The conduct of the Duke of BORDEAUX in this country does not tend to raise the BOURBON race in public estimation. Every Englishman at first , welcomed him as an unfortunate exile fromi France ; his sad lot, and the sufferings of his family for three generations, called forth thee sympathy of every Renerous heart, and all, from: the SOVEREIGN to the peasant, would have been: anxious to pay a due tribute to his reproachless , life, and his position, as the last remnant of a. ROyal Family that had performed a great part: for ages in the affairs of the world. But when he assumed the character ofa Pretender, when he en couraged the relics of the old bigoted and cowardly noblesse to come in crowds to England, and, j taking ed., antage of her liberal institutions , to j raise a standard which he could have done in no other European State (with the exception of Hanover), he was classed among the incorrigible despots who would rule by divine right, and set: l the people at defiance. Lows PUILIPPE MIS; 't elected Svereign of France almost unanimously I . ,i) —if there were any dissentients they belonged to the part who had not the courage to express their sentiments, and who have now come over in shoals to pay court to the Duke of BOR DEAUX as HENRY V. It is unfair to make England the scene of such an exhibition. England had done and suffered much for the BOURBONS ; but on finding them, from the blind folly of CHARLES X., and the puerile conduct of his son, utterly irreclaimable, even the Tory Government of WELLINGTON at once cast them off. What madness now to make an attempt to resuscitate the worn-out dynasty, and at the same time, by glaring indiscretion, to offend a State that had done more than all others to restore them to the throne ? Were he not as blind as any of his fatuity, he would see, that if a revolution take place in France, it will not be in favour of the young HENRY. Young France and Old France, too, are sick of masses and monks and Catholic bigotry ; the fatal impressions made by the his tory of the last hundred years have sealed his fate, and the revival of the CAPETS is as hopeless as that of the STUARTS. True to the character of the family, he yields when it is too late. He left Brighton privately—he has remained for some days in private at Belgrave-square, and he has made his escape privately to some part of the country. Even the loyal chronicler of his move ments leaves us to guess what is become of him. The same journal has accurately recorded how often he attended mass, as if that religious cere mony would raise him in the estimation of Frenchmen. At the Central Criminal Court, on Friday last, a fellow named JONES was tried for stealing a horse and cab. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had hired them of him, on the Ist of August last, on the.plea that be was going to Hampton, and should return in the evening; but when the evening came, he was "reported missing," and, what was worse, the horse and cab were missing also, and he had never since been able to recover them. A witness, who described himself as a horse-dealer, deposed that on the 3d of last August JONES offered him the horse for sale; the price lie set upon it was fifteen pounds, but after a good deal of " hag gling," lie consented to accept nine pounds, which the witness accordingly gave him for the animal. In summing up the case, the Common- Sergeant—who must be a very common Sergeant indeed—" told the jury that they must look to the original intent of the prisoner. The ques tion was, did he, when he hired the horse and chaise, intend to convert them to his own use; or, having obtained possession, was he suddenly tempted by the Devil to do it ? Should they be of the latter opinion, the felony was not made out !" We have often been told that the Devil interferes much more than is credit able or agreeable in mundane affairs; but this is the first time, we believe, that his mischievous interference has been formally recognised in a court of law, and a deliberate act of felony pronounced to be no felony, in conse quence of such Satanic intermeddling. We now have it broadly stated, on the authority of a grave and important legal functionary, that if a prisoner be " suddenly tempted by the Devil " to enact the part of a conveyancer with a gen tleman's watch and seals, levant with his horse, abruptly vanish with his pocket-book, or commit any other felonious offence, he is not to be con sidered guilty, because—and here we have the convenient Socialist doctrine brought into play— " he is the victim of circumstances over which he had no control." It is not he that is the criminal. He is the mere involuntary agent of a superior Power. The Devil is the arch-offender, and he—and he only—must be held amenable at law. Pleasant decision this, and one that cannot fail to be specially agreeable to all the various candidates for Old Bailey honours! Imagine, for instance, a clever young "artful Dodger "—such as DICKENS has pourtrayed in " Oliver Twist"—who bids fair to become a credit to the profession, and to excite the envy and admiration of all the " Fagins" about town —imagine, we say, such a genius tried at the Central Criminal Court for absconding with an eldeely gentleman's pocket-handkerchief; and, when asked what he has to say in his defence, urging that the act was purely involuntary on his part—that, in fact, he could not help himself, being suddenly tempted by the Devil to "bolt with the old cove's wipe." He made every attempt at resistance in his power, but Satan was too strong for him, and needs must when the Devil drives. Of course the Common-Sergeant —should lie • happen to be on the bench at the time—would recognise the validity of this defence, and the young artist would most likely be let loose again on society, to undergo similar temptations whenever an opportunity of plunder occurred. " Sud denly tempted by the Devil I" The phrase is a most convenient one, every way cal culated to bring balm to uneasy consciences, and redoncile a scoundrel to the commission of any deed, no matter how atrocious. Should a man, for instance, feel disposed to walk off with his neighbour's wife—to forge his name to a bank