POLICE I \ TELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. AITLICATION FOR PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE LITERARY ( iAZETTE.—Yesterday,Mr. Judge, a gen tlemats ronnected, we believe, with some portion of the Public Press, came before Mr. MiNsum, and ap plied for a summons against Mr. Wm. Armiger Scripps, the publisher of The Litera , : , sGazette and Journal of the Fine Arts, 6-c., to show cause why he should not be made to ptiky a fine of 20/. for pub lishing articles of news ta p unstamped paper. Mr. Judge applied tin behalf of persons deeply in terested in the 'question, and his appliratfo n w a s grounded upor, the Act of the 39th ()to. 111. cap. 7S, which imposes a penalty of nut less than 20/. upon cry person who shall print or publish any arti visa of news upon caller than stamped paper. Mr. iThysnum—Can you show that the publi cation of which you complain contaito , r7, - !•ws ? It is a ritost difficult matter to define what is and what is not to be considered news within the meaning of this Act of Parliament, Mr. Judge said he tholught he could show the Magistrate to entire satisfaction that the publication in question did ciinrai n net's, and banded in a nnmber of The Literary Gae/te, in whic!, were several marked sr tides which he said those on whose behalf he ap peared considered of such a description as came clearly within the meaning of the Act. 11c believed it had been already decided that reports of proceeding at public meetings of literary societies, or of any other institutions of any kind, must be considered as forming a record of the passing events, and there fore were most decidedly articles of news. This publication, his Worship would find, did contain such reports, besides other articles of intelligence of a miscellaneous kind. Mr. MlNsuret. glanced over one ot two of the marked articles, and said he was of opinion with the applicant, that the publication did contain news within the meaning of the Statute. Mr. Judge—Then, Sir, I presume you will grant me N summons against Mr. Scripps. •Mr. MINSHULL—Yes, Sir. On what day would you like the case to come on for hearing Mr. Judge—Why, Sir, as I have every desire that the defendant should have ample notice, in order to prepare in - the best manner for his defence, I would sty nn Wednesday next. Mr. MlNsttuee—Let it he to; and a summons was accordingly issued for the attendance of Mr. Scripps on that day. It was understood in the office that this proceed irig has originated with the proprietors of some of the cheap publications which, have increased so much in number recently. The question will, doubt less, excite much interest in the literary world. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday three young men of r e spectable ap pearance, named Evill, Orr, and Siddons (disciples of the Rev. Mr. Irving), were charged with ob structing the thoroughfare, and creating a mob, by preaching in Eliza-place, Sadlet's Wells. The po lice had previously cautioned them against dr:ing \vrong, but they insisted on their right, and pro duced the Bible, from which they read extracts, curl endeavoured to show that the people of Eng -14,4d had roused the anger of their God, who was about to punish them with plague and pestilence. The secretary to the New River Company appeared en their behalf, and observed, that the defendants were highly respectable young men; and he was convinced it was their intention, if possible, to do food. When taken into custody, they were preach ing near his house to a very orderly assembly, and he considered they were doing no harm. Mr. ROGERS remarked that, as respectable men, they ought to confine themselves to places set apart for public worship. It was not his wish to stop the progress of Chri,tianity, but it was not proper that streets should be blocked up in the manner re presented to him. If they were again brought before hint, he should hold them to bail. The Secretary wished to know under what Act the defendants were liable to be held to bail ; but Mr. ROGERS said that he had disposed of the case, and more on the subject he would nut say. THAMES POLICE. Yesterday Hyman Isaacs, a wealthy Jew, aged 60, and Afary Ann Timms, a woman of loose cha racter. were charged with stealing about 161. from Mr. Smith, of the Excise-office. The affair was a strange one. The prosecutor was induced to ac company the female to Isaacs' house, when it .ap reared that Isaacs entered the room in the course of the night, and stole 131. in notes from the prose cutra's trousers'-pocket. The female subsequently took the silver, when the Jew, in order to make a show of honesty, pursued the gd.l on her retreat, to cover his own crime. Both prisoners were com niitted for trial. QUEEN-SQUARE, EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE AND RIOT AT THE I4'E:4TMINSTER HoSPITAL —Ofr Wednesday after noon, tlie inhabitants in the neighbourhood of the Westminster Hospital were throw►► into great alarm, consequence of the following daring outrage corn mitted - by a body of Irishmen at that Institution. It appeared that an Irish labourer, who had been for some time ih, di e d in the Hospital about two o'clock in the morning. Between twelve and one o'clock the same day a body of men came to the Hospital, and made a forcible entrance. Their numbers were so great that all resistance was use less. The mob ransacked every pl.ce to find the body of the deceased, arid at last broke into a room where the body had been deposited in a shell. They