points, in which case Sir F. Lamb would return to Vienna, which would be very agreeable here. AUGSBURG, FEB. 11.—His Majesty the Emperor of Austria has written the following letter to our Bishop on the founda tion of a Benedictine Convent in this city : " TO BISHOP V. RIEGG. " The affair which you recommended to my attention, in your letter of 31st Dec., 1834, excites in me the wannest in terest. I rejoice in the good which will be effected by the re storation of the order of the Benedictines in your diocese, and willingly offer the assistance which the Abbot of St. Stephen, in Augsburg, Barnabas Huber, has asked of me in the letter you have introduced with your recommendation. I declare to the superiors of the Benedictines in my German provinces, my consent that Priests of their community, distinguished for their learning and piety, may be employed to give temporary assistance in the convents of their order in Bavaria. I there fore authorise you, my dear Bishop, in conjunction with the Abbot of St.:gtephen, at Augsburg, to apply to the Superiors of my Convent, in order to agree with them on the amount of the assistance which they can give without injury to their own wants. It will give me great pleasure to receive you and Abbot Barnabas in person. I beg you to remember me in your prayers. " Vienna, Jan. 23, 1835. " FRANCIS." BERLIN, FEB. 14.—The Prussian State Gazette mentions the account given by the journals, of a quarrel at Bockenheim between the Prussian soldiers and the citizens, and promises, when the judicial investigation shall be concluded, to give the result, and an account of the whole transaction founded on the official documents. MEININGEN, FEB. 7.—The whole public debt of the Duchess of Meininssen Heldburghausen and Dealfeld, bearing interest, is still above ' 5,700,000 florins, and in proportion to the reve nues none has so heavy a burden of debt as ours. The re duction of the interest last year was therefore very seasonable. The manufactories in the district called the Thubinger Forest, have been in constant and active employment since our ac cession to the Commercial Union. The Duchess has unfor tunately been long labouring under indisposition. Latterly, however, hopes were entertained of her speedy recovery. The Duke has lately had a sudden attack of illness, but is now re covered. The young Prince, the only child of the Duke and Duchess, enjoys very good health. AGRAM, FEB. 7.—Our Gazette states that the Prussian General, Von Muraview. has arrived at Jassy. It was supposed that he was come to review the Prussian troops in 616 snilitary road from Silistria, by way of Fcesan Buries, and Jassy. — Frankfort Paper, Feb. 19. BRUSSELS, Feb. 21.—The highest subscriptions for shares in the new Commercial Company, are the following :—M. Dansaert, broker, on account of his employers, 16.800,000 francs ; M. Jules de Wellens and Cogets, eight millions ; M. M. Cleerens, for his employers, six-and-a-half millions ; M. Lefebrere Meuret, Senator, four millions ; M. Guersel, broker, for his employers, four millions ; and Messrs. de Neck and Graspean, do., three millions each. The Court of Assizes at Bruges has just condemned to death two individuals declared guilty of burglary and volun tary homicide. The sentence states that they shall be exe cuted in one of the squares of Bruges. The trial occupied the jury nine days. In the sitting of the Senate the day before yesterday, M. Vandershalter asked the Minister of Finance whether the time was not come to reduce the interest of the loan of 48.000,000 to 4 per cent. Having numbered several instances of reduc tions made by Austria, Denmark, &c., he said that this would be a saving cf a million per annum, which, with our constantly increasing wants, is a sum not to be despised. At the rate of 4 per cent. interest, it represents a capital of 25,000,000, which would probably be sufficient to indemnify the sufferer s by the war, and have a salutary influence on any future loan which we may be obliged to contract. The Minister of Finance replied that the Government would take the matter into serious consideration, but that it was a very delicate question, nearly affecting the public credit, and that he could not venture to declare his opinion on it at that' moment. The Dutch journals received to-day say that the head-quar ters of the army will shortly be removed from Tilbury to the Hague, when the two divisions of grenadiers will be on garrison. The King has ordered that the reviews of the Schuttery which have hitherto taken place once a month shall henceforth be only once in two months. The first review will not be till May. In the Chamber of Representatives M. Zoude brought stn the report on the petitions of the cotton manufacturers, of which he gave an analysis. All are unanimous in their com plaint : they differ only in representing them in colours more or less gloomy, a state of things which is becoming daily more precarious. It was resolved after a lengthened discussion to take the report into consideration on Monday. M. Zoude afterwards made a report on various other peti tions. To-day the Chamber was employed in discussing some amendments in the Communal Laws. BELGIAN FUNDS.-13aysso.s, FEB. 21.

