SWITZERLAND.

The Swiss journals state that the gendarme on duty
at the Grand Saconnex refused M. EUGENE SUE ad-
mission to the territory of Geneva, because his pass-
port was not duly vtsid by the Swiss Embassy at Paris.
M. SuE stated who he was, that he was exiled from
France, and insisted on being allowed to pass through
Geneve. But the gendarme persisted in refusing. At
length M. E. SUE sent off an express to M. JAMES
FAZY, stating the difficulty that had occurred, and
requesting his interference. In about three hours a
messenger arrived with an order of admission from
M. FAzY But the inflexible gendarme refused to obey
it. N.E. FAZY, he said, was not chief of the department
of justice and police, neither was he his captain, and it
was only those two functionaries who could give him
messenger had consequently to be
orders. Another
sent to Geneve,
and he returned with the authorisa-
tion of M. GIRARD, chief of the police, for M. Eu-
Pass through the canton. GENE SUE to
London, England, 1852-01-29

to November, 1851, show the following items:—Credi-
tors, 3,083/.; debtors, good, 137/.; doubtful, 172/.; pro-
perty surrendered, 90/.
Mr. LEWIS (who supported the bankrupt) wished to
make a few observations in answer to the report of the
official assignee. In 1845 the bankrupt had been be-
fore the Court, when he immediately passed his exami-
nation, and the parties, who were creditors to the
amount of 5,000/., were so satisfied with his conduct that
they trusted him again. For the last eighteen months
the bankrupt had not got into debt at all; when he
found himself unable to go on, he did not then seek to
obtain credit. There was no creditor who sought to
charge any fraud against the bankrupt; there was no
opposition, either by the assignees or creditors. The COMMISSIONER—What was the dividend under
the former bankruptcy ?
Mr. LEWIS—The dividend was about Is,. 9,1, in
the pound. The bankrupt received an immediate cer-
tificate.
The solicitor to the assignees offered no opposition.

His HoNoua said there had been a previOits failure,
and under the former bankruptcy there was less than 2s,
in the pound paid upon debts to the amount of 5,0001.
The bankrupt had again failed, having creditors to the
amount of 3,0001., and it was very doubtful whether
there would be 300/. to distribute among them, after de-
ducting costs. The trade and personal expenses had ex-
ceeded the profits by about 1,6001. It was said that ho
had paid off old debts, but he ought not to have done
that till he had satisfied all his existing creditors. He
(the Commissioner) stated it as a warning to other
bankrupts, not to pay old creditors at the expense of new
onos. It was a principle of common honesty not to rob
one man to pay another. The accounts were not satis-
factory, but they were not very bad; they were not so
good as they ought to be, but they were better than the
average of persons in the same position as the bankrupt.
There was a point very much in the bankrupt's favour,
that for the last 18 months of his trading he did not
incur new debts, and that would make a difference whe-
ther he should grant a second or third class certificate,
and he should give him the benefit by granting a certifi•
cate of the second class, atter three months' suspension.
Protection was granted.
IN RE JOHN CLARKE SANDFORD.

The bankrupt was a stationer and bookseller of Pater-
noster-row; his accounts, extending over two years,
show debts, 1,4221.; assets, about 1301. This was the
certificate meeting.
Mr. Linklater supported the bankrupt. Mr. Innes ap-
peared for the assigness, and did not oppose.
Mr. LINKLLTER said there was no creditor complain-
ing, and he trusted his Honour would grant a certificate
of the second class.

His HoNoun granted a second class certificate, after
three months' suspension.
Protection was granted.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN WARWICK-LANE.—At a
late hour last night an extensive destruction of property by
fire happened on the premises of Messrs. Kay and Whiting,
bookbinders, Oxford Arms-passage, which communicated
to the Oxford Arms public-house. The brigade and West
o f England engines soon reached the spot ; previously
to their arrival, however, those from Farringdon-street had
been brought into play, but unfortunately without much
effect, and the fire spread with great rapidity. A good
supply of water was obtained, and every exertion was used
to save Messrs. Kay and Co.'s property, but in two hours'
time everything was destroyed. With the utmost difficulty
the firemen saved the greater portion of the Oxford Arms
Tavern, still the loss and damage there was considerable in
amount. Among the property destroyed is a portion of that
belonging to the Religious Tract Society. No lives were
lost. The origin of the fire is unknown.

