vernment loam* while General Cavaignao is as
little sputa in the columns of La Prem. The con-
test loses much of its interest from the unequal chances
of the competitors. It is a race in which the favourite
has odds in l is favour = great that it iv only on the
Fallibility of accidents that bets against him are taken
at all. So certain is the election of Prince Louis as-
sumed to be that lists of his first ministry are already
circulated Places are variously assigned in his cabi-
net to MM. Odikon Barrot, 'Marshal Bugeaud, M.
Vivien, M. Berryer, Admiral Cecile, &c.
M. de Larochejaquelin has addressed • letter to
the legitimist electors, exhorting them not to abstain
from voting, and not to throw away their suffrages=
the Count de Chambord. Although Prince Louie is
not mentioned by name in tit*s letter, its intention
at d effect are to constitute him the legitimist mi-
ditlate.
Great fears are entertained of a commotion in Paris
in use Prince Louis is returned. M. Flocon has
already recommenced the system of club agitation, of
which he is so old and expert an adept. He is in
hourly communication with the clubs of Paris, through
a body of delega.... Cauisidiere is also said to be
here, and to be actively at work.
Much embarrassment is already felt owing to the
numerous conga which have been granted to mem-
bers of the Amiably, and the consequent difficulty of
making a house. At present the number necessary
to form a quorum is WI. A project is before the
bureaux to-day for reducing it to 461. The idea of a
prorogation is spin revived.

Anztrwt.—Last night a new farce styled " Slasher

as unequivocally successful a, even the author could desire.
It is one of those grotesque com•diettas peculiar to the esta-
blishment, and affords ample opportunties to Messrs. Wright
and Paul Bedford for a display of their mirth-producing
capabilities. The author has thrown together, with more
skill than is usually exercised on such slight productions, s
number of laughable situations, and has also illustrated them
with even more than the usual allowance of droll and quaint
sayings.

COMMERCIAL 4r MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Zen o'Clock.—The explanation last evening of 1
the Chancellor of the Exchequer as to the mode
in which he proposes to realise his credit for
two millions, appears, on the whole, to be regarded
as the more judicious course to be pursued. As it is
to be effected by the creation of stock, it is as well, to
avoid any derangement of the market, that the
sales should be spread over a certain period,
and in amounts suited to the more immediate wants
of the public service. 'this, it will be remembered,
was the mode of dealing with this financial
operation suggested under this head some
days since, as preferable on various grounds to
contracting for the whole two millions at once by
loan, or by throwing so much in Exchequer Bills on
a market seldom very strong for that sort of security, or
able to absorb readily, or without a considerable sa-
crifice upon current rates, any large amount at once.
The funds improved this morning on the strength
of the Chancellor's communication, but with a quiet
market. Consols have ruled nearly all morning, and
still are, 86 to; for money, and 861 to for account.

DUBLIN, SUNDAY EVENING.
It is confidently asserted here that the law of
of the crown in England have oome to the opinion
that there are no grounds for the writs of error
brought by the prisoners convicted at Clonmel, and
that the judgments cannot be disturbed.
A letter from Clonmel announces that the state pri-
soners are to leave the gaol of that town for Dublin
at half-past six o'clock to-morrow morning. A mail
coach, with four horses, had been provided for the
conveyance of Messrs. O'Brien, Meagher, *Mantis,
and O'Donohoe; aad five four-horse cars were
engaged for the conveyance of an escort of
a -hundred of the police torce, to be followed by a
troop of dragoons. A special train will leave Thorley',
with the prisoners, at twelve o'clock precisely,
and precautionary measures have been taken
to prevent any malicious derangement of the
railway. Accounts from Clonmel also state that
a few more persons had been arrested, charged

trial at the adjourned commission, on the sth of Dec.
This is, however, unlikely, as the commission of oyer

Duffy's ease is postponed.

