SECOND EDITION. fli 4ntt LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1845. It would be idle to disguise the fact that there is a determined and growing hostility manifested in the French Chamber of Deputies towards this country. England is constantly before their eyes. Her great ness, her vast extent of territory, her late acquisitions on the Indus, the Sycee silver brought from China, and the glorious peace concluded in the very heart of the Celestial Empire, are all sources of jealousy and envy to our aspiring neighbours. Those who have paid the slightest attention to the speeches and amendments of the different Members must have observed that they all relate to England—no other country obtains the slightest notice. Austria, Russia, and Prussia have been mentioned, it is true, by M. `rums, in a parenthesis ; but the entire stock-in trade, the list of grievances against the Government, and the humiliation of France, so loudly announced by the Opposition, have their entire source on this side of the Channel. The affairs of Morocco ami Otaheite, the right of search, the entente cordiale, and the royal visit to 'Windsor, are only different chords, all playing the same tune —hatred to England. These airs are not played by men of obscure character, or by wild visionaries who regard war and victory as synonymous terms ; they are performed by some of the most able leaders in the Chamber, by men who have been in office, and know the secrets of diplomacy —such as MOLE, Tuisas, DGFAURE, Dun N, not to mention BARBoT, 1311.1.. t u LT, LAMARTINE,BRRILYER, ARAGO, and other second-rate men, distinguished by almost every shade , ) f politics ; and what renders aPPearances more omi nous, they are supported, even under present circum stances, by one-half of a Chamber that does not fully represent the warlike feeling of th.t provinces.. The l i me ., p re possessions in favour of peace cannot pos sibly be doubted. His rejection of M. TRIERS, at the critical period of the Syrian expedition ; hi s anxious wish to cultivate friendship with the Royal Family of England ; indeed, his whole policy since he was placed on the throne, have convinced the Great Powers of the Continent, and, above all, the war party in France, that during his lifetime, at least, peace shall prevail. But he is now advanced n years, and should hi s life not exceed, the usual :span of three score years and ten, the thrOne will be left to a minor, under the guidance of his uncle, as Regent. The KING'S influence in the Chamber is great. Some say the Court and Cabinet can com mand a hundred votes, but whatever may ,be the number, all that influence can command only a bare majority in favour of peace. It becomes the country then to look to futurity, and to no distant futurity, in order to be prepared. M. THIERS, by his own ad mission, is only waiting for a combination of circum stances. The death of LOUIS PHILIPPE may be one of the combinations, and a young King, a young Regent, a young Admiral, and " Young France," with M. TRIERS as Foreign Minister, will serve to make up the complement. He will find supporters, too, out of number throughout the French dominions, whom no dread of results, no recollection of past sufferings, and no dictates of prudence can deter. They long for the return of those golden days when the armies of France overran Europe, when common soldiers became Marshals, and Princes, and Sove reigns, and the supply of young men was barely suffi cient to fill up vacant places in offices erected for levying tribute on every German and Italian state. The condition of this country is now so different; France is so cribbed and confined in the eyes of the present generation, and the outlet for trade so small, that this desire for change can be regarded only as a natural result. From whatever cause, however, it takes its rise, there is no doubt that it exists, and that on the demise of the KING a general election would return a Chamber as thoroughly hostile to England as M. TRIERS could desire. But, independent of the Chamber, he has nearly the whole press on his side. Not a tenth part of the French journals support the -peace policy of the KING and his Minister ; and if this circumstance be taken as a test of the national feeling, no country was ever more ripe for war than France is at the present moment. If, under the pru dent sway of Louis PHILIPPE, a rupture was immi nent about a trifle, what may England expect when the hand that has controlled the people for fifteen years is powerless ? The important division on Mon day shows that the KING'S influence cannot be reckoned upon even at present, and a Conservative journal, the Presse, thus calls loudly upon France to assert her honour : " France suffers the consequence of her own heed lessness. Why has Great Britain placed herself in the alternative of a rupture with her, or of a blame inflicted by us on the brave Captain d'Aubigny, and an indemnity granted to the fiery agitator Pritchard ! Why have not our Ministers repulsed this incredible pretension by replying instantly with firmness, that as no indemnity was due, and as no blame was merited, France could not with honour grant one or inflict the other, and that it England, dissatisfied with that reply, wished absolutely fora rupture, the world would then judge between them and us ? In fine, why did not the majority reject the amendment of M. de Malleville on this delicate