Til Queen POMARE has written to the KING to demand the fulfilment of the stipulations of the treaty which assured to her the internal sovereignty of her country, and to pray that she be maintained in her rights. The KING, by the advice of his Council, not finding in the circumstances reported, .sufficient grounds for abandoning the treaty of the 9th of September, 1842, has ordered the execution, pure and simple, of that treaty, and the establishment of the French Pro tectorate in that island." _ _ The Paieis papers of Sunday, which were delayed by the boisterous weather, have been received. The underhand attack made by M. TRIERS on the Court, in reference to the resignation of M. DE SALVANDY, still forms a subject of discussion in several of the papers. The Journal des Debats has written two long articles against the line of policy pursued by the ex-Minister, to-which the Constitutionnel has re plied with much warmth, but their arguments possess no interest to the English reader. All the papers give reports of the questions put by Lord BROUGHAM and Sir GEORGE GREY, relative to the occupation of Otaheite, with the replies of the Earl of ABERDEEN and Sir ROBERT PEEL. The . National, which loses no opportunity of exciting the bad passions of the two nations, has a violent article on the subject, attacks Lord BROUGHAM, M. GUIZOT, and every party in fact that is opposed to the unwarrantable step taken by the brave French Admiral. That journal in these attacks shows not only great anti pathy to England, but states deliberate falsehoods ; and among others, after alluding to British conquests in China, it asserts what every one knows is contrary to the fact, that England has opened the Chinese ports, but insolently repels from them European commerce. After the important intelligence, however, given above, the affair now has little interest. The Cabinet of Louis PHILIPPE has acted wisely and justly in disowning the rash act of DUPETIT-THOUARS. The Constitutionnel gives, on the authority of a correspondent, very unfavourable news from the Papal States. The discontent of the people, it says, is no longer confined to complaints ; they have commenced to act in a manner which shows their de • IMPORTANT NEWS FROM termination to resist the absolutist party. At Ra venna, M. CLAVARI, the head of the police of that legation, was fired upon, and though he himself es caped, some of his escort were wounded. The fol lowing day a placard was found posted in the streets of Ravenna, that if M. CLAVARI did not take his de parture forthwith, he would not . escape the next shot. At saint Albert and Jaffignano, small towns in the same legation, several Carribenees have been shot, and the Swiss guard disarmed. At Bologna a peasant, who is said to have been one of the insurgents in August last, wished to enter the town, but was discovered by be its objects, almost necessarily degenerates into vexatious and objectionable details. It is the curse of statutable remedies applied to minor grievances con nected with the economy of social life (whether these regard the expense of legal proceedings or the diffi culty of obtaining—in certain cases of private wrongs—prompt or effectual redress), that they over lay the case which they propose to succour. The machinery is too ponderous for the object. It is too apt to crush both the party who invokes its action and the party against whom it is set in motion. The credulous plaintiff who achieves success with such an auxiliary usually awakens from his dream of triumph to the luxury of discovering that he has " gained—a loss." Independent of all objections to some of the enactments in the Bill before us, on the score of their unconstitutional stringency, and the un technical latitude of their phraseology; the same re sults would attend the measure, were it passed into law, 'which have so generally attached to similar efforts for the attainment of similar purposes. the patrol, whom he immediately shot with a pistol. The following day, at the funeral of the unfortunate patrol, shots were fired on the escort, and neither the murderer nor the others have been discovered. And it is also stated that M. ALEXANDRINI, one of the members of the special commission to try the in surgents at Ancona, had been shot in open day. The French Funds fell on Sunday, in consequence of a report that the KING had had another bilious attack. At TORTONI'S the Three per Cents. closed at 82f. 32ie. The petition from Durham against the return of Mr. BRIGHT, which in the rage of defeat the Tory party concocted and presented to the House of Com mons, has fallen to the ground. A petition more groundless—containing allegations more false, and charges more &void of all foundation, was never brought before the tribunal of Parliament. After months of labour, and the expenditure of large sums of money, in the attempt to procure the shadow ofsubstance for the petition (in which attempt the stews and sink holes of Durham have been raked), the petitioners have been obliged to confess that they had no real charge against Mr. BRIGHT or his election, and have withdrawn their petition. If any case could have been made, neither money nor inclination was want ing to sully the fair fame of the first great triumph of free trade in the city of Durham. Mr. BRIGHT stands the Member for Durham, and the petitioners against his return confess that he was fairly, honour ably, and honestly returned. In answer to a question from Lord BROUGHAM the Earl of ABERDEEN said he had received no commu nication respecting a collision between the English and French ships of war in the South Seas, and he thought the report to which the Noble Lord had alluded was very improbable. In answer to another question from the Noble and Learned Lord, the Earl of ABERDEEN said the King of PRUSSIA had adopted some measures in relation to the Polish refugees residing in Posen, but how far those measures extended he was not prepared to say ; but from the well known character of the King, it would appear that whatever had been done was war ranted by the necessity of the case. _ . Lord CAMPBELL called the attention of the House to a statement made by Lord RODEN relative to Catholic jurors in Ireland, and especially to the case of Mr. RICHARD O'GORMAN, which led to no result. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE gave notice that he would move that any instructions given in Ireland relative to the mode of striking juries be laid before their Lordships, and the House adjourned. In the Commons, Sir T. FREMANTLE moved for a new writ for the borough of Londonderry, to elect a Member in the place of R. BATESON, Esq., deceased. The Bury branch of the Manchester and Leeds Railway Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Mr. O'CoNDIELL presented a petition from the Cor poration of Dublin praying for a repeal of the union. The petitioners stated, among other things, that 1,500,0001. had been spent in the most profligate manner to obtain the Act of Union. He also pre sented petitions to the same effect from various other places, the total number of signatures to which was 387,864. Mr. SIIARMAN CRAWFORD presented a petition from Edinburgh, signed by 17,000 inhabitants, pray ing that - the grievances of the people should be taken into consideration before the supplies were voted; also a similar petition frolic Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The Great Western Railway Amendment Bill was read a second time. After the presentation of other petitions and notices of motions, which possessed little public interest, the order of the day for going into