ANGER 9, JUNE 6, EIGHT O'CLOCK IN THE EVEN- 1 tNG.—The Chouans are masters of Chlorines, a small town on the left batik of the Loire. The steam-boat coming from Nantes was obliged to turn hack. Our authorities are not very easy to be put in motion ; their measures of defence are so imperfect, that if Bourmont has any courage, and takes a fancy to come here to sleep, I know not how they could prevent him. We leave the town to-morrow, to take up a position at the bridge of Barre. JUNE 7.—Events are multiplying. I write in great haste. The Chouans, defeated at Montjean, retired to La Pommeraye. They took 600 francs from the Receiver of Taxes. Happily he was not in the house; fearing a revolt, he had concealed 1,500 francs, which he had just collected in Angers, where he intends to remain with his family. A detach ment of National Guards, and some pupils from the sehool of Saumur, forming a number of 40, with 20 soldiers of the line, are now leaving for Cande. It is expected that there will be a rising between this town and Segre. Another detachment has also been sent to Ingrandes, which is said to be threat ened by the Chouans. The Vendean chiefs are on horseback; the secondary chiefs are priests, wear ing the cassock, and a girdle for their pistols. A slight engagement took place last night between Bonneuvre and Anconis ; 150 of the line encoun tered 1,200 Chouans ; the military, after having had four men killed and three wounded, retired to Cande. The Chouans suffered great loss : ameng the dead was numbered M. Laudemont, their chief AVRANCHES, .JUNE 6.—Our authorities being in formed that a band of Chouans, 500 or 600 strong, had advanced upon the town of Sr. James, and taken possession of it, 400 National Guards set out to repulse them, but the information was found to be incorrect. LA FLECIIE, JUNE B.—For the few last days we have been more quiet ; the Chouans are going more to the west. They have a general rendezvous in the environs of Segre, on the right bank of the Loire, and at Beauprean on the left. if they are beaten there, they will return upon us; if they are conquerors, they will make fresh levies, so that in all cases we have little hopes of peace. We are now very well prepared to receive them as they de serve, and so pursue them, if necessary, as we have done before. Our situation is not one of the most pleasant. At first Government appeared to suspect us ; they thought us too ardent; their sus picions went so far as to induce them to send for Civic Guards from our neighbourhood to protect the city, rather than to call upon our devoted batta lions. But the hour has arrived that we can prove ourselves true. Every one is of the same opinion here, and it is from this union that proceeds the strength of this part of the country. At Angers they are rather uneasy. It is a city with which we have old and solid connexions, and if it were in danger, we could very quickly muster sufficient to fly to its relief. BOURBON VENDEE, JUNE 6.—A strong detach. merit of the 17th Light Infantry, commanded by M joy Girard, was scouring the country on the side of Lege; he met the diligence from Nantes to Bourbon, a league and a half from that small town, boving a small white flag tied upon it, which M. G rard pulled off. Proceeding on their way, the troops perceived a number of men on their left. The Major sent a few men to recon noitre, who were fired upon, but none of them were wounded. The detachment continued its way to St. Etienne de Corcou. On arriving thither the co'nuriander learnt that a band of about 400 men had assembled at Port James. Ve read as follows in L' Ami de lu Charte of Nantes :—" We are assured a band of 200 Chouans has appeared at St. Mars, on the borders of the lake of Grand Lieu, towards Nante.. Considerable agi tation reigns in the communes round Pont St. Pere, and it is expected the insurrection will soon break out on that side." The Maniteur says, the insurrection is put down nearly on all points, and disconcerted where it still lingers ; it is impossible to deceive the country, and lie with more barefaced impudence, than the Ministerial organs on this subject. NANTE , , Jour. B.—The following documents, each printed upon paper seven and a half inches long, by five and a half, bordered with fleur-delis, and surmounted by a Royal coronet, have been nume rously distributed during the last night in several quarters of Nantes:— " PROCLAMATION OF MADAME, DUCHESSE DE BEI:RI, Mayors, and two ex-Adjuncts ; they have all been sent to prison at Vannes. The Captain of the Na tional Guard Artillery of Vannes, who was going t( - . his country seat with a fowling-piece in his h an d, %vas stopped and disarmed by the Chouans, half a league from the town.