ques tion ? We shall explain that fact, for when truth appears to us dangerous to be concealed there is no secondary consideration sufficiently strong to induce us to maintain silence. The truth is, that England, which is informed of the number of our vessels as accurately as she is of the number of her own, knows moreover that we carry to infatuation the fear of war, and thence her menacing exigencies. The truth is, that the majority, which still remember the disasters of 1814 and 1815, does not be lieve that war can break out between France and Eng land without extending to all the other parts of Europe, an error propagated by those who ought to apply them selves most to destroy it. Thence the vote of Saturday." " Quarnditi Catilina" is the exclamation which involuntarily occurs to us as, day after day, we are apprised of some new atrocity on the part of that execrable and ferocious despotism which wields the destinies of Spain. How long, indeed, will the majesty of civilisation, represented by this country and the other great Powers of Europe, permit these bloody excesses to be perpetrated by a Government as disorganised as it is faithless, as weak as it is dis organised—to their own dishonour—to the scandal of our age—to the disgrace of humanity—to the infamy of the Spanish people ? The rights of man, the ties of nature the integrity of justice, the solemnity of law, are alike violated, severed, and in- stilted in Spain, by a system of relentless proscrip tion—as irresponsible, as sanguinary as in the times of her severest civil struggle was ever witnessed by Old Rome. Bat this modern prescription is even more wanton than those which have consigned to perpetual horror the names of SYLLA, or of MARK ANTONY and LErthus. They might have pleaded the necessity of self-preservation against the antago nistic power of rivals, who, because they were rivals, were necessarily, therefore, their implacable enemies. But the blood spiller who sets in motion this hideous engine of wholesale murder in Spain—be he NAN, vaEz himself, or one of his creatures who, under a mask of office, propounds and executes the sugges tions of NARYAEZS personal vengeance—has no such palliative plea to offer. Corruption, the wholesale corruption which has floated the obscure NARVAEZ into his present position of " bad eminence," has too thoroughly accomplished its work to leave him the apology of personal peril to himself, or of the dread of successful rivalry by others in the struggle for political power. He seems to have ingratiated him self with the two Queens, and to have become neces sary to the consolidation of any Administration which shall possess efficient authority, under ISA BELLA. In return, he appears to be able to seal the doom of any other individual in her kingdoms who may have had the spirit and resolution to oppose him self to his schemes of unprincipled aggrandisement and ambition. Another victim has just expiated this offence in the person of his brave and resolute op ponent, ZURBANO. The blood of this ill-fated man's race has been shed profusely since he first stood be tween the wreck of Spanish independence, in the capital, and the lawless and insolent pretensions of NARVAEZ. Bitterly has his own vindictiveness been atoned for in the violent deaths of brothers-iii-law, brothers, sons ; and we learn, by the last intelligence received, that ZUUBANO himself has been summarily shot by order of the Governor of Logrono, together with one of these, his nearest and dearest kindred! It has been recently shown, in a note appended by Lord ItANELAGu to his pamphlet, that between the Ist of December, 1843, and the 13th of December, 1844, no less than two hundred and fourteen indi viduals have been shot for political offences in Spain. These unfortunates perished chiefly at the instigation of NARVAEZ, though we must not be suffered to ex cept, or to forget that, of this number, no less than one hundred and twenty-nine, the prisoners of that still more detestable chief, V ILLA.LoNo A, were murdered in cold blood in the Maestrazgo, after their capture. It was only in the month of November last that two other sons of the ill-starred ZURBANO and one of his brothers-in-law were shot in Logrono, where he him self, with, according to some accounts another son, according to others another brother, has just been slaughtered. We have ever been, and still are, decidedly op posed to all intervention with the internal affairs of other States, except as to cases wherein our arbitra tion may have been applied for. But we cannot help feeling that this country and the other great Powers have only to intimate, in terms sufficiently grave and distinct, their detestation of, and displeasure at, these brutal reprisals and murders—to put an end to them. Let the Court of Madrid be apprised that the example of these sanguinary punishments are viewed by the great Powers not as required for the vindica tion of established law and authority, but in order to satisfy the rancour of party, and private and political enmities. Let the Spanish Cabinet be made to understand that it is setting an example of violence and crime the most dangerous to the cause of peace and order in Europe ; and that it cannot be per mitted by a perseverance in this career of military executions to present to the subjects of other States the hateful spectacle of executive authority trampling under foot all the laws