LONDON, Nov. 7.
LONDON, Nov. 7. THE Paris papers of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday have been received. Those of Saturday {five telegraphic despatches from Madrid to the 29th ult. The Commission has concluded in favour of declaring the Queen of age, and that unanimously. The Report was to be laid before the Chamber on the 30th. The debate was to commence on the 2d As soon as it was over, the Queen was declared to be in full possession of her Sovereign puwer. Ministers would resign, and Olozaga be Prime Minister.-Saragossa has submitted. General Concha and his troops entered on the evening of the 28th. On that day General Concha sent a regi- ment to Gracia. On the 31st, the dissensions between the insurgents of Barcelona had augmented the Junta bad not been able to disarm the company of convicts. The pillage of shops and houses continued. The fire continued on the 31st against Girona. On the same day Martell returned to the Fort of Figueras. The 400 men who accompanied him, at the approach of the troops of Prim's column established at Bascara, threw down their arms. The canon of Girona was still heard during the whole of the 1st.—The insurrection of Leon has been put down by a compromise.—The Moniteur of Sunday announces a considerable promotion of officers in the Royal navy of France. The French Govern- ment are evidently directing great attention to this part of the service, and particularly in the increase of war steamers. Louis Philippe and his Ministers are aware that a great army is not sufficient to protect the in. terests of the country, and that, in order to rival Eng- land, defend France against any great naval power, and encourage colonization and commerce, a well equipped large fleet is absolutely necessary. The ordonnance containing the promotions is dated the 1st of November, and raises M. Quernal to the rank of Rear-Aclmmd, and gives a great number of other officers a step in their several ranks. Thirteen commanders are made post- captains, seventeen lieutenants are made commanders in the navy, and a hundred and twenty officers of inferior rank are promoted to the rank of lieutenant.—The papers of Sunday publish long dispatches from Marshal Bugeaud to Marshal Soult, detailing operations in Africa, of which the following is the substance .— General Lamoriciere writes on the 10th of October from Mascara, that on the 19th he marched from Ouizert toward" the country of the Assesnas, in quest of Abd-el-Kader, who was encamped in the neighbourhood of Foufot. On reaching Ain Nezereg, he was informed that the Emir occupied a po. sition near the springs of Sebdon, four leagues south-east of Foufot. General Lamoriciere accordingly proceeded in that direction, but when he arrived at Sebdon, after a forced march of seven leagues, he found that the enemy had abandoned his camp and marched in an unknown direction. On his re. turn to Foufot, however, he learnt that Abd-el-Kader had stopped at the Marabout of Sidi Yousaf, a distance of six leagues, and, although his troops had marched upwards of Pieven leagues on the preceding day. he set out at three o'clock the next morning to attack him. Colonel Morris, who com. manded the advanced guard (composed of six squadrons of cavalry) having perceived some mounted videttes of the enemv stationed on a height, within a league and a half of Sidi' Yousaf, suddenly gallop off towards the Marabout, doubted no longer of the existence of the camp in the neigh- bourhood. He moved on with greater rapidity, and, on attaining the summit of the hills, commanding a view of the small plain of Sidi Yousaf, he discovered the troops of the Emir, consisting of a battalion and a half of infantry, and 500 Of 600 cavalry, retreating towards a rocky and wooded rising ground, distant about a league and a half, which would afford him a secure retreat. Col. Morris formed his column into squadrons, and was about to charge the infantry, when 400 horsemen, commanded by Abd-el-Kader in person, face round, and checked the advance of the French, who were for an instant thrown into confusion. Having rallied behind the 6th squadron which was left in reserve, the Coloael returned to the charge, and, with the assistance of a battalion of the 13th Light Infantry, drove the enemy into the woods, where it would have been dangerous to follow him. The Emir lost in that encounter his Kalifa Abd-el-Backi; Bouzian Oulid Baceit, one of the chiefs of the Hachem Garabas, six officers of his regular cavalry, and twenty men killed, besides having a nnmber of men wounded. The French had six privates and a sub officer killed, one officer and nineteen soldiers wounded, and five taken prisoners. Among the latter was a trumpeter, named Escoffier, who, during the retreat, dismounted, and gare his horse to his captain, who had lost his in the melee. The Emir retired towards Berbour, and General Lamoriciere having retraced his steps to Ouizert, to procure a supply of provisions, proceeded again in pursuit of him on the 29th. Two days afterwards, Abd-el-Kader effected a razzia against the Brahims, a tribe residing on the banks of the Mckerra, but was prevented from causing much mischief, by the approach of two battalions of the 15th Light Infantry. The Arab chief on this occasion narrowly escaped with his life. A horsemen of the Beni-Amers, attached to the French column, boldly rode up to the Emir, took deliberate aim at him, but his gun missing fire, Abd el-Kader shot him dead on the spot. The enemy pursued, during the greater part of the day, lost about 15 killed. General Lamoriciere not deeming it possible to follow him through a rained country, fell back on Ooizert, where' be left the two battalions of the loth in observation, and re-entered Mascara on the 8th with the rest of his column. Colooel Cavaignac had chastised two small tribes inhabiting the mountains to the west of Tenez, who bad fired upon and harassed a French column passing through their territory. Those Arabs fought desperately in defence of their homes, and loat upwards of 80 killed." The Madrid papers to the 30th ulL confirm the ac- counts of the surrender of Saragoasa, as given above from the French papers.- Tbere is no additional in- telligence from Barcelona, but it is probable that place will follow the example of the capital of Catalonia. The merchants of Hamburgh, saya the Augsburg A Gazette, have been terribly alarmed by a report that the German Customs Union intended to increase its duties upon the importation of English cotton twist, and to open a connexion with the United States of America. Within the last three years, Hamburgh has imported to the amount of nine millions of twist, an important branch of commerce, which it will-lose if the duty be increased.