Mr. George Bennett, F.L.S., of Plymouth, author of " Wanderings in New South Wales," &c., has recently been appointed Naturalist to that colony, and sailed for Sidney, in the Fl4rentia, about a fortnight since.—Devonport Te legraph. Lady Morgan's celebrated Irish National Tale " O'Donnell" (perhaps the most spirited of all her writings), is announced to appear, we observe, on the Ist of March, in " Colborn's Modern Novelist," beautifully embellished by Fin den, and bound (the three vols. being comprised in one), for bs. This, we believe, is an example of the cheap and good, which has had no parallel among the various monthly collec tions hitherto put forth. To illustrate the intense feeling that the electors of the western metropolitan districts entertain upon the political events of the last few days, we may mention that the Com mittee of Management for the dinner to be given this day at Chelsea to Mr. Hume, where a host of M. P.s will honour the assembly with their presence, have been compelled since Thursday last to altogether re-model their arrangements. Every ticket has been disposed of, and some hundreds of electors have been disappointed. Numerous robberies are committed in Berlin. The thieves get into the houses and carry off what happens to be in the way. It is affirmed that there are now 6,000 individuals prowling about the streets of Berlin who have already been confined in the House of Correction for various offences. We learn by a letter from Florence that, at about five rniuutgs before eight on the evening of the 7th, several suc cessive shocks of an earthquake were felt in that city. Its force seems to have concentrated on the north of Mugello, where some portions of the castles of Lucco and Vecchio were thrown down, but no person was injured. M. DUPUYTWEN.—Extensive as was the practice of M. Dupuytren, and thriftily managed, it is doubtful whether it alone could have enabled him to amass the great wealth he died possessed of. The popular rumour ran that he was fond .of play, arid that fortune always smiled upon him ; but we be lieve the more trustworthy account of the matter is that he had a friend in M. Rothschild, who was more to be depended on than the fickle goddess. The banker looked after his affairs, and turned his money for him with success. He is said to have left property to the amount of about seven millions of francs (210,0001.) to his daughter, Madame de Beaumont ; besides 200,000 fr. (8,0001.) to found a new professorship in the school.—Medical Gazette.

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 23, 1.35. IMPORTANT NEWS FROM CHINA DEATH OF LORD NAPIER. OPENING OF THE TRADE WITH THIS COUNTRY. correspondent in Canton, announces two very impor tant events—namely, the death of Lord NAPIER, and the opening of the trade with the Chinese. By the former, the care of the British interests has devolved upon an old resident, and late officer of the Company ; and it may, therefore, be supposed that tranquillity will continue, and that all will go on well. The in- activity of the trade during the month of October, is not a circumstance of unusual occurrence. If the ships load in November and December (which may be expected), they will arrive in England as formerly, March and April : " Canton, Oct. 20, 1834. The following extract of a letter, received this day by an eminent mercantile house in the City, from their. " The schooner Hellas being under dispatch for Dublin, we are unwilling to omit the opportunity of continuing our usual advices respecting the market. " Owing to many considerable dealers not having yet re turned to Canton, and one of the most active-of the Hong mer chants being still confined by the Government, on a frivolous pretext connected with the recent discussion, business has not yet resumed any degree of activity ; nor are we able to an nounce any transactions in new Teas, or Nankeen silk, beyond a few limited purchases of the latter, for the Bombay market, at about 330 dollars per 'suttee, and 340 dollars per Taysaam; 4 . 1 1;:t * ;4 7,;t•- \ NlWit ,f 7 jA 7 t4ce ':T))c JLIX. THE SUN, LON DON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1835. but as these rates are too high for the English market, it is probable they cannot be maintained. " Notwithstanding the order of the - Chinese Government for re-opening the trade, as announced in our respects of the Ist inst., the Chinese officers at Macao took upon them to re fuse granting pilots for a time to the numerous British ships waiting outside of the Bogue, the first of which was, con sequentl), prevented from reaching Wampoa till the 17th inst. " The East India Company's Finance Committee have an nounced their intention to grant advances on shipments of goods to London, to be repaid by bills, at 53. 