      France . —All serious political discussions on affairs seems acjourned or suspended in Paris . The king is at En ; Mops . Guizot is going also into the country . The eabinet has come to no determinauon as to -what reductions are to be made in the military and naval establishmems . French minister ? are anxiou ? . to recompense Austria for its benevolence and support in the last stage of the Eastern question , by Eome reduction in the army ; and nevertheless they jiismiss a sildier with as much reluc : aace as a miser parts vriih a guinea . The levy of troops for 1841 is carried on with the greatest activity and

      rigour . Although the new law of recruttmeiit did not pass the Petr / , it is , nevertheleii , acted upon , and the 8 < J , < JO 0 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 lit ) , and three of " 20 . > iot a single armed vessel remains in the ports of the ocean . We understand , indeed , that in a little time gome of these large vtssels will be laid up , and their crews transferred jo sma ? , er ships . But matters will be so arranged ihat a fleet of twenty sail of the line can always be ai Toulon , ready for se 3 at a short notice .

      Spain . —" We have received a copy of the Manifesto of the Spanish regency in answer to the Protest of Queen Christina . It states that the protest wouic have b « en considered as 2 . private paper , if it had not been accompaujtd with a letter addressed to the Duke of YicUir a , ordering him to publish i ; in the Madrid Gazette . It then asserts that ths uadon only was qualified to choose a guardian for tLe queen , and that any authority dermd from any other source , 13-Jn itself null , and contrary to the spirit of the constitution . The regency go not deny that the queen mother was : named guxrdiaa by tLe wiil of Ferdinand , bu : that wiil and everything else concerning ihe royal family and the nation must be submitted to the ccrtes as far as public rights are

      concerced . It rs equally useless to invoke any other law of the monarchy , i-i ^ ce the chang es which harc tiktn piiCe in the con ; t . ; ut : on coa : rol and overrule these liws , and no power can exis : iu the state which dots not originate with the esis ' . iug legislative bodies . The answer concludes by calling oa the people to disregard an \ thing which dots not conjerecoamended by the cortes aiid the regency , assuring them thai the constituted government , supporter as it is by the laws , by the army , and by the national guard aud public opinion , wili triumph over the en- mi-. s of the couutry . The document is signed by the Dake of Victoria and Antouia Uonz&les , and dated August- * 2 . —The Carlist circles of Paris assure

      their habitues that a military movement is expected in Spain , headed by the guardsmen and the whole staif of the army . Christina is said to have despatched a valec and chamberlain to Madrid , and General Narvaez to ; he frontier . The former have been discovered and sent back . The K : ng of the French is said to have protested against the power of General Espartero , a .- regent , and Senor Arguelles , as tutor , to dispos-. ' cf the queen ' s hand , on which serious ac : the queen-mother , he thought , ought to have been placed in a position to take parr . The Spanish regent is said to have returned an answer that the cones , which must be consulted , offer sufficient guarantees of the interest of the state and of the royal family bein ^ boih consulted .

      SwnzEHLCSD . —The attention of the Swiss diet , says a letter from Berne , "has been unexpectedly called to alarming news from the canton of Tessino , which renders a federal intervention inevitable . The conquering party has exasperated the population by acts of Vengeance , violating the constitution and the laws of humanity . One valley alone has had to pay 5 ' 2 , C 00 liri extraordinary , to redeem itself from the military executions with which it was threatened fur having taken up arms against the government of lo £ 9 . The commission sitting at Locarno is daily pronouncing new proscriptions . Tba partisans of the former governmeiit are emigrating into Lombardy and Piedmont , where they are received" with the same hospitality as the Italian p rescripts met with ten years ago in Tessino . "

      BsLGirM . —Changes in the Ministry . —The MoniUur felge publirhes Toyal oTdonnaDces appointing Count Camilie de Bn « y to be minister of Foreign affair ? , in the room of Count Felix de Meulenaere , who resigns ; and M . Jean Smits , member of the Cnamber o * Representatives , to be minister of finances , in-the place of Count Camilie de Briey . The Indei'endent , in noticing the above , gays : — " Considerations of health , we are assured , have obliged M . de Meulenatre to relinquish his portfolio , but he will eominue to be a member of the council of

