The Earl and Countess of Clancarty have been

DEATH OF Ma. A. SOLOMON.—The death is an-
nounced of this most popular English painter, known to
thousands by his original works and their engraved copies.
The death occurred • few days since from disease of the
heart, at Biarritz. He WAS not more than forty years of
age, and had but recently married. We may mention as
moue the most celebratel of his Dictums the "Waiting
lee the Verdict ;” the companion groups, "Second Class"
and "First Class," in which the story of 'a sailor lad's
departure from home and return in the guise of • mid-
abipmao is set forth by two scenes in the interior of rail-
way carriages; the "Lion in Love," which represents a
plethoric old general threading the needle of • laughing
young lady ; and the " Lost Found."

mined to cede the lonise Isles with all due formality, so u
to render the (xenon absolutely irrevocable. To Misty
national right, although the consent of those interested
might naturally be taken for granted, it is about to convoke
the parliament of the Seven Lim& in order that it may
sanction the measure. To satisfy diplomatic right, although
it has already the consent of the powers who signed the
treaty of the 15th April, 1815, it will call a congress of
those powers, among which is the King of Naples, now re-
presented by the King of Italy. Our readers will not fail
to see that the participation of King Victor Emmanuel in a
measure of this nature will be equivalent to a confirmation
of the recognition of the kingdom of Italy by the principal
powers."
The French Academy of the Beaux-Arta, at its
last sitting, elected as corresponding members M. Duple,
statuary, at Florian; M. Fonteos, painter to the King at
Lisbon ; K. Vanes, archeologist st Berlin; and Mr. John
Pye, copperplate engraver in London.
The Paris Prose of to-day contains an article by
Emile de Girardin, highly landing Mr. Bright for his ad-
vocacy of the restitution of Gibraltar to Spain.
We read in Gaiignani :—" It is with much plea-
sure that we are able to announce that Mr. Charles Dickens
kindly intends during the course of next month to give one
of his readings gratuitously for the benefit of the British
Charitahle Fund, the finances of which are now in a posi-
tion very inadequate to meet the demands daily made on
them. Earl Cowley, with his constant desire to assist so
useful an institution, hu granted the use of the Eggnog
for the purpose."
In the prisons of Vienna there are at this moment
seven editor—Mam. Grass, Friedman°, Keipp, Delping,
and Tkalae, nadergoing imprisonment of various terms for
press offences, sad Messrs. Nsaahelsky and lesskoree await-
Mg their trials. It is to be hoped these gentlemen are not
subjected to the barbarous treatment to which Max Falk,
the editor of the Wanderer, describes himself as having
suffered. The account he presents of his prime experience
reads like a page out of Neapolitan history ender Bombs.
Three Poles were arrested at Paris on Sunday
night, on the demand of the Russian Ambassador. They
are said to be connected with the secret committee in
Poland. One of them has since been set at liberty. Their
papers and pocket-books were searched. Some documents
were found which, if commuuicated to the Russian govern-
ment, would, it is said, seriously affect persons at Warsaw
in a high social position. Iu the porte-moneale of one was
found an order foe the payment of 4O,Wofr• to the bearer.

The farther hearing of this use was resumed this
morning.
The Lord Chief Justioe, in the mime of 'lamming up, rid
—I must may that the inquiry Ku been to me of a very painful
character, became I cannot help feeling and being impaired
with the belief that sad mistakes have been made on both
sides. Without wishing to speak with any undue harshness
of the plaintiff, I should not be disclaiming my duty if I
were not to state that I think his conduct on
the occasion in question was • sad and deplorable
departure from propriety, and if he had done in a court of
justice what he did in the parliament chamber of the
Middle Temple, he would have brought upon himself the