bill—to set his house on fire—or commit a burglary on his goods and chattels—what more easy for him than to stifle the stern upbraidings of remorse, by the accommodating reflection that he is " suddenly tempted by the Devil." We have no doubt that GREENACRE was thus "tempted," when he left his mangled victim's trunk in a field at Camberwell, and carried her head, wrapped up in a towel, in an omnibus to White chapel ; consequently, on the Common-Ser geant's showing, he ought to have been acquitted of the murder! In the political world this plea of " sudden temptation" is calculated to be of not less comfort and convenience than in the law courts; and accordingly, we strongly recommend the Whigs and Sir JAMES GRAHAM to plead it iu justification of the marriage clauses in their Poor-law Bill, for it will relieve them of a load of inconvenient responsibility, by enabling them to cheat themselves, and the credulous public, into a belief that they were not free agents in the matter. The late meeting at Oxford to form a public cemetery in the neighourbood of the city, ex cites some sad reflections. There is no fairer way of testing the truth of any set of religious opinions, than by examining their practical in fluence upon the every-day affairs of mankind. ' Those principles which when reduced to prac tice are found to be inimical to the common in terests of our species, may rightly enough be con sidered bad ; and, on the other hand, when the real substantial welfare of human beings is pro moted, we may be quite certain that there is no thing very unsound in the religious system by means of which this good has been achieved. Puseyism claims our homage, and the profes sors of the modern creed insist most pragmati cally upon the divine origin of what they in culcate ; but if we decide upon the merits of the system by the conduct of those who preach it, we imagine we shall not be long in arriving at a very unfavourable opinion of what is presented to our notice. Oxford is the quarter whence these dogmas have arisen, and it is, therefore, well to direct our eyes thi ther occasionally for illustrations of the theolo gical system. The recent proceedings in reference to the establishment of a public cemetery at Oxford, supply us with some means of ascer taining the sentiments of the Tractarian clergy, when a great public good is under consideration. The need of such accommodations as public cemeteries we take to be so evident that we shall not undertake to demonstrate it to our readers. The old system o allowing our dead 'to be buried in church-yards, placed in the most densely populated parts of our most densely populated towns and cities, for a long time escaped all attention, excited no fears, and, therefore, met with no opposition. It was not even suspected that the noxious vapours emitted from putrid human bodies might exercise an in jurious influence upon Abe health of those resid ing in the neighbourhood of the church-yards wherein the" were deposited. Fevers, malaria of various kinds, and the long train of disorders which it is now ascertained owe their existence purely to this cause, were then imputed to irresistible agencies, which human folly or human superstition had no hand in producing. Hence we went on in our absurd and most in sane habit of crowding charnel houses with the victims of our weakness, and they, in turn, con tributed to the prevalent evil. But now we are beginning to know better. Sad experience has taught us the folly and danger of going on piling dead bodies, as though they were merchandise, in the neighbourhood of our dwellings; and there appears to be a general desire abroad to reform what hitherto has been done so shamefully amiss. At this crisis, however, the friends of im provement have an opponent to contend with—an opponent powerful, resolute, and ' energetic; and yet, strange to say that very opponent ought to be a most zealous and ef fective ally. The Church—the Establishment which has been called the Poor Man's Church— appears to be most determined in her opposition to the scheme for improving, by means of public cemeteries, the health of our population. And the party in the Church which has shown itself foremost in this array is the party which is called Puseyite. At Oxford, on the occasion to which we have been referring, the Tractarian clergy mustered all their local influence, with the view of either crushing the scheme of forming a cemetery, or else of carrying out their project, by rendering it a cemetery for purely sectarian purposes. How little, how puerile, how paltry this interference with the sacred privileges of the dead! The grave has been re garded as the sanctuary from all the strifes and animosities which too much agitate us frail mor tals while passing through this brief and most perplexing scene. Why, then, convert it into a source for perpetuating what already, to a re flective mind, must appear far too enduring? Surely, when we see a religious system incul cating such principles as this conduct evinces, we may well regard it with suspicion ; and how ever much its professors plume themselves upon their honesty, simplicity, and devotion to truth, we may, without want of charity, exclaim, how contrary is such conduct to everything which Christianity enjoins ? The Madrid papers of the 4th instant bring no intelligence of interest. On the previous day Mr. BULWER, the British Minister, delivered his credentials to the QUEEN, and thus addressed her MAJESTY : " The Queen, my Sovereign, in accrediting me to your Majesty, charged me with the honourable mission of cultivating the intimate relations which have so long subsisted between the two countries. I indulge the hope that it will net be difficult for me to accomplish that task, if I succeed in deserv ing the august approbation of your Majesty, since the most ardent desire of the Government of her Britannic Majesty is, that Spain may daily increase in power and prosperity, and that your Majesty may reign many years with glory and hap• piness over a noble people, whose name is so renowned in his tory, and whose profound veneration for the Crown of your Majesty and the proud spirit of national independence hive ever