This little rademeeons of domestic comfort has been a emsiderable time out of print, and in great demand all over the kingdom. The editor of the " Parolees Journal" in noticing a former edition of this work, says, " Mr. Nlou lIRAY'S little book on the breeding, rearing, and fattening all kinds of ' . 11, Rafstic poultry and pig‘, is unquestionably the most practical work at the subject in our language. The author's aim seems to have been avoid aellanifie detail, and to convey his information in plain and in ,t:dgible terms. 'rift convinience of a small poultry-yard—two or three pip, with a bieetling sow —and a cow for cream, milk, butter, and cheese —in an English country-house, appears indispensable ; and to point out may be obtained, at a reasonable expense, seems to have been 131ounaav's object. By adopting the plan of his work, any family 'nay furnish their table with these luxuries at one third of the price they are obliged to pay at the markets ; and the farmer and breeder may render it the some,. of considerable profit." 5 10 0 6 6 0 vs. ti.. •11iK...1. . - ~.

CHAMBER OF DErtrems.—The shape of the Chamber is semi circular. The Chair of the President is in the centre of the chord. The tribune from which the speakers address the assembly is below it. Beneath this, upon the floor, are the huissiers, officers answering to the Messengers of our House of Commons. The Ministers sit upon a bench, forming an arc of a small circle, and behind these are the body Deputies, seated upon benches, which are arcs of concentric circles, the whole being divided into four equal parts by passages radiating from the President's Chair The passage, which bisects these circles, 'narks the division of the Chamber into right and left. Before the Revolution the supporters of Government sat upon the right, the Opposition upon the left ; again, the degree of support or opposition was marked by their sitting at one or the other side of the passage by which their sections were divided. The advocates for the right divine of Rings, such as Raves, Conny, Berryer, and so forth, were upon the extreme right. The more rational Mends of the exiled family, such as Martignac, Hyde de Neuville, and Royer Collard, upon the por tion near the centre, called the centre droit ; the advocates fur the preservation of good order and the maintenance of the Constitutional rights guaranteed to the people by the Char. ter, such as Lafitte and Casimir Perrier, ant on the centre gauche ; divided from the moderate Royalists by the one passage, and from the old Republican and Buonapartists and Ultra-Liberals, such as Benjamin Constant, Sebastiani, and Salviarte, who sat on the extreme left, by the other passage. All this, however, must have been altered with the change of Government. The leaders of the more gauche sit upon the Ministerial Benches. The cadre droil forms the only oppo. sition that dare raise its head. The extreme left supports Government. The extreme right is deserted. COURTS or JUSTICE IX FRANCE.—At present the Courts of Jus tice in France may be described under the folowing heads :—Tribunaux de Premiere Instance, answering to our police offices, but infinitively better conducted : Tribunaux de Commerce Officialites (Ecclesiastical Courts,) Court Royales, the Cour dee Comptes, and the Cour de Cat.l sation. The Judges in the Tribunaur tie Commerce are appointed by the merchants. The nominations, however. are subject to the approba tion of the King. The Cour Royale of Paris is divided into six de partments—three for hearing civil business--one for preparing indict ments—one for pronouncing upon appeals--and, lastly, a Cour d'As sizes (a Court of Assize.) spin subdivided into two Chambers to fa cilitate the dispatch of business. This Court (La Cour Royale) con sists of a President-in-Chief. five Presidents, and fifty Counsellors, to. gether with an Attorney-General, who has got a host of assistants, or. as we in this country call them, ' devils !' such as 'Treasury devil,' and so forth. The Cour des Comptes has jurisdiction over all matters touching the public revenues, and the revenues of the various hospitals and other charitable institutions. The Cour de Caseation, as its name indicates, is a Supreme Court, and one of unlimited jurisdiction : it can take cognizance of decrees delivered in all the Courts throughout the kingdom, and quash or affirm them as it may see fit, without any ul terior appeal. 