THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and of yesterday..
The Univers, in the c mime of an article on the
Constitution, expresses its; delight at it " because it
closes the door by which ':111 middle classes entered on
political life ;" but at the sa me time it demands that
more power, nay, that unlini ited power, shall be given
to the Church, a demand vitaich,,it would appear, will
be to a great extent complied with, if the rumour is
true which was confidentky circulated in Paris on
Saturday, that all Protestan is are to be excluded from
the Senate. _

Among the proscribed on the list which was with-
drawn on the remonstrvai ce of M. DE MORNY ap-
peared the name of M. COQUEREL, the celebrated
Protestant pastor. As lie whilst a member of the
Assembly gave his almmt uniform support to M.
LOUIS NAPOLEON BONADARTE and his successive
Ministers, his Protestanis (n. alone can have been the
cause of his proscription. The Count DE MONTA.
LEMBERT appears to have commenced his threatened
in :right earnest. No doubt
iolomew's massacre would
the eulogist miProtestantism
have little objection to imitate that proceeding, and
ofthe
St.
B
the present Pius would celebrate it after the same
fashion as a former Pius. Fortunately for France
and the world, however, LOUIS NAPOLEON is not a
CHARLES IX.
MM. VICTOR HUGO and ALEXANDRE DUMAS have
taken up their abode in Hamburgh.EUGENE
SUE is about to settle ori the banks of the Lake of
Geneva.
A decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic enacts
that, in consequence of the recent increase of the
military divisions, the number of artillery commands
in the divisions is psed at eleven, ten for the interior
and one for Algeria; and that there shall be an artil-
lery school in each command. The report of the
Minister of War on which this decree is founded
differs from all that have preceded it, by being ad-
dressed to " the Prinva-President," and beginning
" Monseigneur.
General CAVA!GNAC has addressed the following
letter to the Minister of War :
" Monsieur to Alinistre,—At a moment when my com-
panions in captivityare the objects of additional rigour,
the now exception m my favour gives rise to interpreta-
tions which I disown.

..-..- . _
'`l neither seek nor fear psraecution. The aspect of
the country during the last few days is, moreover, suffi-
cient to render exile supportable; but I wish to remain,
in tho presence of all, with regard to the present Go-
vernment of 1 ranee, in the only situation compatible
with my honour and with my devotion to liberty.
" I therefore beg of you, Monsieur le Ministre, to
pgliarceed upontbenecestshae retired list—a position whien thirty
necessary orders that I may, as I request, be
yoarw.' active service and eighteen campaigns entitle me
to claim. (biped) " General CAVAIGNAC."
M. DE LAMARTINE is convalescent ; he has arrived
in Paris.

Decrees are published promoting to the rank of
Officer of the Legion of Honour—M. Fortoul,
Minister of Public Instruction ; M. De Thorigny,
late Minister of
the Interior; and M. Lefebvre Da.
rale, Minister of Commerce ; conferring the rank of
Chevalier of the same order on M. Ducos, Minister
of Marine ; and M. Casablanca, Minister of Finance.
The military commission of the department of the
Jura has condemned several persons to transportation
to Cayenne. _ _

The Independence Beige has the following on the
postponement of the reception of I.U. DE MODITALEM-
'MEET by the Academy :
~ This is what has delayed up to this time the recep-
tion of M. de Montalembert by the French Academy.
The Catholic writer had in his speech attacked the first
Constituent Assembly. It was thought that there was
little good taste displayed in thus pronouncing judgment
on the first deliberative Assembly of France at the mo-
ment when the last had just disappeared. A controversy
took place, in which M. de Muntalembert, M. de St.
Aulaire, M. Villemain, and M. Cruizot took part, and a
decision Ives come to to
postpone the reception."
The Petrie, in commenting on this statement,
!Jays--

controversy in
Vthietecommittee charged to hear the first
:rending of it; but, contrary to the protestations of MM.
Villcmain
tie Pongervillo maintained the perfect right of M. de
Montalembert to retain and express the opinion he pro-
fessed at the moment vain he was named member of
the French Academy. The state of health of M. de
Montalembert has been the only reason of the postpone-
ment of his reception."
The illness of M. DE MONTALEMBEET is merely
political—the members of the Academy had signified
their intention of retiring the instant M DE ISIONTA-
LEMBERT commenced his discourse, and of returning
only when M. GUIZOT should commence his reply,
and being informed of their determination M. Ds
MONTALEMBERT was seized with a sudden and most
convenient illness.

