ADJOUIL3MMCT OP THZ COURT.

Mr. Registrar Winslow, on taking his seat on the bend,
said—Gentlemen of the bar, I bare heard with great re.
gret, as I have no doubt you have, of the death of Mr.
Cornmiesioser Fane, whose seat I now occupy. I have
only heard of it sines my arrival in court. All of us nmt
deeply regret the death of one who has so lately pre.
sided in the administration of justice here. If there were
no other reason for adjourning the court, I think it would
only be a proper mark of respect to his memory that the
public business should not be proceeded with to-day. I
shall thirsted, adjourn all the public sittings for examine,.
tion and discharge till the same hour to-morrow ; but that
it may not produce any inconvenience, I shall sit in the
private room to dispose of the business that would come
before the Commissioner of the day.
Mr. Bagley, on behalf of the members of the bar, ex-
pressed their concurrence in the propriety of the noun
which had bean taken by the learned registrar.

THE DEMONSTRATION IN ROME.

A letter from Rome in the Rain says :

A great demonstration took place yesterday evening
(Sept. 29) on the Corso and the Pima Colones. The city
of Rome wee anxions to 'manifest her joy, like the other
cities of Italy, at the Frenecvltelien treaty. The good seam
of the Romans, who have correctly estim►ted the spirit of
this convention, is the noblest reply and the jetted
reproach to than who have either honestly cc mile-
volently distorted it. More than 8,00 persons
assembled on the Piaui Carona at 8 o'clock in the evening,
when the French troops were shoot to retire. When they
began to march, with their drum beating end bugles
blowing, the people burst out into cries of "Long live
France!" " Long live Italy ! " Long live Napoleon
III.!" " Long live Victor Emmanuel !" " Long live the
Treaty of Sept. 15!" The French troops, on hearing the
crowd cheering Fume and the Emperor, began to
cheer also. The demonstration became more int.

poring when it reached the Corso, where a vest
number of persona were promenading, all of whom
cheered most lustily. At other points of the city, and
erpeciany in the Tranatevere quarter, the French troop;
were received in the same manner, and a round of cheers
was given before the house of the general ;n rommend of the
army of occupation. The Roman polioe were completely
enrpneed by the euddename of the demonetzation, and were
not able to effect any arrests. It appears, however, that
two persons were arrested by the French police. It is said
that G3neral de Lamoricdere has not only refused to take
the command of the papal army, but has mislead M. de
Wrode to be prudent and moderate.

RAILWAYS AND BUILDING LA-ND IN THE ISLE OF
Wicar.—The opening of the Eaatern Section Railway, from
Ryde to Shanklie, which hue will be sow continued on to
Veatnor tad Newport, thus connecting Cowes with Itydia,
has given a great impetus to building at all stations. San-
down, a favourite and fast incrimaing resort ou the Isle of
Wight coast, owing to its unequalled bathing sands, ham
greatly increased in house* and population of late years, and
now that it has the advantage of a railroad bringing it in
close proximity with Ryde and Newport, the demand for
land has recently touch tacreered. The Conservative Land
Society bas just acquired the Sunnyside estate, within half
• mils of the Saodown station. The property is in one of
the moat picturesque positions, commanding a used pano-
ramic view of a great part cl the interior of the Isle of
Wight, with au uninterrupted frontage to the sea, The
Sunnyside estate has two approaches—one at the upper part
of Sandown, a short distance from the church, the other on
the Shanklin road, adjoining the parsonage grounds, besides
a footpath on the cliff. This is the first land acquired in
the Isle of Wight by the society, making its 51st estate in 21
comities.

THE ROMAN QUESTION.—NEW TRAIXY

BETWEEN FRANCE AND ITALY.

The Continental journals of to-day, one and
all, make reference to a new treaty which it is
reported has been signed by France and Italy
for the evacuation of Rome by the French troops
within a definite period. They throw no doubt on
the existence of such a treaty. The Turin corres-
pondent of the Siecle gives the terms of the treaty
as follows :

" The Marquis Pepoli arrived at Turin on
the 17th, and he brings great and important news.
A treaty was concluded on the 15th inst. between
France and Italy. It was signed on the part of
France by M. Drouyn de Lhnys, on the part of
Italy by the Marquis Pepoli, minister plenipo-
tentiary, and M. Constantine Nigra, minister resi-
dent at Paris.