'File Minister of Justice, for the time being, can assume the Presidency of this Court by virtue of his office ; and when he is in the Chair the Court has power to summon the Judges of the inferior Courts before it, and, if it thinks proper, forbid them for a time to ex ercise their functions. This Court consists of a Chief President, three Presidents, and forty-eight Counsellors, all appointed by the King, and for life. It is divided into the Section des Requites, the Section de Cassation Civile, and the Section de Cessation Criminelle the nature of whose several duties is su ffi ciently explained by their titles. There is another circumstance connected with the Cour de Caseation worthy of remark ; it is, that the Court is bound to send a deputation annually to the King, for the purpose of making a report on the state of th e law, ' and indicating such alterations and improvements as their judicial ex perience during the last year may have suggested. This is a practice which it appears to us might be introduced with great advantage into this country. THE Louvar —The Louvre is the most ancient of the French King's Palaces: we read that it was used by Dagobert as a hunting station, in the seventh minty, and that it was a favourite place of re. sort to the sluggard Kings (Les Rois Fain‘ans) his successors. Its name does not again occur in history until the reign of Phillip Augustus, who fortified it, and added several towers, one of which, la grosse tour du Louvre (the great tower of the Louvre), is famous as a state prison, and as the place in which the crown vassals were bound to do homage for their lands to the King as Zuzerain. Charles V. enclosed it within the walls of Paris, and farther enlarged and improved it at an enormous expense, considering his scanty revenues. In those days it was devoted to the use of Foreign Princes, visitors at Paris. Charles IX. was the first of the French Kings who inhabited it. On the memorable festival of St. Bartholomew, it was surrounded by heaps of the slaughtered Protestants. Henry 111. also resided there : he was obliged to fly from it for his life, the preachers under the influence of the Guises having ex cited the mob to go and take brother Henry, of Valois, in his Louvre. Henry IV. was likewise an inhabitant of this palace; he was mur. dered on his way from it to the arsenal. Louis XIII. atid for a short period, Louis XV. held their Court and residence here; all these monarchs, except the last-mentioned, added to the buildings.— The magnificent gallery extending along the Seine, and the principal façade, were completed in the reign of Louis XIV. under the auspices of Colbert, arid after the design of Claude Perrault, a physi cian. Voltaire observes—" The façade of the Louvre, designed by Perrault, is one of the most august monuments of architecture in the world. We sometimes go a great way in search of what we have at home. There is not one of the palaces of Rome whose entrance is com parable to that of the Louvre." Under the reign of Napoleon much was done towards the entire completion of this palace, and something has been since done by the Bourbons. It, however, is still unfinished ; windows are wanting in several places, and in the interior many apart. ments are yet in an unfinished state. King Philip, it is said, proposes to complete it. Napoleon had the principal entrance adorned with a bas-relief representing Minerva on the one side, and History on the othe r side of his bust. History was writing on the pedestal, Napoleon le Grand, a achere le Loorre. After the Restoration the Emperor was made to descend from his high place, and Louis XIV. was elevated in his stead. The inscription was erased, and Ludovieu Magno sub stituted.— &server. LAFITTE.—James Lafitte, Member of the Legion of Honour. Vice. President of the Chamber of Deputies, and Minister of State to Louis Philippe I. has long been known as the first banker in Paris, and a dis. tinguiehed Member of the Chamber of Deputies, and friend of freedom. He was born at Bayonne in 1768, from whence he removed to Paris, and joined the bankialphouse of Perigeaux, of which he became the head in 1805. His character for talent and integrity stood so high, that in 181$) he was appointed by the Government Deputy Governor of the Bank of France, and was also raised to the Presidency of the Board of Trade ; in 1813 he was appointed one of the Judges of the Tribunal of Corn. merce ; in 1814, he was appointed Governor of the Bank of France, and gave a noble proof of disinterestedness, by refusing its emolu ments. His firm support of liberty incurred the displeasure of the Ministry, and in 1819 they appointed the Duke of Gaeta to the Directorship of the Bank of France—an appointment which pro. duced so much confusion in the affairs of the Bank, that the proprietory, by an unanimous vote, recalled Lafitte to the ma nagement, under the title of "Regent." His character for integrity was never exceeded. The following facts are striking illustrations of the confidence reposed in him:—Before Louis XVIII. quitted the Tuileries, in 1815, he sent for Lafitte, and made over to him in trust the whole of his private property. Three months after this =offence, Buonaparte honoured him with the same unlimited confidence, em barked for