      Fiunce . —Ail serious political discussions on ifiairs seems adjourned or suspended in Paris . The king is &t £ u ; Mons . Guizot 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 are anxious to recompense Austria for its benevolence and support in the last stage of the Eastern question , by some reduction in the army ; and iiBYertUclcno they dismiB 3 a soldier with as much reluctance as a miser parts with a guinea . The levy of troopB for 18-41 is carried on rrith 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 ihe activity in the seaports relax . There aret-wtnty sail of the line at Toulon ; three 120 gun Ehips , one of 110 , and three of 20 . Not a single armed vessel remains in the ports of the ocean . "We understand , indeed , that in a little time some of these large vessels tviII be laid up , and their crews transferred to smaller ships . Bat matters Trill be so arranged that a fleet of twenty sail of the line can always be at Toulon , ready for sea at a short notice .

      Spais—y » e have received a copy of the Manifesto of tie Spanish regency in answer to the Protest of Vueen Chiistiiia . It states that the protest woujd have been considered a 3 a private p 3 per , if it bad not been accompanied with a letter addressed to the Duke of Victoria , ordering him to publish i ; in the Madrid Gazette . It then asserts that the nation Only was qualified to choose a guardian for the queen , andnhat any authority derived from any other source , is in itself null , and contrary to the spirit of the constitution . The regency do not deny tl at the queen mother was named guardian by the will of Ferdinand , ' but that will and everything cbe concerning the royal family anJ the nation mast be submitted to the ccrtes as far as public rights are

      concerned . It is equally useless to invoke a : iy other law of the monarchy , since the changes which h ^ ve tiken place in the constitution control and overrule these laws , and no power can exiv . in the stale which does no : originate with ihe existing legislative bodies . The answer concludes by calling on the people to disregard anything " which does not come recommended by the cortex and the regency , assuring them that the constituted government , eupported 33 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 is signed by the Dake of Victoria and Antonia Gonzales , and da ; ed August " 2 . —The Carlist circles of Paris assure

      their-habitues that a military movement is expected in Spain , headed by the ^ uartignieu und the whole Staff of the srmy . Chris-tira is said to have de .-patched a ^ valet and chamberlain to iladrid , ar : J General Narvaez to the frontier . The former have bceu discovered and sent back . The King of the French ii said to have protested against the power of General Espartero , as regent , and S ^ nor Argnoiies , as tu-or , to dispose of the queen ' s hand , on which serious - ac : the queen-mother , he thought , ought to have bten placed in a position to take part . The Spanish regent is sa . u to have returned an answer that ihe cortes , which must be consulted , offer sufficient guarantees of the interest of the state and of the royal famiiy being both consulted .

      SwiT ?' ERiA > -D . —The attention of the Swiss diet , says a letter from Berne , " has been unexpectedly call » d to alarming news from the canton of Tessino , which renders a federal intervention inevitable . The conquering party has exasperated the pop-. ilation by acts of vengeance , Tioia : iiiH the con&tiunion and ttie laws of humanity . On-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 commission Bitting at Locarno is daLy pronouncing new proscriptions . The partisans of the former ^ ovcrnmest arc emigraiirjj into Lombardy and Pjeamont , where they are received with the same hospitality as the Italian proser ^ pt ; nut with ten yeara ago in Tessino .

      Belgium . —Changes i . n the MuaiTBT . —The Moniteur Beige publishes royal ordonnances appointing Count Camilla de Briey to be minister of Foreign affairs , in the room of Count Felix de Meulenatre , who resigns ; and JI . Jean Smits , rneaiber of the Chamber of Representative ? , to be minister of finances , in the place of Coun ; Camiile de Briey . The Independent , in cotincg the above , says : — "Considerations of health , we are assured , have obliged il . de ileuienaire to relinquish his portfolio , but he ¦ wi ll continue to be a member of the council of ministers , so that nothing will be changed in the spirit of CDiiCiliauozi in winch 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 incomestib ' . e that the Connt de Briey is more suitably posted in the department of foreign affairs than he was in that of the finances ; and II . Smiis has ail the special qualifications and

