TEE BIDET OF CONVEYING TILE QUEEN.—The
only diaegvesalle incident connected with the Queen's tour
in Scotland this year occurred in Dumbartonshire. Sir
George Grey requested Mr. Campbell of Tilliehewan to have
carriages for the use of ber Majesty when she descended
Loch Lomond, and to convey the Queen from Belloch to
Dumbarton. Sir James Colpshoun, of Lum, is Lord-
hado umbartoshire— fact that Sir George Grey
either overlooked or dida net regard. The Lord
Lieutenant, however, resented the application to Mr. Camp.

with his own conveyances through the county. The claim
is, we believe, consistent with etiquette, if her Ma-
jesty bad been official:y engaged is examining Dumbarton-
shire; thieves not the ease, and the old relies of a period '
when the escort implied danger, and the formation of an
armed force, could have no force in a journey undertaken for
motives not of an official character. The e:aim seems to have
been tacitly allowed, although not unlikely to have caused
umbrage, and Prince Alisert aloes descended Loch Lomond.

A MAN DROWNED AT GLASCOW.—About three

named Blair, belonging to Btrstbbungo, lost his ifs in the
harbour. It appeared that, with another companion, he
seated himself on • plank at Lancefield Quay, where both
parties tell a.leep. After a short interval his companion
missed the deceased from his side, and immediately gave the
alarm. It was soon ascertained that one of the Light watch-

being appointed for the re•examl..ation of Emma Church,
nput t►e charge of unlawfully concealing the will of Jacob
King, her reputed husband. This defendant surrendered at
the appointed time, accompanied by her ctorcey, Mr. W.
Drummind. Mr. Woollett, tho barrister, attended for the
prosecu is i. It will be remembered that on the last la:
quiry it appeared that the decesed di, di on the 2 i.h of July,
and a tew hour. before his death lie calkil certain pi rsons to
sign a paper, which he declared to be his will, and which Wtse
immeiti.tely after delivered to the defendant. It appeariid
that another will had been made in 1811 by the deceesiol,
and it was with rcspect to the latter it-strut..lent that the
charge was priferrvi.
Mr. Drummond, upon this occasion, said that the paper
was in the hands of a person, and that it should be produced.
ti port the ems being now cawed on, Mr. Woollett inquired
whether the instrument in question was to be produced, as,
if it were, it would save a good deal of time,
Mr. Drummond said that, before he gave any further
answer to the charge, he should like to have all the evidence
that was adduced to support it.
A sun in-law of the deceased was then examined, but his
testimony wis rather favourable ti the defendant than
otherwbe, a: he proved that she had always admitted that
she had the document, and told hint that she had given it
it into the care of a friend.
Mr. Drummond addressill the Bench on behalf of the de-
fendant, ciintendiog that the charge was utterly without
fouodati is, and had been got up ot.t of a vindictive feeliiig
against the defeadant entertained by the relations of the de-
em*. il.
Mr. Clarkson, the prictor, wee examined, and he proved
that the defendant, on the mornint of the 26th July, had
brought him the original will, and else the piper in ques-
tion, and had employed him to I:ct 01 her betialt, and he said
that probate was in course of being granted upon one of the
instruments, that of 1841. Ile also expressed an opinion
that the paper in question did not come within the descrip-
tion of a will.
Mr. Drummond wilted if there was any appearance of con-
cealment ii, the conduct of the defendant with regard to the
inert/the los ? . .

Mr. Clarkvua said, certainly not.
The magistrates then said, that although upon the first
ore nign it appeared to hint that there had been a prima
facie case made out, which wenn j amity further inquiry,
th.y were satirfi...l, upon the evidence now addu.ed, that the
charge of concealing the will c,uld nut be su*tained, and
they therefore diiminted the charge. The defendant then
left the court with her friends.

THE THIRD EXPEDITION UNSUCCIESSIPL.
At the date of our former advices the progress of
batch arms at Bally was a series of successes, not-
withstanding the stout resistance offered by the Bali-
nese. Up to the arrival of the lest mail from Batavia
everything betokened the complete subjugation of
Bally. The present mail brings intelligence of the
check sustained by the Dutch, which, although not
amounting to a defeat, has comp'etely frustrated the
object of the expedition, and compelled its return.
The advance of the monsoon and the determined re-
sistance of the only remaining unconquered state or
province in Bally have not only forced the Dutch to
quit the shores of Bally, but inspired the natives of
the latter country with a degree of energy and pa-
triotism which even Dutch prowess was unable to
withstand. Oar former advice' extend'.d to May 20.