a Committee of Sup ply was read. - - Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD moved that the consi deration of the estimates be postponed until some in dication should be made by the Government to re dress the grievances of the people. Colonel RAWDON seconded the motion. After a few words from Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS, in explanation, Mr. W. WILLIAMS said he did not think the Member for Rochdale had made out any good case for the postponement of the Committee of Supply. Had he taken another course, and pointed out the extravagant expenditure of the Government, the large army and the large fleet maintained in time of peace, and moved that these should be fully investi gated before the estimates were voted, he would have joined with him. The Honourable Member then entered into lengthened details of the extravagance of the Government, who kept up a larger standing army than ever was known in the country since the occupation of France. PARIS. RESTORATION OF OTAHEITE TO QUEEN PO MARE. (From the Times.) We have received by extraordinary express the Paris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur contains the following Government have received dispatches from the Island of Tahiti, dated the Ist and 9th of Novem ber, 1842. " Vice-Admiral DUPETIT TnouARS, who arrived in the Bay of Papeiti on the Ist of November to carry into execution the treaty of the 9th of Sep tember, 1842, which the KING had ratified, had deemed it his duty not to adhere to the stipulations of that treaty, but to take possession of the island, Thus, the preamble recites that " it is desirable to fa cilitate the recovery of small debts and demands not ex ceeding 51., and to lessen the expense thereof." Within our own experience, we have known summonses sued out in Courts , of Requests in this metropolis for sums not exceeding 51. respectively, the expenses of which have, not exceeded those entailed by the issue of one, two, or three summonses, amounting, with Court fees and all, to something under 205.; and there has • been no difficulty, on a fair statement of a fair case by the plaintiff, in obtaining from the = Commissioners an order for the payment of his claim and all costs incurred : and certainly no laelf.,of diligence in levy ing, where that proceeding 14' became necessary, on the chattels and 'pro l perty of. the defend ant. Take, fOr .example ‘ . the Bormigh of South wark The recbids Of , Ahalßoroui Court would show, on the tine hank an luiteense amount of these small debts thuS` rceoveredAncr paid 'fete Court, with costs of process ; on the other, a large. y,early number of debtors committed to the debtors' side of Horse monger-lane Prison, where such levy could not be made, or did not satisfy the amount of distress or exe cution. And it must, in fairness, be admitted that the Commissioners are, for the most part, good prac tical men of business, and quite as competent to judge of the merits of a case brought before them, whether as to the plea of defendant or plaintiff, and as to the extent to which it may be proper for them to use whatever discretionary powers they possess, as any professional gentlemen who could be substituted for them. Now the very first enacting clause in this Bill (No. 2) confers on the creditor, in lieu of the ex isting remedy, a power which in practical execution would be absolutely intolerable. Any such creditor " in respect of an express or implied agreement, or of the taking, keeping, or converting of any goods or chattels where such claim or demand shall not ex ceed 51.," may . . . " apply to any justice of the peace for the county where the defendant shall re side," whether the subject matter of such claim shall have arisen in such county or not, and whether the plaintiff shall reside there or not ;" and such justice shall thereupon grant a summons to the defendant to appear before him, or some other justice for the same county, at a time and place therein specified, to show cause, &c., and, if required by plaintiff, to produce then and there " any books, letters, or accounts, or other documents in his possession, which plaintiff may have specified." We really marvel how gentlemen who bring in bills of this kind can speculate so extravagantly on the care lessness or apathy of the House of Commons, aye, and of the House of Lords, as to imagine that either body would tolerate such flagrant encroachments on the ordinary rule and practice of the common law as these. Here, for the sake of a trumpery demand, between 40s. and 51., the justices of the peace are to be empowered to issue, in effect, the most detestable of all processes ever attempted to be enforced in England, since the days of WlLKES—these quasi general warrants. A man may have dealt with, and regularly paid, a tradesman for twenty years. At the close of this pe riod he may have ordered, upon credit proffered by this tradesman, 51. worth of necessary clothing and provision for his family. Instead of being in cash to pay the 51., as stipulated at the end—say oPthree months—unforeseen circumstances deprive him of the power, and so seriously damage his prospects and re sources, that he is compelled to go down into the country in quest of an appointment which he has reason to believe will re-establish his position. Per haps at the very moment which would have installed him in the post, and enabled him honestly to discharge all his debts and obligations, this 51. creditor pounces upon him in Essex or in Kent, with this sort of sum mons, and destroys his own, as well as his creditor's, best chances of ultimate payment. The same creditor, if vexatiously disposed, may compel the production of books, papers, and documents, in volving matters of the most delicate and confidential nature, all of which are to be made patent to the new jurisdiction in hunting for evidence, direct or indirect, touching the demand for the five pounds' worth of goods. The justices' signature is to be sufficient evidence that he issued the summons, so that where a point of law could be raised, and . perhaps equitably under particular circumstances, it is thus to be ruled beforehand against the debtor, and in favour of the creditor. Witnesses are in like manner, under similar summons, served, whether within or beyond the limits of the justices' jurisdiction, to be compelled to attend with books and papers, on tender of their reasonable expenses. The justice may adjourn the case; or, on the first hearing, if he deem the claim well founded, may order pay ment of debt and costs. If claim not well founded, or plaintiff do not appear, the justice may order payment of costs to the defendant. And what of damages for the sort of imputation thus cast on de , fendant, for his anxiety, for the contingent mischief occasioned to him [by the issue of this trumpery process ? Nothing. But it is not, we hope, necessary to proceed further with the analysis of a Bill which is thus palpably inoperative, because insufferably oppressive in its present shape. We reprobate all such needless interventions of Parlia ment with these minor matters, which are much better dealt with by local Courts, that, despite of their occasional inefficiency, have acquired a certain sanc tion and confidence with the public, by reason of their promptitude and practical utility. FIELDING, DT. BOWRING, and the CHANCEL LOR of the EXCHEQUER made some remarks, but, ac cording to the report, they were scarcely audible. Mr. GISBORNE opposed the motion, which, on a divi sion, lost by a majority of 94, the numbers for the motion being 11, and against it 105. Sir CHARLES