The whole population of Paris are at this momenr on the Boulevards, where they are gone to witness he general review of the National Guards by the King. I went over a great part of the Boulevards this morning, and every where good humour and cheerfulness seemed to prevail. The National Guards themselves present the most imposing mili tary force that was ever seen. All being dressed in their best clothes, each private might be mistaken for an officer of the line, were it not for the crimson worsted epaulettes which distinguish the corps. From the l3arriere de l'Etoile (at the top of the Champs Eiysees), to the Place de la Bastille, there is an uninterrupted mass of National Guards, occu pying the causeway, while the footpaths, and the windows of the houses which line them, are thickly crowded with spectators of both sexes. The King was to leave the Tuileries at ten o'clock, for the Bar riere de l'Etoile, from whence he was to commence the inspection, and, proceeding at a slow pace, go up as far as the Place de la Bastille. I regret that the early hour at which I am obliged to send off my letter (on account of its being Sunday) prevents me from giving in it an account of the manner in which the King had been received, and the particulars of the review. I should,above all, have wished to ascer tain whether the protests against the system adopted by Government, which I mentioned yesterday as be ing in the course of signature among several of the legions, will have been presented to-day to the King. It appears that a counter-address was pre pared yesterday by some officers of the National Guards, professing opposite sentiment?, in which the King is requested to put down the Press altogether, as being the cause of all the civil commo tions which occur in France. This address has cer ►ainly received many signatures, and I do not wonder at it, as all the shopkeepers of Paris are members of the National Guard, and their love of peace is well known. To them the slightest poli tical disturbance is prejudicial ; no buying and selling can go on when their shops are obliged to be shut. A very great number among them, however, profess liberal opinions, and are inimical to arbitrary rule. A case respecting the legality of the ordinance which has placed us under martial law, has been submitted to the Parisian burreau, for their opinion. Forty.five of the oldest and most eminent advocates have declared it to be illegal on an infinity of grounds. Two articles of the Charter are particu lady referred to, as placing the point in the clearest light—viz, the 14th and 53d. The former, in the old charter, was worded thus :—" The King is the supreme chief of the state; he commands the forces by land and by water ; makes treaties of peace, al liance, and commerce; appoints to all the offices of public administration, and makes the neces sary regulations and ordinances for the execu tion of the laws, and the safety of the state." The last sentence in italics, which formed the grounds of the celebrated ordinances of the 25th July, 1830, was expunged from the 14th article after the revolution, and the following words were substituted :—" Without having the power," the King, that is, " ever to suspend those laws, or prevent their execution." The 53d article of the new charter positively forbids, that on any consideration whatever, or for whatever cause, any citizen should be deprived of the right of being judged by his peers. Now, no one will deny that the military officers composing the military commis sions are not precisely the peers of the individuals on whose doom they are speedily to pronounce, nor of the editors of newspapers, whom they are anxious to have before them. The wisdom of the 53d ar ticle is apparent enough on the present occasion, even without any case being necessary to prove it ; for, what are the prisoners to expect from judges who are, perhaps, the very individuals against whom they fought the other day, and, at all events, be long to a class who have not forgotten or forgiven the disgrace of defeat in 1830, and who, it is well known, now exult in the opportunity of retaliation ? But to the victorious Government, all these con siderations, and fifty others, partly affecting its own future safety, are nothing in this moment of triumph. The whole