EVENING SUN TIIE EXCHEQUER BILL AFFAIR. MANS ION -HOUSE.—(THIS DAY.) eh The re• exam i nation of Ernest Rapallo, the individual t c a e r h ged with b e i ng concerned in uttering the forged equer bills, was resumed this morning in the Lord Rene private room. As on the former occasion, there rt _ . a la.rge number of merchants and gentlemen con .,r`e...ted with the Stock Exchange present, and when the ;I"o"....eedings commenced the room was crowded, but by 1 / ,,77is to such an extent as on the previous occasion. aule of the Treasury, Mr. Waddington, Mr. Bod ell kr. Lefroy, and the other gentlemen connected with eyraosectition and defence, were early in attendance. V i l t few minutes past eleven o'clock Mr. Alderman tIoN took the Chair ; the LORD MAYOR sat on his Alt , and close to his Lordship were Alderman Gums, At TUOMAS WOOD, Sir PETER LAURIE, &C. &C. i T ,'` e 't a quarter past eleven the prisoner was brought in, bebsiltstodv of Forrester, the officer, and took his place le s t 'd tine Counsel, and. close to the chair of the presid e Magistrate WADDIN .

LAW INTELLIGENCE. CHANCERY COURT_(THIS DAY). The LORD CHANCELLOR sat at Westminster to-day, shortly after ten o'clock. VAUGHAN V. BU CK.This case came before his Lordship yesterday. upon appeal from the decision of his Honour the Vice-Chan cellor of England. The question in the case was, whe ther the testator in the cause, Mr. Vaughan, intended to leave his property absolutely to his wife, or only to give her a life interest. In the commencement the testator made use of the following expression•—" I give the whole of my property to my dear wife during her natu ral life ;" and then, after giving several specific articles, such as his watch, books, and other things to his chil dren, at the close of the will he gave a leasehold house and stock of various kinds, with the residue, to his wife. Upon the case coming on before the Vice- Chancellor of England, his Honour considered that the wife took the estate only, and decreed accordingly, and from that decision the parties appealed. The arguments, which were part-heard yesterday, were resumed to-day, but had not concluded when our Evening Edition went to press. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. PRETTYMAN. The MASTER of the ROLLS gave judgment in this case, which was reported at length in this morning's Sun, and will be found in another column. His Lord ship said that he had looked at the answer, and unfor tunately had not found that disposition that ought to have been shown towards the Commissioners of Inquiry. Nevertheless, under all the circumstances of the case, he thought it might be ar:•anged without wrong to the Charity by ordering the defendant to pay the full value for twenty-one years, from the time of the Comissioners' Report till the expiration of the lease, and the costs of the other parties. The case might be mentioned again on Tuesday next, to arrange the terms of the order. VICE-CHANCERY-(THIS DAY). (Before the VICE-CDANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) SALISBURY V. NORBICE.---MORRICE V. SALISBURY. In this case, which was partly ope n e d yesterday, be fore his Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England, the arguments were resumed to-day after the Court had dis posed of a few unimportant cases. This bill was filed by Mrs. Salisbury, the only daughter of a gentleman deceased, named Webb, who had formerly carried on the business of an agent and land-surveyor at Salisbury, in partnership with his nephew, and a gentle man, named Ackwood. The object of the bill was to obtain an account, against the representatives of the nephew, of the personal estate,and also an account of the rents of the real estate of Mr. Francis Webb, the father of the plaintiff, which it was alleged the nephew had re ceived, in the character of agent and confidential adviser of Mrs. Salisbury, the devisee for life, and also the legatee of all the testator's extensive property. The bill also sought to charge the estate of the nephew with those sums which had been lost through his default to the estate. The arguments appear likely to occupy the Court for several days. (Before Vice-Chancellor WicnAm.) BANIE V. BAINES. Our report of yesterday was inaccurate in stating that the arguments in this cause had been concluded. The hearing was resumed this morning, and occupied nearly the whole day. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) WALTER V. POTTER. This was an action brought to recover damages for the infringement of a patent. The disputed invention was an improved apparatus for the carding of silk, by the introduction of India rubber in the formation of the cards in which the teeth are set. The cause was tried in the sittings after last Easter, and the Jury found for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Channell subsequently ob tained a rule nisi to enter a verdict for the plaintiff; or to grant a new trial. Sir THOMAS WILDE this day showed cause against the rule, and had not concluded when we went to press. The argument is expected to occupy at least another day ; but as.it turns entirely upon legal technicalities and minute mechanical details, it cannot present much to interest the public. • ----- EAST INDIA HOUSE—(THIS DAY). A Special General Court of the Proprietors of India Stock was held this clay for the purpose of considering addresses to her Majesty and Prince, Albert, on the late auspicious event, the birth of the Mike of Cornwall. GEORGE LYALL, ESQ., M.P. (who was accompanied by most of the Di rectors) took the Chair at twelve o'clock, when the minutes of the last meeting were read over and confirmed. The CHAIRMAN then said the Court had met on one of the most interesting occasions on which they had ever assembled.