HAMBURG, Nov. 26, 1834 HEINE BROTHERS, Contractors for the GREAT LOTTERY, published and drawn by authority and under guarantee of the Hamburg Government, beg to inform the public, that the 65th Lottery of 10,000 Tickets will be drawn on the 18th of March next; and Tickets are now selling at 108 marks banco, or 81. The prizes are lof 100,000, lof 50,000, lof 30,000, 1 of 20,000, 1 of 10,000, 2 of 5,000, 4 of 3,000, 7 of 2,000, 20 of 1,000, 40 of 500, and 1,500 of 108 marks, which 1,578 money prizes are altogether stated ;n marks banco, and payable without any deduction whatever; 4,000 tickets being delivered gratis to the holders of the 2,000 first-drawn tickets, as per scheme, those purchasing one ticket, at the trifling cost of 81., may obtain three prizes, and thus, if fortune proves favourable, gain 180,000 marks banco, at the present exchange, equal to 13,0001. sterling. Owing to the gratis-tickets, the number of tickets on sale is a very limited one, so that, of course, they will be cleared off very rapidly, and a rise in price occur very soon. Those desirous to purchase at the present first price of ,1., are requested to direct, by one of the first mails, but only for whole tickets, to the above-named Con tractors, Heine Brothers, in Hamburg. Those remitting a 10/. note will receive an order for the balance of 21., together with the ticket, by return of mail ; on the other hand, those preferring to pay Heine Brothers' draft for the cost, are recommended to pay such draft immediately when presented. A full scheme, and every desirable information, being always sent with the ticKets, those giving orders will only have to write a line, ordering the ticket or tickets, adding the money, or an order for the same, er stating the mode of payment that may be more convenient to the erderer, and giving their full and plain directions, to secure the safe receipt of the communications. Those honouring Heine Brothers by pur chasing, may depend on the strictest secrecy, as to their taking a chalice er getting a prize ; such being the undeviating rule of the old-established and most lucky Office.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday and Thursday have all been received ; the journals of the 4th having been delayed, in consequence of the unfavourable state of the weather, until a late hour yesterday. In several of these papers we find various rumours of individual changes in the Cabinet; to which the present state of affairs in France inclines us to give implicit credence. The most important of these is the retirement of M. DE RIGNY from the Foreign Department, which we believe to be cotrect ; and his being suc ceeded by M. TRIERS, which we think rather improbable, though at present such a step is not one which M. TRIERS would positively decline taking. The present Minister for Foreign Affairs is, by all accounts, an easy, good-natured kind of man ; neither remarkable for his talents, his acquirements, or that innate force of mind, which is proof against the suavity and blandishments of Court intriguantes, and the importunity of experienced diplomatists. Neither does he possess that presence of mind and fertility of invention which enable: a Minister to appear composed when surrounded by the greatest difficulties, and to seize, by a species of intuitive certainty, on the safest and surest method of extricating himself, without betraying the extreme danger of his position. Fortunately for M. DE RIGNY, he is no stranger to the weakness of his own character, and knows himself as well as most men in his exalted station ever allow themselves to be known to themselves. He sees the storm which is gathering, and would escape it, if he could do so without compromising his character. The question relative to the claims of America must be brought before the Chamber in a proper form, in the course of a few days. This he is not, and can not make himself prepared for, in such a way as to command the respect, and meet the argu ments of the Chamber. All he can say is : " We must either pay the sum demanded by the Americans or fight them ; the President has left us no other alternative ; so if you do not choose to pay twenty-five millions of francs for the sake of peace, why then, grant me double that sum to equip a fleet, and let us go to war. The vote of Congress does not touch the vitality of the question—it merely puts off its consideration, until your vote shall have been ascer tained. Say, then, shall we have, peace or war?—with you rests the decision." Such is in substance the only language which M. DE RIGNY is at present prepared to utter ; which certainly is neither statesman-like nor to the purpose. To justify the demand made on France by the United States, he knows himself ineom petent ; and to call upon the Chamber of Deputies to vote upon a question of such moment, on the strength of an argument like the above, is evidently to place it in the dangerous dilemma f aving its vote regarded by Foreign Powers as he result of cowardice or wounded vanity—not as it ought to be, the calm deli berate opinion of a legislative assembly, adhering to no principle but justice ; biased by no prejudices but such as are consistent with the proper guar dianship of the deputed rights of a free and a powerful people. Congress, in consideration of the dignity of France, has been pleased to waive the question between the two Powers, until the Chambers shall have deliberated upon it, lest the French