NAPIER then brought forward his motion relative to the Board of Admiralty, and pointed out numerous defects in the management of naval affairs. His speech is not long, and will be read with interest. After some remarks from other Members, Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT brought forward the navy estimates. The first vote was agreed to, and the House resumed. The Horse-racing Penalties Bill was read a second time, and ordered to he read a third time this day. . The House adjourned at a Quarter to One &Clock Madrid Papers of the 19th have been received, but they are without interest. Alicant still held out on the 16th. The Three per Cents. were done on the Madrid Bourse on the 19th inst. at 30 for cash, and 301 at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 20-a at 60 days. The dinner to O'Connell is finally arranged to take place at Covent Garden Theatre, on Tuesday the 12th of March. The difficulties which had, in the first instance, prevailed as to holding the meeting at the Theatre, having been overcome, the occasion will be marked by a festival on a very grand scale. The pit and stage will form one grand area, on which the tables will be spread, and a grand military band, as well as a full choir of singers will add to the attrac tion of the scene: Many of the leading Members of the Liberal party in Parliament will be present, and several of the Peers have signified their intention to attend. In fact, never, at any time, did the Irish question occupy so large a portion of the sympathy of Englishmen, and Justice to Ireland, never was so favourably entertained as at present. The mail from Scotland, by way of Newcastle, did not arrive yesterday morning. The mail which ought to have reached London on Sunday morning, came up by yesterday's train. A very heavy fall of snow, which commenced on Thursday and lasted until 12 o'clock at noon on Sunday, had so impeded the roads, north of Durham, that the Edinburgh mail did not reach that city on Saturday, until five hours after its time ; and, of course, too late for the railway. On Sunday, the mail was again impeded. The road was clear up to Darlington, and the rail way carriages passed freely and in good time. In Durham and northwards, the fall of snow was little less than ten inches d ee p, an d th e w i n d h av i ng caused considerable d r ifti ng , th e roa d s were rendered almostimpassable. Thi s was th e cause o f d e l ay i n the mail, from which serious inconvenience to the commercial world, must yesterday have been expe rienced. Since we noticed the Bill before the House of Com mons for facilitating the recovery of debts under 201., and extending and multiplying the jurisdictions hereafter to have cognizance of processes connected therewith, another Bill, " for the more easy recovery of small debts and demands not exceeding 51.," has been put into our hands. It is of the same class of petty legislation, which, however commendable may JACK THE FIFER.—In the late Chartist outbreak, one of the principal leaders of the party that attacked the Westgate Hotel, was a man known by the name of " Jack the Fifer." Upon seeing the insurgents defeated he fled, and a lthough very large rewards were offered for his apprehen sion, he was not heard o f until within a few da y s past , when t a h letter t e l r y a a s gr re e c a e t i v m e a d n f y r ddtahtedV escapes irg this He states that he embarked for America.

(Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL.) LORD WM. PAGET v. THE EARL OF CARDIGAN. CRIM CON. This being the day specially fixed for the trial of the long talked-of cause of Lord William Paget v. the Earl of Cardigan, a considerable number of persons had collected outside the Court of Common Pleas, at Guildhall, long before the doors were opened. Shortly after the public were ad mitted every part of the Court was filled with spectators. Amongst those who were present we noticed tho Earl of Errol. The Lord Chief Justice having come into Court exactly at Lalf-past nine o'clock, the jury specially summoned in the cause were sworn. The counsel for the plaintiff were Sir Thomas Wilde, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, and Mr. Wordsworth ; for the de fendant, the Solicitor-General, Mr. Sergeant Chamaell, and Mr. Peacock. She then said, " Don't you knot tord William better than that? If he should call and not flit iitd thre, he -Would go stark staring mad, and go to all the policemen in teivii:" Then Lady William hinted 'to him whether he was fond of her. His Lordship then said Oh, indeed I am ; I never loved any one as I do you. Ills Lordship then said, Is not Lord William very fond of you? She said, Oh, no, he is very unkind to me, he calls me all the d— d b—s he can think of. Lord Cardigan said, Does he ? that is very wrong of him. Then there was whis pering again. I did not hear the words, but I heard him kiss Lady William again. He wished her good-bye, and left the room. Lord Cardigan was there over two hours. I saw Lord William in about ten minutes afterwaards in Charles street, Berkeley-square, and informed him of what I have stated to-day. I received a note, in consequence of which I saw Mr. Fisk. I saw Lord William Paget in Queen-street. My , occupation was that of a solicitor's clerk. Cross-examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL —I was here when the cause was appointed before for December. I came by myself. I came here about ten o'clock. I was not here so early as half-past nine. I will swear that. I left some time after I came. I did not go to Mr. Bebbs. I saw him last week. I saw Lord William at his house in Oxford-street the week before last. I never walked arm-and-arm with Lord William. I never smoked arm-and-arm with him in the street. I smoked on one occasion when walking with him. I was not arm-and-arm with him. He -had an um brella, and I went under it. I dined two or three t imes witif ' his Lordship. When I went to him he used to ask me if I would have a bit. I used to be sometimes glad to get it. I drank with him—not wine. I never saw any wine with him. It used to be half-and-half. I dined sometimes with the sertatita. I first became ac quainted with Lord William when I was tletk. at Mr. Hamer's the attorney: I waited upon him then several times there. I have never been engaged in any swindling transaction while at Mr. Hamer's. Lord William used to be a great deal at Mr. Hamer's. I know a Miss Bellew. I don't know what Lord , -William was doing with Mr. Hamer. I know a Mr. Cassidy. He used to come there almost ev&y day. I know Mr. Gompertz. I don't recollect his being there with Lord William. I don't know a person called the' Marquis de- I3_ourbelle. I was with Mr. Hamer till 1842. Mr. Hamer was in the habit of having a great many ladles. I married a Young wife, and I. did not think it right that she should wait upon them. Mr. Hamer did not threaten to proseeute me for embezzlement. He n'exer charged me with stealing. I left him on the best terms. I Was since employed to take a Mr. Rigby for a Mr. Lewis, an attorney. I took him and got 101. for my services. I was afterwards clerk to Mr. Bartlett. I received money for Mr. Bartlett. I do not recollect receiving money for him which I did not pay over. I might or might not have received such money. I did-not apply a portion of the money I received to my owe plITl3OBe, There was I believe one wrong entry in the book I kept. Since I left Mr. Bartletes • I have been out of employment. I left him in July, 1843: I received 1/. a week f6r some time from Mr. Bebb, Lord. William Paget's attorney. I. got 1/. from