THE NEW BISHOP.—The Gazette of this evening. states that the Queen has been pleased to order a conge d'elire to pass the Great Seal, empowering the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral Church of Lichfield to elect a Bishop of that see, the same being void by the death of Dr. James Bowstead, late Bishop thereof; and her Majesty has also been pleased to recommend to the said Dean and Chapter, John Lonsdale, Clerk, Bachelor of Divinity, to be by them elected Bishop of the said see. His Royal Highness Prince Alexander of the Nether- lands, attended by Baron Sloet, left town yesterday for Blackwall, and embarked for Rotterdam on his retufa to the Hague. It was rumonred yesterday/that his Grace the Duke of Northumberland had resigned, or intended to resign, the Chancellorship of this University; and that In all probability his Royal Highness Prince Albert would be chosen to suc- ceed his Grace in that distinguished and important office.- Cambridge Advertiser of this day. MR. O'CoNKELL—A circumstance has come to our knowledge of which the party most interested in it is, we confidently believe, still ignorant, and will hear of it now for the first time. It will show Mr. O'Conne" that a far more serious charge than that of misdemeanor was at a former period impending over him, and that a mere accident pre- vented his being arrested for high treason. We can pledge ourselves for the truth of the following statement, and. if additional testimony be necessary, we can appeal to Lord Stanley, Sir W. Gossett, Mr. Blackburne (present Master of the Rolls), and, we believe, Mr. Justice Crampton, for its further authentication: during the Secretaryship, indeed we may call it the government, of Ireland by Lord Stanley, a certain individual songht an interview with the authorities at Dublin Castle, and disclosed to them the paiticulars of a horrible conspiracy then actually matnred for raising a ge- neral rebellion in Ireland, at the head of which was Daniel 0>Connell. The plausibility and hard swearing of this indi- vidual procured him credit at the Castle. He was requested to continue to attend the meetings of the conspirators, and to report their proceedings from day to day. At length all seemed ripe for action, and a warrant for the apprehension of Mr. O'Connell was actnally being made out, when Mr. Blackhnrne, then Attorney-General, suggested a little far. tber delay. The delay of three or four days was conceded, but before their expiration, a paragraph in a Scottish news- paper hIp" the traitorous conspiracy into air. This para- graph had reference to the trusty and well-paid informant of the Castle, and spoke of him as to certain quelltional doings in Scotland, before he became the confidential agent of the Irish Government authorities. Inquiries were made, the warrant was bnmt, and every effort was made to hnsh np the whole matter. In now reproducing it, we feel that we may be doing some public service for it may be that some other snch informant is at present deceiving the Government, and leading it to those otherwise unaccountable military preparations which it is making in Ireland.- Observer.

