FRENCH. PAPERS. From the Journals of Thursday and Friday.) The slooti of war Le Mesnnge, lately lying„in the roadstead at Marseilles, has received orders tosatl'on * mission for the East. A. M. Pasquier was arraigned a few days ago be fore the Tribunal of Correctional Police at Nantes, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment and a fine i of 100 francs for defacing a bust of the bring, placed in the guard-house of the National Guards. A vender of the Journal called the Boa Sens was a short time since, condemned to fiftetb days' imprison ment for having sold papers tl3 the shop of a grocer. He, however, appealed to the Royal Court, and the case came on to I.P heard yesterday, when it was de cided that a sale in a shop is not a violation of the law regulating public cryers. The sentence was set aside. M. Chaley, a Judge of the Civil Tribune of Lyons, having published with his name in the Precurseur of May 9 a Protest against the Asscrelatimx Law, has been cited to appear before dm Court of Cassation to answer for a breach of discipline. The Commissiot cf the Court of Peers sat on Tuesday, and again entered upon the affair of the Tribune, ttna at length decided upon the liberation of M. Ducliatel, an editor of that journal. M. Gervais and Plagniol are still detained in custody, notwith standing a letter of M. Armand Marrast, which dis tinctly states that neither of them had any share in the editorship of the paper, and consequently could tint be responsible for the articles incriminated. Notwithstanding his sufferings en Monday M. Armand Carrel appeared on Tuesday morning before the Court of Assizes at Rouen, and took his trial. The Court considered the identity between the National rnd the National de 1834 as 'fully esta blished, and therefore declared that the prosecution was well grounded ; but inasmuch as the editors ap peared to have acted with a belief that they *ere jus tified, sentenced them to pay the costa only, without inflicting any other penalty. This judgment applies to M. Conseil, who was condemned by default, as his death was not legally proved. M. Carrel has ap pealed to the "Court.ot Cassation against this decision, which would prevent him publishing judicial pro ceedings. . _ _ General Voirol, Commander-in--thief in Algiers, has addressed a report to the Minister of War, dated the 6th inst.; to the following effect :—The General expresses his conviction that the peace lately made will be lasting, end that the Arabs have the same im pression) since several villages of Sahhel, which had been deserted on account of their being exposed to the incursions of the Hadjoutes, are re-peopling with great rapidity. At the same time the General de clares his apprehensions that affairs would fall back into their former disastrous state if the forces he now has under him were too hastily reduced ; but when 14 shall have been able to establish a permanent line of posts along the Metidja, anti time and habit have conso lidated the French power and authority in the country, then the Army of Occupation may be safely reduced. General Voirol adds that he had sent the Marabout Sidi Moharnmeg to Coleah, where he was received by the inhabitants and the Hadjoutes, who were assembled there in great numbers, with every mark of joy and respect. Prayers were offered up in the mosques for the King of the French, and for his representative in Africa. He states also that the last market at &lf farick was well attended, and supplied with so much corn that the price had fallen considerably ; that, in future, the market should be attended by the Euro peans as well as the natives ; and that he intended, on the following morning, to send to Bouffarick his aide- ' de-camp and Ben Omar, who would remain during the continuance of the market,and by their presence produce a great and good effect. The general concludes by stating, as a I,roof of the progress of the French au thority in the country, that he had a few days before sent several gendarmes to the tribe of Krachna to ar rest two men who had escaped from justice, and they were taken, without the least resistance, from the tribes ! (Prom Galignani's Messenger of Saturday.) Extract of a later from Madrid, dated the 9th inst. : Immediately after the Cortes are assembled, the Government will lay before it the following important measures :—First, the exclusion of the Carlists from all public employments—Secondly, an acknowledg ment of the claims of all persons who had acquired na tional property under the Constitutional Government, to be reimbursed the expenses they have been at in making improvements, and also their right to interest upon their capital--and, Thirdly, the execution of the decree of Ferdinand VII., of the 30th Sept., 1823, on the eve of his departure for Cadiz, whereby he so lemnly engaged to