Mn. SHARMAN CRAWFORD M.P., met his consti-

render an wring of his stewardship for the put year in
parliament, and, in compliance with his annual custom, to
give them an opportunity of calling upon rim to resign if
diasatiafled with his voti s. A great portion et the hon. gen-
tleman's speech was taken up with reconciling his coons on
Irish questions to his English cons. itoenta He referred
particularly to tne repeated applications made by the present
government to parliament for coercive measures against the
people of Ireland, whilst they had constantly postponed all
their promised remedial measures for th t grievances of that
unhappy people. He juttified his oppoeition to the government
en some of these coercive measures, by alleging that it wu not
from a wish to encourage agrarian mange and crime, bat be-
cause when such measures were adopted towards the one coun-
try there was al ways a fi ar that they might be made applicable
to the other, as in the last bill altering the law of treason,
wnich, though ostensibly obtained to remedy • defect in the
Irish law, was made applic.ible to the whole United King-
dom. Again, the postponement of all rem dial measut
whilst stringent coercive IYIPI were so promrly grunted, had
resulted in three-fourths of the people being disaffected to-
wards British power, and English tax-payers were burthened
with the payment of an immense sum for the military occu-
pation of Ireland. The principal remedial measure for Ire-
lard was und int:Redly the land question, the state of things
in reference to which was undeniabdly an impediment to the

the prosecutor, who is a amicable of the divi-ion, was
directed to accompany with instructions to apprehend
the delinquents, and he accordingly took the prisoner to Ms

having taken off hit uniform and put on plain clothes, they

TERNITY.—Mr. Whateley stated the ease. The plaintiff and
defendant are brothers, and the dispute was respecting land
only 4d feet by 25 feet in area. Great efforts had been made
to reconcile the parties, but without effect. The piece of
land was part of the Great Hay-hill estate, near Monmouth,
and wax left to the plaintiff by his father, John Jenkins, who
acquired a right to it by po•session ; to this the defendant
wont: reply that the piece of land was originally in the pt..-
session of his mother. It was pa:t of the Little May-bill
estate, and it bad become his property in her right. The
will, alleged to be the aced conveying the piece of land to
the plaintiff from hie father, was put in; and several wit-
nesses' were call, d to prove that the piece of land in dispute
was waste before it was inclosed by John Jenkins, and was
situated by an old road-side, and was quite open.—Mr. ffer-
Jeant Talfourd, in his address to the jury in behalf of de-
fendant, contended that the piece of land was part of the
Little May hill estate, and was on the opposite 'We of the
road to the Great May.hill estate, iind was inherited by
Mrs. Jenkins fr,m her uncle. —For the defsnce William

scene of a lamentable conflagration, occasioned, it is believed,
by the wilful act of an incendiary. It will be recollected
that on Sunday, the 30th of Jan. last, a haulm wall upon
that lame premises was wilfully fired, but, fortunately, the
property then destroyed was inconsiderable. (heat tier.
time were made by the police to discover the guilty party,

prehended on the charge; but, on trial at the Muth maim,
was acquitted. Unhappily, the valuing work was on the
ptheent occasion more intecheful, and two large double barns,
several cart sheds and stables, wheat-hevels, a large hay-
rick, a number of agricultural implements, about 5 qrs. of
wheat, a thousand fans of chaff, a valuable cart mug and
foal, several pigs and some poultry, were included in the
ruins; the dwelling house and a small granary alone escap-
ing the ravages of the flames. The premises covered nearly
two acre, of ground, and the damage, it is estimated, cannot
fall much short tf between 2,0001. and 3,00 W.

ALLFOED SINIPINSION OF A CLERCITYA2f.—The
Wilts Standard of yesterday says : " Considerable eensation
has been created from the circumstance of the Rev. C. J.
Proby, rector of St. Peter, Colebrook, having undergone the
rite of baptism by immersion at the hands of Mr. Branch,
deptist minister, in consequence of which be has been sus-
pended from preaching in any church within the diocese.
The site selected for the ceremony was in one of the branches
of the [when, about a mile from Winchester. After the rite
had been administered, Mr. Proby addressed the assembledha
company, and declared that he d not submitted to that
kind of baptism on a sudden thought, but that it had
weighed on his mind for many years, and that he should not
have died happy had It not been so administered. in the
evening he again preached in his parish church, but against
the consent of Its churchwardens, and the rev. gentl. man
has, we are informed, been since suspended from all clerical
fitnctions."—[The Clergy List does not contain the name of
any " Rev. C. J. Proby, of colebrook ;" but we find in its
pages the " Rev. J. C. Proby, rector of St. Peter-Cheese-
hill, Winchester.")