Deputies might apprehend themselves acting from compulsory motives ; and now we have the Fo reign Minister ready to assume the part of General JACKSON, and to bully the Chamber from inability to reason with it. This cannot be suffered. The KING himself cannot be so blind to the na tional honour, as to permit such an in sult being offered it. The Members of the Chamber of Deputies are, we are confident, not less sensitive with regard to their honour than FALSTAFF, and will be as chary of their money as the worthy Knight was of his reasons—on compulsion. Neither ought the question to be submitted to them in any form implying restraint : it is solely a question of equity—of national good faith—of the fulfilment of public treaties—not an attempt to swindle, or bully, or intimidate in any way. Then again there is the question of the indemnity of Russia upon which M. DE RIGNY has already com mitted himself, past all recal and explanation in the Chamber, so that he can never bring it forward unless a balance should appear for France—a most im probable expectation. When this question was mooted some ten or fifteen days since, he positively declared that the whole affair would terminate in the exposition of the fact, that France does not owe Russia a single sous ; but that, on the contrary, it would be made appear, that a balance is due from Russia to France. This closes his mouth on a most important subject, which will shortly claim the consideration of the Chamber, in a form the reverse of that represented by the too sanguine Minister. The third reason for the retirement of M. DE RIGNY is the most important yet stated—a reason which de mands the serious consideration of the Reformers of Great Britain and Ireland. It is rumoured in the highest political circles in Paris, that the Duke of WELLINGTON meditates a complete change in all our Foreign relations, and that the treaties entered into by this country with France are to be sacrificed. This, of course, would lead to some unexpected events, one of the first of which is stated to be the establishment of Don CARLOS on the throne of Spain. This apprehension is much strengthened by the reception which General ALAVA received from the Noble Duke on his arrival in Lon don in December, bearing letters from the QUEEN REGENT, requesting the co-operation of England in putting an end to the rebellion in Navarre, in accord ance with the spirit of the Quadruple Treaty, to which Great Britain was a party. His Grace on that occasion was pleased as a first step, and on his own responsibility, to inform the Spanish General that the present Government in- tended to act as if such a treaty had never existed—or that, in short, its exercise would be suspended while the Tories remained in power. The presence of Count Pozzo DI BORGO in London—the expected arrival of Prince Es TERHAnt—and the public joy which has been manifested by all the northern despots, on the re storation of the Tories to power in this country, has justly alarmed Louis PHILIPPE, for the sacrifice of French interests, which he knows the Duke will make to the Representatives of the Holy Alliance. Happily, however, it is in the power of a British House of Commons to remove all apprehensions on this head. The Duke and his party will not be suf fered to remain long enough in office, to plunge Europe into civil war. Parliament shall not have many days assembled before the Tories are driven from office, and the Government of the country is again entrusted to men, who will fulfil all treaties entered into with the Free States of Europe. Admiral DE RIGNY is thought incompetent to cope with the host of diplomatists, who are all leagued against liberty and France. The KING may individually incline to the policy of the Ger manic Confederation ; but he knows right well, at the same time, that he is looked upon by the Members of the Aulic Council as a novus homo— a Royal adventurer, whom the first ebullition of po • pular phrenzy may hurl from the pinnacle of supreme power, to the lowest depths of degradation. He knows that in the end, his sole support is the peo ple, and to save himself he must protect their interests from the machinations of foreign States. Thinking, however, that much may yet be done by conciliation, and that the best way is not to appear alarmed, it is proposed to send M. de RIGNY as Ambassador to London, as a substitute for TAL LEYRAND, and to commit the foreign department to the vigilance, keenness, and activity of M. THiEn s. In this position all remains at present ; but no person can divine what the next hour may bring forth. If, as the King of the FRENCH supposes, the Duke of WELLINGTON seriously resolves upon the triumph of Don CA RLOS in Spain, we may be prepared for another war in Portugal ; and a renewal of the horrors of civil messacre between Belgium and Holland. This would be a most desirable state of things for the CZAR of Muscovy, whose eagles might then, unscared by English thunder, float over the mosque of St. Sophia. The domestic intelligence contained in the journals is unimportant. Various rumours are in circulation respecting the appointment of General SEBA STIA NI, and the probability of his succeeding TALL EYRAND in London ; but they merit no serious attention. The Chamber of Deputies continues its sittings, but a re port of its proceedings for some days past is not worth being published. FRENCH FUNDS —Papas, FEB. 5. Five per Cents., 108 f. 35c. 40c. 35c.