instantly hoisted it on their shoulders and went away. By this time the crowd assembled out side was very great, anti it increased as the men carried the body through the streets. Information was instantly sent by the authorities at the Hospital to the station-house in the New-way, and in a very short time Mr. Lowry, the superintendent of the B division, and about 60 men, az rived, and they traced the corpse to a house in Somers-yard, C iburg-row, Tothil!.fields, a place chiefly inhabited by Irish la bourers. After some resistance, the police forcibly entered the house, and found the body in the shel►, which they hoisted on their shoulders, and carried it through the streets again to the hospital, followed by an immense mob, and surrounded by a number of policemen. As they approached the hospital, about 20 men were sent forward to clear the way,' and keep the people from the door, and the corpse was at last safely deposited in the place from whence it had been taken. Several persons were taken into custody by the pollee: - and yesterday they were brought before Mr. Gregorie, at this office, and un derwent an examination. Michael Gibbon, a labourer, was the first pri soner placed at the bar. George King, .tlie porter at the hospital, stated that about half-past twelve o'c'ock in the afternoon a body of men, consisting of about 150 or 200, clime to the hospital, broke open the students' room and carried off the body of a man that had died that morning; they also took a shell and a sheet belong• rug to the establishment. The prisoner was one of the men. He stood at the door and instigated the men, He heard him cry out " Uo and get stories, and if thepolice come, - them, stone them well!" Other witnesses corroborated this statement. The prisoner, in reply, said that the deceased was a relation of his, and that the si.ter of the de ceased had applied early in the morning fur the body, and it was refused to be given up. Mr. Sydney Cruker, the Secretary to the hos pital, stated that, on the application of the friends of any deceased person who had died in the hos pital, the body was always delivered up. No appli cation had been made by any person for the body. The porter at the hospital confirmed this state ment. The prisoner was ordered to find bail for the riot, to answer the charge at the Sessions. Warrants were granted against several other persons. Ou inquiry, it appeared that none of the party were in the slightest degree related to the deceased, lthough most of them claimed being cousins. The sister of the deceased, instead of wishing the bod) to be removed, had requested that it might remain until Saturday. During the whole of the afternoon, om the variou3 rumours which were afloat, a nurri er of persons surrounded the hospital, and it was found necessary to station a body of the police i.ear the place. Towards dusk the mob had in. reared to nearly 2,000 persons. They showed no il,spoiiitivn to riot ; hut, for fear of another ettath, a body of men were placed inside thr lmtplial, and another party were statione4 *diltside, and there was also a reserve at rlic`,ll distance, should they be yawed. No tr.Tlher disturbance took place during the tlifhtsolnd the people, finding the police so strong, went home. MAR YLER QNE Wednesday a young woman ttncin. the cognomen of the Baroness De Lew.;pl.-,t, and X'osalie Fortier, who acted as her terVitut, were cherged with h'a'ving rob - - bed a ready-furnished house, No. Mr. Elder, of 9, Sherrarri-st=reet, N 7 I ty Fair, stated that a person, t . fifus,lf the B iron de Laurie, had engaged one nis furnished houses in Park place, on MZtiday week, at the rate of 31. re: week for twelve month s . The Bunn'that his lather was an Earl attached 'Court of Charles the Tenth, now in and that his own family were ",ql / .) , his wife, their servant, and one little boy. Prosecutor was referred at the time to Mr. Blanc, at King's.square, Islington. where he sent Mrs. E. to inquire, who saw that gentleman's own son, by a horn the account was confirentd that the Baron's father was sicUrved as described. Since then, however; he fotrid tha't. the Baron's es tablishment had iticretsfd to an interpreter, and do mes!ics of every serf, and that tradesmen had be come quite clamorous for the payment of their bills, Prosecutor, on hearing this, went to Park-nlate., and recluested to see the Baron ; but 1w told that he was from home. Being alorr.- he took the precau tion to lock the Banat e'sa and her maid into a room while he searrhe.d the house,:nd on finding a consi derable quattity of property gone, he called in a policeman and gave them in charge. While search ing the house, a foreign Jew kocked at the door, and wanted to see the Baron, who, he stated, had received goods of him to the amount of seven , y five pounds. Mr. Walter Varco, of No. Vie, king -street, Re gent-street, stated, that the prisoners took lodgings at his house abot't Christmas last ; the lady took the apartments, L'ad spoke broken English ; she took the apartments for herself, her servant, and child; witness asked her if she was a married lady, and she said " Me no husband ;" she said, as she had just come from Brighton, she could not give a reference arid he agreed to take them without ; they brought their luggage in about two hours af ter, and for four or five weeks paid their rent regu larly ; the B iron used to come as a visitor and spend part of the day with them; in about a week after they had been in witness's house, the Baron gave him an order for some clothes, to the amount of 61. 