(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING

The Constitutionne/ has an article on the affairs
of Naples, which, I am told, has been communi-
cated to it by the Government, and which conse-
quently expresses the views of the Government;
but it says little that it not known already. Thus,
it declares that the reply of the King of Naples to
the remonstrances of England and France was a
refusal to attend to what they said, and was
offensive in form. But it says that in compliance
with the representations ofAustria he subsequently
consented to exercise some acts of clemency, so as
to avert the anger of the Western Powers: It
intimates, however, that these concessions are not
sufficient, and it states that he must do something
to remove the painful impression which his reply
to the French and English notes have created on
the Governments of the two countries.
Touching the Italian question, I am informed
that the French Government will probably refrain
from adopting any decisive policy with respect
to it, until it shall hear what M. Hubner, the
Austrian ambassador in this city, who has been
sent into Italy on a mission from his government,
has to say on it.
The idle reports that. the Emperor contemplates
a divorce from the Empress, which have been
current lately, are again repeated, but they merit
no attention. On the contrary, the Emperor, so
far from contemplating a divorce, seems disposed
to initiate the Empress into the practice of state
affairs, and the ministers have been directed to
take her opinion on certain matters.
Constantinople accounts to the 4th, say, that as
France and Turkey had no vessels to send to take
part in the' demonstration made by England in the
Black Sea, four other English vessels had been
sent into that sea. The difficulties with respect to
Bolgrad had not diminished. Tekeddon Pasha
had been nominated governor of Kars. Corn had
risen in price at Constantinople, and the harvest
in the Asiatic provinces had failed from drought,
but the stores of 1855, in these provinces, were
untouched, and vast quantities of corn could be
obtained from the Russian provinces in the Sea of
Azoff.
A Hamburg despatch says that M. Thiers, the
Count de Paris, and the Duke de Chartres, had
left that place for Ostend, in consequence of a
despatch from the Orleans family in England
People ask what is on foot?

the public business.
The measure which you have passed and to which I

Prohibiting the Importation and Manufacture of and
Traffic in Intoxicating Liquors, will have a material
effect in improving the financial condition of the Province;

Sir Wm. Eyre, K C 8., Commanderin-Chief of
Her Majesty's Forces in British North America,
and the Roman Catholic Bishop of Montreal.
Both the general and the bishop were received at

had taken place at Donegana's Hotel, Montreal.
The Honourable Mr. Joseph Cauchon, president
of the North-shore Rail Way, was called to the
chair. Two important resolutions were adopted.
The former recommended the union of all the
incorporated companies interested in the projected
railway from Lake Huron to Quebec; the latter
appointed Mr. Cauchon to enter into correspon-
dence with English capitalists and others, for the
purpose of forwarding the construction of the
Quebec and Huron Railway, and of promoting the
general interest of the company.

," THE SEVEN AGES OF WOMAN."

(BEFORE MR COMMISSIONER AITTRPIIY.)
In re Tuomns W. M. O'KEEFE.—This insolvent, who

had been manager and proprietor of Miss Stanley's " Si en
Ages of Woman," was heard in the Insolvent DAtors'