province of Bslaling having been completely subju-
gated, and a new government established, the main
body of the troops quitted Djaga Raja and Sangsiet
for Karang Assam and Klong-Kong; the land passage
being almost insurmountable to an army with heavy
artillery, Sm., the general commanding, Michiels,
embarked the troops on the 9th May, and sailed for
the opposite or south-easterly part of the island,
where the only landing places were Labocan
Amok and Padang Cove. On the 12th the ships
of war and transports reached the Amok Bay, and
disembarked on the following day. On landing, it
was observed that the whole of the mountain heights
were occupied by the enemy, numbering about 3,000
men, against whom Lieutenant-Colonels le Bron de
Vexela and de Poland were despatched with several
companies of infantry, in two directions, which suc-
ceeded in Xspersing the enemy afters short skirmish.
In the meantime, the reminder of the troops landed
and marched to their head-quarters at Padang Cove,
their debarkation being secured by a body of troops
under Lieutenant-Colonel van Swie'en. The enemy's
bivouac fires were observed on the heights to the
westward during the night, but disappeared on the
following morning. Several petty chiefs surrendered
themselves at the head-quarters of the army, and
informed the general that on a false alarm Goestie
Made Djoengoctan, dictator of 'Luang Assam, had
Bed in company with a few of his followers, but the
true or well-disposed population refused to follow
him. A few days subsequently the Qoestie tendered
his submission to the general, and suggested that on
the advance of the troops several persons of rank
would forsake the rajah. The submission of Ciorstie

been perfectly unsuccessful in their search fur the gallant
Franklin sad his brave companions.

of Prince Regent's Inlet and Burrow's Straits. Oa the 15th

the Investigator wss spoken by a vessel, and informed that

DUBLIN. Nov. 3.
The address to Lord Roden, adopted at the privAe
meeting of noblemen and gec;l.men held in Leitrim
House (Tourney's Hotel) on Wednesday, duly made
its appearance in the Mail of last night. It is more
argumentative than such documents usually are, and
is obviously intended as a reply in detail to the
official letter of Mr. Redington.
The fifth of November is not to be celebrated by
the Orangemen of Ulster, at least in any public way,
if their own organs are to be relied on ; but the
" Protestant operatives" of Dublin are resolved not to
allow the anniversary to pans without due solemnity
here. Accordingly a " tea party" is to take place on
that evening at the R tend°, and the attendance of
Lord Roden and the Messrs. Beers is promised to
give Mat to the occasion. Ido not believe that Lord
Roden will honour the assembly with his presence.
Oa the following day, however, a " great protestant
demonstration," is to come off in the same rooms " to
express their sentiments on the act of tyranny per-
petrated on Lord Roden and the Mesers. Beers ;" and
u the advertisement proceeds. " To adopt an humble
petition to the Queen, praying her Majesty to recall
the Earl of Clarendon, to dismiss her present
ministers, and to call to her councils men who will
act in the spirit of the British constitution ! Protes-
tants ! rally for God—for your country—for truth—
for liberty !"

by the news from Madrid has subsided. Party

The news from Gibraltar is up to the 27th October.
On the 26th, urgent despatches arrived at Gibraltar
Ifrom Mr. Hay, the English charge d'affaires at
Morocco, to the governor and senior officers, and the
consequence was, that the Janus left for Tangiers on
the 27th, to protect British interests. The Arrogant
left immediately afterward+ for Mogador, to protect
British subjects there. All this is in consequence of
the dispute between the French and the Moors.
The Emperor of Morocco had acceded to all the
demands of the French except one, which is, that he
has refused to give up the courier concerning whom
a portion of the dispute erne. The French charge
d'affaires said he must here him, or proceed to ex-
trews measures. It is evident the French are deter-
mined to pick a quarrel with the Moors, and it is now
almost certain that the French are determined to
bombard Mogador and Tangiers, and if parable to
weepy them. On the 27th the French consul and
family, and a large number of Jews and Christians,
arrived at Oikaltar from Tangiers. The Mors at
first refused to allow the French consul at Mogador
to leave, but afterwards permitted it.
The cholera was raging on the African coast. It

TSB POLICE COUBTE.

MARLBOROUGIUSTREET.

SNAX RECIIsTEIS OFFICES.— William Jenkins, the
keeper of en office, No. 2, Saville street, Marylebowe, for
the ostensible purpose of supplying servants out of place
with situations, was charged with having indecently as-
saulted a German lad, named Gaspar Bochatun.
The complainant said he advertised in one of the morning
papers for a situation as page. He received a letter in reply,
requesting him to call at the office kept by the prisoner,
when he would be informed of a place that would suit him.
He went on Tuesday afternoon to Saville-street, and there
saw the primer, who took him into a back room. The pri-
soner told him he must pay half-a-crown down, and half-a-
crown more when he got the place. Witness said he would
prefer paying the five shillings when he obtained the situa-
I tion. The prisoner then approached him, and con-
ducted himself in a manner so as to excite wit-
ness's disgust. Witness was leaving the place, when
the prisoner followed him into the passage, and acted
so grossly, that witness opened the door and run
into the street. The prisoner came after him and told him
to call the next morning and he would give him the address
of the gentleman who wantid a servant. Witness seeing a
policeman, gave the prisoner into custody.
The prisoner denied the charge, and said there were per-
sons in the shop all the time who must have witnessed
everything that passed in the back room between himself
sad the lad. The charge was trumped up against him be-
cause the lad was not satisfied with the terms on which he
did business.
The prisoner then called a witness, who said ho was pre-
sent in the shop all the time. The back room was entered
by a door which had a window in it. Witness saw the pri
loner and the boy in conversation, but did not hear what
was said. Re did not tee any act of indecency towards the

