the north-east entrance , and tho public shall havo worn themselves paths in various directions , the Regent ' s will not be surpassed in extent or picturesque effect bv any park in the neighbourhood of tha
metropolis . The public can now walk along the entire southern boundary of the Zoological Gardens , and view gratuitously several splendid specimens of the buffalo , the zebra ; camel , &c , " but few visits it is presumed , can have failed to observe that , while the public aro freely admitted to such a sight " all for nothing , " they will , in a few days , have been very carofuJly excluded from too impertinent an inspection of the Marquis of Hertford ' s and Mr . Goldsmid ' s villas . , The ample portions of national property which have been " enclosed , " in order to fashion out private es ' atcs in the Regent's Park , have wot been deemed " charters liberal enough , " and on Monday a respectable looking person was measuring off , for enclosure , in the coolest and most
generous style imaginable—for hiseyo alono directed him—some two or throe acres of the park ( it is said the " \ Y 00 d 3 and Forest .- > " have granted an additional four acre *) adjaccit to the Marquis of Hertford ' s villa , and from which an admirable , though , perhaps , too inquisitive a view is to be had of the residence aud the sweet little lawn in front of it . Workmen have already commenced digging holes for supports to a high iron fence , which is to keep the public at a respectful distance—a similar enclosure of a couple of acres or more " adorns , " while it " protscts , " the only portion of Mr . Goldsmid ' u grounds through' which anything like a view of his villa can be had from tho paik . From the west the
way into the newly-opened portion of the park is acros 3 two small branches of the ornamental water , over which iron suspension bridges have been thrown . These bridges are of a neat and light appearance , and add much to the beauty of the approach , but tho " open work * at the sides , through which a good-sized calf might find its way into the water below , will allow nursemaids , and other careless guardians , to lose iunumerable children . The " Woods and Forests" have very discreetly not Jaid down any lines of path , but , aa it was stated to ouv informant , have determined to let the public themselves first walk out t / ieir ways . When the public hive tn » 3 signified their plirisara the paths will be proper / y attended to . —6 'un .

Skquestuatiok of a Clergyman's Incjme — At Clewer Church , near Windsor , on Sunday , a circumstance occurred winch created considerable surprise and excitemont amongst tho congregation . The Rev . W . H . Roberts , the . rector , who is considerably involved in debt , has beon reading for some time past at that very convenient " refuge for the destitute , " Boulogne . During his retirement his duties have been performed by ihe Rev . Mr . Gould , upon whom an apparicor , from the Ecclesiastical Court , waited for ihe purpose of notifying to him that a income of
writ of sequestration of a portion of the the Rev . Mr . Roberts , arising from the living of Clewer , having been issued , for the payment ot his dc-ins , it was his duty to read the same iu the open church , at a certain period during Divine Service . Mr . Gould , however , re / using to permit this to bo done , the apparitor Btationed himself at the church porch , at the time the congregation were retiring , and there read tho writ , from which it appeared that £ 780 a-year were to be sequestrated by order or the B . shop of the diocese , to liquidate various debts due to thu Hev . air , Dapuis and others , amounting
to £ 1 , 069 Ha .
