The Liour ' sals received this morning bring the result of the debate in the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday night, on M. Lacrosse's • amendment, to increase the .navy' estimates three millions of francs, in order to enable the Minister of Marine to keep, en d ibPonibiiite, eight ships of the line and ten frigates. This in. crease, in spite of the opposition Of this Ministry, and of the Budget Committee, vvis carried by a considerable majority. The Republican and Royalist journals are in eestacies. The Quotidienne says :—" All pretext of ratification t f the treaty of 1641 is removed by Saturday's triumph. The Government is armed, and it has in its hands all the means to cause the will of the Chambers and of the country to be respected. The rat ification would now b e an ac t o f treason as well as cowardice." The National revels in the anticipated enjoyment of the rage of the English journals, and of the mortification of the British Govern ment . Th e Odillon Barrot mouthpiece, the gieel e , i s also in the seventh heaven. Never, it alleges, was a Ministry so degraded as to be compelled to have larger sums of money than it asks for to maintain the honour of France, and the dignity and independence of her flag. he Constitutionnel (M. Thiers's organ) observes:—" This result is of the greatest importance, for it is the most signal check that the ultra-pacific policy of the Cabinet can receive. It has rarely been witnessed that a Ministry is obstinate enough to refuse money offered by the Chambers. It is because here the • *lances were not thought of, but England only, who clings so strongly to our disarmment, and who will. be singularly dis pleased by this vote. We praise the Chamber for having com prehended its duty to the country. Its decision is the most significant commentary of its amendment on the Right of earels question." Thu Courrier Francais remarks " that the vote will make S., great noise, as it was the most marked defeat sustained by 'Mt Government this session, and as the appropriate winding tE in o lia f s a four months' discussion on the right of visit. The I t t ri fo w rc is e h s e . d to disarm our naval forces as it has disarmed It had promised this to the Powers, hoping !I.'? conciliate by th a t course t h e goo d gr a c es of the coalition. The Chamber has not ratified this disgraceful engagement, for it has proved that it has thoroughly comprehended the tendency : f its vot e on t h e right of visit, by requiring that France h ould be prepared for all events." Wedo not regret," observes the Presse, the Mote organ," the ktresent that the Minister of Marine has been forced to acceFt. le aught to be delighted, for Admiral Duperre has now more a n'he asked for. Three millions more is perhaps not much, bl n' coming fiom the economical Left party, its generosity must not he declined. We are, however, of the opinion of the Mi niste.r of Finance, that the money would be better there for the • / Pile? 'lel than f or t h e personne l, f or men are t o b e h a d a t t'.. .e 7n ; s;‘gnal, but stores not quite so easy. Nevertheless, it is always .otnething gained when the Left begins to be less Parsi nwi ii I The Journal des Debats also approves of the increase. " The antendinent," it says. " means that the fleet is to be reduced as little as ,I.ossible. We have no objection to this wish of the Chamber to maintain our naval armaments. The Opposition is at libea-ty to see in this vote a cheek of the Cabinet, and a small success for itself, and to claim all the honours of the sit ting, as it did at the time of the memorable vote on the Right of Search amendment of M. Lefebvre. We shall not humble its last triumph ; we only wish it may never gain any greater one." The Moniteur contains the following notice :—" Difficulties • Which have arisen between the kingdom of the Two Sicilies en One part, and those of Belgium and Holland on the other, having assumed a serious character, the Neapolitan Govern ment consid ers it necessary to appr i se a ll merc h an t s a nd ship 4).whers that they may take such 1 recautions as prudence shall aut.zge,t. The Minister for Foreign Affairs apprises all Am hassadors and Foreign Ministei sof this fact, in order that they randy have no cause of complaint through ignorance of any con a.equences to the commercial interests of those nations which they represent." There was a report in Paris on Sunday, that three emissaries 01 Secret S oc i e ti es h a d b een di scovere d an d arreste d i n t h e tie.'phbourhood of the Chateau de Bizy, where the King was re , i , 'Log. Several arrests in Paris were also said to have been road, , It is to be premised, however, that divers alarming repor ts, all false, were lately circulated, such as that the King had b, ten shot at Neuilly, &c. The King and Queen returned to Neuilly, from their jour- Leyto the Chateau of Bi zy , on S atur d ay evening. "'Their Majesties," says the Moniteur, were received everywhere on ' the road with spontaneous demLnstrations of loyalty and lively acclamations." P./132LTAIKENTARY. ThE Earl of Gtengall brought under the notice of the Lords the disturbed state of Tipperary, by moving for returns of all rewards offered for the apprehension of criminals. A short discussion took place on the Jurisdiction of Justices 13 ill, which was read a second time. A wish was very generally expres.led on the occasion, that a stipendary and !earnest gentle man should be placed at the head o f ever y C ourt o f Quarter Sessions. What are the great unpaid come too ? The flows of the diabolical attempt on her Majesty's life, caused their Lordships to break up in a hucry. Mr. Hawes, the Chairman of the Lyme Regis Committee, . reported that William Penney, Esq., was not, and Thomas iluasey. Esq., was. duly elected Member for Lyme Regis. On the 7th of June, Mr. Wallace is to move for all the correspondence between the Home-office and the Magistrates .of Renfrewshire, relative to the distress at Paisley. A noisy discussion took place on Mr, T. Duncombe present inc. a petition from Mr. Wrenn, prayirg for further inquiry into the bribery at Southampton, and moving that the petition b e p,-inted. Mr. Fleming, the Member for Southampton, read some " 4 11 . „letter fb: ackening Mr. Wredn's character, describing him as a per son not worthy of belief, which occasioned the retort that he vas a foremost agent of the Tory party. Several interruptions and calls to order enlivened the short debate. The petition Vas ordered to be printed. Mr. Wrenn promises a whole heap 1 11 A.xposure, and we cannot be surprised, therefore, at the dis ti.. ilit 14,te of the ories to have the petition printed, and the subj ec t • Iv• , farther inv T estig.ated. "ti, Mr. Roebuck carried his Indemnity Bill through a Corn. On the order of the day for the third reading of the Property :. Rill being read, Mr. Sharman Crawford moved as an "(Itnent a resolution, that the House, not representing the vi ought not to impose taxes on them. 'e, ought supported the motion, and adverted to the lirs t i .