The spirited speech delivered by Lord PALMERSTON, on Thursday last, at a public dinner given to the two Reform Members for Portsmouth, was worthy of his Lordship, his principles, and those of the Government of which he was so lately a member. His Lordship openly avowed himself one of the most determined opponents of the Peel A dministration ; declaring , that it was impossible that a Government, con stituted of such materials as composed the present Administration, could, under any circumstances, realise the just expectations of the people. We are glad to witness this additional proof of the unanimity of purpose and opinion which pervades the members of the late Government; because we anticipate that it will powerfully contribute to the downfall of the Tories.

COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke of Cumberland and the Duke of Sussex visi!ed the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday at Gloucester-house. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria walked for some time in Hyde-park yesterday. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-office, which was attended by all the Ministers in tol.a. The Council remained nearly three hours in deliberation. M. de Moraes Sa rmen t o , th e P ortuguese Mi n i ster , visited the Duke of Wellington yesterday at the Foreign. office. Sir John Rae R e id an d a numerous d eputat i on h a d aninter view yesterday with the Right Hon. Alexander Baring at tie office of the Board of Trade. Mr. Buxton had an interview yesterday with the Ear) of Aberdeen at the Colonial-office. The Marquis Camden visited Mr. Secretary Goulburn yes terday at the Home-office, and also visited the Duke of Wel lington at the Foreign-office. Despatches were sent off on Thursday evening from the Co lonial-office to the Governors of the North American Colonies. SIR F. BURDETT.—It having been said in some of the evening papers that Mr. de Vear had received a letter from Sir Francis Burdett, stating his intention of coming to town for medical advice, in consequence of a tumour in his face ; Mr. de Vear desires us to state that his letter from Sir Francis was dated the 18th of January, since which he has good authority to believe that Sir Francis's disorder has ceased. The late Countess of Fingall was sister to the late Malachy Donelan, Esq., of Ballydonelan, one of the most ancient Catholic families in the county of Galway. Her Lady ship was in her 69th year, and the venerable and afflicted Earl has exceeded 74 years ; he will, indeed, have to sustain an ir reparable loss, their happy union having existed upwards of forty years. Her Ladyship's remains are to be conveyed to Ireland, for interment at Killeen Castle, county Meatb, in the vault of the Plunket family, of which the venerable survivor is the head. LAW BRIBERY.—In the reign of Queen Elizabeth it was the custom for persons of landed property to bribe at tornies not to be mischievous. The account of a steward to a nobleman, which is deposited in the British Museum, has the following item :—" Gave an annuity of 101. per annum to an attorney, to stop him, as he was a title bringer, and solicitor to encourage a claimant." THE DUKE OF SUTHERLAND.—In our last we stated that the Dukes of Sutherland and Hamilton had sent in their adhesion to the present Government. We first saw the announcement in a London paper ; and our own information, from a private source, led us to believe that it was correct. We have, however, this week received the following note from his Grace the Duke of Sutherland :—" The Duke of Suther. land, having observed a statement in the York Chronicle that he had sent in his adhesion to the present Administration, thinks it right to acquaint the editor of that respectable journal that he is not aware of any circumstance authorising such a statement.—Feb. 1, 1835."—York Chronicle. CASTLE BAYNARD WARD.—An address (beau tifully written on vellum by Mr. Challenor) has been presented by the electors - of the above ward to Mr. Robert Slade, on his retirement as one of their representatives in the Court of Common Council, recording the unanimous thanks of the electors for the zeal and ability with which he discharged the duties of the office for the long period of 47 years, and expres sive of the high respect and esteem in which he is held, not only by themselves, but by the citizens at large. The Bank of Ireland will lose about 8,0001. a year by the order of the Lord Chancellor just issued, for converting the moneys in Bank belonging to minors and lunatics into Stock.—lrish Paper. O'Connell is at work in Ireland sowing rancour and ripening it fast into rebellion. He has just made a dis jointed speech to a pack of ragamuffins whom he styles the " Anti-Tory Association." The topics resorted to by the agi tator were abuse against the excellent and public-spirited gen tleman Mr. John Latouche, which was evidently the compound working of mortified vanity and malignant hatred—high praise of electioneering priests of Kerry—vindication of the death's.. head and cross-bosses' atrocity—and a more than usual quan tum of virulence against the editor of the Times. But the grand overture to this performance was " Repeal of the Union," " the blessings of a domestic Government ;" and it is this wild beast, who exists only to tear out the vitals of the British em -pire, that the Whigs of England, the King's ex-Ministers, and their partisans, are leaguing with hourly for the overthrow of the King's present advisers, that jointly with O'Connell, the destroyer of the united kingdom, they may ensure to his Ma jesty the loss of his Irish crown, and to the British nation a mortal enemy at their threshold.