10s, which he said he would pay ready money for, adding, that he intended to marry Madame as , 00n as they were got ready, and he soon pretended th6y were married, and accordingly he came to wit• ness's house, and they lived as man and wife ; wit ness at length began to suspect their character, and madea demand on the Baron for payment of his ac count, which induced him immediately to decamp, and witness has not seen him from that day to this. Mr. William Austin, livery-stable-keeper, White Horse-yard, Windmill -street, stated, that the person styling himself the Baron de Larne came to him, while he was living at M , . Varcu's house, for the purpose of hiring a cabriolet ; he gave his name Arment de Launc; he engaged it for a month ; some time after it was in his possession it broke down with him in the city, and he then lent him a gig. Suspecting the character of the Baron, he applied to him for some money, but without success. Being at length convinced that he was a swindler, he one day accosted him in the presence of the Baroness, and told him that he was a cursed swindler, and that the woman was not his wife. Soon after this he decamped from his lodgings, and he has not since seen him. Several pawnbrokers were in attendance to prove the pawning of the goods, but their evidence went principally to show whether the female servant could be implicated as a party in the transaction. No positive proof of guilt being brought home against .her, she was discharged. Madame de Laune being asked, through an interpreter, whether she was a married woman, answered in the negative. She was then remanded, and orders given for the Baron to be looked after. The Baroness refused to be separated from her child, an interesting boy; and the scene was of so affecting a nature, that Mr. Raw Nilson was pleased to direct that the mother and her offspring should not be parted. It is said they have been committing their depre;- dations to a very large extent among the tradesmen at the west end of the town. They are suspected to be the same gang of swindlers who were figuring away some time ago at Brighton. Yesterday morning the Baron De Laune, whose lady was examined on Wednesday, was brought be fore Mr. HOsKINs in custody of John Roder ck, S 130, from N 0.2, Great Chesterfield-street, Alaryle bone, where he was taken by stratagem on the pre vious night. John Roderick deposed, that from information he received; he repaired to the house in question at half-past nine o'clock in the evening, and in about half an hour the Baron, who had come to inquire for aportmanteau he had left there, knocked at the door and came in; but the instant he saw Mr. Elder and the constable he endeavoured to escape, but was prevented by the policeman, who took him into custody while passing the door, when he ex claimed, "Ah ! mon Dieu T. je suis perdu." P o _ !iceman then proceeded on the way; but they had no sooner reached the corner of Woodstock -street, than the Baron said, " You've made a mistake, I am not him (the Baron); if you come with Rae I'll show the Baron to you." Prisoner there attempted to induce the policeman to turn into Woodstock.. mews, which was refused, when he struggled to escape. Both rolled against the wall, on which Roderick called for the police, when two of the D division came up to his assistance. The witness was himself in private clothes. After he reached the station-house be was searched, when 40 dupli cates were found in the skirts of his coat, likewise his card-case and 16a.5fi1. in money. • • ;Mr. Elder deposed Co several of the duplicates being for articles which belonged to his furnished house, and directions were given to get the pawn brokers in attendance with the pledges. The prisoner, in his defence, said that the articles were pawned without his knowledge, and that his reason for leaving the house was, because the person of whom Mr. E. rented it was about to put in an exe cution. Mr. Elder said, in explanation, that he owed his landlord no rent, but he wished him to put in an execution, in order to get them turned out. The prisoner was remanded until this day, when he will will be brought up with the Baroness. Mr. Elder said, that from circumstances which had come to his knowledge, he believed that the Baron and his lady had performed at Portsmouth as Ty. rolese minstrels. The prisoner is from '25 to 30 years of age, about five feet ten inches high, slight itt figure, has blue eves, lightish hair, but having just shaved off his whiskers, is not altogether so easily to be recognised as formerly. He applied for his modicum of money, which was objected to. Being told that Madame had confessed that they never were married, be seemed much affected, and exclaimed, " Ah t. celateimporte ! EUe est moi-meme " When locked up by Burridge, the officer, who acted as his interpreter, he requested pens, ink, and paper, which were granted him, when he proposed to fur nish what he called a transcript of his bitter fate. Nothing could affect his serenity but mentioning the situation of his infant and its mother. He appeared to be philosophically cool, and indignantly calm. He persists in being the Baron De Laurie, and - clares that he was lortnerly an officer in the French infantry, that he is a carlist in polities, and that his father is attached to the family of their Sovereign now in exile; and he denied, with warmth, all in tension of imposing on the honesty of shopkeepers, he being still expectant of large property.