      ministers , so that nothing will be changed ia the spirit of conciliatiwi in which the cabinet was formed . The modification to which it has been subjected will be advantageous to the 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 finances ; » nd M . Smits has all the special qualifications and general qualities requisite for directing the lastnamed office . M . Smits has vacaied the directorship of the Bank of Belgium , and it has , by a royal decree , been entrusted , ad interim , to M . de Swert , one of the administrators . " The Ubservateur £ ays that Brussels has been struck with the utmost

      astonishment at the news of this ministerial change , which was not even suspected . The Belgian journals are alarmed at learning that the new tariff greatly augments the duly on linets . The duty is but 15 to 20 per Cent . But the classification according io the number of threads is such , as in some instances to raise the duty to 40 , and even 70 per cent . The Brussels Independent still blame 3 the ordonnance raising the duty on thread imported into Belgium , even though the importation is yearly decreasing and the export yearly increasing . Thus , Belgium exported but 1 . 324 OuO francs' worth of thread in 1838 , whilst the exportation of 1841 will at least be four millions .

      Ti-bket . —Ail ths letters from Constantinople observe that great attention was turned to the army . The Leipsic Gazette states that Mehemet Ali expected to become regent of Turkey , in case of the irultac ' s death . Mehemet refused 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 Ibrail , on the Turkish frontier , a body of Bulgarian exiles having found their way home . —The French government has sent M . BZanqui io examine into and report upon the state of Bulgaria and the northern provinces of Turkey . . It is also sending M . Emile de Girardin to the German courts to prepare the way for a treaty ei commerce with them .

      A Curiosity . —A farmer in the neiuhbouhood of Wirksworth , has now in his possession a lamb , perfect in all its part 3 except the hind legs , which have only one joint , and are hut half the length of the fore ones . Wnen standing , its appearance resembles ihe giraffe , and when moving from place to place , it leaps like a rabbit . It continues in good health , aud grows rapidly . Opening of the Jse-w Pabliament . —The address in ths House of Lords , in reply to her Majesty ' s speech on the opening of the new Parliament , will ,

      we understand , be moved by Earl Spencer , and be seconded by the Marquis of Clanricarde . The reappearance of Lord Spencer on the public stage , at such a time , and or , an occasion to which the nation looks with deep anxiety and almost unexampled interest . at the present crisis of its affairs , will be hailed with pleasure by all who remember the great ability and stern intf-grity by which , as Chancellor of the Exchequer and leader of the House of Commons , his lordship ' s whole course of public duty was distinguished , and recognised as so distinguished by all parties in the country . —Globe .

      Both Horns Bad . —The poor tailor , in the following 8 ketch from the New Orleans Crescent City , " fared no better on one horn of the dilemma than on the other : — " Will you pay me my bill , Sir I " said a tailor in Chartress-street , to a waggish fellow who had got into him about a foot . ** Do you owe anybody anything , Sir J" asked the wag ** No , Sir , " said the tailor . " Then you can afford to wait ! " and he walked off . A day or two afterwards the tailor called again . Onr wag was not at his wit's end yet ; so , turning on his creditor , he says , "Areyou in debt to anybody I" " Yes , Sir , " says the tailor . " Well , why the devil don ' t you pay ! " " Because I can ' t get the money . " " That ' s just my case , Sir ; I am glad to see you can appreciate my condition—give me your hand . "—New York Paper .

      New Mamtrb . —A specimen of guano , or of the dung of the guauo , a South American sea bird , was shown at the Liverpool agricultural meeting last week , by Mr . 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 ia said to be most powerful aud 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 lands on which these crops are usually reared . The wonderful effects of the sea fowls dung are mentioned by Sir Humphery Davy , in his Agricultural Cbemiptry . Together with nitrate of soda , which is obtained from the same quarter of the world , it is likely to have a great effect on English agriculture . Some of the farmers who were at the meeting last week spoke in the highest terms of the effects of nitrate of soda , particularly on their wheat crop 3 .