him with my subpoena. I am not to get any money. I hope, however, that if - the trial goes on Lord William will be kind to me. He will' be very ungrateful if he does.not. Lord William gave me the-teat and waistcoat I have on me. I met Lord William one day in January. Lord WU= Liam has charged me with defrauding him about a bill of ex change. He gave me the bill to get it discounted. I did not get it discounted. I heard : that he was angry about it. A friend of mine has the drew the bill. Lord William accepted it. I was to disconnt it. I went in a few days to Lord William to state to hirmthe circumstances relating to i the bill. The note handed tip s in my, handwriting. I wrote it at the dictation of Miss Bellew. I did not send to him any letters I got from Mr. Hamer. I took them to her. They were in my custody as clerk. Before I went to Mr. Hamer I lived with Mr. Swaby. He was a relation of Mr. Hamer's. I lived with him as valet. I sometimes drove the coach from Southampton for a bit of fun., I went sometimes to Epsom Races. I never had anything to do with the gambling booths. I was asked to go down there last summer, for which I was to get 15s. or 1/. a day. SoLicrron-GENERAL—Were you to act as a decoy or a bonnet?—You may call it as-you wish. I heard of the name bonnet. I was never one. -I was offered this through a Mr. Weeks. He was a client of Mr. Hamer's. I don't "know what I was to do at the races. I did not get my ap pointment till I went down. Beige I went to Mr. Swaby's I lived with a family in the Isle of IN ight as butler. I should hope that Lord William would be kind to me for coming here to-day. I might have said that I expected to be set up in a public-house, or that I would take the Clarendon if it was to be let. I said a great many things. I saw Lord William on the subject of the bill in March or February, 1843. I saw him since, but - did not speak to him till I was sent for with regard to this business. When I got the note I went to Mr. Fisk, Lord William's attorney. I there saw Lord William at Queen-street. He asked me how I was, and told - me something about Lady William and other parties, which he said he did not believe, for he thought that Lady William was as good a woman as ever lived. He said, if she proved to be virtuous, he should be the happiest man living. I at first did not like to go under the sofa, but at last I consented. • The sofa has a val iance to it. I went under the sofa between one and two o'clock. Lady William - was in the house at the time. Lord William went up, and they came down together. There is a stair-case and a landing-place. There is; a felling-door between the two drawing-rooms. There is an easy-chair near one of the windows. I did not see - Lord Cardigan sitting on it on Saturday; Part of the sofa in the back room comes to the folding-door. Lord William Paget went to Bryan stone-square on the Saturday. I heard that Lord and Lady Paget were going to the opera, to a box which Lord Cardigan had. John Thomas opened the sofa for me, and let the valiance down. I could not see without lying on the ground and keeping my face on the carpet. John Thomas was the valet. He cape to relieve me, and said. that all was right, and that I might come out. This was on the Sunday. I spent the Saturday at home. I got a note on Sunday, about 3 o'clock, to come on that day. I intended to go under the sofa in the front drawing-room on Sunday. I went under the sofa in the back room after Lord Cardigan came. I got in through a door on the landing. I have:not given accounts of this several times. I gave an account to Major Close on the Monday. I don't recollect saying that 4 remained under - the sofa all the time. I think I told him I got out. The account was in writing. I gave another verbally. What I said to _Major Close I said in a very 'confused way. I don't reeollect saying to Lord William Paget that I could not see anything. I don't reccollect saying so to Major Close. I will not swear that I aid or did not. I told two or three persons-after the occurrence that I came from under the sofa. I don't know what I might have said to- Major Close. I saw Lord William the night before. I saw him- with3lajor Close • the nett day. I am almost positive I told Lord William. the night before that I came from under the sofa. I will swear, that Plaid. I will not swear that I said so the next day. I did not get any sherry before I went under the sofa. I wanted something as I did not like the job. I did not agree what .sum I was to get for the job. I don't recollect aperson. named Mark Taylor, who lives in Upper "Baker-street. I don't.recollect ever going to Baker-street`With Lord William Paget. I know a person named Nathan, a sheriff's-officer. I did not know that Lady Paget had come to, town. While at Barlitt's, an application was made to me to swear an af&' davit-. I agreed to swear it. I was asked by Mr.-Fisherandgot a pound for swearing it. In the .presence of Mr. Fisher and Mr. Bartlett I asked what I was to be paid. never said that if I swore to a particular part I should have 21. ' I did not say it in those words. Irdid not say I am d—d if I will say that without having two guineas. I might have said so with regard to the whole affidavit. Mr. Fisher said what a pretty fellow you are to sell your master forh pound. The master alluded to was Mr. Hamer. I never on any occasion passed for the Duke. of Richmond. — (Laughter.) Lord William Paget lived' 'at Mr. Hamer's while I was there. I waited on his Lordship. I used to answer the door generally. I saw Mr. Bebb on the night before the last trial, and also on -the morning Ofr the . - I also saw ' Lord William, nothing passed between us except a salute. Nothing more passed that I recollect. I walked as far as Gray's Inn-rOad Nirith them. They got into a cab. I walked on till I came to a: public-house near the Post-office. John, the servant, was vtith me. I was left alone. John got on the outside orthe cab into which Lord William went. I got here about ten:- I cod not come to give my evidence. I was not even served ,vtith a subpoena. I did not think I was served well. I came -down to show I was not afraid of appearing. I have -been subpoenaed on this occasion. I am indebted to a person named Slingsby. I told him before the trial I should be able to pay shim soon. I told him I expected some'pounds after the trial. 'I expect some pounds now. I expect it from Mr. Bebb. I 'think I ought to get some because I should have been down. at Southampton were it not for this, and I am out 'of -em ployment. I was not at Paris while Lord William Paget was there. I was never in Paris in my. life. I might have said that I was under the sofa in the front room. Persons used to ask me about the matter, but I refused to tell them the fact always. I think I said so to Mr. Fisher. I told dif ferent things to different people.. Mr. Fisher asked whether his spurs were near my nose. - I won't swear that I did not make this remark myself. Mr. Taylor was called into Court, and. the witness said he never was at his (Mr. Taylor's) house. - - I 'often see him . hang ing about Chancery-lane. • Re-examined by T. WILDE—I leci Mr. Webb and Lord William Paget to believe that I would come here on the former trial. I asked them for two sovereigns, which were refused. I did not like this. I was nek served with a sub poena. It was for these reasons I did ngt come. Mr. Bartlet brought some indistinct charge against-me, which he said he would not specify, but it would preverits him from giving me a character. John Thomas, the valet, examined-by Mr. Sergeant.TaL FOUßD—l was in the service of Lord - William Paget for five or six years as valet. I engaged with him in .1836..1-was away fbur years, and returned in 1840.' I am in his service at present. I lived with him at Queen-street, May-fair. Lady William was out of town. We, did not go to Queen street till Lady William came up to town. 