Th PUBL,XC OPINION. 1 41 4 ; leadin e articles of th e Morning Jcurnals are all on the Itls'iL t t of the . infamoas attack- made yesterday on the life of her which public opinion is of coarse unanimous. The tll 5 says; Among the var.kous reports that are given upon tol; 4 °.iset, it was not for some t Wise decided whether the pis uent off, as we now find it did. The one great Rat e hos-sever about which all Englishmen must feel, the I t -est happilyclear—that the Queen herself Ite t4 ' ir iu ' t n ed xl"t e ls are trufy glad to find—what, indeed, hietuuld never have doubt ed—the zeal and anxiety with for. ,an assurance to this effect was everywhere sought tal ler 4,1 th e Houses of Lords and Commons, as on the spot a nd L t his wretched man made his attempt, the earnest the feeling which was elicited was such as to satisfy laj of the most enthusiastically loyal of her this }''s subjects. We cannot for :us instant suppose that ayd talserable attempt is anything e'se than the wild ' or, catis e l ess act of another lunat i cs It i s impossible— bit : t t jeast, al most i ncre dibly monstrous— that any one who is eri sn s e ' of his own mind can have found motive for su.ch toe For personal motives there is ner room ; and as ones, we are certainly far wrong in our estimate of t ouse' much more of English, character, ir men are to he a ; 4l( lng us so transported by the little animosities of poll ks oh — to harbour murderous designs against such a Sovereign her „ 4.

It is, however, the duty of those th e aye her Majesty's safety under their charge to investigate • her e t e r as closely as if there existed no such prima facie Tigibility as we suppose." fif e nee following is from the Post :—" The attack upon the 1144, 1 _ h Majesty. which excited last evening, throughout the ,l the one universal sentimesit of horror and indignation, slitiatise a similar feeling in every part of the country.

MONEY—Tit/I.= —COWL/VIERCM. The South Shields ship-owners have signed a memorial to the Privy Council against the new duty of four shillings a ton on coal exported abroad, whether shipped in nri fish or foreign vessels; and stating that the indiscriminate leVy of such a duty will have the effect of transferring a lar g e portion of our home trade from the hands of th e present coal owners. Sir Allan N. .M•Nah, Dr. Thomas Rolph, and Mr. R. Brown arrived in Glasgow at the close of the last week, as a deputation to bring the subject of emigration under the con sideration of the inhabitants of that city and its vicinity. A meeting on the subject was held on Tuesday last in Edinburgh, and on Friday a similar meeting is to take place. ELECTIONEERING. The Election Committee for the borough of Lyme Regis, after a protracted inquiry, which has lasted for twenty days, terminated yesterday, when Mr. Hussey was declared the sitting Member. Mr. Robert Bateson has been elected for Derry without op position, in the room of Sir Robert Bateson. LAW AND PO LICE. Eleven desperaTeEtWggshavejtiiiWer7eaptured at Bath, after an attempt on a private house. They have long been a terror to the neighbourhood. /ATI:MAIM AND SCIENTIFIC. Dr. Paverne's invention is likely to prove of importance to a great naval country like England, as he considers that he can by his process redder rest ration easy for three hours, and sup port any number of men in deep water : it is likely therefore to prove invaluable in the examination of the bottoms of ship, foundations of piers or bridges, &c. THEATRICAL. The English Opera House is displaying itself in the appear ance of Harley, Mrs. Humby, and Miss Faucit. The latter lady last night played the principal character in One Fault, a piece in which Miss Ellen Tree used to act very finely at the theatre in Milton-street. SPORTING. The sale of the hunting-stud of the Earl of Rosslyn took place at Tattersall's yesterday. Lord Rosslyn's horses were the private property of his Lordship, who is Master of the Staghounds, and which were well known with her Majesty's hounds : of these Moonlight fetched 125 guineas, and Twilight 150 guineas. Lord Cassilis's horses, which have been hunted with the Pytchley hoUnds, were put up to sale at the same time, and fetched fair prices : among them Grasshopper was knocked down at 115 guineas, and Embassy at 58 guineas. COMA 7 1 -I".a.SiIIONAMZE. The Earl and Countesi of Shrew bury are daily expected at Alivart's Hotel, from Paris, on their return front Italy. His• Excellency Count Alensdorf andlis sons, attended by Colonel Wylde, visited the Tower yesterday morning, and also inspected St. Katherine's Docks. Lady Sondes gave a splendid ball at her mansion in St. James's-square last night. The rooms were crowded with thu elite. Prince Dolgowroky left Mivait's Hotel yesterday afternoon for St. Petersburgh. , The Prince has made extensive purchases of British manufactures during his brief visit to this country. The Duke and Duchess of Leeds, Baron Van Heckeren and family, and General Ellice and family, left town on Sunday morning, for Rotterdam. 'I he Lord Chancellor has issued cards for a grand dinner to morrow, in George-street, Hanover• square. MISCELLANEOUS. A gas explosion took placo in the interior of the Oriental Club House, Hanover-square, on Saturday afternoon, by which damage to the extent of 1001. was done, and Weaver, the porter, dangerously burnt. The state apartments of Windsor Castle will be closed to morrow, in consequence of some alterations which are about to be made. On Sunday 6,921 persons landed from the steamers al Chelsea, and 4,162 at Putney. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER' TO THREE. As might have been expected, the greatest excitement and indignation at the event of last evening exists in the City to day, and but one feeling of sorrow at the disgrace which it h as brought upon the co un t r y i s visible. Some fear was expressed at the early part of the morning that it might be the result of a conspiracy, and in consequence the Funds gave way ; but since t4en confidence has been restored, by the certainty that no one but a maniac could have been guilty of the crime, and Consols are 92 3 921 for Money, and 93* 93,3 for the opening.