      general qualities requisite for directing the lastiiataoa oiike . M . Smus has vaca' . ed the directorship of the Bank of Belgium , and it has , by a royal decree , been eutmsied , ad interim , to 31 . de Swert . or- _ tf ihe administrators . " The Observatevr fays that E : u- ? eis has been struck with the utmost astoiiii . i ^' . iit at the news cf t » is ministerial changp , which was net even susroeted . The Belgian journals are alarmed at learni :-g that the new tariff greatly a-umenls the duly en linens . The duty is tu : 15 to - -J per cent . But the classification according to the number cf threads is such , as in some instanced to r . - > : ;' ro duty to 40 , and even 70 per cent . Tr . e b ; u >> , iis L-t-lepcndcnt still blames the oruormar .-ce' raisTEgthe cu ;> on thread imported into Belgium , even tnough . the importation is yearly decreasing and the export veirly increasing . Thus , Belgium exported but 1 . 321 OiO francs' worth of thread in JS 38 , whilst the exportation of 1841 wiil at least be lour r . _ iil oE =.

      New Mancee . —A specimen of guano , or of the dung of the guano , a South American sea bird , was ahavra 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 Pacifio , 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 lands " on which these crops are usually reared . The wonderful effects of the sea fowls' dusg are mentioned by Sir Humphery Davy , in his Agricultural Chemistry . Together with nitrate of sod * , whioh 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 wtro at tho meeting last week spoko in the highest terms of the effects of nitrate of soda , particularly on their wheat crops .

Hutcheson , the late candidate for the representation of the borough 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 for the amount at tho office of Mr . Hutcheson without success , and that Mr . Bi > hop , the agent of Mr . Hutchesow , ultimately refused to recognise or i > ay the demand . The claimant produced Mr . J . J . Kelly , landlord of the Ship and Black Horse , High-strtet , Shadv . ell , who proved the hiring of tho complaiuaut , and who positively stated tint he had the authority of Mr . Hutcheson

      and Mr . Srephens , tho chairman of the central committee , to empJoy such persons as he thought were well acquainted with tho neighbourhood and localities of iv . 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 aecive 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 , and it 13 said that Mr . Hutcheson has already paid upwards of £ 8 , 000 for the honour of being a candidate , and without the honour of a seat in Parliament .

      A Drunken Aristocrat . —Two hours after tho opening of Wands-worth Police-court , on Monday , Charles Yilliers , of Berkeky-squarf , or , we understood , otherwise tho 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 ' oiice 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 ciear . Witness told him he bad no puch 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 , aid the

      defendant being totally 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 suppose you don ' t deny this , Sir . " Defendant— "Oh , oh ! I suppose—I suppose its all rery true . " Mr . Paynter— " Sir , you might conduct yourself with more propriety when in a Court of Justice / ' Defendant— " Ah , I 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 particuJarly behoves people in your hij ; 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 wassiill in the presence of the magistrate .

      Mohe Bhutalitt . —On Thursday morning , as the passengers on board the Star , a Bristol and Tenby s : eaaier , were about to land at Bristol , their ears were suddenly assailed b y 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 Ba ; in . 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 gb es the following detail respecting it : — " 1 conld see , as plainly as I now see this paper , a

      s : rong powerful man Etrik'ug 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 the 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 alow and piteous moan which could yet be distinctly heard by the persons on board the steamer . Among the pa-sengers 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 loud and general . So great has been the excitement in tho place that ever since the occurrence a mob has assembled daily upon the tides of the Cumberland Basin , uttering fierco 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 . "

The commercial distress which has so long prevailed in 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 blowu 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 aignifiod their intention of reduoiug the wages © f one class of workmen , called the thin coal miners , from 33 . to 2 s . 9 d . a day . This reduction tho moa resolved upon resisting , and on Wednesday aud Thursday they congregated , and proceeded to several pits where some inoii continue working , 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 buitics resisted , and the mob becoming strong on Thursday , they proceeded to cut tho ropes at

      s > me of the pits ; fights ensued between the parties , and the police were called out . They , however , wero found insufficient , and fears beiug 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 . Carnvright , vicar of tho parish , and Mr . Baiigr . r , magistrate of the borough , they galloped off to Park-bead Colliery , bel « nging to Messrs . Martin and Evers , and I ' rom thenco to other works , but the mani body of tho mob had dispersed , and after staying iu the outskirts of tho tovvn 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 hio trial at tho sessions . The officers aro in sea . ) ch of others who

      are known to have taken pare iu the affray . I cannot learn that any one has 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 aro 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 hero aro indeed of the most gloomy cast , and afford little hope that we can long expect a continuance of good order . By-thebye , tho rain has fallen in torrents hero all day , and the little wheat about this neighbourhood has been struck down , and it is feared canuoj recover .