of GOD and man, to satisfy the revengeful or malicious desires of whatever un principled faction may happen to be in power, upon those who have in any way thwarted or resisted their progress towards its attainment. All diplomatic re lations should he suspended with a Government, call ing itself the Government of a civilised country, which not merely permits, but abets, a system of political brutality that is calculated rather for the meridian of Ashantee or Pegu (where human sacri fices are congenial to the unbridled passions and savage habits of unreclaiined barbarians), than to that of one of the most ancient monarchies of Europe. PRITCHARD indemnity. From all accounts the result is the general topic of conversation, and cannot fail to cause a strong sensation throughout the whole of France. The Ministry have been saved from destruc tion by a majority of only eight against an amendment which, if carried, must have seriously compromised the relations between England and France. The Opposition, with loud cries of exultation, claimed a decided victory, and without waiting for the divisions on the other paragraphs of the Address, left the house in a body. It will be recollected that on Saturday the Members broke up in great agitation—the Ministry contending (and they were borne out by three of the tellers), that the amend ment of M. ALkLLEVILLE was rejected, while the Opposition, on the authority of the fourth teller, maintained that it was carried. On Monday the Chamber again met in a state of great excite ment, when the President read the third paragraph of the Address, which runs thus :—" Incidents which at the first moment appeared calculated to disturb the good relations existing between France and England had greatly agitated the two countries, and called for all the attention of your Government. We are happy to learn that a mutual feeling of goodwill and equity has maintained between the two States that happy accord which is in dispensable for their prosperity and the repose of the world." To this M. MALLEVILLE moved the following amendment :—" We are happy to learn that the accord so necessary to the repose of the world has been maintained between the two States, but we regret that, in granting a reparation which was not due, the rules of justice and reciprocity, which France shall always respect, were not suffi ciently taken into account." M. BILLAULT spoke strongly in support of the amendment, and was fol lowed by M. ODILLON BA.RROT, who appeared to be in a state of great excitement, and gave vent to ti,e following language :—" France should not have the appearance of voting under the threat of a rupture ; that if England did not dread such a rupture, neither was France afraid of it. They were all, he said, men of honour, and if they were convinced that the im pious war, which had already cost the lives of 200 of their countrymen, had been kindled by Mr. PRIT CHARD, he was certain nobody in the house would consent to pay an indemnity to that manufacturer of sedition and revolt." A division by ballot then took place, when there were—For the original paragraph, 213; against it, or for the amendment, 205—majority, 8. The announcement was received with tremendous cheering and clapping of hands by M. TRIERS and his party. A number of Conservatives refrained from voting, and left M. GUIZOT to his fate. The whole Address was finally voted by a majority of 183, only 33 Members remaining to vote against it. Ministers, however, are resolved to remain in office and proceed without delay to make another trial of strength by bringing in the Secret Service Money Bill. This Bill was announced for the following day (Tuesday). As the division on this question is one of the first importance to England, as well as France, it may he interesting to give the opinions of the Opposition Paris press on the present crisis. The Opposition party, we have said, claimed a majority on Saturday, and in proof of it the National says : " That which particularly struck every one present in the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday was the unjustifi able conduct of the President and his unexpected flight. No person heard him adjourn the debate, nor did he read the order of the day. Ile was seized with fear at the mo ment when he felt the storm raging. If a President may render himself ridiculous (and M. Sauzat sometimes abuses that liberty), it is not permitted to him to fail in the duties of his office. And now that we have done with the President, let us refer to the Secretaries. MM. de L'Espee, Boissy d'Anglas, and Las Cases, declared on Saturday that the amendment of M. Loon de Malleville was rejected. M. Lacrosse maintained, on the contrary, that it was approved by the majority. Let us verify the truth by a simple calculation. Two secretaries, consulted as to the number of votes, affirmed that they had counted—one 410, the other 411 ; we shall take the last number as the basis. From these 411 the President and the four mem bers of the board must be deducted. There remains 406 voters. It is certain, therefore, that about twenty members at least have abstained from voting. We have received the names of sixteen. Those sixteen deducted from 406, there remain 590. The majority is conse quently 196, and we publish the names of 196 member, who positively voted for the amendment of M. Leon de Malleville. We are not aware what course the Opposi tion will