Lord CAMPBELL delivered the judgment of the Court
in this case, which turned upon the construction of the

the whole of the burial fees produced by the church'
yard, but the churwardens contended that he was colt
entitled to receive 100/. out of them, and the surplus 11
any beyond that sum, went to the common fund of the
parish. The Court were of opinion that the churwardeni
were right, and, therefore, they gave judgment accord
ingly.—Rule discharged.

Mr. NORTON remarked that he had read the trial on
the prosecution of Mr. Bishop et the Old Bailey uu a
charge of perjury in ob.ainieg declarations on some guns
pewned by him, and ho believed him to bo innocent of
the charge imputed, and this cireuelstance and his be-
huring with great kindness and magnanimity in a case
in which he was before him (Mr. Norton) as a com-
pleinant, though he had been grossly treated, gave
him a favourable opinion of his character, and he W,92,
therefore, anxious to see him that he might endeavour
to bring about a reconciliation between him (the rev.
gentleman) and his mother and sisters, who were, he
understood, highly respectable, and naturally much in-
censed at his irregular mode of living.
Mr. Bishop replied, that ho should feel most grateful
for his Worship's kindness, and said that, as it bad not
been the wish of his mother and friends to see him, he
did not wish to intrude on them. As regarded the pro-
secution to which his Worship had adverted, it occurred
entirely through his not consenting to a friend of the
prosecutor being his assignee to hie insolvency; and
even the prosecutor's counsel admitted he had been
hardly dealt with. In reply to the questions of the
magistrate, the reverend gentleman admitted that he had
slept at the house of Mrs. Geohegin, and supported the
young woman who had so improperly assumed hie
name, and who, he said, he had first met with at Gny'e
Hospital.

Mr. NORTON thought that, while his property Was in
abeyance, the reverend gentleman should look out for
something to d ) that would support him. Upon which
he replied that a college life had ill fitted him for busi-
ness; and his irregularities had been such, that he could
not think of looking fir a curacy.
In conclusion, Mr. Bishop promised to be in attendance
on the day on which the inquiry is adjourned to, and
thus the matter stands.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
DIRECT EAST AND WEST JUNCTION.

Yesterday a meeting in this matter was held before
Master in Chancery Ferrer.
Mr. Speed appeared for Mr. Jeremiah Clarke, of
Macclesfield, one of the managing committee, and
contended that his client ought not to be placed on
the list, which would have the effect of making hit"
liable to pay debts, inasmuch as the committee of
management held a deed of covenant from two of the
parties who had brought in claims against the estate,
and by which the committee were held harmless from
liability, and that the parties ought to look fur pay-
ment to the funds of the company only.

been heard on the other side, for Mr. Jay, the official

DEATH OF GEORGE TROUT, THE
WESTMINSTER DWARF.

Every one who has had to visit the houses of parlia-
ment, or the law courts at Westminster-hall, must have
occasionally seen a diminutive creature waddling"
about the vicinity of those places; this was George
Trout, familiarly called the " Dwarf." He was not a
yard high, with extremely short arms and legs, but had
a most enormous and unnatural-looking head. His sin-
gular appearance soon attracted the attention of many
Members of the Houses of Lords and Commons, and he
was often sent by them with notes to different parts of
the town, upon which occasions he was extremely im-
portant in his little way, for, if he met any one who
asked him to take some slight refreshment, his answer
was, " Don't stop me; I am going with dispatches for
Lord—" and old George went his way, always being
faithful to his trust. He was a great favourite of the
late Sir T. Tyrwhitt, Usher of the Black Rod, who pre-
sented him with several suits of clothes, so that he
might appear respectable in the lobby of the house; but
Trout invariably disposed of them, because he obtained
more money in a shabby dress at the doors; and, at
last, he was forbidden access to the lobby. George,
when he had delivered " his dispatches," and been paid
for their transit, usually had a drop, and when he went
into a house he put the money with some difficulty on
the bar; the servant had to look over, and then she
handed him his glass, for he could not reach it. A
curious story is told of this eccentric individual and of
the late Mr. Anthony White, the eminent surgeon, who
was not much less singular in his ways than old Trout,
George, as the story tells, was an out-patient of the
Westminster Hospital, where Mr. White was at the
time the principal surgeon. One day he said to the
dwarf, in a joking manner, that he would not mind
giving 101. for his body when he was dead. George
said he should have it; but little man as Trout was, he
had a shrewd mind, and fancied that he should get
nothing of the 101. when he was dead, so he used to call
on Mr. White when in little difficulties, and obtain from
that generous man ss. or 10s. for parts of his body in
advance. He soon obtained the 101. in this way; but
Mr. White died before George. At 76 years of age,
infirmity and poverty came, and he went to St. Mar-
garet's workhouse. Mr. Levies, of 5, Great George-
street, who is the visiting surgeon, directly ordered him
to the infirmary ward, where he had the kindest treat-
ment, but he died a few days ago from decay of nature.