7d. per dollar six months after sight ; but have as yet only a small amount realised for their bills in Bengal, although they have raised the Exchange from 204 to 206 per 100, at 30 days' sight. It is to be apprehended, this facility of obtaining cash will have a pre judicial effect in keeping up the prices of all exports to Great Britain. upon principle, will be so continued, and that no op portunity will be allowed to escape their adversaries for following up the success which attended their first efforts, by every new defeat which there may be a pros pect of accomplishing. There is not a measure they can introduce that will not be so mangled by alteration, and cut up by amendments, as to give it an entirely different Cha racter ; and as_ there is nothing bad they can propose which would not be successfully rejected, so there is nothing good which would not be made so much bet ter, as to render its parentage a matter rather of denial than of doubt. Have they made up their Minds to sit contented after defeat, and maintain their thwarted course still undismayed by the obstacles . that will' be continually thrown in their way—or do they imagine that it will be allowed them to carry such a resolution into eireet, that the KING and the Commons will he passive beholders of their perverse clinging to power ? It fairly baffles any reasonable person to conjecture what the Tory Government are really meditating. To suppose that this reckless adhesion to place would be permitted is of course ridiculous. Upon what, then, are they depending? If they are seeking to establish the sovereignty of the oligarchy, will the throne ac quiesce if the throne acquiesced, would the " Imports generally are at low nominal prices. " Freight to London is about 5/. per ton of 50 cubic feet. " We regret to announce the death of Lord Napier at Macao on the 11th instant, from a lingering illness brought on by the arduous performance of his dutica at Canton, aggra vated by the treatment received from the Chinese Government, when on his passage in a sick state to Macao. " Mr..l. F. Davis, formerly of the East India Company's factory, has succeeded as Chief Superintendent. We under stand it is not his intention to take any steps in negotiating with the Chinese Government, until he received fresh instruc tions from England." In addition to the above we insert the following ex tract from the Canton Register, which shows that we have had a brush with the Chinese, after the fashion of Sir MURRAY MAXWELL, and that that is the only sure way to make them listen to reason : ( From the Canton Register (Extraordinary) of Oct. 14.) Died, at Macao, at half-past ten o'clock on the tight of Sa turday, the 11th of October, the Right Hon. William John Lord Napier, his Britannic Majesty's Chief Superintendant in China; his Lordship experienced a lingering illness, brought on by the arduous performance of his duties at Canton, aggravated by the treatment he received from the Chinese. Action off the Bogue Forts at half-past twelve on the 7th of September : —His Majesty's ships, Imogene and Andromache, in command of Captain Blackwood, got under weigh to pro ceed through the Bogue. A stir was immediately perceived among the war junks in Anson's Bay, and the fort, commenced at first firing with blank cartridge, tout afterwards with round shot, which, from the distance, fell short of his Majesty's ships ; when they neared and got within range of the Bogue forts, the British fire silenced the forts. The action was most brisk in getting into the middle of the channel ; but the Chinese fired like men in a panic. The Lascars behaved extremely well on this occasion. Soon after attacking and silencing the batteries, the wind obliged his Majesty's ships to anchor below Tiger Island. The Andromache had 1 killed and 3 wounded. The Chinese loss must have been very considerable. The ships afterwards anchored below the second bar, for want of wind. We hear that the Commerce is again open, and all is going on well. About eleven o'clock on Sunday night, a very alarming fire broke out, a short distance above the Foreign Factories, and continued to burn with great violence for nearly five hours. The damage sustained must have been considerable. We insert the Governor's edict, directing the opening of the British trade. This is a remarkable document. The edict, which permits the export in British bottoms of the staple com modities of the Empire, is addressed to a body of Asiatic- British subjects, who are but partially concerned in that branch of the trade. It is, however, a reply to a petition from the Parsees. How far this tribe of men are justified in petitioning the Chinese government on behalf of the whole British trade we shall not now stop to enquire, but it would seem that the Hong mer chants cajoled the Parsees into presenting a petition, because they well knew that no European would do so. The Governor, in his edict, seems to abandon the long esta blished and constantly observed system of responsibility; if an individual sows dissensions he is to be driven out ; all are not to be involved. This is an approximation to common sense scarcely compa tible ; we think it nothing more than a sneer against the want of unity amongst the subjects of Great Britain during the late rupture. people ? The object of the Tories—that combination of Lords and Ladies, Magistrates and Parsons, as Mr. HUME designated his opponents—is clearly enough power and pension ; but the means—there is the difficulty. By what agency do they 'intend to at tain their object ? As reason cannot conjecture this, it may be supposed that reason has nothing to do with it. A strait-waistcoat is the best argument to convince a _madman, and the sooner the Tories are so :waist coated, 'the stronger will be the safeguard of the nation against their maniacal outbursts. We call the earnest attention of our readers to the admirable plan adopted by the Reformers of London, for organising their strength, so that it may tell with the most powerful effect