inspired my countrymen with the most lively sentiments of esteem and admiration." The QUEEN replied— " Nothing could be more grateful to me than the sentiments of friendship for my person and esteem for the Spanish people which you have just expressed to me in the name of my dearest ally the Queen of Great Britain, and certainly the expression of those sentiments could not be conveyed to me by a mere worthy and commendable interpreter. I flatter myself that your missi•n will be crowned with success ; that the ties of amity and good un des standing now existing between the two Governments will be daily more closely drawn, that the kind feeling and frank assist ance which Spain has always experienced from Great Britain, her constant ally, will augment the sympathies of the two na tions, and that our debt of gratitude and respect fur the magna nimous English nation will increase every day." The Three per Cents. were done at 241, at sixty days, and the Five per Cents. at 181, at sixty days. The French Government seems determined at all hazards to put down the Carlist press in France. Four Legitimist journals have lately been seized by the police, the editors :of two of them have been tried, convicted by a jury (though only by a simple majority), and con demned to fine and imprisonment. On the 9th instant, as stated yesterday, the editor of the Gazette de France was fined 6,000 f. (2401.), and ordered to be imprisoned for two years. The accused was charged in the indictment with adhering to another form of government, with exciting its readers to hate and despise the pre sent system, and attacking the principles and form of government established in 1830. The case of the Quotidienne was next tried, the in dictment being nearly in the same words. The jury retired for an hour and a half, and returned a verdict of guilty on four of the counts, but only by a simple majority, which means that the vote of one juror decided the verdict. The editor, M. VAUGRIGNEUSE, was sentenced to pay a fine of B,ooof. (3201), and be imprisoned for one year. These sentences are generally regarded as extremely severe; and when it is recollected that the results are the fruits of theSepteinber laws, in this country there can be but one opinion on the subject. The Quotidienxe makes these remarks on the trial, and the severity of the sentence : " Brought before a jury on a prosecution con sisting of five counts, the Quotidienne has been condemned by a simple majority on all of them, and acquitted on the subsidiary questions. We can therefore say that it is the laws of September which have condemned us, and that, under the old system of legislation, our acquittal would have been complete. Nothing proves better the character of the trial than the union of numbers of the journal, not at first proceeded against, and afterwards included, in order to swell out the accusation. Another circumstance must sur prise the public—namely, the severity of the sentence, after a decision founded on a simple majority in the jury. We respect the justice of our country, but we must take into considera tion, as public opinion will do, the circumstances in which this condemnation has been pro= flounced !" The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies appointed to draw up the Address, have con cluded their labours, and it was to be read to them by the Reporter (President) yesterday. It appears the Messager• committed an error in stating that M. BIONON had been appointed to the situation. The reporter chosen was M. ST. MARC GIRARDIN. The Committee had ap proved of the Speech from the Throne by a ma jority of 8 to 2, and had resolved upon inserting a paragraph in the Address in favour of Poland, as in former years. The debate upon the Address was to commence on Monday next. BOURSE—PARIS, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 10. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

THAMES TUNNEL.—Last night there was quite a gala under the Thames, a body of mem attired in full ancient regalia, with pikes, drawn swords, banners and three bands of music, comprising a society called the " Knights of Bur gundy," having marched through, en route to their destination. The noise produced by so many instruments playing at the same time under the bed of " Old Father Thames," was of a most stunning description, and reverberated from arch to arch along the whole structure. The Right Hon. Richard Pakenham, her Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary to the United States, left the Brunswick Hotel, Jermyn-street, yesterday (by the Great Western Rail way), for Devonport, where a frigate is in readiness to convey his Excellency and numerous suite to New York, en route to Washington, SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vniatr Optitton. " Who runs may read." VOR.EIGN. The editor of another Legitimist Paris journal, the Quoti dienne, has been condemned to pay a fine of 3201., and be im prisoned for twelve months, on a charge of bringing the Go vernment into contempt. Their Majesties rece►ved on Monday evening Marshal Soult, the Minister of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Duke de Plaisance, the Baron and Baronets de Mareuil, M. Petit de Bantel, M. Merilhou, the Countess de Castellane, and the Viscountess d'Haussonville. The Finance Minister had announced that he would bring forward the budget on Saturday, the 14th. A Madrid j ,urnal, the Espectader of the 4th, states that the Cabinet have resolved on the disarmament of the whole of the national militia throughout the kingdom, and that the Captains-General of the provinces have been already com manded to put this order into execution. The Chamber of Commerce and Muncipal Council of Bor deaux have guaranteed in moieties the interest upon the 6,000,000 f., to be raised at Bordeaux, towards the formation of the two lines of railroad from BordeaUx to Angouleme and from Orleans to Tours. Some days ago the subscriptions amounted to 4,600,000 f. Of this amount the Mayor of Bor deaux subscribed 100,000 f. A young man from Mezamat ( Tarn) took up his residence a short time since at the Hotel de la Croix-de-Alalte at Mar seilles, and incurred a debt of '200f., which he was unable to pay. Being requested to choose another lodging, he exclaimed, that "if they turned him out he should kill himself." He was allowed to remain a few days longer, and on being again urged to depart, he ran ap stairs to his room, and blew his brains out. The Rh6ne of Lyons states that influenza is very general in that city. No disturbance had yet been heard of in the provinces, and Madrid continued tranquil, although 16 members of the Ayun tamiento had resigned in consequence of the new municipal decree. The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort announces that the king of Bavaria has dismissed from the office of Censor the State Councillor de Lobell, for the severity with which be ex ercised his functions, and has appointed in his place M. Doren berger, a literary man, well known for the independence of his opinions and the moderation of his character. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Advertiser, alluding to the legal preliminaries connected with the Irish State prosecutions, says :—" It ap pears that, after the Recorder of Dublin had made out the list of yersons qualified to serve on the panel, consisting of 780 persons, he handed it to the High Sheriff, and immediately afterwards proceeded to Drayton Manor, on a visit to Sir R. Peel. When the High Sheriff arranged the names in alpha betical order, it was found that the' number on the list was only 717, being a reduction from the original list of 63. The ques tion comes to be, how is this reduction to be accounted for? Who is the responsible party for the omission of the b 3 names —a majority of ti.hom, be it remembered, were Roman Catho lics? The blame and the responsibility attach either to the Recorder or the High Sheriff ; it is for them to settle the matter between them. The most generally received version is, that the slips, when the list was alphabetically arranged, were sent over from Dublin to Drayton Manor to be authenticated by the Recorder, and that he omitted to return the slips con taining the names of the missing jurors. Assuming this ver sion of the matter to be the correct one, the omission may have been accidental ; but when all the circumstances connected with the extraordinary proceedings, from first to last, in refe rence to these trials, are taken into consideration, does it not look like the result of something else than accident ?" The Herald remarks, in an article on public cemeteries : " Kensal-green Cemetery, popularised by the burial of the late Duke of Sussex, has subsequently, we are informed, become a very paying speculation; and in every direction, other trading burial grounds are springing up around the metropolis, over which the public authorities have no control, and in which the Church has no interest, and from which the poor, and conse quently the many, are excluded. The institution of really public cemeteries on a comprehensive plan would ruin these places as mercantile enterprises, and would gradually bring back to the Church, in London and the greater towns, the now rapidly-receding tide of interment. The latter is by no means a merely speculative opinion ; experience has already proved that such would be the case." The Chronicle says There are few things more amusing than the unblushing effrontery with which the Tory press, or rather what remains of the Tory press, are contemplating the present aspect of affairs. They commend Lord Ellenborough for conquests, which would hare been criminal in Lord Auck land. They eulogise treaties which would have brought an impeachment on Lord Palmerston. They congratulate them selves on the augmentation of a revenue, which their own ob structive policy has been keeping for several years below zero ; and, in total disregard of the condition of Ireland, and the State proceedings now impending, they laud and magnify the Go vernment for restoring repose and tranquillity to our distracted empire ! But what are the proofs of this ambiguous peace, where the evidence of this ambiguous tranquillity ? In our Foreign-office it is preserved by capitulations, at home by mi litary force. We treat the Irish as if they were foreigners , we treat foreigners as if they were our countrymen." We quote the following from the Times :—" We have before us a very successful exposé of A Joint. stock Building Society Bubble,—by John Bowen. . The Society in question is located at Bridgewater, and calls itself the • Bridgewater Accumulating Fund and Building Society.' Mr. Bowen has an indubitable nose for a job, and shakes his victim merci lessly. There is no mistake about it. The primary design of this Society professes to be semi-charitable—so very knowin; and refined are we become in the art of humbug ; it is to enable persons who want capital to borrow money at an easy rate. A person who wants money is invited to buy one, two, or more shares in this concern. He gives up the premium which would fall to him in course of time, if he waited, for the sake of so much ready money, with which the society supplies him instead; and he simply clears off his debt to the society by the monthly payment of his shares, spreading over a period of ten years, which is the calculated time of the duration of the society. A tabular explanation is given, and it is proved arithmetically how very advantageous such a plan as the proposed one must be to the borrower. Very fair and very good; but now we come to the lender. The so ciety consists of two sides,—borrowers and lenders ; it does not profess to trade with its money ; so all the advantage that it gives is simply derived from the money as it passes, within itself, from one side of the society to the other. Accordingly, if the borrower is benefited it must be at the expense of the lender." _ _ LA W AND POLICE. At the Sheriffs Court the following outlawries were pro claimed :—Thomas Hawkes, James Mills, Sarah Louisa Lane, George De la Poer Beresford, Edward Walpole, Charles James Vynery, Edward Tucker, Mary Parer, Henry Whittaker, John Hunter, Samuel B amford Homer, Henry Mirrick Elder ton, George Woolly Boole, Sir Henry Floyd, Bart., William Millett Thomas, William Pyne, George Scott, John Bird, and Charles Hon.