      Citt Court of Requests . —On Saturday , Mr . Hurcheson , the late candidate for the representation of the borough of the Tower Hamlets , waa summoned before the Commissioners of the above Court by Mr . G . Bagley , for £ 3 10 =., the amount due to him for seven days canvassing the electors prior to the election . Ii appeared the claimant had made several applications for the amount at the office of Mr . Hutcheson without success , and that Air . Bi .-hop , the agent of Mr . Hutcheson , ultimately refused to recognise or pay the demand . The claimant produced Mr . J . J . Kelly , landlord of the Ship and ii ! ack Horse , High-street , Shadwell , who Droved the hiring of the complainant , and who positively stated that he had the authority of Mr . Hutcheson

      and Mr . Stephen ? , the chairman of the central committee , to employ such persons as he thought were well acquainted with the neighbourhood and localities of S :. Paul's , Shadwell , St . John , Wapping , and St . George-in-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 the claimant wa 3 entitled to the amount claimed , and signed an order accordingly for immediate payment . Other decisions of asimilar description had been tried during the week iu the same Court , and it is said that Mr . Hutcheson has already paid upwards of £ 8 , 000 for the honour of being a candidate , aud without the honour of a seat in Parliament .

      Thames Tunnel . —Thursday week , at two o'clock , p . m , Sir Uambard Brunei passed through the tunu . M and ascended into the shaft on the Middlesex side of ihe river . The . small portion of the distance , abuu : twenty-five feet , now incomplete , is connected with the sfcafs on ; he Middlesex side of tho river by a driftway , through which , at the end of the tunnel , Sir Isambard passed . About an hour afterwards Mr . Hawes , M . P ., and Mr . Hntton , late M . P . for LJublm , sccompanid by Mr . Mason , one of the

      assistant engineers , also walked from Rotherhithe through the tuuucl a < vd the driftway to Wapping . Mr . Page , the acting engineer , wus in the shaft , and with the men received Sir Isambatd with Joud cheers , who shortly addressed the men , thanking them for their courage aid perseverance . Thus the great problem of the practicability of forming a roadway under the Thames , withoat interrupting the navigation , is practically solved . In a few months , it is expected one of the archways will be open for foot passengers .

      A Drunken Aristocrat . —Two hours after the opening of Wand » worth Police-court , on Mouday , Charles Villiers , of Borkeley-square , or , we understood , otherwise the Hon . Charles Villiers , brother of , or near relation to , the Earl of Clarendon , appeared upon his tail to answer a charge of being drunk ind incapable of taking care of himself and his hor * c . Police constable , 109 V , said that on Sunday rinht , 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 clear . Witness told him he bai no such article in his possession , when defendant attempted to pass on , but witness perceived that he was far gone in liquor , and the horse , which was a high-spirited one , kicked and pranced about very much , and the

      defendant being to-ally incapable of either maintaining his seat or governing his horse , witness considered it his duty to ta ^ e defendant to the station-house . Mr . Paynter— " I suppose you don ' t deny this , Sir . " Defendant— "Ob , oh ! I suppose—I suppose its all very true . " Mr . Farmer— " Sir , you might conduct yourself with more propriety when in a Court of Justice . " Defendant— " Ah , I bog pardon ! I ' m very sorry . " Mr . Paynter— " Well , Sir , I must fine you five shillings , the only penalty 1 can inflict . But let me tell yon that it partica ' arly behoves people in your high condition tf life not to commit these offences , but rather to S ' . t 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 was still in the preseaca of the magistrate .

      More Brutaliti . —On Thursday morning , as the passengers on board the S : ar , a Bristol and Tenby steamer , were about to land at Bristol , their ears were suddenly assailed by cries of a mosc appalling nature , intermingled with screams of " Murder , " which proceeded from the quarter-deck of her Majesty's gun-brig Nightingale , then moored in tho centre of Cumberland Basin . Ail eyes , of course , were rivetted upon this vessel , the persons on board of which were partly screened from observation by an awning , which complete !} ' 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 : — " I could see . a 3 plainly as I now see this paper , a

      strong powerful man striking with a cat , in the most savage manner ; and , after some few strokes , each of which was followed by heart-piercing shrieks of agony from the unfortunate wretch before him , he would draw the instrument of torture through his hand , and throw the clotted blood from it upon the deck , then open the thongs with his fingers , and vigorously resume , his disgraceful duty , which was contiuued until his victim fainted , and his screams sunk into a low and piteous moan which could yet be distinctly heard by the persona 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 flood-tide , a great number of persons were about the quays , all of whom vrere attracted by the screams from the gun-brig , and the expression of their indignation , wa 3 loud and general . So great has been the excitement in the place that ever siuce the occurrence a mob has assembled daily upon the sides of the Cumberland Basin , uttering fierce aud 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 , aud in the immediate vicinity of a highly-respectable part of the City of Bristol . "