"SIRE—We, the undersigned, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, inhabitants of the city of Canterbury and its vicinity, most humbly approach your Majesty to express our joy and thankfulness that God has been pleased to bless the labours of several Societies in Ireland formed to afford instruc tion to our fellow-subjects. In the midst of the powerful and unceasing opposition of the Roman Catholic Priesthood, edu cation and the knowledge of the Scriptures have been progres sively advancing in the Island, until we have reason to believe that near half a million of scholars are receiving the benefit of instruction in the word of God. " We therefore feel it to be our duty, with all humility, to lay at the foot of the Throne the expression of our grief that Parliament should, in spite of such manifest good, have with drawn its aid from one of the most efficient of those Societies upon the unprotestant objection that the reading of the Holy Scriptures without note or comment is obnoxious to the Roman Catholic Church ; and that your Majesty, under mistaken ad. vice, should have been persuaded to issue a Commission for Education in Ireland, a prominent feature of which is dirse t tly at variance with one of the first principles of the Reformed. Re. ligion, for the maintenance of which your Majesty's ancestor's were placed on the British Throne. " We, therefore, most humbly but most earnestly implore your Majesty that you will be graciously pleased to revoke the Commission, which, as Protestants, we deem to inflict an im proper restraint on religious liberty; and as Christians we be lieve to be directly opposed to the Divine Will, and to the present and future welfare of your Majesty's subjects. " And your Majesty's dutiful subjects will, as in duty bound, ever pray," &c.

LITERARY NOVELTIES.—Whatever may be said of the present state of literature, it is quite certain that no former season has been so rich as the present in works in fiction. There are at this moment contending for priority of fame no less than four works, each of considerable merit. The first is the new production of Mr. Horace Smith, the well-known au thor of " Brambletye House," and " Zillah," entitled " Tales of the Early Ages," a work full of novelty, information and amusement, displaying all that fertility of invention, liveliness of style, and picturesque powers of description, which have cha racterised the other productions of this popular writer. The nar ratives comprise stories of Jerusalem, Greece, Egypt, Germany, Britain.--2, A new novel by Mr. Galt, the famed author of " the Ayrshire Legates," and " Lawrie Todd," designated " Stanley Buxton, or the Schoolfellows," which is characterised by this writer's usual acuteness and originality. The third work is Mr. Leigh Hunt's " Sir Ralph Esher, or Adventures of a Gentleman of the Court of Charles II," in which all the ce l e b ra ted characters of that ga y per i o d are exhibited in the most vivid eolouys.-4. The " Adventures of a Younger Son," in reality those of the celebrated Trelawney, the intimate friend of Lord Byron. ON DlT.—During an interview, some days since, between an Illustrious Personage and an Ambassador for his family dominions, the Monarch is said to have addressed the diplomatic to the following effect :—" I hear there is a great deal of correspondence going forward between yoitr capital and Berlin, wherein that Court is strongly urged to delay the ratification of the Belgian treaty till the Reform Bill is thrown out ; now, write to your people that the Reform Bill will not be thrown out, that it will pass —nay, it shall pass; and, likewise tell them this, that no Minister ever possessed a King's confidence so entirely as Earl Grey does at this mo ment."—Merning Advertiar. • ..