SPLENDID STAG HUNT WITII MR. POLE'S HARIERS. —Mr. Pole's excellent little pack of hariers had a capital run yesterday, the meet taking place at the Windmill, White Wal tham, Berks, at which a field of between 50 and GO were pre sent. A fine deer upon being uncarted at Weston Mill, about two miles from White Waltham, made away to the left of Bin field Church, through the park, where it ran a circle round the mansion, crossing the lawn to the Stag and Hounds, Bin field, thence to the Golden Ball, at Bracknell, where it doubled to the left between Bracknell and Warfield to the park of Sir John Walsh, and thence away to Holly Oak-lane, crossing to New Lodge. through Folijohn Park, where it doubled again to the right by Winkfield Church, leaving the church to the right, when it took to the road by the Fleur-de-lis up to the Crispin, within about a mile of the Royal Kennel, and was there taken, after a run, at a tremendous pace from the com mencement, of two hours and a quarter, over between 20 and 30 miles of very heavy land, without a singe check. Mr. Pole, who met with an accident while following Sir John Cope's hounds a fortnight since, was not sufficiently recovered from its effects to proceed throughout the run.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. A very scanty supply of English Wheat has been received up to our market since l‘londay, consequently the stands to-day exhibited but a limited number of samples. Although no great amount of business was transacted the trade was firm at fully the late advance in prices. Foreign Wheat was quite as dear, and previous rates were steadily supported. The supplies of Barley being large, the demand for all, except the finest malting parcels, was heavy at late currencies. Malt came sparingly to hand; but in the present state of the Barley trade we can no tice no advance in the quotations. The supply of Oats being large, the inquiry for that article, as well as leans, Peas, and Flour, was kactive at barely stationary prices. ARRIVALS. I Wheat.

Some business has been done privately in nearly Ml descriptions admissible for home consumption at corresponding prices, but the transactions have not been ex tensive.

The business reported since our last has been confined to about 400 chests brown Bahia; for refining in bond at 17s 3d. Refined Crushed is still held firmly at 26s to 26s 6d. Grocery descriptions continue in good demand, and a fair business has been done at gradually advancing prices. COFFEE. -- The public sales have contained 695 bags Ceylon, 182 packages of Mocha, 1,743 bags East India, and 2,419 bags Costa Rica, all of which went off very heavily, and were nearly all taken in at about previous prices; mid coloury Ceylon at 80s to 805 6d; mid to good clean garbled illocha at 70s to 76s ; good to fine ord Manilla at 37s to 39s 6d; good to fine ord Singapore Java at 32s to 345, fine ord greenish Mysore (subject to 4d per lb duty) at 80s; and fine ord brown to low mid coloury Costa Rica at 40s to 70s 6d, but chiefly at 52s to 60s for fine to fine fine erd.

THE HAGUE, JAN. 9.—Yesterday evening, about 6 o'clock, by the carelessness of a servant, a window curtain in the hotel of his Excellency the Minister of Marine, in' the Vorhout, caught fire. The flames spread with such rapidity that they could not be extinguished, and the Minister could not think of saving anything but his family. flhe several engines were im mediately on the spot; the conflagration increased in such a manner that it was feared for some time that the building Diligentia would also be destroyed. Happily the progress of the flames in that direction was stopped, and then the firemen were able to act entirely in order to save at least a part of the hotel of the Marine deparment. At one o'clock this terrible fire was subdued, but not till it had consumed the half of that fine building, containing all the navy offices, including the whole of the portion occcupied by the Minister. As soon as the fire was seen from the Palace, the King, with his aides-de-camp, repaired to the spot, and was soon joined by his three sons and Prince Frederick. The presence of his Majesty and the Princes greatly contributed to encourage the zeal of the firemen. The Princes displayed great courage, and exposed themselves in such a manner as to excite the appre hension of his Majesty, who did not return to his Palace till all fears of the further spret ding of the fire had ceased. —Journal du Commerce d' Anvers, Jan. 11. BRUSSELS, JAN. 9.—The average Brice of wheat during the week ending on the 6th of January, was 17f. 71c., and that of rye, 11 f. 25c. per hectoli're. The i.nport duty, therefore, remains the same as last week, 37f. 50e. on wheat, and 21f. 50c. on rye, per 1,000 kilogrammes. The export duty on both is 25 centimes. M. Rochussen, the Ambassador at the Netherlands, is gone for a few days to the Hague. The wind, which had blown for above a month from the S.S. W., having turned to the N.

