In compliance with the summonses, issued the week before last, for a Cabinet Council at the Foreign Office this afternoon, at two o'clock, the several Cabinet Ministers began to assemble shortly before the appointed hour. Lord John Russell and Viscount Palmerston came to town soon after one o'clock from Windsor Castle, where their Lordships had been visiting the Queen. The Marquis of Lansdowne, the Lord President of the Ccluncil, also came to London from Bowood Park, Wilts. The Lord Chancellor arrived to attend the meeting of his colleagues from Copse Hill. The following were the Members of the Cabinet present on the occasion :—Lord John Russell (First Lord of the Treasury), the Marquis of Lansdowne (Lord President), the Lord Chancellor, the Right Ron: the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Earl G rey (Secretary of the Colonies), Viscount Pal rneriton (Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs), the Right Hon. Sir George Grey (Secretary for the Home De partment), the Earl of Aucklan4 (First Lord of the Admiralty), the Marquis of Clan ricarde (Postmaster-General), the Right Hon. Sir John C. Hobhouse (President of the Right Hon. HenryY Labouchere (President of the Board of Trade), Viscount Morpeth (Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests), and the Right Hon. Thomas B. Macaulay (Paymaster of the Forces). The Ministers remained in deliberation lip to ths hour when we were compelled to go to prest. It was the first Cabinet Council since the dissolu tion of Parliament, and as all the Ministers have made arrangements to remain some five or six weeks in town, it is generally thought that there will be a succession of Councils this month. The infamous BEAUVALLON has at length received the penalty of his numerous offences against the laves, and his heinous deeds of immorality. After mur dering his friend in coil blood—after evading the grasp of justice by flight into the Peninsula—after perjuring himself with the utmost deliberation and effrontery in two successive trials, he has now en- I hanc.d the ignominy of his character by striving to defame an honourable man by the calumnious letters of n flagrant adulteress. But BEAtiVALLON has at length passed through the fiery ordeal of a public examination—he consummated a life of de bauchery and villany, and has just been condemned to a sentence of eight years' reclusion, with his credit blasted, and his name the synonym of everything that is most impure and unprincipled in Parisian society. It were superfluous to recapitulate the circum stances of a transaction which has long since been so notorious; for in the whore history of duelling no catastrophe is associated with such criminal disclo sures as the murder of the unfortunate DIJJ.LRRIER by the hands of bis associate BEAVVALLON. It can not be so speedily forgotten that the quarrel between these young men arose amidst the frivolities of a dis reputable reunion, and that the casual difference which had for a moment interrupted the rattle of the dice-box and the pleasantries of a licentious company, was followed within a period of a few hours by one of the most dastardly homicides ever perpetrated beyond the limits of the Boulevards. Although the chief stipulation of the duel was that neither of the principals should be acquainted with the pistols, it was satisfactorily proved that BEAVVALLON had on the fatal morning borrowed them from his brother in-law, GARNIER DE CASSAGNAC, had practised with them at a target in the garden of his second, M. D'ECQUEVILLET, had thus rendered himself familiar with their capabilities, while his victim was shuddering in the raw atmosphere at daybreak, and had arrived at the rendezvous, steady of finger, resolute of will, unsparing in cruelty, unforgiving, unrelenting, ripe for murder, perjury, and calumny. BEADVALLON was a marks man of consummate skill—what is vulgarly called a dead shot. On arriving at the Bois de Boulogne, one of the surgeons (M. DE BERTRAND) inadvertently handled one of the weapons produced by D'Eccluz vimarr. The barrel was still warm with the explo sions of gunpowder. He inserted his finger at the muzzle, and drew it forth blackened. Besides this decisive testimony, corroborative evidence was fur nished by M. DE MRTNARD, a gentleman who had ac tually accompanied BEADVALLON to the garden of and witnessed the skilful practice of the duellist. Such were the prominent particulars of this transaction—particulars which of themselves would have been sufficient to render Bzauvaixon the objeet of universal abhorrence. Of themselves, we repeat, they would have been sufficient. There is ample reason for our regarding with the most unmi tigated indignation a man who could so violate all the principles of morality, and bear under the garb of a petit maitre all the duplicity of a Valentino, and