T. ERSKINE, C. J. A. PELL, J. J. CROSS, J. G. ROSE, J, Approval this 27th day of March, 1832, BROUGHAM, C. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Times private correspondent.) PARIS, APRIL 1 I.—The cholera still continue, :ts ravage, but its intensity seems a little abated, a the official bulletin shows, which contains the num bers from Monday noon 10 raterday at the stun. hour. It is ac follows i Attickcd. Dead. Males 593 I Males Females 387 I Females . Total from commencement on the 26th ult. to yesterday noon, 5,908 attacked, and 2,233 died, within the walls of Paris. The following notice has been published in the Moniteur, under the name of COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday an adjourned Couit was held for the despatch of such business as had not been completed on the preceding day. Almost the entire day being taken up in discus sing some regulations relating to the library, and other private matters, Mr. SAVAGE rose to bring forward a motion to this efft ct :—" That the order of the Calm of the 15th March last, for closing Farringdon-market from twelve o'clock on Saturday evening to the same hour on Sunday night, be rescinded, and that the market be kept open on Sunday morning until a quarter before eleven o'clock." Mr. DEATH supported the motion. Mr. HARMER followed on the same side. Mr. SLADE deprecated the false show of religion that was creeping fast through this country. In Ca tholic Fiance, where the Sabbath was not so rigidly observed, there was not one half the amount of capital crime tls here. Mr. THORNHILL opposed the motion. lie did not think it would redound much to the credit of the Corporation of London to encourage the pro fanation of the Lord's day. He could not consider it a restriction of liberty that Sunday should be de voted to religion and rest ; if it were not so devoted the poor would be consigned to hopeless unrespited slavery. Mr. Savage perhaps would wish the people— " To be as free as Nature first made man, " Ere the vile laws of servitude began, " When wild in woods the noble Savage ran." (Great cheers and laughter.) Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR was glad to hear the argu ments and eloquence of the last speaker, because he, on the last occasion on which this subject was brought forward, heard him give all the weight of his talents to the other side. In Protestant and Catholic states on the continent,where this pharisaical rigour was not enforced, there was a much smaller amount of crime than in England. He was opposed - 16=ifirs species of Judaism, as unworthy of an en lightened age, and pregnant with evil. The Bishop of Exeter, the other night in his place in Parliament, took it on himself, while opposing the King's Mi nisters and the wishes of the people from whom he derived his vast revenues, to lecture the Archbishop of Dublin on his want of true Protestantism. The LORD MAYOR rose to order. The speaker was travelling into foreign matter. Mr. TAYLOR said that his object was to show that a man may make a great parade of religion, and practice little of itr doctrines; for he had heard it stated that that very Bishop spent the following Sunday night in a club-house.---(Hear, hear.) He supported the motion. After a long and stormy debate the motion was lost by a large majority. The -Court then broke up at six o'clock. M. CASSIMIR PERIER. ( From the Morning Chronicle.) M. Casimir Perier is seriously ill. his health has been gradually declining. Ile who was once so athletic and vigorous, has now become weak and emaciated, and his fine manly limbs are shrunk up by disease and decay. The attack under which he now immediately suffers has been declared to be one of cholera morbus, but of this there are some doubts. Some three years since he was a sufferer from a similar disorder. M. Perier is prematurely old—worn our, and exists only by false excitetrent and artificial means. The violence of his passions destroys his men tal repose—his body, which is feeble, sympathizes with his mind—his liver is diseased—he is frequently subject to diarrhoea—and the irritability of his tem per interferes with his sleep, and the ordinary re freshments of nature. The illness of M. Perier at the present moment is by no means surprising to his friends or his family. He has held up a long while —he has postponed, with great care and attention, all that could disturb his health; but at length fa tigue, anxiety, the knowledge that all the friends of his youth and maturer years reproach him, and sepa rate themselves from him ; and above all, the con sciousness that his political system must expire with him, for there is no one to take it up, and the nation is opposed to it; all these circumstances have pressed him down; and as his stomach is his feeblest organ,the malady has there attacked him. M. Perier cannot for some time, even should his recovery be rapid, hope to resume the duties of President of the Council. The illness of M. Perier has greatly annoyed and rendered sad ,arid anxious Louis-Philippe atid all his family. When first the King was ap prised of the danger of M. Perier, he struck his forehead, and exclaimed, " Ah, mon Diett ! it ne nous manquerait plus que eels." He has been since then continually agitated—affected even to tears— and has kept himself solitary, and refused all visits and pleasures. Poor Louis-Philippe ! a good honest bourgeois, who loved his money and his family, ease and prosperity—and who undertook to govern France as a shopkeeper governs his apprentices and his establishment ! Money, peace, ease arid com mercial prosperity—these are the idols of the citizen King. M. Perier has the same sentiments—the passions—the same desires; and Louis-Philippe, found in him riot only a faithful Minister, but a friend having the same views and wishes. It has been a deplorable alliance for France—for Poland—for Bel gium—for Italy—for Spain—and for Germany ! But Louis-Philippe would feel himself alone in the world if he were deprived of M. Perier--for they have t he same object constantly in view—to raise the Funds, and to purchase peace.