pursue on Monday, but the paragraph remains to be voted. The paragraph contains a candid and sin cere approval of the Pritchard indemnity ; the natural effect of the vote of Saturday will be the vote of Mon day. M. Guizot declared explicitly that he did not wish to be equivocally supported. lie was right; Government cannot be conducted by doubtful majorities. Let the majority, therefore, declare itself boldly. If it com pletely approves the solutien of Otaheite, let it be de clared without a quibble." M. TRIERS' paper considers the victory certain, and thus proclaims it " We yesterday gave an approximative calculation, made in haste, from which we conceived we had a right to conclude that M. de Malleville's amendment had been adopted. We are at present able to rectify those figures, and to give proof in the place of conjecture. Here are the facts all proved. All that was doubtful we have considered as unfavourable to our cause. We have, therefore, remained below the truth, and we defy our ad versaries to oppose to our demonstration calculations as complete and as authentic. The manner in which the secretaries proceed in ascertaining the result of a difficult vote is this:—They count up beforehand the Members present ; they subdivide this amount according to the sections of the Chamber. When the vote takes place they compare the number of Deputies who have risen in each section with the number of those in the entire section. They thus deduce from these eight partial substracßons the approxima tive calculation of the general difference between the approvers and the opposers. On Saturday the Se. cretaries had, as usual, prepared this work. M. do l'Esp6?, Ministerial, found 411 Deputies present, includ ing the five Members of the bureau ; M. Lacrosse, Op positionist, reckoned 410. We take 411 as the exact figure. Deducting the Members of the bureau, this amount is reduced to 406. We have stated that a score of Deputies, though present, had not voted. We main tain the exactitude of this fact ; but we can collect in a certain manner but the following 15 names :—MM. Es peronnier, Darbley, Lanyer, Dessaigne, Bernadou. E. Blanc, Lepelletier d'Aulnay, Dugabe, Remilly, Lebobe, Cerfbeer, Salgues, Sapey, Mesgrigny, Lavocat. It is thus evident that our list of yesterday was very nearly exact. Let us deduct 15, there remain 391. We give further on a list of the persons who voted for the amendment, it amounts to 196 ; so that there remain for the Ministry, putting aside such votes as are still a matter of doubt, 195. The Opposition, therefore, had the absolute ma jority ; we believe it had still more. Now, will the re sults bo contested ? In that case it must be proved either that the secretaries were in error as to the number of persons present, and then the majority amongst them becomes more inexcusable not to have pronounced that the trial was doubtful ; or that the fifteen Deputies whom we have named as having abstained took part in the vote, and then it will be necessary to tell us how they voted ; or that oar list contains errors, and includes De puties of the Pritchard party, and we wait to have them made known ; or that a list of more than 195 names of Deputies be produced who stood up in favour of the in demnity, and we maintain that such a list will not be produced. We shall give the list of the Pritchard party; we shall make known to the electors those whom the Ministry has drawn into this fault. The country must one day judge between them and us ; only we postpone this necessary publicity in order to assure its more com plete exactitude." Galignani s Messenger takes the following view of the division :—" The Opposition journals publish lists of the Deputies who, they say, voted for the amendment, and by which they show—some 195, and others 196 votes, for the Opposition, indepen dently of several of which they are doubtful. If either of these lists be correct, the Ministry was either in a minority, or could have had only a ma jority of one, even supposing all the Deputies whose names are set down as doubtful to have voted against the amendment. It is not at all improbable, how ever, that some of the names on the Opposition lists may have been placed there without the direct au thority of the parties themselves, and that some of them may, as is very frequently the case in such matters, come forward and declare either that they abstained from voting, or voted with the Ministry." The Presse considers the affair as by no means settled, and says— " The Chamber has not sufficiently weighed the con. sequences of its vote, and as the affair is far from being concluded, since the indemnity is neither arbitrated on, nor authorised by a special vote, it is st.ll time to reflect. The vote of Saturday is, moreover, contested, and the paragraph of the Address is not yet adopted by the Chamber. The strange promptitude with which the President deserted the chair after having proclaimed the result, appears likely to become the subject of st rong animadversion." The accounts from ➢ladrid are to the 21st inst. Intelligence of the capture and execution of ZURBANO had been received, and produced much excitement. A Cabinet Council was held in consequence. The Gazette of that date contains the appointment of Lieutenant-General Don JOSE PRIMO DE RIVERA to the functions of Commander of the Naval Station at the llavannah, in place of Don FRANCISCO ULLOA. The Three per