all the callousness of a Thug. But to these original transgressions against the Code of Christianity, BEAUTALLON has added a baseness and an audacity of vice such as has no immediate parallel in the re cords of criminality. To save his principal from condemnation under the charge of homicide, M. D'ECQUETILLET swore on the original trial which followed the destruction of Du- JARRIER, that the account of the practice with the pistols at a target in his garden, on the morning of the duel, was, from first to last, a lie and a fabrica tion. The verdict given in by the jury upon this occasion pronounced the assertions of M. D'ECQUE VILLET to be altogether without foundation, and in consequence he was formally brought up to the bar a short time since on a second charge—a charge of perjury. During that inquiry it will be remembered that BEAUVALLON returned the generous false-swear ing of his second by protesting that the declarations of D'ECQUEVILLEY were accurate throughout. D'ECQUEVILLET was convicted of perjury, and his principal was thereby prosecuted for a similar offence. After a preliminary investigation before the Chambre des Mises en Accusation, BEAUVALLON was brought to trial before the Court of Assize, and that trial has just terminated in the manner already mentioned. It is scarcely so much to the aggregate villanies of the accomplished murderer of DU‘ARRIER that we direct attention, as it is to the climax of his unprincipled career, as shown in the line of defence adopted by himself and his advocate. Were the imagination taxed to devise some contrivance whereby his infamy as a murderer and a perjurer could be enhanced, none could be conceived more entirely in accordance with the manifest turpitude of his dis position. Instead of directly endeavouring to rebut the assertions as to his familiarity with the pistols of GARNIER DE CASSAGNAC, BEA.UVALLON strove to exculpate himself by traducing the character of an honourable witness. And these calumnies against M. us Marmaap, were conveyed, be it remembered, through the indecorous love letters of a nameless adulteress. In those remarkable and most suspicious epistles, DE MEYNARD is stated to have sworn, in the presence:of the writer, that he would wreak his vengeance upon the head of BEAUVALLON, because of his having supplanted him in her unholy affections. It was consequently insinuated by the accused that the evidence of M. DE METNARD was the result of his jealousy. In every syllable, how ever, these singular communications betoken so much of adroitness as to render their authenticity most questionable. They would appear to have been concocted by the prisoner himself as the last resource of his ingenious villany. Alas for RoszasonD DE BEATPIALLON, for the promise of a brilliant destiny blasted at its outset, for a name that might have been enrolled upon the literature of France instead of becoming an object of perpetual and excessive opprobrium ! At twenty-four years of age he had acquired a certain amount of distinction as the redac teur of a popular journal, he had wen decorations of merit for the evidence of a precocious intellect, he had obtained a not unenviable position among the literati of Paris by the publication of a work which had received a most propitious recep tion. Instead of insuring to himself a continuance of these honours, he has wilfully plunged into an abyss of degradation from which he can never extri cate himself unsullied. He might well weep, and weep bitterly, when his counsel, M. CAPO DE FEIIIIe• LIDE apostrophised him as " the dear child of his affections." Alas 1 for that ROSEMOND DE BEAU vsizori, who might have shed a lustre upon his con temporaries, but who has covered himself with a disgrace that defies obliteration, and rendered him self, in a manner, the flagrant impersonation of a dis sipated capital and a degraded age. A strong feeling exists in many parts of the coun try against the collection on behalf of the distressed Irish, which is to be made under the authority of the QUEEN'S Letter, on Sunday next, the 17th instant, the day appointed for national prayer and thanks giving throughout the entire country for the late abundant harvest. Many who cordially concur in the propriety of celebrating the day by acts of bene ficence and mercy, and who think it a fitting opportu nity for obtaining the charitable alms of the wealthier portion of the several congregations for their poorer brethren, conscientiously object to the application of the sums so contributed to the relief of Irish distress, while so many in their more immediate neighbourhoods are suffering under the pressure of the times and the want of employment, which compel s them to relinquish many of their accustomed com forts, and to submit to many serious privations. Happily, in this country, that is the utmost extent to