Sharmao Crawford , the Member for Rochdale , at an inn in Belfast , on Friday , atad presented bun with a complimentary address , expressing their esteem for him aa a man , as a landlord-, as a magistrate , and as a politician ; aud concluding with a hope that he would long be found , in parliament , what he had hitherto uniformly proved mmseli to be , the friend and the advocate of the classes

      working- . The deputation expressed the universal opinion of their fellow-workmen , that the chief causes of the decline of their trade , and of the prevailing and increasing distress of the hand-looni weavers , were the Corn-laws , the dissolution of the Linen Board , and the swamping of the forty-shilling freeholders . Mr . Crawford complimented the handloom weavers on their enlarged views , and took occasion to read them a friendly lecture on the advantages of free trade . Before the deputation retired , he headed a subscription-list of tho wearers' emigration-fund with , a douatioa of £ b . —Speciator .

Sureties and security were soon obtained for the gentleman , but the youth , being a minor , and in poor circumstances , was committed to prison , as he could not find two sureties in the moderate sums of £ 500 each . Disturbances near Dudley . —A correspondent writes us as follows , under date of Friday . The commercial distress which has so long prevailed ir this neighbourhood ia beginning to bear its fruits iu 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 oi coal occurring , many of the miners have been put upon short time , and are uow only employed three or four days a week . In addition to a decrease of labour , the masters signified their intention of reducing the wages ef one class of workmen , called the thin coal miners , from 3 s . to 2 ? . 9 d . a day . This reduction the men resolved upon resisting , and on Wednesday and Thursday they congregated , aud proceeded to several pits where some men continue working ,-and endeavoured * to dissuade them from continuing at the reduced price . At some of the Works the men turned out , but at others the masters aud butties resisted , and the mob becoming strong

      on Thursday , they proceeded to cut the ropes at sinae of the pits ; rights ensued between the parties , and the police were called out . They , however , were found insufficient , and fears being entertained that more serious depredations would be committed , the magistrates sent an express to Birmingham for a troop of soldiers . About five o ' clock a troop of tho E . inirkillen Dragoons arrived , and headed by tho Rev . Mr . Cartwright , vicar of the parish , and Mr . Badger , magistrate of the borough , they galloped off to Park-hvad Colliery , belonging to Messrs . Martin and Evers , aud from thence to other works , but the main body of the mob had dispersed , and after stayiuji in the outskirts of the town a Bhort time the soldiers returned , and were billeted in various parts of the town . One young man , a native of

      Wolverhampton , said to be the ringleader , was apprehended , and committed in the evening to take hit : trial at the sessions . The officers are in search of others who are known to have taken part iu the affray . I caanot learn that any one has been 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 the soldiers are still here , in case of further outbreak , which is not anticipated . There are many hundreds out of work , and no prospect of being speedily employed . Tho commercial prospects here are iudeed of the most gloomy cast , and afford little hope that we can long expect a continuance of good order . By-thebye , the rain haa fallen in torrents here all day , and the little wheat about this neighbourhood has been struck down , and it is feared cannot recover .

      Dreadful Excitement jn a Court of Justice . —Croydon Assizes , Thursday . —( Before Mr . Ser . geant Taddy . )—John Watkins , 25 , and Henry Seton , 22 , were capitally indicted for assaulting and wounding George Collier , with intent to murder him . The assault took place at a booth at Ep ^ om races . The jury returned a verdict finding the prisoners guilty of assaulting the prosecutor , with intent to do him some grievom bodily harm . The learned Judge told the prisoners the jury had taken a merciful view of the case , for if they had been found guilty of the whole charge , their Jives might hare been forfeited . He was bound to pass upon them a sentence of transportation for fifteen yeara . The trwmeut the sentence was pronounced , ascenoensued The

      that almost dtfies descriptio ^ . prisoners , who are tm » 6 t powerful men , rushed to the front of tho dock , and with dreadful oaths declared that they had been " Bold like bullocks , " and they uttered horrid imprecations upon the judge , Mr . Keono 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 men , jumped into the dock , and a desperate struggle , then took place , during which some of the 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 the town in the

      morning were about the court , aud the intention of the prisoners was evidently to excite them te attempt a rescue , but they were awed at tho firm demeanour of the police , and did not attempt any violence , and the prisoners were at length removed to a strong room , where they were pHib in irons . It should be stated that the arrangementd for the preservation of order at these assizes appear very defective . The Sheriff has the duty of providing officers of the court , and the police have no authority whatever to act : aud when this outrageous conduct took place , Mr . Keeue found himself without any assistance ; and but for the almost accidental presence of Inspector Collier , and his men , if the prisoners' friends had interfered , Mr . Keene and his assistants must have been overpowered , and ono , or perhaps both , of these desperate ruffians have escaped .