Money has been in great demand, and 5 per cent. has been paid for it in the English Market ; while, in the documents named immediately above, the rates vary from 8 to 10 per cent. An estimate appears in one of the American papers, of the loss which has been sustained by the holders of various securi ties issued by portions of that country; and, by four items only, the amount is calculated at 326,936,000 dollars, or nearly 80,000,0001. sterling. This is altogether exclusive of the numerous failures of mercantile houses, which may rea sonably be set down at 8,000,0001. more; and more than two thirds of the whole has been borne by this country. The decline on the current rates of Indiana and Illinois Bonds, from August 1841, to the present time, has been from 60 per cent., to 17 and 18. These calculations arrive very opportunely at the period when every probability exists that great efforts will be made to induce European capitalists to subscribe for the new State Loan, the endeavours ro raise which in the country itself, have hitherto utterly failed. It has been acknowledged that "the immense number of mer cantile failures, and the curtailment of dividends have checked the accumulation of capital • at the same time p r i ces o f a ll de scriptions of goods have fallen so low, that the floating capital which remains finds a more profitable investment than even seven per cent. Government Stocks ; these com bined have operated powerfully to prevent investments in the new loans created." The excess r f expenditure being ten millions of dollars annually, it is evident that money must somehow be procured, and it is doubtless the policy to raise it if possible, abroad; and the germ of a national debt being thus formed, it may be extended to an indefinite amount, for which no adequate security can be given, while parties in Congress are so divided on the plan by which the interest is to be provided lir as they are at present.

On that night having closed the 'shop, 'he went home to bed as usual, and the next morning he again proceeded to the snuff shop, and remained there until his fellow lodger had gone to work, and he was then seen to go up into his room, and . remain there - a short time, when he again left the house. Upon the young man, Elam, return ing, he found that his box had been broken open, and that five pounds ten shillings in gold had been stolen. He immediately gave information to Mr. Foster, his landlord, who at once proceeded to the snuf7-shop in Mortimer-street, where he found the prisoner sitting, in a most unconcerned manner, behind the counter. He immediately said to him, " What have you been _ about ? I suppose you knoW what I have come here for ?" The prisoner immediately replied, " Oh, I suppose you want the money ;" and he directly pulled out the gold, and gave it to Mr. Foster, who then told him, not to enter his house any more. The prisoner expressed some anxiety about his boxes, and said he supposed Mr. Foster would not object to letting him have them. Mr. Foster, suspecting from the discovery that had been made that the prisoner might have committed -some other depredations that: would be discovered by searching his boxes, determined upon retaining possession of them ; and he told him that he would take care of them for him, but that he should not have :possession of them for the present, and he went . away. It appears that on this same day the per sons of whom the prisoner had purchased the articles to stock his shop, and to whom he had promised immediate payment, came to him and insisted upon receiving the amount, of their goods. He told them he was unable to pay them, and they insisted upon having back their property, and the whole of the goods were accordingly removed, and the shop cleared. This occurred in the latter part of the day, and about dusk on Friday the prisoner shut up the shop and was seen to walk away. He then, it appears, not having the opportunity, for the reason above stated, of going to his own lodging, proceeded to a coffee-shop at the end of Oxford-street, where'. he hired a room, and where he remained unt the Monday, when the desperate act was com mitted. It has been already stated that the police obtained access to his apartment in Titchfield-street, and that they searched his boxes, but although for the sake of establishing the identity of the accused, it was deemed advisable that they should be taken charge of by the police, we are enabled to state that there was nothing at all suspicials discovered in his boxes, and the contents were merely dirty linen and some scraps of poetry, and other writings of no im portance, and nothing of a political tendency was discovered. The conduct of the prisoner on entering the snuff-shop was looked upon by the I)ersons who knew him, as a very singular proceeding, as it was known that he had not the slightest knowledge of that business, and was entirely without means to carry it on ; and it is supposed that being pressed for the money by the parties of whom he had obtained the-goods, he was induced on the Friday morning to steal the money'of his companion under the circum- stances above described. Since the