The Civil Tribunal of Boulogne-sur-Mer lately gave a decision of great importance to travellers. A g entleman named Shewell brought an action before it against the Eastern and Continental Steam Packet Co ropany, to recover damages for a carpet -bag and its ,contents, some of which were bank-notes, which had been placed on 2d September last on board the company's steamer the Princess Clementine, and which was subsequently lost. The plaintiff proved the delivery of the bag to one of the corepany's men, and its subsequent disappearance ; and he gave reason able proof that it contained bank-notes. Under these circumstances, the Tribunal condemned the com pany's agent at Boulogne, Mr. Bernard, to restore the bag and its contents, or to pay ‘ 2,064 f. damages; and it did so, notwithstanding the company declares in its printed tariffs that it will not be responsible for losses of more than 250 f., unless articles of greater value be previously declared. It has been stated that the masters and second masters of the steamers the Ville de Marseille and Ville de Grasse, which ran into each other in No vember last near the Isles d'llyeres, off Toulon, and caused the death of several passengers, had been brought to trial before the Tribunal of Correctional Police of that city. An account of the commence ment of the trial has already appeared. The affair was brought to a close on Thursday, by the acquittal of the two captains, Mid. Combos and Gazan, and the condemnation of the second of the Ville de Mar seille, M. Bousquet, to a month's imprisonment and 501. fine, and of the second of the Ville de Grasse, M. Allies, to 15 days' imprisonment and 251. fine. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. 11 7 0112'11 WALES ClRCUlT.—Chester, Aug. 16. (Before Mr. Justice CUOMPTON.) THE STOCKPORT RIOTS. Previous to sentencing the prisoners the following witnesses were heard in favour of two of them : Mr. Sleddon and Mr. Axon had known the pri soner Gleave for several years, and he had always been a steady, quiet young man. His father had been a manager of a factory for 12 or 14 years. Several testimonials were handed to the Learned judge in favour of Pell. Mr. WELsursaid he hoped it would be considered that these trials were without prejudice to any pro ceedings that might be taken hereafter, in case the ringleaders should be discovered. iliS LORDSHIP said it had been his intention to have mentioned that these trials would not at all influence any ulterior steps that might be taken against the other guilty persons. VIE SENTENCES. The Learned JUDGE then proceeded to sentence the English prisoners. He said—George Pell, 'William Buttery, and Mark Gleave, you have been severally convicted, by a most attentive jury, of the crime of riot. The jury has been most particularly careful in watching the cases brought before them on this occasion, that they might be certain not to convict anybody on evidence that appeared at all doubtful. I do hope and trust that this investigation has not yet come to a close ; your guilty comrades in this riot must not suppose that they have escaped justice, be cause no doubt further investigations will yet take pl passing se n t ence upon y ou I d o not thatconsi deareeln you have committed an ordinary riot or dis turbance, but a riot the dreadful object of which was to assail the persons and destroy the property, to sack the dwelling-houses and the rich edifices of your fel low-subjects, Roman Catholics and Irishmen, the subjects of the Queen, and under her protection. This outrage was directed against them as Roman Catholics and Irishmen. I grieve to see men of your character and position identified with such a mob, but I must treat you as participators in these outrages. For the sake of public justice it is necessary to treat matters of this kind with great severity. For many years in this country we have not had outrages like these immediately directed against that religious liberty which it is the pride of England to possess. You profane the sacred name of Protestantism in endea vouring to prevent other men worshipping God iu the way they think best. On the last occasion that outrages like these were committed, men in the same position as you are