maintain in their functions, ho nours, and emoluments, all who had acquired them under the same Constitutional Government. This decree the Duke d'Angouleme suffered to be violated on the day when Ferdinand threw off the mask, and appeared in his insincere character. If this news be true, the measures proposed will amount to an ac knowledgment of all the acts of the Constitutional Government, including the public debt, for the decree of September 30 declares all the acts of that Govern ment valid." A letter from Ancona states that the Republic of St. Marin has addressed notes to the Cabinets of France and England respecting the Poles, who have taken refuge within the republic, declaring that as these refugees maintain an irreproachable conduct,and industriously earn their livelihood, the authorities would not expel them. The Augsburg Gazette of the 17th instant has the following, of the sth, from Naples :—" All attempts of the Cabinet of Madrid to renew relations with the Neapolitan Court have hitherto been fruitless. There appears no doubt that Sardinia, Naples, and Lucca, have signed a mutual treaty, by which these three States not only solemnly protest against succession in the female line to the throne of Spain, but also mutu ally to support their respective rights against such an attempt, and not in any case acknowledge the present Government de facto. We have received no news of the expedition - sent against Morocco ; but it is hoped it will have the same favourable result as that sent against Tunis last year; A Sardinian flotilla has joined the Neapolitans for this purpose." According to recent accounts from Algiers, the treaty entered into by Abdel Kader with the French Commander-in-Chief at Oran, has inspired so little confidence in the Arabs that the chief of the tribe en camped at Mers-el-Kibir, and the cadi of the Gabaruts refused to lead them' to Abdel Kader, who wished to take them under his protection. Events have proved these two chiefs were justified in not placing any re liance upon the power of Abdel Kader; for, notwith standing the considerable number of arms which have fallen into his bands in the several conflicts with our troops, and the 400 muskets granted to him, and though his infantry has been directed by our deserters, he has been completely' routed by Mustapha. This event naturally gives rise to an apprehension that.the peace of the province of Oran, purchased by such large concessions to Abdel Kader, will be broken by his more fortunate competitor, and that Mustapha, who was the earlier ally of France, though neglected to court Ab del Kader, may turn his arms against the French. SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette of the 7th inst., contains a Royal Ordonnance regulating the publication of jour nals and other periodical writings, of which the follows inn are the most important provisions :—" No person shall publish, without having previously obtained a royal permission, any journal treating upon any other subject than the arl4, natural sciences; and literature. Such permission shall be granted only to such citizens as possess the qualifications required by the decree of the 20th of May to become electors of Deputies to the Cortes. Each person authorized to publish a journal, shall deposit, as caution money, 20,000 rials iu specie,_ or 40,000 rials in the public funds, for Ma drid ; and for the provinces. 10,000 rials in specie, or 20,000 rials in the funds. All journal, except those Mentioned above, shall be subject to a censorship. There shall be four censors at Madrid, and. one at Barcelona, Cadiz, Valencia, Pampeluna, and all the other towns where journals are published. The censors shall examine all periodical writings within 24 hours after they shall have been submitted to them. The censors shall admit, not only the articles coming within the categories established by Articles 123 and 124 of the decree of the 4th of January, 1834, but also those which treat of Government, morals, and politics. The censors shall not admit any articles tending to destroy vr lessen respect for religion, or to affect the rights and prerogatives of the Crown, the Estatuto Real , or any of the other fundamental laws or the mo narch y , .to provoke rebellion or disturbance, to excite, directly or indirectly, disobedience to the laws or the legiti mate authorities, by invectives, satires, allegories, al lusions, ifet , i t ip r okiq not admit any writings which are liceACl ~ attreise contrary to good morals; any in,; .. ,o . •• 7: • ~. - libels which may wound Alpt-nr the fr Ings it reputa ; .. . private or public men , e‘en,tltong.liAhcie .shc4ill 'lconveyed by anagrams , alleg4rres og 44 ':: -7 iit*W,, : •be offensive to foreign Soveltinianc4oernmental or tend to excite their -...___ N i F _ ~j 1Unt0,440- subjects to revolt..