— Times. Last week the workmen employed in excavating a vault at the Abbey discovered a tessellated pavement, which they unfortunately mutilated, and sold the fragments to the curious for small sums.—Bath Chronicle. An evening school, for educating the young chim ney-sweepers of Brighton, has lately been established. A large proportion of those now in Brighton attend it regularly, and evince the greatest desire to obtain instruction. In an action brought by an editor of a daily paper in this city, the principle has been established, that persons continuing to receive a periodical, without paying up arrear ages and giving notice to the editor of a wish for its discon tinuance, are liable for the price of the same as long as it is sent. This is in accordance with common honesty, as well as common law. There are those who at first make the small price of a periodical an excuse for delaying payment, and then, after receiving it for years, make the largeness of the amount an argument with conscience for delaying payment altogether. —New York Observer. BEWARE OF CHRONOLOGY.—I would be guarded in my chronology from the circumstance of a choleric Mile sian, in whose company I lately had the misfortune to dine, insisting upon parading me because I saw cause to demur to his assertion that "it was Bradshaw, the regicide, who mar ried Miss Mary Ann Tree, of Covent- Garden Theatre."— " Juan," in the Sporting Magazine. The new work of fiction, entitled " The Heir Pre sumptive," from the pen of Lady Stepney, contains some ex quisite lyrical pieces, which scatter some additional beauties through these very interesting volumes. These will be soon appropriated by some popular composer. FRENCH CRITIQUE ON MILTON.—Milton is a tedious barbarian, who writes a commentary, in ten books of rumbling verse, on the first chapter of Genesis. He is a slo venly imitator of the Greeks; he disfigures creation, and, instead of producing the world by the fiat of God, like Moses, sets the Messia to bungle at tracing out, with a pair of com passes of celestial manufacture. He spoils Tasso's hell and devils, and makes Satan a casuist in divinity. Upon the whole, the " Paradise Lost" is obscure, whimsical, and disagreeable. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, FEB. s.—The market continues in a cheerful and healthy state ; prices are steady, and the sales have been 3,500 bags. The holders bring their Cotton very fairly on the market, and this en. courages buyers to take their supply the more freely. One of the Old Clyde Shipping Company's steam ers, the Active, in coming up the river on Thursday afternoon, struck the ground, which caused her to make so much water, that, beLre she could be run ashore, she sunk. She had a considerable quantity of goods on board at the time of the acs cident.—Scottish Guardian. ELOPEMENT.-01 Friday morning an attached couple (Mr. B—, of B—, and Miss L—, of C— L—), who were in search of wedded bliss, were overtaken by the young Lady's father at Kilroy's Hotel in Galway. The parties are highly respectable.—Connaught Journal. A deplorable event took place on the 21st ult. at Romans, in the Isere. Two soldiers of the 6th Regiment were disputing in a public-house about the quality of a dagger. One of them, in a state of complete intoxication, offered to lay a wager that the other could not pierce his coat with it. " Done," said the other, who was also drunk, and immediately plunged the weapon up to the hilt into the body of the former, who fell dead upon the spot. The murderer was imme diately taken into custody.—French Paper. Two gentlemen, one a Spaniard and the other a German, who were recommended by their birth and services to the Emperor Maximilian 11., both courted his daughter, the fair Helene Scharfequin, in marriage. This Prince, after a long delay, "fie day informed them, that esteeming them equally, and not being able to bestow a preference, he should leave it to the force and address of the claimants to decide the question. He did not mean, however, to risk the loss of one or the other, or perhaps of both. He could not therefore per mit them to encounter with offensive weapons, but had ordered a large bag to be produced. It was his decree that which. ever succeeded in putting his rival into this bag should obtain the hand of his daughter. This singular encounter between the two gentlemen took place in the face of the whole Court. The contest lasted for more than an hour. At length the Spaniard yielded, and the German, Ehberhard, Baron de Tal bert, having planted his rival in the bag, took it upon his back, and very gallantly laid it at the feet of his mistress, whom he espoused the next day. Such is the story, as gravely told by M. de St. Foix. It is impossible to say what the feelings of a successful combatant in a duel may be on his having passed a small sword through the body, or a bullet through the tho rax, of his antagonist ; but might he not feel quite as elated, and more consoled, on having put his adversary " into a bag ?" CoNDoßs.