      The Boy Jonks . —By a confused and unintelligible statement , said to be derived from the boy ' s father , it would appear that ten or twelve days after Jones had been released from prison , Mr . James , or ' York-street , Westminster , the landlord ot the boy's father , called and inquirod if the boy would like to go to sea , as he knew Captain Taylor , of the ship Diamond , bound to Port William , who would sail from the London Docks in a few days ( this was on the 1 st of July . ) Terms , it appeared , were agreed upon , but it was t * aid , beforo they were finally settled , the captain ' s approbation must be obtained . Jones ' s father was then informed that the Diamond had left the docks and sailed for Gravesend , and therefore they must follow it . Jones proposed to

      accompany them , when he was told that it would be better for him not to do so . They parted , and Mr . James , the boy , and q , stranger , a Thames policeofficer , started for Gravesend . . Nothing more was heard by the father until the Saturday following , when a uote was read to him , stating that on their arrival at Gravesend the ship had Bailed , and that the boy Jones expressed a wish to follow it into the Downs , in a few days afterwards his father received a letter bearing the postmark of Cork , oi which the following is a verbatim copy : — " Cork , July 7 , 1841 . — Dear Father , —I am glad to inform you Mr . JameB , his friend ( a police-officer ) , aud myself , since leaving Westminster , are well . I have experienced the utmost friendship from Mr .

      James . In earnest , I wish the same never to bo forgot . Having a good recommendation , I am happy and in excellent spirit ? . Finally , I hope all of you are well . Please to inform Mrs . James that Mr . James intends to take a tour through Ireland , and will 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 caiicol it , as it is crossed several times ; but sufficient remains to make it legible . ] E . Jones . My kind love to all my brothers and sisters , and I hope evermore they will become good ohildren . " In company with Mr . James and the policeman he proceeded to Bristol , iu 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 progress I am glad to inform you Mr . James has entertained me with 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 welljfiually , 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 are a most' graoious' ( query , generous ? ' ) people . I declare the same inasmuch 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 of deserving individuals , pursuant to establishing them in orderly courses , I 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 boars no signature or post-mark . The father says part of it appears like the writing of the boy , but ho cannot cleariy recognize it , at the same time he would not say that it was not his . On Friday week Mr . James , afier an absence of a month , arrived in London . He Faid 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 he has sailed , or is about sail for the Brazils , the agent observed that the lad hai a wig on his head , and inquired the reason ; the answer wa 3 , 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 alliu his power to obtaiathe boy a comfortable situation on board a merchant ship , and that he ( Mr . James ) had also promised to get a blind daughter of bis into an asylum .

      Thk Nw Pooa Law . —About nine o ' clock on Tuesday night , a fine . female child , about three weeks old , was left in the side slip of the shop of Mr . Cowle , pawnbroker , Borough-road , SouFnwark , 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 put apiece of muslin with sugar in it into the child ' s mouth to prevent it crying , and it was only by being kickedagaiost 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 workhouce .

      Supply of Coal . —It has been stated that the Welch coal fields extend over 1 , 200 Bquare miles , and that there are twenty-three 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 deduct one-half for waste , and the minor extent of the upper beds , this will afford 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 in 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-office Mismanagement . —Railroads have undoubtedly facilitated 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 bungling a way as the Post-office ; in proof of which every provincial newspaper is loudly complaining that letters having a few miles only to travel are twenty-four hours or more on the road ( the case with Bristol and North Somerset ) , and that though in some instances a mail is convoyed fifty miles in an hour by railway , letters are some- , times a whole day and night making a further

      progress of some half a dozen miles . It is an actual fact that when the cross-posts were farmed , as they wero sixty or seventy years ago , the correspondence of country districts was far more speedy and regular than it is in the ago of railways . There will come a time , we hope , when the Post-office system will be at least improved , or we may have again to revert to tho plan adopted in this city about the time to which we have referred , when a man gained his livelihood by running on fool to London with letters , setting off after the mail had left Bristol , and returning with answers sooner than the post could convey them . —Bristol Journal .