When the civil governors shall find that a journal, or any article in it, is of a nature to ex cite disturbance, they may, upon their own responsi bility, suspend the circulation of that number of the journal ; but, in such case, they shall immediately send to the Minister of the Interior two copies, ac compauied by a statement of the reasons for the sus pension. Any printer or publisher who shall sell any numbers of a prohibited journal shall pay for each copy so sold a fine equal to the price of 500 copies of the number. In . all cases the rights of third persons are reserved. The amount of the fines shall be ap plied, in each province, to the benefit of such charitable establishments as shall be most in need." Extract of a letter of the 9th inst. from Madrid : " A great conspiracy, the object of which was the restoration of the ministerial portfolios to Messrs. Zea, Crus , and Burgos, i s said to have been disco vered, and important papers seized. The diplomatic body played an active part in it, wishing to restore enlightened despotism. It seems it was intended to seduce the Regent by a project which was to lead the northern powers and the papal court to acknowledge Isabella 11., but Queen Christina did not fall into the snare, and she herself revealed all this intrigue to her ministers. The Rus s i an Ambassador quits Madrid to return to his Sovereign, the three Northern Powers forming the Holy Alliance have therefore no longer representatives at the Court of Isabella. The Court will return to Madrid on the 15th instant, and pro bably will not leave it again this year on account of the meeting of the Cortes. M. S. Miguel, Minister for Foreign Affairs in 1823, is expected at Madrid. Orders have been given for a light squadron to cruise off the coasts of Biscay and Guipuscoa, in order to prevent the insurgents from holding communications with each other by sea. The first brigade of General Rodil is marching upon Navarre, and the troops which were in Old Castile have set out in waggons, each containing sixteen men, for the same point. The convocation of the Cortes will be celebrated in the following r manne On the 12th there will be a grand parade of the troops of the garrison and the Urban militia ; on the lath thert are to be masquerades, horse-races, and other popular amusements, to conclude with illumina tions. The law on the press is generally disapproved. A new journal, the Messagero des Cortes, is about to appear at Madrid, under the direction of Messrs. Cala trava and Aguilan, both of whom were members of the former Cortes. A Spanish version of the Mariage de Figaro has been performed at the Prince's Theatre ; but the scissors of the censor have so mutilated the piece, that it was reduced to one-half its dimensions, and it was unmercifully hissed ; but on the following day the anxiety of the public to witness the represen tation was so great, that the house was completely filled the instant after the doors were opened.

(SOME FURTHER PARTICULARS.) Upon the royal party being conveyed to the com modious apartments provided for them, Don Carlos requested that the guard might be dismissed, after thanking them for their attention. The Prince de clined the usual honour of having sentinels posted at the door of his residence. Such were the grateful feelings of the royal party to Captain Fanshawe, and the officers and crew of the Donegal, that Don Carlos wished to distribute 5001. amongst the crew, and present each officer with a gratuity, which he was' prevented from doing only by an assurance that such presents were contrary to Admiralty orders. It ap pears that so closely were the royal party pursued by General Rodil, that on one day the Princesses and the children were compelled to walk several miles for personal security, and that without any subsistence whatever. Don Carlos did not appear to possess any money when he embarked in the Donegal, but he received ample supplies so soon as he arrived in this country. The family of Don Carlos consists of the Queen (so called), her sister (the Princess de Beira), and three sons, the eldest about 16 years of age. The Bishop of Leon and the domestic chaplain are the only ecclesiastical persons in the suite. Whatever be the opinions formed of the fitness of Don Carlos to the present political circumstances of Spain, connected with the social reforms and arrangements in progress throughout that kingdom, there can be no exception whatever taken to that Prince's personal character : he is in private life a pattern of the social and domestic virtues, and is beloved, we are assured, by every person around him. During his sojourn here (at Ranger's lodgings, in the High-street), he has been noticed by every official person in the Navy and Garrison, who tendered their respectful courteous sympathy to the Prince and his family. We under stand that his present intention is to take up his resi dence in the neighbourhood of London, there to wait for opening events to return to his own country, of which he entertains the most sanguine expectations.. The Spanish Ambassador, M . Count traflores, who arrived here on Saturday night last, was followed on Sunday morning by Mr. Under-Secretary Backhouse, from the Foreign Office, who went on board the Donegal, and had an interview of upwards of an hour with D on Carlos. The purpose of this interview is of course not known, but his Royal Highness subse quently said he hid bad splendid offers made to him, but that he had conceded none of his rights, nor had he compromised those of his children, nor would he, and that he had accepted nothing. Mr. Backhouse returned to town the same evening, with the Ambassa dor, who was not admitted to an interview with the Prince, on the following morning. The Ambassador was saluted with 13 guns both on entering and leaving the garrison.