against their enemies, when ever the circumstances of the country shall call it into action. How soon such a necessity may arrive nobody can tell. The Tories threaten a dissolution—let the country be prepared, and the best possible preparation is to follow the example of the CITY OF LONDON REFORM CLUB, and form similar clubs everywhere throughout the kingdom. The Paris Papers of Saturday have all been re ceived. The intelligence of the triumphant appoint ment of Mr. ABERCROMBY to the Speakership of the House of Commons was communicated by telegraph to the French Government early on Friday, and pro duced' a most singular sensation in the Ministerial circles. Strange enough, little THIERS imagines that the Reformers of England have taken it into their heads to displace him, and positively sweats that the " dear Duke" and himself will be forced into retirement at the same time. What the historian of one revolution meditates to while away the hotirs of his exile we know not, neither can we guess, unless it be to write an account of his own unrewarded services to the Sta e, with some additional illustrations of the proverbial in gratitude of nations to their chief benefactors. The ex- Foreign Secretary, and illustrious Duke, is provided with two or three other employmens of a very secret nature, whenever his present fails him, which he ex pects it will in the course of a week at the utmost; but we are not at liberty to state what these reserved em ployments really. are. Should the illustrious Duke require the assistance of an amanuensis, we shall have great pleasure in recommending the ex-Minister of the French Interior to his Grace's especial favor. Seriously speaking, we can discover no grounds for the fears entertained by the French Ministry. Unless they are prepared to sacrifice the liberties of France, they must derive strength and stability from the triumph of Re form principles in England. A Tory Ministry would throw this country into the arms of the northern despots : a Liberal Cabinet will be ever willing to culti vate reciprocal feelings of amity between the Govern ments of London and Paris. There is no important news in these journals. All that we deemed worth extracting is given in our ex tracts from the French papers. FRENCH FUNDS.—PAnts, FEB 21 Five per Cents., 1081. 70c. 55c. 5Cc.

Madrid Papers to the 12th instant have been re ceived, together with private intelligence to the 12th inclusive. From these various sources of information, we learn that Austria, Russia, and Prussia have at last resolved upon the pacification of Spain ; and that the Representatives of these Powers have already re ceived instructions to communicate with the Duke of WELLINGTON on the subject, as nothing can be done without the concurrence'of this country. It is stated that the Northern Powers, who, at the commencement of the civil war in the Basque Provinces, were sanguine in their expectations of the immediate triumph of DON CA RLOS; now despair of his success, and that seeing he cannot dethrone the QUEEN, and that there is no way by which they can render him any direct assistance, without hazarding a war with France or England— they, as the only means of extricating him from certain ruin, are now favourable to a compromise, on such terms as shall secure the Crown to its present rightful possessor, and at the same time satisfy the ambition of the infatuated Prince. Most sincerely do we hope that some arrangement will be speedily entered into, whieh shall put a stop to the effusion of innocent blood in Spain—which shall terminate an unnatural warfare, in which brother butchers brother, and the hand of the child deprives the patent of life—which shall e xtinguish rebellion, and banish all its attendant horrors from a distracted famished land. It is high time that some effort were made to heal the suicidal wounds of Spain—to repress brutal and ferocious crime in its headlong progress through the entire king dom—and to restore order, before the entire population have grown familiar with carnage, and learned wholly to depend for subsistence on the fruits of lawless ag gression, and marauding dexterity, No evil, under Heaven, so soon succeeds in driving a country into a state of barbarism, and plunging her into an abyss of un iversal crime and corruption, as civil war. It strikes COMMERCIAL REMARKS. Most of our late arrivals are still outside the port. No pri ces yet fixed for the new Teas generally. As soon as the frigates have repassed the Bogue, the passage from Whampoa to Canton, closed to all foreign boats for these last 16 days, will be re-opened, and the re-opening of the trade will, we believe, be deferred only till certain forms of office have been gone through, consequent to the new Hoppo taking charge of his department. In so far as Lord Napier had quittedCanton without being officially recognized by the Chinese Government, the result of his proceedings must, we presume, be deemed a failure. In all that has passed, the Chinese had decidedly the worst of it, in the severe battering given to their forts, and the carnage of their men, for neither of which have they even ventured to hint a demand for satisfaction. One victory, and that a most important one, has been gained ; but to give it due effect it must be fol lowed up by another. The election of the SPEAKER has defeated the desperate attack made upon the rights of the people