which the destitution can prevail, as the humane laws now acted on for three centuries, and the wealth and resources of the nation prevent the possibility of any perishing from want of the common necessaries of life. The objectors argue, and with great apparent reason, that we have already made the most gigantic exertions on behalf of Ireland; that during the past year no less than ten millions of pounds sterling were advanced from the coffers of the State, half as a gift, the remainder as a loan ; and, that in addition to that public and national assistance so freely rendered, more than seven hundred thousand pounds sterling were collected by voluntary contribu tions, and distributed in the most distressed districts. They bring forward the various scurrilous and abusive speeches that have been made, and letters that have been published in variou3 parts of Ireland, as evidences that these extraordinary acts, that should have excited the warmest feeling of gratitude, have not been duly appreciated, and they argue that such ingrates should n o t rece i ve any further assistance, of which they ha ve proved themselves wholly un worthy. In addition to the above they add that there is not now that absolute necessity therefor, inasmuch as, by the Act of last ses sion, the poverty of Ireland is entitled to relief out of its property ; that every single destitute person must be supported before one single shilling can be applied to the purposes of the landowners ; and that, therefore, any contributions now given, although no minally fur the suffering poor, will practically be for the benefit of Irish landlords', , a class no held in the THE SUN, LONDON, highest estimation as a body (although there are many honourable exceptions), and may enable them to evade the full performance of the duties now legally, as they were at all times morally, incumbent on them. We admit that there is. apparent justice in the latter part of this reasoning. The magnificent and disinterested assistance which we last year afforded entailed many difficulties on our own people, but it was freely and unhesitatingly given, and we are much mistaken, were a similar emergency again to happen, if equal aid would not again be as readily proffered, although it thereby became necessary to cut off all our comforts, and to limit even the ♦ery necessaries of life to the utmost. Yes, we would willingly share our last crust with our Irish brethren before they should perish from want, while we had an abundance or even a sufficien,cy. The ingratitude of the recipients, however worthy of censure, could not justify us in abandoning them to a wretched and miserable fate. Even if all were tainted with the crime, we should forgive our erring brother, however guilty he might be, but it would be the height of injustice to punish the innocent for the offences of a few. We believe that deep and heart felt thanks are rendered to their benefactors in the cottages of the labourers, preserved with their families from lingering and painful deaths by English benevo lence, and that however much the M'Hales or the La ffans might rail and vituperate, our prompt and efficacious assistance was appreciated by the humble classes, who reaped the benefit thereof. The only argument, therefore, requiring an answer to justify her MAJESTY'S Government in having sanctioned the general collection, and to induce the public generally to contribute liberally, is the last of those we have above set forth. Two letters, for which we shall endeavour to find room to-morrow, from persons whose autho rity cannot be impugned or controverted, furnish the most satisfactory reply thereto, and completely vindicate her MAJESTY'S Ministers from the charges that khave been brought, the compkints that have been uttered. The first is from Mr. TEE VELY" the Secretary of the Treasury, who may be presumed to speak with full authority as to the Ministerial intentions, and whose testimony, therefore, is unexceptionable. The other, on which it is chiefly based, is from Sir JoHN BUR GOYNE, whose recent experience in his important po sition as chief of the Relief Commissioners, must entitle his every statement and opinion to the greatest weight and authority, and who fully explains the reasons why another effort, such as that of last years is necessary. Mr. TREYELIAN distinctly and posi tively states— " That the new Poor-law will be enforced in Ire land to the utmost extent of the power of the Govern ment—that no assistance whatever will be given from national funds to those unions which, whether they have the will or not, undoubtedly have the power of maintaining their own poor—and that the collection of the rates will be enforced as far as it can be, even in those distressed western unions in which some assistance from some source or other must be given." This completely