LISBON PAPERS. Ltssox, Nov. 17.—Her most Faithful Majesty and their Imperial Majesties, arrived yesterday in good health at the Royal Palace of Mafia. They are viewing with great attention the curiosities and fine works of art in the church, the palace, and the dependencies of that sump tuous and magnificent edifice. The Chronica of the 19th, contains notices from the Corregidor' of Alcobaca, dated the 16tli, stating that the inhabitants of that district hid generally acknowledged the legitimate Government; that they remained tranquil, giving decisive proofs of their attachment to the Charter, willingly performing the extraordinary services which cir cumstances require, and organizing a moveable battalion, which already consists of above 400 men. Also, from the Jaiges de Fora, of Riha Tejo Villa Franca, Alhandea Alenaquer, and Alde-gallegn, all of the 17th, stating that the inhabitants were tranquil and at tached to the Queen's Government and the Charter. A despatch from the Corregidor of the district of Setubal, of the 17th says, that tranquillity still prevailed in that town ; that the line of defence was in a most respectable state, and would resist the strongest attack; that on the loth a report was spread in Alcacer that they would be attacked, which caused the greatest confusion among the enemy ; that on the 13th many carts passed through Arraiolos from Salvaterra, with baggage and plate belonging to the Infantas and Dukes, for Elvis. A despatch from the Juiz de Fora of Setubal, of the 17; h. says that the public tranquillity had not been inter. :opted, and th a on the preceding day the Duchess of Braganza frigate had entered that harbour, which being joined by the Donna Maria and other vessels, the town WAS in a perfect state of defence; the tri-coloured flag was hoisted ; eight batteries bad been lately erected. An accompanying despatch from the Juiz de Fora, of the town f Sines says that the inhabitants were prepared to make the greatest aforts to defend that point. Their Majesties returned to the Palace des Necessidades in good health this afternoon at four o'clock.—Chronica of Lisbon, Nov. 18, 19, and 20. The Chronica cotrains no news whatever from the army, except the account of the destruction of the mills at Pernes. The Chronica of the 18th contains orders for confiscat ing the property of several persons ; among others are the Marchioness of Chaves, the Marquis de Bellos, and ibe Marquis de Penalva.

Zylsba, belonging to the second battalion of the 17th division of infantry in garrison at Philippine, de serted to the enemy with his arms and accoutrements. The following article of the 21Iessager de Gand shows us what fruit this man, who was born in Gro ningen, but latterly lived at Antwerp, has gathered from his crime : " The day before yesterday (the 14th) a Dutch ser geant, who had deserted, arrived here. This mars, who seems not to t , e destitute of resources, fancied that as soon as he set foot on the hospitable soil of Belgium, and conducted himself according to the laws in force there, he should be at full liberty to choose his place of abode and mode of life ; he has, however, found himself mistaken. Immediately on his arrival here he was ordered to go to Ostend and enrol himself in the Portuguese Legion, which is immediately to rail for Portugal to fight for the cause of Don Pedro. He was in despair at his rash step, but his complaints were unavailing, and he was conducted by force to 0-tend " DUTCH FUNDS—AMSTERDAM, Nov. 26.

PETERSBURGIi, Nov. 13.—The Commercial Jour ?, a/ contains a view of the trade of the kingdom of Poland, from which it appears that a very great change has taken - place in tilt, trade between Poland and Russia in the time from 1830 to 1832. This change is accounted fur by the late regulations of the trade between Russia and Poland, which are founded on reciprocity. Now it is natural that Russia, from its greater extent and population, should have more articles to export to Poland than the latter had to send to Russia. Accordingly, in 1832 the exportations fr m Russia to Poland were three times the amount of those from Poland to Russia. In 1830 the excess of the rportation into the kingdom above the exports n as only 2,640,544 florins, but in 1832 it an. 28,342,513 florins.