army, the National Guards, a great por tion of whom are really friends to order, are its sup porters; and Ministers think they will easily manage the majority of the Chambers, which has hitherto been devoted to them, at a time when all that has occurred is nearly forgotten. Minister , , on that account, intend to be in no hurry to convoke the Chambers. After a full enjoyment of their dictator ship, and when they have in some degree succeeded in restoring order by the terror of the sword, they will consult, at their ease, on the mock expediency of calling together the representatives of the people. How deplorable and extraordinary is the condi tion in which the country is now placed After having fought forty years for liberty and fixed laws, it is just as far from having attained them as at the first moment when the conflict began. You will ob serve, among the Turkish arguments with which the Government papers abound, intended to vindicate the powers usurped by the Government, that not a single allusion is made to the Charter. None but Napoleon's decrees, and the laws of some of the worst periods of the first revolution, are brought for ward in justification,—authorities truly worthy of the times. It i; now pretty well ascertained that the number of military and National Guards of the banlieue who were killed during the actions of Tuesday acid Wed nesday, amounts to 2,000; that of the people is little more than 1,000. This difference against the former is owing to their having been obliged to tight in the open stroet3, while the others filed mostly from behind barricades and walls, and from the win dows of houses. I see by an account given by a London Evening Paper of Thursday, that ' the Bank of France was supposed to have been one of the first places at tacked on Tuesday evening. This was a mistake which I can easily account for, as 1 witnessed the storming by the populace of the guard-house which adjoins the Bank; but the only object of the assailants was to possess themselves of the arms and ammuni tion of the soldiers occupying that post, and having succeeded in doing so, they sallied out, and pro ceeded immediately to the open fields of action. The Sergens de Ville, or police-officers, are no longer seen in the streets in their costume, and with swords b) their side. Whether this is done for the purpose of allaying the hatred which is felt by the people against every thing that reminds them of the police or because the police is now done by soldiers, has not been yet ascertained. We have no further news to-day from the west ; but it appears that, however general . the rising in La Vendee and Les deux Sevres, it is not likely to lead to any important results. An army of 100,000 ought, by this time, to be scattered through the disturbed districts, unless any portion of it has been ordered to proceed hither in consequence of recent events. P.S. Since writing the above, I have seen a per son who has witnessed a great part of the review and who says that the King every where met with a cordial reception. Rims, SUNDAY AFTERNOON.—From the joyous aspect of the town to-day, it is difficult to believe that this is the same Paris which, so late as Wed nesday last, exhibited such scenes of consternation and bloodshed. Being the festival of Pentecost, the entire population are decked out in their holy day dresses to witness the magnificent review which Government has prepared for them as a solace for their recent suffering;. As early as seven o'clock, the troops began to take up the positions assigned to them in the Avenue de Neuilly, beginning at the Ilartiere de l'Etoile, and stretching in one continued hne through the Place de la Revolution, the Rue Royale, and along the Bott!evard3 to the Bariere de Truce, at the oppoite extremity of Paris._ _For the exhibition of a great popular spectacle there is not, perhaps, another capital in the world which affordr ro fine a field on which to display it, so many will ing and well-drilled performers, or such a mass of spectators disposed to give up their whole hearts srid minds to its enjoyment. The King made his appearance on the ground re half-past ten o'clock. As lie passed up the rue de la Paix, with Marshal Soult on his right, and Mar shal Lobau on his left, attended by his personal staff, but