It is said that the Ses s io n , of the two Charhhers -1 of Peers and Deputies of France will be closed by 1 a Royal Sitting. The laws which have lately oc -1 cupied their attention are those relative to the Bank 1 of France, and to the importation of iron. The Bank is proposed to be placed in some degree under the control of the Minister of Finance. . With respect Ito imported iron, th e Ch am b er o f P eers h as i ntro , duce(' a jnst amendment into the proposed law. As passed, by the Deputies, all foreign iron in entre ' pot was subjected,to a new and higher duty : the • Peers have reduced the duty to the rate at which it existed at the time of importation. • The infamous MEHEE DE LA TOUCHE has had the impudence to prosecute a French.

In cases like thi,, manners should c.omt in aid of laws . and universal contempt should supply the place of that punishment- which politi6al reasons preclude justice from inflicting. The new French Minister of War, SOULT, has published an Order of the Day relative to the more speedy payment of the arrears of the troops. He says, " that the King, ..in his,paternal .solici tilde, does not for an instant lose.sight of the in terests of the brave men who have a claim to the arrears of their pay. He desires that, that sacred. portion of th e public.debt be speedily discharged." l'he press on .the River continues very hot; and the service will, it - is underitood, be continued till 10,000 able-bodied seamen have been _ob tained. The Gazette contains an Order in Council, dated the 16th instant, authorising the Governors of the WeSt India Colonies, including the Baha ma and Sourer Islands, to permit the importation of provisions in neutral ships for six mouths from the above date, on paying the duties_ prescribed, in fmlncr Omiers..

She is provided with an _ elastic Ice-board formed of dried hides, whiCh gives her considerable wea therly power. . A British Officer on the American station; in a Letter to a friend, states as follows :—" Ameri can pilot vessels for towing torpedoeS have been invented in New York, for the purpose of impel ling through the water the internal torpedoes in-- tended to blow up the British line-4-battle ships. • A winch inside'this vessel turns two wheels on the outside, anti which are placed on the larboard side. These wheels inipel both the pilot vessel and the-torpedo attached to it, at the rate of four miles per hour. ‘Vitiiin the vessel are 12 men.- r - The bottom of the vessel is not much. unlike that Of a boat,' hut its ton is arched. The seantling are those a ship of 100 tons ; the planks are of inch and half-stulf, anti these being eased over with iron plates of half an inch thickness, al.e not to be in pied by shot. On the (-op there is a scuttle for the: crew - to enter, and this opening is also the look out where a sentinel is constantly placed. Two air . -holes forward and abaft, give sufficient air to the cc'etv. The, vessel draws six feet water, but one foot only is to be -seen above the water,. and this being painted,of a dingy white., is not pereeiVable. Tice torpedo is of course attached to the stern of this vessel, ropes leading to it front two ring , boits in the after -part.. The tor- • pedo is filled with powder and combustible mat ter, and in its. inside there is a gun-lock, to which is fastened 'a string, which ' leads to the scuttle of the pilot vessel.

A contagious fever prevailed at Cracow, in Po land, from the 12th of October to the 20th No vember, ishich carried off 260 people.