To Russia To Prussia To Austria To Cracow DEATH IN A GAMBLING-HOUSE.—(From a Correspondent.)—lnformation was yesterday afternoon received at Mr. Higgs's office, the Deputy. Coroner for Westminster, of a death which had occurred under very mysterious as well as suspicious circumstances, in the well known gambling-house, No. 6, on the South side of St. James's-square. The circumstances connected with the case baying been conducted throughout with the greatest privacy, it is with difficulty we have been able to glean the following account, which, for accuracy, we have not the slightest reason to doubt :—The name of the deceased is Henry Higgins, aged about 48 years; he has been for some time past employed as a waiter and " card dealer" in the above notorious bell. At an early period on Tuesday morning last, while engaged at his occupa tion, he was takes s-riously ill—he principally complained of a violent pain in his bead, and appeared in a state of stupor. By the persuasion of the party then at the house, he went to bed, after which various medical gentlemen were sent for, among whom were—Messrs. Tracey, of Charles-street, St. James's ; Joseph Gibbons, his assis tant ; and Tegart, of Pall-mall, when cupping, bleeding, and other remedies were resorted to, but notwithstanding all medical assistance he expired shortly after. An under taker, named Nicholls, residing at Alarylebone, being pie s-tat, it was agreed that he should inter the deceased With as much privacy as possible, in order that the hell might not be exposed. On Wednesday evening the under tsker proceeded to the house with a conveyance for re. moving the body to his own residence, which he ultimately succeeded in doing, without giving notice of the same to the parochial officers. The surgeons, thinking it was proper that a Coroner's Inquisition should be held upon the body without delay, gave information of the occurrence to Webb, the beadle, who, after inquiry, and ascertaining the information to be correct, apprised the Coroner of the same, when the Coroner instantly gave directions to the beadl e t o h ave the body removed b ack to the gambling. house, in order that he might cause a Juty to be empan nelled to inquire by what means death was occasioned and if his r. q ,,i,i t i on was not compliA with, be would indict the undertaker for a misdemeanor at the present Middlesex Sessions. The beadle not knowing where the undertaker resided, retu t rn e doedtoor bythe gambling-house, when he was waited upon at the a gent'eman of vet dashing exterior, who said that he had exerted himself to the utmost in e ndeavouring to gain an interview with Nicholls, the undertaker, but without success. He believed the undertaker resided in Cleveland•street, Marylebone. Tt e beadle replied that he would do his duty, and if the lot dy of the deceased were buried before an inquest was bt ld thereon, be would have it disinterred. The deceased, who it is rumoured died from excessive intoxication, I, s left a widow and family.—Morning Paper. In the Grand Duchy of Posen the cholera has just broken out among tbepoultry. The ge ese, ducks, chickens, &c., fail down suddenly, and during the evacua tion of a milky liquid, they expire. The body immediately turns of a deep blue, and in all the liver is found diseased. On the frontier of Poland a murrain prevails among the eallket LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 29, 1833. The Paris papers of Wednesday, which ar rived this morning, contain very little news of interest. They state that the troops of the Queen of SPAIN entered Vittoria on the 20th, not on the 19th inst. as was first announced. There is no official information yet of the de feat of MERINO. The treasurer-general of SAARSFIELD'S army had fled with the mili tary chest, but was arrested on the Bridge of Irun by the French sentinels. The domestic news of the French papers is very trifling. The combinations of workmen have extended to several more towns, and slight disturbances had taken place, but they were soon repressed. The accounts from Germany, in these papers, state that the Neckar Gazette, the only independent journal in Germany, had been suppressed by the Diet, in virtue of instructions from the Mun chengratz Despots. The Chamber of Wirtem berg has adopted a bill for the abolition of tithes. It is stated, in an article from Russia, that, in consequence of the dearth in the southern provinces, an ukase has been issued granting certain indulgences to the mercantile classes.