—(Hear, hear.) They had met to consider addresses of congratulation upon the birth of an Heir Apparent to the throne of these realms. He had great pleasure, as the official of the Court of Directors, in pro posing that the Court should carry to the Queen the heartfelt congratulations of the Proprietors of that Court on an occasion most interesting to the feelings—on the occurrence of an event conducive to the happiness of all her loyal subjects. It was an event the more to be rejoiced at, inasmuch as the birth of a Prince would tend to secure that glorious Constitution over which the illustrious family from which her Majesty descended had presided so long, so happily, and so beneficially for the country.—(Cheers.) Apart from national consider ations it was impossible that their hearts should not sympathise with our virtuous and accomplished Queen, on an event which crowned all human enjoyment. He would not longer detain the Court, but would at once pro pose that the address, which the clerk would read, should bo adopted, signed, sealed with the seal of the Court, and presented to her Majesty by the Chairman and Deputy Chairman. The Address was in the usual. form. Colonel LUSHINGTON (the Deputy Chairman)—ln rising to second the motion, it was unnecessary for him to add much to what had already been said by the Chair man. They must all hail such an event as one calculated to increase her Majesty's comfort and happiness, as well AS benefit the country at large. Mr. WEEDING of course did not rise to offer any op position to the motion—it was one in which all would cordially join ; but as the times were fraught with pecu liarity, he trusted the Court would allow him to indulge in a -few observations. He wished to be allowed to give expression to those feelings of joy which animated his mind. A direct succession to the Throne must at all times be an object of much interest and desire ; but, under present circumstances, the prospect of it must add greatly to the joy of the country. The Prince was the offspring of a youthful and beloved sovereign, destined, he trusted, to live for many years to be a blessing to the son which she had borne, and to the country over which she had been called to rule. Her reign would afford time and opportunity to prepare the mind of the young Prince for the dignity to which he would rise—there would be instilled into his mind. every precept of domestic virtue—sound principles of faith and charity. He would afterwards be strengthened in mind, and made acquainted with the sound principles of our glorious Constitution by an acquaintance with the noblemen and gentlemen of England, and by those means he would learn the value of self . ..government before he was called upon to govern others. Ile would then bring to the Government of the country (might it be long before he was called to it) a thorough knowledge of the Constitution of the country and of the wants of those over whom he was called to govern. He could not help giving utterance to those feelings of joy, and now he would allow the Court to do what he knew they were anxious to do—to carry the resolution wits accla- mation. Mr. TWINING Having on many occasions ex pressed his feelings when addresses to the Throne were proposed in that Court, he trusted he would be allowed to express, on that auspicious occasion, his cordial concurrence in those sentiments which appeared to actuate the minds of all present. Upon no occasion in which there had been any reference to the Throne of these Realms had there been any difference of opinion in that Court. They had always shown the utmost respect and attachment to the Throne and to the Illustrious Family which had now so many years presided over the destinies of this great country, and so he had no doubt they always would; but upon no other occasion had they been so called upon to give expression to feelings of joy and of gratitude, as for the happy event which had been the cause of their assembling that day. He begged to be allowed to express the very great satis faction he experienced in joining with all sincerity in the congratulations which were to be conveyed to her gracious Majesty. It was an event which bade fair to add strength to the nation, and increase the happiness of the people. The motion was then put and carried unanimously, and with acclamation. The, CHAIRMAN then proposed a similar address to be presented to his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The DEPUTY CHAIRMAN seconded the motion. The Prince, by his simple manners, his urbanity, his atten tion to and love for our institutions, had won for him the good opinions of all. This motion was likewise agreed to with acclamation, and the Court adjourned. RHYMNEY IRON COMPANY. (THIS DAY.) The Annual Meeting of the Shareholders in this Com pany was held this day at one o'clock, at their office, 7, Lawrenve Pountney-hill, for the purpose of receiving the statement of the accounts of the Company, &c. We are precluded from giving any account of the pro ceedings, as the parties in the establishment refused to admit our Reporter to th e meeting. I NF LUX OF GOLD AND SILVER.—It is un derstood that for some time past the imports .of sove reigns have been on rather a large n scale, and so much so as to have created something like a glut i the Market. The fact would seem curiously at variance with the late returns of the Bank, from which a decrease in the stock of bullion is apparent. The discrepancy is, however, ac counted for by the statement that the sovereigns so im ported on finding their way back are found to be mostly of light weight, and as such rejected at the Bank of Eng land and by the banking-houses in general. This will be a partial bar to their getting into circulation in large quantities, although in a small way and gradually the holders or foreign remitters may be enabled to pass them off at a profit, assuming that they were purchased or taken at their value by weight, as was probably the case. The imports of dollars have latterly been heavy both from the United States and Spanish America, more particularly from the coasts of the Pacific, so that the demand was met without is a cjm e inconvenience.— Herald. hrey likea a w chicken ?"