by the Tory government, under the mask of supporting the KING'S prerogative; the amendment on the Address, will put them completely to the rout. It is almost superfluous to impress upon Hon. Members the necessity of being in their places to-morrow at 4 o'clock, prepared, by having pre viously taken the oaths, to do their duty to thZ!ir constituents. If some gentlemen, in obedience to what they conceived to be the dictates of of honour, were obliged to vote against the wishes of those whom they represent, the same excuse cannot avail them on the still more important question which they will have to decide to-Morrow. They will then have an opportunity—NEVEß TO BE REPEATED , —of regaining that confidence which has been shaken, and of vindicating themselves from the re proach of having broken the - pledges, direct or indi rect, which they gave on the hustings. The amendment will, we have reason to believe, be so worded as to deprive the waverers of every decent pretext for refusing their support to it ; and it is cal culated that the majority for it will be at leastfiffty:five. We have heard that measur:?s are in progress in many parts of the country for holding meetings of the constituents to address their representatives on the course pursued by them on the election of the SPEAKER — to thank those who voted for Mr. ABERCROMBY— and to call for the resignation of those who violated or evaded their duty. We recommend the suspension of all such proceed ings until the amendment on the Address is dis posed of. Montreal Papers to the 25th of January, an: Quebec to the 22d of January, have been received a the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Montreal Papers.) His Excellency the Lieut.-Governor, Sir John Colborne, opened the House of Assembly of Upper Canada with a Speech, stating they have the satisfaction of being convened to promote, by their councils, the welfare of the people at a period when the increased activity with which every descrip tion of improvement proceeds throughout the province, assures them the general interests of the colony are greatly prospering. At the same time he entertains no doubt that they will think it right to provide for the repayment of the sums which have been distributed by the Board of Health. Although by unparalleled exertions the Ministers secured the minority they exhibited on Thursday last, it is well understood that those who had been in veigled into promises of support on that occasion con sider themselves absolved from all further assistance to them as a party. What, then, can they propose to themselves, even assuming that they were tolerated in office for half a dozen months ? To build their hopes upon the probable absence, ocm,ionally, of their op. ponents, would be too great an absurdity for even Tories to entertain. They have already beheld enough to convince them that the opposition began at the roots of all civilization, by destroying all order— all subordination—all regard for ever , just and up, right principle. It effaces from tic mind every virtuous impression—destroys all the sacred tics of blood and kindred—puts a stop to al kinds of in dustry, for where none have a certainty of reaping; no one will plough the field—and by supflyinz the fuel for every bad passion, viz., idleness ind necessity, arising from famine, it prepares man for the foulest atrocities, without fear, shame, or remolie. These considerations are of themselves sufficient to make every person of good feelings, and well-ordered minds, desire the adoption of some plan for extin- guishing the civil war in the Spanish provinces. The accounts received from the several districts, which have been exposed to the alternate ravages of the hostile troops, are truly heart-rending. The poor suffer the most dreadful miseries—not singly, but in forms so complicated and afflicting, that it is scarcely conceivable how they are able to endure them, notwithstanding their previous poverty, and the labori ousness of their habits. Their fields have either lain waste; or their crops have been trodden down and des troyed. Their . little property has been tither seized upon by the rebels as plunder, or confiscated to the use of the Constitutional army, under the name of levies to support the troops ; and at present they are without food, clothing, fire, or any lawful means of procuring .the sustenance necessary to support human life. Add to this, sickness of body arising from scanti ness of food, and agony of mind, the consequence of grie vousprivate wrongs, of which their children and the part- ners of their bosoms have been the victims, to sate the passions of a lawless and abandoned soldiery. Already has this dreadful state of things produced the natural consequences—the brutal debasement of mind, feelings and habits, which marks the progress of civil war in all countries. The Spanish character, stern and gloomy at all times, begins to be tinctured with a ferocity and a recklessness which will, for many years to come, be productive of a wide harvest of crime and misery. But much may yet be done to stay this moral leprosy ; and we trust no time will be lost, by every lover of his species, who possesses any influence in quelling these disorders, in forcing upon the Spanish Government and the Chief of the insurrection, the absolute necessity of tranquillizing the country. General LLAUDER has addressed a long letter, in