Cents. closed at 31 -i for cash, and at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 23i at 60 days. Lord COWLEY, says the Constitationnd, paid a long visit to the Tuileries on Sunday morning. The Funds, it will be seen, have undergone little altera tion. On Monday the Three per Cents. closed at 85f. 30. ; and the New Loan at 86f. 50c. The following is the latest intelligence from Swit zerland respecting the Jesuits :—On the 21st instant the Government of Zurich, acting in the name of the Vorort, published its circular to the different cantons on the subject of the encouragement given to the Jesuits by the Canton of Lucerne. The circular is of great length, but the concluding paragraph, which The Paris journals are entirely occupied with the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies on the THE SL N, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29, 1845 we subjoin, will suffice to show its character, and the object at which it aims : "As the tendency of the spirit of the order of Jesuits is to subject the State to the Church, and make the ruling policy theocratic ; and, as it is as it always has been among the religious orders, that which is most hos tile to the Reformed Church, its presence in the Canton of Lucerne—the seat of the Vorort, would insure the triumph of its principles, and spr:ad a general mistrust throughout Switterland. It is fur this reason that the Diet should endeavour to dispose this canton to abandon its project of entrusting its theological establishment to the Jesuits, and thus contribute to the re-establishment of public peace. We, therefore, entreat the cantons to call upon the Deputies to meet an extraordinary Diet at Zurich, furnishing them with instructions, so that their first sitting may take place on the 24th of February next." away. After some time he found a policeman, who sue ceeded in arresting the three prisoners. Upon searching for the watch the constable found it lying upon a win dow-sill near where they were taken into custody. Mr. CLARKSON said that his clients were respectable married women, and endeavoured to show that the pro secutor was inebriated, but in this he failed. Tho jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Kent and Kirwan, and of Acquittal in favour of Buckley. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said those daring street rob beries must be put down. lie felt inclined to transport the prisoners; however, he would give them one chance more. The sentence of the Court was, that they be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six months, six weeks to be solitary. In every instance this day, in which the Learned Assistant-Judge sentenced a convict to a term of impri sonment, he ordered that certain periods, varying from one-third to one-sixth of its duration, should be solitary. GUILD HALL.—(TH I S DAY.) DESPERATE OUTRAGE BY A CLERGYMAN.—The Rev. Mr. Hopkins, residing in Burton-crescent, New-road, was charged with violently assaulting Mr. Cole, a solicitor. Aldermen Hughes and Farebrother were on the bench. The Rev. Gentleman was defended by a solicitor. Mr. Cole having been sworn, stated that he had drawn up in writing an apology, and, on the condition that the defendant would sign it, and that it should be inserted in the newspapers, he would not prefer the charge against him. The Rev. Gentleman expressed his willingness to make an apology, and to sign that prepared by Mr. Cole, on the understanding that it should not be inserted in the newspapers. Mr. Cole was unwiling to concede that point. He would reserve to himself whether he should publish it or not. He then stated, that on leaving the Crown-office in the Temple yesterday, after taxing a bill of costs, in which the defendant was interested, ho came up to him, and saying something about an explanation, raised a thick stick which he carried, and struck him ou the head. The defendant was about to repeat the blow, when seve ral professional gentlemen, who were near the spot, pro • vented him from doing so, and ultimately he was given into custody. The ALDERMAN strongly recommended Mr. Hopkins to sign the apology, as the further hearing of the charge might bring out matters of a private nature. After much conversation the defendant agreed to sign the document, at the same time stating that the assault was committed in a moment of irritation, and expressing a hope that the complainant would not deem its publica tion in the newspapers necessary. He was then bound over, himself in 801., and two sureties in 401. each, to keep the peace towards the com plainant for the ensuing twelve months. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) Two cabmen, named Bartlett and Harrold, were charged with violently assaulting police constable 205 G; Bartlett with attempting to stab the constable. At four o'clock this morning the policeman was called into the Old Red Lion public-house, where there was a dreadful scuffle between thirty and forty of the lowestcha racters, who were fighting and shouting. The constable interfered, when the prisoners fell upon him and beat him in a very severe manner, and Bartlett, taking out his penknife and opening it, swore he would rip his b —y Peelers' bowels out. He was secured with the greatest difficulty, but not before the constable had sustained se vere injuries.—They were sent to the House of Correc tion fur ten days each in default of fine.