At the services recently performed at the Invalides
in honour of Marshal SOUL; the duchess, his widow,
was present, in the pew set apart for the family. In
an adjoining one there was remarked a young
religieuse, dressed in the humble costume of a Sister
of Charity, who prayed with great fervour for the
repose of the soul of the illustrious deceased. This
female was Ndlle. DE MORNAY, grand-daughter of
the marshal. It is well known with what regret her
illustrious relative separated from this noble and
charming child, and with what heartfelt grief the old
warrior bid adieu to her, saying, " Go, you will
always be my dear grand-daughter."
The journals of the departments state that the Te
Deum, ordered to be executed on Jan. 11, was
chanted in all the communes in the utmost calm, and
in the presence of large congregations.
The Bourse was dull on Saturday, and although there
was little business transacted, public securities showed
an inclination to a fall. The Five per Cents. opened at
1041. 75e., and closed at 104 f. 30c. for the end of the
month; the Three per Cents, closed at 69f. 250.; Or-

SWEDEN.
Admiral Count DB

Swedish navy,
has resigned, in consequence of the
KING not having accepted a proposition made by him,
,
h
to do away with large vessels of war, and replace
them by frigates.

DENMARK.
The following arrangement, subject to the ratifica.
tion of the King of DENMAUS, 113 said to have been
made with Prussia and Austria by Count BILLE•
BRAHE :—" Convocation of the former Provincial
Stande of Schleswig and Holstein ;, maintenance of
the Nexus socialis of the Schleswig Holstein lilt-
terschaft ; removal of any clause which could lead
to an incorporation of inSchleswig Denmark at a
future time ; separate
Ministers for Schleswig and
Holstein, who are to be
independent of the Danish
Diet, but responsible to the KING."

In its sitting of ITALY.
the 13th, the Chamber of Deputies
of Turin adopted the budget of expenditure for artil-
lery, fortifications, and military constructions, which
amounted to 5,128,074 f., or a million and a half more
than was granted in 1851. This increase is partly
attributable. to the necessity of repairing fortifications
an
gunpowder and other military stores.
Tod pwarrodvisdthmg eenof
the sitting, and on the motion
" that the budget for 1852 do pass, M. CADONA pro-
posed the following addition :—",The sum mentioned
in the first part of the budget of Grace, Justice, and
Worship, under the title of
, Elclesiastical Expenses,'
shall cease to be paid on and from the Ist July, 1852 ;"
and at the same time proposed an order of the
it
em
altogether recommending Ministers to expunge that
altogether from the budget of 1853, and present Bills
to the Chamber calculated to carry out that measure.
The debate on this motion was adjourned to the fol-
lowing day, but the Minister of Finance was heard
to say, that without intending for the present to pledge
himself to any particular course, he could not accept
such a measure for 1852.
The Venice Gazette publishes a letter from its cor-

MONDAY EVENING,

respondent at Rome, from which we learn that Car-
dinal FIESCHI has returned to Rome. A rumour
was current there that General GEMEA.II was to
be superseded by General BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS.
Accounts had been received from Vera Cruz an-
nouncing the safe arrival of the Pontifical Nun-
cio, Monsignor CLEMENT!, at the capital of the
Mexican Republic. It is added that the question
of whether he should be received or not was warmly
discussed in the Cabinet, but that it was decided in
the affirmative through the efforts of the Minister of
Justice and that of Foreign Affairs. Nevertheless,
the Monitor Republicano, which is in the interest of
the President ARISTA, and even directed by him,
had treated this apostolical delegation with scorn, and
used such insulting epithets in speaking of the Ilead
of the Romish Church, that the Archbishop of
MEXICO has anathematised that paper. Public atten-
tion had been drawn at Rome to a monster trial of
54 prisoners, who were all convicted of complicity in
a most daring robbery which had been committed
three years ago at the Assay-office. They have all been
condemned to the galleys fur various periods. Two
silversmiths are of the number.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Beloro Vice-Chuneellor TURNER.)
HARRISON V. RANDALL.