St. Helena, and, at his death, left Lafitte sole executor and administrator of the handsome fortune he had accumulated. To the honour of all parties we arc bound to add, that Napoleon showed as scrupulous a determination to respect Louis's property, during the eventful period of the Ilundred Days, as Louis afterwards evinced to assist in giving effect to his opponent's last will, in opposition to the base and resentful remonstrances of Napoleon's enemies.:;Lafitte is also distinguished for his active benevolence, and desert in distress can al ways rely on his assistance. Ws conduct in the Chamber of Deputies, of which he has been a Member during the last fourteen years for the department of the Seine, has been alike distinguished for firmness and moderation, and has secured him universal es'eem. ttis conduct during :he crisis of the recent Revolution, must, if possible, exalt hint still higher in public estimation. When he saw the danger with which lilsetty was threatened, he did not hesitate, as was the case too generally with men of fortune end station, but nobly periled his fortune and his life in resistance to the tyrant. Louis Philippe I. has proved at once his good feeling and good judgment, by calling Witte to his Councils. —Atheneum. THE TURF. ASCOT HEATIL-SECOND MEETING. The absence of their Majesties contributed vesterdav tn the general gloom, the only consolation that presented itself being the c..trtaintt that the third day would amply compensate for the meagreness of the second. The complaints of the proprietors of the gambling and smiling booths, were loud and well-founded—it is quite impossible that they could have cleared the expenses of the day, and say nothing of the heavy expenses of fitting up their booths. ground charges, &c. It is now pretty clearly ascertained, that the Second Mteting cannot succeed ; independent of the considerations stated yesterday, another objection presents it self, in the absence, at this season, of Noblemen and Gentlemen, who are or, shooting &condom In the North, of making prepara tions for the campaign against the unfortunate partridges. His Majesty has expressed himself highly phased with the sticecss of his hems on Tuesday, and has sent a very liberal donation to the R4ham Itac Fund ; his Majesty has alto directed that his horses shall run there. It is not known whcthet their Majesties will tetend the races on Runnymede next week—in the event of this being the case, Mr. J Roulding has prepared a neat and compact portable stand for their ac commodation. Great sport Is expected at this meeting ; a new stand for the betting men will be erected on the opposite side to that on which it has hitherto stood, and several important alteratior.t, and int. provements have been effected in the course, which now very much re sembles the Goodwood Race-course. Besides his 3sajesty's, time will be several crack Newmarket nags. We left the Heath at half-past two o'clock, when it was generally understood that their Majesties, and the other members of the Royal family who were present on Tuesday, would again visit it tins day. It was also stated, on pretty good authority, that the feeble support afforded to this meeting, will prevent its repetition. The day's race came off thus : A Plate of 391. for all ages. 3 yes. 76t. 41b. 4 yrs. list. 7lb 5 yrs 9st. Ilb, 6 yrs. and aged, Oat. 51b. Mares allowed 31b. winners extra. Mile and half.

The Commissioners took their seats at half-past 10 o'clock. Mr. ' Brand entered immediately after,-and took his usual seat. Mr. Phillimore said that he should be obliged to ask Mr. Brand a few questions for the purpose of ascertaining the state of his mind. He therefore hoped that Mr. Brand would be kind enough to reply to those questions that would elucidate this point. Mr. Brand, in reply to Mr. Phillimore, said that he ordered Mrs. Dashwood's grave to be watched so long as Mr. Hughes thought that Mrs. Daahwood's body would be fitted fur dissection ; namely, two months. He, however, ordered the grave to be watched three weeks longer, to make assurance doubly sure. He did not know that the lady alluded to by 3lary Pettit was a foreign Princess. He never called her by the name adverted to by Maly Pettit. In allusion to Mr. I lazelby he thought he was an improper character—he thought so still. He also knew Mr. Hazelby to be a coward 13 years ago. He did not think he was bound to give his reason for believing Mr. Hszleby a coward. Mr. Le Merchant told him about seven years ago that he was in the habit of nodding at the Duke of Wellington. Mr. Phillimore adverted to the letter addressed to Mr. Le Merchant by Mr. Brand, and asked that gentleman if he would explain the reason for his sending such a communication to Mr. Le Marchant? Mr. Brand said that the circumstance was a secret between Mr. Painter, and Mr. Le Marchant and himself. He