      Dreadful Excitement in a Court of Justice . —Croydo . n Assizes , Thursday . —( Before Mr . Ser . geant Taddy . )—John Wa ' . kius , 25 , and Henry Setoa , 22 , w < : re capitally indicted for assaulting and wounding George Collier ,- with intent to murder him . Tho assault took placo at a booth at Epsom races . Tho jury returned a verdict finding the prisoners guilty of as ^ auUiug the prosecutor , with intent to do him sotno grievous bodily harm . The lenrued Judge told tho prisoners the jury had taken a merciful view of tho case , for it they had been found guilty of tha wholo charge , their lives might have been forfeited , lie 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 , rualicd to the front of the dock , and with dreadful oaths declared that they had been " sold like bullocks , " atul they uttered horrid imprecations upon the judge , Mr . Koone and one of his assistants iaid 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 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 tuo 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 , and did not attempt any violence , and tha prisoners were at length remoyed 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 the 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 unintelligible statement , said to bo derived from the boy ' s tathur , it would appear that ten or twelve days after Jones had been released from prison , Mr . James , ot lork-strcct , Westminster , ti . o landlord of the boy ' e father , called and inquired if the boy would like to goto t ' t-a , as he knew Captain Taylor , of the ship Diamond , bound to Port William , who would sail fiuni the L \ H !* iuii Docks iu 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 titled , tho captain ' s approbation must be obtained . Jones ' s father way then informed that the Diamond liad lefc ti \ Q dorks and sailed for Gravescud , and then fora they » np > sv follow it . Jones proposed to

      accompany ttuin , ¦ * . hcn he was told that it would be better tot him not to do bo . They parted , and Mr . James , 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 Gravesend the ship had sailed , and that ihe boy Jonea expressed a wish to follow it into the Downs . Iu a few days afterwards his father received a letter bearing the postmark of Cork , of which the following ia a verbatim copy : — " Cork , July 7 , 1841 . —Dear Father , —I am glad to inform you Mr . James , his friend ( a police-officer ) , and myself , since leaving Westminster , are well . 1 have experienced the utmost friendship from Mr . JameB . In earnest , I wish the same never to bo

      forgot . Having a good recommendation , I am happy and in excellent spirits . Finally , I hope all of you are well . Please to inform Mrs . Jamesthat Mr . James intends to tako 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 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 evermoro 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 progreai I am . glad to inform you Mr . James has entertained me wi . h kindness . Oar

      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 sou hopes you are all well ; finally , I am in health . My writings or otherwise keep them with carefulness . Believe me , &c . P . S . England is a moat magnificent country . Jier inhabitants aro a most' gracious '( query , getteroua ? ' ) people . 1 declare the samo 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 bears no signature or post-mark .

      The father says 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 . Jame 8 , 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 his head , and inquired the reason ; the answer was , that he had recently had tho " ringworm , " which his father declares is not the case . Jones . says that he is satisfied that Mr . James did all iu 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 bis into an asylum .

      Thb Nbw Poor Law . —About nine o ' clock on Tuesday night , a fi pe female child , about three weeks old , waa left iu the side slip 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 Bkirt ' . of a brown merino gown . The inhuman mother had put a piece of muslin : -with sugar in 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 .

      _ Sdpplt of Coac—It has been stated that tho Welch coal fieldB extend over 1 , 208 square miles , and that thero 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 dedact 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 ; aad as thereare 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-offich 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 houra or moro on the road ( the case with Bristol and North Somerset ) , and that though in some instances a mail ia convoyed fifty miles in an hour by railway , letters are sometimes 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 Bixty or seventy years ago , the 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 time 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 . —Bristol Journal .