I yesterday sent you a short account, and am, afraid you would think it an intrusive act on my part, but can assure you the deed has caused such a consternation in this neighbourhood that you will be better able to imagine than for me to describe it. I have this evening had the surgeon who was called in (Mr. White) at my house, and from him I have learned the following particulars, which you may rely upon as being as near the facts as any that can be ascertained at present. It is ex pected the Coroner will sit either to-day or to morrow. At or about half-past eight o'clock on Sunday evening, after the officers had had their dinner, and were sitting around the mess-room fire, Lieut. O'Grady rose from his seat, and retired from the room. In a short time after he•had gone out a person was heard to scream much. On some of the party rising, and proceeding towards the door, to see what the cause of the noise was, they were met in the door-way by Lieut. O'Grady running in, and saying that Morris had murdered him ; he walked towards the fire-place; there he fell down on the carpet, and it was • soon perceived that he was wounded. As soon as the parties then in the room (whom I believe were only two or three) recovered a little from the shock, one of them went to the door leading into the passage. The first thing he observed was Morris standing in the lobby, brandishing a large knife in his hand. Not liking to face him unarmed, he returned to the fire-place for the poker, and then again went to the passage, during which period it is sup posed that Mortis had followed the woman, and had stabbed her in four different places; the most fatal ne a little below the left shoulder blade. .I.on the approach of the individual to the !isTlace, he there found the woman lying, but not dead ; also the mur derer, who, I believe, but am not at the pre sent time positive,: never: spoke afterwards; if he did it itits. 41.fil y for a short time, for he had effected 445: deadly purpose, most un doubtedly on hirnsOttaS he liVed but a short time. He had run the knife Aritohis own body just below the breast-bone ; again in two places a little lower, with anotherlayge.cut on the right side of the body, and their turned the . knife downwards. Whether any' attereation had taken place be tween Mr. O'Grady arid:Morris ' I am not aware; but should suppose that will be ascertained before the Coroner, as Mr. O'Grady lived till nearly ten o'clock ,the following morning, and, was sensible up to the. time of his death. The parents of the unfortunate woman live, believe, in the officers' apartments or mess-house, and the individual Who caused the death of these persons was the messman's waiter, and has been jealous of -the , female for some time back, though I am 0,74: . 4o understand she was a married woman; lnit did not live with her husband. Colne, November 16, 1841. [Burnley Barracks are situate about six miles north of Colne, in Lancashire, and nearly half way between Leeds and Preston. Burnley is a small manufacturing town containing between 9,000 and 10,000 inhabitants. We take this op portunity of returning our thanks to our Corre spondent at Colne, for his attention and readi ness in forwarding the particulars of these horri ble deeds, which enabled us to give an account of them in The Sun of last evening--the only paper in which they appeared.] ANOTHER ACCOUNT. The manufacturing town of Burnley, in Lan cashire, has been thrown into a state of great ex citement by the commission of a double murder, followed by the self-destruction of the assassin, Robert Morris, a private in the Regiment Of the 60th Rifles, quartered in that place. Morris, who was a Scotchman, also officiated. as mess-waiter, and was servant to Lieutenant O'Grady. He had formed an intimacy with a 01 named. Isabella Hadden, daughtei of : John - . Hadden, the mess master of the barracks, and' if 'waS jealousy of this young woman that led to the fatal - results we have to state. On Sunday evening Morris ob- Served Isabella Madden going-with, Lieutenant O'Grady in the direction of the l atter's bedroom. Providing himself with a earvim knife from the kitchen, he proceeded to the bedchamber, at the door of which he met his master and the girl. He stabbed them both with his destructive weapon, inflicting two wounds in. the neck and one in the abdomen of the girl, and some dan gerous abdominal wounds upon his officer. The wretched man then turned his weapon against himself, stabbing himself repeatedly in the ab dome!), and in other parts of the body. Imme diately afterwards he was discovered in the pas sage, unable to speak, and he o nly lived three minutes after he had been removed to his pantry. Lieut. O'Grady, upon being wounded, rushed. into the mess-room and exclaimed that Morris had murdered him. He was co nveyed to bed, and medical attendance procured, but it was all in vain, the unfortunate officer living only until noon on Monday. Isabella Had& n was removed to the lodgings of her parents, and died in great agony at one o'clock on Monday morning. The bodies lie at the barracks awaiting the inquest, which will be held over them by IVIr. Hargreaves, one of the Coroners for the northern division of Lancaster. CAUTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Permit me to make known ' through the medium of your widely-circulated Journal, the following occurrence, with a suggestion to the parties suffering :—On Friday last a man, assum ing the characteristics of a commercial man, entered the travellers' room of the Cross Hotel, Bromsgrove, and intimated that he should want dinner at four o'clock, and that he would, in the interim, go out and do his "Trade." He re turned, the cloth was laid, but, said he, I must defer my dinner a quarter of an hour. lalf an hour elapsed, and when the servant went into the room she found that the " ci-divane' traveller had left, and that two table-spoons, of costly make, were non-est. These, doubtlessly, soon became amalgamated with others, the produce of his " Trade,' in a crucible. My suggestion is, that all tavern-keepers should intimate to their visitors the necessity of giving their card on arrival. To a right-minded man it would not be objectionable, whilst it might deter the evil-disposed from attempting wrong; for it is quite clear that neither life or property are safe under the present system. At the Bull Hotel, Cambridge, well known for its superior arrangements, a neat brass-plate is conspicuously placed in the entrance hall, whereon is engraved--" It is respectfully re quested that all visitors will be pleased to leave their card at the bar on arrival." And at the Crown Hotel, Leamington Spa, a card is fixed on the mantel-piece of the commercial room, in timating—"lt is requested that none but com mercial gentlemen will occupy this room." Thus the tavern-keeper may render himself, and those around him secure, whilst his cus tomary commercial charges, and the comforts of his commercial friends, are not encroached upon by those not entitled to them. I am, Sir, your's, most obediently, Nov. 13. AN OLD TRAVELLER. THE LATE MR. P. BI tJEROWES. One by one the great men' 0 f the Irish Par liament, who struggled so unto ilingly at the be ginning of the present century to preserve Ireland as an independent kiugt km, are sinking into the grave. The above lam, rated gentleman, Judge Commissioner of Insolv ?.nts in Ireland, at the advanced age of fourscore years and ten, has followed his friends and fore runners, Grattan and Curran, while the remembr inces that attach to him are inseparably conne ctoii with these, two of his most constant associa tes.