remand of the prisoner, it has been satis factorily ascertained that the pistol actually exploded, and a search has this morning been made, in ordext to endeavour to discover the bullet, if possible ; but as yet the result of the search has not been made known. As in the case of Oxford, the overt act of treason, being a direct attaek upon the life of her Majesty, the ordinary forms in cases of high treason will not apply, and the culprit will be tried in the ordinary form. If the pistol had not exploded, the offence of attempting to shoot, supposing the weapon to have been loaded, Is one of equal magnitude as if it had been actually discharged, and the circumstance of the failure to ex- UE EN'S LIFE. LATEST PARTICULARS. (Tills DAY.) The name of the assassin is John Francis, and the following is the description of his personal appearance : He is about five feet six inches in height, rather stout, but exceedingly well proportioned, dark complexion, small black whiskers, dark, sparkling, and rather ex pressive eyes, and his countenance and general appear ance are handsome and prepossessing. He wag dressed in a black dress coat, black waistcoat, and dark mixture trousers. After he was conveyed to Tothill-fields Bridewell last evening, he was sullen and silent, refusing to enter into conversation ; in deed Lieutenant Tracy, the Governor, very properly abstained himself from questioning the prisoner, and gave strict orders. that others should be prevented from doing so. At a quarter before twelve this morning the pi-l one?, accompanied by Lieutenant Tracy, the Gover nor' of Tothill-fields, and guarded by two of the wardsmen of the prison, was taken in a hackney- coalb to the Home-office. The coach drove up to the principal entrance in Whitehall, and Lieutenant Tracy having alighted, and ascertained that all was prepared for the prisoner's reception, gave a sig;ial, when the prisoner, in custody of the two wardsm , m, who each held him by an elbow, alighted from the coach and was conveyed up the stairs of the .Home office to the Council Chamber. We attempted to gain admittance, but were refused by the police of the A division, who were stationed, in the lobby o f the Home-office, and who stated that their orders were imperative to refuse admission to all except Members of the Privy Council, witnesses, and those immedi ately concerned in the examination. Strict orders had also been given to afford no information whatever on the subject. As early as ten o'clock the witnesses against tile prisoner began to assemble at the Home-office, an d were accomodated with seats in the lobby. At the time of the prisoner's arrival there must have beer at least twenty waiting in the lobby ; among them was the soldier in the Scotch Fusilier Guards, who arrested the prisoner. The prisoner cast a hasty, unconcerned glance round the lobby as he was being conveyed to the stairs. He looked well, and did not appear in the least haggard or care-worn as he was reported to have looked when taken into custody last evening. In deed, a spectator who had been ignorant of the cir cumstances of the case, would never have iriagined that in the handsoMe. intelligent looking youth before him, he beheld a traitor, and all but a regicide. It had evidently not been expected that the exa mination would take place at so early an hour, for there were not ten persons at the door of the Home office at the time of the prisoner's arrival. A crowd, however, soon collected, the arrival of the Ministers and the other authorities having given notice that the examination was about to commence. Mr. Hall, the Chief Magistrate of Bow-street, ' ac companied by Mr. Burnaby, his clerk, had been in attendance at the Home-office from a very early hour At about twelve o'clock, the Attorney-General, ao companied by Mr. Maule, the solicitor to the Trea sury, arrived at the Home• office, and the crowd began now rapidly to collect. Among the members of the Privy Council who ar- - rived. by the principal entrance in Whitehall, we oh-, served the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Earl of Ripon, the Earl of Jersey, the Duke of Buccleuch, and Lord Wharncliffe. The Solicitor-General arrived shortly after twelve o'clock. Sir James Graham had been in attendance at an early hour in the morning, and Sir Robert Peel, as we understand, had been early at the Treasury, and passsed into the Home-office: by the private entrance leading to the Treasury. The Duke of Wellington arrived on horseback at about ten minutes after twelve. The crowd immediately divided a line for his Grace to approach the door, and all present took off their hats. The Duke acknowledged the compliment, with which he seemed to be much pleased. The Earl of Aberdeen, the Lord Chancellor, and Colonel Wylde, Equerry to his Royal Highness Prim* Al bert, arrived shortly afterwards. At half-past twelve o'clock, the Cabinet Minister, having arrived, the prisoner was taken before the Council, and the examination commenced. The Council chamber looks into the Park. It i s the room on the second floor, whichis lighted 1 ... y three French Windows, reaching to the floor. An ex - gellent view of the assembled Council was obtained frcni' the parade in the Park, fronting the Horse Guards, which was crowded with spectators. Mr. Maule, :the Solicitor to the Treasury, was seated in the recc ss formed by the windows and was busily engaged in taking notes of the proceedings. We understand that the pistol was actually dis charged, and that when the prisoner was taken the barrel was discovered to be warm and fouled, exhibiting every appearanc e o f h av i ng b een recent l y discharged. The lodgings occupied