without any escort, there was scarcely any one to see him, so little was he expected in that direction. If there is a striking contrast in the general aspect of the town between this day and Wednesday last, the change is still more remark able in the expression of countenance and in the out ward bearing of King Louis-Philippe. As he sat on his horse on Wednesday, every joint of his body, and every muscle of his face, seemed to be painfully agitated; he was constantly rising in his stirrups, taking off his cap, and turtling from side to side to acknowledge the salutations he met with as he passed along. To-day his features are calm and placid, his mind is evidently at ease, and as he oc cupies his saddle lie seems at least two inches less in height than he did on Wednesday, when pro ceeding towards the scene of strife in the faubourg St. Antoine. His reception by the people as he left the rue de la Paix, to proceed along the Boule vards, s% as not so boisterous as I have observed on some former occasions, but the cries of " Vive le Roi," the waving of hats and handkerchiefs, and other demonstrations of loyalty and affection, were certainly much more general, and, to all outward appearance, more cordial and sincere, than any thing which has been exhibited in the streets of Paris since the first days of the revolution. In the first instance, his Majesty proceeded in the direction of the Champs Elysees; but from the great extent of the line he has to traverse, and the extreme de liberation with which he proceeds, it will evidently be late in the day, arid probably long after the post hour, before the review is completed. It was the King's intention, us appears by a letter addressed by him to Marshal Lobau, arid published in this day's Mouiteur, to have made a distribution of crosses and decorations of die Legion of Honour, in the course of the review, to such of the troops and of the National Guards as had most distin guished themselves during our two days of civil war. The difficulty, however, of verifying the necessary facts within the short interval which has since elapsed, has induced the King to defer this part of the ceremony till the 29th of July, when another great review will take place to celebrate the second anniversary of the revolution of 1830. The doctrines of M. Persil, the Procureur-Gene rid, on the subject of the declaration of martial law, and the placing the city of Paris in a state of siege, have led, as was to be expected, to a great deal of animated controversy. It is, perhaps, pre sumptuous in a foreigner to express any opinion on the construction of laws as to which the juriscon sults of the country are so decidedly at variance, but, taking the plain common sense interpretation of the 53d and 54th articles of the charter of 1830, it is difficult to see how M. Persil and the Cour Royale could he justified in throwing them over board so unceremoniously as they have done, for the purpose of reviving the rescinded decrees of a great military legislator. The sophistry of M. Persil's reasoning appears to me to be ably exposed in the opinions expressed by the bar of Paris on the sub ject. The most important consequence of the de claration of a state of siege is, undoubtedly, that which suspends the trial by jury—a power which is evidently most expressly interdicted by the charter. But the retro-active effect of this suspension is, if possible, still more unjust and more unconstitutional, and is miserably defended by the legal fallacy, that the substitution of a military commission for a jury indifferently chosen, and for judges appointed ad ant culpain, is a matter of form, and not of essence, and that the ordinance by which a city is placed in a state of siege is a mere administrative re cognition of a fact which previously existed, and which of itself had justified the suspension of the civil privileges guaranteed by the charter, L. 41'zfkAlrA i;k4 it • " OaDINANCE CONCERIMIL; THE ARMY OF AFRICA.

Yesterday morning, at three o'clock, by virtue of a warrant is sued by the Juge d'lnstruction of La Fleehe, M. Sebastian, our Lieutenant of Gendarmerie, arrested in person at their chateau the Count Delancran de Brion, a Major-general and Ex-colonel of the Cuiras siers, and his son; they were immediately sent for ward to La Fleche.