answered with their lives for their crimes, because it was thought necessary for the protection of all religi ous b od i es t h at outrages upon re li g i ous houses and individuals should be punished with death. We live, thank God, under milder laws, and you have not even been indicted under laws which render you liable to transportation. With regard to you, Gleave, you were concerned in all the out rages. You were seen not only stirring the fire before Mr. Frith's house, where all the articles from the house and chapel were consumed, but also coming out of the vestry of the chapel, which was broken into. After a short time you ware seen breaking into the houses of the Roman Catholics in another part of the town, I am, therefore, sa tisfied that you were a party in the transaction not only at Edgeley Chapel, but in every part of the town where there were disturbances, and the sen tence upon you is that you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for the space of two years. As to you, George Pell, you were seen demolishing the chapel. It was proved by the individual who testified to your good character that you could have been there but a short time, yet you joined iu the outrage and were seen with one of the pieces of wood, which must have been torn out of one of the chapels, striking at the walls and demolishing the windows. I have had much difficulty in coming to a conclusion respecting you. I hope lam not doing wrong in giving you 18 months' imprisonment and hard labour. You, Georgeißutt ery , a ll owe d yourself to join in the out rage, and the sen t ence u pon you will be the same that you be i m p r i sone d and kept to hard labour for 18 months. The three prisoners wept, and appeared very much distressed. Prior to the sentences being passed upon the Irish prisoners Mr. Welsby called Mr. Sadler, who said that the prisoners had never been in custody or before the magistrates upon any charge. THE SENTENCES UPON THE IRISHMEN. TobliTomhaeransl:eßaroned JUDGE said—Thomas Feeney, Patrick evidence tha y t e c up a minus g rt e r r abm M e 'TDheorminaostt, Garvey, and a M nd ‘D p or a m tr o ie t k t, Naughton, armednh yna'ov cannot be h all d i been sput e d s e , v o e f r a a l l v y e convicted,ry serious riot on proceeded a e t You udows andawigthrepaotkers, to make of inflicting great in indeed. and many yourselvesraiake sickles,disturbance, instruments In jury, and breaking assaulting ll people in the streets, but I hope that not ' brutality which was a of you were guilty of the the crime of one of you. The laws of this country will not tolerate party fights such other parts of the kingdom. Al though you injured of the housesindividuals, you did not break into the houses, and therefore I do not think your riot is so dreadful a one as that of the other At that prisoners just sentenced. the same time I remem ber what Mr. Sadler said, you kept within your houses when he said you should Mr. Sadler I learn also that th be protected. From e received information of outrage in other parts ofthe town before yours began, but you assembled together before there were any disturbances. With regard to you, Thomas M u rphy, it is difficult to ex press the indignation that one feels for the brutality that you and others were guilty of. ";;A harmless, unoffending man coming down th© streets of Stockport, having been sent by his mistress fo r h is master, surroundedwas met by men, probably ten or twelve to one, who ham mered him on the head with him and br. kbats. If that out rage had been carried a little further, you, Thomas Murphy, would, perhaps, have had to answer for his death. The se n t e nce of the Court upon you is, that you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for fifteen ca lendar months. You, Feeney, were seen as a ring leader, break in g into ho uses, giving the mob orders, and you yo urself were throwing stones. The sen • t en se upon you will be that you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for ten calendar months. You, P a trick Naught on, were convicted of an assault upon Pearso n, and were seen throwing stones at the sc hool. The se nten ce upon you is, that you be im prisoned and kept to hard labour for six months.