DEATH OF SIR JOHN GEERS COTTERELL, BART. —The venerable Baronet expired on Sunday last, the 26th instant, at the family seat in Herefordshire, at the advanced age of eighty-eight. Sir John was son of Sir John Cotterrell, Knight, by the only daughter and heiress of Sir John Geers, of Garnons, Herefordshire. He mar ried, in 1791, Miss Francis Isabella Evans, only daugh ter of Mr. H. Michael Evans, who died in 1813. The deceased was created a baronet in 1805. He is succeeded in his title and estates by his grandson, now Sir John Cotterell. THE MEDICAL. PROFESSION AND SIR J. GRAHAM. —Last evening a meeting of the general practitioners of the City of London was held at Radley's Hotel, Bridge street, Blackfriars, for the purpose of adopting measures in relation to Sir J. Graham's Bill. Mr. Smith, of Trinity-square, presided. He addressed the meeting, briefly detailing the several objectionable portions of the proposed measure. Th e Bill, he added, instead of being calculated to better the condition of the medical prac titioners throughout the country, was one which, - if passed, would deprive the public of, competent persons to give medical advice. He was confident that the Go vernment would never persist in passing so iniquitous a measure. The meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr. Roberts, of Finsbury -circus, who proposed a reso lution strongly condemnatory of the Bill. Mr. Reade se conded it; unanimously carried. DEATH EY FIRE AT THE SERVANTS' HOME.- Last night an inquest was held at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, before Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, on the body of Ann Coates, aged 13, who was burnt to death at the Indigent Refuge or Servants' Home Institution in Princes -street, Red Lion-square. The deceased was one of the inmates. On Saturday afternoon she was drawing off some boiling water, when her clothes caught fire, and the poor girl became enveloped in flames. She ran about from room to room screaming, and in the greatest agony, during which the whole establishment was thrown into the utmost consternation. After great exertion on the part of Mrs. Bridgeforth, the matron, the flames were extinguished, but not before she was frightfully burnt about her head, chest, and arms. She was removed to the hospital, wrapped in blankets. Mr. Parsons, the house-surgeon, stated that the deceased died at an early hour on Monday morning from the effects of the burns. Verdict, " Accidental death." CORONERSHIP FOR THE COUNTY OF :BERKS..... E.