" The principal articles of the treaty are the eva-
cuation of Rome by the French troops within two
years, so as to give the Pontifical government time
to organise an army for its internal protection.
The Italian government engages to watch the
frontier which divides the kingdom of Italy from
the Roman Stake, so that no army either of
regular troops or of volunteers can enter the terri-
tory of the Holy See to disturb its tranquillity.
The treaty is also said to contain a pro-
vision by which the Italian government takes upon
itself five-sixths of the Roman debt. There are
several articles respecting the relations which
should exist between the Italian and Pontifical
troops in their mutual supervision of the frontiers.
It is said that there are other articles in the treaty
for the regulation of what concerns the necessities
of catholic worship, vacant bishoprics, &o. The
Pontifical government, without taking any posi-
tive part in the treaty, tacitly sanctions this
convention, in so much as regards the transfer-
ence of the greater portion of the Pontifical
debt to the Italian treasury. This news has caused
the greatest sensation in Turin, and it is speculated
upon in a hundred ways. People ask whether, by
reason of this treaty, Italy is nearer to Rome, or
whether it is not further from it than ever, in con-
sequence of the engagements which Italy has
assumed. Panic is also spread from the fact that
others say that the capital of Italy is to be trans-
ferred to Florence, the real cradle of the Italian
race.

" The Italian minister is to inform parliament
of that portion of the treaty which refers to the
occupation of Rome, and for this purpose parlia-
ment is convoked for the 11th of October next. If
I am rightly informed the session will be very
short. The Ring will dissolve the present Chamber
of Deputies and convoke the electoral colleges. The
new chamber will assemble early in January, and
will be immediately prorogued to April, 1865."

The legislative session was opened to-day by the
King.
His Majesty in his speech from the throne said :
—"The country and the colonies are in a pros-
perous state. A number of public works are con-
templated.
" Bills for the abolition of local excise duties will
be laid before you, together with other important
financial propositions. The redemption of the debt
will be continued.

" A project fur the re-organisation of the customs
tariff in the Dutch colonies of East India will also
be laid before the Chamber."

THE DANISH QUESTION.

VIENNA. Swr.l9, Evzirmo.

The Prase of to-day asserts that the Danish
cabinet is willing to consent to the proposal that
the claims of the Duchies on the public property of
the kingdom should be satisfied with the payment
by Denmark of a round sum, this arrangement
to be preceded by one definitively settling the re-
spective allotment of the assets and liabilities of the
country.

The same paper says :—" Financial difficulties
only delay the conclusion of peace. The negotia-
tions on the prolongation of the armistice, which
has expired, are near their end. The demand of
Denmark, that the troops of the allied armies in
Jutland are not to be provisioned by Denmark, has
been absolutely rejected by the German Powers."

Pinnock, was described as late of Prime of Waleirroad,
Haverstook-hill, and ooessionally of lalM•atisst, Kentish-
town, in so business or proketiou. From the examination

a second-class certificate. He owed altogether less than 2001.
No assignee was chosen.

pears he was insolvent in 1855, and made an arrangemeat

magistrate, but notwithstanding this, the messenger of the
court had taken possession.
Mr. Loma said that the property was valued at 4301., and

are concentrated in the environs of Potsdam, where they
will bivouac for several days. The Austrian and Ranias
generals, the Princes of Leichtenatein and Tour and Taxis,
with General Totleben, accompanied by their suites, have
already left Berlin for Potedam, which town will serve as
head-quarters at the commencement of the operations.
The King will assume on the 20th the command-in-
chief of all the forces, and will direct in person the move-
ments of the two corps-d'arme'e, one of whieb, the Guard,
will be commanded by Prince Augustus of Wurtemburg,
and the other by General de Bonin. The principal =-
oeuvres will be performed on the great plains situated
between Potedam and Brandeburg, and will end by the siege
and taking of the latter town. The cavalry and artillery
appear to be intended to play the principal part in these
strategical combinations, which have been fixed on by the
' King himself.

with much skill immense piles of stones of a large

down iota the ravine, crushing everything before them.

the court was densely crowded by a highly respectable

Evidence at great length was goo* into, showing the
treatment the child bad received, and the deplorable condi.