'She came on Friday. Lord William went for her before, but she did not come. She and Lord William dined, On the Friday with the Duke of Richmond. When she was going out, she gave me a letter to take to Lord Cardigan,. at; '36, Portman square. The year before, in 1842, , , Lord resided in the same house. The Baroness Iu Rottenburg - resided with her daughter. Lord William:: has -three sons. The eldest is about 15. Lord Cardigan. :.used to visit them at Queen-street. He used to come when-LordWillien was not at home. He used to see Lady William. On Saturday, in consequence of instructions received; I put Winter' into the back drawing-room. It was about ten - miniftes before Lord Cardigan came. I then stowed Whiter under the sofa, and looked to see if he couldbe observed. There - are three win dows in the front drawing-room, and one in the back. Lord William Paget was in the drawing-room whim,l.ord Cardigan called. I do not know where then they met: -Ishowed Lord Cardigan into the front drawing-room.. Lord William called his lady up stairs in order that Winter mightiget under the sofa. She then came down to the, -drawing-room with Lord William, Loki William went out. ..LadyWilliani remained in the drawing-room with Lord Cardigan.. - .He remained for about an hour. Lord Cardigan then weritAtp stairs, and I went to, Winter. He was in apirspiration :when I went to him. - - Lord grid Lady William dined early oh:Saturday to go to the opera. About twelve o'clock on the following day I got a note from Lord Willianr to take to the Earl of Cardigan. It was addressed to his house in. Portland-square. Before Lady'William went out Lord Cardigan called. Winter had before placed himself in the came situation in the draw ing -room that he occupied before under thifsofa in the back drawing-room. Winter and myself were , in the drawing room when Lord Cardigan knocfed. We were waiting for Winter to get under the sofa. The:time had not arrived that Lord Cardigan was to come. I answered thfi door, and saw it was LOrd Cardigan. Lady William had left a message for Lord Cardigan to say she should _be at home at six o'clock. He asked if he could wait. I said, Yes. HeiVerit into the front drawing-room, which was empty, Winter - being hidden. The folding doors between the rooms were open,the blinds in the back room were up, and those in the front one down. Lord Cardigan asked if Lord William was -irt;Ltown. I said he was gone to Woolwich. He asked if tWas-sure he was out of town. I said I believed an. I went-to Winter and spoke to him, and went to the great drawing-roo m for an excuse and drew up a blind. Lord Cardigan said—No, no, they will do as they are. however drew one of them a little up. I shut the folding' doors, and Winter went into the back drawing-room with me. Winter got under the same sofa, and I returned down stairs. Lady William came in about six. I told her Lord Cardigan was up stairs,-and she went to him in the drawing-room. I went into the dining-room with the door open to listen. - Lord Cardigan remained about an 'hour and a quarter after Lady William had arrived. .1' Mr. WORDSWORTH opened the pleadings. This was an action brought by William Paget, Esq., commonly called Lord William Paget, against Janies Thomas Earl of Car digan, for criminal conversation with his wife Frances. The defendant denied the fact alleged. Sir TiOMASWILDE said that his Learned Friend had just stated the nature of this case, which was an action for a criminal conVersation, brought by Lord W. Paget against , the Earl of Cardigan, and he was sure it was enough for the jury to know the nature of the case, and the station of the parties concerned, to ensure their serious attention. Con sidering the station and intelligence of the jury, he would not waste their time by going into any of the details of the case. They would see that the case was one which, if satis factorily established by evidence, was of a very serious na ture, and one upon which they were called on to exercise their best judgment. He would content himself with, barely stating the facts he was instructed to lay before them in evidence, and he had no doubt but they would give a full measure of justice to the plaintiff, if they were satisfied he had proved his case. Lord William Paget was the second son of the Marquis of Anglesey, and was connected with some of the highest families in th e kingdom. The Earl of Cardigan was also a nobleman not perhaps unknown to them, and for many years he and Lord Wm. Paget were on terms of familiar intercourse. He was a person on whose honour the plaintiff thought he could rely with confidence, and that he would not abuse the friendship which subsisted between them. However, on a late occa sion, from some intimations which reached Lord William, he had reason to believe that an improper intercourse had arisen between his lady and the Earl of Cardigan. In the month of August, Lord Wm. Paget went to reside in Queen street, Mayfair, and from what he had heard he resolved upon taking steps to ascertain whether what he had heard of his wife was correct or not. Lady William Paget had been out of town, and came to the house in Queen-street oh Friday. On Saturday, the sth of August, arrangements were made between Lord William Paget and a person of the name of Winter, that he (Winter) should place himself under the sofa of one of the drawing-rooms where it was supposed the parties were likely to meet, make his observations, and re port them to Lord William Paget. There were two adjoin ing drawing-rooms separated by a folding door, and in each drawing-room there was a sofa. The witness placed himself under a sofa .in the back drawing-room with the aid of a person named John Thomas, valet to Lord William Paget. On that day Lord Cardigan came to Queen-street as was expected. He and Lads Wil liam Paget were alone in the drawing-room. Some conver sation of a familiar nature took place between them. He kissed her; but on that day nothing of a criminal nature occured. Enough, however, had transpired to show the feel ing which existed on both sides. An appointment was made that Lord Cardigan should come again on the Sunday, Lord William Paget informed his lady that he was going down on Sunday to Woolwich to see his son, who was in the Royal Academy, and it was arranged that Winter should on the Sunday place himself under the sofa in the front drawing-room, but he was not able to do so in consequence of Lord Car digan's coming sooner than was expected. Lady Paget tried to put as many of the servants as she could out of the way. The witness Winter placed himself in the same posi tion in which he was in on the Saturday, under the sofa in the back parlour. On this occasion he was able to see what occurred in consequence of part of the folding-door being left open, and after Lord Cardigan and Lady Paget were toying for some time, the witness describes that 'a criminal connection took place between them, and shortly afterwards was completed a second time. When Lord Paget was informed of what took place, he re turned home, and challenged his lady with what had occurred, and, being in a state of excitement, he certainly conducted himself with considerable violence towards her. He then left her, upon which she sent a letter to Lord Cardigan, inform ing him