A Samtt or le4y having bee n th us e Butler no w t oo k lenge to Mr. Peter Burrowes, the first of the adversaries' counsel. The invitation could not be reitised ; the Combat toolfs. piece one cold frosty aiorning, near Kilkenny. Peter had had no practice whatever'in this line; of litigation; So merset Butler knew his business Peter 'Burrewe'g, on his way to the plate of meeting, bought a pennywor, the, spiced_ ginger bread nap, by the advice of 1- - "s second, Dick Waddy, an attorney, and receiving the change of a sixpenny piece, Put the coppers and nuts into his waistcoat poch t't, and marched to the scene of action. Preliminaries being sow ,n arranged, elderly Peter, who was nopostuire „master, soon took up his fighting position. But „Ler, a fine dashing young fellovv, full of spirit, activity, and animation, had scarcely raised his pistol before his ball came crack dash again' Peter's body. The halfpence rattled in his... pocket; Peter dropped flat ; Somerset Dick Waddy roared " murder," al id calle d.' out to surgeon Pack. Peter's clothes 'were ripped up; and Pack, secundum artem, examined the wound. A black hole designated the spot where the lead had pene trated Peter's abdomen. The Doctor shook his head, and prOnounced but one short word, " mortal." Peter 'groaned, and tried to recollect some, prayer, or a scrap of his c a techis m ; hi s friend Waddy began to think about the Coroner; his brother barristers sighed heavily, and Peter was supposed to be fast departing this world (but as they all endeavoured to persuade him, for a better), when Surgeon Pack, after another excla mation, taking lease of Peter, and, leaning his hand on the grass to assist him in rising, felt something hard., took it up and looked at it curi ously; the spectators closed in a circle to see Peter die ; the patient turned his expiring eyes towfArds Surgeon • Pack, as much as to ask, "Is there no hope ?"—when lo! the D actor held up to the astonished assem bly the identical bullet, which having rattled amongst the heads and harps, and gingerbread nuts in Peter's waistcoat-pocket, had flattened its own body on the surface of a preserving copper, and left his Majesty's bust distinctly imprinted and accurately designated, in black and blue shading, on his subject's carcase. Thanks to his gracious Sovereign, and the gingerbread nuts, _Peter stopped his prayers, and got up with a whole skin. The occasion on which Mr. Burrowes was most conspicuous in his whole life was at that period when Lord Castlereagh was intent upon feeling the pulses of the Commons, before he distinctly proposed the measure of the Union. This was a brilliant period; the anti-unionists then came forward on the Parliamentary platform with grand effect. Grattan, Bushe, Daly, and Plunkett, and last, though not least, the subject of this memoir, signalised them selves. Speeches more replete with talent and energy were never heard in the Irish Senate. It was a vital subject : every mind was at its stretch—every talent was in its vigour : it was a momentous trial. The sublime, the eloquent, the figurative orator the plain, the connected, the metaphysical - reasoner—the classical, the learned, and the solemn declaimer—put forth all their might to excite sympathy and conquest in the hearts of a nation which was doomed to close for ever the school of eloquence which had so long given character and celebrity to Irish talent. On the night in question 16th, 1800) the debate was intense. Grattan stood forward like an apostolic champion for his country, and flung about the brilliancies of his eloquence like a sparkling cataract. Mr. Advo cate Dobbs that night assumed an eloquence which electrified the audience by the mighty power he displayed- in resistance to the Union and his solemn protestations against it. Lastly, and after others, Mr. Peter Burrowes rose and said—" Frivolous and fallacious as the Right Honourable Secretary's statement has been, I do not found my opposition upon the peculiar demerit of the system of union which he has de tailed. I openly avow that no terms or condi tions can ever persuade me to surrender the con stitution of Ireland--to transfer the supreme power of the State toa country which has continued dis tinct from ours since the creation, by boundaries which cannot be removed, and by feelings which cannot be eradicated. If a union shall pass, as an Irishman I shall be indifferent how many or how few Deputies shall be sent from this emasculated country. As long as the Parlia ment which legislates for Ireland shall exist in the bosom of a distinct country, as long as a rival feeling shall actuate the heart of that coun try—that is, as long as the heart of man shall beat—this country, dprived of its domestic Par liament, shall be the prostrate victim of British prejudice and British oppression. This is sound theory : this is true history." " Upon the competency of Parliament to pass this measure I shall not dwell : if there he an irresistible truth in politics and in morals, this appears to me to be one—namely, that tempo rary trustees have no right to transfer the object of their trust for ever, without the consent of those through whom, and for whom, they held and exercised it. Every argument to the con trary is built upon a confusion of right with power, and an inference that because institutions originating in wrong have, from policy and ac quiescence, changed their nature, that very act of the supreme power must be rightful." Sir Jonah Barrington, who was an excellent judge of character, and was intimately acquainted with the subject of this memoir, has left this re cord to his memory, in his great work, entitled, " Memoirs