PARIS, WIDNE/DAY, 11.30 A.ll.
The journals this morning contain little domestic
matter of general interest. The arrival and reception
of Prince Louis in the Assembly supply of course a
subject of various comment. It now apposes that
Prince Louis has in fact been in Paris for a week or
more, and in his solicitude to conceal his presence,
and to te event untimely and unprofitable popular
demonstrations, he has el anged his place of abode
almost daily. It is remarked to-day that La Reortne,
the ultra-democratic organ, has considerably mitigated
its tone respecting him. It is said that the present
adviser of the family is M. de Lamartine.
Notwithstanding the immense number of 'speakers
inscribed for the question of one or two chambers, the
discussion is expected to be brought to a close to-day.
About VA mu tubers will probably vote in favour of
two chambers ; the system of a single chamber will be
carried therefore by • considerable majority. It is
expected that M.M. de Lamartine and Thiers will
'peak to-day on this question.
The question of the presidency will come under dis-
cussion in the course of next week. The moderate
party have resolved to support the principle of the
election by universal suffme. The government, who
will be joined by the ultra-democrats on this occasion,
will vote that the first president shall to elected by
the chamber. It the former should prinail, and the
election be immediate, which probably will he the
one, Prince Lcuis would certainly be elected. If the
latter principle be adopted, the result would be very
doubtful, it being now certain that Gen. Cavaignec
would nit obtain a majority in the chamber.
The sport which I mentioned last niitht of the
death of M. Gent, a member of the Assembly, in con-
sequence o' a wound received in a duel with M. Leo
de la horde is contradicted. M. Gent has had his
left arm shattered by the ball of his adversary, and
amputation has been rendered necessary, but death
has not ensued.

The Pats its say.: "It is st.ted that it has been de-
cided that the insurgents new on board the pontone at
Brest shall be transferred to Belle Isle, and placed
under the direction of M. Antony Beraud, a man of
great ability and experience, and of most honourable
character."

Ants.Prit:—This theatre opened last night for the
winter seamy, ender the mole management by which it has
for several years pest trait successfully conducted. During
the recess it has teen redecorated with considerable tact*, a
' new centre chandelier and a new drop scene have been
addtti, the stage has been enlarged, and various other ire.
provereente have been effected. The company is the same
as that of last season, and the pieces selected for the opening
were the old favourikr, the " Harvest How," and " Cfmng
to the Derby." The national anthem was sung alter the
Best Wee, and was lou fly applauded. Madame Celeste, Mis.
Woo*ar Wright, Bedford, and the other principal actors,
were belay welcomed on their appearance. The house
was crowded to ewes, which possibly is the meson why we

BANK OF ENGLAND.

The adjourned meeting of Bank of England pro-
prietors was held yesterday in th- Court-room, for th► purpose
of taking the votes upon the question of the dividend. It
will be recollected that at the meeting held last week the
directors proposed that there should be a payment for the
halt-year of 31 per cent , without any deduction for income
tax, and that an hon. proprietor, Mr. Fielder, thereupon
maudlin amendment that the dividend be 31 per cent, and
that, in addition, a bonne of 1 per cent, be raid.
The voting continued until the afternoon, when the ballot
closed, and after a short time Messrs. Sutton, Chorale,
Pf ne, and Cusses*, the scrutineers, reported the numbers to
be as follows :—For a dividend of three-and-a-half per cent.,
138; fur three and a-half and one per cent, Irina% 123; ma-
jority for the original resolution, 15. The dividend there-
fore is as proposed by the director!, viz., threenand.s.half
per cent for the half year.
Mr. FIELDER then rote and rerouted that he hoped the
court would give him credit for not having any desire to
create oppoei.ion agninst the executive, as he acted upon
rrinciple, and was eats-bed the dirnctors conducted the busi-
ness of the corporation with much ability.
The GOVERNOR, in reply, said that Mr. Fielder bad, no
doubt, acted consistently. The wart then adjourned.

MAJOR SDWARDRB —Mr. SULLIVAN slid that before the
court proceeded to the business of the day he was soxioss to
all the attention of the proprietors to the gallant and teen-
acendont services of Major Edwardes—(hesr)—services
which he might state bat never been exceeded in the snails
of the Indian empire. The promptitude and sagacity which
that gallant young officer had disp.ayed on a late occasion
wens bayasd all praise, and he hoped that the Court of Di-
rectors would lose no time in marking their opinion of thine
services, and that they would record the tense they enter
Wised of his noble conduct. He was sorry to say that the
gallant officer had nearly lost the use of his right hand by
the explosion of a pistol.
The CHAIIIIIAN said he felt great pleasure in rejljing to
the remarks made by the honourable proprietor, and the
but thing he could do would be to read the minutes of the