of what had occurred. He did not know whether that letter would be produced; but it was quite certain that Lady Paget had made a communication of what had occurred to Lord Paget. Lord William Paget was an officer in the. navy, and, on the first impulse, had adopted that proceeding which men of honour usually have recourse to ; but he was interfered with, and he now brought the piesent action. Lord Wm. Paget, as he said before, was the second son of the Marquis of Anglesey. He was of thehighest birth, and was connected with persons of the highest rank and fortune, but he was limited in his means, so that he was not in a con dition to associate with persons 'in the same rank in that manner which it might be wished he should. He would not, therefore, be able to lay before them such a body of evi dence as would prove that Lord Wm. Paget maintained his wife in the style which it might be expected he should from his high rank, but he had no reason to doubt that he entertained the warmest affection for her, and though it might appear that he was occasionally subject to some sallies of ill-temper, yet his general conduct towards his wife was that of extreme affection. Such was the natu re of the case which it would be his duty, on th e part o f t h e plaintiff, to tender in evidence. He was aware of the town-talk to which this case had given rise, and he thought he would be best discharging his duty by simply and truly stating the facts of the case as they would be detailed in the evidence which he would lay before them. He knew he was address ing gentlemen of intelligence—gentlemen who enjoyed all the felicity of married life, and who, therefore, stood in need of no remarks of his to estimate t h e extent of the injury which had been done his client. Thaedfdoulleeeldvii! ev idence on the part of the pl a i n tiff was then James Rose, examined by Sergeant TALFourtp—l am clerk to the plaintiff's attorney in this cause. He produced the certificate of the marriage between Lord William Paget and Frances de Rottenburgh, which was solemnized on the 22d of January, in the year 1827, in the parish of Walcot, in Somersetshire. The Hon. Captain Keith, examined by Mr. WORDSWORTH am a captain in the Royal Navy. I know Lord William Paget. I was present at Bath when he was married. It was on the 22d of January, 1827.

I went to his house in conse quence. I was placed under the sofa in the back drawing, room, with the assistance of his valet. It opened into the front drawing-roam by a folding door. There was a sofa in the front drawing-room, and another in the back room. I did not see Lord Cardigan on that day ; that was on the Saturday. Lady Wm. Paget was brought down by Lord Wm. Paget. She was in the front drawing room. I heard a gentleman's voice in the front drawing room. I did not see his person on the Saturday. Lord Paget left the room after bringing his lady down ; they came down together. The gentleman whose voice I heard re mained in the front room more than an hour. The person whose voice I heard came about a quarter of an hour after Lord W. Paget left. After the person came the folding doors were closed. I communicated to Lord Paget what I heard. I went to Lord Paget on the Sunday about three o'clock. I went under the same sofa. I saw Lord Paget when I went. I saw him in the dining-room and afterwards in the drawing-room. After some time he went out. Lady Paget went out in some carriage to ride. I think it was after Lord William Paget went out. I saw Lord Car digan on that day. I was not under the sofa when Lord Cardigan came in. It was arranged that I should go under the sofa in the front parlour, but Lord Cardigan came in quite unexpectedly. I then went down, and afterwards went under the sofa in the back room. The door was shut, but it was soon, half opened by Lady Paget. I could see that the door was opened. I saw Lady Paget. She came from the front to the back parlour. The back drawing-room win dow was open. She came and closed it, and pulled down the blind. She afterwards pulled down the blind in the front parlour. The door was left open by her.. She then said, " You are come then." Lord Cardigan said, " Yes ; how do you do? Where is he, or where is Lord William ?" She said , "He is gone to Woolwich with Billy." Lady William then asked him how he liked the opera ? He said he liked it very well, but not so much as if he had been able to have closer conversation with her. Then there was a whispering. I could not distinguish the words. I distinctly heard kissing. In a moment or two they were quiet, and I heard nothing but breathing. It was hard breath ing, as people i would breathe after running. There was a creaking of boots upon the sofa. I then drew myself from underneath the sofa and along the floor till I came to the door. I peeped in and saw his Lordship's boots with the heels upon the sofa ; he was lying on his stomach. I also saw Lady William and saw that her clothes were disordered.. I saw her legs very plain. She was on the sofa. I saw her left leg. I have no hesitation in saying that there was sexual in tercourse between them. There was a conversation between them, and I crept back to my place. I then heard his Lord shipseemed to be walking about as if falling off the sofa, and h e about as if he was adjusting his dress. His Lordship then remarked, " There, that is some of the seed of misery ! ' Lady William laughed. She then came into the back parlour, pulled up the blind, and arranged the window as she found it. She then returned to the front drawing-room, and pulled up the blinds there. I cannot say whether one or two. They then appeared to sit down, •and Lady Wil liam asked him if he could not get her a situa tion for a man who was in the Post-office. Lord Cardigan asked if he were a respectable man ? Lady William said, " Oh, yes, very respectable, he is in the Post-office, and has a salary of 120/." Lord Cardigan said he could not do it, be cause he was not in very good favour with the present Ad ministration, and would not ask them for anything. She then asked if he could not do it through the influence of some no bleman, whom she mentioned. He then said he really could not do it. Lady William then said, " Oh;you ought to do so ; it is for me, and will put Lord William into good humour." Then there was whispering again, and I heard kissing. I heard the same noise as I had heard before, but I did not come from under the sofa on the second occasion. Then the conversation turned on the place where Lord William was to dine. It was said that he was going to dine with the Duke of Richmond. Lord Cardigan asked if she could not stay away, under the plea of headache, or meet him somewhere. heard some one walk across the room and do something to the blind. It was a very few minutes after they had joined each other that I heard the noise. I also heard some one go into did tsittli drawing -town, and shut down the window and do something to the blind. At twenty minutes past seven Lord Cardigan left the house, and Lady Wil liam went up to her own room to dress for dinner. She was to dine that day with the Duchess of Richmond. When the coast was clear I went to Winter. He had come out from under the sofa. He appeared heated, and we went together to communicate to Lord William Paget what he had seen. We found Lord William Paget in Berkeley-square. The communication appeared to occasion great excitement to his Lordship. He immediately returned home where Lady William was. He jumped out of the cab at the cor ner of the street. He slept in my room that evening. Be fore that he had been in the habit of sleeping