by the prisoner have been searched, but nothing suspicious has been discovered. The Police of the A division distinctly stated that no reporters would be admitted even into the lob--y -of the Home-office. The conduct of the authorities was polite in the extreme, and the sentinels who were on duty up to a quarter after twelve, also performed their duty with great forbearance, but yet with ex cellent effect. At that hour, however, the sentinels were changed, and the one stationed at the door of the Home-office (a tall, stupid-looking fellow, with a long nose, the redness of which, emulating th 9 colour of his coat, betokened that the, man behind it was better acquainted with the smell of gin than of gunpowder) waxed valiant, and com menced treading on the toes of one the bystanders ; instead Qf remonstrating, the gentleman thus assaulted lau,ghed at the fellow's impertinence, observing that he should as soon think of reasoning with a loco motive, or any other piece of mere machinery, as with such a mere soldier as the sentinel who ha: thus exhibited his Jack-in-office propensities. This . . had the effect of raising a loud laugh among the crowd, at the expense of the officious sentinel who seemed heartily ashamed of his conduct, and from that time did his duty temperately, and therefore effectively. The sentinel in question belonged to the Grenadier Guards. The neighbourhood 'a Buckingham Palace has been crowded the whole day by persons anxious to ascer tain that the "Queen had not suffered from the fright. As early r,s ten o'clock several persons had inserted their names in the book at the Palace-lodge, as having called to make inquiries after her Ma,esty's health. We are happrin being able to state that her Ma jesty has sufiVretr no ill effects whatever from 'the alarm occasioned ty the diabolical attempt of the assassin. The following particulars have been obtained by one of our Correspondents, and their authenticity may be completely relied upon : The prisoner's real mime is John Francis, and he is about twenty-five years of age. On the 14th of January. last he engaged the second floor back room at the house of Mr. Foster, a respectable master tailor, residing at 105, Great Titchfield-street, Mary lebone, and he occupied that room with another young man, named William Elam, and they jointly paid the rent. 'The prisoner was considered a good tempered inoffensive young • man, and came home regularly to hip meals, and was never out late at Ones.pctson, of a rather superior class of so ciety, from his dress and general appearance., has lat terly been, in the habit of visiting him, and remained for ; some time alone with him in his room ; but no parcels were ever sent to him, as ap peared from very particular inquiry made upon this subject by the police. During the last few weeks the prisoner has been backward in paying his r. it, but' Mr. Foster; from his good opinion.of him, did not press him upon the subject, and on Saturday last the arrears amounted to 1/. 14s. The prisoner's conduct during the last few days ap pears to have been most extraordinary. He had all along been getting his livelihood by working as a jour neyman carpenter, but on Monday week he engaged a shot • and parlour, at 63, Mortimer- street, which adjoins Great Titchfield-street, at the weekly rent of twenty-four shillings, and expressed his intention to. in the trade of a tobacconist.

Wakley, M.P., Coroner, and a respectable Jury, at the Pembroke Arms Tavern, Pembroke square, Kensington, on view of the body of George Chalk, a bey not yet eleven years of age, who hung himself on Wednes day. It appeare I that the father of the deceased, who is a carter in the employ of Messrs. Bird, the builders, of Kensing ton, lived in Earl .street. On the afternoon of Wednesday, the deceased, who was a boy of a morose and sullen temper, and who had been suspended from the National school, in consequence of his mischievous and obstinate disposition, was sent, accom panied by his sister, on an errand for his mother, and on the way, his sister remonstrating at his stayin g to play, he beat her vio lently. When he returned home his mother punished him far his improper condur,t, by ordering. him to pull off his shoes and go into the bed-room, which he did. He was soon called out by his mother, to assist her in some little matters, at which time he appeared in his usual bYriod spirits. When lea w as rea d y hi s mother went to the bed-room door to call the deceased, but receiving no answer she opened the door and went in, when she was horror-,truck at finding her unfortunate son suspended from the bedstead, by a line scarcely thicker than strong packthread, and although his knees were on the bed, life was found to be quite extinct. Mr. Wakley expressed his astonishment at the extraordinary formation of the head, and said he had in two other cases only seen such an enormous developement of the organ of destructiveness. One was the case of a - child not seven years of age, who, being corrected, said, " I'll go, and make a hole is the water, and not enter the house again," and her body was soon alter taken out of the canal near Worm wood Scrubs, and the other of a pot-boy at the Eight Bells public-house, Chelsea, not thirteen years old, whose greatest (ANOTHER ACCOUNT.) delight was in torturing animals, and who would purchase from DESCRIPTION OF THE PRISONER, other boys birds, rats, and mice, in order to gloat over their _dying throes and kicks, and who finished his career by hanging The prisoner, John Francis, is the son of a respect- hunself.—Verdict, " Temporary Insanity." able man of that name, living in Tottenham -court- BRANDING DESERTERS.