COMMERCIAL Mfr MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Clock.—The funds are still pursuing their
upward course. Consols were first quoted 871 to 1
for money and the opening, from whence they suc-
cessively became buyers at t, ?, and until now
they are 87 to; for money and this account, and 871
buyers for the next, with a brisk market. This ex-
traordinary and continued rise in government secu-
rities must not be supposed to be owing only, or
chiefly, to the force of extensive purchases by capi-
talists and the public for investment, now that the
dividends are bringing eo much money forward,
for, in fact, it is not improbable that the bulk
of business of that description will have been
concluded. The explanation on the Stock Exchange
of the advance is that parties, that is, technically
speaking, the " bears," who had sold largely last
account on the speculation of a fall in prices, and
have since been enlarging their stakes in the same
direction during the present account, and who, it is
known, have shown much uneasiness latterly, as prices
adversely to their hopes ascended, are now in a real
panic, with the settlement of account on the
18th at hand, whilst day by day prices are
still raised upon them. In this situation they
find themselves at length impelled to rush
into the market and to buy bark the stock they
had sold for time, and would be called upon to de-
liver, whatever the further sacrifice. These compul-
sory purchasers contribute to raise the market upon
themselves, for in proportion to their eagerness to
purchase, the parties for the rise, that is, the "
and those who really hold stock for sale, demand
higher rates of prices. From the inconsiderable
contour, or rate of continuation to next account,
which is only 1, it would appear that no very san-
guine expectations are entertained in any quarter of
any great further improvement in Consols, even if
present prices be maintained. Reduced Threes are
87:i to I. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 881 to 4.
Exchequer Bills, 245. to 265. premium. Bank Stock,
194 to 7.
Attention is so absorbed by home stocks, that but
little is doing in foreign. Mexican are quoted 18 to I.
They were called yesterday, through an error copied
from a broker's printed list, 18; to 19, instead of the
prices as now given. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. are 541 to 1 ; the Fours have advanced to 851
to 6. Spanish Fives, 191 to 1; the Threes, 291 to 1.
Portuguese, 26 to 7.
The Hamburg Borsenholle, received this morning
to the Bth inst., states that the news of the large
failures at Frankfort bad interfered very prejudicially
at first with the operations of Leipsic, but that subse-
quently, when it was found that the merchants and
bankers of the latter place would be little implicated

military posts of Paris will be doubled ; the Garde
Repnblicaine will be consigned to its quarters, as
well u strong detachments of troops of the line.
Several battalions of the Guard Mobile have been
ordered to be in readiness to bivonack in the Champs
ElysCes.
Tne funds suffered a considerable fall to-day. The

Fives, which opened at 69 10, closed at 67 75.
Bank shares have fallen 30 francs on yester-

THE CASE OF MR. MITCHEL.

Sir W. VEHNkill wished to put a question to the right
hon. baronet the Secretary for the Home Department. lie
wished to knot • hether he hail heard, or if there was any
truth in the report, that John 'Mitchel. when put on board
the Shearwater reau vessel t t be conveyed to spike Island.
had been Patten:vied by the officers of the ve-e,i, plac. d at
their table, and partook of their mesa, and had been treated
on board not as a tinvicted felon, but as a passenger ? Ile
(kir W. Verner) should be sorry to stand is the way of
proper attention being paid to a person iu Mitchel's position,
but be could not understand why he, in the situat nn of a
convicted Moo, should he placed at the table of officers in
her Majesty's service. 1 Hear, hear.)
Sir 0. GREY was afraid he could not give the hon. mem-
ber any specific information on the sunject. All he (Sir
G. Gr. y) knew was, that Mitchel was placed en board the
Shearwat• r br ender of the Lard-Lieutenant, to be conveyed
to Spike Island, which was a convict depot, and that the
Shearwater made the resew there in one raiflas fask
(Sir G. Grey) had no formal or official information on the
matter to wttch the question referred, but certainly a report
had reachid him that one of the officers of the Shearwater
had invited Mitchel to breakfast on the morning the vessel
was on her passage ; hut he was also informed this officer wan
not the commander of the vessel (who was only a lieutenant),
but was, he believed, the assistant-suracon. He (Sir G.
Grey) had called the attention of his cools friend the Fint
Lord of the Admiralty to the statement of the occurrence as
be had received it, and he had no doubt his noble friend had
taken tho a measures which he thought were lit to be pur-
sued in the matter. (Hear, hear.)

tion of the grammar schools required early attention, he was
not able to promise that .iuy measure with that 01;i. ct could be

COMMERCIAL 81 MARKETS.

tIONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'clock.—The continued extraordinary fall
in the French funds has caused much anxiety, al-
though the fact has not produced any injurious
effect on our own funds. The Three per Cent
Rentes are reported in some quarters to have
been done as low as 32f. 50c. at Paris, yesterday, but
the Cour, Authentique gives 34f. 25c. as the lowest
price within the regular hours of the Stock Exchange.
if the lower rate quoted represented actual business, it
mast therefore have been business done in the Coulisse,
after the official close, among outside speculators.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