Postscript. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, Nov. 8. Most of the Paris papers of Monday publish brief details of the assassinations which have taken place at Lahore, but generally without comment The Journal des Debats, however, and the Constitutional both assert that the anarchy which prevails in that country will render the interference of the English inevitable. The domestic intelligence in these papers is not im- partarn. ————— PROSECUTION OF MR. O'CONNELL, &c -The last intelligence from Dublin is important, as giving information that the accused Repealers have been defeated in their attempt to at once file hills ofindiclment for perjury against Mr. Bond Hughes, the chief Government witness. Appli- cation was on Monday made by Mr. M'Donagh that an order, in the shape of a mandamus, be directed to the Ma- gistrates of the Dublin Police Office, calling upon them to take affidavits tendered to them for the purpose of found- ing a charge of perjury against Mr. Hughes. Mr. O'Con- nell's counsel made every effort to get the mandamus, but was opposed by the Attorney-General, who declared the object was nothing more th,m to prejudice and defeat the administration of justice. The Hon. and Learned gentle- man declared that if the Grand Jury returned trne bills against Mr. O'Connell and those charged with him, there would be shewn as wicked a conspiracy as ever took place. The bills against Mr. Hughes cannot be sent up to the Grand Jury until these against the Repeal agitator? are dis- posed of. Such was the order made by the Court.—The usual weekly Meeting of the Repeal Association was held on Monday in the Conciliation Hall, when Mr. Clements moved a Resolution, that "the Loyal National Repeal Association hold it a paramount duty, at this moment, to apply all its weight and influence to the successful further- ance of the national collection of the O'Connell compensa tion fund, fixed for Sunday, the 19th inst." The Resoln ion passed by acclamation, alter which Mr. O'Connell and his sons, Mr. John O'Connell and M Daniel O'Connell jun., entered the Meeting, and were received amidst loud cheers.

GENTLEMEN, ——— H A VJNG heen asked the other day by a Gentleman u of this neighbourhood, as to what had become of the Funds towards repairing tlie Townhall in our Borough, my answer was, I was aware the Hall had been partly repaired, but at whose expence I was totally ignorant. The Gentle/aan felt rather snr. prised at this, adding be was a subscriber, and was anxious to know whether the object of the Subscribers was fully carried oat or not. Subsequently, however, I have taken some pains to examine the books of the Corporation, and am sorry to say, I found no account whatever. not a single entry made. Gentlemen, I earnestly and respectfully beg you will send your respective names to me, together with the amount subscribed, to enable me to investigate this mysterious affair, for I disclaim on behalf of myself and the Corporation, of having any knowledge whatever as to who are the Subscribers, or what amount they have sub. scribed, nor in what manner that amount has been expended, to carry out their praiseworthy object. I am sure, Gentlemen,you will not hesitate to comply with my request, when you are informed, that your subscriptions have been intrusted to an individual who has refused to render any accounts of the receipts or dis- bursements. The case appears indeed rather doubtful whether all is right or not. Gentlemen, waiting yonr kind replies, believe me to subscribe. Yoor bumble and obedient servant, THOMAS JONES, Portreeve.

The Lord Bishop of Llandaif has presented the Living of Caerwent, Monmouthshire, to the Rev. — Steele. Curate of Matherne. IMPORTANT MEETING AT LI.ANos.-The unreasonable and very dangerous excitement which has prevailed for some time in Carmarthenshire has now nearly- snb,ided- every body seems to be heartily tired of the Becca" farce, and ashamed that such unmanly proceedings should have been allowed to divert their attention 10 long. The country has assumed its wonted tranquillity. A targe, respectable, and important meeting was held on Tuesday at Llanon, nearly all the farmers of the parish, together with hundreds from the adjoining parishes of Llanelly, Llanedi, Llanddarog, and Hangendeirne, being present. In the unavoidable absence of Wm. Chambers, jun., Esq., at the commence- ment of the meeting, Mr. D. Jones, of Bryncarnarvon, a respectable freeholder from the parish of Llanelly, wall elected Chairman. Eloquent speeches were delivered by the Rev. Messrs. Prichard, Llwynhendy, Williams, Pontar- dtilais, Davies, Betbania, Bowen, Unnelly, and Rees, Llanelly, and by Messrs. Williams, Davies, and Stephen Evans. Re. solutions were unanimously passed, disavowing every sym- pathy and connection with the desperate characters who threatened individuals, destroyed private propei ty, and drenched their bands in blood, and expressive of the sorrow of those present, that they did not at the commencement set their faces more resolntely and publicly against the least deviation from law-of their full conviction, that redress from grievances must be sought only by moral means-and of their readiness to step forward to be sworn special con- stables, to protect property and preserve peace and tran- quillity. in any way the authorities might direct. REBECCAISM.