of the Legislative Union between England and Ireland," wherein he specially speaks of this occasion thus : 7 ,- " Mr. Peter Burrowes—a veteran advocate of the rights of Ireland wherever and whenever he had the power of declaring himself—on this night made an able effort to uphold his princi ples. He was a gentleman of the bar who justly had many friends. Nothing could be more un gracious than the manner, nothing much better than the matter, of his oration. His mind had ever been too independent to cringe for favour; and his opinions too intractable for an arbitrary Minister ;_on this night he formed a noble and distinguished contrast to those of his own pro fession, who had sold themselves and the repre sentation for a mess of potta ge .7i. This was the last effort mad e to res i st the Union. Poor Grattan, who was suffering on the night from most extreme feebleness, and to whom, as he tottered into the House, every Member simultaneously rose, delivered his sen timents without moving from his seat, and though painfully languid at first, yet the " Spi rit moved within him,' and he gradually glowed into unsurpassing with eloquence. B ut t h e day for England yoking Ireland was at hand, and she was, in sp it e of the majestic efforts em ployed in her behalf, sentenced to cancel her constitution, to disband her Commons, and dis enfranchise her nobility. Who shall describe the indignation, the smothered disgust s of such patriots as Grattan and Burrowes that night when it was proclaimed in the House;—" the A vEs have it. Mr. Peter Burrowes was among the most • ar dent, in his later days; for the repeatof that union which from the first he so vehemently deprecated ; and he passed his life in the pleasing dream that the vigorous agitators of his country would finally effect it.

It is said that Lord De Grey—in order to make amends to Mr. West for the indignity put upon him by the Chancellor—has opened a negotiation with Master Townsend, with a view to the appointment of Ser geant Greene to the Mastership, and the consequent ap pointment of Mr. West to the Sergeantcy. We can scarcely believe that Sergeant Greene, whose professional attainments and reputation at the bar justly entitle him to the most elevated judicial station, would consent to such an arrangement. If the Govern ment be really anxious to promote men of moderate views to the bench,' they could scarcely fix on a more suitable person than Mr. Sergeant Greene. His eleva tion would be perfectly satisfactory to all parties in Ire land ; for, whatever may be his politics, he has never dragged them into Court when discharging the duties of theivocate, nor exhibited them on the bench, when acting as a Judge.—Dublin Pilot. DEATH OF MRS. CATHERINE M'AULEY, OF THE HOUSE OF MERCY. This truly pious and patriotic Irishwoman should not drop into the tomb like those who leave no traces of use fulness behind them. With a mind, a person, and an in dependent fortune, which might command exalted rank in any point of Christendom, she practised, as far as any mortal could, her Saviour's noblest attribute. The heuse of Mercy, in Baggot-street, and fourteen similar esta blishments in various portions of the empire—namely, those of Kingstown, Booterstown, Tullamore, Carlow, Naas, Galway, Limerick, Wexford, Charleville, Cork, Parsonstown„Bermondsey;Liverpool, and Birmingham— were her own foundations ; and, after seeing about one hundred of her spiritual daughters walking in her path, she expired in her 57th year of a disease which she con tracted in the discharge of what she deemed her duty. From the hand of one who knew her many years before she took the veil, and who has frequently been edified by her example, this trifling tribute is an act of grati tude and justice. THE WEATHER.—There was a heavy fall of snow last night and this morning, an occurrence very unusual in this country at so early a season of the year. The hills in the vicinity of the city have all the appearance of a severe January. Several of the country mails were late in their delivery at the Post-office this morning, the coaches having been retarded by the state of the roads. Dublin Evening Mail. THE METEORS OF NOV. 12. " Cambridge Observatory, Nov. 15. " Nothing of an unusual character was observed here either on the night of the 12th inst., or subsequently." " Royal Observatory, Greenwich, Nov. 15. " The only night in the last week, favourable for the observation of meteors, among - those nights in which they have usually been seen, was the 12th instant (Friday). The night was remarkably fine. A careful watch was kept at the Royal Observatory throughout the night, and every shooting star (or nearly every one) which was seen was registered. The whole number was 25, a number probably much inferior to that usually seen at other parts of the year in equally fine weather." LOVE MATTERS.—A Gloucester paper has the following touching advertisement I .—" Ihe Fair Incognita of Gloucester Festival (of the 10th of Septem ber) is earnestly requested to proceed one step further, by rendering her admirer a clue whereby he may be enabled to express the sentiments with which he also was impressed, at the n:eeting to which allusion has been made in the favour recently received." _ _ _ Yesterday an inquisition was taken before Mr. T. Wakley, M.P., at the sign of the Six Bells, King's road, Chelsea, on view of the body of Mrs. Anne Davis, aged seventy- two years. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was a lady of independent property, residing at No. 3, King's-parade, Chelsea. On Sunday last the deceased attended Divine service at Chelsea new church. While proceeding with her daughter up the middle aisle to her pew, she suddenly uttered a loud scream, and instantly sank to the floor. Medical assist ance was of no avail. Verdict—Died by the visitation of God. SPRATS.