NEW COURT.-Before the Common Sesjcant and Aldermen Pare.
Mother and
PROSECCTION ORDERED 111' COMMISSIONER OF BANK-
RI;PTCY.—A married woman, named Johnson, was indicted
in the fictitious name of Mary Jones, fur having stolen 29
yards of silk, value 605., the property of J. Greethead
Strachan and another. In a second count the silk was laid
as the property of Mr. Gale, a messenger to the Court of
Bankruptcy.-11r. 'Wilde stated the case for the prosecu-
tion, which was instituted by order of Mr. Commissioner
Erma—Mr. George Clay, a silk mercer, &c., in Queen-
street, Cheapside, became a bankrupt, and Mr. Gale, a mes-
senger to the Court of Bankruptcy, under a warrant of one
of the commissioners, took possession of the premises and
stock, leaving in charge of the same two subordinate officers
named Hudson and Lowe.—A poliee-officer, on duty near
the bankrupt's premise., stated in evidence that on the
morning of the 6th of March he saw the prisoner
cautiously leave the premises, and on observing her
closely he thought something was concealed underneath
er dress, and he accordingly questioned her about it. He '
found that she had a roll of silk concealed about her, and he
took her into custody—when she accounted for the pour-
pion of the silk by asserting that the two mess in ponesion of
the premises, Hudson and Lowe, had given it to litr, in re-
turn far her having Rawl the night with them, in the
warehouse. An inquiry into the truth of this was made,
when Hudson awl his brother officer confessed that the wo-
man had been with them the greater part of the night ; bat
they most positively denied that they had ever given ha
permission to take the silk. They said that she left them to
go down stairs for a minute, saying that she would return ;
but, lotted of doing so, she had stolen the silk and got. out
of the house. This being believed, the prisoner alone was
prosecuted. On behalf of the prisoner, Mr. Baldwin con-
tended that it wee quite out of the question to suppose
that any fury would convict the prisoner, in the
face of the facts disclosed by the evidence,
pe-
ciaßy as neither of the officers, Hudson and Lowe,
1 had been placed in the witness-boa, to swear that they bad
not given the prisoner the milk, as alleged by her, for her
henna passed the sight with them. In the absence of aloes
twomen, the jury would be almostoompelled to presume that
they did give her the silk ; and even were it supposed that
she knew they had no right to give it to her, she could not
be found guilty of receiving it as stolen, bieaus she wee
not indicted upon that charge.—Mr. Comuheioner Bullock
told the jury that if the evidenesi, the absence of Hudson
end Lowe, led them to believe that the wu given by
them to the prisoner, they wen bound to acquit her .—The
jury, without any hesitation, returned a verdict of Not

Letters from Rome, of the 28th ult., state that the

civic guards occupied all the military posts. A sub-

equipping the volunteers. The Pope had subscribed
30,000 francs, ar.d the religious orders, the nobility,

Late accounts from Berlin state that the ministry

Count Schwerin, having resigned his office, has been

who only accepted office provisionally, is to be re-
placed by General Hauser or by General Willefrew.
Ills latter is called for by the Polish deputies to be
placed at the head of the army of the duchyof Posen.
The ministry is entirely taken from that portion of
the Diet which was known as the ultra-liberal party :

which are tue must unreasonable and the most en-

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUKfteosvON, Arran 3.
Before the Lard Chief Justice and a ,peciol Jury.
sit o. MI6 KY W F.A7 It E was an action
to recover damages for a libel published by the defendant in
the form of a pamplilet.—Lerjeant Slice stated the case.
Tae plaintiff in this action was r. ohn Turner, a gentle-
man at a very advanced period of life, lseirg e 9 years of age,
and he was compelled to adopt the ;resent proceeding to
vindicate his character from one of the most serious libels
that had ever waiter been brought to the notice of a court
of justice. The plaintiff was formerly a member of the firm
of Turner and Sons, gold reSnen, of the City of London,
but retired with his brother, Mr. W. Turner, from the busi-
ness with an ample fortune in 1827, and in 1829 Mr. W.
Turner died, leaving one daughter, Mary Anne, who was
the wife of the defendant, Mr. William Stevens Merywea-
thee. A the death of the first wife of Mr. W.
Tamer he married • Miss Ethersey, who: had
been the governess of his daughter, and as the
young lady did not live on good terms with her step-
mother she was placed is a lharding-school at Brighton,
at which place she became acquainted with the defendant,
and ultimately married him without the consent, and, in-
deed, against the will of her father, who would never sena
tion the marriage; and although he afterwards did betters
ourteossly to his daughter's husband. it appeared quite
clear from his subsequent conducttowards t.:m that he never
looked upon Mr. Meryweather with a ix,/ (ramble eye. The
marriage took place in 1808, and for some considerable time
afterwards Mr. W. Turner was very indignant, and declared
that he would not give his daughter any marriage portion,
but after some years he consented to purchase a reversion, to
which his daughter would have been entitled, and 4ave the
defendant 2,5001. for it, and afterwards advanced him 6001.
upon his note of hand; but this was the whole extent of the
leathery aid he would ever afford him. Mr. Turner
did, however, allow his daughter 2001. • year.
and although he would aot have any communica-
tion with her husband he was on very friendly
terms with her, and he also provided liberally for his grand-
children+ the issue cf the marriage with the defendant, and
met them to college, and paid the necc y expense for one
of them being celled to the bar. Mr. W. Turner lost his
Wend wife, and after that event he continued to reside upon
his mete at Woodeote Lodge, Canhalton, until 1829, liken
he died ; and at this time Miss Etherwy, • slater of his