As for Michael M‘Dermott I sorry to see one so young ie hisposition ' am ; he was seen throwing a stone into Mr. Graham's house. If I thought he was throwing the stone u.h at Mrs. Gra ham I should give him greater stone did ; but I think it was not so, because the enter the room through the window where she lnot . was sitting. The sentence upon you is, that you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two months. The English prisoners were then indicted for de molishing the Edgeley Ch apel and Mr. Frith' Pell and Buttery were indicted for feloniously a b ho g ase. cling to demolish a chapel. There were other • %int ments against the prisoners for felony in Indict ments to demolish the houses and chapels and b-'-- 0 Roman Catholics. They all pleaded not Hilt I y, a • verdict of Acquittel was ordered to he taken. THE MURDER, CASE, ARISING OUT Or TUB RIOTS. Matthew Mulligan was charged with hav i n g mur dered Michael Moran on the 29th of J une l as t , at Stockpbit. • ' Mr. Welsby and Mr. Davison were counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Wlntyre on behalf of the pri. in Bamford soner. Mr. WELSBY state d the case. said—On Tuesday, J u ne 29, I was living James Flanaghan w as the first witness called. ,r, Jae street, Stockport. The deceased lived • wih us. H had come over f ro m Ireland about three weeks be e fore. On the evening. of that day the deceased and I went to Ryley's, in Rock-row. We reached there about seven o'clock, All was quiet then. Ryley was not at home. We remained there about twenty minutes o r better, and then went eight o'c,ocu. up Lord-street. It would not be far offi _ i then. We saw a mob of about 100 people com i ng down the street meeting us. They were English. I had not seen any Irish until I made my escape. I saw I was in danger, and I made my escape. Moran was with me. I left him near Barlow's beerhouse, opposite Baxter's shop, at the corner of Lord street and Wellington-road. After making my escap e I returned in three or four minutes, and saw Moran about a yard or a yard and a half from Baxter's shop. He was lying on his face, with a large cut on the right aide of the head. He spoke to me, and I, with the assistar.ca of an Englishman, assisted him back to Ryley's. Was afterwards assisted by an Irishman. Then went for Mr. Sheldon, surgeon, who examined his head. While at Ryley's a mob came there. We had then taken Moran up stairs and laid him on the bed. It would then be about ten o'clock. The mob took all the furniture outside and destroyed it. We were up stairs when the police came. They told us to come down stai rs , an d they would se e us p rote cted. They Went with Moran to loo k for a doctor. At, i Englishman assisted me to take Moran along. We could not find any surgeon's ope n . When I brou g h t Moran outside there were several hundred English men about the door. The Englishman who was as sisting me said, "Don't strike him an y more, he ha s had enough." One of the crowd said, " He's an Irish man," and struck him with a large lamp of wood on i the left side of the head. lam sure it was on the left side of the head. It was on the different side to that of the first blow. The deceased said, "Oh dear, lem done." I then got him to the court-house, anti he was seen by Mr. Walters. I remaned with him until a quarter or twenty minutes past eleven o'clock. He was alive when:l left him, but I never saw him alive after. He did not speak after he was struck with the wood, but sighed and moaned very much, and also after the first blow. Thay asked his name at the court-house, but he was not able to tell them. Cross-examined by Mr. M'lrsTruE—When I and the Englishman assisted him to Ryley's house he walked all the way. By the JUDGE—The deceased walked when he came out of Ryley's with my assistance and the assistance of an Englishman. After he received the last blow he could not walk at all. John Wood, moulder, living at Stockport, deposed to being knocked down on the evening in question, and to having seen the prisoner with a poker. Martha Warcham—l am the wife of William War eham, living in Wellington-street. Was in Lord street on the night in question, between eight o'clock and five minutes past. Upon looking down Lord street from the corner of Wellington-street saw a mob of Irishmen coming from St. Peter's-square. On looking up Lord-street saw about fifty lads running and the Irish after them. Saw two young men in conversation against the wall at Barlow's corner. They were John Wood and Isaac Wood. There saw two Irishmen running from Sandy-brow towards Wellington-street. One of thew, with a blue slop, had a half brick in his hand and the other bad stones on his arm. The man with the slop threw the half brick, and it struck John Wood on the back. I saw Wood run into Baxter's shop. Shortly after I turned round and saw a man in light clothes and J. Wood down together. A man came up with a stick with an iron crook in his hand. He struck the man in