Court, on Wednesday, on his petition under the P,ison Act.
Mr. Reed opposed for Mr. Moore, up'aolsterer, in Finsbury;
person ; Mr. Dowse supported. F, will be remembered that
two creditors named Foulkes and Simmonds appeared in
the insolvent and a Mr. Ghislin (who had petitioned under
the Protection Act) had been joint managers and proprietors
of the entertainment called the "Seven Ages of Woman.'
Miss Stanley was to have one clear third of the rec; ipts.
Mr. Moore had supplied carpets, chairs, &c., for the enter-,
tainment, at St. Martin's-hall, and was, as the insolvent
stated, to give six months' credit. Mr. Simmonds had
previously
.a stage, but threatened to take it away,
and ttrePaldpepl!Cation to Mr. Moore through an agent
hone e S
named Willett. When the insolvent and Ghislin were at
Liverpool to open there they were arrested on a judge's
order by Moore, as also Miss Stanley. The money was
paid into court and returned on the judge being satisfi, d
that they did not contemplate leavin,c., the country. Miss
,Emma Stanley had gone to New York. The action Wag
tried, and a verdict given for Mr. Moore, at an expense of
about £4O. Had there been no defence the costs would
have been £3 Ba. Mr. Commissioner Murphy was of
opinion that there could be no complaint for a vexations
defence. The insolvent proved, and the attorney for Mr.
Moore admitted, that the goods had been offered to be re-
turned. The former stated the terms of credit to be given,
and sold he had subpeermed Mr. Moore, but he was iiet its
attendance. Some witnesses were called, and Mr. Ghislin
was one of them. He said he had part of the articles sup-
plied by Mr. Moore and they were detained by his landlord
for his board and lo lging. Mr. Commissioner Mhy
considered that Mr Moore had supplied the goods as Murphy
considered that Mr Moore had supplied the goods as toek
in trade to the.insolvent, and looked to the success of the
en ertainment to be paid. From the insolvent's examina-
tion it appeared that he had £5OO of Miss East, who had
preferred a criminal charge against him at the
Old Bailey. lie had paid her £lOO down, and gave
a warrant of attorney for £4OO, payable at ,£2a
a year. He had a gift of £5O a year from his wife. Ha
had £l5O a-year from her, but had two sons, ono of wherry
was dead. His other sun would come into a good deal of
property. The money he had from Miss East was lost in a
French invention. Mr. Commissioner Murphy several times
intimated that there was no case on the part of Mr. Moore,
and finally decided against his opposition. Mr. Thomas
Foulkes complained that he discounted a bill of £75, giving
£6l on the statement of the insolvent that he had £l5O a
year from his wife. lie received an order for £75, which
was not paid. An attorney's clerk stated that the insolvent
told him that be had a half-year's income due, and he rave
him a note to Mr. Foulkes, which led to the advance. The
insolvent denied that he said he had an income settled on
'aim of £l5O a year. He had a half-year's payment due at
the time he gave the order. Mr. Commissioner Murphy'
was of opinion that the insolvent was not justified in getting
the money from Mr. Foulkes. Mr. Sitnmonds, the other
opposing creditor, proved that in a patent the insolvent had
used a description omitted from his
.schedule, Mr. Com-
missioner Murphy held that the case must be adjourned for
the insolvent to amend his description and re-advertise. lie
should advise hm in the interim to settle with Mr. Foulkes,
as he considered a case of fraud had been proved by that
creditor. the case would come before him in September.
The insolvent asked if he might be allowed to remain on
bail ? The learned Commissioner said it would probably
facilitate an arrangement with Mr. Foulkes. lle should
require the bail to assent to his remaining at large. One of
the bail being present, expressed his willingness to let the
insolvent remain at liberty. Mr. Commissioner Murphy
had no objection. The opposition of Mr. Simmonds would
remain open, but he wished the insolvent distinctly to
understand that if be did not settle with Mr. Foulkes he
would receive a judgment. The ease was adjourned to the
19th of September, and bail enlarged,

AN INNOCENT ,MAN CONVECTED.—It will be recollected
that some time since a man named Jackson was committed
from this (Chelmsford) bench on the charge of breaking
into a shoemaker's shop at Writtle, more than a year ago,
and stealing nine pairs of boots from Mr. Saltwell, for
whom he had before worked. The evidence appeared very
conclusive. The policeman who stopped the thief with the
boots in his possession, in Writtle, on the night soon after
the robbery had been committed, but from whom ho
escaped, swore very positively to him. The prisoner, how-
ever, asserted that he was at work in Buckinghamshire at
the time; this he repeated at his trial at the recent
assizes, but he was convicted. Superintendent Raison,
however, felt it his duty to communicate to the court a
letter he had received tending to confirm the prisone.'
story, and Lord Chief Justice Pollock postponed th-
tence, in order that enquiry might be made.
the solicitor for the prosecution, had caused an invest._
tion to be made, and the conclusion come to was that the
prisoner was innocent. Affidavits were laid before tho
bench for signature, in order to be forwarded to the
authorities. One of them was from Mr. Woo Hard, a boot
and shoemaker at Stony Stratford, in Buckinghamshire,
who stated that from June to'September, 1855, the pri-
sonor was in his service, working for him, and that dur-
ing that period he was never absent for a whole day. As
Stony Stratford is 84 miles from Chelmsford, and the
robbery was committed on the 9th of August, it was clear
the prisoner was not the thief. It is right, however, to
state that Jackson was apprehended at Galleywood-
common on another charge, and that when he was taker'
to the station the superintendent suspected, from the
description which had been given to him more than a year
ago, that prisoner was the man who escaped, and left the
boots behind ; there must, therefore, have been a strong
resemblance between the prisoner and the real thief'. As
the prisoner has been convicted, the form of a free pardon
will be necessary, which will probably be granted on these
affidavits, and he will be:liberated.—Essex Herald.