-—While we have to congratulate our reiderson the discontinuance of the unlawful proceedings of the Rebeccaites in the counties of Carmarthen, Pembroke, and Cardigan, we regret to find, that in Radnorshire, they have commenced their work of destt notion with much daring. About two o'clock on Friday last, Rebecca, with upwards of 200 individuals, all disguised, and well armed with guns and other weapons, entered the streets of Rhayader, and pro. ceeded direct to the respective turnpike-gates, and in a very short space of time the north and east gates, as well as the two recently-erected gates adjoining the bridge, with the posts, &c., were entirely erased to the ground, and the toll- house of the latter wholly demolished together with the goods of the collector. Several volleys were discharged during the time of their effecting the operation, and the place is a scene of great devastation. CAPTURE OF A PARTY OF REBECCAITES.—Our Cor- respondent at Haverfordwest, whose letter h dated on Tuesday, writes It is reported here that one of the parties concerned in the destruction of the Fishguard toll-gate some weeks back, Ira. laid information against about thirty of the persons engaged in that affair, and that the London police-officers stationed at Fishguard, assisted by a troop of dragoons, have effected the capture of the parties informed against, and that an examination of the evidence against them commenced before the Magistrates at Fishguard ves- terday morning. Nothing certain is known here as to the result of the examinations; but it is said that a great many of the men have been held to bail to appear at the Assizes. —A company of marines started early yesterday morning from this town for Fishguard, and are not yet returned." ARRIVAL OF REBF.CCA AT GLOUCESTER. — On Thurs- day last, the sloop Rebecca, of Portillador, arrived in Glou- cester, with a cargo of wheat. The errand of the larly is therefore more peaceful here than in South Wales -Glouces- ter Journal.

BRIDGEND LABOURERS' FRIBND SOCIETY.—This Society held their annual meeting on Monday se'nnighf. We understand two fields were ploughed by the competitors, one about eight and the other abont five acres, on the Claypits farm. Premiums were given to farmers, farmers' sons, farm labourers, and labourers that ploughed half an acre of land with a pair of horses, without a diiver, and I within four hours; also to ploughboys and farmers' sons under twenty-one years of age, for the same description of work for hedging and ditching to cottagers alone for the best store pigs, poultry, bee-hives, spinning, knitted woollen stockings, vegetables, turnips, &c. Although the day con- tinned rainy throughout, a great number of spectators were on the field witnessing the ploughing, which was very good. In the new market-place, Bridgend, a fine show of poultry and vegetables was exhibited. Upwards of sixty gentlemen and friends of the societv sat down to a substantial dinner at the Wyndham Arms. The Right Hon. John Nicholl, M.P., presided over the company. The usual national toasts were given, and some excellent speeches delivered. The as- sembly were highly gratified with ihe proceedings. We are given to understand that C. R. M. Talbot, Esq., M.P., is invited to preside at the next meeting. CARMARTHEN MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.—This Insti- tution, which has been established more than three years, m progressively improving, and meets with encouragement and support from gentlemen of every political party in the town. It is one of the most delightful features of society, to witness all parties merging their peculiarities, and combining in the promotion of so good an object as the moral and intellectual improvement of the working class. Could sound and substan- tial improvement be communicated to the labouring man,and could his leisure hours—for leisure hours all must have—he employed in the acquisition of useful knowledge, he woutd no longer be at the mercy or in the power of any heartless dema- gogue that might be disposed to disturb the peace, or in- terrupt the prosperity of his country but would rise to hia true and proper place in the social state, and would use every effort to promote its real interest—peace and prosperity. Few of the artisans and mechanics of Carmarthen can he aware of the advantages, comforts, and facilities for improve- ment which this institution furnishes. They may be accom- modated with a large room, with fire and lights, where there are constantly on the table before them about Iwelve of our most interesting periodicals, two daily papers, the Times and the Chronicle, besides a small library of very useful works, for the small sum of one shilling per quarter The liberal sub- scriptions of the honorary members have enabled the Com- mittee to admit mechanics to all the privileges of the insti- tution for a mere nominal sum. There are also lectures delivered once a fortnight upon some subject connected with natural science. Two lectures have already this session been delivered by the Rev. D. Ltoyd one upon terrestrial, and! the other upon celestial mechanism. Several gentlemen of talent and respectability connected with ihe liberal profession* have kindly tendered their services in this department during1 the winter; and it is to be hoped their lectures will be well attended by tbat class whose improvement tbe institution more immediately contemplates. CURIOUS APPLICATION.