(FURTHER PARTICULARS.) HOME OFFICE, Three o'clock. The prisoner, Francis, is still under examination, and there is every probability that the proceedings will last for some time longer. Shortly after two o'clock the prisoner was ordered to withdraw from the Council Chamber, and the Council remained in deliberation for about a quarter of an hour. At the expiration of that time the prisoner was again called in, and the Council proceeded to hear the evi dence of Allen, the soldier in the Scotch Fusilier Guards, who arrested him.) The prisoner's father is in attendance at the Home office. Among the witnesses waiting to be examined, is Mr. Smith, the gunsmith, of Bridge-street, of whom it is said the prisoner purchased the pistol with which he made his diabolical attempt. sion, on duty .on Constitution -hill, had, about a guar -ter of an hour prior to the occurrence, noticed the pri soner leaning on the pump, and was persuaded, by the somewhat strange behaviour of the prisoner, to watch him, it being his (the co n s t a bl e ' s ) opinion, that he in-: tended to destroy himself. As the Queen's carriage was cominginjhe direction of the Palace from Hyde park, the conitable noticed. the prisoner vacate his , pok and 'fumble in his pockets. He (the constable) Hastened. towards him, having . a presentiment that something was about to happen, and when within ten yards of him the villain fired a pistol in the direction of the Royal carriage. The policeman immediately; seized him, and was assisted almost immediately after wards by a soldier. He was then, as we have before stated, hurried off to the Palace, where he was searched, and all that was found was a Tian , loose powder i n one of his waistcoat pockets. The pistol is a small and common one, with a flint lock ; it was examined and declared by several competent judges to have been recently discharged, and th e i r belief was th a t it h a d b een l oa d ed with slugs.

The defendant's in this case were the proprietors of a ferry crossing the Mersey. near Liverpool ; and the plain tiffs • were parties who had engaged with the defendants to' have a carriage conveyed by the ferry across the river,. In the box of the carriage there were a quantity of watches, which were broken durin g the passage.

Mr. PitEtibEr.cAsr applied to the Court fur a certiorari, to remove an indictment for a misdemeanour from the Middlesex sessions. The grounds for the application were, that by the Act of Parliament commonly called Hobhs,use's Act, it was made a misdemeanour in the overseer or churchwarden not to call a meeting of the ratepayers to consider certain matters. The churchwardens refused to call the meeting, havinr, acted under legal ad v i ce , t h at t h e A ct did not extend to the' parish of Christ Church, in Middlesex. The question involved some grave points of law.—Application granted. INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY IN RE EMANUEL LAZARUS. The insolvent in this case was a merchant and trader be tween the port of Liverpool and America, and also carrying un general business in Cutler-street, in the City. His petition to be discharged was opposed by Mr. Cooke. The LEARNED COUNSEL. said be appeared on behalf of the detaining creditor. In the year 1839 the insolvent had re ceived a quantity of goods from several persons, amongst which were hardware, from Messrs. blight, of Sheffield, to the amount of 500/.; cloths, &c., from %ir. beillie, of Manches ter, for 1,2001. ; -and other sums to a large amount, soon after which he started for America, and during hisaloence, the credi tors struck a docket of bankruptcy against him ; and on his return about too , years since he succeeded is passing his final examination. Two debts were contracted, one on a promissory note with a person named Myers, and a second with Mr. Mears, a looking-glass manufacturer, from whom he got a quantity of goods on condition of paying ready money, but having been left at the insolvent's house in Cutler -street, they were removed almost immediately afterwards, when Mears went to a tavern where the insolvent was, and was sent for a receipt-stamp to be paid, but upon his return with it the in solvent was gone, and was never seen again until after his re turn frOm America. Mr. WoonRUFFE appeared in support of the insolveat's peti tion, and subjected him to a lengthened examination, in which he attempted to cast imputations upon the character of the de taining creditor. After the Learned Counsel had addressed the Court, 4 Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS said the Court was of opinion that the case, in its present state, could be proceeded no fu r th er with. It was ther e f ore ordered that it stand further adjourned until a fresh debtor and creditor account was furnished, com mencing six months prior to, and ending in the month of March, 1839. He would, however, say that sufficient had transpired with respect to the transaction of the insolvent with Mr. Mears, to state that it was one which there could be no doubt came under the discretionary clause of the Act. The insolvent was then removed to prison. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,. BO W-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Two gentlemanly-looking young men, named Walter and Da niel Henessy, where charged by Mr. Crouch, with committing a violent and unprovoked assault upon him last night. It appeared that the complainant and the defendants had been intimate acquaintances for some years, and had, till the present time, always been good friends, but that whilst going home over Waterloo Bridge last night, they commenced a frolic, and the assault complained of ensued. • The prisowers stated that they had received provocation which induced them to commit the assault with which they were charged They expressed their sorrow for their conduct and their willingness to apologise to Mr. Crouch. Mr. JA RDINE suggested a reconciliation, but the complain and was inexorable; he said he had a position in society to maintain, and must show cause for being away train business. He demanded justice, too, upon public grounds. Mr. JA ant NE said, if he must act as a Magistrate he would do so ; the assault appeared to be of greater magnitude than the provocation would justify ; he should fiLe them each N. CLERKENWLLI4.,-(Tliis DAY.) An Irishman, named Flanagan, was charged with a violent assault. It appeared that yesterday evening the prisoner and his wife, after returning to their home in St. Giles's, quarrelled about some trifle. A man who was present took the woman's part, which so enragel the prisoner that he seized a cleaver and aimed a blow at his wife's head, which would doubtless have proved fatal had she not received it on her arm : it severed the flesh to the bone. She soon fainted from less of blood, and was conveyed to the hospital. A policemen went to ascertiii her condition, to whom she expressed her deter mination not to prosecute, whatever the result might be. He was in consequence discharged.