the light clothes on the left side of the head. Am quite sure of that. The men then ran down Lawrence street. " Murder" was then called. I went to the man in light clothes, who was between Baxter's and Goodwin's windows. Wood, the man who was un dermost, had got away. The man who had got light clothes on had got a stone in his hand, and when he got the blow with the crook it rolled over Wood's shoulder to the ground. The man who had been struck was then in the act of rising as if to get away, when a young boy came up with a poker and hit the man in light clothes, with both hands, on the right hand side of the head.: Tae man fell to the ground like lead. I turned round to the man who struck, and said, " Thou murdering thief, thou has killed him." That was the prisoner, lam sure of it. Saw him at the inquest and recognised him. The man who was struck was a good-looking young man, he was an Irishman. Cross-examined--When I saw the blow struck I saw Mr. Axon close to where the struggling was going on. The man with the poker went as far as St. Peter's Church. William Wareham, husband of the last witness, who was with her at the time, corroborated her statement. He identified the prisoner as the person who had struck the deceased with the poker. 'Witness spoke to the prisoner, and said he deserved hanging, and ought to have the poker taken from him. Cross-examined—There was not a blow struck by an Englishman at that time. lam certain those lads did not strike the man. Saw the prisoner in custody about a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes after. Elizabeth Kirkham, who lives inWellington-street, stated that on the night in question, when in Welling ton-street, she saw John Wood struck by a man over the head with something he had in his hand. John Wood and that man came to the ground together, Wood under. Wood got away; then the other man was getting up, when the prisoner passed witness with a poker in his hand. Should not have seen hisn, but he touched her elbow in passing. He then struck the man who was getting up with the poker over his head. The man fell do wn, and witness ran away. John Hoyle, who lives at the corner of Welling ton-street, deposed to Moran, the deceased, and Wood wrestling together. Both fell, and just before Morau could get up he was struck with a poker on the right side of the head. Wood had then got away among the crowd. Moran fell to the ground from the blow of the poker. The prisoner struck the blow with the poker. Thomas Powell gave evidence similar to the above. George Cadman, one of the police-officers, deposed to having ,apprehended the prisoner on the night in question in Lord-street, at from five to ten minutes past eight o'clock. Apprehended him at the top end, and, as he passed down the street, it was exactly a quarter-past eight by St. Peter's Church. The pri soner ran into a house, and, from what was said by the people about, he apprehended him. The prisoner had a sickle in his hand, and he dropped it. Medical evidence was given to prove that death was caused by fracture of the skull. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. M'lNTyttE then addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. The Learned JUDGE then proceeded to explain to the jury the difference between the crimes of murder and manslaughter; after which he read through the whole of the evidence. The jury then retired, and after an absence of forty minutes returned a verdict of Guilty of man slaughter. The prisoner Mulligan was sentenced to fifteen years' transportation. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 16. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice WIGUT MAN.) GRUNDY V. CAPE. In this case Mr. Atherton, Q.C., and Mr. Seger appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins for the defendant. This was an action for libel, in which the plaintiff sought compensation in damages for having been termed by the defendant, in a letter to a Mr. Hobson, " a liar and a scoundrel." It appeared that the defendant had a house and garden to dispose of at Manchester, and that Mr. Hobson wished to take it, with the furni ture and plants, at a valuation. As the parties could not agree to take an old valuation by a Mr. Fisher, it was then agreed that each should appoint a valuer, and Mr. Hobson appointed Mr. Grundy, the plaintiff, who is an auctioneer, as his valuer, Mr. Grundy saying that he did not know much about plants, but that he would arrange about that. Subsequently, in a conversation with the defendant, Mr. Grundy was understood to say he was directed not t o va lue the plants. This led to a dispute between Mr. Hobson and Mr. Cape, Mr. Grundy denying that he had said anything of the kind, when the defendant wrote a letter to Mr. Hob son, stating he had no hesitation in saying that Grundy " was a li a r and a scoundrel." The plain , tiff, on cross-examination, denied that he had been before likened to "a harp struck by lightning," or to a " blasted lyre." For the defence it was urged that the conduct of the plaintiff had not been straightforward in the matter; that the defendant was a man of warm tern perament, and called things by their right names ; that he did not, as a certain noble lord was said to have done, when he wished to politely impute false. hood to another, say that "he had postponed the interests of truth to the expediency of the moment," but called a wheelbarrow a wheelbarrow, and said of the defendant what he thought of him. The damage, however, was of the most trivial kind ; and, whatever their verdict, the plaintiff would eat his mutton chop after the trial as heartily as he appeared to have eaten his breakfast before it. His LORDSHIP summed up the evidence to the jury, and _ _ - The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—D& maps 40s. The Court, in the course of the day, got into the second list, and disposed of a number of unde fended cases. CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord Chief Justice CAMPBELL.) John Morgan, aged 28, and Michael Olcffield, aged 43, were indicted, the first with stealing, and the latter with receiving, knowing it to be stolen, bills and notes to the amount of r 5/., the property of the Postmaster- General. Mr. Adolphus, Q.C., and Mr. Milward ap peered for the prosecution; the prisoners were un. defended. It appeared that a person named Hoyle on the 17th o f last February, posted a letter at H a lifax, contain ing a 50/., a 291., and a Si. no t e , addressed to "Messrs. Glendenning and Wil s on, soap-boilers , Liverpool." This letter never arrived at its destina tion, i and inquiries were theref o r e instituted respect ing t. It appeared that Messrs. Glendenning and Wilson resided in the district for which the prisoner Morgan was lettercarrier. It was also proved in evidence that the prisoner Oldfield, a short time after the letter was missing, went to a bedding manufac turer, and ordered a qu antity of bedding to be made up i n two parcels, for which he paid a 201 . note. This note was identified as the one which had been sent in the missing letter. Morgan afterwards ordered a carrier to go an d fetch these parcels from the bedding manufacturer's, in order that th7y might be sent to Seaforth. Th e carr i er havinggot the goods took them to a public-house near at band, where the pri soners were waiting for him. His LORDSHIP having summed up the evidenc e , th e jury found both the prisoners Guilty. They were sentenced to be transported for 10 years. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. John Hazzard, a police constable, surrendered to take his trial upon an .indictment charging him with wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. Duncan prosecuted ; Mr. Ballant;ne was coun sel for the defendant. The prosecutor of this indictment WU a person grocez'o and 0 401 0 0 5 named Cavalier, w ho keeps shop in the Commercial-road East, and w . ho, it ap peared, also holds a licence for the sale of beer, but who has no taproom or other ordinary place for beer to be drunk upon his premises. Holding a beershop licence, however, he veal. amenable to the police regu lations having reference to such establishments, one of which was, in this district, that all the beershops should be closed at 12 o'clock at night, and not be opened before five o'clock in the morning, and it ap peared that on the 16th of June the prosecutor was summoned, at the instance of the present defendant, before Mr. Yardley, at the Thames Police-court, to answer a charge of having kept his house open after 12 o'clock at night on the 7th of June. Upon that occasion the defendant was examined as a witness in support of the charge, and it appeared that he stated that he went into the house at 20 minutes past 12 o'clock on the morning of the Bth of June, and that he saw five persons drinking and stnokinte in front of the bar. Evidence was afterwards adduced on behalf of the defendant, and in the result the information was dismissed by the magistrate. A summons was then obtained against the defendant, calling upon him to answer the present charge, and he appeared before the magistrate for that purpose ; but owing, as it was stated, to the counsel for the pro secution being prevented from attending to support the charge, no evidence was offered, and the present indictment was subsequently preferred before the grand jury. A great number of witnesses were now examined on behalf of the prosecution, and from their evidence it appeared that upon the night in question several peasons had been in the house drinking and smoking, but they all swore positively that the house was cleared before 12 o'clock, and that at the time the policeman went in no person was inside the house. It was admitted, however, that close to the hour of 12 persons answering the description of those spoken to by the defendant were in the house or close to it. Mr. BALLINTINE, in his address to the jury for the