—Hampshire Telegraph. THE BANK OF FRANCE.—The Moniteur contains a Royal Ordonnance, dated the 15th inst., for regulating the advances to be made by the Bank of France, which is composed of the following Arti cles :—" Art. 1. The Council-General of the Bank of France shall, at its first meeting in every week, fix the amount:of the sum to be advanced upon the de posit of French stock not redeemable at a fixed period. Art. 2. No advance shall exceed four-fifths of the value of the stock deposited, according to the price on the day before the advance is made. The stock shall be immediately transferred to the bank. Art. 3. The borrower shall sign an obligation to repay the sum advanced within a gig en time, which shall not exceed three months. Art. 4. This obligation shall contain an engagement on the part of the borrower to make good any deficiency which may arise from a fall in the price of the stock transferred as often as such fall shall amount to ten per cent. Art. 5. In case any borrower shall fail in executing the engagements be enters into in virtue of Articles 3 and 4, the Bank shall have the right of selling at the Stock Exchange, by a broker, the whole or part of the stock which shall have been transferred to it by him ; that is to say—First, In de fault of covering the deficit within three days after notice left at his residence by ecte extra-judiciaire. Secondly, In default of reimbursement of the sum advanced on the day following the day fixed for the repayment, without any notice or other formality. The Bank shall reimburse itself out of the produce of the sale the amount of the sum advanced, with interest and expenses. These conditions shall be expressly consented to by the borrower in the engagement to be by him entered into in pursuance of Art►cles 3 and 4 of this present Ordonnance." HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO MORROW. Morning... 9 minutes after 4 Eveping = 27 minutes alter 4 TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT ELEC- TORS OF THE BOROUGH OF FINSBURY. GENTLEMEN, IHAVE this moment received a requisition so numerously and respectably signed, inviting me to be come a CANDIDATE for the honour of representing you in Parliament, that I consider it would be a dereliction of my public duty were I to decline acceding to the request. 1 rejoice to find that my votes and conduct during three successive Parliaments have gained me your approba..iou. They were founded on the anxious desire to promote such liberal and constitutional Improvements, both in Church and -State, as the enlightened and improving condition of society imperatively demand. As I trust, gentlemen, you will afford me opportunities of meeting vou previous to the day of nomination, when I can have the honour of addressing you more fully upon these subjects, I think it unnecessary to say more at pre sent than to assure you that, if invested with the high distinction of representing yon, no exertion shall be want ing on my part to procure for all classes of My fellow countrymen, without reference to religious distinctions, the full and free enjoyment of those blessings and privi leges which not only reason and justice dictate, but which the British Constitution, impartially administered, is capa ble of affording. I intend having the honour of paying my personal respects to every elector, as far as human exertion will enable me. I trust, however, to the kind ness of those upon whom, from the shortness of the time previous to the day of Election, I may not be able to call, will attribute my absence to the impossibility of doing so, and not to any want of respect on my part. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient and faithful servant, T. S. DUNCOBIBE. Crown Tavern, Clerkenw ell, June 23. 4:Ari k f , 7. 4f4; 113l leP LONDON. MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 23, 1834• The amendment moved by Mr. MILES, in the Commons on Saturday, relative to the bastardy clauses, and carried by a large majority, , is a vast improvement on the Poor L aws' Amendment Bill, and removes nearly all the objections we have repeatedly urged a gainst them. The manner in which Lord AL THORP acceded to the proposition, only gives him an addi tional claim on the esteem and gratitude of the country, for though he could not concur entirely in the principle on which it was founded, he would not suffer his own individual opinion to be a bar to what many, both in the house and out of it, considered absolutely necessary. By this amended clause the father and mother are placed somewhat on an equal footing. Whenever the mother and child shall become chargeable to the parish, the parish 'can come upon 'the father for the maintenance of the child, and the expense may be either paid weekly, by attaching wages or other income, or by a fixed sum levied by the justices out of the estate of the father, who shall thereby be discharged from any future payment for the maintenance of such child. The simple oath of the woman is not as formerly to be taken as a proof of paternity, but the justices are to take such other additional evidence as they may deem necessary, and aLso give the putative father the power of meeting the charge of affiliation by witnesses. 