The road, it being the cvet.ing of the Derby -day, was very much crowded, and the witness saw a young man, named Coulson, coming towards London on • horseback, and galloping at the rate of between twelve and thirteen miles an hour. Coulson had hold of the reins, but was leaning forwards on the horse in a sprawling .manner. Witness saw that deceased was in danger, and called to him, bat he did not hear, and the horse's chest ran against him and knocked him down, and the animal's hind hoof trod upon deceased's shoulder. 'lle witness stopped the horse, and gave Coulson into the custody of the police. Caul son was the worse for liquor at the time, and the horse ap t-tared very much fatigued. At the Police Court Coylsun - 'denied that he was in liquor, - and stated that he tried all he could to curb the horse, but the animal got the better of him as he was coming from Epsom Races. Mr. H.

N*' - 15 FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. A. journal of the island of Bourbon of the 9th Februareagives the following. news • from ths French esteblislanent lately formed at Nosse-Be, in the island ot? Madagascar:--" A. pereOtt of considerable inftire -- enee amonest the Sakelavas, at Nosse-Be, named aleagala, had, for sometime, delivered himself up to ro)hery, to the prejudice of the .other tithes of the and - even of the Malgachos of the main land. Oti the arrival of the French at. Mangala received them most cordially in the hope of continuing his depredations under their patronage. But he soon perceived that the French authoriti es d es i re d to play the part of prutectoss to all the Nlalgaches tribes, and he met with a determined opposition to his course of p:under. At last, after a robbery which he had com mitted, M. Gouliot, the caininandant of the French colony, went to arrest him, but he escaped, and, for sonic time, was no more heard of. Intelligence was brought some time after that he had returned, and was, at that menent, holding a lather, or council at the habitation of the Queen of the Sakalevas, with the design of :revolutionizing all the tribes of the island, and of driving out the french. M. Gouhot took a few men, and proceeded to effect his arrest. Ile was armed, and nearly a hundred men with him. In place of giving himself up, he shouted his war-cry, and at tacked the little body of French. After an obstinate struggle; Mangala fled with his collar-bone fractured, and after having lost some of his men." On Tuesday last the small town of Berus, in the Sarthe, was the theatre of an awful spectacle. At the sitting of the Court of Assizes for the department on Match 14, four men—Louvard, •Drans, and Chambrier—were convicted of the threeibld crime of arson, robbery, and murder. The first two were eon demned.to hard labour' at the Ithlks for life, and the remaining two to death. The Court .ferther ordered that Louvard and Bellant should stand ou,the and Drans and Chambrier be executed at Beres where their crime s were consummated. Early in the morning the scaffold and the pillory were erected Within afew paces of each other. An assemblage of from 12,000 to 15,000 people gathered, from all the surrounding country, round these preparations for the exhibition of shame and ignominious death, and, note withstanding their appearance in the centre, the scene assumed all the aspect of a fair.. _Booths were raised—tables were spread —tons of cider were broached—and even games were set up. It required all the firmness of the Magistrates, supported by the gendarnies, and a detachment of troops, tt, prevent still more scandalous proceedings. At eight o'clock, Louvard and Belland were fastened in the pillory, so placed that they could see the house of their vic tim, and Louvard that in which he had himself lived. He appeared to be much overcome, but - Belland dis played a disgusting effrontery in both gesture and language. Having stood their time they were re moved. About twelve o'clock Drans and Chanderier arrived in a post-chaise, under a strong escort. They were accompanied by a young priest, who, with much force, but mildness, endeavoured to bring the crowd to a state more suited to the scene they were about to witness, and then turned to the immediate objects of his care. Chambrier was resigned to his fate, and in a moment expiated his offences. - Drans, however, was in a most pitiable condition. A livid paleness overspread his countenance, and his limbs trembled so convulsively that it required three men to carry him up to the platform of the guillotine. In a few mi nutes afterwards the two severed bodies were lying to gether in one grave in an obscure corner of the ceme tery of Items. The crowd, so thoughtless and even licentious in the morning, overcome by the sad tragedy they had witnessed, separated in solemn silence. A letter from Naples says—" The project of a rail road from this city to Rome has received the approba tion of the Holy See. It is said that Naplee is to un dertake the whole work at her own expense, and that Rome will repay her share by annual payments. A railroad from Rome to Florence is spoken off` as certain." The Helvetie states that a young peasant of the Valois was a few days ago, whilst sitting in a field eating his dinner, bitten by a viper, and that the erft-et of the poison was so rapid that he died in two hours. A scientific commission is said to be preparing to. start from Toulon to Asia Minor to make researches.. The Gazette des Tribunaux has the following " A young woman, who had lived several months • as servant with a new-married couple, had, by her mild and respectful manners and assiduity, entirely gained their confidence, and made them treat her as