      A Leet Jurou Finud for Short Weights . —On Saturday , a meeting of magistrates for the Finsbury district took place at the Session House , Clerkenwell Green , when somu business of considerable importance was proceeded with , uud great interest was excited , in consequence of Mr . Child , the Inspector of weights and measures , having seized a number of short weights belonging to ono of the Leet Jury . It appears that the Leet Jury are extremely severe with their neighbouring shopkeepers , and complaints have long existed against them for the oppressive manner in which they have discharged their duties . Amoug the magistrates present were Mr . Russell ( Chairman ) , Mr . Kuight , Mr . Carpenter , Mr . Chapman , Mr . Warner , and Mr . Lambert . . Mr . John Hollo way ( the Leet Juror referred to ) of Southampton Wharf , Islington , was summoned for having three half-hundred weights in his possession of

      unjust weight . The defendant pleaded guilty . Inspector Child said that two of i .: e weights seized were one ounce short , and the other one was an ounce and a quarter . Perhaps he raijjht be allowed to say that he had taken tho defendant ' s weights for a slighter deficiency than was his usual custom , in consequence of Mr . Hollo way being a member of the Leet Jury , who wero very particular with their neighbours , and had Beized the prorious week halfhundred weights belonging to their brother tradesmen that were scarcely half an ounce short . The Chairman observed that this Court had nothing to do with the proceedings of the Leet Jury . Mr . Holloway observed that in so bulky a commodity as coal the deficiency could not affect the purchaser to any material extent . He could assure the magistrate that he had all weights corrected at Christmas last . The Court ordered tho weights to be forfeited , aud the defendant to pay a fine ot os .

      The Queen , the Convicts , and the Chartist Prisoners . — -The convicts at Woolwich have found favour in the eyea of her Majesty . Consequent upon her visit to view the launch of the Trafalgar , several men have been ordered to be discharged ; and so careful are the authorities of the 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 tho entire subversion of the good that has been instilled into them during their confinement . We like this excessive care , and we rejoice that the Queen has thought fit to extend her clemency in a quarter whera it must have been least expected . But is her Majesty not aware that , besides these convicts , there are others

      of her subjects who can scarcely be said to be tinctured with crime , enduring imprisonment of the body and torture of the mind , and to whom release would be a precious boon ? Is her Majesty not aware that there are many individuals in gaol for political offences—men , who , for expressing their opinions openly and freely , have been cast into prison by the Whigs , for doing that which the Whigs encouraged when they expected to be driven from power 1 Ia her Majesty , we say , aware 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 , bo 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 tho Chartists . If they have not actually scouted the patitions of tho 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 . We are delighted , as we said before , that the bosom of her Majesty has been moved to sympathy for her subjects ; but it is not a little extraordinary that her sensibility should be directed towards a body of men tainted , at least some of them , with enormous crime—while , in distant gaols , she has subjects who have been imprisoned for long periods , at the instigation of the Whigs , and for doing that which the Whigs recommended ; namely , advocating 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 Spitalfields . —On Monday evouing , James Tilt , one of the ushers of the court , and Sergeant Teakle , of the II division of police , reported progress to Mi * . Broughton , the sitting magistrate , at Worship-street policeoffice , under whose direction they had been engaged during the whole of the day , as 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 Hope-street , Spitaltields—empty houses , into which the greater number of the poor creatures had introduced themselves when unable to pay their way elsewhere Some of them liad 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 them and the few things they possessed into the street , in the presence of the different rate and tax-collectors whom lie had sent for with the view apparently of convincing them that the buildings were reduced to an untenanted condition , and not liable to their imposts . The manner in which the poor creatures were afterwards lying about the streets and under the railway arches , for want of other shelter , during several days and nights , has already been laid before the public . The usher and police-serjeant now gave in a long list 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 sickness 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 blankets and administering temporary relief in the most urgent cases , and an exact account of the disbursement was now rendered . The officers said that their inquiries had been directed only towards the poor people ejected from Hope-street , but they mentioned a most distressing case which they had met with , wholly unconnected with that matter . Having entered the house , 21 , Turville-street , Bethnal-green , Serjeant Teakle pushed open the door of an upper room , which he suDDOsed to be emrjtv . 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 ascertained upon inquiry , that it waa the family of a poor unemployed woman , named Mears . Every bit of furniture , and every thing that could be taken from their persons , without leaving them baked , had been disposed of to prooure food , and on Saturday , as their last resoaroe , their last 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 . Thev did not know the result of that 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 parish , but in many others bo application had been made . Mi . Broughton desired them to return and give some further assistance to the poor family of Mears , and to continue their inquiries into the other matters . He had just received a letter signed " C . and M ., Lincoln ' s innfields , " enclosing £ 2 for the relief of the poor families , and Serjeant Teakle himself said he had twelve shillings which he had received from some friends fox the same purpose . These sums the magistrate desired them to dispense as before .