—Just before turning off' from the beach, we came to the recent carcass of a mule, upon which seven large black-winged ruffle-throated condors, and a crowd of buzzards were feasting. They allowed us to approach so near, that, had we been provided with arms, we might have shot them as they rose slowly on the wing. These mammoths of the air frequently destroy small animals. They sometimes form a circle round a sheep or goat, and, spreading out their wings, approach till they strike their prey. The first stroke of the beak is aimed at the eyes ; if the animal cry, they seize the tongue with their talons, and then, falling upon him, de vour the body, even to the bones. In the country they are caught in the following very singular manner :—A pen is is formed of high palisadoes driven into the ground, and a fresh carcass put into the centre.—lt is left alone. In a short time the condors who scent their food for miles, descend into it ; and while feasting, the peones, armed with clubs, and the body and limbs well protected with hide, enter the enclosure, and com mence the work of destruction. This bird cannot rise without running thirty or forty yards, which the limits of the pen will not allow, and they are clubbed to death, not, however, with. out making resistance, and occasionally inflicting very severe wounds upon their pursuers.— Three Years in the ,Pacjfic. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Francis Metcalfe, a respectable-looking man, was indicted for stealing, on the 27th of December last, a check for the payment of 1121. 10s., the property of his masters, Messrs Brooks and Thomas, linen-draper, in Oxford-street. Mr. CLARKSON stated the case for the prosecution. Mr. PHILLIPS appeared for the prisoner. Charles John Brooks stated that he, together with a gentle man named Thomas, carried on the business of linen-drapers. The prisoner, previous to October last, was in the employ of witness. The prisoner had formerly been a merchant in the city, and moved in the first circle of life. Misfortunes, however, had pressed upon him, and he became reduced in circumstances. In October last witness's house owed Messrs. Lainson, of Bread-street, the sum of 1181., which, deducting a.certain discount reduced.the amount to 1121. 10s., for which they drew a cheque, giving it to the prisoner to pay the ac count. Witness wrote across the cheque " Jones, Lloyd, and C 0.," who were the bankers of Messrs. Lainson. Discovered when the cheque was returned to witness by the bankers that the words Messrs. Lloyd and Co. had been struck out, and the words " Bank of England" substituted. On Witness ob serving to the prisoner that it was strange that the words Jones, Lloyd, and Co. had been struck out, he said perhaps Messrs. Lainson, and Co. had an account at the Bank of England ; witness said it was also strange that the cheque had not been presented at the bankers till January, when it had been given in October. The prisoner replied that Messrs. Lainson were rich people, and that probably they had kept it locked up in their Iron chest. On calling upon the prisoner on another occasion for the payment of some flannel, prisoner said he had acted with great gratitude, and he supposed that the witness was aware of what he had done in other transac tions. Witness said you had better tell me all you had done. The prisoner then stated the name of several:persons whom he had been desired to pay money to, and had not done so. Messrs. Lainson and Co., 1121. 10s. was among the number. This was the first time witness knew that the cheque had not been paid to Messrs. Lainson. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS.—The prisoner, who is cousin to the witness, when in business for himself was a Man chester merchant, and had lost a considerable sum by the failure of another house. The prisoner had never before em bezzled other sums and made them good again by the consent of the witness. When witness discovered what the prisoner had done, witness told him he had better go to America, as his partner, when he knew of it would certainly prosecute him. After the prisoner had told witness of the embezzlement he had effected, he took a 201. bill which the prisoner had offered him in part payment of the flannel. Afterwards witness wrote to the prisoner requesting him to send him an account of the manner in which he had disposed of the 13/. odd, for which the witness gave him a cheque. Witness also requested the prisoner to send the bill to him which he had mentioned. Re-examined by Mr. CLARKSON-Witness was rather against prosecuting the prisoner, but his partner insisted upon it. The transaction with the prisoner with respect to the flannels was only between the prisoner and witness, and had nothing to do with the cheque which he had embezzled for 1121. 10s. Charles Fairclough was an accountant residing in Cheap side. Had known the prisoner for fifteen or sixteen years. Called on witness in December last, and asked him if he would give him money for a cheque for 1121. 10s., drawn by Brooks and Thomas. Witness agreed to do so, and gave him the money. Witness did not read the cheque or observe the names upon it, but took it immediately, with other money, to Mr. Green, the official assignee. In an hour afterwads, Mr. Green's clerk returned with the cheque, stating that as Mr. Green did not bank at Jones, Lloyd, and Co., the cheque was no use to him. Witness then struck out the words " Jones, Lloyd, and C 0.," and put " Bank of England." Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS.-Witness struck out the words " Jones, Lloyd, and C 0.," and substituted " Bank of England," without the knowledge of the prisoner. Daniel Ross, the clerk of Mr. Green, the official assignee, paid the cheque into the Bank of England. William Tyson, a clerk in the bank of Sir Claude Scott and Co., paid the cheque produced to the Bank of England on the 23d of December last, and debited Messrs. Brooks and Thomas with the amount. Mr. Thomas, the partner of Mr. Brooks, asked the prisoner at Christmas last, for an account of the debts they owed in the City. Among the accounts furnished was Messrs. Lainson three guineas. Henry Houghton, the cashier of Lainson and Co., stated, that in October last, Messrs. Brooks and Co. were indebted to them in the sum of 1121. 10s. That account had not been paid to them. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. PHILLIPS submitted, that the fact of embezzlement had not been proved, and there was no larceny, because inasmuch as there was no proof of the intention of the prisoner to steal the cheque at the time it was given to him by Mr. Brooks. The JUDGES decided that a sufficient case had been proved to go to the Jury. The prisoner, in his defence, said, it never was his intention to appropriate the money to his own use, but he intended to replace it, as he had done with other amounts. Several witnesses gave the prisoner a most excellent character. Mr. Justice VAUGHAN summed up ; and The Jury acquitted the prisoner. The prisoner was again indicted with stealing a cheque for 451., the property of Messrs. Brooks and Thomas, his masters. The cheque was given by Mr. Brooks to the prisoner, for the purpose of paying it to Messrs. Caldecott, of Cheapside ; this was never done ; but the cheque was presented at Sir C. Scott and Co.'s, and paid by them in the usual manner. The jury found the prisoner guilty. NEW COURT. Susan Sabine was indicted for stealing a silver spoon, the property of Henry Revell Reynolds, Esq., on the 13th of January last. The spoon was produced and identified. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended the prisoner to mercy, on account of her apparent distress. George Burk was indicted for stealing a purse, containing 16s. 6d., from the person of Isabella Elliott. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. C. PHILLIPS, in behalf of the prisoner, said, that he understood he had borne a good character, and that the pro secutor was disposed to recommend him to mercy. Mr. Smith, Clerk of the Papers, said, that although the prisoner had not been in Newgate before, he had been in other prisons. The police constable was referred to, but he could say nothing in the prisoner's favour. The COMMON SERJEANT said, he had only marked the pri soner for six months' imprisonment, but he thought he must be transported. Mr. C. PHILLIPS hoped not, after the expectations raised in the prisoner's mind. The COMMON SERGEANT, upon re-consideration, adhered to his first intention. Henry Smith was indicted for stealing two books, the pro perty of Mr. Kimpton, a bookseller in Holborn. The prisoner was stopped near the prosecutor's shop, with the books under his arm, and taken into custody. The prisoner met a boy in the street, who offered him the books for sale. He replied that lie had no money, upon which the boy said he would give him the books for the 21b. loaf which he had in his hand. He struck the bargain, and shortly afterwards was taken into custody. A witness pro ve d th a t th e b o y had been in the workhouse, and was turned out on the day of the robbery, and told to shift for himself. The 21b. loaf was given to him. The Jury acquitted the prisoner. The COMMON SERGEANT told him to go again to the work house, and if they did not receive him they were liable to in dictment. Needy persons were not to be driven to the com mission of crime. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

This was an action brought by a house-painter against Mrs. Maria Lambert, to recover the balance of an account due for painting, papering, and making various repairs in two houses belonging to her in Kennington -street. The account was ori ginally 301. 4s. 5d., but a portion had been paid, and a sum of 5/. I6s. 3d. had been paid into Court. The defence was, that the work had not been properly executed, and it was also pleaded that an agreement had been entered into that the work should be finished at a certain time or the payment forfeited ; and that as the work was not completed within the time spe cified, the plaintiff was not entitled to recover. Mr. MANSELL appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. PLATT for the defendant. Several witnesses were examined on either side ; and, after consulting for a few minutes, the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—M. THE KING V. DAVIES. This was an indictment for an assault. The prosecutor, Mr. James Davis, was a surgeon, residing in Red Lion-square, and the defendants, Henry and David Davis, were the sons of a Sheriff's officer, residing in the same place. A report had