LONDON, APRIL 14. THE Paris journals to Sunday's date have been received. They are largely occupied with dis- cussions on the recent changes in Spain.—The Consti- tutionnel states that the fall of both the Narvaez Cabinets arose from the Stock-Exchange speculations of the Minister.—The doctrines of free trade seem 10 be exciting considerable attention in France. The Courier Francais and the Constitutionnel have each long articles on the subject. The Courier Francais advocates the principles of free trade, while the Consti- tutionnel, without absolutely taking the other side of the question, seeks to discourage those who entertain enlarged and liberal views on the subject.—The former journal mentions as a rumour that Don Enrique had written from Bayonne to the Prince de Joinville. asking permission to serve on board his ship as a volunteer.— It was reported in Paris on Saturday that a telegraphic dispatch had been received from Bayonne. announcing the arrival of General Narvaez in that city.—Algiers journals to the 5th had been received in Paris They contain no news of importance iu addition to the last accounts. Abd-el-Kader is represented as a fugitive abandoned by his former supporters, who are hastening, say these journals, to make their submission.—The debate on the naval budget in the Chamber of Deputies, which was to commence on Monday, would, it was ex- pected, have been somewhat stormy. Admiral Her- noux, who drew up the report of the Committee is the intimate friend of the Prince De Joinville, and in the report has reproduced the views which the Prince put forth in his celebrated pamphlet, some two years since, as to the superiority of steam over sailing vessels. The report accordingly recommends a large increase in the grant for sieam-vessels. On the other side M. Charles Dupin and Admiral de Mackau, the Minister of Marine, have declared that steamers are quite unfit for regular warfare, and 'hat there ought to be a large increase in the number of frigates and ships of the line. — Lord and Lady Palmerston, who are in Paris, dined with Marshal Sebastian! on Monday. They were to dine at the Tuileries on Sunday, and had likewise ac- cepted invitations from M. Guizot, the Princess Lievcn, and Baron Rothschild. Madrid journals of the 5tb instant have arrived. The Gnceta contains the royal decrees accepting the resig- nations of Narvaez, Orlando, and Burgos, and appoint- ing Isturitz as President of the Council, and Armero as Minister of Marine, charged provisionally with the War Department. The decree accep'ing the resigna- tions is coun'ersigned by Egana, who retains his office as Minister of Justice: that making the appointments is countersigned by the new President of the Council, Isturi'z. -The Undersecretary of State for the Finan- ces is charged provisionally with the administration of j that department. It appesrs that Colonel Ortega made an unsuccessful attempt, during the night of the 4th, to get up a proMvnciamento in favour of Narvaez. Ortega, Mazzerado Loigorri, the Under Secretary at War, and several other partizans of Narvaez have been dismissed, and General Pezuela has been appointed Captain- General of Madrid. It is believed 'hat the retirement of Narvaez is real on the present occasion, that there exists an irreconcileable difference between him and Christina, and that he will be requested to leave Madrid, with as little delay as possible. By the Levant mail Malta papers to the 3rd instant, and Athenian journals, to the 30th nIt, have arrived, It would appear that the Greek V.inis'er Coletti was approaching to his fall. The Exchequer was in a state of bankruptcy, none of the employes of the Government having received any salary since January. The Bud- get has not yet been presented, and having been beaten in the Chamber on the question of the election of Questor, and out of the Chamber in the election of Mayor of Athens, he dared not ask for a provisional vote of creiiit, for fear of a refusal. The advices from Alexandria are to 'he 29'h ult. On the 22d the first wife of the Viceroy, Mehemet Ali. had died at Cair >, after a short illness. His Highness was "deeply anected at the loss. The funeral, which was attended by the Viceroy himself, took place on the 23rd. On tbe 28'h, at 45 minutes after 5, PM., two violent shocks of an earthquake, lasting upwards of half a minute, had been felt at Alexandria. There had likewise been the shock ot an earthquake at Malta. Private advices from Valparaiso to the end of Ja- nuary last have come to hand. From Cohija the latest intelligence was, that as no goods could be removed from that port for the interior before March, sales for Bolivia must be suspended until that date, or until the embargo was removed. The accounts received from England of the unfavourable result of late shipments of Alpaca wool had materially affected the value of the article. On the other hand, the favourable accounts of the sales of copper kept i he prices of ores firm. Ship- ments were increasing, as the mines had been worked with success. The exchange on England was 45d the price of silver was 10 dols. per mark dollars were 7 per cent. premium.