THE REMNANT OF A FORMER AGE.—Died, ttt Ilfracombe, on the Bth inst., Mrs. Robina Craig Millar, daugh ter of the late celebrated Dr. Cullen, of Edinburgh, aged N. _ _ THE DUKE OF BORDEAUX.—H.IS Itopd Highness, attended by several members of his suite, arrived at the Ship Tavern, Woolwich, at five o'clock P.M. on Wednesday, in his own private carriage, drawn by post horses. His Royal Highness and suite dined and remained during the night at the Ship Tavern, and at ten o'clock A. m. yesterday proceeded to the Royal Arsenal, and visited the foundry, laboratory, and carriage, and other departments, ever which he was con dncted by the authorities and heads of the various establish ments. At a quarter before twelve o'clock the Duke of, Bordeaux visited the Ordnance Hospital, and afterward. the riding establishment, under the charge of Captain Wing field ; the Royal Horse Artillery, and their stables and bar rack-rooms, under the charge of Lieutenant-Colonel Cobbe. On leaving the Horse Artillery-square, his Royal Highness, accompanied by Major-General Sir Hew D. Ross, K.C.B , Brigade-Major Cuppage, and several officers, entered the mess-room, and partook of refreshments. The Duke of Bor deaux afterwards visited the library of the non-commissioned officers of the Royal Artillery, the guard-room, and one of the barrack-rooms, and then proceeded to view the rotunda and repository grounds. On entering the rotunda his Royal High ness was accompanied round that interesting establishment by Colonel Paterson, and seemed greatly pleased with the models and specimens of arms contained in it, and at half-past one o'clock proceeded to the dockyard. Captain Sir Francis Col lier, C. 8., and K. C. H., Captain Vidal, of the Styx steam vessel, and Commander Smith, and several of the heads of the departments, accompanied the Duke of Bordeaux over the exten sive naval depot. The first place visited was the machine-rooms for planing and turning brass and iron, and the powerful mills for rolling and perforating iron of considerable thickness. His Royal Highness also visited the model and fini,h ing lofts, and appeared to be very conversant with the nature and uses of the various objects on which the workmen were engaged. After leaving the machinery department the Duke of Bordeaux preceeded to the slip on which the Royal Al bert, first-rate ship-of-war of 120 guns, is in progress of con struction, and remained about ten minutes admiring the mag nitude of the dimensions and large timbers in this splendid vessel. On leaving the Royal Albert his Royal Highness went on board the Sulphur, fitted up as an engineer depot, under the charge 'of Commander Smith, and appeared gratified on inspecting the drawings of a number of the young men under instruction in the principles of steam machinery as adapted to naval purposes. The Duke of Bordeaux afterwards inspected the keel of the Samson, a fine first-class ,eteam-vessel, recently laid down, and the new dock in, which the Sydeoham is undergoing re pair. After a abort inspection of the smiths' shop, his Royal Highness went on board the Warrior hulk, and exa mined the manner in which she is fitted up fur the accommoda tion of about 600 eonviets employed in the dockyard, and ap peared surprised to witness the superior cleanliness of every part of the vessel, and with the table of allowances of victuals to that unfortunate class. On leaving the convict-ship Captain Vidal drew his Royal Highness's attention to the boat in which Captain Ross returned from his memorable North Pole expe dition; The Duke of Bordeaux partook of some refreshment with Captain Sir Francis Collier previous to leaving the clock yard, and returned to London with his suite shortly after three o'clock. His Royal Highness had every attention paid to him during his visit consistent with his incognito as Monsieur le Due de Bordeaux,. LAW INrnir-i'T T "PNTCTO 4 QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) BIRD V. JONES. The plaintiff in this case was an attorney, residing at Ham mersmith, and the defendant. the Secretary to the Hammer smith-I3ridge Com;atiy. The act:nn was brought to recover compensation for an alleged assault and false imprisonment. The plaintiff, it apueared, vc as on Hammersmith-bridge on the day of the Thames Regat , a, and insisted on going within a certain portion of the footpath which had been enclosed and let out at 2s. 6d. per seat to persons to view the regatta. He went over, and defendant followed him ; an altercation ensued, which terminated in the defendant. giving the plaintiff into custody on a charge of assatt:t. The Magistrate be:ore whom the case was heard, dismissed it, and the plaintiff then brought his action. The cave was tried before Lord Denman, at the last sittings after term, and the verdict was for plaintiff, damages BM Mr. THESIGER this morning moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the ground of misdirection of the Learned Judge.—Rule granted. THE QUEEN V. GRIIISIIAW.—QUO WAYMANTO. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved for a rule calling on the defendant to show cause why a quo warranto should not issue calling upon him t. show by what authority he claimed to ex ercise the office of Coroner of the borough of Wigan. It ap peared that, according to the Act of Parliament, the person holding the office of Coroner was to hold it during good be haviour. In the year 1836, Mr. Rogerson had been appointed Coroner by the Town-Council. In November, IS-12, a change had taken place in the Town-Council, and in consequence of that change, the Council had removed Mr. Rogerson, and sub stituted Mr. Grimshaw in his place. Both these gentlemen had continued to exercise the office since November, 1842. It was true that her Majesty had by letters patent granted a Court of Quarter Sessions to the borough of Wigan, but the appointment of Mr. Rogerson had been made before the date or that patent. Mr. Rogerson had been in office more than six years, therefore no quo warranto could be obtained against him, and lie could not be removed except by a quo warranto. —Rule nisi granted. CROWNER'S QUEST LAW"-THE QUEEN V. W. HANNON' AND OTHERS. Mr. PLATT moved for a rule nisi to quash an inquisition on the body of Uilliam Knott, on the following grounds—first, that the jury had signed a blank parchment, on which the Ending had been subsequently written ; secondly, that the in. quest was stated in one part of the inquisition to have been held on the body of Wm. Knott, and in another on that of Wm. Knox : and thirdly, that in the inquisition it was stated that the inquest had been held by a county Coroner, while the same party had signed the inquisition as " Deputy Coroner." Rule granted. (If this is to be taken as a specimen of the manner in which Deputy Coroners conduct the public business, it is not surpris ing that they should be so anxious to exclude reporters, and to report their proceedings themselves. ) BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) THE QUEEN V. LORD GODOLPHIN AND ANOTHER, MAC'S- TRATES OF THE COUNTY OF CAMBRIDGE. Mr. GUNNING applied to the Court in this case for a man damus to compel the defendants to allow a certain rate to he made for the relief of the poor of the parish of Cottenham, in the county of Cambridge, en the Bth of December last. The ground on wr,ich the magistrates refused was, that the rate was not signed by either of the churchwardens of the parish. It appears that the churchwardens were appointed, but they were not sworn in, nor was it usual to swear them in for the last five or six years. He apprehended that the magistrates could only arrive at the knowledge which induced, them to re fuse the rate by judicial process, which this Court would not allow.—Rule granted. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY) (Sittings in Banco.) LACKINGTCN V. HETHERINGTON. Ibis was an action by the assignees of a bankrupt to recover the value of a quantity of deals purchased by the defendant from the bankrupt since the issue of the fiat. Upon the trial the facts were admitted, but the defendant having pleaded that there was no bill of delivery, Mr. Justice Creswell, before whom the cause was tried, held that this was fatal to the plain tiff's case, and accordingly directed a nonsuit to be entered, subject to a motion to enter for the plaintiffs, should the Court above differ from his Lordship's opinion. Mr. Sergeant CHANNEL this day obtained a rule nisi to en ter for the plaintiffs in damages 2501. JOHNSON AND ANOTHER V. EVANS AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the assignee of a bankrupt against the Sheriffs of London and their officer, for illegal seizure and wrongful approisiation of goods in the possession of the bankrupt, but legally the property of the assignees and pe•- titioning creditor. The verdict was for the plaintiffs, and last term Mr. Sergeant Bompas obtained a rule nisi for a new trial, against which Mr. Sergeant Byles showed cause, when the further argument was postponed to the present term. Mr. Sergeant Bomras this day replied in su; port of the rule, and their I....rdships took time to conider judgment. The Learned Sergeant's argument was confined entirely to tire legal points, and scarcely touched upon the tacts of the case, which were fully reported last term. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLERKENWELL-(THIS DAY.) A cabman, named Hurley, was charged with the following outrageous conduct :-- It appeared, from the evidence, that, on the previous night, the prisoner violently assaulted a man, named Bodkin, in Compton-place, for which he was given into custody. On his way to the station, and while in the charge-room, he struck the constable who held him, 30 E, a violent blow on the face, and pulled the hair out of his head. The officer called for help, and 99 E came to his assistance. When the prisoner saw the latter officer he rushed upon him, felled him to the ground, and kicked him in the face, causing several marks of violence. At length he was secured and removed to the cell. Sergeant Lester, 10 E, said he never witnessed roore violence by any person. He kicked at the cell door, and continued doing so until three o'clock in the morning, alarming not only the other prisoners but the whole of the neighbourhood, from the reverberation of the echoes. The prisoner not being able to pay any fine, was sentenced by Mr. Combe to seven clap' imprisonment in the House of Correction. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY:) Thomas Sergeant, a man about forty years of age, of very respectable appearance, was charged with robbing his em ployers. For between seven and eight years past the prisoner had been in the employ of Messrs. Tuckers, Smith, and Co., of 18, South'Audley-street, Grosvenor-square, and at Kensington, wax tallow-chandlers, as confidential clerk. For a very con siderable time past the firm had been convinced that they were from time to time being robbed of money from the till to a very considerable amount ; but as several of the servants had access to it, they were at a loss whom in particular to suspect, the in tegrity of the prisoner being in their estimation beyond sus picion, between 70,000!. and 80,000/. passing through his hands yearly. Latterly, however, circumstances transpired which induced a strict observance of the prisoner's movements, and yesterday evening, between five and six o'clock, three marked sovereigns and 40s. in silver were ;placed in the till, at the time when no one but the prisoner was in the shop. Police-constable, No. 179 of the A division, who was placed on the watch, saw the prisoner take some money from the till, and put it into his pocket, and presently after wards it was ascertained that one sovereign and 18s., of the marked money were missing. To account for this deficiency, the prisoner had made a false entry in the day-book, as having purchased wax pieces and scrapings to that amount ; and this system the firm had since ascertained, he has been carrying on for a very considerable period, on some days making false entries of the purchase of goods to between 3/. and 4/., and taking the amount out of the till. The extent to which the firm had been sufferers it was impossible to discover. On the prisoner being questioned by Mr Smith, one of the firm, as to the purchase he alleged he had made that evening, he re plied, You seem to know all about it, I shall say nothing." Orr being searched the marked money was found in his posses sion, and also a cheque for 27/. 10s., two 5/. Bank of England notes, one sovereign and a halt in gold, gold watch, appen. &e. "lie was remanded until Thursday next, to allow tine to bring forward other charges against him. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) John Brown, the driver of a cab, was charged with stealing a trunk, containing valuable property of Miss Smith, of Bruns wick. square. The complainant engaged a cab at the terminus of the Great Western Railway, in which she placed her luggage, consisting of three trunks, containing valuable property. On alighting at her residence two of the trunks were delivered, but the third was driven away with by the cabman. The complainant un fortunately did not take the number of the cab, but trom the description given of it, as well as that of the driver, the pri soner was taken into cu.tody. The complainant added, that the voice of the prisoner resembled that of the man who drove the vehicle. The prisoner, however, denied the accusation ; but admitted he was engaged at the above terminus. Mr. COTTINCHAM said he should remand the prisoner, but would tale bail—himself in 401., and two sureties of 2W. each.

SERIOUS ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon, about five o'clock, ass gentleman, named Welland, residing at Hamp stead, was driving in his cab along the Hampstead-road, ac companied by a young lady whom we understood to be his daughter, the horse, a high-spirited animal, took fright at a parcel of boys dressed up as Christmas mummers, and started off with terrific speed in the direction of Hampstead, and Mrs Welland having lost all command over the horse, in passing a coal waggon the off-wheel of the cab ran with fearful vio lence against it, precipitating Mr. Welland and his daughter to the ground. Mr. Welland fortunately escaped with a few slight bruises ; but the young lady received such severe in juries, that it is extremely doubtful whether she will survive. She was picked up insensible, and, together with her father, conveyed home in a street cab. The horse, a most valuable one, was fortunately stopped uninjured a few yards from where the accident took place, but the cab was literally dashed to atoms. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS...—. Yesterday, in consequence of an order from the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, the remaining houses in Upper St. Martin's-lane, which are on the line of street leading from Coventry -street to Holborn, were sold by auction. There remain now but few houses to be disposed of for the completion of the improve ments in this part of the metropolis. These are situated at the top of Great St. Andrew's-street, Seven-dials, and at the south of the houses on the lower side of Sydney's-alley, which, when removed, will form the opening from Coventry -street. The whole of the houses south of Cranbourne-alley have been cleared away. In a few months, therefore, the thoroughfare of the new street might be formed. A new sewer into be built upon part of the line, which will communicate with the sewer in the course of erection at the top of St. Martin's-lan e . TESTIMONIAL TO THE REV. DAVID LAING, M.A., CHAPLAIN OF ST. ANN'S SOCIETY.--Yesterday a meeting of the subscribers to the testimonial to the Rev. David Laing, M.A., Honorary Secretary to the St. Ares Society, took place at Messrs. Jackson and Graham's Rooms, Oxford-street. Several clergymen and gentlemen, with their families, were present. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury was in the chair. The testimonial consisted of an elegant bookcase, made of bird's-eye maple, with cornices richly carved, and the in. scription engraved on the e , t i.e t ands of the upper compart_ ments, which are formed of silvered glass : the panels of th lower doors and pilastres being elaborately carved in the renaissance style, and the whole manufactured by Messri. Jackson and Graham. A highly chased gold snuff-box was also presented to the Rev. Gentleman. The value of the testimo nial was stated to be 150 guineas.