POLICE. v - .118TERDAY.

SOUTHWARK.—LARCENY.—Mary Madden, a wet
nurse in the service of Mrs. Blunt, South hudley.street,
was charged with stealing a gold watch, several silver speons,
a gold ring, a s!!awl, and several articles of children's
clothing.—The complainant *toted that she engaged the
prisoner in the above capacity six months ago, and that
during the period she was in her service it was discovered
that she was In the habit of letting a man into the house by
stealth of a night, oo which occuions he used to enter by the
front area. Upon this discovery the prisoner was name •
diately discharged from her situation, and soon after she was
gone a gold watch, silver spoons, a gold ring, and, amongst
other articles, a shawl and some children's cambric caps, were
miming. Suspicion was at once excited against the prisoner,
and although inquiries were made to discover the place of
hi r abode, that was not found out until a day or two ago,
when she was at length taken into custody at a lodging-
house in Bermondsey. When her box was examined the
missing shawl was found together with several of the cam-
bric cape, but the gold watch, spoons, and other articles,
still remain undiscovered. The prisoner was then taken
into custody. The case was proved, and Mr. Seeker com-
mitted the prisoner for trial at the Surrey &seizes.

LAMBETH.—Taz CA.R or Hums MOUNSEIC—A per.

to contradict a part Of the statements, which appeared
in this paper on Friday last, respecting the young
woman named Mounrer, who was charged with unlawfully
pledging seventeen shirts, the property of Meur,. Moses
and Son.—Mr. Gunn, the magistrate's dux, observed that
the person who attended the examination of Mounser, and
who represented himself u clerk to the owners of the shirts,
undoubtedly led the magistrate and all present to believe that
Messrs. Moms and Son were his employers. His own words
were that he was clerk to Messrs. Henry Edward and Morrie

firm just mentioned resided on Tower-bill, or near America-
square, and had no connexion whatever with the house of

was found that two of the sacks were not in a fit state for
use; consequently, he only had 18 sacks filled, for which he
gave the u..ual receipt; but, by some mhcliance, he left one
of them behind. When he arrived at Blackfriars-bridge,
the City toll-collector demanded 2d. for the toll, and having
no money about him, he lett one of the empty Backs
in lieu of payment. On his reaching home, hie
master demanded the cause of the deficiency in
the number of sacks, upon which the plaintiff said he had
left an empty one with the toil collector, but war unable to
give a satisfactory account of the one which had been filled,
and sirt4h he had left at Messrs. R.slin and Watson's wharf.
Application wes then made to the man who had served 'lie
plaintiff with the oats, but he positively asserted that he had
given him the eighteen racks, upon which the defendant
gave the plaintiff into custody. He was taken before the
sitting magistrate, Mr. Arnold. at Worship-street police
court, who, on hearing the evidence, remanded him till the
19th. He was then taken to Tothill fields prison, and was
again brought up or, the 19th. Mc. Mammal was the re-
ading magutsce on that day, but he refused to hear the
ease, as it had been first inquired into by Mr. Arnold, and
tho plaintiff was again remanded till the 21st. In the mean-
time, however, the missing sack had Leen discovered on the
premises of Messrs. Itoalin and Watsuu, and they imme-
diately sent off to the defendant to inform him of that fact,
suggesting that an application should be at once made (or
the plaintiff's release. The defendant would not consent to
this, but said the best way would be far nobody to appear
against the plaintiff when he was brought up on the 21st;
he would consequently be discharged, and the whole matter
would blow over. Instead of following the defendant's ad-
vice, a clerk of Messrs. Roalin and Watson waited upon the
magistrate on the 21st, explained the whole circumstances
of the cuae, and the plaintiff was immediately discharged.—
Oa behait of the defendant, Mr. Whitehurst contended
that it was impossible to blame his client for giving a man
Into custody who he had at that time every reason to
believe had robbed him. The plaintiff on returning
home had never mentioned anything about the toll-
collector or the empty sack he had left with him;
and the man at Messrs. Roslin and Watson's declared he
had given the plaintiff 18 full sacks. This, too, was all
action that might have been brought is the county court,
but it had been dragged into a superior alert in the hope of
getting larce damages for what he submitted, under the cir-
cumstances, was no real injury.—Lord Denman very briefly
summed up, obs eying that it would have been better if this
action had been brought in a county court. The plaintiff
bad no doubt been falsely imprisoned, and it was for the jury
to say what compensation they thought he was entitled to.
—The jury immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff ;
damages 101.

