To Misty national right, although the consent of those interested might naturally be taken for granted, it is about to convoke the parliament of the Seven Lim& in order that it may sanction the measure. To satisfy diplomatic right, although it has already the consent of the powers who signed the treaty of the 15th April, 1815, it will call a congress of those powers, among which is the King of Naples, now re presented by the King of Italy. Our readers will not fail to see that the participation of King Victor Emmanuel in a measure of this nature will be equivalent to a confirmation of the recognition of the kingdom of Italy by the principal powers." The French Academy of the Beaux-Arta, at its last sitting, elected as corresponding members M. Duple, statuary, at Florian; M. Fonteos, painter to the King at Lisbon ; K.

The farther hearing of this use was resumed this morning. The Lord Chief Justioe, in the mime of 'lamming up, rid —I must may that the inquiry Ku been to me of a very painful character, became I cannot help feeling and being impaired with the belief that sad mistakes have been made on both sides. Without wishing to speak with any undue harshness of the plaintiff, I should not be disclaiming my duty if I were not to state that I think his conduct on the occasion in question was • sad and deplorable departure from propriety, and if he had done in a court of justice what he did in the parliament chamber of the Middle Temple, he would have brought upon himself the soreasselemmemequannen. The book would bevel's= foreibly Mei titen khn. melba would have been severely punished -tot es oweennoll ewleasesua a contempt of the court. It is *nee thai the piateaWai of an inn of court is not • oourt ' armed with the pares of a court of justice, for keeping whitens within the bound. of those observances which are absolutely essential for the investigation and the eluci dation of truth and the fair administration of justice. It has been said that the benchers, when investigating • charge of delinquency against a member of their inn, are only a friendly tribunal, but I cannot accept it, although they are not armed with the powers of the ordinary couna of law, or with powers co-extensive with their jurisdiction. I take that to be a friendly tribunal which sits by the consent of both parties for the adjustment of mutual differences. That is not the case of this tribunal, for the benchers are armed with authority, on the charges brought before them being proved, of depriving a member of his professional position and existence—in short, with the exception of the heavy penalties which attach to more heinous offences of which the law takes cognisance, I can omissive no jurisclio tion more serious or severe than that which can deprive • man after, perhaps, be his devoted the best years of his life to a greet and arduous profession, of his rank and position relative to it, and throw him back helpless on the world to commence a new career, and, in addition, bands • man and stamps him with dishonour for the remainder of his days. The gravity and importance of each • jurisdiction can only be equalled by its salutary effect in preventing the profession from suffering M um* in the estimation of society. The jury were locked up at five minutes to one o'clock, and ►t ten minutes to four o'clock they made a communication to his lordship to the effect that they wished his opinion on the question, whether, supposing the book not to have been the property of the plaintiff, were the defendants justified in using force to take it from him. The learned judge said that wu a question of law and not of fact, with which they bad nothing to do. The jury said there wu Do chance of their agreeing to • verdict, and after some discussion between his lord ship, the jury, and the learned counsel on both sides, t►e batter consented to their being discharged without agreeing to a verdict. The jury were accordingly discharged. 001JRT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. CNIIMINnooer Holrojd.) APPLICATION ONO= THZ 7 MID vicr. This was an application for release from custody by a debtor, who had petitioned the court in March lest, under the 7 and 8 Viet., commonly known as "The Genan'e Act." The petitioner bad obtained protection, which expired on the 15th November last, and he had been than iurested. Mr. Bagley and Mr. Maley opposed the application, on the ground that his Honour had no jurisdiction, as the case was one which belonged to Mr. Commiserator Ponbbinque. Hie Honour observed that the ate of 7 and 8 Viet. wee worded in a different manner from the Bankruptcy Act, and required that the jurisdiction should rest with the commis sioner to whom the petition was allotted. He could not, therefore, entertain the application. RI RI LICRZVOL The bankrupt was described re a merchant, of Mario_ This was the sitting for examination and discharge.

The bankrupt had left the country, and sent a medical certificate from Boulogne excusing his absence on the ground of indisposition. His Honour directed an adjournment sine die without pro tortion. (Before Mr. Registrar Herat.) IN RZ CAVCIDISH. The bankrupt applied for his release from custody. He bad been in prison eleven months, for a debt of about 30/. Mr. Lewis supported the application. His client had been arrested on returning from abroad, after an absence of eighteen months, and had been kept in prison ever since for this miserable debt of 301. The names was opposed by a solicitor, on the ground that the debt bad been contracted in the most extasTagukt man ner. The bankrupt had kept a carriage and pair. The bankrupt having pledged his honour that he would not owed if released, the discharge was ordered. iR 11 LABOTT.—ACCOMMODATION RILLS. The bankrupt, a merchant's clerk, of St. Itarrat-Hill. applied for his order of discharge. The debts are only 2101., but there are liabilities on accommodation bills of 2,7971. Mr. Goodday appeared for the official assignee. The Breaker said that in nearly every cue which cane before him he found that there was a oor.sidemble item ea the debtor side of the account in respect of aocammodatioa bills. Such bills were in reality a system of fraud, and a maw of assisting a co•conspirator to raise money flom third patios. They ought to be thoroughly investigated in every pas. The bankrupt was examined, and stated that the liabilities above mentioned wore due to the Liverpool Borough now in course of winding up. lama he had been induced to join in a promissory note to the bank for an advance to soother party ; and on the failure of the bank he had been made responsible for the amount. The Registrar said the features of this case were not so criminal as tholes of many eases. In a general way accom modation bills were evidence of • conspiracy to &frond. The bankrupt might take his discharge. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Secondary Potter and a Jury.) BRIXII v. OftaIIfr.—XITILAORDI2tART F•LBE IMPIWIOSION? CAM—DAMAGES 1,0001.

The proceedings excited considerable interest, and the court was 3Usd by gentlemen anxious to bear the summonses. The parties objected to ray the rate, on the ground that the thatch- , wardens of St. May's, Haltom, had so bower to make a church rate, as the inhabitants of the district church were still liable to pay rates to the mother church of Streatham. In consequence of the defendants having given a bond fide notice of their intention to dis puta the validity of the rate, the jurisdictioa of the magistrate was ousted by the act of George the Third, and Mr. Ingham accordingly forbore giving judgment, leer ing the churchwardens to settle the dispute in the Ecclea siastical Court. All the defendants answered to =immoral with the exception of Mr. Hodges and another gentleman, and as it was necessary that they should attend to give their reasons for not paying the rate, warrants were Maned with instructions that they should be used in the foam of summonses. On the see Wei called, Mr. Hodges appeared, sod first apologised for not attending on the last occasion. He did not attend, simply for the reason that there were so many gentlemen that he thought they would be suflicieut. Mr. Ingham said he did mot with to involve him in litiga tion without his consent. He was desirous of knowing from him whether it was his iutestiou of joining the party in their opposition to the case, or whether be would submit. Mr. Hodges maid he concurred entirely iu time opposition given to the rate, and gave the same notice of objection as in the other crass. Mr. Ingham aompted the objection, and forbore as in the other mess to give judgment. In the ease of the other defendant, Mr. Deno, the °Meer stated that he bad paid the rate.

The gym at which the train stopped was one where had not the proper precautions been taken, an accident was exceed ingly likely to have taken place.