CLAM! BOUILLON ET CONPAONIE t•. BUBU AND OTHERS

Thu ws a demurrer, fit west of eqnit7eLiof prtiee,
I to_ pert of a bill tiled by the plaintiff as the :genet respoo-
sable of the Societe Generale Franco Serbs ; the " Raison
et Signature Somas of the Societe " being Claude Bouillon
et Compagent." llut bill stated to the effect that in 1859 the
&arise govennuset grained some concessions to certain
French merchants for the savigstiou of the riven Danube
and Save, together with a noel field, situated at Dolan, in
Scene., sod an extensive domain at Maidampeck, in that
country,contaioing very large and valuable forests, and iron,
copper, and other mines and minerals; that in 1859 a French
company was established in Paris by the name of the
Sonak Generale Franco Saba, and ae a Sotike ea Cum'
maudlin, for exercising the rights conferred by the emcee-
noes, for working the mines, and for managing the properties
generally ; that in 1862 the defendauts,. representing the
Steam Navigation and Colliery Company, ' Unrest ter to be
formed," mitered bb an agreement with the plaintiffs for
the purchase from them at the above stated ooneeesions, for
the sum of 75,000 f. ; that the defendants then endeavoured
to form a emptily to carry out the objects of the con.
cestions so agreed to be purchased by them, and for the
payment of the purchase money, but by
to astabliab the
company or to pay the money. The bill in this suit was
thee filed for the specific performance of the agreement,
and two of the defendants demurred to it on the groan&
above stated.

Mr. Greene, Q.C., and Mr. Fooks appeared for the de-
fendants, and argued that the contract was one which the
court would not, and io fact could not, specifically en-
force ; for it wee too vague and uncertain in lila terms.
Mr. Malin', Q.C.. M.P., and Mr. W. W. Cooper ap-
peared for the plaintiffs, but were not celled upon.
The Vice-Chaeeellor overruled the demurrer, but al-
lowed the two defendants ix weeks within which to pat in

JAPAN.

We (Gaiignatti) have received, rid Holland, a
letter from Japan three days later than the news
already published. It has been already stated that
the Prince of Nagato, having refused to pay the
war indemnity stipulated in the treaty of peace
signed by him, a judgment of the criminal tribunal
of Yeddo had decided that his two palaces should
be razed to the ground and his servants put
to death. We now learn that this sin-
gular and sanguinary sentence was approved of by
the Mikado and by the Taicoum—the spiritual
and temporal sovereigns of Japan—and that the
number of servants killed in execution of it was
420 men and 215 women and children. The
prince, on learning those facts, was deeply con-
cerned, and sent to the capital his first minister on
board the English corvette Barons, which was
placed at his disposal by Vice-Admiral Kuper.
The minister, on arriving at Yeddo, waited on
the representatives of France, England, Holland,
America, and Russia, and besought them to
intercede with the Taicodm in favour of the prince,
his master, who had decided on executing all the
provisions of the treaty, and immediately paying
the sums due. Such was the situation of affairs at
the last date.

may be remembered that 123 were accused of high
treason against the King of Prussia for the part
taken by them in the insurrection of last year ; and
that about a third were liberated immediately
after the hearing of witnesses. The King's procnreur
abandons the prosecution against half of the re-
maining 80 ; he calls for a condemnation to death
on about 20, and a sentence of different periods of
imprisonment against the rest. The State Court—

of the Supreme Court exclusively for the trial of
political offences—is to deliver judgment on the

Mayne, 148 V, said that at a quartet
pest one dank, am., on the 29th nitima, L,
saw the defendant, Breen, with three gentlemen
the feet of Went-hill, Wandsworth, disputing about ,
cab fare. Ow of the gentlemen paid him his demand,
then requested him to give him a ticket of him c„6
number. The defendant said that be had not one,
which the gentleman asked witness to take the number of
the cab, and they walked away. Wittman having obtaiLA
the number of his cab, asked him for the number of
badge. The defendant ova a number ending with 16, In
not understanding easily when number he gave, he asked to
look at his badge. The defendant then maid he was not
licensed driver, that he was horeekesper to the propriewct
the cab, that he did not require a lianas aa he could drive for
24 hours without one. The defeodnnt also said the geurk,„
hired the cab at the yard, but witness had ascertained tr,4
it was on a stand.

The defendant rid the sot of parliament allowed a krt
keeper to drive for 12 or 24 boars in cam of illness.
The defendant, 'Vireo, said he wee the driver of tka
cab, as well as proprietor. He sent his horeekeepa G.:

fired at through the window of his sitting-room, yesterday,
and dangerously wounded. He died early this morning.

with al bullets. Three men have been arrested
(tenants on the lends, and under eviction)—John and Thos.
Nugent and James Flea. In the house of the latter • gun
was found, recently discharged, with fresh mud on the butt
of it. Hay bad been placed under the window, to prevent
the marks of shoes. On Flyn's shoes bay was found. These,
with other circumstances, attach strong suspicion to this
man. Thomas Reyolds bad nothiog to say to the land in
question, but had conveyed sonic messages to the tenant.
under notice of ejectment. They were considered respectable,
solvent men, and owed no rest. A Mr. Oyu, of Atbboy,