the exercise of Mr. John sewed, of Lincoln Coll., previous to his pro-

ansion was an anthem from portions of the Ilth and 12th chapters of
&Walt. Dr. Elney, who appeared in bin robes an U. 31.. conducted.
Messrs. Marshall, KeiWick', and others, lent their efficient aid as in-
strumental performers. The trebles and choruses were well sus-
tained by the sboristers of New Collage and members of the different
choirs of Oxford ; and although the music was sung and played al-
mut literally at first sight, it gave great satiafaction, and reflected
credit on the composer.

Tao AllltY or von LEAOUB.— A contingent of the army
of the league made its tint demonstration here at Cashel on
Thursday evening, when upwards of four hundred men,
calling themselves the King Cormac Club, but really the
Cashel regiment, muttered in Ladieswell-street, and after
being marshalled by their president, i. e., Colonel, Mr.
?dichul Doherty, into four companies, commanded respec-
tively by Messrs. Coman, Power, Upton, and O'ltyan, as
captains, were told od from right to left, formed four
deep, and marched out with all the honours of war,
drums beating, &c., to their exercise ground on the
race-field, about half a mile from the town, where they
performed some of the primary military manieuvrsa
with tolerable steadiness. They returned into town by a
different road, passing the barrack gate, and through the
entire length of the main street. When the regiment ap-
proached the hotel where Mr. Serjeant Howley, our county
judge, is lodging, the band, in compliment to that func-
tionary, or. perhaps, in derision, changed the air they hail
been playing to that of " Garry Owen." They finally
reached the parade, aGil, after a short complimentary address
from their commander, who pithily told them that the time
for speech making was past and gone, that arming for action
was now required, they were dismissed with orders to
assemble again on Thursday evening, the 29th instant.—

FEARFUL MORTALITY IN ONE FAMILY.—In the families
of three sisters, at Easthaven, near Arbroath, not less than
eight deaths have, since the commencement of the present
month, taken place. The husband and four of the children
of one of the sisters—two children of another—and one child
of the third have, in rapid succession, died of scarlet fever.
Tit El r AND HUN EtiTY.—On Saboath last, Peter Rankine,
a fishmonger a• Rothesay, observed a pocketbook in the
court at the back of his house, which, on examining, he
found to contain documents, in the shape of bills, bonds,
&c., to the value of about 8,0001. By these papers Rankine
discovered the owner to be a Greenock gentleman. On the
following morning he went to Greenock. but found the
gentleman to be from home. Rankine, however, made his
errand known to the loser's son, and the pipers, &c., have
been restored. How these documents came to lt.ithesey 111
a mystery. The Greenock gentleman says he did not land
at Rothesay, but supposes his pockets must have been picked
on board the steamer.—Rerifretedsire Adrerliser.

AUSTRIA.—VIENNA, JUNE 23.—Great calm has
prevailed here during the last few days. The govern-
ment is obliged to have recourse to extraordinary
measures to ward off the great financial crisis. As it
was impossible to establish a general impost on the
revenue except in the legal manner, the ministers
had meanwhile decided to deduct d per cent. from all
salaries, pensions, amounting to from 1,000 to
3,001 florins, and 10 per cent. horn those which exceed
3,000.
The Archduke John is expected here to-morrow,
when he will immediately undertake the conduct of
all the affairs of this government as delegase of
the Emperor. Baron \on 1)obblhof has arrived
to-day, and Baron Von Wessenberg is expected
to-morrow. It is asserted that he has reagned
the portfolio of the Interior into the hands of his
Majesty, and intends quitting the ministry. A depu-

the arrears of an annuity grin.ed by the testator in the
cause by a post-nuptial settlement, and secured by a cove-

legatees, and other parties, claiming under the tutator's

the settlement annuities, and the muter had found the
amount due, but had not made any allowance in respect of