In this case the plaintiffs are Ennui Sophia Harrison
and Georgiana Carolina Gwyane, the two youngest
daughters of the late Colonel Gwynn.; and the defen-
dants the representatives of the late John Brundred,
solicitor, of London, trustee under a settlement of Colo-
nel Gwynne, several other trustees, and the six other
daughters of Colonel Gwynne. That gentleman was
possessed of a life interest in an estate in North Wales,
and it appeared that in order to provide for his daugh-
ters, eight in number, he at different times effected poli-
cies of insurance on his own Mein the Pelican, Equitable,
and Albion Insurance-offices, two in each to the amount
of 4,0001. and 1,0001. severally, to which by various deeds
his daughters, were appointed, John Brundred, who
was solicitor to Colonel Gwynne, being in each case the
trustee. Brundred was in the habit of paying the pre-
miums for Colonel Gwynne as they became due, in order
to prevent the policies being forfeited; and Colonel
Gwynne, who was often in embarrassed circumstances,
being irregular in his repayments, the arrears amounted
to 230/. To cover this, and to provide for the future
payment of the premiums, on the 3d of October, 1832, a
deed was executed between Colonel Gwynne, his three
eldest daughters then of age, and Mr. Brundred, by
which Colonel Gwynne appointed his three daughters
to receive the bonuses on the policies iu the Equitable
Insurance Office up to the year 1830, amounting
to 3,6831., the daughters agreeing at the same time
to set aside out of this sum 1,6001. to be invested in the
Three per Cont. Consols, for the purpose of paying off
Mr. Brundred's claim, and of providing for the future
payment of the premiums. This was the deed sought to
be impeached by the present suit. Mr. Brundred was
appointed trustee to this settlement, and authorised to
surrender the bonasee and to apply the monies received
front the Equitable Office to the specified uses. The ba-
ianee of the 3,683/. was paid over to the daughters, who
it appears shortly afterwards lent it to their father
on mortgage en his life-interest in the estate. In
1836 Colonel Gwynn() died, and the policies were
divided between the eight daughters, care having
been tame by subsequent deeds to equalise the shares,
taking into account the sum received by the three eldest
from the bonuses land r the deed of 1832. On tho 9th
of September Mr. Brundred received the first intimation
of the intention of the two youngest daughters to dis-
pute the validity of the deed of October, 1832, in a letter
trom their solicitor, to which he returned an indignant
answer, but he dying shortly after, no further preceed-
ings were taken for five years, when the present bill
was filed to declare the deed of 1832 fraudulent and
void, and a breach cf trust on the part of Mr. Brundred,
and to compel the repayment from his estate of the sum
of 3,683/., received from the Equitable Office.
His HONOUR now delivered judgment at considerable
length. After going through the facts of the case, he
said that in his opinion the present suit divided itself
into two points—let, whether Mr. Brundred was liable;
2dly, whether the present form of suit was the proper one
to enforce that liability. He was clearly of opinion,
with regard to the first, that Mr. Brundred was liable,
for he had accepted the trusteeship of the settlements
for the benefit of the daughters, and it was quite certain
that he had accepted the trusteeship of the deed of Oct.,
1832, knowing it to be a fraud on the other daughters,
as it appeared he lied taken counsel's opinion on the
point. With regard to the second point, he was of opi-
nion that this was not the proper form of suit to en-
force that liability, as a subsequent deed, bearing date
December, 1832, differing only from the former one in
the amount set aside for provision for the future pre-
miums, had not been introduced into the cause, and a
part of a whOle fraud had only been sought to be set
aside. He should, therefore, dismiss the present bill
without prejudice, the costs to be paid by the plaintiff.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

HABEAS CORPUS.

Mr. PHIPPS applied to the Court for a writ of habeas
corpus, directed to a medical gentleman in Warwick-
shire, commanding him to bring up the body of his
niece, whom it was said he detained against her will. It
seemed that this lady was about forty-three years of age,
and she resided in Northamptonshire up to about Febru-
ary last year, In July, 1850, the party who made the
application on this occasion became engaged to be mar-
ried to her, but her friends were averse to the match,
and in February last she was removed to the residence
of her uncle, a medical man practising in Warwick-
shire, where she had since been forcibly detained, on the
ground that she was of unsound mind. She was not al-
lowed to walk out of doors, but kept locked up in her
bed-room, with the windows nailed down. The party
who was engaged to be married to her had frequently
seen and spoken to her through the closed window, and
she had often asked him to see an attorney to take
means to get her away.—Application granted.