—On Friday, Mr. Mellicamp, a surgeon residing near Landore, appeared before oar Mayor, to apply for a warrant against the brothers, named John, David, Thomas, Benjamin, and Robert Daniel, two of whom, complainant said, bad collared him on the roed., and nsed various threats towards him. The five afterwards entered his house, and committed several depredations, such as damaging a valuable watch, breaking his fllrnitnrep and taking away an nmbrella, and other articles. Mr. Attwood asked complainant what was the natnre of the warrant he required—a peace Warrant ? Did he charge them with stealing the articles, or did he wish to indict them for a riot, or charge them with having assaulted himt Complainant did not seem to care what description of war- rant should be issued, if he could somehow bring the psrtiea to account. In answer to various questions by the Mayor and Mr. Attwood, Mr. Metlicamp said the amount ofdamapar done was abont 201. Mr. Attwood said, that, if the damage amounted to so mnch, the case was not within the summary jurisdiction of a Magistrate; but the parties might be hi* dieted, either for a riot or robbery, bnt it was necessary that a witness should be examined before a warrant could be granted. Both tbe Mayor and Mr. Attwood appeared to be puzzled at this extraordinary case, as complainant assigned no cause whatever for the outrage. A young woman ap- peared to be at the bottom of the affair. Complainant naa then desired to appear with his witness on the next day. He then left tbe room, and has not since appeared to prefer the charges. A BAREFACED CASE OF SHOPLIFTING—On Saturday a young man, who gave his name James John Williams, and a middle-aged man, who said bis name was WiQiam Atkni»r were brought up for dual examination before onr Mayor, at the office of Mr. Attwood, on a charge of shoplifting, ond«r the following circumstances:-Mrs. Rosser, wife of Mr. Rosser, tailor and draper, Wind-street, stated, that at a lats hour on Wednesday night, the younger prisoner came to ber shop, and asked to see some shoe-ribbon, which was shown- him, bot it would not suit. He then asked for some silk. handkerchiefs, and vaiious small articles, such as shirt buttons, twist, &c. In the meantime he beckoned to )t tall man, who stood by the door. tn come in. The latter bargained for some goods, and paid three-pence for buttons. After seveial silk-handkeichiefs which lay on the eonntvr had been shown them, the younger prisoner said, that neither wonld do, when the elder one said, "The fact is, he warns a suitable handkerchief for a present to a female," and advised the younger one to have a monrning one, with a deep fringe. They produced a handkerchief similar to the one required. Witness said she had one in the winclow. which would suit them, and, for a moment, turned hprbectt upon the prisoners, reached the handkerchief from tbe win- dow, and proceeded to show it to them. At this time « young woman, named Anne Jane Lnkey. who was in the back parlonr, passed through the shop to the street. White she was out, the prisoner, Williams, offered to buy the handkerchief for 2s. 6d., which witness declined accepting- Miss Lakey returned in a few minutes, accompanied by policeman Robert Williams, to whom she exclaimed, Of The shortest man has them in his pocket." On which the pri. sonet said. What is the matter—I have bought the hand- kerchief," at the same time taking some money out of I.i. pocket. Witness said, No, young man, you have not given me the price for it. Witness had missed nothing np to this time, but observed the younger prisoner making an effort* as if to push Something under some shirting which lay on a cross connter (not that on which the handkerchiefs had been placed). The offirer searched the prisoner, but found nothing. After the fuss and bustle consequent upon search- ing the prisoners were over, a piece, consisting of four silk handkerchiefs, being those first shown the prisoners, wa. found beneath the shirting on the other connter.—Mr. Melvin, who appeared for both prisoners, cross-examined Mrs. Rosser, but her testimony was not shaken.—MUa Lukey corroborated the statements made, and added that when in the parlonr behind the shop, waiting for Mrs. Rosser to be disengaged, she saw (through a small window) the younger prisoner quickly take the handkerchiefs from the counter and put them in his coat porket, at the time the last witness was reaching the other handkerchief rtom tbe window. She knew them to be those found, by the shifting on the other counter, as they were of a bdgbt orange pat- tern. Witness then stated that she ran for a policeman, as described by Mrs. Rosser, when ahe met Robert Williams in Wind-street. The policeman corroborated the above statements, and produced the handkei chiefs. He found a snm of money, and some pawn tickets on the prisoner's person.—Mr. Melvin addressed the Mayor at considerable length, contending that there was no evidence to commit the prisoners, especially the elder one.—The Mayor thought both had acted To concert; therefore, he would leave the case to be decided by a jury.—Both piisoneis who said they were hawkers by trade were committed to take their trial at the Quarter Sessions. Bail from Carmarthen was offered, which the Mayor declined accepting. DEATH BY SUFFOCATION.—On Wednesday, an in- quest was held on boaid the biig Sunbeam, lying near Richardson's wharf in this town, before Charles Collins, E q.