The newspapers have already acquainted you with the scenes of horror and desolation which have occurred in this city, and, though contradictary, and in some measure inaccurate, they still approach nearer the truth than the reports of the idle here. The beginning of all I was an eye-witness to,—that is, the breaking of the order for the march of the funeral, by the mob forcing their way, by Rue de Is Paix, to go to the column of Place Vendome. The drawing of the hearse had been abandoned to a paid mob, which conducted itself in the most indecent manner, forcing every man to take off his bat at their cries of, " Vivela Liherti!." On their return from the Place Vendome, opposite to our house, they stopped and shouted in an un intelligible way, pointing to the house of No. 14, where, like every where else, people were looking out of the win dows ; and it was not until they threw stones at three ladies on the balcony that it was known that the white diasses of the ladies were obnoxious to them. When the pro cession had proceeded as far as Rue Grammont, on the Boulevards, the same mob that had thrown stones in the Rue de la Paix committed the same excess on . the bal cony of the club-house where the Duke of Fitsaam!s was standing, but on the plea of his not taking off his hat. Nine panes of glass were broken, and one very large look ing-glass in the saloon. No one, except a gentleman who was hit on his hand with a penny thrown by the rabble, was hurt. All the English gentlemen who were present took off their hats ; and when some of the people came up, with demonstrations of anger, and they assured them that the offending Duke had retired, and that they thought his conduct had been to blame, the people went quietly away. On the same part of the Boulevards, a policeman was killed, on the plea of his insulting the remains of Lamarque, in not taking off his hat. The procession proceeded alter that without interruption to the Place de la Bastille, where some shots were fired from behind the palisades which surround a monument erecting there. There was a little fighting there; the artillery-men of the National Guards left the procession, to spread a terror through the streets, by running and crying, " Aux Armes, ou nous assassines." The rest proceeded to the Pont d'Austarli/z, where the body was to be deposited in the travelling vehicle. The same mob took General Lafayette, put hitn in a fiacre, from off which they unharnessed the horses, and dragged him triumphantly along the Boule vards to his house. When they came to the guard-house, Place de la Madeleine, they wanted to force the soldiers to tender military honours to their hero; but he himself begged and prayed his friends to leave the soldiers alone, and they obeyed him. Towards six o'clock on the day (sth June) they formed barricades in Rue St. Martin and Porte St. Martin, an appeal to the National Guards was also made, but the Guards were very slow in answering it. Nut much was done that night. Troops were marched into Paris during the night, and the next morn ing, at five, the appeal made to call the National Guard. The appeal was effectual, as it was known that 30,000 republicans and Carliats were prepared to revolutionize Fiance. Our part of the town was very quiet ; we were only dis.ressed by the firing which was going on the Qum!, the Place du Chaplet, and the Rue St. Martin. It is thought that there have been as many lives (if not more) lost, as on the three days of 1830. Among the rabble were a considerable portion of all thelefugees—Poles, Ita lians, and Germans. I cannot give you an estimate of the number killed, fearing to be inaccurate. An unfortunate servant in our house, whose husband went out on the even ing of the sth, smoking his pipe along the Boulevards, and who even went out without his coat, and has never re turned, went to the Morgue to see if she could find her husband among the unknown persons dead, who are always taken there, she told my that both on the 6th and the 7th, when she was there, at six in the morning, corpses were lying like logs of wood. They must have amounted, she said, to three hundred. She saw women as well as men, and a good many who, by th e i r d ress, were ev i dent l y country people. It is believed th at t h e Tories of Eng land, and the despotic Monarchs of other countries, are no strangers to the pr?pktatmg of these disturbances in France, and that their money supplied the wants of the Duchess de Berri and her party. Be this as it may, the) must all be convinoed now that their utmost efforts are in effectual to overthrow the Government, for some time to come, at