We have received Frankfort papers to the 23d inst. They contain no political news of interest. It is stated in an article from Berli n that two Homoprethic Doctors ure to be brought to trial for having administered morphine to chil dren in strong doses. Two of their young patients are stated to have fallen victims to these doses. These Homoprethic gentlemen are disciples of HAHNEMANN, a German Doctor of high repute in his own country, who has written two thick volumes, in which he contends that the ten thousandth part of a grain of any medicine, however mild, is sufficient for the strongest patient. His disciples seem to have made their practice very different from their professions. The discovery is likely to give a death blow to the absurd doctrine of HAHNEMANN. There are accounts from Greece to the sth ult., but they possess no interest. Five per Cent. Metal'lgoe, ' 93 7-16 ; Four per Cent., 821; Bank Stock, 1,197i._ In another column will be found an account of the opening of the session of the Colonial Legislature of Jamaica, on the Bth October, with Lord MULGRAVE'S speech, announcing to it the receipt of the Slavery Emancipation Bill. The Noble Earl's speech is worthy of himself, of the occasion, and of the nation as whose mouthpiece he acted. It is calm and decisive, but conciliating in the highest degree. The compliment paid to the generosity of the nation, for its pecuniary sacrifice in this great cause, is hardly so warm as we think it might have been. The planters should consider, that had not Parliament interfered at all, there can be no doubt that the slaves would shortly have set themselves free, and massacred them into the bargain. A grant of twenty millions ought, therefore, to be looked upon as a complete Godsend. We trust, however, that the dis satisfaction which some have expressed is by no means generally felt, and that, as Lord NIUL GRAVE says, there will be no objection to the principle of the change. It would appear, ~) however, that his Lordship anticipates consider able difficulty in arranging the details of eman cipation. We would advise the slave-owners not to stretch the cord too tight. As leave has been given for the bringing in of two Bills, one to abolish slavery for ever, and the other to extend religious toleration to all sects and classes, we may expect, by the next packet, to have some decisive indications of the temper in which the Colonial Legislature is treating the subject. DANIEL O'CONNELL, Esq.—we beg par don, Mr. BARRETT, the proprietor of the Pilot, has been found guilty of publishing a seditious libel, having attached to it the name of DANIEL O'CONNELL. It will be seen that the Learned Gentleman acted as Counsel for the defendant, and played his part in the farce to admiration. The legerdemain which has so delighted the people of Dublin would have merely excited ridicule and contempt, could we forget that he is now playing, not merely with the paltry pence of his starving and deluded fol lowers, but the prosperity and happiness of the empire. We, in London, can hardly imagine the scene, but putting aside the serious view of the subject, it must have been amusing in the ex. tteme to hear O'CONNELL speaking of " the writer" of the letter, quoting upon the Judges arguments they urged thirty years ago under totally different circumstances, turning a Court of Justice into a lecture room for repeal, and receiving the applause of his backers as if he were haranguing on the hustings. Of a truth our fellow subjects have strange ideas of decency and decorum. We have reason to believe that the reports which have been in circulation for the last fort night, of the probable retirement of Earl GREY, were not originally without foundation ; but it appears that on Saturday or Sunday last some arrangement was come to by which the Noble Earl was induced to suspend his determination. The Tories, with their usual alacrity, have spread a rumour that Lord GREY had quar relled with some of his colleagues in office, and that his wish for retirement was to be attributed to that circumstance. Never was statement more unfounded. Although much more liberal than some of his colleagues, Earl GREY knew but too well their. influence in a particular quarter; and dreading lest by betraying a want of cordiality towards them, he might expose the Cabinet to a chance of dissolution, and bring about the accession of the Tories, he has given way on many occasions to what is called the moderate portion of the Cabinet, and has thus prevented dissension. The real motive of Earl GREY'S determina tion to retire from the Ministry, and also from public life—for we understand that in the event of his resigning office, he will proceed to his seat in the North, and pass the remainder of his days in the more quiet but delightful exer cise of benevolence towards the poor of his vicinity—is very