' armed with the pares of a court of justice, for keeping
whitens within the bound. of those observances which
are absolutely essential for the investigation and the eluci-
dation of truth and the fair administration of justice. It
has been said that the benchers, when investigating •
charge of delinquency against a member of their
inn, are only a friendly tribunal, but I cannot
accept it, although they are not armed with the
powers of the ordinary couna of law, or with powers
co-extensive with their jurisdiction. I take that to
be a friendly tribunal which sits by the consent of both
parties for the adjustment of mutual differences. That
is not the case of this tribunal, for the benchers
are armed with authority, on the charges brought before
them being proved, of depriving a member of his professional
position and existence—in short, with the exception of the
heavy penalties which attach to more heinous offences of
which the law takes cognisance, I can omissive no jurisclio-
tion more serious or severe than that which can deprive •
man after, perhaps, be his devoted the best years
of his life to a greet and arduous profession, of
his rank and position relative to it, and throw him back
helpless on the world to commence a new career, and, in
addition, bands • man and stamps him with dishonour for
the remainder of his days. The gravity and importance of
each • jurisdiction can only be equalled by its salutary
effect in preventing the profession from suffering M-
um* in the estimation of society.
The jury were locked up at five minutes to one
o'clock, and ►t ten minutes to four o'clock they made a
communication to his lordship to the effect that they
wished his opinion on the question, whether, supposing
the book not to have been the property of the plaintiff,
were the defendants justified in using force to take it from
him.
The learned judge said that wu a question of law and not
of fact, with which they bad nothing to do.
The jury said there wu Do chance of their agreeing to
• verdict, and after some discussion between his lord-
ship, the jury, and the learned counsel on both sides,
t►e batter consented to their being discharged without
agreeing to a verdict.
The jury were accordingly discharged.

001JRT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. CNIIMINnooer Holrojd.)
APPLICATION ONO= THZ 7 MID vicr.
This was an application for release from custody by a
debtor, who had petitioned the court in March lest, under
the 7 and 8 Viet., commonly known as "The Genan'e
Act." The petitioner bad obtained protection, which
expired on the 15th November last, and he had been than
iurested.
Mr. Bagley and Mr. Maley opposed the application, on
the ground that his Honour had no jurisdiction, as the case
was one which belonged to Mr. Commiserator Ponbbinque.
Hie Honour observed that the ate of 7 and 8 Viet. wee
worded in a different manner from the Bankruptcy Act, and
required that the jurisdiction should rest with the commis-
sioner to whom the petition was allotted. He could not,
therefore, entertain the application.
RI RI LICRZVOL

This was the sitting for examination and discharge. His
debts are about 8001. ; no meets.
Mr. Aldridge opposd. Three months ago the bankrupt
bad been ordered -to file a goods sod deficiency account.
There bad since been two adjournments, but the accounts
were not yet filed. The bankrupt had left the country, and
sent a medical certificate from Boulogne excusing his absence
on the ground of indisposition.
His Honour directed an adjournment sine die without pro-
tortion.
(Before Mr. Registrar Herat.)
IN RZ CAVCIDISH.
The bankrupt applied for his release from custody. He
bad been in prison eleven months, for a debt of about 30/.
Mr. Lewis supported the application. His client had been
arrested on returning from abroad, after an absence of
eighteen months, and had been kept in prison ever since for
this miserable debt of 301.
The names was opposed by a solicitor, on the ground that
the debt bad been contracted in the most extasTagukt man-
ner. The bankrupt had kept a carriage and pair.
The bankrupt having pledged his honour that he would
not owed if released, the discharge was ordered.

iR 11 LABOTT.—ACCOMMODATION RILLS.
The bankrupt, a merchant's clerk, of St. Itarrat-Hill.
applied for his order of discharge. The debts are only 2101.,
but there are liabilities on accommodation bills of 2,7971.
Mr. Goodday appeared for the official assignee.
The Breaker said that in nearly every cue which cane
before him he found that there was a oor.sidemble item ea
the debtor side of the account in respect of aocammodatioa
bills. Such bills were in reality a system of fraud, and a
maw of assisting a co•conspirator to raise money flom third
patios. They ought to be thoroughly investigated in every
pas.
The bankrupt was examined, and stated that the liabilities
above mentioned wore due to the Liverpool Borough
now in course of winding up. lama he had been induced
to join in a promissory note to the bank for an advance to
soother party ; and on the failure of the bank he had been
made responsible for the amount.
The Registrar said the features of this case were not so
criminal as tholes of many eases. In a general way accom-
modation bills were evidence of • conspiracy to &frond.
The bankrupt might take his discharge.

Mr. H. .lamea, for the plaintiff, said this wu one of the
I most abomioable cure that had ever come before a jury,
' and he was quite sure the jury would award substantial
damages.
Plaintiff said—l am a stockbroker, and I have specu-

far, but he would, sod the result was a debt due to Mesta.
Mortimer and Railer. Deloodant gave his note, but in
ousequence of the date I could not get it discounted, sod
he agreed that it should be altered to four or mix months.
After the alteration we all met at the United Service Club,