refused to give any other explanation of the letter. Mr. Phillimore begged to assure Mr. Brand that their object was to have matters explained. not to cross-examine nor entrap him. Mr. Brand, in Continuation, observed that be never said that the wo man he saw at the house of his wife's aunt, who kept the "Jolly But , chefs," was his sister ;he said she was like his sister. He explained the shadows alluded to in the course of the evidence in a satisfactory manner. He certainly saw in the Exhibition likenesses that stronly re. minded him of Mrs. Carr, Mrs. Daahwood, and a servant girl at Harris's, ,at Camberwell. Mr. Brand entered into an explanation of the mortgage effected at die Pelican Insurance. An inquiry was here entered into by Mr. Phillimore, to ascertain how far Mr. Brand was justified in calling the various persons alluded to in the course of the examination im proper characurs. Mr. Brand said that he believed them to be impro per persons then, and he continued to think so. Mr. Brand was evidently strongly excited on this particular subject. Either Mr. Wadder, or some person like him, acted as a sham attorney. He did not see that the expressions which he used in the letter addressed to Sir Robert Peel, when he called upon him to release him, were at all too strong. He would not tell the reason why he addressed a letter to the Duke of Wellington; that was a secret. He knew tl•at the Duke of Wellington, who imprisoned him, if he was really the Duke of Wel lington, would have met him and fought hint. He said that he saw Serrett, who had been dead 15 years. It was either Saved, or some one very like him. He was induced to attempt to turn his wife out because she behaved very ill to him three weeks after she was married to him. He travelled to France in two coaches. In reply to the Commissioners on this subject, Mr. Brand said that a man had a right to be as expen sive as he pleased. 51r. Phillimore—But the object of this inquiry is to ascertain if you are fit to manage your affairs ? Mr. Brand—Then the reason is, I so travelled for the sake of conve nience. If the Commissionees wished to knew any thing inure respect ing the house of the Duke of Wellington, they had better summon the Duke before them. (A laugh.) To Mr. Whitmarsh—He never spoke to the real Duke of Wellington. He declined saying why he called at Apaley House. He was much obliged to him, but he (Mr. B.) could keep a secret as well as they could. (Laughter ) Mr. Whitmarsh—The object of our ingairy is to have matters ex plained to the jury, which may appear strange as they now stand in evi dence; therefore it is that we ask you all these questions. I hope you don't think that we have any other purpose in view ? To a Juror.—Never had the slightest correspordence with, nor did lie ever talk to, the now Duke of Wellington, when he was Sir A. Wellesley. To another Juror.—What he meant by saying that there was a secret between him and the Duke of Wellington was this, that he would only say what he had to say to the Duke of Wellington. Mr. Brand then entered into his defence, which he read from a paper. Ile said that his difficulty in addressing them did not arise front his want of acquaintance with the English language, but from the circum stances by which he was surrounded, viz. imprisonment and cruel treat ment. He asked, did it appear, during the whole course of the inquiry, that he had lost his memory, or displayed any want of understanding to judge of the differenceof circumstances. Hs ssked,did it appear that he had Lost the springs of his mind durin this inquiry ? Ue prove what appeared to be die workin gs o f hi s own imagination were not—the things .that were supposed to be delusions, were no delusions. In alluding to the death of 51ra Dash+ ood, he said he could nut envy the feelings of that man who could witness the death of a pretty woman unmoved, Mr. 4e. l'rand here adverted to the nature of the (vide: ce g'ven in support of the Commission. Mr. Paynt e r. w t. o was usionisliets that he di s pl a y e d tet•ling upon the death of Mrs. Dasitsood, a t t h e same time explassed his list mishment that he bad not displ t)til s.tonti feeling upon th e d eat h of a natural child ; and yet this inconsis•eney it: tl:e evidence, was taken as a ground of his insanity. Air. I'aynter said that he knew he was in sane for three years, and yet lie took no steps to take care of his friend or of his property. Mr. Phillituore here observed. that by referring to the evidence lie found that Mt. Paynter &Rd Mr. Brand's insanity from the 16th of Mar. Mr. Brand procetd‘d to con meta upon the evidence. With respect to Miltat's saying that be was it elanclioly after the death of Mrs. Dash wood, there might he admitted b..