different from that ascribed to him by the Tories. His Lordship feels that he is no longer in the vigour of life,—that he has only commenced the great work of Reform, and that younger, although not bolder, men are required to complete it. He feels, too, that after having done so much for the country, he may fairly ask for repose in the latter years of his existence without being subjected to an imputation of cowardice in the great office which he holds, and which he has hitherto discharged with equal energy and integrity. Little do they know of the cares and anxieties of an office like that which Earl GREY holds, who imagine that, except for purposes of public good, it can be an object of ambition to a well constituted mind. Little do they know of the difficulties with which Earl GREY has had to contend who suppose that he of all men on earth can have any de. sire to remain in power, even though the path for the future lay smooth before him. The vexations of the past must have sickened him of all fondness for power, even if lie ever enter- tabled any from ordinary motives. When Lord GREY points to Ns hat he has done—and let us bear in mind that it was what few other men would have dared to have attempted—he may surely be allowed to ask for tranquillity during the few years which the course of nature has reserved for his existence. If the warrior be permitted, when he has served his country, to turn his sword into a ploughshare, the Statesman, the Reformer, the friend and benefactor of hie countrymen, may surely be allowed to pass the few remaining summers of his life under the shade of his own oaks, and in the quiet con templation of the political freedom which was the work of his own accomplishing. But, whilst we admit that Lord GREY could retire from office without exposing himself to any reproach for abandonment of public duty, we would appeal to the patriotism which made him a Reformer, and to the high mindedness which enabled him to carry his measures in the face of the corruption of centuries, and solicit him to remain at his post until assured that the consummation of his views will not be prevented by mismanagement or want of political integrity in his successor. It would be one thing for Lord GREY to retire, after having placed the reins of power in the hands of a skilful and honest man, and another to leave office with the probability of seeing a corrupt or inefficient person occupy the post which he had quitted. It would be great and glorious for Lord GREY to say, "In the prime of my lif e I struggled for reform when the cause appeared almost hopeless, and in the ripeness of age I have stood under the shadow of the tree, whose imper ce ptibl e . healthy, an d un d er growth r leave osvth thathad for e y v e i a g r o s r o b u e s e n a n a d l imperceptibl e . the care of those who will cause it to send forth new shoots, and to become the parent of a sturdy forest." We would have Lo r d G REY say this of the Reform Bill for which the country is indebted to him. We would have him accom panied to the scene of his retirement by the blessings of the people for the past, an d t h e assurance of his own mind that he had provided for their wants in future. Until then, Lord GREY must feel that, although his past services may render his wish for retirement to a great extent sacred, the public claims upon him are still too powerful to be resisted. As it is understood that Lord GREY is ani mated by the feelings which his friends would al ways wish to attribute to him, and that he will not retire from office until a successor can be found who would not only not attempt to cheat the peo ple out of the rights, which they have ob tained, but who would also insist on their obtaining those which are still withheld from them—who would, in short, complete the reform of which the Reform Act, great and important as it is, as a first step, would ne vertheless be nothing as a final measure, we will not now offer any speculations on the reports which are in circulation as to his proba ble successor. We will only observe that the country will neither bear an open Tory, nor a Whig temporizer. The, next Premier must be the advocate of the people's rights, or his reign will be of short duration. `We regret to perceive, by an extract from the Huddersfield Express, that Captain FENTON, the liberal Representative of the Borough of Huddersfield, has died suddenly. Mr. SADLER and Mr. WORTLEY, jun., have been named by the Tories, in their indecent haste, as a Con servative successor ; but the intelligent and inde pendent electors look up to Mr. BLACKBURNE (their fellow-townsman), as a far more qualified Member to represent their local and national interests. Mr. BLACKBURNE is a native of that Borough, and, as the able Chief Commis sioner in the Corporation Commission, would be a public acquisition to the