A rumoar is current in military circles, which we notice with the utmost reluctance, and in the hope that this public allusion to it may elicit some authorised contradiction or explanatiou. It must have struck our readers that in the official accounts of the recent vic- tories in India the praise so justly bestowed on the extraordinary valour of her Majesty's 3d Dragoons, 16th Lancers, and other cavalry regiments, did not include the 9th Lancers. This latter corps must be well known to our metropolitan readers; it was fre- quently reviewed on the Parade in St. James's Park bv his late Majesty and his revered consort. Queen Adelaide, and the distinction of "Queen's Own" was conferred upon it. The regiment, before its departure for India, was commanded by Lord Roslyn, the present master of the Queen's Buckhonnds, and no body of men could have been in a higher state of discipline and efficiency. It is, therefore, with surprise and regret we hear that in the late transactions it wholly disap- pointed the general expectation, that this circumstance is attributed to the backwardness of one of the superior officers of the corps, and that it has been deemed neces- by Sir Hugh Gough to direct a court of inquiry into his conduct.—Observer.

COPPER MINES IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA. (From the Adelaide Observer, October 4.) The commencement of operations at onr great northern mines is attended with circumstances alm-jst, it not altogether new in the history of minin5t. Consecutively with the departure of the first party of men ¡ engaged on owners' account," sixteen drays have been sent up to bring away the first lot (thirty-two tons)of the copper ore ■ and. judging from what has been seen, examined, and per! formed, we shall, in all probability, have to record, that the value of these first dray-loads, raised by a few hands, within the fint seven davs, will amount to 7001.-a very pretty begin illg. But were the English market price offered to the Mining Association, we understand thry would guarantee to deliver a thousand tons in four months, and allow a liberal deduction tor freight and charges. Indeed it is difficulty to speak prospectively of these mines in measured terms, more especially as they are far exceeding the most sanguine predictions of the fir-i discoverers and explorers and as we have no wish to cherish any undue expectations we Shdll, upon the present occasion, as in future when we chronicle the assured success of these undertakings, limit ourselves as much as possible, to actual facts and occurrences, but it would be iinjrwt to the respective owners ot the northern and southern d i vi-ions of the property, now so much the subject of discussion, did we omit to notice the high promises, now more than ever afforded, of the remunerative employment for the capital embarked in (he "Burra Creek Survey." The productive operations instituted by the northern pro- prietary, upon their moiety of the twenty thousand acres, have already so far removed from their investment everything of a speculative character, that scrip, is changing hands at 50 per cent, premium, and we verily believe tbe most cautions matter ot fact curmudgeon in the colony (if there be such) would fain flcrew out the price of a share at a handsome premium, if offered him by a needy holder, constrained to realise. Little beyond exploration of the surface, and satisfactory examinations of specimens of copper ore, having been yet catried out by the proprietors of the southern moiety, we are only enabled to say that the first favourable impressions have been abundantly confirmed and in all probability the miners) riches will rival those already so obvious in the adjoining property. At all p-vents, a competent authority has estimated its value at 50,000/. Nor are all the energies of the copper mining" colonists likely to be expended upon the great mineral survey in the north. A requisition has been hxged with the proper authori- lies tor the survey of several square miles of mineral lanri, abounding with copper in the distri t of Mount Barker;- and such is the general impression as to the difficulty of obtaining sufficient transport for our superabundant metalliferous wealth in its unrefined state that the proposed erection of srueltiug fur- naces will be carried out at no distant day, under circumstances which offer increased encouragement the more they are subjected to inquiry and examination. We are heartily glad to hear that it is intended to gratify the citizens with a sight of several loads of uncoined treasure—net because "'seeing is believing,"—not to tempt them to make in- viiing communications to their friends in Britain