least. Troops of all arms are bivouacing in the Champs Elyssi , s, and some part of the Boulevards. All is quiet now. The Duke of Fitzjames is arrested. I should suppose that there are apprehensions of fires, for all the Pompier, are casque eu tete prepared, and on the qui vive, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, 1832. At half-past one o'clock, this day, his MAJESTY, accompanied by Sir H ERBERT TAYLOR, arrived from Windsor, at St. James's Palace. His MAJESTY was escorted from Hounslow by a party of the 9th Lancers. Shortly after his arrival, his MAJESTY held a Court and Levee, which were numerously at tended. We refer to our extracts from the French Journals for intelligence respecting the state of affairs in the capital. In the provinces, the Duchess DE BERRI is as frantic, and more fool-hardy than ever. Old BOURMONT too, thrice a traitor, is hastening, it seems, to the assistance of the Vendeans. We await, with some curiosity, the proceedings of the Emperor IslictroLAs, when he shall hear of the late dis turbances. The Brussels and German Papers received this morning do not add any thing to the accounts recently received from those quarters. The late meeting at Hambach seems to have produced a very extraordinary sensation throughout Germany. The account of it wil horrify the Emperor Nic We cannot too often, or too urgently impress / on the minds of the people the important—the highly important fact, that the Reform Bill is at best only a means to an end, and that if they really desire to secure that end, they must them selves be the main agents in accomplishing it. Of one fact we can assure them, on authority not to be doubted, namely, that the Ultras are already astir and in the field, and that subscriptions to an immense extent are getting up among them, whose sole object is, by bribery and cor ruption—so far as such expedients can now be safely resorted to—to subdue, or at least to cripple, the popular energies at the ensuing elections. If, therefore, the people be not still on their guard : if they do not still hold watch and ward over their interests, they will yet find themselves defeated on those very points about which they are most solicit ous. The division of the counties, which we always regarded with distrust, has been a sort of loop-hole, left, as if on purpose, for the Tories to creep in at, and the only sure way to block up this loop-hole—which, we grieve to say, is large enough for even his fat Grace of BUCK- INGHAM to wriggle through—is for the people to combine, to fraternize, and resolve, as at the last immortal election, to return none but good men and true to Parliament. By good men and true, we mean men who belong to the present, not the past day ; who understand its wants and sympathize with its desires ; who are Re formers not from expediency but inclination ; men of business by habit as well as by choice ; prompt in word and deed ; and as quick to con ceive as zealous to execute. Men of this stamp are not an every day's growth, still they may be found, and in abundance too, if the people will but give themselves the trou ble to ferret them out. Two of such a com plexion are already in the field. We allude to Col. JONES and Mr. CUTHBERT RIPPON. The former starts for Marylebone ; the latter for Gates head. Both are Reformers in the most exten sive sense of the term ; and both hare claims on the justice of their countrymen, which it would be the blackest ingratitude to reject. When it was fiat blasphemy to doubt the immaculate purity of the Episcopal Establishment, Mr. CUTHBERT RIPPON spoke boldly out on the subject. - When it was equal impiety to doubt the perfect honour of the Boroughmongers, Colonel JON Es exposed the wretches in all their native unsightliness. Both gentlemen fought the good fight in all seasons and in all weathers, through good report and through evil report as hen the most overwheltning odds were against them. It is no great stretch of patriotism to sport the Reformer in the present sunny weather, Colonel JONES and CUTHBERT RIPPON had the candour and the manliness to proclaim them selves not only reformers, but radicals, and not only to proclaim themselves such, but even to rejoice in the appellation. We say, therefore, that men like these, who have been regularly toiling their ten or twelve hours daily in the field , have a right to be rewarded at the harvest-home. These are the sort of men to work the great machine of Reform, and not your vacillating, addle-headed Aldermen THOMPSONS. Such small deer can only injure the cause. Great emergencies demand great energies, and it is not in a drowsy Alderman