with Lady William. Lady William did not go out again that night. Lord William went out that evening with a gentleman. Lady William's youngest son is 12 years of age. Frederick is at sea, and the youngest is at home. Lord William was very fond of the children. Lady William was not so fond of them. I lived with them five or six years. They did not keep much company. Lord William, generally speaking, was kind and attentive to her. He generally stayed at home of an evening, and seemed attached to his home. Cross-examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL — For some months before he had been at the White Bear, in Piccadilly, and his wife was at Portsmouth. He was there for his givens h e gave pleasure. amv ee bi H ty me here did ino n n gotoottrhde Sundayou t t n much. William's morning. r n H i ni presence.g. Lo His friends used i to a was al him,and sit and smoke of an evening. Mr. Douglas used to A rdnwoteilini visit wasso visit him. Not the Mr. Douglas that was with him in Paris. Mr. Fiske used to be frequently there. Ido not know wh at he is. Mr. Foster and his brother were there. He went down to Portsmouth several times. I never saw but one woman at the White Bear. I did not see her till the morning. He brought her home unknown. The waiter let her out. He brought her home to sleep with him. It was during the latter time that we were there. I have never known him do such a thing before or since. I told him it would be a great injury to the hotel if it was known. He said he could not t ell how he mine to do it.. He supposed he must have been tipsy, but that Bidford and myself must get her out unnoticed. He said he was sorry it had occurred. I cannot tell if this was the day before Lady 'William arrived. He told me ha had sent to Portsmouth to desire Lady Willia m to come. life did not tell me why he had done so. S he came to town on Friday, I went to meet her in Mr. Gom p ertz's carriage. He is a friend of Lord William. I have seen him at the White Bear. Ido not know that I have seen Mr. Ilyner. I have seen Capt. Canty there. I have never heard Lord William speak of Martin' de Beauville. The apartments In Queen-street had been taken a few days before for Lady William. .1 think I heard Lord William say he took them for a week. Lord and Lady William dined at the Duke of Ric hmond's on Friday. Lady William ave me a note for Lord Cardigan . there. Lord William knew Lord Cardigan was to come the re at six o'clock. I did not know at the time what Lord Cardi gan came for. I know he was at the time to be asked to get a place for a friend of Lord Cardigan's. Lord William did not tell me he had sent for Lady William to ask him. I did not know why he was sent for. I was present when Winter told Lord William Paget what he had heard on Sa turday. He told me that he had heard kissing. Lord and Lady William Paget went to the Opera that Saturday night ,in a box of Lord Cardigan's, and they slept together that night. I believe Lord William slept in his own room on Monday, but I cannot be positive. I was present during a conversation between Major Close and Lord Wil liam Paget. I did not hear Lord William say that he did not believe the story. I will not swear, but to the best of My recollection ha did not say so. I believe Lord and Lady W. Paget spent the evening together at the Duchess of Richmond's. I think the Duchess was at the house in Queen-street on the Monday. I think she came on the Sunday evening and took Lady William out in the • car riage. I will not be certain -whether she . did so on the Monday. I do not know if the Miss Closes were there on the Monday. I do not know that Major Close is dead. Lady William remained in Queen-street until Wednesday. She then went down to Portsmouth. Lord William went down there two or three days afterwards. Lord William was in the house 'when Lord Cardigan was there on the Saturday. Ile went out shortly after Lord Cardigan arrived, but I can not tell where he went to. He returned early, dined with Lady William, and went to the play. He appeared kind to her that day—just as he usually was. I have known othef Hus bands more attentive. I never knew him behave unmanly to her. I have seen her crying, and have heard him use abusive lan guage. I believe he struck her on the Saturday evening, and I sali a blackness in the eye. I had never seen that be fore. I have known him stay at the Cavendish a month, while Lady William was away. That was in 1843. He was for some months, in 1840, at Dubourg's in the Haymarket. I never saw any woman there. I cannot recollect who visited him there. I was at Brussels with Lord William and Lady William, and at Bordeaux with them also. Lady William was very intimate with the Duchess of Rich mond and Lady Conyngham, but not with the rest of Lord William's family. I never saw any of Lord William's family at the White Bear, except Lord Uxbridge, who, I believe, called once. I was with them at Mr. Hamer's. Lord William took his wife to stay there. Winter, at that time, was living with Mr. Hamer. Lord and Lady William were both there when the note to Lord Cardigan was sent. I have seen Winter with Lord William Paget a great deal ; after the trial was first settled, but not much since. I have seen him at Lord William's apartments in Oxford-street frequently. They sat down together. I have known him dine there, but not often. I suppose he came to communicate with him about the trial. He was there down to the time fixed for the trial some time since. I saw him in Oxford-street yesL terday ; he was there twice. He was in the room with. Lord William, and I think that Mr. Theed was there. No one was there when he came in the evening. He, did not dine there. I have never seen them smoking together. I have seen them walking together. It is only within this fortnight that he has come there lately. I cannot say if I have seen them walking arm in arm together, I' never observed them. I knew of clothes being got for Win ter. Lord William gave the order for them. On the Sunday Lord William was in Berkeley-square, sitting in a cab wait ing the result: < I do not know what he had done with his son. 1: think he said. -he should see Master William on board one of the steamers to Woolwich. I think Mr. Fishe met us. He was with him when Lord William went to the house. I rather think Mr. Fishe had been there in the morning. He , is very intimate with Lord William. He is in Court. He ilid. not sup there that evening. Winter supped with me. Re-examined by Sergeant TALFOURD—Lord William was in Parliament at the time he was at the White Bear, -,. and used' to tbe House of Commons. He went to Ports mouth frequently. The Baroness de Rottenburg has always been with-Lady William.. I have no reason to believe . that he ever slept with Lady William after the Sunday. By his own room I.mean the dressing-room. . Lord William had given me directions to prepare a bed ' 'elsewhere on Sa turday, but 1 persuadedltim to sleep with Lady Wil liam, as she might ? have ',some, suspicion if he did ' 'not, and he would not discover „what had taken 'place. Ido not know how they came to meet at the Duchess of. Richmond's, or what was the object of their meeting. I was 'not there. I cannot tell what the disputes to ivlali , I have ',alluded were occasioned by. He went out directly after he, had called up Lady William on the Saturday. Winter has been asked to take a piece of steak when Lord William was eating himself. Winter has never, _ b,een asked to dinner. While Lady Willia:m was at home he was always at home in the evening. Lady William had not returned from the- Continent while he was at Dubourg's. I was in attendance here when the cause was to have come on in December. Winter met Lord William and myself at Mr. Webb's, in Argyle-street, at eight o'clock in the morning. 