House of Com mons, and an honour to the place of his nativity, as Member for Huddersfield. Mr. BLACK BURNE is no "new light," but an old and consistent Reformer—one who would be in the Honse of Commons a most able and informed advocate of Municipal Reform. The Dublin correspondent of the Times, in his letter of yesterday, gives an account of three different plans of poor law proposed by indi viduals of some eminence, to be introduced into that country. We have often recorded our opinion, that any plan of compulsory poor relief in that country should contain within itself the seeds of its own dissolution, or at least of its own de pression. Now all the three plans before us, so far from being likely to accomplish the great ulti mate object of extinguishing pauperism altogether, contain provisions more or less calculated to en courage the curse it proposes to remove. Mr. JAMES BUTLER BRYAN is the propounder of one plan, the late Mr. ALEXANDER NIM MO, the engineer, of another, and Mr. JAMES NAPER, said to be the richest commoner in Ireland, and one of the best resident landlords, of the third. All the plans propose that the clergymen of both persuasions should be perma nent overseers of the poor, but to be assisted by a fewer or larger number of laymen, elected by the rate-payers. This, at first sight, appears unobjectionable, but a little examination will show it to be fraught with one of the greatest of the many evils which attend the English system. In England the Poor Law Commis sioners found that in many parishes the increase of the poor rates was to be attributed to the fact of the parish funds being administered by men who had a direct pecuniary interest in conci liating the paupers. They found that the most conscientious tradesman, who looked to the cus tom of the paupers for the support of his busi ness, was liable to let his feelings of self-interest bias him in his distribution of the parish funds intrusted to his care. Now the Catholic clergy are entirely dependant upon the contributions of their flocks; and however honourable and up right they may be as a body, it is expecting too much of human nature to suppose that when a man says he can make no contribution to his priests' coffers without parish work and pay, the whole of the latter should feel themselves unbiassed in their administration of funds raised from their wealthier and more provident neigh bours. It is of no use to say that the lay over seers would be a check upon the clergy of both denominations, for the latter, being the perma nent body, would inevitably have a preponde rating influence in the parochial administration. We might point out other sources of mischief in all the plans, but till we hear the intentions of Government upon the subject, it will be unne cessary to examine them at greater length.

Sitting++ at Weetmin•ter Michaelmas Term, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and Middlesex Common Juries.) MOPSEY V. ABBOTT. Mr. TUESSIGER app.ared in this ;ase for the plaintiff, who is a shoemaker, resident in the neighbourhood of Russell-square. and the action was brought for the purpose of recovering Si. 17s. for boots and shoes supplied to the defendant's son, who is under the age of 21. The defence set up was, that the son held a situation under G.,.ern ment, with a salary of 901., which it was submitted was quite sufficient to ply all ordinary expenses, receiving his board at home with his father gratuitously; but being exceedingly extravagant the chlendant found it necessary, by refusing to meet his liabilities, to endeavour to put a stop to it. Mr. PoLLocr was proceeding with the defence on these ground•, when— The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said it was quite untenable, and directed the Jury to find for the plaintiff. A verdict for the plaintiff, with costs, was found accordingly. \ , l / 4 PRICES OF STOCKS Tin Bank &tut 210% 10 3!pe- Cent. Rut. 87%% 3 pe- Cenr.Cons. B BMO4 3c4 per Cent.

The parties resided at Michael's place, Brompton, as next door neighbours ; and the wooden fence between the two houses being in a some what dilapidated state, it yeas mutually agreed be tween the tenants to erect the wall in question at their joint expense. The plaintiff having dug the foun dation, wished the defendant to send a bricklayer to raise the wall ; but on his representation and promise he was induced to complete the erection, the defendant agreeing to pay one half of its cost. Mr. IhrrctriNsois appeared for the plaintiff, and c filled several witnesses, in order to prove the existence of the verbal agreement between the parties. Mr. PLATT appeared on the other side. The Learned Counsel commented at some length on the evidence of the two material witnesses who spoke to the fact, for the purpose of invalidating their testimony; and called a witness for the purpose of proving that no such under standing or agreement had ever existed between the parties, but that the plaintiff in fact was bound by his contract with his landlord to erect the wall in question at his own expense. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 3/. Os. 6d. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY, (Middlesex Nisi Prius Sittings, before Mr. Baron G ijß NET and a Common Jury.) SADLER V. COSTANS. Mr. J. WILLIAMS stated this case to the jury. He said the plaintiff was a widow who, in order to obtain a liveli hood, kept lodgers and exercised the calling of a laundress. She resided at No. 9, Warwick row, Pimlico, under a Mr. Cain, but in September, 1832, the whole row was sold to the defendant, who gave plaintiff notice to quit at the end of six months. Immediately after he, without leave or license, sent in a number of bricklayers and car penters for the purpose of repairing the whole of his put.- cha , e. They took off and repaired the roof ; they knocked down the wash-house, broke off the water pipe, and so ruined her business as a laundress; they knocked down all the garden walls, cut down the trees, and even took away seven feet from the length of the garden, and totally spoiled it by throwing the whole of the rubbish from the other house, in it. They kept a carpenter's bencl. in the front parlour, which so annoyed the lodgers that they left. '1 he action was brought for the trespass. and he (Mr. J. W.) trusted the jury would teach this defendant that he was not at liberty to proceed in such an arbitrary way. The notice was put in, in order to prove that the plaintiff was treated as, and was in fact, a tenant. The case, as stated, was proved by the plaintiff's eon, and Mrs. Holdhroke, the lodger, who was obliged to leave in conse quence of these repairs. Mr. THESSIGER, on the part of the defendant, said that though he bad evidence to show that much of what had been done was by the consent of the plaintiff, yet, all the things considered, he had advised that the defendant should submit to a verdict for 201. Mr. WILLIAM/ agreed to the offer, and the verdict was returned accordingly. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL appeared in Court, and ap plied that the cause of " Dicas v. Lord Brougham" might nut be put in the piper on Monday. The Learned Counsel on both sides were engaged in a case of great im• poitanee in the K.ng's Bench on that day. It would be a favour to both patties if it stood fur Tuesday—Ordered. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS -(THIS DAY. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant ARABIN.) John Davis, alias Williams, was indicted for felo niously stealing, on the 26th of October, a work box, the property of John Jarvis. It a k ;peared from the evidence of the prosecutor's son that the prisoner was seen coming out of the prosecutor's house with the work box in his hand. The prosecutor gave an alarm to his son, who, with the assistance of another person, secured the prisoner a very short distance from the house with the property upon him. The prisoner made no defence, and the Jury found him Guilty. The same prisoner was again indicted for stealing a watch and appendages, value 41., the property of Robert Heritage. _ It appeared from the evidence of a police constable, who took him in charge on the last felony, that, on searching the prisoner, he found upon him the watch mentioned iu the indictment, which the prisoner said he had been possessed of for two years. Elizabeth Heritage proved that the watch was her husband's property, and had been taken out of their dwelling-house on the morning of the 26th October, the same day on which the last felony was committed. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and Mr. Sergeant ARABIN immediately sentenced the prisoner to be transported fir seven years upon each indictment. (Before Mr. Justice LITTLEDA LE.) Edward Murphy, aged 28, was indicted for the wilful murder of Edward Thompson, on the 9th July last, at Friar's Barn. The prisoner, a young min of respectable appearance, and described in the calendar as a plasterer by trade, pleaded Not Guilty. The witnesses on both sides baying been ordered out of Court, Mr. CRESSWELL stated the facts of the case on behalf of the prosecution as they appeared in evidence. The prosecution, it will be remembered, arose out of a prize fight for 5/., at Whetstone. Mr. Charles James Cox deposed, that he was assistant. surgeon to Mr. Hammond, of Whetstone, and that on the 9th July last, saw a person of the name of Edward Thompson, at the house of Mr. Harrison ; did not see him alive, but was at the post mortals examination. There were external bruises on the head, internal extra vasation of 1,1°4 on the dura mater, and a small quantity of blood in the lower ventricle,—the face was bruised slightly, and so also was