We understand it was the corpse of a pauper in the Union Workhouse—the wife of a man named Frank Clater , and that owing to the reetor being out in Scotland grouse

      shooting , with his family , no clergyman could b * procured till the body was quite offensive .

And this is the man who is so groat a-stickler for public houses being closed during divine service , and no gambling being allowed , with many other good and moral ways .

      The Lath Mr . James Wood ' s Will . —Judgment . —The Judicial Committee of ihe Privy Council haying appointed Monday for giving judgment in the appeal against the decision of Sir H .

Justice Parke , aud the other Judges appointed to hear this case , took their seats ; at three o ' clock Lord Lyndhurst proceeded to give judgmenc , which he did in an elaborate and lengthy manner . Tiie decision overrules the judgment of Sir ILirbeefc Jenner , establishes the validity of the will , and gives the whole of the immense wealth of the testator to his four executors , subject to the payment of the codicil in favour of tha corporation of Gloucester .

      Opening of the Regent ' s Park . —On Sunday last , the greater portion of this park was thrown open to the public . A vast concourse of persons wero present on the occasion . The portion to which the public have at last been admitted extends from the villa of Mr . Goldamid on the south to the skirts of the Zoological Gardens , and from the " broad walk" parallel with Cumborlaud and Gloucesterterraces to the Marquis of Hertford's villa ; and when large quantities of filth shall have been removed from some acre and a half of long grass near tho north-east entrance , and the public shall hard worn themselves paths in various directions , the Regent's will not bo surpassed in extent or picturesque effect bv any park in the neighbourhood ef tho

      metropolis . The public can now walk along tha entiro southern boundary of the Zoological Gardens , and view gratuitously several " splendid specimens of the buffalo , the zebra , camel , & . c , but few visited it is presumed , can have failed to observe that , white the public are freely admitted to such a sight " all for nothing , " they will , in a few days , have been very carefully 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 estates in the Regent ' s Park , have not 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 his eye alone directed him—some two or three acres of the park ( it is said the Woods and Forests" have granted an additional four acres ) adjacent to the Marquia of Hertford's villa , and from which an admirable , though , perhaps , too inquisitive a view is to be had of the residence and the sweet little lawn in front of it . Workmen have already commenced digging holes for supporters 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 "protects , " the only portion of Mr . Goldsmid ' s grounds through which anything like a view ot his villa can be had from the park . From the west the

      way into the newly-opened portion of the park is across two small branches of the ornamental water , over which iron suspension bridges have be « n thrown . These bridges are of a neat and light appearance , and add much to the beauty of the approach , but the " 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 innumerable children . The " Woods , and Forests" have very discreetly not laid down any lines of path , but , as it was stated to our informant , have determined to let the public themselves first walk out their ways . When the public have thus signified cheir pleasure the paths will be properly attended to . — Sun .

      Sequestration of a Clekgtman's Income . — At Clewer Church , near Windsor , on Sunday , a circumstance occurred whichcreated considerable surprise and excitement amongst the congregation . The Rev . W . H . Roberts , the rector , who is considerably involved in debt , has been residing for some time past at that very convenient " refuge for the destitute , " Boulogne . During his retirement his duties have been performed by the Rev . Mr . Gould , upon whom an apparitor , from the Ecclesiastical Court , waited for the purpose of notifying to him that writ of sequestration of a portion of the income of

      the Rev . Mr . Roberts , arising from the living of Clewer , having been issued , for the payment ot his debts , it was his duty to read the same in the open church , at a certain period dariDg Divino Service . Mr . Gould , however , refusing to permit , this to be done , the apparitor stationed himself at the churcn porch , at the time the congregation were retiring . and there read the writ , from which it appeared that £ 780 a-year were to be sequestrated by order of the Bishop of the diocese , to liquidate various debts due to the Rev . Mr . Dapuia ana others , amounting to £ 1 , 069 6 a .