COURT OF COMMISSIONER'S OF APPEAL FOR CHRIST CHURCH. FARQUHARSON X. THE PARISH OE. CHRIST CHURCH. The appellant ,having recently failed, upon mat ter 'of f orm, Court of King's Bench, re commenced his proceedings by appeilling under a new notice to the Commissioners of - appeal ap pointed by the Local Act, applicable to this pa xish. The notice . of aPpeal was for not including its the last Poor's Rate, Mr. B. Neale, of St. Poufs Church-yard ; Mr. Webber, of Clapham ; and the Rev... Rowland Hill, in respect of their.bene ficial interests in anti occupation of the Ussent ing Meeting-House, called the Surrey Chapel ; and Mr. Upton, in respect of his Meeting-House. The Commissioners haxing assembled, the ap pellant obseryed that, to avoid all further litiga-• tion and expence, lie would consent on behalf of himself and those with • Whom he, acted, that it case should be stated by Mr. Meyinott, the Soli citor and Vestry Clerk, and laid before Mr. Nolan, the Counsel. for the Parish Officers ; lint if be said the persons named in the notice oirght not to be rated, there should be an end of the subject. So far was this proposition from being acceeded to, that, Mr. Benjamin Hawes, one of the Commis sioners, one of the Judges appealed to for redress of the grievance complained of, said, lie had no objection- w h a t ever to , t h e li t i gat i on, or to the employing lawyers. lie thought the lawyers (night to live. Why then should not thoe who and to defend th e Di ssent i ng M eet i ng H ouses, and prevent them bring rated, subscribe among themselves, and raise a fund for the purPose.?— He had no doubt, there were many persons in did parish, whose purses - - were a great deal longer '• than either the appellants, or any of those who acted in concert with him. - He should, therefore, propose, that those who entertained sentiments similar to his own, should exptess them by set ting on foot a subscription. Mr. Browne, another Commissioner, said. he would willingly subscribe five .guineas a-year, to prevent ,the Meetinp•-houses' from being rated. The Chairman then - asked the appellant what 'were the grounds of his appeal ? The appellant replied, that he should produce sufficient evidence in support of his appeal.at the sessions, but before the present tribunal he coull could do nothing more than state the fact, that the person named in the notice were liable, and received profits to the amount of near 10001. a. year.—The witnesses he should have to call were of course adverse, and could not be bro . ught for ward by him without compulsory process ; such process could not be had, because the Commis sioners, when they obtained the A c t o f Parlia ment by which they sat -in •a judicial character, omitted to arm themselves with the power of en forcing the attendance of a single witness, whom if might be necessary to examine before them.— The appellant - infOrmed the Commissioners. that there would be an appeal agaiust'. every rate to every future sessions, till a decision was obtained conformably to what was generally known and admitted to be the law.- SUCCESSFUL SWINDLING. A French Gentleman and his wife, named La Roque, who arrived from Calais, at Dover, the early part of last week, and took their passage from thence in the Dover coach, for London, alighted in town on Thursday morning. From motives of economy, they preferred ;taking. lodg ings to remaining at the i n n, g at which the coach stopped ; and atter some search, obtained apart- . meats in a respectable house, in the Adelplri, whither they had their trunks and other property conveyed. In the same house 41 Gentleman'occu pied the second floor, who had only taken pos seSsion the preceding day. So•ne embarrassment having been felt by the landlady,.in consequence of her ignorance of the French language, which her new lodgers only spoke, she eornotnnicated. the circumstance to the Gentleman on the second floor, whO politely offered his services as an in terpreter, and was immediately introduced to the foreigners, by whom his attentions were most gratefully received. After 'Cinch conversation, Mr. La Roque begged to be informed in what Manner he could dispose of one hundred golden Napoleons, which he hatiii Iris possession. His new friend immediately' Offered to get him Banlc • notes for theM, in the city, the ensuing morning The Offer was kindly received, and that night the unsitspeeting stranger deposited his bullion in his hands, a•td he soon afterwards took his leave under pretence of retiring to 1)61, and actually did - go to hiS room, where he remained 'quiet for the night. Upon the servant going up with his breal,fast in the morning, however, and rapping at his, hed 'room door, she received n o answer , an d ventured to enter the chamber, where to her surprise she missed the Gentleman, as well as his portmanteau and clothes, that had . previously been lying about the room. She instantly informed her mistress, who, upon further investigation, was satisfied that he had gone off in the night, or very early that morning. Imagining he must hai'e some motive for so sudden a departure, she went into Mr. La lioitte's room, and having made her tears under . - stood, she- learnt from .hint, in Very bad Eng lish, the - nature of the commission entrusted to the abSentee. Her feats of dishonesty were now confirmed, and having heard nothing of him that day; or the following day, there is no doubt but he has taken his departure, to enjoy the fruits of his impOsition upon the credulity of Mr. La Roque, ‘vho-bas thus purchased his experience of London trickS at a very expensive rate. Means are taking to discover the swindler, who,se per son is well, known, and who appears himself to - be a foreigner, although perfectly master of the English language. H e went by the name, of Milner. Mr. J. MUNRO, innkeeper, at LoChwinnoch, North Britain, was, a week lig°, attacked by four men, about a mile to the east of Kilsytt►, and mbhedof 5151. in notes ; among which were three 201. no;es of the Glasgow Batik. A tire broke out- yesterday morning at a fish mongeCs shop opposite Bond -street, in Picca dilly. Part of the roof of the house felt in, and considerable other damage was done. <