'Fhe expenses in curred by the mother at the birth of the child . are to be paid by the father, but after that she is to Nave no interest in the weekly payments, which are to be given wholly for the use, and benefit, and relief of the parish on which the child would become chargeable. The father, on refusing to pay, if he has no attachable property, to be imprisoned from six weeks to three months. These conditions 'are just and expedient. They destroy every:pros pect, on the part of the woman, of benefitting by her immorality; and act; at the same time, as a check on the man. It is to be observed, that the father is not called on to support the child, if the mother have the means ; and in that case, she, or her parents, can have their action, as at present, for seduction, or loss of services. These alterations, on the whole, are judicious — they abolish the chief absurdities of the old system—they remedy the defects of the new, and will meet, we are convinced, with general approbation. Accounts from Spain mention that the cholera has broken out in that country, and occasioned very general apprehension. An extract of a letter, dated the 9th inst., . from Madrid, contained in the French Papers of Friday, talks of a great conspiracy having been discovered by the QUEEN REGENT, the ob ject of which was the restoration of the Mi nisterial portfolios to Messrs. 'LEA, CRUZ, and BURGOS. The diplomatic body, at least that portion of it which is connected with the despo tic powers, are said to have taken an active share in it. Our contemporary the Herald has an article this morning on the system pursuing by Minis ters, of which we defy the most shrewd and practised reader to make any thing, except that it is exceedingly solicitous to find fault with Government, and does not know very well how to set about it. It speaks with infinite pomp, and a grave - shake of the head, of the expe diency of " little peddling views giving place to an enlarged system ,of action,"• forgetful, appa rently, or, what is more probable, wantonly dis regardful, of the fact that the Poor Laws' Amend ment Bill, which has just passed through commit tee in the House of Commons, is a legislative enactment of the most " enlarged" and com prehensive character, and calculated to be attended with more substantial benefits to the community than any that has been pro jected and carried into execution by the Tories for the last half century. Again, our contemporary laments that Ministers do not pay sufficient warning to the signs of the times. Really this is a most extraordinary charge to bring against them, at the very moment too when the Tory readers of the Herald, are find ing fault with Earl GREY for paying too much deference to the " spirit of the age !" As elderly gentlewomen are proverbially prone to discontent, we suppose our venerable contem porary, pleading the privilege of her sex, is re solved to have her grumble out, be it with, or without, the shadow of a foundation. In the last article of the last number of the Quarterly Review, it is asserted, as " an incon trovertible fact, that the universities have been from the days of ALFRED to those of WIL LIAM IV. the exclusive seminaries of the esta blished religion." And further, that " the universities themselves, and all the colleges, have been founded on one great principle— connexion with the religion of the state." But is this really so ? and does a knowledge of the arts and sciences constitute no part of the pur poses for which the universities or any of their colleges were founded? Is no person that is not of the religion of the . state to become a Master of Arts, or to be entitled to a degree in . law or medicine ; and is the knowledge of natu ral religion to be excluded from the course of instruction ? Further, if a Scottish Presbyte rian, or an Irish Catholic, becomes a student at Oxford or Cambridge, is he to be excluded from all academical honours ? The assertion of the reviewer assumes rather a startling position, and coming as it should seem from authority, it appears to us to render it absolutely neces sary that it should be ascertained for what pur poses the universities and their colleges were really founded. Mr. MUNDELL has suggested, in his last publication, that the heads of col leges should be ordered to make a re turn to Parliament of their several sta tutes, which will show the property granted to them, and the purposes for which it was granted ; but suggesting that . the return, should also state the present annual income of each college, and the matters taught, and the manner of teaching them, in order that the Legislature might have the means of seeing how each of these foundations could be rendered most instrumental in accomplishing the purposes of their several foundations, the great object of which he seemed to think was for the purpose of enabling our youth, withmii distinction, to acquire useful learning, and receive wholesome instruction. But before the country can give . the reviewer credit for his assertion, or suffer him thus to make the