—lmmense shoals of sprats have within the last few days visited the Bristol Channel and Severn. The captain of a vessel, which arrived here yesterday, expressively said that he could have taken tons on his passage up with the greatest facility. Such a circumstance is very unusual on this side of the is land. On the eastern coast, particularly off the mouth of the Thames, sprats are taken in such quantities that many tons are every year landed at Gravesend for ma nure.—Gloucestershire Chronicle. The : ,_weather of Sundiy was so calm on the nortllernebast, that the saltite fired at Dover on the em barkation of his Excellency the British Ambassador for France,was distinctly heard at Boulogne.

AN HOSPITAL FOR DRUNKARDS.--An hos• pital has been recently opened in New York for drun kards who are resolved to reform. Throwing aside the inconveniences, in the medical point of view, attending a sudden change in the use of stimulating drinks, it is obvious that there is nothing more difficult than to renounce habits of indulgence ; and, as to leaving them off by degrees, it is morally impos sible; to indulge at all, is to relax self-control, and to abide the consequences of such relaxation. The only chance for the confirmed drunkard is to change scene, change associations, to quit, as far as possible, the routine of his life, so as to weaken those ties which bind him to any particular habit. This is no easy task ; and, without the advantage of an institution like that just established in New York, there are but few who can ac complish it. An asylum for the cure or amendment of bad habits in general would meet, we think, if skilfully managed, with more encouragement and success than might be at first imagined.—Athenceinn.

Since Sunday evening we have had a continuance of fine frosty weather, with a slight fall of snow On Monday night.—Cantbridr Advt. FRANCE. ATTEMPT OF SEPT. 13. TRIAL OF QUE NISSET AND HIS ACCOMPLICES. PARIS, MONDAY, Nov. 15.—Count de Bastard, the reporter of the Committee of Inquiry, read his volumi nous report this morning in the Luxembourg, but it will not be completed before to-morrow. The Commis sioners were, Baron Pasquier, Chancellor of France, President of the Court of Peers ; the Duke Decazes, the Grand Referendary ; Count de Bastard, Count d'Argout, Barthe, Persil, and Rossi. The report com mences with stating that the new attempt, referred to the Peers, had filled France with indignation and stupor, and it asks how the blind fury of factions can be ex plained when it directed its efforts against a young Prince (the Duke d'Aumale), who had returned with his brave regiment, and surrounded by his brothers was receiving the acclamations of the public. The inquiry had established that this attempt was not an isolated act, but that the responsibility extended to other individuals, who had inspired the exhibi tion of Quenisset and placed the weapon in his hand. It resulted that it was the work of the Secret So cieties, and the reporter then stated that the Peers would have to examine the situation of the accused under a double report, first, as authors and accomplices of the attempt on the Princes; and, secondly, as authors or accomplices of a conspiracy, the aim of which was to destroy the Government. On the days preceding the 13th of September much fermentation existed, and sinister projects were suspected. On the night of the 12th the publisher of the Humanitaire (M. Charavay) was arrested at a public-house in the Rue St Denis, and on his person important documents were found. On the morning of the 13th a meeting of regicides took place at the wine-shop of Colombier, in the Rue St. Antoine, at the corner of the Rue Travarsiere, and there the resolu- tion was adopted to attack the Prince and his staff, to cut down only the officers, and to cry out " The 17th of the Line for ever :" The author of the attempt was at this meeting, and arms and cartridges were distributed, and the conspirators distributed themselves in the Rue St. Antoine, which the Prince was to pass. The inquiry established that it was at the Dukes of Or leans, Nemours, and Aumale that the attempt was directed, and, but for the horse of the Lieutenant-Colonel of the 17th, the bullets would have reached the persons of the Princes. The assassin was secured. He called himself Papart, but his name was soon ascertained to be Quenisset, a sawyer by trade, born at Scelle (Haut Saone), living in Paris, Rue Popincourt, No. 58. Two pistols weree - found on the spot of the attempt, one dis charged and the other loaded. Quenisset admitted that he gave one to an accomplice. Quenisset was of a re spectable family in the Jura, and his early years afforded no indication of his future crime. He had been in the 15th Regiment of Infantry, tried for mutiny and an assault on his corporal, was sentenced to five years' im prisonment ' • but after two years being excused, he took the name of Papart, lived with a woman of the name of Leptatre, and came to Paris. He was again condemned for an assault, and while at St. Pelagie he made the ac quaintance of a man named Prioul, condemned fur illicit possession of arms. When both were re • leased Prioul introduced Quenisset as member of the Society of Travailleurs Egalitaires. Prioul represented Quenisset as a man who could loe relied upon for his firmness, and whose political opinions were in harmony with their own. Colombier, the keeper of the wine shop, received at his house a great number