—O. P. Q. The Earl of iVlulgrave's new book to be called " The Contrast" will, we understand, be before the public in a few days. From what has transpired of the nature of the story, it might be supposed to be founded on that re markable fact in the annals of the house of Exeter, connected with the marriage of the late Marquess to the daughter of a person in humble life, who did not know, till after the wedding, to what a dignity she had been elevated. The circumstances attendant on the alliance of the hero of Lord Mulgrave's tale differ, however, essentially from those which marked the life of the late excellent Marchioness of Exeter. . The Moniteur contains a Royal ordinance, which publishes the law adopted by the Chambers for the exclusion from the soil of France of Charles X., h s descendants, and the wives of his descendants. I also contains another of yesterday's date, signed by Marshal Soult, by which Count Bourrnont, as no! having taken the oaths required by the charter, was declared to have resigned the grades he held of Marshal, &c. The Journal des Debats says, that the statement published by several French and foreign journals of the approaching collision between Belgium and Holland, by the Dutch Monarch's commencing the attack are without foundation. It sates, in continu ation, thus—" We know not what are the other pre jects of the King of Holland, but certainly lie doe. not wish to attack Belgium. Never was peace wore probable—we may even say more certain." In the Chamber of Deputies yesterday, the re tort of the commission appointed to examine the du . . 1 falcation of Kesner was brought up. This report vhich is of great lem2th, entered into a detailed ,istoty of M Kesner's life, dwelling particularly on the well-earned repu.ation which he had enjoyed up the moment of his disappearance. It then re lated, equally in detail, all the circumstances of his light and attempted suicide, and proceeded to state the amount of property recovered to be 1,730,0001 leaving a deficiency due to Government of about t,500,000r. His private ,deht;,',(sevetal of which are to different members of his family) athoiint to upwards of 3,000,000 f., and are of course wholly improvided for. The report censured in strong terms the blind system of cotifi knee by which a cashier could be enabled to pursue without detection so ex tensive a system of peculation, and recommended that means should be immediately taken to prevent the recurrence of a similar event ; at the same time it stated, that the blame must attach wholly to the Villele Administration, by which M. Kesner was appointed without suffitient guarantees, since Baron otii, the present Minister of Finance, only adopted the confidence in M. Reiner bequeathed to hitt b r his predecessors. When the evil was discovered, every possible means were taken to remedy it, and secure the person and property of the defaulter, and it was impossible for an instant to re fuse to recognize the perfect good faith and purity of intention of the Minister of Finances. The Chamber afterwards proceeded to vote the ways and means prior to the prorogation. In the Chamber of Peers the Duke de Noailles, in bringing up the report of a petition of General Lambot, lately aide-de-camp to the Duke de Bour bon, praying for an inquiry before the Chamber into the circumstances a'tendmg the death of the Duke de Bourbon, entered into a full history of the pro ceedings, and concluded by stating, that although he was bound to propose the older of the day on the petition, because it would be inconsistent with the rules of the Chamber to take up an inquiry not commenced by it in the first instance, but already disposed of elsewhere, he must, in the mune of 'the Committee, render homage to the virtues of the last of the Conches, and rope', with all his energy, the idea of suicide, which was an insult to the me mory of the Duke. The Keeper of the Seals referred to an observa tion made by the Noble Duke in the course of the proceedings, which implied that M. de Huproie, Corteiller de la Cour Royale, who had reported to the Court on the case, had been removed, in order to prevent his supporting the conclusions of that report at the trial, and stated that in fact M. de la Huproie had himself solicited permission to retire, with the usual pension, after 33 years' service. The Chamber passed to the order of the day on the petition. The Gazette of Augsburg, of the 7th instant, states that the Pope has consented to allow the French troops to occupy Ancona for some time longer, but their number is to be diminished. The Italians have begun to use the stiletto there. A PaFal officer has been assassinated there. Dun Manuel de Camara, Chamberlain to Donna Maria, has arrived from Terceira with despatches, which are said to be of an old date. The Prus•ian Government has established a qua rantine of five days for persons going from Paris into the It:ettatte provinces. The news from Madrid states that the troops that lately left that capital, and at first halted some leagues from it, have continued their march towards the Portuguese frontiers. They consist of seven battalions of infantry, a regiment of cuirassiers, and thirteen pieces of cannon. Don Tadeo Calomarde, the favourite Minister of Ferdinand, well known for his support of absolute principles, has received throe titles. The Quee n of Naples has procured for him from her son the title of Duke of Elizabeth, as he has been the great means of having two of her daughters married into the Royal Spatti,ll family. am Miguel has given him the title of Marquess d'Almeida, and Ferdinand has added the title of Conde de Tarascon. Calomarde has his will made, by which he leaves all his .fortune to the King, Ferdinand, if he survive him, or to his succe , sors. The French" funds Nitre been stationary to-day.