      A Leet Juiion Fined for Short Weights . —On Saturday , a meeting of magistrates for the Fiusbiiry district took place at the Session House , Clurkenwell Gveen , when some busine&j of considerable importance was proceeded with , and great interest was excited , in coutequen . ee of Mr . Child , the Inspector of weights and measures , having suized a number of shovt weights belonging to one of tno Leet 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 Holioway ( the Leet Juror referred to ) of Southampton Wharf , Islington , was summoned < or 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 . Perhaps ho mii ; ht be allowed to say that he had taken tho defendant's weights for a Blighter deficiency than was his usual custom , in consequence of Mr . Holioway being a member oi' the Leet Jury , who were vary particular with thenneighbours , and had seized the previous week halfhundred Weights- belonging to their brother tradesmen that wero scarcely half au ounce short . The Chairman observed that this Court had nothing to do with the proceedings of tho Loet Jury . Mr . Holioway observed tha ; iu 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 Ciurtkt Puisonebs . —Tho convicts at Woolwich have found favour in the eyes of her Majesty . Consequent upon her visit to viWthe launch of tho Trafalgar , siveril men have been ordered to be discharged ; and &o 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 en tiro subversion of the good that has been instilled into them during their confinement . We like this excessive care , and we rejoice that the Q / icen has thought fit to extend her clemency in a quarter where it must have been least expected . But is her Majesty not awaro that , besides these convicts , 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 1 Is her Majesty , we say , awaro that such men are pinin / f 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 beiiifi acceded to , thus adopting the Tory system of" War to the knife "—war to extermination . Wo aro delighted , as wo 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 cuormous crime—while , in distant gaols , she has subjects who have 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 Spitalfields . —On Monday evening , James i'ilt , one of the ushers of the court , and Sergeant Teakle , of tho 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 , 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 Hop < .-street , Spitallields—empty houses , into which the greater number of the poor creatures had introduced themselves when unable to pay thoir 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 them 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 untuuantcd condition , and not liable to thoir imposts . The manner in which the poor creatures were afterwards lying about tho street 3 and under the railway arches , for want of other shelter , during several « iays and nights , has already been laid before the public . Tho usher and police-serjeaut 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 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 blankets aud 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 < jt ; 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 , Bethnal-green , Serjeant Teakle pushed open the door of an upper room , which be supposed to We empty , but in a comer 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 was tho family of a poor unemployed woman , named Wears . Every bit of furniture , and every thipg that could be taken from their persons , without leaving them naked , had boeu disposed of to procure food , and on Saturday , as their last resource , 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 pariah officers . They did not know the result of thai application ,

      but they gave her a shilling to get some food . They found in many oases they had visited , that a little relief had been received from the parish , but in many others no application had beenmado . 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 had just received a letter eigued " C . and M ., Lincoln ' s Inufields , " enclosing £ 2 for the relief of the poor families , and Seijeant Teakle himself sa ' . d he had tvvelvo shillir gs which he had received fro / ji some friends for the same purpose . These sunia xhe magistrate degired them to dispense as before .

Shortly afto-r two , Lord Lyndhurst , tho Master of the Rolls , the Vice-Chancellor , Mr .

      Opening op the Regent ' s Pakk . —On Sunday last , the greater portion of this park was thrown open to the public . A vast concourse of persons were present oa the occasion . The portion to which the public have at last been admitted extends from the villa of Mr . Goldsmid on tho south to the skirts of the Zoological Gardens , and from the " broad walk" parallel with Cumberland and GJouoesterterraces to the Marquis of Hertford ' s villa ; and when large quantities of filth fchall hive been removed from some acre and a half of long ^ rass near the north-east entrance , and the public shall havo worn themselves paths in various directions , the Regent's will not be surpassed in extent or picturesque effect by any park in the neighbourhood of the 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 , white the public are freely admitted to such a sight " all tor nothing , " they will , in a few _ days , have been very carefully excluded from too impertinent an inspection of tho 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 ' ates 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 mosi generous style imaginable—for hiseyo alone directed him—some two or three acres of the park ( it is said the " Wood 3 and Forest .-. " have granted an additional four acre ^) adjacent to the Marquis of Hertford's villa , and from which an admirable , though , perhaps , too inquisitive a . view is to be had oi" the residence aud tiie sweet little lawn in front of it .

      Workmen have already commenced digging holes for supports s to a high iron fence , which is to keep the public at a respectful distance—a similar enclosure of a coiij- ; le of acres or more " adorns , " while it " protects , " the only portiou of Mr . Goldsmid ' s grounds through which anything like a view of his villa ciu be had from tho paik . 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 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 aiders , through which a good-sized calf iiiight find its way into the water below , will allow nursemaids , and other careless guardians , to lose iunumerablo children . The " Woods aud 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 firsc walk out c / ieir ways .