or upon the continent ot Europe (for both at home and abroad they will be able to judge for themselves) but that tluse wb> have borne the burden and heal of the day in establishing our highly suc- cessful colony, may derive encouragement as well as gratifica- tion trom a sight 01 the native capital which seems destined to iniust* life and energy into all our collatoral undertakings, whether agricultural, pastoral, or mercantite; and to stimulate into powerful and salutary ex rcise the invtntive faculties and productive industry of wbich this province has already fur- nished so many blight examples. When it was asserted of the colony, some years ago, and before its capabilities were apparent to every body's compre- hension, that it abounded with all the elements of wealth and prosperity," it was asked, alternately, bv the desponding and the credulous, "Where are the pretended elements?" It it were possible that such a question could be propounded now a-days. the attached colonist might point 'o some ot the count- less flocks and herds which bedeck our verdant and nutritive pasturages; to the "smiling" corn fields, which have removed all nek of hrrad, and rendered our gamers insufficient-—to our fruitJul vineyards, orchards, and gardens—to the fens of thou. can s of unencumbered acres which invite the labours ot the husbandman—and, lastly, to the sub soil riches, which seem to promise the Government a full treasury, and the governed a general exemption from penury, and exultingly ask ,C What elements of w«akh and prosperity do you find w.antinl."

SOGTEFYJGT, j LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIt. 15. The accounts from Madrid are to the 7th instant. On the 6th and 7th the soldiers at the military posts in Madrid were doubled,and General Pezuela had adopted every precaution to secure the public tranquillity. At the moment that Narvaez, accompanied by his aide-de- camp, M. Garner, left Madrid, he was presented by Brigadier Armero, in the Queen's name, with a com- mission as Ambassador Extraordinary to the Neapoli- tan Court. Narvaez, however, refused to accept the appointment, and returned the commission to her Majesty. Previous to his departure he held a fare- well levee, which was attended by the French Ambas- sador, MM. Mon, Pidal, Olivan, Santa Colona, Do. noso, Cortes Generals Oribe, Soria, Oraa, Figueras, and others; MM. Seijas, Lozano, Catderon.Scc &c. At the moment of his departure M. Isturitz begged the Queen to cancel the order for his exit, but was refused, on the ground that Queen Chris ina was de'ermined he should go. M. Isturitz had not completed his Cabinet. The intelligence from the United States, brought by the Hibernia. arrived yesterday at Liverpool, is of con- siderable interest. The Senate, after weeks of debate, containing speeches not nnfrequently two days long" each, were still engaged on the Oregon question, and not even the most skilful" guesser" could say with anything like an approximation to truth when the last speech would be made, in such endless mazes were they lost. The President, who still retains all his declared hostility to this country, has used his endeavours to quicken the decision, having on the 24th of March taken advantage of an opportunity, suggested, possibly, by himself, to deliver a Message. This Message was in answer to a call of the Senate respecting the neces- sity of an increase of the navy and army and, in answering that call, Polk very pointedly blames them for their dilatory proceedings, and reiterates his insult- ing recommendations respecting the claims of the Ame- ricans to the whole of Oregon. From the intelligence altogether we might draw these conclusions :-that Polk is fully determined on war with this country, that be will not recede one inch from the line of de- marcation drawn in his annual Message. The Senate, however, evidently demurs to his policy. We are glad to find by this intelligence, that Lord Aberdeen sent out no instructions by the Hibernia to make any new offers. England has offered everything that the most anxious desire for peace could suggest; and, to go a ster further would amount to national disgrace. Sir Robert Peel has announced his ultimatum-" England has rights in the Oregon, and these rights she is pre- pared to maintain." Letters from Vienna announce the intention of the Austrian Government to establish works for the manu- facture of salt from sea-water at Venice. It is stated that the Austrian Minister of Finance will be able to provide for the exigencies of the state from the ordinary revenue, and that there will therefore be no loan, as had been anticipated. According to advices from Cons'antinople, dated the 27th ult., the independant Circassian tribe of the Ab- bazes had declared for Schamyl, having previously re- jected overtures which had been made to them from Russia. JOn the 26th, a steamer and several other vessels had been launched from the Arsenal in the presence of the Sultan, the Sultana Mother, and the ladies of the harem.