7VIARLBR(Y-STREEr—(THIS DAY.)
A MAGISTRATE COMMITTED FOR TRIAL.—Mr. Hewitt
Bridgeman, an ex-M.P. and county magistrate, residing
at No. 4, Northumberland-court, Charing-cross, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with in-
decently assaulting Mrs. Julia Barnet, wife of Mr. Lyon
Barnet, merchant, 5, Gibson-street, Lambeth.
The prosecutrix said last night, about nine o'clock, my
husband and myself got into an omnibus at Notting-hill-
gate. There was only room for two persons, and I had
to get to the further end of the omnibus for a seat, and
in so doing had to pass the defendant, and I had the
greatest difficulty in accomplishing my object on account
of his knees preventing me. In my endeavour to get by
him he made use of a very disgusting expression, and
asked me if I knew that man (pointing to my husband)
as he (defendant) should like to know mo much better.
He then made use of other filthy expressions,
which I took no notice of. I sat down by his side,
having no other seat, when, in consequence of his placing
his hands in a most indelicate manner upon my person, I
gave him a push, but as no other seat was vacant I could
not get away from him. A lady subsequently got out
of the omnibus at the corner of Stafford-street, and I
got up and took her seat. My husband then asked m©
why I pushed the defendant, and I told him what the
defendant had done. My husband then called a con-
stable, and gave him in charge.
Mr. Barnet corroborated the above evidence, and in
addition stated that directly his wife had informed him
of the prisoner's conduct he (witness) told him he was
no gentleman, and it it was not for his age (defendant is
70 years of age) he would give him a good thrashing.
The defendant then turned round to witness's wife and
said, " Have I insulted you, Madam?" and her answer
was, " Yes, most grossly." Witness then got out of the
vehicle and gave him in charge.
The accused, in defence, said the statement made by
the prosecutrix was, from first to last, one tissue of false-
hoods. He could say no more, with the exception that
the man made use of the most insulting language to-
wards him.

Mr. BINGEIAN said he should send the defendant to the
sessions, and ordered him to find two bail in 501. each,
with himself in 1001, to answer the charge at the
sessions.

The deposition having been completed, and the ne-
cessary recognizances having been entered into, defen-
dant left the court with his friends.

MARYLEBONE THEATRE.
Notwithstanding the remoteness of this theatre from
the central parts of town, no frequenter •of the places
of dramatic entertainment which cluster in our vicinity
will repent a visit to the roomy, cheerful, and excellently
managed establishment in the neighbourhood of St.
John's Wood. The mirthful pantomime of Sir John
Barleycorn, which is nightly drawing crowded houses,
is admirably produced and sustained. The senery, par-
ticularly the last scene, which is of striking magnifi-
cence, is tasteful and brilliant throughout; the appoint-
ments and costumes are costly and appropriate; and the
working of the performers effectively harmonious, as
well as individually meritorious. Mr. Veroni and Miss
Malcolm trip actively and neatly through the parts of
Harlequin and Columbine. Mademoiselle Julie looks
pretty and interesting, and dances with a fairy-like
lightness as Harlequins. Corkscrew, subsequently
Sprite, is personated by H. Wright, whose extraordi-
nary agility is enhanced by a vein of grotesque
humour,
day, ue
humour, that indicates his capability to undertake
principal role after a little time. Ho may one
the cele-
brated if he
perseveres, stand forth a finished clown.
Of
-
Tom Mathews, is it not enough to say thet as
Clown he is as good as ever? Without performing any
startling feats or marvellous tours de force, there is an
ease, a breadth, a bon hommie, a revivification o. f. " Old
Joe" himself, developed in all he does, that elicits the
hearty plaudits of veteran playgoers, an peals of
laughter from the younger portion of the audience. Last,
but very far from the least, we would make special men-
tion of the Pantaloon, Mr. Paul Katie°, who gives his
part a prominence that has long been wanted. Light as
easily prostrated, and as easily set upon his legs,
acork,
ho is the very beau ideal of the venerable vagabond who
receives
• " more kicks than halfpence" from his partner
in immorality. Mr. Kellino has not been known, we
believe, in London before the present !mason; and we
recommend the metropolitan managers not to lose sight
of him, for he would be an invaluable acquisition as a
pantomimist to any theatre, as he is at present to the
Marylobone. The spirited lessee is eminently deserving
of encouragement and support for the judiciousness and
liberality of his entire arrangements, which we cordially
recommend to public patronage.

A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday at the
Forein•ofice. The Ministers present were—Lord John
Russell, the Earl of Minto, Sir George Grey, Earl Grey, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Francis Baring, the Right
Hon. Henry Labouchere, the Marquis of Clanricarde, the
Right Hon. Fox Matile, and Lord Seymour. The Council
oat ono how and a half.