that we should ever dream of looking for these. We would take his opi nion on a matter relating to calipash or calipee ; his dictum should be gospel with us on a point involving the comparative merits of a haunch of venison or a haunch of mutton ; we would be guided by him in our choice of wines at a City feast ;—but on the great paramount ques tion of Reform, which it is morally impossible that his stinted faculties can grasp, we would no more think of subscribing to his opinion, or looking to him for assistance, than we should think of applying to a fat poodle for protection from a mad bull. No, no ; Co lonel JONES and CUTHBERT RIPPoN, and men like these, are the only fit men to solve the great problem of Reform. They know its bearings, they see its tendencies, and they must bring it to its inevitable issue. ST. ALBAN'S ABBEY. PUBLIC MEETING.-(THIS .DAY.) A meeting was held to-day at the Thatched-house Ta vern, for the purpose of devising the necessary measures for restoring and preserving this venerable structure. Papers were distributed about the room, briefly detail ing the history of the Abbey, from a report recently made by Mr. Donaldson. It appeared, according to that report, that some portions of the building are of Saxon origin, but portions of it are assigned to different periods of time. This Abbey shared the fate of many others at the dissolution; hut in the reign of Edward VI. it was pur chased by the corporation of St. Alban's, and then it be came the parochial church. Durir ' , the Commonwealth it was plundered of its valuable decorations, but was repaired during the reign of Charles 11. In 1703, the large window, at the south transept, was blown down, and was replaced by the present wooden frame. The edifice has however for a long period been gradually falling to decay, owing to an insufficiency of funds to repair it, until at length a poi tion of it fell down, and other parts are in so ruinous a condition that they are obliged to he shored up. At about half-past one o'clock the Bishop of LONDON took the Chair. His LORDSHIP, on taking his seat, said, he wished their prospects to remedy the evil which had befallen the Abbey were adequate to the necessity of the case. But they had instances before them, such as Yorkminster, and the Ladye Chapel, in Southwark, which would justify them in believing that so ancient and venerable a struc ture as St. Allan's Abbey would not be permitted by a discerning public to go to ruin for want of funds to preserve it. He, for one, would be happy to give his mite towards such a desirable ob ject, with the understanding that no money should be expended until the whole amount necessary to put the Ab bey in a complete state of repair should be raised, for he would not advise the laying out a small sum, which might only save it from tumbling down for eight or ten years. He hoped, however, that the liberality of the public would enable them to repair it with such effect that it would be preserved for centuries to come. At Om request of the CHAIRMAN, Mr. DONALDSON then read his report of the state of the building and the repairs necessary to be performed. The following resolutions were to be submitted to the meeting : " That this meeting have learnt with deep concern the serious accident which has occurred to the nave of St. Allan's Abbey, and the ruinous state of other parts of this magnificent building—a building especially deserving consideration from the remote antiquity of its erection, the beauty of its architecture, and its many historical asso ciations. " That it appears to this meeting, from a report of a survey recently made, that the stun of 15,0001. will be ab solutely requisite to put the building into substantial repair. " That this Abbey having at the Reformation become the p irochial church of a small parish, its funds are ut terly inadequate to meet this emergency, and unless assisted by a national subscription, this most ancient of our sacred edifices must inevitable fall to ruin. " That this meeting cannot contemplate a cit cutn stance so discreditable to the present age, and they, therefore, confidently anticipate that the spirit of libe rality and good taste which has so recently rescued frotn destruction York Minster and the Ladye Chapel of St. Saviours, Southwark, will be extended to the present ob ject with equal magnificence. " That an appeal be forthwith made to the public with a view to raise the necessary funds, and that a Com mittee be formed with full power to carry into effect the objects of the meeting under an obligation to convene a meeting of the subscribers in order to report progress."