removes the fear that any portion of the sum about to be collected can be allocated or disposed of in a manner or to objects different from those contemplated by the donors. It is only where the circurpstances of the locality are such that the entire property of the district is insufficient for the support of its inhabitants, and that no exertions of the owners and occupiers of land would enable them to provide for the enormous mass of destitution, that any assistance whatsoever can be rendered. True it is that this lamentable state of things may, in a great degree, have been occasioned by the cul pable remissness, the adoption of an erroneous system by the fathers of, and, we may say, its continuance by, the present race. But much as we may condemn, justly as we may censure the folly of their con duct, we are not on that account to abandon them to their impending ruin. Sir Joni.; BURGOYNE has proved that although the eastern dis tricts, comprehending four-fifths of the country, may by considerable sacrifices struggle through the diffi culty, " the remaining fifth—that along the west — remains in the moat deplorable state, and has not within itself the possible power of relief; that Ire land in all parts is still in much distress, but along the west very active and extended benevolence is required to be eiserted from elsewhere to prevent the most hor rible scenes. That this calamity is continuous, and can only be gradually removed by a new order in the social system, which it will be the interest, and must be the effort, of all parties to introduce and accelerate." We heartily commend the letters to which we have referred to the consideration of our readers. We doubt not that they will remove the scruples, no doubt conscientiowly felt by many kind-hearted and benevolent persons, who feared the misapplication of their bounty, and that it will induce all who have the power to respond liberally to the invitation of their SOVEREIGN, and from their abundance to re lieve the wants of the needy and destitute, and in the most acceptable manner to testify their sense of the great mercies that have been vouchsafed to them, and the sincerity of their thanksgiving and gratitude. The Levant Mail brings advices from Constanti nople of the 28th, and from Athens of the BOth ult. The Porte has given effect to its resolution prohibit iug Greek commerce in Turkish ports, by ordering the cargoes of a vessels to be discharged. The Russian Minister had, it was said, protested against this proceeding. The Pachas of EGYPT and TUNIS have recognised the orders of the Porte to suspend relations with Greece. BEDEURAM BET was expected at Constantinople el the Zith. The cholera has broken out at Samsoon. The address of the Greek Chambers, in reply to the speech from the throne, appears in the Moniteur Gre• of the 30th. It is, as usual, an echo to the speech. General Gurves is at 'Tannins. Letters from Rome state that the Austrians were to evacuate Ferrara on the 3d instant. On the 2d a collision took place at Turin, between some soldiers of the infantry and artillery regiments, in which several were killed on both sides. The Grand Duke of TUSCANY has issued the follow ing additional motu proprio : " His Imperial and Royal Highness, being desir ous that whilst the organic and disciplinary regula tions of the Civic Guard continue to form the subject of the constant attention of the Royal Council of State, all the necessary arrangements may be pre-or dained for accelerating the formation of the said Civie Guard in the capital in such a manner as to secure, according to circumstances, an instantaneous service, nominates and appoints by these presents,— " Major-General the Chevalier Francesa Caimi to be the Commandant of the said Guard for the commu nity of Florence ; The Chevalier Gaetano Baceani to be Major in the above-mentioned quarter; " Chevalier Gaetano de Paali to be Lieutenant- Colonel Chief of Battalion in the quarter of Santa Croce ; " M. Pasquale Benini to be Major in the above mentioned quarter ; " The Marquis Chevalier Vincenzo Caffoni to be Chief of Battalion and Lieutenant-Colonel in the quarter of Santo Spirito; and " Professor Emilio Sauterelli to be Major of the said quarter. " The general Commander of the Civic Guard of Florence may take due and opportune measures for immediately carrying into effect, in a provisional manner, the service of the Civic Guard in Florence, availing himself of the citisens who, in due form of law, have already inscribed, or who may in future inscribe their names on the registers of enrolment opened in the respective quarters of the city, and who, in the exercise:of their functions, will wear, besides the national cockade, the distinctive device of a white and red riband on the left arm, until the regular uniform shall have been proposed and approved.