a humble friend. At length several articles of value. disappeared. It was difficult for the master and tress to suspect their servant, in whom they f le a so much confidence, but at last circumstances convinced . them that she must be the thief, and they taxed her with the crime. She displayed the utmost indigna tion, gave them warning, and spontaneeusly (leaked that every searely should be made among h-4.71. Wags. This was dont ; but while her boxes and the closets. in her room were being examined, anti in which, in fact, some of the missing articles were found, the girl got out of the room, hastened up to a higher storey, and threw hers e lf out o f a window into the street.. The consequences were dreadful. She was taken - op with both her arms and her skull fractured, and her chest dreadfully crushed. She expired in a vary f ew minutes. Her mistress was so overcome by the dreadful catastrophe, that she has ever time remained inconsolable, accusing herself of belneg the cause." The Assembly of the States of Baden was opened the 23d inst. by the Minister of the Interior, in the name of the Grand Duke. In the opening speech the Minister announced that the States would be eallcel on to deliberate on a Bill for prolonging the railroad to the Swiss frontier. The Budget would afiterwards be laid before them, the other Bills being reserved for the next ordinary Diet. The first sitting was to take place the following day. A letter from Beyrout, 80th lat., in the Suei of Marseilles, states that the Druee Chiefs, who were ar rested, are still in prison, and that the Christianraiefa, who ha been invited by Mustapha Pacha to attend a general assembly at Beyrout, had from mistrust re fused to comply with the invitation. The letter adds, that Mustaillse Pacha had received orders from the Porte to abolish the protection which the European Consuls have hitherto been permitted to exercise In favour of certain rayas. M. Kindt, the Belgian Commissioner in the nego tiations between France and Belgium fora treaty of commerce, returned to Brussels some time ago. A letter from that city states that his object in quitting Paris was partly to confer with the Gover nment, an d partly to as cer t a i n f rom the nrincipal manufacturens of Belgium . their views as to the concessions which the French Government appears disposed to make. The King of Prussia has returned . ; to Berlin, from Schwerin. The Princess of' Orange arrived at Stutgardt on the 20th inst., on a visit to the Royal Family. Akif-Effendi, the Turkish Ambassador to the Court of Vienna, had an audience of the Emperor on the 18th inst., at which he delivered his letters •f credence. Ali-Effendi, the Turkish Ambassador to England, qnitted Vienna on the 16th on his way tot London. A Smyrna journal states that, on the sth ult., a trading brig from Franco, called the Petit Matelot, was attacked while lying at anchor, at a port on the Greek coast, by a pirate's boat, containing twelve men ; but the Captain of the brig, being upon the alert, was able to defend his vesel until ho received assiskince from Captain Cavier, of the schooner Sainte-Claire, which was moored at a short distance from him. The pirates, intimidated by the unex pected resistance, rowed off,' and gained the open sea, not venturing to renew the attempt. The French Consul at Smyrna, on receiving the intelligence, made arrangements to send off a vessel-of-war in search of the pirates. A butcher of Besancon has just been condeinned to three months' imprisonment, by the Correctional Tribunal, for selling the flesh , of dogs as for that of the kid. Three days ago a woman, in charge of the two .young children of a neighbour in one of the suburbs of Orleans, suddenly perceived them both in danger of being run over by a diligence coming at a rapid pace down time street. Although she had an iufinit of her own in her .arms, she rushed forward to save them. She succeeded in getting one out of the way, but at the same moment saw the head of the other crushel under the wheel. The shock was so great that she fell senseless, dropping her own child, which was so much hurt internally that there were but little hopes of saving its life. The mother became frantic, from the frightful effects of the accident, and has re mained bereft of her reason. We find the following in the Commerce T--, a rich capitalist of Paris, paid for some years a high rent for an apartment which was almost useless( to him, as he resided habitually in a country-house with his wife. This gentleman (lied suddenly not long ago, leaving a will, which declared Iris wif e t o be sole possessor of his fortune. Atw dys back she came to Paris, and, finding herself chilly and unwell, ordered a fire to be made in the bed-room of her late husband's apartment. This was done, but the smoke, in place of going up the chimney, returned and fieled the room. A fumiste was sent for to remedy the evil, and he immediately proceeded to examine time phee of the chimney. lie found that, some little way up, above b u lk was placed whiCh impeded the passage of the smoke. This, when got down, was discovered to be a heavy leather valise, and was found to contain about 20,000 francs in old gold pieces of .24 and 48 franc*, as well. as a quantity of unset jewels. This piece of goc4 for tune is likely to be the cause of a law-suit, as the fumiste claims half the amount, in consequence of having made the discovery ; the landlord demands the other part, as the treasure was found on his premises; and Madame T declares she has a right to all, as universal l egatee. It is said that the Tribunal of Premiere Instance of the Seine will soon decide on. these respective claims."