foun dations of these colleges the ground of the exclusiveness for which he contends, they must have before them the statutes of their several foundations, so that they may be enabled to form a judgment for themselves in this respect. All that relates to the marriages of sectaries church-rates, tithes, the registering of births and burials, or the granting of a charter to the London Universities, or to pluralities or non residence, has nothing to do with the purposes for which the Universities or their colleges . were founded, though all these things are mixed up by the reviewer in one common hotch-potch of assumption, that it is. the intention of the government and of the dissenters to whom it is su pposed to be subservient to destroy the esta blished church. Each and all of these things rest upon their own merits, and though there is no other connection between them, in so far as regards marriages, church-rates, and the re gistering of births and burials, that► tha't they have formed a ground of complaint amongst dissenters, "who, the reviewer assumes, mean to supersede the established church, yet he con founds them with pluralities and non-residence, which concern not dissenters, nor even the Established o tut C histe l b u reeo r : c d, l iy i ed , :o b ,ea u tin.: t dow o t i iN i iv l oc y h - omen s r o oce t er i e i r e tnohv o ee f ydr i id t s s mo7eansyti mem bers with whom the Church is further eiorwst con foundedaoadswlnnacitrsretolhibfgayitland they are affected by tithes only in common with other land owners; nor does the - London University concern dissenters more than it does any other description of persons in the state, unless, indeed, it were em powered to grant degrees to dissenters,which the reviewer further assures us is the main purpose for which that institution desires to have a charter. But all'these things figure in the ap prehension . of the reviewer, and, we are afraid, in the apprehension also of a great many well meaning members of the Established Church, as being levelled at the established religion, than which, as it appears to us, nothing can be more gratuitous or unfounded. We think it re quires no more than what we have said to show that one and all of them rest upon grounds perfectly separate and distinct, but we confess we are anxious that a return should be ordered such as Mr. MUNDELL has suggested, for we do not think that Mr. WOOD'S bill to admit i t n he o U le n H ive o r u s s it e les of ca p n ee b r e s dissenterssati sfactorily to without it, and we should have been well pleased that such a return had been ordered before it discusseddegrees in was discussed in the House of Commons.

HUGHES suggested to the hon. member whe ther it would not be better to postpone the second reading of this bill until the house could hear what was the opinion of the Common Council of London with respect to it. He would move, for this purpose, that the bill be read a second time to-morrow. Mr. Alderman WOOD did not see any necessity for postponing the second reading, and could not therefore ac cede to the suggestion of the hon. member. The gallery was then cleared for a division but no divi sion took place, and the second reading was agreed to. The General Steam Navigation Bill, and Lumley's Name Bill, were both read a third time. The Reports of the Committee upon the Welland Na vigation Bill and Forest Gaol Bill were laid on the table. The Dublin Cemetery. Bill was read a second time. Upon the motion of Mr. ROCHE, the bill for the drainage and improvement of waste lands in Ireland was read a first time. Sir F. BLAKE presented a petition from the dissenters of Portsmore; in Northumberland, praying for the redress of their grievances.

GLYNNE presented a petition from Rigley, in support of the Established Church. Mr. WILLIAM ROCHE presented a petition from the parish of Ballybriggan, in the county of Limerick, against tithes. Mr. H. HUGHES presented a petition from the parish of St. Peter in .Oxford, against the bill for the admission of Dissenters to the Universities. Mr. POTTER said he could not see how the admission of Dissenters into the two learned universities: would tend to the separation of Church and State. Dissenters were now admitted to seats in the house, and he believed there were, at this time at least 50 Protestant Dissenters there. It surely was of great consequence that the dissenters should be able to give their sons suitable education, as they were eligible to be members of the house. With . the permission of the house he would just mention his own situation ' he had an only son, who he was wishful should have a good education, and receive greater advantages than his father had. He (Mr. Potter) wished to have sent him to Cambridge, but as a Dissenter he could not do so consistently with his principles, for supposing his son was sent there, and had esta blished his title to a degree, before he could talct it he must declare his belief of the doctrines of the Established Church. Now he would be put in a situation to be tempted to abjure his religious belief ; if he had the for titude to withstand such a temptation, he must leave the university in some respect degraded. But this was not all he (Mr. Potter) had to complain of, for the universi ties had actually interfered to prevent a charter being granted to the London University, and Sir C. Wetherall had actually been retained to plead before the privy council against the grant of a charter. Mr. BEAUMONT presented a petition from St. Luke, Norwood, in the diocese of Winchester, in support — of the Established Church. _ _ Mr. MILES presented similar petitions from Allerton, Badgley, Kintore, and ()the': places in the county of Somerset, in support of the Established Church. Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL presented several petitions from parishes in Kent, in support of the church. Mr. FITZSIMON presented a petition from Mary Connelly, residing in the county of Dublin, complaining of vexatious proceedings in the higher courts for the re covery of tithes. Mr. F. O'CONNOR said he was sorry that such oc currences were too- common in Ireland. He knew several instances in which parties were proceeded against for nine pence or a shilling, and the costs amounted to 2/. I7s. Sir H. HARDINGE presented a petition from a pa rish in Kent, in support of the union between church and state. Sir J. ASTLEY presented a petition from Norfolk, in favour of the Islington Market Bill. Sir R. PEEL presented petitions from 100 parishes in Devon, one from St. Giles in the Fields, one from a place in Somerset, in support of the Church, and one from Thos. Powell, a Clergyman in the West Riding of York, to the same effect ; also a petition from Jane Ormsly, widow of the late William Ormsly, praying that the /louse would take her case into consideration. Mr. HODGES presented a petition from Sundridge in support of a State Church. Sir J. TYRRELL presented thirteen petitions from places in the county of Essex to the same effect. Colonel HANDIER presented a similar petition. from Aston Clinton, Bucks. Lord WATERPARK presented seven petitions from parishes in Derby to the same effect.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius before Mr. Baron PARKE and a • Special Jury.) GILES r. SMITH. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS (with whom were Air. LEE and Mr. ALtNsEL) stated that this action was brought to re cover damages for the seizure of plaintiff's furniture, under a Commission of Bankruptcy, to which defendant was assignee. 'ln the year 1831, two ribbon manufacturers in the city, of the names of Wilson and Newark, were'in the habit of accommodating each other with their ac ceptances, and wishing to snake them more negotiable, they asked and obtained the plaintiff's name to several bills, in :all amounting to 1,793/. Those bills were duly honoured by Mr. Newark, but were left in the' hands of Mr. Wilson, who in that year was suspected of forgery on the bank, and found it convenient to run off to America. Before doing so he called upon his brother, George Wilson, and gave into his hands all his documents, among which were the bills in question. He was prepa ring to follow his brother, but before doing so he put those bills in force, and struck a docquet against the plaintiff, who was a very young man, and ruined him in his prospects in life. The plaintiff,:who had not been long married, had spent a large sum of money upon his house, but all was swept away under these most unjust proceedings; for that he hoped that day he would be fully recompensed at the hands of the jury. The learned sergeant put in the warrant and the inventory of the goods, which were sold for 4301. Mr. PoLtoce, for the defendant, took some objections to the action, which were over-ruled by his Lord ship, who reserved them for the consideration of the Court above. The learned gentleman then addressed the jury. He said he trusted to receive a yd.- , diet for his client, for the sake of all those gentlemen who took upon themselves the office of assignee. The facts were these :—There could be doubt that the petition ing creditor had a right to strike the docquet so long as he held the bills which he had got in a legitimate way ; that question had been decided in two other courts, for the laintiff had petitioned the Court of Review, and, after five adjournments, it was dismissed with costs against the bank rupt; an indictment was then taken out in the King's Bench which, when called upon, was abandoned, and a ver di ct o f a .quittal entered, no evidence having been offered. Then comes .that action, and he was almost certain that the plaintiff would not then be More lucky than on former occasions. He would prove that the plaintiff was present when that debt was proved ; he objected to some others, but hisl n as e t v e e x r asmiaidnaatiwo•n ; againstordhe had n thatt got ootn his e ; certificate, had not t p hc az h i t he had applied for it ; he had received his maintenance from the defendant, and for two and a half years he had treated the o commission as a valid one, and it was not till he was fortu nate enough to get acquainted with Mr. Dicas, that he found out he was ill treated. The proceedings under the commission were then put in, and it was proved that the defendant had, in all cases, acted as stated to the jury by Mr. Pollock. Also, that when the dccquet was struck there was an execution in plaintiff's house, and he had given directions for him being denied when any one called for him. Mr. Sergeant BGMPAS was proceeding to call more evidence, to show that the bills were accommodation ones, when our reporter left. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LATEST BETTING IN THE NORTH.