COLONIAL.

NEW SOUTH WALES.—We have received
journals from this colony to the 11th of September, 1847.
Curiously inough, a complaint of inadequate definers is
being made in the legislative council of New South Wales
just as in the parliament of Great Britain. Our antipodean
countrymen appear, bowers r, to have less of absurdity in
their panic. The motion, indeed, of which notice has been
given in the legislative council at Sydney, would, if carried
and ge..erdlv adopted in the other colonies, enable this
country to dispense with part of its warlike expenditure. Mr.
Grant gave notice for the 10,1 of September, that he would
move—" That *respectful address be presented to his excel-
lency the Governor setting forth the detes.celta state of the
colony in gen,,ral, using to the r,,cent removal of a great
portion of the military force to New Zealand.nnd rdici trig kis
excellency to promote the organisation of militia or vilu,.teer
corps in Sydney and the various towns of the colony.'
Whether it is from Tahiti, or the Sandwich group, or from
Navigator's Islands, or the New Hebrides, that an invasion is
apprehended at Sydney, does not appear. But we are glad to
see that the panic-stricken of New South Wales, unlike the
panic-strick. n of Landon and Brighton, who clamour for
fortifications and soldiers to fight for them, are willing, as
they are able, to fight for themselves ; and instead of adding
to the load of army Unction in the eld country, would relieve
it entirely of the expense of protecting them. The A-sessment
on Stock Bill was read a third time, and passed, without a
division, on Wednesday, the 25th of August. Dr. Bland,
however, Lid also Messrs. Lone, Berry, Robinson, and
Cowper, while admitting that oppovition was vain, declared,
in the strong. at terms, their convicti es of the injestice of the
measure. Messrs. Wentworth and Foster were the only
non-official members who spoke in support of the bill. These
files contain one highly gratifying piece of intelligenee—the
monopoly in the working of coal in New South Wales has
been abolished. On Tuesday, the 17th of August, a message
from the governor was sent to the Legislative Council to the
effect that, perceiving they had ap;sointed a committee to in-
vestigate the privileges granted to the Australian Agricultural
Company oa their undertaking to work coal at Newcastle,
his excellency desired to inform them that an arrangement
had been made by eke directors of the company with the
Secretary of State for the Colonies by which all privileges,
both on the part of the company and the government, were
to be given up, without entailing any charge on the colonial
funds. The announcement was received with cbeen.

- _
STAFFORDSHIRE.
FIRE AT SANDON HALL.—Yesterday a flee oc-
curred at Bandon-hall, the seat of the Earl of Harrowby,
near Stafford, by which the centre portion of this elegant
mansion has been entirely destroyed. The hall is a stone
structure, with a centre and two wings; and it was in the
roof of the former portion of the building that the, fire was
first discovered. It appears that some plumbers were at
work repairing the roof, and from some accident connected
with the repairs it is supposed the fire originated. By the
time the culled engines arrived the flames had spread over
the centre of the building, which is three stories high, aid
elevated considerably above the wings; and the whole
mansion seemed in great danger of haling a prey to the
flames. Happily, however, a good supply of hands, inclu-
ding a great number of " na‘‘ in " and other workmen from
the North Staffordshire Railway, which runs within a mile
of Sandon-hall, were quickly on the spot, and the engines
began their operations immediately. Previously, however,
to the arrival of the engines, the bulk of the furniture,
paintings, books, and statues, had by dint of great exertions
been removed to the lawn in front and are all saved.

THE BRAZILS.