defendant, commented, in the first place, upon the absence of any motive on the part of the constable to prefer a false charge of this description, and also-upon the improbabili:T that ho should have deliberately made such an accusation if there were really no grounds to support it. He then commented upon the character of some of the witnesses who had been exa mined on behalf of the prosecution, and said that it appeared to him the probability was that the de fendant had told the truth of the transaction, and that the utmost that could be alleged against him was that he might have made a slight mistake with regard to the time. Thomas Johnson, who was formerly a constable belonging to the same division as the defendant, was called as a witness in his behalf, and he deposed that he was on duty upon a beat adjoining that of the de fendant on the night in question, and he joined him soon after twelve o'clock. It was their duty to watch the beershops, and see that they were closed at twelve o'clock, and, in consequence of something the defen dant said to him, he looked at his watch, snd saw that it was twenty minutes past twelve o'clock. After this he saw five men and two women come out of the house of the prosecutor, and the defendant went across and knocked at the door, and in about two minutes the door was opened and he went in. In cross-examination this witness said that since the time in question he had been dismissed from the po lice for being out, contrary to the regulations of the force, during the period when he was off duty on ac count of sickness. James Mlntosh, a sergeant in the prisoner's di vision, proved that on the morning of the Bth of June he made a report to him in reference to the house of the prosecutor. He also said that the defendant had been in the force for two years and a half, and had always behaved very well, and was a very good officer. Inspector Kendall likewise spoke favourably of the character of the defendant. The R ECORDER summe d up; and The jury, after very little deliberation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty'. Mr. DUNCAN applied for the expenses of the prose cution. The RECORDER said be was not satisfied that he ought to allow them. He was anxious to discourage the proceeding of parties going before the grand jury, instead of having a charge investigated by a magistrate. In this case also it appeared that an appointment was made to have the case investigated by a magistrate, but the prosecutor did not think proper to offer any evidence. Mr. DUNCA N assured the court that t h e reason for this was that he was detained in the Court of Exche quer, and was consequently unable to appear before the magistrate to conduct the prosecution. The RECORDER said he thought this was not a sa tisfactory explanation. It was a very simple case, and might have been inquired into without the assistance of counsel. If such an inquiry had been gone into, he thought it very probable the ease would never have come to this court, and at present he should make no order with regard to the expenses. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. RUSSELL GURNEY, Q.C.) John Carthy, 26, labourer, was indicted for the manslaughter of Joseph Dunmore, jun. The charge arose out of a fight, which took place in July, 1849, at Plumstead, when Dunmore received injuries that resulted in his death. The prisoner had acted as second at the fight. The jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced to one month's imprisonment. James Wilson, 32, victualler, surrendered to take his trial for felony. Mr. Parry defended. It appeared that the prisoner assisted his brother, who keeps the King's Arms, Bishopagate, and on the 17th of June the prosecutor, Mr. Mark Sanders, was there playin g a t bagatelle. Prisoner was in the room, as also were two police officers, all joining in the game. One of the constables was in uniform. In the course o f th e game the prosecutor said to prisoner that all the money he had was a fonrpenny-piece. Upon this they began larking with each other, and prisoner took from prosecutor's pocket his gold watch and chain, valued at 171. Prosecutor, thinking it was but a joke, merely told the prisoner to take care and not break the chain. Directly after prisoner had taken the watch he went away, but prosecutor, thinking that he would bring it back, did not either follow him or ask to have it returned until be was leaving the house at night. Prisoner not coming back, pro secutor gave information to Hall, a constable of the City, and he want to prisoner's lodgings, in Hoxton, the next day, and saw prisoner, who at once admitted that he had pawned the watch and chain, and spent the money, but that prosecutor had told him he might use it for that purpose, as he had once owed him 2101. The prosecutor denied this. Several witnesses having given prisoner a good character, the jury, after some deliberation, Acquitted POLICE, IN TELLICT— -4 GE ERE EN IVE 1,;. 1' liq CE.