the groin. On the back of the head a little above the ear, there was a wound which must have been inflicted by a weapon. In witness's judgment death was occasioned by extravasation of blood on the brain, in consequence of the wound at the back of the head. Mr. CLARKSON (who with Mr. BODKIN, defended the prisoner) declined to cross-examine this witness. Mr. John Harrison, surgeon at Whetstone, deposed, that he attended the deceased after the fight, and found him in a state of total insensibility, and he continued in that state until his death, on Thursday, 11th July last, about one o'clock. Witness examined the deceased after death, and found the dura mater perfectly healthy ; but four vessels of th e b ra i n had burst, and there was a quan tity of extravasated blood. The eye was bruised, and had the appearance of having been lanced previous to witness seeing the deceased. Saw no bruise on the back of the head. In my judgment the bursting of the blood-vessels were the immediate cause of death, and witness would imagine their rupture was caused by a fall. Thinks a fall in a scuffle would occasion such a rupture. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON-Was examined on a former occasion,: and then said that he saw no external violence. The rupture was occasioned by a fall. There was a slight bruise on the head. Heard Mr. Cox say in his examination on the former trial that he found a bump raised on the head by the blow of a weapon, which, though he could not see it, in consequence of the hair, yet could feel it with his finger. In my opinion there was no bump. Witness is not a Member of the Colle.:e of Surgeon.. Witness never practised on animals, but his father is a veterinary surgeon. Witness bled the deceased before Mr. Cox saw him, and took from the temporal arteries until the blood would no longer fhiv. Also bled him in the right arm, and took two pints at first, and in an hour after took about ten ounces more. Witness took 66 ounces of blood from the deceased within four hours on the same day. Witness also applied five leeches, and t‘.,ey took about two ounces. The deceased was bled the neat day, but not by witness. Will swear that the deceased did not come by his death in consequence of How from a weapon.., Frederick 'napkins examined by Mr. CitaswEtt. - " Witness is a cartnsn, residing at No. 1, Middlesex iklen Marylehone, and was present at the fie ht on the 9th July last as a apt crator, and saw several rounds fough t ' The fight was between Edward Thompson, the deceased' and Michael Murphy. The prisoner at the bar was pre; sent and acted no farther than as the brother of MOO' Murphy, except that he did something that he ought to have done.

Thoto 6 Reedie was one, hut the other was unknown to witne s6 : After the third round there was not, by any means, frilr play to the deceased, not by the seconds, but by the cou r t ' titude of Irish who stood rou n d. Th ey pu sh e d to th e top part of the ring, which is the highest part of th e ground. Murphy wished to give in, and be did in fact give s twice, as witness considered at the time. At the o '2; Reedie was wiping Michael Murphy's face, during "; l b , fight. Michael looked to the prisoner, his brother, st:,, said, in a 'aint voice, " I s h a ll fi g h t no more." I'2: pris , ner stepped across his knee , an d smac ki ng hi s loo" together, said, " Hallo ! you have enough in you yet t° beat two such as him ; you shall fight." Witness 01 said to Thompson's second, " Now the fight is yours' ] and witness was knocked down, and lost sight of sever s rounds in consequence. At length witness saw the la: 1 round but one, when the men seemed as fresh apparenril, as the first round ; and th e l as t roun d th ey b ot h r o ugh' manfully, but were exhausted ; but it appeared to roe t ° he more by the pressure of the crowd ; when Murphy hit Thompson a blow on the head, which occasioned th e fill, in consequence of Thompson's exhausted state, h e fell back on a turf of grass, and the fight ended. Witsc° assisted the sec ,, nds to remove Thompson out of the r ine. i. Cross-examined by Mr. lionxix.—Witness took persons in his cart to the fight, but has not attende more than three prise-fights within the last two yes° . Never was charged with stealing dead bodies, nor anything else. Cannot say how long the fight lasted' Blows with sticks might have been struck without witnes s seeing it. Witness considers the deceased was struck with something like a stick before the blow from M u rpbft which was the last which knocked him down. George Long, examined by Mr. Ce.xswEr.L.—le farrier, and was present at the fight at Whetstone. Se°' the prisoner there acting as second to his brotber, Michael Murphy. The fight was not what is termed • fair fight, in consequence of the mob breaking in a . . ring. Thompson seemed to lie th e b es t man .