Lord Ilowden arrived at Portsmouth last, night in
her majesty's steamer Firebrand, having left ltio do
Janeiro on the 21th of April.
By this arrival we hear of the effects of the news
upon the Brazilians of the revolutionary affairs of
Continental Eerope, which were unexpectedly as-
tounding. French business was stopped ; monetary
transactions seer. suspended; and a blank Bourse on
their part was all but the result.
The Exchange with Eneland was at 2.1 to 1.
The Emperor was in ltio, much affected by the
expatriation of the house of Bourbon, with which he
is so closely allied.
The affairs of La Plata are mending, but so slowly
as to be almost imperceptible.

RUMOURED ASSASSINATION OF THE
KING OF NAPLES.
A private letter from Turin states that while they
were missing 7'e Drum in the cathedral of that city, for the
recent victories of the Piedmcutese over the Austrians, the

a dispatch from Naples stating that the king had been
assasainated.—Sun.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.-TrEBDklt.

la the Salk des Pas Perdas the principal topic of
conversation was the resignation of several members of the
government. and the details of the session of ypesterday.
AmonliC, these, the retirement of MM. de I:martins
and Ledru Rollin was spoken of with confidence.
It was said the Ministry of Justice had been offered to
M. Betbmont, who had made a condition of his acceptance
of it the reappointment of MM. Portalis and Laudrin.
The sitting was opened at half-past one, under the ex-
President M. Bucher:.
The commencement of the session was occupied with the
usual formalities on the election of a new President.

M. SENAHD, the new President, addresstd the Assembly,
thanking them, and took occasion to request them for the
&Imre to conduct their discussions with greater calmness teal
order than hitherto, as the gravest interests of the csantry
were about to come before them.

L'Abbe FATET desired that, with this •iew, some
change should be made in the arrangements of the
Chamber. . .

A proposition wu then made to hold the meetings of the
Assembly in the old chamber, or at the Tuileries.
The )Mutates or FINANCE presented a project of decree
for the It ctified budget of 1848, including the expenses
of the Provisional Government, but nut those of the Execu-
tive Commission.
_ .

This was referred to the Committee of Finances.
Di. FERDINAND DE LtaTEYILIE proposed that thr, general-
in-chief of the National Guard should be an elective office,
which was well received.
The Chamber then went into a consideration as to the
allowance to the President and Questors.
Nothing more of any interest occurred.

ITALY.

Private lettere from 'tome, of the 28th, say that an
ambassador had left for Vienna, charged by the Pope
to negociate place on the basis mentioned in the
letter to the Emperor of Austria, which we have
already published.
For sevoral days before the surrender of Peschiera,
the rarrisun had only horse flesh to subsist on.
1 Signals of distress nere constantly made to Verona
1 and Mantua. The Piedmontese artillery has done
much dumlge in the town.
(.; load Fell,mberg, an A.istrian, who ha•l gone to
Milan to assist in the lute re-actionary movement in
that city, has been arrested.
The Prince Eugene of Savoy, Lieutenant General
of Piedmont, has issued an ordonnance for the annexa-
tion of Piacenza, in which he makes certain decrees
as to the laws, the liberty of the press, and the
customs. _ 1

The affair at Goito was almost wholly one of ar-
tillery. The night prevented the cavalry from longer
pursuing the enemy. The battle lasted from eleven
in the morning to eight in the evening. The
following night the Austrians were at Ceresara.
The Piedmontese entrenched themselves at Asela,
which they fortified with artillery placed on the walls.
The Risorgimento, of the 2nd inst., gives some par-
ticulars respecting the surrender of Peschiera. On
the evening of the 30th ult., in consequence of a capi-
tulation, the Piedmontese entered Peschiera, and dis-
tributed 1,700 rations to the famished inhabitants.
The next day the Austrian garrison, 1,600 in number,
marhed oat with flying banners and all the honours
of war. They were to lay down their arms at a mile
distanco from Peacheira, and then be marched to
Ancona to embark for Trieste. Previous to the
capitulation, the Austrians had made an attempt to
relieve the fortress on the side of Calmasine ; a body
of from 5,000 to 6,000 men attacked that place, but
were repulsed by the 2,000 Piedmontese who were
stationed there. 117 pieces of artillery of different
calibre were found at Pesehiern. Among the prisoners
talon at Goito is Prince Hohenloho-Reuthheim.