The tenders for this loan (which amounts to 10,000,0001. sterling) are to be handed in sealed at the hotel of the Minister of Finance, at twelve o'clock on the 10th Nov., and the Minister will place on the table a sealed paper containing the minimum price which will only be opened in case no tender shall have reached the minimum. A tender once delivered cannot be withdrawn. The different instal ments of the loan are to be paid as follows:—On the 22d of November, 1847, 12,500,000 f.; on the 22d of December, 12,500,000 f.; on the 7th of January, 1848, 5,000,000 f.; and afterwards 10,000,0001. monthly, on the 7th of each month, down to Novem ber, 1849, inclusive. The Union Monarchique has the following on the recent change of Ministry in Spain : "The Duke Decazes received yesterday morning from the Duke de Glucksberg, his son, Minister of France at Madrid, a letter containing the particulars of the change of Ministry in Spain. That letter was written in the night of the 3d, at two o'clock, A.m. The Duke de Glucksberg mentioned that he was awaiting, in order to clo se hi s l etter, t h e conc l us i on o f the conference which took place with the Queen, and which he had just learned. He announced the com position of the Cabinet under the Presidency of Nar• vaez, and added that the affair had been so well con ducted, and the secret so closely kept, that at mid night neither Salamanca nor any other Minister was aware of what was going on. When M. Salamanca was informed of it, it Was impossible for him to pre vent or ratard the change in the Cabinet. The reso lution adopted by the Queen was as prompt as the negotiation had been secret. The decree was signed between one and two o'clock, so that it might appear in the Gazette of the 4th. M. Decazes, on receipt of his son's letter, waited on Queen Christina, who had returned to Paris, from Malmaison, on Friday." It was rumoured in Paris that the change cost Louis PHILIPPE 48,0001., which being applied in the proper quarter, produced the consent of the unfor tunate QUEEN to perhaps the last change on which she will be permitted to give an opinion. Louts PHILIPPE, fearing that SALAMANCA would dissolve the Cortes, and that the new Cortes would re-establish the Salique law, as is ardently desired by the great majority of Spaniards, determined at once to pur chase all who could be purchased, and thus the change was brought about. It was supposed that NARVAEZ had already at tempted his grand coup, as the Madrid mail of the sth had not arrived in Paris on Sunday. Cuallama is to leave Paris immediately for Madrid. M. DE BEAUVALLON, ex•editor of the Epoque, a protege of M. GUIZOT, and the friend of NARVAEZ and CHRISTINA, whose duel with the unfortunate DUJARRIEE has already rendered him sufficiently notorious, was on Saturday found guilty of wilful and corrupt perjury, and sentenced to eight years' imprisonment. In the course of the trial, DE BEAU. vaLLort boasted of his intimacy with NARVAEZ. Noscitur a soeiis may be said of the Spanish Premier. The Duke D'AUMALE arrived at Algiers on the 6th instant.

This being the day to which Parliament stood pro rogued front the 21st of last month, their Lordships met shortly before two o'clock, for the purpose of further proroguing the Imperial Legislature to Thurs day, the llth of November. Among the Peers pre sent we noticed the Marquis of Clanricarde and the Earl of Auckland. The LORD CHANCELLOR entered the House and took his seat on the Woolsack shortly after Two o'clock. The Noble and Learned Lord, on taking his seat, stated that her Majesty had been pleased to command a Writ to issue under the Great Seal for the further prorogation of Parliament to Thursday, the 11th of November. The writ having been read by the clerk at the table, the proceedings ended, and the Parliament stood prorogued to Thursday, the 11th of November.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet but firm. Sales 3,000 to 4,000 bales. Railway Shares were further depressed, and there was a large quantity of stock offering. Accounts of July 27 have come to hand from Graham's Town, Cape of Good Hope. It appears that the Kafir chiefs, Sandilla, Krieli, and Mapassa, were disposed to form a confederation against the British, but in this there would be nothing to regret, as it would be far better that :we should have a fair chance with them in the open field. The Money Market seems a little easier to-day, and the arrival of specie from abroad serves to impart rather more buoyancy, together with the apprpaching payment of the dividends. The following is rather a curious suggestion in a provincial journal, for affording ease to the money market:— Sir,—The journal of this morning quotes thus:— ' The problem which the currency doctors have set themselves to solve is, how to thrive upon credit with out capital.' This is easily solved—by permitting them to use the capital they have now locked up, and to open the mint to them, as at Calcutta, under a tax of once and a third per cent., and where the people have coined for themselves upwards of twenty-nine millions sterling in twelve years.—Vide Parliamentary Reports, March 10, 1846. " Sir Robert Peel has not coined sufficient for the people, nor will let the people coin for themselves, in order that the bullionists may obtain extra usury from land, trade, and labour. Whenever this leave is given, I will soon be at the door of the mint with hundreds of people ready to avail themselves of this justice. "I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " EDMUND TAUNTON, An old Foreign Merchant of 1807. " Birmingham, Oct. *, 1847." The English Funds have been better supported after the serious reaction of yesterday, but there are a good many sellers still who have been waiting the re-opening of the transfer books. Consols have ranged from 824 to 83i for present Transfer, and about 1 per cent. more for Account. Exchequer Bills have been 10s. to 20s. discount, and East India Bonds 225. to 30s. discount. In the Stock Exchange, therefore, money is still scarce, arising from the arrangements for settling the account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 83i to 82i ex. dividend. Bank Stock has ruled at 1841 to 180 ex. dividend, and India Stock at 2241 to 220. Consols scrip has been at 6 discount. Another instal ment is due the 6th inst. Much solicitude is still felt regarding the French loan, and the probable amount that may be subscribed for here. We conceive that there will be a much smaller list than is usual made up in England, and that the Bank of England will exercise some vigilance to check exports of bullion. The Foreign Stock Market is very dull. Mexican Bonds have been down to 18i i. Spanish Three per Cents. are 27. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been quoted 53i. Railway Shares have been rather flat, and in many in stances cheaper. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES. Bank Stock ...182 184 1 ,4 180 182 1 , x d 180 x d 3 per Cent.