THIS DAY'S NEWS. CHANCERY.--{THIS DAY.) (Before the LORD CHANCELLOR.) His Lordship was engaged during the morning with the further hearing of a part heard patent case of " Tul loch v. Hartley." ,QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN V. CARTER. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved for the judgment of the Cuurt upon the prisoner, who pleaded guilty to two indictments preferred against him for misdemeanour. The prisoner was an officer of excise, and was stationed in Montgomer) shire, in Wales, where, in his capacity of excise officer, ho committed a series of frauds in the years 1842 and 1843. It was the duty of the prisoner to give notice to traders of the amount of duty with which they were to be charged, but he had no right to receive any money. Having to deal with persons who were ignorant in those matters, and who were not able to speak the English language, he obtained from them more duty than they ought to pay. He also received money for licenses, which he falsified, by giving the parties old licenses which be had in his possession, insertiug the names of the persons from whom ho received the money. He was guilty, therefore, of forgery, which he committed for the pur pose of covering his fraud, which might have subjected the parties upon whom he practised it to great inconve nience and expense. It was only after the prisoner had lost his situation that those circumstances became known. It was evident that the prisoner had pursued this as a system, for he had been guilty of a series of offences of the same kind. Mr. Justice PATTESON —I find that there are some of the offences set forth in various counts. As I cannot pass s a u j ud i gtr e n p t r o u s p e o g n u i moreupon the thanon e, I suppo se yo u will enter others? The Solicitor- General remained silent f or some t i me . Lord DENM W AN—ell, Mr. Soli c it or, w h at do you propose to do? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I cannot do so, my Lord; I am not the Attorney-General Lord DENNAN—Oh yes, you can. You are acting for the Attorney-General in his absence. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL —I cannot do so in my own name. The Court having consulted for some time, Lord DENMAN directed that the prisoner should be brought up again to-morrow, and in the meantime they would consider what was to he done. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) LORD GIFFORD V. THE MAGISTRATES OF BERKSHIRE. Mr. SMITH moved for a rule to show cause why a writ of certiorari should be issued removing certain reeog nisances entered into by Lord Gifford and two sureties, before the Earl of Radnor and the Rev. John Francis Cleaver, two of the magistrates of Berkshire, into the Court of Queen's Bench. He founded his application on two grounds —first, that no sworn peer of the realm could be arrested by a warrant issued by the magistrates of a county ; and secondly, that his Lordship had an undoubted right to remove the allegations against him to the Court of Queen's Bench, as the only Court having jurisdiction in the case of a peer. The Learned Counsel supported his view of the case by a reference to Blackstone, and to the authorities quoted by him. Mr. PasuLEy said that he was prepared to show that the Commission of the Peace authorised the magistrate to issue his warrant against all who were supposed to contemplate a breach of the peace, and peers, he con tended, were not exempted from its operation ; and he was also prepared to show that the circumstances of the present case warranted such interference ; and that, therefore, that Court, in the exercise of a wise discretion, should not accede to the rule sought for by his Learned Friend. The circumstances of the case were these. The Noble Lord kept a pack of fox hounds with which he hunted the county of Berks, and another gentleman, Thomas Thornhill Morland, Esq., also kept a pack and hunted the same county. They both claimed the privilege of drawing the Buscot covers, the first on account of some acknowledged right, and the second by permission of the owner, Pryce Pryce, Esq., M.P. This misunderstanding produced a corre spondence between the parties which only widened the gap, until at length tile intention of both parties to meet with their friends at the cover in question seemed to the magistrates to justify them in issuing their warrant in order to prevent any aggression on either side. The warrant was directed to Lord Gif ford, and was served upon him by a constable at his re sidence, in Cirencester, two days before the intended meeting. His Lordship, attended by two friends, Frederick Cripps, Esq., and Captain Jones, appeared before the magistrates, and were bound over in the sum of I.OOOL, and two 500/. That this was a necessary measure, would appear from the remark made by Cap tain Jones to the constable who had pointed out to him the Buscot cover, " Ah, that was where the horse-whip ping was to have:taken place," and Lord Gifford said, when the constable expressed a hope that his waiting upon him on so unpleasant a business would be excused, "Oh, certainly, I thought it was some one 'to call me out.'" The Learned Counsel then at great length proceeded to quote authorities in oppo sition to the principle of Mr. Smith. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS did not see why the Court should interfere, because, in the first place, the Noble Lord was not then in custody; and, secondly, if it should be at any future time shown that the county magistrates had no jurisdiction in such a case, the recognistuices would fall to the ground.—Rule refused. EXCHEQUER.-(T HIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) The Court was engaged this morning in hearing mo tions, but as the points on which the decision turned wero of a technical character, there was nothing to justify a report. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE.) Three females, named Ann Bachley, Nary Kirwan, and Eliza Kent, were indicted for stealing a valuable watch, the property of Donald Campbell Dawson. Mr. Clarkson defended the two prisoners Kirwan and Kent ; and Mr. Page appeared for the prisoner Ann Buckley. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor, who was a wine and spirit merchant in Limehouse, that as he was passing th roug h Rosemary-lane, on the evening of the 17th inst., one of the prisoners walked up to him, and, laying her hand upon his arm, gave a signal, when the other two women came up, and they commenced hustling him. lle endeavoured to get away from them, and having succeeded with some difficulty, he found that his watch-guard had been cut, and his watch taken SUMMARY OF NEWS MONEY AND COMIVIERC!