• some truth in it—it was also possible he was seen talking to himself. He might be counting of money, as he had to pay one or two labourers. Mr. Bredie, the surgeon, examined by Mr. Brand—He deposed that he received three or tour letters from Mr. Brand. He did nor attend to the first letter because he was going out of town at the time it aimed. The two subsequent letters alluded to Mr. Brand being cot.fined in con. sequence of a charge of insanity. (The letters were then frail.) A gottleman, a friend of Mr. Brand's, called upon him, and urged h m :u st.e. Mr. Brand. lie did call in consequence. Ile recollected a•tend ing Mr Brand several tithes. He did not recollect seeing him in No vember last. Recollected seeing Mr. Brand a few days since. Saw ito marks of insanity about Mr. Brand. lle was excited, but tm more so than he would be, under his peculiar circumstances, whether he wax sane or Insane. Mr. Brand had then returned, as witness utider-h4)41, from attending this examination. This was, he believed, on Monday late. He frequently declined going to patients, if he did not think he could serve them. He saw nothing in Mr. Brand's conduct that day to induce him to believe that he was insane, nor did he on the day he late saw lii:tt. Cron—examined by iii. Austin --Was not hers• when Mr. Brand was under t xamination, in the early part of the day. He entered when Mr. Brand was reading his address. Ile only 5314. Mr. Brand for fivz minutes, on the first occasion. in reply to a Juno.: Mr. Brand told him of his being improperly confined ; and a•kni bint if he (Mr. ltre.the) c•ou!d say whelier he wa. insane or not He replied that he hat: not a sufficient opportunity of judging of his conduct to give an opinion on the stibpct. Mr. Irving, examined by Mr. Brand, deposed, dlr. he was for a few days a• Mr. Brand's, In March. 1819. Sall/ no.hmg in Mr. Brand's conduct to induce him to suppose that lie was 'intone. Could not ray that Mr. Brand laboured under delusions. ll'as very Innen in %Ir. Brand's company at the time. 11 n d in company with Mr. I rand. Would have thought it very extra odiihiry to hear it stated tlint Air. Brand was supposed to be insive at this period. Cross.examined—This was after the death of Mrs. Dashwood. lied some conversation with Brand on the mode of conducting tis farm. It was, he thought, an expensive nude. He always thought 31r. Beard of an eccentric turn of mind. He was more tinder the iittitteace of the moment than other people, and less under the guidance of yell ction. To Mr. grand—Would not think it any proof of insaniq if Mr. Brand farmed Mkt the manner usually adopted by the most Puc natal farmers in Suffolk. Ephraim Samutla examined—Deposed that he met Mr. Braid at chess within the last two years. Saw nothing in his conduct to warrant him in supposing him mad. Should know the likeness of Scrtett the chess-playcr. [Mr. Brand here said that as a person named Hay, who was the per son whose face r.mintletl him i.f Se•rety was not present, he should re. quest Mr. &minds io come anothir day, to say how tar he (Day) was like Serrea. The witness said lie would come with great pleasure.] Cross-examined—Knew Serrett vary well. Believed lr has been dead ten years. He wax a strong-featured man. To a Juror—Saw no difference in Jr. Brand now from what he al ways observed. Mr. PHILLIMonB here observed that he had received a cotninuni cation from the Lord Chancellor, in reference to Mr. Bland appearing there under the restraint of a strait-waistcoat. Mr. Phillimore said that the jury would recollect that his lint object was to ascertain how far it was right that Mr. Brand should be kept under restraint, and with that view he examined Dr. Sutherland and the keepers, as to whe. then or not it was advisable to keep the strait-waistcoat on Mr. Brand. They gave it as their opinion that it would be unsafe to take the waist coat off. A juror said that he thought it was an extremely hard case for a gen. denten to be obliged uhdertakt his defence tinder such rest , aint, and, if it were iffissible, s(r. Brand ought to be ntlease4gfrom it. Dr. Sutherland, who was in attendanceislegain examined. Ile aid that if Mr. 'and was either alloweastWe confinement, or placed ,from under restraint, it would beAnlrary to his (Dr. S.'s) medical judgment.' Sir. Austin hoped it would not go to the public that Mr. Brand was deprived oT any opportunity to defend himself properly. Mr. Brand said that he certainly felt himself under restraint. H.: was unable to have legal assistance of his own choosing. Mr • Phillimore, and the" other Commissioners, here reminded Mr. Brand that they strongly ad;ised him on the first day to employ a legal gentleman to conduct his case. The Foreman of the Jury said that the jury were of opinion that the Commissioners had done their duty. Mr. Brand, in teply to a Juror, said that he did not fed himself under any restraint then. Mrs. Harris examined by Mr. Brand—She deputed that she