RIGHT or WAY OYER LORD HOLLAND'S PARK.— At the Middlesex Sessions yesterday, the subject of the long talked-of stoppage of the public footway across Lord Holland's Park, at Kew, was brought before the notice of the Court. It will be remembered that Lord Holland is desirous of diverting a road which now runs from the Great Western road, across his Lordship's Park to the Uxbridge road, by constructing a direct road from Earl's Court-lane, across the site of the Hip podrome, and so to the Uxbridge-road, by which means his Lordship's P ar k would assume a muc h mo re p r i va t e character. Th e contemplate d a lt era ti o n h as cause d much dissatisfaction among the inhabitants of Kensing ton, but, nevertheless, it has received the sanction of the Board vestry of th e p ar i sh in wh i c h t h e p ro p er ty i s s i tuate d . of Highway Commissioners, and of the But before th e a l terat i ons cou ld b e carried out, it was requisite that the sanction of the Court of Session should be obtained, and, to gain that object, Mr. Bod kin, the barrister, appeared in Court. However, in consequence of a slight legal informality in the pro ceedings of the Board of Highway Commissioners, the application could not be entertained, and it was with drawn until the defect was remedied. AFFAIRS OF MESSRS. REID, ROBERTSON, AND CO. —We understand that an adjourned meeting of the cre ditors of Messrs. Reid, Robertson, and Co., was held yesterday, at which an offer of nine shillings in the pound, payable by instalments, was made to the meet ing, and conditionally entertained; no definite conclu sion, however, was arrived at. —Glasgow Saturday Post. Captain of Corvette Bourdon-Gramont, Governor- General of Senegal, died at St. Louis about the end of August, of fever. M. Duehateau, chef de battaillon, has assumed ad interim the functions of governor. LONDON PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY.—The annual general meeting of this society was held last night in the Hall of Commerce. I). W.:Wire, Esq., presided, who briefly explained the origin, objects, and constitution of the society, whicn was founded in 1841 for the relief of the deserving poor, by providing them with bread and coals during the winter season. The Honourable Gen tleman warmly advocated the cause of the charity, which was formed to relieve a deserving class of poor persons. The secretary read the report, which showed an increase in the funds during the p as t y ea r. Last winter the society had distributed 4,700 tickets for 41b loaves of bread and for 561 b. of coals.

The quantity of British Plantation landed in the port cf London front the Ist of January to the Ist instant, was 75,946 hhds 10,561 tierces, against 57,493 hhds 7,190 tierces at the same time last year.