been circulated relative to the son of a Mr. Davis of Red Lion-square having committed a forgery upon his father, and as both the parties had sons, and resided there, mu c h anx i ety was felt to ascertain which of the families the report concerned. The prosecutor having mentiened to a friend that such a report was in circulation, the two defendants waited upon him, and he denied that he was the author of it, and referred them to the person from whom he had heard it. In a fortnight afterwards they again called upon the prosecutor, and committed the as sault which was the , subject of the present action. The de fendant Henry had pleaded guilty, and the question was whe ther the other defendant David had been a party to it. Mr. THEOBALD appeared for the prosecutor, and Mr. Hum- PHREYS for the defendants. The prosecutor, Mr. James Davis, deposed that in the month of May, 1834, he was with a lady, a patient, in his consulting room, when he was called into his surgeiy, and found there the two defendants, Henry and David Davis. Henry caught him by the collar, and, pulling a whip from un der his coat, said he would inflict punishment upon him which he deserved, arid struck him with the whip over the head. David, the other defendant, struck him in the face, and his shirt and clothes were very much torn. Cross-examined by Mr. HumPutteys--The defendants had called upon the prosecutor on a former occasion, and had charged him with circulating a report that one of them had committed a forgery upon his father. Witness denied that he had ever circulated such a report. Witness had asked a patient of his, a Mr. Abraham, on a former occasion, if he had heard of such a report ? Witness had heard the report previously from a Mrs. Brickman, and mentioned this to the defendants. -Three other witnesses proved the assault. Mr. HUMPHREYS addressed the jury for the defendant. With respect to the defendant Henry Davis, he pleaded guilty. He admitted the assault, but as regar d e d David, the other defendant, he would prove to them he was not the person who committed it, but another brother named Isaac. He would call Isaac Davis, who would acknowledge to them that he was the per son who accompanied his brother Henry. The assault could not be justified he admitted, but the young gentlemen had felt indignant at the report that was circulated concerning them, and in a moment of irritation had horsewhipped the plaintiff. Mr. James Phineas Davis, an attorney, deposed that he saw his two brothers, Henry and Isaac Davis, go on the day in question to the house of the plaintiff and return again. Henry Davis, one of the defendants, deposed that it was his brother Isaac who accompanied him when he committed the assault. His brother Isaac appeared with witness before the Magistrate, but the prosecutor refused to swear against him. Phineas Davis, father of the defendants, deposed that his son David did not leave the dinner table from the time his other two sons went to the prosecutor's ,until they returned. When before the Magistrate, the prosecutor said Isaac was not the person who assaulted him. Isaac Davis deposed that he accompanied his elder brother Henry to the prosecutor's the day the assault was committed. His brother David was not present. The servant who attended the table deposed that Mr. David Davis did not leave the house from the time the other two went out till they returned. Abraham Davis, another brother, gave similar evidence. Mr. THEOBALD replied. Lord DENMAN said the only question for the Jury to decide was whether David was the person who accompanied the de fendant Henry. If they were satisfied of this they must find him guilty, and if not they would acquit him. The Jury after deliberating for about ten minutes returned a verdict of Guilty. COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY.) ATKENS V. MANNING. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a lady of large fortune, against the defendant, Captain Manning, who is her brother, to recover damages for certain libellous and slander.. ous expressions, alleged to have been used by the defendant with respect to the plaintiff. The damages were laid at a very high amount—we have heard 10,000/. stated. On the case being called on— _ The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said he would strongly recom mend the parties to endeavour to settle the matter amicably. It was very distressing to have affairs of a private nature, and the quarrels of parties so nearly connected with each yther, brought forward in this public manner, and he would therefore advise the parties to retire, and try if they could not agree to refer it to some person whom they might choose, or otherwise to settle the matter, without bringing it into Court. The Counsel and parties accordingly retired upon his Lord ship's suggestion, and after an absence of about twenty mi nutes they returned into Court, when— Mr. Sergeant WILDE, who appeared for the plaintiff, said he had prevailed on his client to accede to his Lord ship's suggestion, to refer the case to a private investiga tion, although she strongly objected to doing so, as she thought it might not be so satisfactory to some persons as an open trial. From the nature of the case, and the near relation between the parties, he endeavoured to show her that it would be much better if this investigation should take place before a private tribunal, and he at length, and with great difficulty, obtained her consent. Sir — JoHN CAMPBELL, who appeared for the defendant, said he would merely observe that his client was as anxious as the plaintiff that his conduct should be strictly and publicly inves tigated ; but under his (Sir J. Campbell's) advice, his client was prevailed upon to accede to the suggestion of the Court. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that the- Learned Counsel had exercised a very sound discretion, and a very sound and temperate judgment in the advice they had given. The mat ter would be investigated before a private tribunal in a more searching manner than by a public judicial inquiry. He was extremely glad that the suggestion he had thrown out had been acceded to by both parties. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of Rochester, and several other gentlemen were in Court, having been sub. pcenaed to give evidence in this case. EXCHEQUER COURT-(THIS DAY. UNDERWOOD V. BURROWS. The pleadings having been opened by Mr. MANSELL, Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS said the action was brought by a lodger against his landlord, for a series of annoyances which could scarcely be heard detailed without laughter, but by which the plaintiff had lost a considerable part of his trade. The plaintiff was a tailor, who, in 1832, took in the house of the defendant four rooms, for which he agreed to pay 281. a. year. After be had occupied them for some months, the plaintiff met with two gentlemen, to whom he underlet two of the rooms for 14s. a-week. The defendant seemed to be rather envious of his (the plaintiff's) good fortune, and, as he could not give him notice for a considerable time, he fell upon the plan of giving the plaintiff and his family all the annoyance in his power, so as, if possible, to drive him out of the house. The first plan the defendant hit upon was to remove a water-closet which stood on the first floor landing, by which the family were obliged to go through a yard filled with workmen. Finding that that plan did not succeed, the defendant, being a painter, mixed some nasty stuffs and daubed all the bannisters and staircase and the doors of plaintiff's rooms. The smell was very offensive, and the stuff, whatever it was, never dried, so that a customer going up to the plaintiff's workshop could scarcely proceed so far without -spoiling his clothes. As that also was put up with, the defendant thought of another plan. There was a skylight which lighted the garret stairs, which the plaintiff used to put up in order to have a free circulation of air ; that was first padlocked, and in a few days after the glass was removed and boards nailed over it, so that the stair case was left in total darkness, and that also when the stairs were in the filthy state which he bad before described. Again the wire of the bell was cut six or seven different times, so that the customers an d f r i en d s o f the plaintiff could not get admittance to him ; some of them used the knocker, but that was immediately taken off, and when any one called for the plaintiff, the family of the defendant de nied that the plaintiff lived there, and said he had run away to some place unknown to them, so that he had lost many of his customers. The case was extremely ludicrous, but he trusted that the Jury would give it their serious attention, and award such damages as they thought the plaintiff entitled to—all they would give him would not compensate him for the annoyances and loss of trade. The Learned Sergeant proved his case by several witnesses. Mr. PETERSDORFF then rose to address the Jury on the part of the defendant, and said he would call several witnesses, who would prove that the plaintiff had no right to the skylight or the water-closet, for they were not put up till months after he had been in the house. As to the taking down of the knocker, and the cutting of the bell wire, they were not brought home to the defendant, and might be the result of some boy's mischief. He called Robert Lockwood, who was under examination when our reporter left. GERMANY.—VIENNA, JAN. 2 6.—Prince Ester hazy leaves Vienna to-morrow, to return to London by way of Paris. Count Fiquelmont, our Ambassador at - St. Peters burgh, has obtained leave of absence on account of ill health ; and his place will be filled during his absence by Count Col., loredo-Wallsee, now Ambassador at Dresden. The SecAind Chamber of the Estates of the kingdom of Hanover resolved, on the 244 of January, to appoint a committee of five mem bers to communicate with the Government in order to obtain all necessary information respecting the resolution of the Ger man Diet for the establishment of a Tribunal of Arbitration f or the States of the Confederation.

Incomparably. the finest painting in the gallery. Landseer is the artist re d whom we are indebted for this gem. It is in his most sFi rite and careful manner. Nothing can be more life-like than t!le expression of subdued ferocity which he has thrown into the countenance of the sleeping animal. The col o uring, too , °, l the hair is as skilfully managed as we see it in Paul Potter' bulls. In point of perfect naturalness, we know of no mode l artist who can compete with Landseer. 96.