bo
Horsford, one of the Mendicity Society's officers, wko
happened to be in court, came forward and recognised the
witness.
Inspector Hunant. of the D division, said the prisoner
had formerly been deputy-gaoler at Brixton, and bad been
sentenced to 7 years' transportation for robbing his master.
The prisoner had also suffered 12 months imprisonment for
an indecent assault. The prisoner had recently opened a
register shop in Great TitchSeldistrut, but had afterwards
removed to Saville-street. The office wu a sham offic,. In
two instances witness knew that money wss obtained from
servant girls, and they receive d directions to call for situa-
tions at houses which turned out to be uninhabited.
The inspector also made further disclosures of the purposes
to which sham register offices were applied.
Mr. Hardwick S ed the prisoner 61. or two mouths im-
pricament for the insult, and in addition directed the
police to look after the geingeon of a gang of persons in the
neighbourhood of Marylebone-street.

DEPARTURE FROM PERTH.

PERTH, WEDNESDAY MORNtNO.
Her Majesty and suite dined at an early hour after
their arrival at Perth yesterday afternoon. Shortly
after dinner her Majesty took by surprise the crowds
which were still lingering in the streets, by proceed-
ing in an open carriage and four to take an airing in
the beautiful grounds forming the South Inch. In
the royal carriage there were, in addition to her
Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert and two
of the ladies in waiting. In a carriage behind fol-
lowed Sir G. Grey and other in, mime of the suite.
The cavalcade proceeded at a slow pace, and hun-
dreds followed it, shouting and cheering as they
proceeded. Her Majesty seemed to be both pleased
and amused at their enthusiasm, for which she
rewarded them by many gracious acknowledg-
ments. Having ridden round the South Inch,
and foe some distarce in the direction of
Strathearn-bridge, the royal party returned to
the hotel, amid renewed greetings from the Omega
who woo in waiting for its mappearanco.

This morning the royal party was astir at an early
hour. Balmoral is about sixty miles distant from
Perth. Although half the distance might have been
accomplished by railway, it was arranged that her
Majesty and suite should post from Perth into Aber-
deenshire. The streets were crowded at an early
hour, to witness the departure, many from the coun-
try, who bad been too late to witness her Majesty's
arrival on the preceding day, having stayed in town
all night to catch a passing glimpse of her in the
morning. The weather was exceedingly favourable.
On the Queen entering her carriage the air was rent
by the most vociferous exclamations. The public
authorities were again in attendance. Her Ma-
jesty and suite took their departure shortly after
eight a.m.
The cortege, which consisted of several carriages,
took the road to Cupar Angus. On crossing the
bridge which spans the Tay at Perth her Majesty
was enthusiastically greeted by the dense crowds
which occupied the bridge at either end. The Queen
semed much refreshed after having rested for the
night, and was apparently in excellent spirits at the
prospect of an early termination to her circuitous and
fatiguing journi y.
And this competes the public progress of her Ma-
jesty. From Perth her progress assumes the charac-
ter of a private journey.—Morning paper.

THE LIVERPOOL PETITION FOR FINANCIAL

REFORM.

To --•
T the Honourable the Holum of Commons of Great
Britain and Ireland, the petition of the undersigned bankers,
merchants, broken, manufacturers, tradesmen, &c.. of the
borough of Liverpoel. humbly showeth :That yourpstitionere
are deeply impressed with the impolicy, and danger to the
best interests of the country, of our present extravagant and
isonetantly increasing expenditure : that this tendency to
increased expenditure, and to consequent distress among the
already overburdened tax payers of this country, can only
be checked by large and immediate reductions in oar mill
tory, navel, and colonial establishments, which have gone
on augmenting, until, after fourteen years of nearly undis-
turbed pesos, they exceed the expenditure of 1835 by
nearly ten millions : that no satisfactory and effective value.
ties can be madisualses the amount of armed tome be greatly
diminished, se unary Aloes abolished, the various de-
partments of adminYtration be 11 led by practised and in-
tpeil=men, issued of being, as now, assigned to political
and dependents ; tinier the oolonies be made self-
maraca and seltmistained, and the sources of revenue be
drawn from direct instead of indirect taxation ; that as a
number at taxes now pressing on the industry of the country,
and the diffusion of social comfort and program, such u the
tans and excise on tea, Raper, tobacco, malt, soap, bricks,
Umber, stamps on policies of insurance, ite., are manifestly
'squired only because a large sum is unnecessarily expended
in the rapport dour ensemoue war establhhments, your
petitioners trust that your honourable house will see the ne-
cessity of taking this 'abject into your serious consideration ;
and they pray that you will reduce the expenditure to a sum
which, in 1833, was found amply sufficient to protect our
en amerce, and to provide for national security.—And your
pekitionen, &c., &c.