This Court sat this morning, under the new Act for the recovery of debts under 201. There were only twenty-two cases set down, neither of which were of the slightest interest. APPLICATION.—An application was made in a case Rees v. Lancaster, for this Court to enforce a judg ment obtained against the defendant in the Middlesex County Court. The Learned JUDGE doubted whether he had any authority to issue an execution thereon. After some discussion, The Learned JUDGE held that in such cases the defendants must be summoned to this Court, when an order would be made, and in default of payment, execution might issue. The Court will sit every Tuesday until further notice. CITY SMALL DEBTS COURT. (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner BuLtocx.) This court was o p ene d f or the first time this morning, in the Queen's Bench Court, Guildhall, at ten o'clock. Upon the COMMISSIONER taking his seat, Mr. BUCHANAN, solicitor, of Basinghall-street, called his attention to the 56th, 62d, and 75th sec. of the Act, and hoped, that after his Lordship had con sidered them, he would not allow any agents to prac tise in the court, except barristers and attorneys, a nd attorneys of landlords who were expressly mentioned in the Act. His object was, that persons who loitered about the court, and were not professional men, should not be allowed to practise. The COMMISSIONER said, it was his intention to adopt that course as a general rule, but cases might arise in which it would be necessary to depart frog) , that rule. The Court then proceeded to dispose of several cases, none of which, however, presented any feature of public importance. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The Assistant-Judge presided this morning f o r the trial of the prisoners upon the calendar at the October Quarter sessions. The number of prisoners was only 63 : 20 were unable either to read or write, 12 were able on ly to read, and the remainder were described as reading and writing imperfectly. The Learned JUDGE, in charging the grand jury', alluded in strong terms to th e di sgrace f u l want o f accommodation for all parties having business in this court ; and said by the statute 7th George IV.'power was given to the magistrates of any county, upon presentment by the grand jury that the court-house was unsuitable, to take such steps as would supply the want, by the erection of a new building or other. wise • and at the last county day it was unanimo us ly decided that this court should be presented, and the draft of that presentment was now before the grand jury for their consideration. No one could be more impressed with the necessity for an alteration in the present wretched system of accommodation than be was, but he should abstain from making any remarks upon it from the bench, because he would h av e to give evidence upon oath before the gentlemen of the grand jury upon the subject, when they came to con', seder the presentment. H e s h ou ld at t h e r i s i ng o f the court this evening adjourn till 11 o'clock to morrow, and at 10 the subject of the presentment for a new court-house would come before them, and evidence would be adduced. HOLLAND PARK FOOTWAY.—Mr. Bodkin applied, under the sth and 6th Will. 4, c. 50, that the Court would make an order for the stopping up a certain. footpath leading across Lord Holland's demesne, 0 Kensington. The subject was one which had bee° already frequently b e f ore t h e pu b l i c, and in lieu !;P', the path now sought to be closed up, his Lordship had opened another, affording equal, if not greater facilities to the public, and at the present moment all parties were perfectly satisfied with the arrangement which had been made. All the notices required hi the Act of Parliament had been given by public ad' vertisement, and if any party had any objection to urge to the proposed alterations they were at liberty to lodge an appeal in thi s C our t, b ut not the slightest mark °I, dissent had been ex p resse d. Th e L earned Couns el then went at great length into certain technical oh" jections raised with respect to the constitution of the Board which di sc h arge d th e d ut i es of surveyor o', highways. The Learned ASSISTANT JUDGE thought if the Court made the order it would be only a nullity, be; cause it had no power in such a case. The parish 01 Kensington, instead of having the duties of surveyor of highways performed by one individual, had ousted them in a board, and the individuals signing the re' quired certificate did not state that they acted as $ Board, or by the direction of the Board. He should therefore refuse making the order. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Mary Ann Oddy, a middle: aged woman, of respectable appearance, was placed before Mr. Hardwick charged with attempting to commit suicide, by jumping from off the bridge int° the Serpentine River, Hyde•park. John Chitty, one of the men employed by 06 Royal Humane Society, stated that on Friday after" noon last about four o'clock he heard an alarm give n that a woman had thrown herself from the bridge into the water. He immediately got the boat 00 and rowed to the spot, where he just arrived as one of the watermen who ply on the Serpentine had pulled her up. She was then to all appearance quit e dead. He took her to the receiving -house, wher e the usual remedies in su c h cases were app li e d , a n d after some length of time animation was restorea, and she was removed to St. George's workhouse, bu t was not able, owing to the shock she h a d rece i v ed, to be brought efore the magistrates till to-day. ge had f ound e u n p o v n e r y h er, froin ti ma t e l ym which con' netted with a Mr. Barwise, watchmaker, for the long period of twenty-seven years, and received a weeldi allowance from him, which was for some -cause or other stopped in May last. She hal repeatedly sr plied to Mr. Barwise, who refused to do anything for her. Her wearing apparel was detained at her lodg ing for arrears of rent, and she had become in such t! destitute conditio n th at she was determined to en d her troubles by committing suicide. The witness added that she had attempted to drown herself once before. They had then the greatest difficulty in re' storing her. In reply to Mr. HARDWICK, the prisoner said It was quite correct and true what the last witness had stated. She thought it very hard to be turned out en the world after being for twenty-seven years eon' fleeted with Mr. Barwise. Mr. HARDWICK, after talking to her upon th e wickedness of the act she had attempted to commit , ordered her to be detained till the relieving officer et St. George's parish arrived, who no doubt woul d take her into the house and make inquiries into he r statement.