recollected Mr. Brand lodging at her house in Camberwell four times. Never saw anything like insanity in the conduct of Mr. B. Would not be afraid of being in the room with him, even if thtr.: were knives on the table. Never saw Mr. Brand e xc it e d except on the occasion of Mr. Page being present. Recollects Alderman Wood and Dr. Paris having called on Mr. Brand on a Sunday, last May ; they said it was uns tfe for her to be in the house with Mr. Brand without a keeper. Sh: did not think so, and refused allowing one to be placed in her house. She thought the conduct of the ger.tlemen in question very impertinent and ob =sive. A large crowd assembled round the house. Could tat ray that it was the crowd that intimidated them from putting Mr. Blind under restraint. They said that, as witness objected to a keeper be n; placed in the house, it was unnecessary for them to r ema i n any longer. Mr. Brand said to hem that he was ready to go before a British j ry, he providing himself with thr.e medical men, and they with tnree others. Heard nothing of John Fitz-Brand being in the neigbourlitard on the day in question. Cross-examined.—Lived in Camberwell 25 years. Was married to Mr. Harris IR years. Knew that the now Mrs. Brand's name was originally Ann Stevens. She lived with Mr. Brand in witness's house under the latter name. Never heard Mr. Brand say that Mr. Page or Mr. Alderman Wood should be put upon their trial. Mr. Brand kept his razors in the table drawer. Alderman Wood and Dr. Paris rearm. mended her to remove them. She did so, and kept them till Tuesday or Wednesday, when she returned them to Mrs. Brand. M Brand shaved himself shortly after. Saw Dr. Paris's nose bleed, bui did not think Mr. Brand meant to strike Dr. Paris. The Doctor wax struck accidentally...... _ _ _ To Mr.'Phillimore—Mr. Brand remained In the house a week after the visit of Dr. Paris and Alderman AVood. His manner before he went away became slightly altered. He complained of the smell in the house, und if two names were mentioned, he said that there appeared to be a great confusion with respect to names. In reply to ,Ir. Brand, the witness said that she thought him per. fectly sane. She would not have any objection to sit in the room with him, if persons would not come into the room a nd t e ll hi m t h a t h e was mad to irritate him. Mr. Harris corroborated Mrs. Harris's statement generally, and said that he saw nothing at all in the conduct of Mr. Brand to induce hint to suppose Mr. Brand was insane. He would rather sit in the company of .Ir. Brand than in that of the mad doctor and his keeper. Thought that Mr. Brand was no more excited after the visit of Dr. Paris and Mr. Alderman Wood, than be (Mr. Harris) would have been. Indeed he should have been more excited than Mr. Brand under the cir. cumstances. To a Juror : Mt. Brand paid him money frequently. Thought that he was perfectly well able to take care of money. To another Juror : He would have no objection in the world to ad. mit Mr. Brand into his house now without a keeps, although witness has seven children. To Mr. Brand : You never asked me what evidence I should give ; nor did you dictate what evidence I should give. I should have re. jected such dictation with disdain. 111 reply to a Juror, who thought that Mr. Alderman Wood ought to be examined, Mr. Phillimore said that he had received a note fro u Alderman Wood's son, in consequence of a summons issued for the attendance of that gentleman, stating that the Alderman was than at Gloucester. A Juror. a Mr. M' William, said that lie could not conscientiously give a verdict in this ease, without hearing the evidence of Mr. Alder man Wood. Some observations arose amongst the Commissioncn and Mr. Brand, on the non-atendance of witnesses, and the forme► gentlemen said that they regrt tied that he had not employed some respectable solicitor to conduct his case and summon witnesses. Mr. Young, Mrs. Brand's' solicitor, here observed that Messrs. Sp lets and Co. and Mr. Gates objected conducting Mr. Brand's case, fearing that they would not be paid. Mr. Brand (in a tone of surprise)—ls this possible? Mr. Phillimore said he was sorry to hear this, because he was e ire that if the Commission were upset, Mr. Brand would very willingly pay his solicitor thr his trouble; if on the contrary the verdict of the jury wax against Mr. Brand, the fiord Chancellor would take care and see that Mr. Brand's solicitor's expenses would be defrayed out of Mr. Brand's estate. There not being any more witnesses in attendance, and it being necessary to afford Mr. Mend time to produce sli the evidence he could, and also to give Mr. Austin time to communicate with Mr. Page, Mr. Brand's uncle, who is the real supporter of the Commis. sion, it was agreed that the further proceedings in the case should be adjourned until Saturday next. i ~.
