was mental derangement. The deceased Earl was much respected, and was of literary tastes, and an excellent Oriental scholar.—By advi- ces from America to the 12th March it appears the President had demanded an explanation or redress from Great Britain in respect of the affair of the Creole. It is not, however, expected that any war between the two powers will ensue. An Explosion of a Steam essel had taken place

at Glasgow, some twenty persons killed and about as many wounded. The Government Commission consisting of Sir F. Smith, and Professor Barlow had decided on the general practicability of the Atmospheric Railway as

m of cheap and expeditious loco-motion. Among the merchants, the new Tariff appears to give satisfaction, but they seem to fear the adverse interests will com pel Sir Robert to alter many of its provisions for the worse-We are sorry to see the pressure of distress in the manufacturing districts is not yet lightened.-Cherubini, the composer, is dead.