It is with much regret that the merchants in the City interested in the East India and China trades, have learnt that the project of a railway for the con veyance of goods and passengers across the Desert is all but abandoned. It was hoped that the scheme would be successful, but it would appear that the difficulties are all but insurmountable, and a canal is likely to be formed instead. In some quarters we hear that the Pacha of Egypt is indisposed to make any advances for the rail way, his exchequer being somewhat low. It is impos sible to over-estimate the value of such a commu• nication if successfully carried into execution. If the railroad is at all practicable, no doubt capital enough would be raised here for the purpose, and thus a great boon be granted to the traders and passengers be tween Europe, India, and China. We are without any colonial arrivals to-day of late dates. The Public Securities have not been influenced as to value by the very extraordinary divisions that have taken place in the French Chamber of Deputies. Cir cumstances nearer home—namely, a demand for capital for the settlements in the Railway and Foreign Stock—is the principal reason why Consols have gone back a little. Considering the high value of the Three per Cents. it is most remarkable that a much greater fall than from Ito per cent. has not recently taken place. Consols for the Account have been done at 100*. but the Three per Cents. for Money are at a fraction below par. Bank Stock has reached 215 this morning, but they are now rather lower. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been sold at 1041 I. Exchequer bills command 675. premium.

There has been a small reaction in the Portu guese Converted Bonds, which were done at 604 early in the day, and are now at 59k. The Spanish Actives for Ac counthave been quoted at 28k, and the Three per Cents. at 40. The Dutch, the Chilian, and the Mexican Bonds are firm. Brazilian Five per Cents. have fallen from 90 to 891.

He was dis covered in a house in the immediate neighbourhood of Logrono, on the road to the Sierra de Climaxes, near the spot where his two sons and other partisans had been arrested. The officer who effected his capture was an old comrade known under the soubriquet of El Rayo (the Thunderbolt). The latter bad been long in pursuit of him, having sworn to take him alive or dead. His brother-in-law, Cayo Muro, a major of cavalry, on half pay, was shot dead, in endeavourinz to escape by a win dow. Zurbano was less fortunate ; being taken prisoner, he was led to Logrono, where the Governor, Brigadier Aynat, commanded him immediately to prepare for death. He was shot in the back, in the market-place of Logrono, at eleven o'clock, on the morning of the 21st instant. This renowned chief was the son of a peasant of Ba rest, a rural suburb of Logrono, aho destined him for the ecclesiastical profession, but the study of divinity proving distasteful to him, he returned home. and devoted himself to agriculture. He married very young, and hired a considerable farm at Berea, but the turbulence of his character rendering him unfit far this peaceful occupation, he became a smuggler, and his ene mien say a robber. The ill-success of his pursuits, and consequent hardships, shortened the life of his youthful wife. He shortly afterwards married his present wife, Hermenegilda Martinez. He continued his lawless life till the breaking out of the civil war; when, having placed himself at the head of a small band, under the protection of M. Pito Pizarro, be began those daring at. tacks upon the Carlists which led to his elevation by Espartero to high rank in the Christino army, to the most important commands, and to the possession of great wealth. It doubtful whether he was urged to the re volt which has cost himself and family so dear by his own restless ambition, or by the persecutions of the Govern ment. One fact tending to prove his outbreak premedi tated is, that the provincial regiment of Logrono, part of which was in garrison at Iron at that date, showed such evidently seditious sentiments as to cause great trouble to the Governor of Irun, and proved that it had been tampered with by the Progresista party. William Robinson Robinson, Esq., of Silksworth Hall, near Sunderland, at his rent day last week, In consequence of the depreciated value of agricultural produce, liberally returned ten per cent. to his tenants on the last half year's rent.