the form of an address, to the Chamber of Proceres at Madrid, complaining of an attack upon his cha racter, in the Chamber, by one of his late colleagues, the Marquis DE MONCAYO, and praying that the Chamber would appoint a Committee to investigate their truth, and do justice to his character. The ad dress was received by the Chamber, and a Committee appOinted. It is expected that a very animated debate will arise on its report, which has not yet been made. It is unnecessary to add, that the principal charges pre ferred against LLAUDER relate to the recent insurrec tion in the capital. The Carnival has commenced in Madrid ; and the rejoicings are - as loud as if neither disease nor danger had ever visited the country. The QUEEN REGENT is a constant visitor at all places of public amusement ; and attends the balls and entertainments given by the nobility and gentry, in company with the other mem bers of the Royal family. The Observador, a Madrid Journal, contains a long account of a grand ball and supper given by the BRITISH MINISTER, which was attended by four hundred Spaniards of rank and dis tinction, and which is described as one of the most splendid fetes ever given in the capital of Spain. Our modesty will not allow us to introduce the elo quent eulog,ium which this entertainment has called forth from a Spanish Editor, on the riches, gene rosity, prowess, &c., of Great Britain. Such high-flown compliments, if made public here, would, out of mere civility, and to show they were not undeserved, oblige us to invite all Spain to a similar entertainment— a civi lity more in accordance with our flattered feelings than the state of our finances. The Spanish Government has acted with great hu manity towards the twenty-seven y oung Carlist officers taken on board the English vessel, the particulars of which have already appeared. They have been sen tenced to temporary banishment, instead of death. Their friends have been permitted to see them when ever they desired it, and should a peace ensue, their sentence will be instantly annulled. This conduct has been highly approved of, and, it is hoped, will be pro ductive of the happiest 'consequences. By the New York Papers to the 2d inst., whie have been received, we learn that the PRESIDENT'S life had been attempted, in broad daylight, at Wash ington, by a man named RICHARD LAWRENCE. The New York Gazette states that there was little or no doubt of the man's insanity. We subjoin sonic particu Lars of the affair from the National Intelligencer " As the President of the United States, who was present at the solemn ceremony of the funeral, came into the portico of the Capitol from the Rotunda, a person stepped forward from the crowd into the space in front of the President, and snapped a pistol at him, the percussion -cap of which exploded without igniting the charge. This person was struck down by a blow from Lieutenant Gedney, of` the Navy, who hap pened to be near; he also received a blow promptly aimed at him by Mr. Secretary Woodbury ; but before receiving either blow, he snapped a second pistol at the President. The cap of that lock also exploded without igniting the charge. The perpetrator of this daring outrage was of course immediately seized and taken into custody by the Mar shal of the district, by whom he was carried to the City Hall, where he underwent an examination before Chief Justice Cranch. His name it appears is Richard Lawrence, by trade a painter, a resident for two or three years in the first ward of this city, and formerly of Georgetown. The gentlemen whose testimony was taken before the Judge were Mr. Se cretary Woodbury, Mr. Secretary Dickerson, Mr. Bird, Re presentative from Pennsylvania ; Mr. Randolph, Sergeant at Arms of the House ; Mr. Kingman, one of the reporters for the National Intelligencer ; and Lieutenant Gedney. The pistols, which had been secured b! Mr. Bird, were of brass, and on examination in Court were found to be well loaded with powder and ball, which our readers would suppose, until the fact is stated, could hardly have been possible. How ex traordinary (and, 0, how fortunate 1) the failure of the evident design of this miserable maniac (for so he must be considered, under all the circumstances) against the life of the President ! We say he is a maniac, because the act shows him to be insane, and not because any evidence of his insanity was produced on his examination; though we have heard that he has been hereto fore confined for acts of violence, indicating an unsound mind. " On his examination the unhappy man declined making any explanation or cross-examining the witnesses. We have heard no rational motive even conjectured for his crime. " The offence being a bailable one, and excessive bail being forbidden, bail was demanded to the amount of a thousand dollars, for want of which the prisoner was committed for trial, the Judge intimating, that if he had been able to give bail sufficient securities would have been required in addition, to ensure his good behaviour. He will be tried, of course, At the next term of the Court." Until the year 160(1 frogs were unknown in Ireland. At that period frog spawn was taken from England by one of the Fellows of Trinity College, Dublin, and distributed in the ditches of the University pleasure grounds, from which time these jumpers spread themselves from field to field th- - _. the whole island.