As John Rogers, quarryman, and another person, who were at work at St. Vincent's rocks, near Bristol, were preparing to blast a rock, they heard the rock crack, and apprehending danger, Rogers gave the ramming bar to the other man, and told him to get out of the way ; but, betore he could himself move off, the rock, upwards of forty tons, fell and crushed him to death.—Bath Gazette. • A letter from Strasburg!) states that an epi- • demic disease of the eyes, called the hemerapolie, has become prevalent at Belfort (Haut Rhin). It has this peculiar cha racter, that those who are affected by it lose their sight f ro m the setting to the rising of the sun. Some symptoms of this singular complaint have been felt at Strasburg, but have hi therto yielded to the treatment adopted.

By a recent decision of the Committee of Privileges in the House of Lords, the Earl of Shrewsbury has been confirmed in all his Irish honours, and is now, as Earl of Waterford, Premier Earl of Ireland, and also hereditary Lord High Steward of that kingdom. Whenever the Sovereign visits the Irish portion of his dominions, Lord Shrewsbury will now be entitled to discharge in the household of the King the same high functions in Ireland which the hereditary Lord High Steward of England performs on occasions of ceremony.--. Derby Mercury. LORD MULGRAVE AND MR.

The Rev. Mr. Campbell, the head of the Row heresy, has been holding forth this week in Greenock at the Methodist Chapel. One of the gifted sisters attended his field meeting on Sunday night, and addressed the brethren, several of whom departed the instant she commenced. THE WOOL TRADE.—The attention of the manufacturers and others interested in the wool trade was drawn yesterday and on Wednesday to sales of Van Diemen's Land, New South Wales, German, Odessa, and other wools. There was a pretty full attendance at the sales, and the bid dings were brisk. In all, above 300 bales were declared for sale. Yesterday afternoon Van Diemen's Land and Australia' , wools went off from Is. 3d. to Is. &I. per lb. Some Odessa wools fetched from Is. 6d. to Is. Sd. per Ib:, and the German wools from 10d. to Is. 4!h d. per lb. A few bales of good Nevi South Wales wools obtained Is. 94d. per lb. The result of those sales is that New South \Vales maintain their value, while other sorts are a shade lower. Further sales are about to take place. The arrivals of wools from Van Diemen's Lana and New South Wales during the present year are expected to be very great. Ir TALES OF THE EA RLY AGES. —The Wor just published under this title, furnishes fresh testimony to th e genius and research of Mr. Horace Smith, the popular Author of Brambletye House. It may be read with advantage by th e , religious and reflective, for th e sp i r i ted illustrations it gives o f the struggles and advances of Christianity; by the lover of history, for the animated portraitures it exhibits of those whose characters he has delighted to contemplate in graver page° and, by the general reader, for its romantic episodes, and th e rich variety of scenes and subjects it places before him. i‘ large share of popularity may be anticipated for a production which addresses its attractions to so many tastes. ASSIZE MEMORANDA.—LITERARY CHA‘ RACTER.— At the assizes at Wisbeach, last week, during the trial of the worse than' brutal affair at Tid St. Giles, a witnes s (Samuel Eglington) being called upon to speak to the precis e day, said he knew it, because he afterwards looked over Moore , Alinanack,—for nothing, however, particular, and lie could not tell why.--The Judge, appearing to doubt his capacity to reads ordered an Almanack to be placed in his hand, and directed him to read its title. It was not, he said, like his own holt' ever, upon examination, he deliberately, and with due ea . phases pronounced it to be " The, Englishman's Altna' nack." " Quite correct," said his Lordship; " now read me any passage from the inside that may meet your eye.. , —The witness turned over the leaves, au d : at length read clearly and slowly from the remark s upon the weather,--` A. great ,d,ea , .; of snow in Jan- u . a . ry pro-mi.ses a fer-tile year.

