TILE PRECIOUS METALS.-
the imports of the precious metals includes 684,000 dollars by
the Africa from New York; 956.028 dollars by the Orinoco,
from the West Indies; about 10,000 ounces of gold by the
San Francisco, from Sydney ; 30,000 dollars in American
gold, by the City of Glasgow, from Philadelphia; 976/. by
the Tagus, from Gibraltar, Lisbon, and Oporto; 55,000 dol-
lars by the Hermann, from New York; and a small quantity
of gold dust, by the Bosphorus, from the Cape. The total
value of these imports may be stated at about 386,0001. On
the other hand, the exports have been more considerable. The
shipments direct from London, during the week ending Thurs.
day last, are stated in the Custom-house return as follows :
Silver bars :to Dunkirk, 8,000 ounce?. Gold coin :to Ham-
burg, 1,000 ounces. Gold bars: to Hamburg, 1,344 ounces.
Specie: to Adelaide, 25,000/. The value of these ship-
ments is only about 36,000/. The other shipments, how-

FRANCE.

The Senatus- Consulte of the 4th Novel:Abu. is much
discussed and much speculated upon in political
circles. it appears certain that some members of
that body desire that, in order to avoid all discussion,
one sole article to the following effect shall he sub-
mitted to the people :

" The French Empire shall be hereditary ,in the direct
line, in the family of Louis Napoleon. In the event of
Louis Napoleon having no male issue he shall have tho
right to name his successor. Louis Napoleon shall be em-
powered to introduce in the Constitution the modifica-
tions he may think necessary, with the view of harmon-
izing the new powers of State with the new regime."
Several new names will be shortly added to the
Patres Conseripti. One general and one admiral are
spoken of, but the hesitation is as to the choice of
persons ; the other names are those that, with one ex-
ception, have been spoken of already several times—M.
de St. Georges, director of the National Printing-office;
M. Berger, Prefect of the Seine ; M. Moreau,
Prefect of the Siaine•et• Oiie ; and M. de Suleau,
of the Bouches-du-Rhone.

A number of Senators have already arrived in
Paris. It is believed that the important session of
of the 4th will not last more than eight days. All
the documents relative to the coronation of Kings,
and of the Emperor Napoleon in particular, are being
collected in the national and other public libraries by
the employes of the Ministry of the Interior.
The Prince President, it would appear, has some
intention of paying a visit to the northern and
western departments of France previous to the pro-
clamation of the Empire.
The Chamber of Commerce of Brest has presented
an address to the President, thanking him for the
creation of that establishment.

It is expected that Abd-el-Kader will pay a visit
to Paris the moment he is allowed to quit the Chateau
of Amboise. His joy is said to be extreme at his
approaching liberation, and he has promised to pay
another visit to France in a year or two. It is be-
lieved that the Turkish Minister, Prince Callimaki,
knew nothing whatever of the President's intention
to release the Emir.
It is stated that the reduction of the number of
regiments of mounted chasseurs of the army to twelve,
and that of the hussars to eight, has been decided on.
The two regiments that will be suppressed, the 15th
of the former and the 9th of the latter, will form the
two regiments of guides to be created for the special
service of the new Emperor.
A letter from Marseilles of the 20th inst. states
that M. Durand, the commissary of police of that
town, accompanied by another officer, had arrested
25 operatives, forming a secret society. These men
had assembled the previous day in a lone house in
the valley of Anderre, where they indulged in
drinking to excess. They had exhausted the demo-
cratic vocabularly in shouting such phrases as "rive
la Republique Sociale I" "Viva la guillotine !" "A bas
les riches ' " Au feu les prates!'' and these aspira-
tions were varied by couplets from the Carmagnele,
and other favourites of the Montagnard musicians.
They were but the prelude to a significant ceremony
which followed the dessert. A representation of a
gallows was raised by them, and hailed with cries of
" The gallows is erected ; the gallows for ever !"
They next carried their fraternal theories into effect
by plundering the neighbouring orchards and vine-
yards.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY t 6&
(Before Mr, ConAtninit.ner doulburn.)
OStS tN SUMMONS CASES.
Mr. keersey applied for the plaintiff's costs in an un-
defended trader debtor summout in *hieh the defendant
had signed the admission et the debt.
Mr. Nettle resisted the application.
Ilia honour said the defendant having made no resist-
ance to the process of the court, and the plaintiff having
obtained what he sought for, he did not think the appli-
cation ought to be acceded to. The plaintiff, had now,
so to speak insured himself. If the debtor, having signed
the admission, did not pay, secure, or compound the debt
to the satisfaction of the creditor within seven days, he
committed an act of bankruptcy. The costs must be
refused.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COW?T.—Oct, 25.