The grounds on which he made the application were, that no further proceedings could take place in the Court of King's Bench for at least six months to come, and the unpleasant situation in which Air. Alderman Kelly was placed in having the custody of the young lady pro tent. The Loan CHANCELLOR said he would communicate with the Learned Judges of the King's Bench, and do something in the matter very speedily, feeling as he did the necessity of expedition. His LORDSHIP proceeded to hear (having sat at eleven o'clock) a part-heard motion in Dorrien v. Bainbridge, which was likely to take all the day. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Nothing of any public importance occurred in this Court up to the period of our reporter's leaving. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE LONDON AND MARGATE STEAMI'ACKET COMPANY• GODFRAY V. HURST. In this case, which has occupied several days in argu ment, the bill was tiled by certain shareholders in the Los don and Margate steam-packet company, for the purpose of obtaining an injunction, restraining certain of the trus tees from making any further payment in respect of the di vidends approved at the last General Court, from supplying the Company with coals and other articles, and generally to restrain them from acting as trustees, or for a reference to the Master to appoint a fit person as manager. The bill charged the trustees with having made dividends improperly, with having supplied the Company with coals and other articles at an exorbitant price, and also with other acts of mismanagement, totally inconsistent with the copartner ship deed, and the rules and orders by which the Company was regulated. Mr. KNIGHT and Mr. BETHEL appeared for the plaintiff... Mr. PEPYS, with whom was Mr. WIGRAM and Mr. GIRDLESTONE, jun., appeared for the defendants, con tending that the plaintiffs being shareholders in a rival Steam-packet Company, had filed the present bill to har rass, and, if possible, annihilate the Company of which his clients were shareholders. Mr. KNIGHT this morning replied, after which His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR gave judgment. Ile considered the conduct of the trustees open to no just ground of accusation, the papers showing most clearly that every transaction in which they had been engaged, was conducted in the most fair and honourable manner. His Honour saw no ground whatever for the motion, and or dered it to be refused, with costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) TILE KING V. EVAN OWEN JONES. This was an indictment against the defendant for con spiring with other persons to conceal certain property, part of his his estate and effects, he having been declared a bankrupt. The case was tried at the last Summer as sizes at Bristol, and the defendant was found guilty. The defendant came up to day from the King's Bench prison by a writ of Habeas Corpus to receive judgment. Mr. Sergeant Bo arrus, on the part of the defendant, moved either for a❑ arrest of judgment, or for a new trial. The indictment was founded on the 112th section of the new Bankrupt Act, and the principal question was, whether the indictment sufficiently set forth the offence? It merely averred that the Commissioners had found that the defendant was a bankrupt, and also that be had ben declared a bankrupt, and it also aver• red, as the overt acts, that he had conspired with certain other persons (therein named) fraudulently to conceal certain goods part of his estate and effects. The Learned Counsel submitted that the averments were not sufficient, for the whole circumstances of the bank ruptcy, of a valid petitioning creditor's debt, and of the defendant's submission to the commission, &cc. ought to be averred and proved at the trial. Accord. ing to the present indictment those facts were not put in issue. The defendant might never have submitted to the commission—he might have superseded it—and he [night have recovered some of his property by an action against his petitioning creditor, and yet he would be liable to an indictment framed like the present. It was neces sary for the purpose of justice that a valid bankruptcy should be averred and proved, in order to convict a party of concealing his own goods, instead of merely averring that be had been declared a bankrupt—which, for any thing that appeared, might be disproved when the whole facts were in issue. The Learned Sergeant went through a variety of cases in the late and present Bankrupt Acts, and contended that the indictment was bad. Lord TENTERDEN, after conferring with the other Judges, said, he for one, at present, and upon this indict • went for conspiracy, entertained no doubt that the offence was sufficiently averred ; what might be the case if it were an indictment for felony he' would not now say. But as one or two of his Learned Brethren were of a different opinion, he thought the best way would be to grant a role nisi for a new trial. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Justice ALDERSON sat this day at Nisi Fritts, in the Duchy of Lancaster Court, and was occupied with causes of no public interest. COURT OF ADMIRALTY.-(THIS DAY) THE TII ETIS. In the case of the Thetis frigate, which was lost solve time since off the coast of Rio Janeiro, with nearly a mil lion dollars on board, the King's Advocate applied to the Court this morning to have the dollars which have been saved from the wreck, and which have reached this country' to be delivered to the owners or consignees out of the Treasury, where they are at present. Sir C. ROBINSON said it would be a difficult point t° ascertain the consignees, or to find out the owners of th e bullion saved. He directed that the dollars should b e paid to the owners, proprietors, or consigneess. It was stated in Court, the whole of the dollars vible" were in the Thetis when she was wrecked, except 5 1)0 4 90,000, have arrived in this country, so successful hav e been the efforts of the salvors. The remaining 90° 1 dollars, it is understood, are on their way to England• CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT' CENTRAL BOARD OF HEALTH. COUNCIL OFFICE, WHITEHALL.—(THIS DAY.)