Wynne,) assisted by the Vice- Chancellor, Mr. Baron Gurney, Mr. Wm. Russell, (the At torney-General of the Duchy,) and the North Auditor, sat in this Court, for the purpose of hearing the arguments in the cause of Fenton v. Webb, which was an appeal from the deci sion of T. L. Holt, Esq., the Vice-Chancellor of the Dutchy- Mr. KNIGHT, with whom was Mr. GELDART, and Mr. BOOTH, stated that the present case came before their Lord ships upon the appeal of a gentleman of the name of Edward Fenton, from the decision of the Vice- Chancellor of the Duchy- The only question in the case was the true construction of the will of a gentleman named Benjamin Dugard Webb. The appellant was the widower and administrator of one of the daughters of the testator, and it was to his interest to increase as much as possible the share she would take of her father's prope:ty, with a view to take it as administrator. Mr. Fenton consitlered the Court below had given too little to the de ceased daughter, and he, therefore, sought to set its decision aside. The COURT, after hearing the arguments of Counsel on both sides, at some length, ordered the judgment of the Court below to be reversed. Nothing of any public importance occurred either in the Lord Chancellor's or Rolls' Courts. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) SMITH V. FELLOWES. This was an action brought to recover the amount of a bill of exchange for 401. 2s. 6d. The evidence for the plaintiff showed that he (the plaintiff) in his business of a horse-dealer, sold one to a Mr. Ignatius Francis, for 401., and in. payment received a bill of exchange at two months date. That bill was dishonoured, and replaced with the one in question, which purported to be drawn by Martin and Co, hop-factors, Kentish buildings, borough, upon Mr. J. Francis, of Denmark-hill, Camberwell. It was accepted by that gentleman, but made paya ble at the house of the drawers. When it became due, the place was shut up, and the firm broken up. Witnesses now proved that they never saw any other persons in the place then Mr. Francis and Mr. Fellowes, both of whom passed as INiv. Martin upon occasions; and that Mr. Francis had at or.c time gone to a goldsmith's, and ordered a gold chain in the name of Martin. Other witnesses proved the bill to be in the hand writing of the defendant Fellowes. The defendant called Mr. Francis, who swore that he knew Mr. F. and Mr-. W. Martiir, and that the bill was in the hand writing of the latter. The defendant was a clerk in their em ploy. Mr. TIIESSIGER rose to reply upon the part of the plaintiff, but was stopped by The Jury, who said they had made up their minds to find a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, amount of bill and interest , 431. 2s. 6d. INSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY•) Henry Cocherill Leathani applied, upon his petition, to b`.l discharged. His application was supported by Mr. Woodro, r ife. The insolvent had been an extensive farmer at Scarborough is Yorkshire; he was arrested at that place in July P a st for I debt of 301. 10s., to which he gave bail, and surrendered to the Fleet-prison in December ; his debts were considerable, an d all his creditors were resident in Yorkshire. Mr. COOKE, on the part of a gentleman - flamed Bartliss, a creditor for 7111., applied to remove th' insolvent to Scar; borough to be heard on the ensuing c: Arcu i t at t h e expe nse ot the applicant. The Court would by the schedule that th is was a fit case to be heard where +,: he cre di tors resided. • of The insolvent said he reside'li in London by the advice his bail.

This insolvent w - as heard a short time back, and ordered to be removed to B where he had carried on business, but th e creditors had failed to obey the order, and he now came up to be heard. Mr. Co'oxE, who had appeared for the creditors, said b e supposed the expense was found to be considerable, and th e insolveint had not, in consequence, been removed. t Mr. W OODROFFE , f or t h e i nso l vent, was of a different opinion. . The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said, that an oppos e .tion had be en en t ere d, an d as t h e cre di tors did not attend, Pw should, without further investigation, order the insolvent to b e discharged. He was accordingly discharged. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)