The b'ow was struck with a bleo: thorn stick. Mullany was tried for this. and acquitted' Cross•examined by Mr. CLARKSON-The deceased, I t ' the last round, was knocked down by a throw and not bi a blow. The seconds on both sides conducted the fig ht fairly. William Sutchbury, examined by Mr. CitEswlLL"'" Witness is constable of North End, Finch!ey, and present at the fight on the day in question, and though t the first six or seven rounds as fair a fight as possible, sod after that saw the mob flourishing sticks about the ear batants at one end of the ring. Wit ness did not us e l"‘ authority because he was alone, and the mob was numerous and violent. Went with intention to stop Ik e fight, with his staff and handcuffs in hi s p oc k et , but It was impossible that he could have succeeded against 0 411 a mob. Cross-examined by Mr. Bormw—Saw no blow with stick given to the deceased in the second round. Martin Hussing was called, but did not answer. a Mr. CRESWELL then informed the Court t h a t b e cool" not carry the case further. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he had endev voured to persuade his brother not to engage in the gi b !' but to attend to his work; but his brother declared b` . determination "to try which was the better man," ° Thompson had so often insulted him. The prisoner, added, that he had shown every attention to the decease' after the battle terminated, and protested his entire it , " ° ' cence of the charge alleged against him. Thomas Reedie examined by Mr. CLAaxsolbs--W ° present at the fight, and acted as one of the seconds t" Murphy. The prisoner did not act at all. Ray was Sb a other second. Witness was tried and eonvieted of th e manslaughter of the deceased, and has suffered tvr° months' imprisonment. The prisoner never troubled bins' self with his brother during the fight. Never heard higi say to his brother " You cr. beat two such fellows." jl was a fair fight as far as the combatants were concernetft but the ring was broken in, and it was not possible 10 kee) out the mob, many of whom bail sticks.

The Jury was of opinion that the prisoner's huabts ila was hnplicated in the transactions, so that she was reatNl P '' mended to mercy. The Learned JUDGE intimated that, under all the e ir, cutnstanees, the sentence would be a lenient one. George Ritson was indicted for stealing a bashe t l containing copper coin of the value of 55., the propel ° Robert Porter. William Putter, an intelligent little boy, seven year' age, stated that, on the 9th of November, he was taking care of his father's cart in Spica!fields mat ket, when the prisoner came and said Mr. Potter w an t e d th e baske t : which witness delivered to hint, with it s conten ts, vi. iS " which he ran away.

The Commoti SERGEANT summed up the evidence, ar id The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The following are extracts from official re' ports of General d'Uzer, Commandant of Bona 0° the 3d of November, General d'Uzer n 1 .de a reconnoie Fance in the direction of Constantino. He advanced with seven hundred horse and four cannon as far as Sidi Ant' mar, near Achoura (Serviliana), ten leagues from Boos. The road he took is good, and at two points only did the artillery meet with any dif f iculties, and these were coi l ); got over. It appears that the remainder of the road all the way to Constantino, is very good. This reconnoissanc e ' which exhibited our troops to the tribes situated at th e foot of the mountains, led to the discovery of new riches in this most beautiful province. The country is divided into productive meadows and woods of olives and m yrtle , interspersed with cultivated fields, rendering abundant crops of most excellent corn. Nothing equally fine has an yet been seen in Africa. The Sheiks of Ouled Bo ° Aziz hastened to present themaelven to General d'Uzer, On his making a halt near Achoura. They offered hin t refreshments, which he accepted, and invited theta t° p irtake of with him. On his return, the Sheiks acconl ponied him for a league. During the whole of this long march, not a single accident occurred. The receptio n given to our troops shows that the confidence of the Arabs is widely increasing. General d'Uzer receive' daily proofs that they are well disposed towards tie' The condition of those who are under the pro tection of the garrison of Bona, has induced others to desire to be placed under the dominion of th e French. They see, in fact, the whole plain near the town covered with the tents of the Karesses, the Ichaone l ' and the Bsni Urgins, and the tribes peaceably cultivating t mit- fields, and reaping the fruits of their labour. They know that the Arabs find a ready market for their prov nions at advantageous pr hn i e c o e tc s o , omn an lpy d a , roif i s t tir h e'l i ce s elii s vt t Yi a n t ag e n o d f pj hourlyur s o t s i ; Pe :: prosperity and the tyranny and cruel.), f t Bey of Constantina leads them at once to submit the n " selves to the rule of France.