" The sana•ory state of Paris is much more satis factory this day than on the preceding day ; the number of persons attacked has diminished by 11, and that of the deaths by 39. If this redtiction continues to take place in the returns of to-morrow, one may be allowed to consider the period of the in. Crease of the cholera as terminated. Besides, all the reports of the medical men agree in declaring that the malignity of the disorder tends sensibly to grow weaker : a great number of convalescents have this day left the hospital. " The progressive diminution of the mortality will augment necessarily the population of the hos pitals, and therefore the Commission named by the Prefect of the Seine, and which is composed of MM. Benjamin Delessert, Sanson Davillier, Co chin, and Lafaullotte, redoubles its zeal and acti vity, in order to increa e the resources : 1,500 beds, with all the blankets, &c., have been purchased at a most advantageous price. New purchases are about to he made; and by adding the 1,000 mattresses and blankets, &c., given by the King, and the mul tiplied gifts of public charity, a sufficiency will be ready for the cases of necessity. The granary in which the surplus corn used to be kept (grenier cr abondance) is about to be transformed into a tem porary hospital; and the quickest preparations are making in it for that purpose. A room, with 100 beds, is now ready in it; and on Thursday 600 beds will be prepared in this large building. The preparations are going forward with the same ra pidity in the house called the "Bons Hommes," where 600 beds will be ready on Thursday. " At St. Sulpice and at the Lazaristes, two small hospitals are prepared, of 76 and 40 beds. " M. Matus, the banker, has generously given a large building for the purpose, and an anonymous personage has undertaken to place in it an hospital of 100 beds. " The association for gratuitous instruction has offered to prepars an hospital of 100 beds. Several members of the association, many of them ladies, propose to take thern•el yes the necessary care of the sick. The medical assistance will ba supplied by MM. Magendie and Roston. " The subscriptions of the day amount to .55,159 f. 91c. . _ _ i‘ Never was public charity manifested with so much eclat as on this painful occasion, and never has it made more efforts to afford solace to a cala mity, which, fortunately, is but a passing one, and the intensity of which diminishes clearly to the eyes of all." The two folloning bulletins, relative to the health of M. Casimiryerier, have been published this day : " April I I, One o'clock, a.m. " M. the President of the Council continues to grow better and better; no obstacle has occurred to prevent the favourable progress of the malady, and the opinion of the physicians is, that the invalid is entering into convalescence." " April I One o'clock, p.m. " M. the President of the Council r has this morning supported very well the commeucementpof his taking some food. Careful attention will be necessary for some days, but his recovery appears certain." The number of persons of note attacked conti nues to augment. Among them is the Prince CA telcicala, the Neapolitan Ambassador, but his attack is described as not very serious. In the Spanish Ambassador's suite, some persons are ill, and one died. Madame Perier, wife of Scipion Perier, brother of the Prime Minister, died yesterday of the cholera, as also M. Besson, an ancient Prefect, and several persons emplo)ed in the public departments. The name of the Peer of France who died on Tuesday, is M. Boissel de IVlonville. The funeral of M. Chauvelin, forty years ago Ambassador in London, known during the revolution and since as a liberal deputy, took place yesterday. . It is hoped that the President of the Council will be soon able io resume his duties as Minister, and therefore the nomination of an ad interim Minister has not taken place. The cholera has extended its ravages to all the villages on the banks of the Seine, and its connect ing rivulets. It seems now expected that it will be disseminated all over France. M. Seguier, the First President of the Cour Roy ale, and several members of the bar, are ill, but it is hoped not seriously. The fright of many of the ladies seems to les•en. Some noble examples of benevolence and charity are shown by them. Several ladies of title, one of them a countess, have gone to attend the sick in the hospitals. Many of the excellent Sisters of Charity have already fallen victims to their noble heroism. _ . _ The north-west dis'rict of Paris still continues the least infected. The weather is still variable, and the heat of the atmosphere very changeable. It is feared, if the wind changes from the north-east, where it has been fixed rather roughly during some time, that the malady will ravage also that most airy quarter. The typhus, which the common people call the plague, continues to decimate the south-western quarter, and is also at the Hotel-Dieu. Among the remedies to purify the atmosphere, the firing off of cannon has been spoken of; but the medical board does r►ot think it would be useful. Perhaps, as affording some satisfiction to the inha bitants, it may lessen their alarm. The Duke d'Aumale, who since the commence ment of the prevailing epidemic has not discontinued his regular attendance at the College of Henry IV., has just distributed 2,000 portions of soup to the poor of the 12th urrondisement, in which the C is situated. The young Prince has also con tributed 100 francs to the subscription making in all the Colleges of the capital on behalf of the poor. The Duke of Orleans yesterday went to the Mi litary Hospital of Val-de-Grace, and visited all the wards, but-paid particular attention to that in which the cholera patients were placed, to every one of whom he spoke with kindness and encouragement, tak ng the hands of many to ascertain the degree of inten sity of their disease. His Royal H ghness had scarcely retired, when the Archbishop of Paris en tered, accompanied by M. Morogue, the chaplain. The Prelate went round in like manner to each suf ferer, addressing them in the language of conso lation.