-Accounts have been received at Constantinople from Erzeroum, announcing that the difficulties which had hitherto prevented the settlement of the differences between Persia and the Sublime Porte had been removed. INCREASE OF ATTORNEYS.—The number of persons who have given the required notices, and compiled with the regulations as certified by the list Issued from the Law In. stitntion, of their intention to apply in Easter Term to be admitted Attorneys of the Court of Queen's Bench, amount to 147. RAILWAY Accn)ENT.-The Directors of the Eastern Cniiniie,(Cambridge) liiierin order to meet theconveuience of the subscriber to the Newmarket Craven Meeting and the Public, determined to run a special train from Shoreditch on Sunday afternoon to Chesterford, undertaking to do the distance direct to Newmaiket within four hours. At the appointed time the lrain started, conveying Lord and Lady Chesterfield, Lord K. Russell, and the tlite of the sporting world, amounting to near 100. In advance, drawing the train, were two of the finest engines that the Company pos. sess, built by Stolheit, Slaughter, and Co. The train was rather heavy. Next to the tender of the second engine were five horse-boxes, then a second-class carriage, three first-class Ctrriager, three second-class, and two trucks at the rear. The locomotive supeiintendent, Mr. Scott, was on the first engine Mr. Roney, the secretary, on the second and Mr. Wad 'ington, the Deputy Chairman of the Company, in a first-clos carriage, accompanied by some of the Di- rectors. By the time the train had passed Edmonton station it was travelling at the rate of 43 miles an hour. Soon after Mr. Roney and Mr. Scott found that the second engine had left the rails, and was tearing up the road fearfully, dragging with it the train andjjehnost instantaneously the steam of both engines Has shut off. For the moment nothing short of the second engine dragging the tiaiii into a large ditch was expected. Such was the momentum, however, of the foremost one, that it still held the metal, and, remarkable as it may appear, dragged on the second one, and eventually forced it on to the rails, Bninjnred, the firemen and stokers retaining their position. The fate of the carriage portion of the train, however, was far more unfortunate, and the pre- servation of the passengers can be scarcely conceived. As before stated, it followed the course of the second engine on the permanent way for about 25 yards, when the coupling which held it snapped asunder, and. as the engine retook the rai a, the train "hOI down the embankment into a ditch filled with water. The crash of the carriages was trnly terrific, and the alarming excitement that ensued amongst the pas- sengers was of the most painfal chaiacter. Never was such a wreck of a train witnessed. The foremost part of the train, comprising the horse-boxes, was partly bnried in the diich, and almost Crushed to pieces by the weight of the Carriages pitching on thenl. The next carriage—a second. class one, containing a number of porters, who were being conveyed down to assist at the Chesterfield station during the races—was thrown on its side. Such was the concussion, that every portion of it, except the side uppermost and the flooring, was knocked away, Kol yet, incredible as it may appear, not a person inside was hurt! The second guard, named George Gordon, was on (he roof of this carriage, and how he escaped destruction is surprising, as the next car- riage, a first-class one, moimted the roof. The remaining carriages were more or leas damaged, and the chief guard, it appears, was saved by being hoisted on to the wires of the electric telegraph, and tilled over into the ditch, luckily escaping with a ducking. On the fragments of the boxeli being inspected, two horses were found dead, and another so seriously injured that in the .course of an hour or so after* wards an end was put to its existence. The line was cleared and put into working order within two hours of the arrival of the workmen and apparatus. As to the cause of the ac- cident, by some it is supposed that the oscillation of the second engine caused it to rise and leave the rails, and by olherol that a rail at a Joint shifted and shot out after the first engine had pissed over, and threw the second one off. The loss to the Company will amount to between 3,0001. and 4,0001.