It will probably be recollected by some of oar readers that in April, 1843, a tall, gau nt, and ex. tremely repulsive woman was brought up at • tbe Mansion-house, before the Lord Mayor (Alderman Humphery), charged, upon strong suspicion, of having, stolen a child, which was believed to be the child of respectable parents. 'lle facts, as they elicied were briefly these :—The woman, who v gsB° the most depraved and filthy habits, had been seen beg: ging about the metropolis and its suburbs with a child about three years of age, which she, notwithstanding its apparent repugnance, continued, or pretended, to. suckle. At length, in a state of utter exhaustion and or distress, she applied for admission to the Asylu m Refuge for for the Houseless Poor, where she was a tended by a kind-hearted benevolent gentleman, 9 , r * were theaf Bowie, the surgeon to the institution, who, dar' l3 . 6 the progress of her cure, was struck with the remax l ; able contrast between the woman and the c hild, an d e the evident superiority of form and feature in the latter, and so great was the dissimilarity that . at once concluded there could be no close rela t ion between them, and that she had in all stolen the child. Acting under this conviction be, with Mr. Edwards, chairmen of the institutiou, o tamed a warrant for the woman's apprehension, t_; on her recovery she was at once taken saidbefor e , h er Lord Mayor. On her examination there she the name was Mary Tnompson, and that she w ia " dea widow of a Cornish smuggler, w ho coin— an . a , ch a small craft called the Mary Ann, is which probabilbity s o h f e alleged the child was born, in the 01 1 0 madeFebrnraunayry,nonl4ll,ngwhnitlaetemonuntts,atburathe hers she b ultimately adhered to was that the child vole De.% y a man named Holloway, and born before her mar riage . with Sarauel Thompson.

GERMANY. The Germanic Diet held its last sitting before the vacation, at Frankfort, on the 12th. It passed by a large majority a resolution, that the Constitution of Frankfort can only be revised in conformity with the dispositions of the supplementary Act of 1819, and under the express reservation of all the rights of the Diet. A letter from Stuttgart of the 10th says :—" The French Embassy has invited the clergy of the Ca tholic Church of our city to celebrate divine service on the 15th, but as that is a Sunday, and Assumption day, the clergy have replied that it is impossible to do so this year on the 15th, but they have offered to perform a service on another day." A letter from Vienna, 9th, states that M. de Hul semanns, the Austrian ambassador to the United States, will not leave for his post so soon as was at first expected. The French Government follows with great interest the proceedings of the Customs' Conferences, and has charged its agents to send cir cumstantial accounts. Tne French ambassador at Vienna has received orders to declare that the French Government was disposed to enter into negotiations for the conclusion of the treaty of commerce and customs. _ _ The Emperor of Austria has given orders for the re-organization of the army. The infantry of the line is to be composed of 62 regiments, each divided into four battalions, and also a battalion of grenadiers, and a depot battalion. The total numb er o f men an d officers in each regiment will be 5,964. By a recent decree, the alloy of silver money with copper, in the Austrian Empire, is fixed at 10 per cent. of the weight, and the old coins, with the excep tion of the Marie Theresa crowns, which are used in the trade with the east, are to be recoined. VENTILATION AND LIGHTING THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. Such of our readers as attempt—stern in the pursuit of knowledge—to master the " Second Report from the Select Committee on Ventilation and Lighting of the House [of Commons]; together with the Proceedings of the Committee, Minutes of Evidence, Appendix, and Index," will find it a tough job. It fills 670 pages, the greater part of it, as, humbly, it scemeth to us, the merest verbiage and twaddle that ever nation had to pay for printing. Lots of sack, and only a " ha'porth" of bread. On ono point nearly all the witnesses, with the exception of those that might be depended on, are agreed, and that is the want of the first necessary and condition for life in the new House of Commons. The inquiry further proves, what is useful to be known, that we are still floundering in ignorance of this subject, and that opinions diametrically oppooite, and in some cases dangerous to deadliness, are entertained by men who have the confidence of large numbers of persons. The Committee were evidently posed. They worked hard: some of them put pertinent questions, and tried to get at princ4:de9; but with small results, and the conse quence is a report which leaves the real question very nearly where it was, excepting by negation. They are able to say that the " Committee desire to give it as their opinion that the failure of ventilation of the House of Commons, at the commencement of the session, can not fairly be imputed to any radical defect in Dr. Reid's system, because the House was hastily occupied, with an infinity of arrangements incomplete; and the light ing, from which the greatest amount of mischief arose, was neither contrived by Dr. Reid nor under his control." They are of opinion that much improvement would be effected by an enlargement of the openings, both for the supply and discharge of air; but the only recommenda tion that they make, "in the present conflicting state of opinion," is, as regards future management, that " the entire responsibility of ventilating and lighting the house, and its appendages, should be confided to one competent person, under the direction and supervision suchon comp l aints."