OLD COURT.
CHARGE OF MANSLAUGUTER.

Richard Perry, 54, was indicted for the manslaughter
of Jane Perry.
Mr. Clarkson conducted the pcecution.
It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses
that the prisoner and the deceased, who was his wife, oc-
cupied a room in one ®f the houses iu Broad street, Lam-
beth, in which there were several other lodgers. The
deceased woman was very mach addicted to habits of
intemperance, and about 12 o'clock at night on the 18th
September she came home very drunk, accompanied by
the prisoner, who, it appeared, was sober, and very soon
after they got into their own room a woman named Mit-
chell, who occupied a room with her husband directly
under that of the prisoner and his wife, heard them
quarreling and abusing each other, and very foul lan-
guage was made use of by both the deceased and the
prisoner. After a short interval this witness heard a fall
with great violence upon the floor of the prisoner's room,
and after that, es she expressed herself, there was a
"shocking" silence. Very soon afterwards the prisoner
alarmed the lodgers in the house, and exclaimed that
his wife was insensible, and upon a light being brought
the unfortunate woman was found lying at the foot of
the staircase leading from the prisoner's room quite dead.
Mr. Thompson, a surgeon, who was called in upon the
occasion, said that upon examining the body of the
deceased he found a number of severe bruises upon the
face and other parts of the body. The immediate cause
of death was concussion of the brain, which appeared to
have resulted from a blow upon the forehead.
The Recorder asked the surgeon whether he was able
to express an opinion as to the injuries that appeared
upon the body of the deceased having been occasioned by
blows or falls.

that his wife was in the habit of taking his money while

on the night the fatal affair happened, she came home
very drunk. Re denied having struck her, and declared
that she '
received the injuries by falling down the stair-
case, owing to her drunken condition.
The Recorder, on his summing up, told the jury that
in this case there were two difficulties which must be got
over before the prisoner could be convicted upon the
charge of manslaughter. In the first place, it appeared
to be very doubtful whether the injuries which caused
the death of the deceased might not have been caused by
herself, by fulling about while drunk, and even suppos-
ing they were the result of blows, there was no evidence
whatever to show that the prisoner had inflicted a single
blow upon the deceased.
The jury at once returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
HOUSENREAKING.
William Rex was indicted for feloniously breaking
slid entering the dwelling-house of Mary Lamb, and
stealing five coats and other articles, her property.
The prosecutrix was a widow, and resided in a cot-
tage at Twickenham. In the evening of Sunday, the
17 th inst., she went out, leaving no one in charge of her
cottage, and upon her returning shortly. afterwards,
she was very much astonished at seeing alight in her
bedroom. She gave an alarm to her neighbours, and
some of them stationed themselves at the front door,
and others at the back, and in a short time an attempt
was made by some persons inside to open the front door.
The people on the outside held the door fast, and an
endeavour was made to force it open with a poker from
the inside, and finding they could not succeed in doing
so, there was a cry of " - your eyes, shoot, fire !"
This had the effect of intimidating the persons on the
outside, and they retreated a short distance, and two
men, one of whom was the prisoner, then rushed out of
the house. A man named M'Cree laid bold of the pri-
soner, who immediately struck him on the arm with a
orow-bar, and ho succeeded in getting away a short
distance, when he was secured, but his companion sue-
ceeded in effecting his escape. Upon going into the.
cottage the bedroom of the prosecutrix was found in
a state of great disorder, all her drawers having been
ransacked, and the contests strewed about, and several
skeleton keys were p poked up in different parts of the
premises.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sen-
tenced to be transported for ten years.

It is the custom. The banns were proclaimed when I
was married. My sister's was a regular marriage. I
know the Rev. Mr. Reed to be a minister. I attend his
church.
The clerk to the magistrates of Edgeware produced a
copy of the record of the marriage of the prisoner with
the second wile.
Mr. Parry asked him where he got it from.
The witness said he obtained it from the sessions
clerk.
Mr. Parry objected to the admission of the document,
contending that it could not be admitted as evidence
unless accompanied by a proper certificate of its being
legal, and iu conformity with the Scottish statutes.
The Common, Serjeant said that ho could not admit
such a document as evidence of the marriage.
The constable who took the prisoner said that when
he told bins what he was charged with, prisoner an-
swered, " I fully expected it.