of Commu nists, and of Travailleurs Egalitaires (workmen on an equality.) The newspapers were read there daily, such as the National, the Journal du Commerce, the Popu laire, and the Journal du People. The plans of the Secret Societies were discussed at this wine shop, which was in fact a place of initiation where the adepts engaged themselves by a solemn oath to arm themselves against the King's Government, to do everything to upset it, and to follow the orders and directions of unknown chiefs, to whom they swore a blind obedience, promising on their heads not to reveal what was confided to them. Quenisset, accompanied by one of his comrades, also a sawyer named Boucheron, was presented by 1?og gio early in the month of August, and admitted in this Society, after having heard a long revolutionary harangue, and taken the oath exacted by his ac complices. From that time to the 13th of September Quenisset went almost daily to the house of Colombier. On the morning of the 13th, at five o'clock, Quenisset went to the Place de Greve to seek for work, but was unsuccessful. On his return at the Barriere des Amandes he met Boggio, to whom he was indebted for the intro duction into the Society of Ouvriers Egalitaires. Boggio said to him that a movement was preparing, and that he was going to the Societies to inform them thereof. He asked Quenisset to go to Colombier's, where they were assembling. Quenisset went there, and found a dozen iudividuals discussing whether they were to fight or to remain quiet. A man of the name of Fremont, alias Dufour, had already distributed cartridges amongst them ; Quenisset receiving two like the other conspi rators, although he was at that time without arms, but soon after at the house of Bruzier, alias Just, he re ceived a brace of pistols, which they loaded together. Quenisset, on quitting ust for the rendezvous in the Rue St. Antoine, met Boucheron, to whom he gave one of the pistols. Thus armed, Quenisset and Boucheron went down the street, and were joined by Just and Martin ; Boggio, who was attending there, stationed them at the corner of the Rue Traversiere. At this moment Quenisset had become much excited, and being placed on the pavement, having near him Boucheron and several accomplices, he met the 17th Regiment, and fired as has been stated. The next day after his arrest Quenisset, the miserable instrument of a faction more guilty than he, appeared affected by his crime, and was anxious to reveal all; thus repairingin the only manner, says the report, by the sincerity of his confession, what he had done. All the facts he had revealed had been fully confirmed. At his first examination, on the 15th, he wept bitterly, and on being assured that his wife, or rather associate, and child should be protected from the violence of the Secret Societies, he began his avowals. He urged the upsetting of the present system, and of esta blishing equality as the basis of rights, each workman to be paid a sum fixed by the law. " Death to the King" and the destruction of the throne were to be their mottoes. Quenis set then described his admission, having his eyes bandaged. He was then asked by Boucheron, " Citizen, what do you think of the present Government? think you that we are badly governed?" Quenisset replied, " Yes." Boucheron then said, " Thou knowest that we are Revolutionists ; raise thy hand, and swear by thy head that thou wilt strip thyself of thy fortune and property, that thou wilt quit thy wife and children if thou hast any, and that thou wilt be found in the streets at the first cry of alarm; that thou wilt fight without counting the number of the enemy; thou wilt also never reveal or disclose a word of what thou hearest. To be Revolutionists like we, thou must swear to fear neither death nor prison. Thou swear est! Pay attention to what thou sayest, for thy head is in danger." Quenisset then states that not knowing whether a pistol or a dagger was held at his head, his eyes being bandaged, he took the oath ; his name, residence, and business having been previously asked. Before the ban dage was removed, he was told that his children and wife, if he had any, underwent the same risk as himself. He was then told to go as often as possible to M. Colom bier's. Mallet then took off the bandage, and he was em braced by all, saying, " Citizen, we acknowledge thee as a member of our society." On returning home he re marked that he was watched. Quenisset said that he did not know the Prince, and that he had even asked of Boucheron if the King was there. When Just, Auguste, Jean Marie, Mallet, and others had assembled, they cried out, " Long live the 17th ;" " Down with Louis Phi lippe ;" " Down with Guizot ;" " Down with the Royal Family and the Princes." Just then said to Quenisset, pointing out the officers, " It is at them you must fire." Quenisset then admits that he drew out the pistol and discharged it in the direction mentioned by Just. Que nisset denied that he aimed at any particular person. When he was seized his comrades were " cowardly enough," said Quenisset, "not to defend him." Quenisset was confronted with Boucheron and Just, and the report declares that at all these examinations Quenisset, by the firmness of his language, by the precision of his recollection, convinced the Committee that he had told the truth in all points. These interrogatories of Que nisset led to the several arrests of members of the Secret Societies, which led to the prompt results. The report then examines into each case separately, in the order of their importance : " 1. Boucheron, aged 36, sawyer, born at Roullie (Sarthe), living in Paris, Rue de Zappe, No. 2. " 2.

STATISTICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—A full meeting of the fellows of this Society was held on Monday even ing last, at their Rooms, 4, St. Martin's-place, when a long list of donations which had been received during the recess were reported. An abstract of a paper on the Burman Empire was read, by which it appears that the population of that empire, which was computed by the old geographers in former years at 30,000,000, was, in 1826, only 4,230,000.

From the evidence adduced, it appeared that the deceased was for merly in business as a linen-draper, but had lately been employed as a commercial traveller ; his circumstances, however were embarrassed, which, in con j unct i on w i th bodily ailment, had produced great mental excitement. On Tuesday morning, 9th inst., deceased left his home at No. 32, North-row, Grosvenor-square, since which time nothing was heard of him until the body was disco vered in the Serpentine on Sunday last. The Jury re turned a verdict of "Found drowned." PENCIL CEDAR.—It is not generally known that if the lining of drawers in which clothes are kept, is made of pencil cedar, no moths or other destructive insects will get into them, and as this wood is much cheaper than wainscot or mahogany , and gives a de lightful perfume to the clothes contained in the drawers, these facts only require to be known to bring it into very general ase. EVENING SUN vering surveillance on the part of the Magistrature a nd of the Juries a zeal and firmness which nothing ought - to in timidate nor to discourage. Society was tired of that auda city of crime which never tires, it wishes that the ',Teat in terests confided to power may no longer be exposed to the mercy of a small number of men, strangers as eau were among us, and quite out of the pale of our morsels, insti- . tutions, and manners, and far removed from the prin ciples upon which society reposes ; an intperceptible mi nority, but which was rendered powerful by the mys tery of its organisation,'and the unshaken perseverance of its designs, and the atrocity of its means of action. " But in pointing out these dangers it was important to remind the country, that the union of all honest peo ple would triumph always over an anarchical. minority, and that at various periods such designs had been de feated. Courage and patriotism existed in this epoch. The monarchical and constitutional Government finds in itself, moreover, a power of perpetuity which fa c ti on did not possess. Insensates, not to perceive that the force of the Royal Government would survive the So vereign, and that the memory of him who in so many dangers had succeeded to raise France to the degree of prosperity at which she had arrived, would serve to strengthen his work, and that, the inheritor of his throne, instructed in his school, formed by his lessons, and of whom our public assemblies have appreciated the wis dom, as our army the courage, would raise at the very moment the crown which the will of the country, sanc tioned by the fundamental law, has placed on the head of his father, in order that he might transmit it to his descendants." RECEPTION OF LORD COWLEY IN PARIS. His Majesty Louis Phillippe held a Court at the Tuileries this morning (Monday), for the reception of Lord Cowley, the newly-appointed Ambassador to the Court of France. His Excellency has taken up his resi dence at present at Meurice's Hotel, in the Rue Rivoli, as the preparations for his reception at the Embassy are not yet completed. At noon precisely two of the Royal carriages, each drawn by eight horses, arrived at the above hotel for the purpose of conveying his Excellency to the Palace. The cortege consisted of the two Royal carriages, followed by four outriders and his Lordship's private carriage, containing Mr. Henry Bulwer and the attaches of the embassy. Lord Cowley was conducted to the throne-room by Count St. Moris, where he was presented to hi; Majesty, who was standing at the throne, at the foot of which was M. Guizot. His Lord ship then put on his hat., , and presented his cre dentials to the King, who immediately handed them to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. After the customary speech, to which his Majesty replied in most flattering terms, the Ambassador withdrew to the Royal apartments to be introduced to the Queen, to the Prince, and to the Princesses of the Royal Household. At twenty minutes past one his Excellency returned to his hotel in the carriage of his Majesty in the same order as before. There will be this evening a grand dinner, to which are invited all the members of the English Embassy. On Wednesday next, the 17th inst., M. Guizot will give a grand diplomatic dinner to Lord Cowley, to which Sir Stratford Canning, the English Ambassador to Vienna, is invited. To-morrow, the 16th, Lord Cowley, will commence his visits to the members of the corps diptomatigue resident in Paris. The report that hiS Excellency had already paid some of these visits is unfounded, as his Lord ship held no official character until the presentation of his credentials. COURT CIRCULAR.

The line to Chorley will be opened on the 23d of December. The contractor for the tunnel at Chorley is using great exertions, and there is no doubt but the whole line will be completed and opened to the public in September next. Some conception of the magnitude of the work at the tunnel may be formed, when we state that seven steam-engines have been found necessary to work the pumps, having a power of nearly sixty horses. The last dry weather has had an exceedingly good effect, the quantity of water being much less in consequence. The dimensions of the tunnel will be 20 feet by 22 feet 6 inches; its length about 300 yards.