'We set out for Guildhall, and .I. expected Winter would be here in proper time. I have not seen him since until about a fortnight ago. The Court adjourned at - two o'clock for a few minutes for refreshment. The Duke of Richmond, examined from the Bench by Sir T. WILDE—I am the brother-in-law of Lord William Paget. I have known Lord and Lady William Paget some time. I have seen him behaie very affectionately .to his wife, but sometimes not so. In general he behaved very affectionately to his wife, and particularly to his children. Cross-examined by the Soucrrou-GENERAL—I have seen him,sometimes very attentive to her, but I think his absence was too frequent. •Lady William Paget was very young at the time of her marriage. 'lie-examined by,Sir T. WILDE—Lord William was also young. He has been much straitened in circumstances, but I do not know' that his absence was occasioned by it. Cross-examined - by the SoLicrrort-GENERAL—Lady Wil liam Paget, hits visited the Duchess of Richmond since the commencement of these proceedings. The terms of intimacy are the same as they were before the occurrence. This finished the case for the prosecution. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then proceeded to address the jury for the defendant, and contended that it was impossible that any person could have-heard the evidence without being convinced that this was a scheme and a plan to extort money from Lord Cardigan, and that, to do this, the plaintiff had attempted to sacrifice the • wo man whom he had sworn to love and cherish. It was an atrocious plan concocted. from the ,beginning. Lord W. Paget brought Lord Cardigan to the house ' • he brought Lady William Paget to town ; and he made all the appointments ! What must they think of a man who could post a person to be the witness of his dishonour, wait quietly in a cab to gain intelligence, and then coolly come back to prepare this action ? , Lord William knew the character and the destitution of Wider well. He knew him when he was in Hamer's service:. He knew him in Paris. He knew him when he was living at the White Bear, associating with Mr. Gompertz, Mr. Cassidy, and Col. Canty, persons well-known. This iv as the man whavvas set by Lord William, not to watch Lord Cardigan, bid to swear what might be necessary for the purposes of the trial. This was a plan concocted between Lord William and Winter, and whom else he would not say, for his Learned Friendhad not chosen to call Mr. Fishe, who had made the agreenient with Winter. The letter to Lord Cardigan on the ' Friday had been sent, in the pre sence of Lord William. He was a party to it. Now, either Lord or Lady William Paget must have been scheming - together to put money into Lord William's pocket, or.:Lord William must have been doing it himself. Lady -William had had nothing to do with it. The charge of adultery against her was untrue, and there was no stain upon her character ; but it was evident that Lord William Paget knew by the note, that he was in the house . ep. the Saturday when Lord Cardigan arrived, and — that he led Lady William Paget into the room himself, and left her there with the person whom he now designates as an adulterer. He did not be lieve that Lord William imagined that adultery would be committed, but that he had placed a man there to swear that he saw that done which, if true, would have covered Lord William : _Paget with infamy, as the panderer to his own dishonour. Let it be remembered there was not even ,a_ suggestion that the doors of the draw ing-room were fastened, so that any person might have gone into that room While the act of adultery was being com mitted. Could pie jury believe that the act of adultery could have been committed under these circumstances—in broad daylight—in the month of August ? This man had told. Lord William Paget what he had told them to-day. Now could any one worthy of the name of man have received such a communication as Lord William had received ? He was calm, quiet, placid, and planned a fresh assignation with Lord Cardigan, in order to procure *tiler evidence, and then he dines with his wife in as kind' and affectionate a manner as usual, within one half-hour after he had been informed that she had com mitted adultery ' and then he takes his wife to the opera, to Lord Cardigan sbox, and the three spend the evening together. Could they believe for one moment that Lord William Paget really believed that adultery had been committed? It was perfectly consistent with an attempt to extort money, but not with a.belief in Lady William Paget's guilt, nor did it rest theree. He actually slept with his wife, as he say.s, At the recommendation of his footman, to prevent Lady ;William from spoiling his . plan for getting Lord Cardigan there. . The next morning a note was sent to Lord Cardigan; requesting him to come at six o'clock. Lord William knew of it, and the servants knew of it. There was neconcealment whatever about it. Lord William was perfeetly well aware of the note being sent to Lord Cardigan: 'All the parties were expecting Lord Cardigan at six o'clock, to keep an appointmen t made by Lord Millianadinself. .- - Immediately after the conclusion of the Solicitor-General's speech, the jury returned a verdict for the defendant, which Vas xeceeived with applause in Court: MONEVAND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a steady market for Cotton at Liverpool yes— terday, the trade buying very fairly. Speculators took 80Cts bales Surat, and 1,200 American ; 1,300 bales Surat realised. 4d. to 5d., 50 Egyptian, Bd. to 84d., and the rest American, et 514 d. to Bd. for New Orleans.—ln Shares business to a fair ex tent was done, and for some stock higher rates were paid. There Was a serious failure among the speculators, but the part, is expected to pay. Chester and. Holyhead were 5%; Grans Junction, 225 ; Harwich, 2# ; Liverpool and Manchester,. 221; Birmingham, 228 ; South Western, Eighths, 31.65. 3d. r Manchester and Brmingham, 40% ; Paris and Orleans, 321, ditto and Rouen, 32i ; Sheffield and Manchester, 71i ; and South Eastern, New, 37. There is rather an increased demand for money in the City this morning, and we hope that it is in consequence of requiremements for the purposes of trade and comm'ece . We are happy to find that the year 1843, comparatively' shows a very gratifying increase in the comforts of the pep, pie. In 1842 the quantity off sugar consumed was 3,876,44°. cwts., in 1843 4,045,181 cwts. • of coffee the consumption int 1842 was 28,567,157 lbs., in 1843 30,031,606 lbs.; of tea, hajdut 1842, the consumption was 37,389,576 lbs., and in 1843 it increased to 40,302,981 lbs. ; showing an incre,ase of nearly three million pounds. In spirits there_ has been a slight increase in the consumption 01. rum, but a very considerable decrease in the consumption s' brandy, which we would hope has arisen from an improver' anent in the drinking habits of the more respectable classes. The total exports declared in 1842 were valued ar , - 40,785,3501., in 1843 at 44,720,5631. We are indebted to the circular of Messrs. Franks and Millard for these facts. The Express news from Paris, that the Cabinet of Louie Philippe does not approve of the conduct of the French Ad miral, in dethroning Queen Pomare and taking possession ,of Tahiti has afforded much satisfaction in the City this morning, but the Funds have not been firmer in conseqence.