EASTERN ARCHIPELAGO.

In reply to Sir WILLIA,M. COLERROOKE,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
was intended to renew the Siam Commission whenever
circumstances should ariso that would hold out a
prospect of its being successful. Circumstances had
transpired of late which induced a hope that the Com-
mission might be appointed much more speedily than
was originally anticipated.—(Hear, hear.)
THE NEWSPAPER STAMP.

Mr. SCHOLEFIELD wished to know if her Majesty's
present Government intended to adhere to the decis►on
which had been come to by the Court of Exchequer in
the case of the Household Narrative of Current Events ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
had referred the case to the Crown officers, who had
found it necessary to confer with the Crown officers of
the late Government on the subject, and when the re-
sult of this conference was made known to him he should
be in a position to give a satisfactory answer to this
question.—(Hear, hear.)
MILITIA BILL.
Mr. WALPOLE gave notice that this day week, in
pursuance of the resolution cf the 28th February last,
lie should move for leave to bring in a Bill to
amend and consolidate the Militia laws.—(Hear.)

MORE MINISTERIAL EXPLANATIONS.
Oa the motion that the Speaker do leave the chair for
going into a Committee of Supply,
Lord J. RUSSELL rose and said he wished to make
a few remarks upon the altered state of things which
bad takkn place since last Monday, when it would be re-
'membered he endeavoured to obtain some explanation
with respect to the position of the Government and the
Policy which they intends d to pursue in the present session.
The House was then told that the Government did not

commercial p,l°
Ministers intended to bring forward measures of copal-
derable importance, which were likely to prolong the
session to the usual period.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.")
Now it struck him and many other Members of the
House that this would be a moat unusual and uncon-
stitutional course; for while the Government ap-
pealed for forbearance to withdraw for a time
from one class of, measures on account
their b.4g in s minority, they also

paverished 'psopli a new tax? He thought ttrGotern-
ment ought to declare wliat their float determination
was before they introduced a measure„like the present.
He did not think these advances were ever rind() by way
of loan, or that they could be"considered as such. The
money was given at, a time of great distress, and the
people had no control over its expenditure; and he hopel
the Government would pause before it attempted to pro-
ceed with such a treasure.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
Bill was one for remitting, not imposing taxatioo. In
1844 we had to borrow 8,000,000/. for the relief of Ire-
land, of which 4,500,000/. had been absolutely granted,
and only 3,500,000/. were to be repaid at periodasitread-
ing over 40 years. 'hie' present Bill -was for remitting
certain instalments of repayment for which the people et
Ireland were liablo. Sue:a was tho:melspre which was
represented es a hardship upon, Irftincl.—(llear.)

EVENING, MARCH

1846, and the population were being driven to despair
and to expatriation. Was it fair or reasonable, under
such circumstances, to impose on that wretched and im-
poverished people a new tax? He thought the Govern-
ment ought to declare what their final determination
was before they introduced a measure like the present.
He did not think these advances were ever made by way
of loan, or that they could be considered as such. The
money was given at a time of great distress, and the
people had no control over its expenditure; and he hoped
the Government would pause before it attempted to pro-
ceed with such a measure.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
Bill was one for remitting, not imposing taxation. In
1844 we had to borrow 8„000,000/, for the relief of Ire-
land, of which 4,500,000/. had been absolutely granted,
and only 3,500,0001. were to be repaid at periods spread-
ing over 40 years. The present Bill was for remitting
certain instalments of repayment for which the people of
Ireland wer, liable. Such was the inquire which was
represented as a hardship upon Ireland.—(Hear.)

whether it was the intention of Government to introduce

any asure this session for abolishing the tax of minis-
ters' money in Ireland?
Mr. WALPOLE said the Government did not pro-
pose to bring in any such measure this session,
but they thought the question ought to be settled es
speedily as possible, and therefore proposed to introduce

a Bill On the subject next session.
Mr. FOX MAULE said a similar tax prevailed in
Scotland, only it was called the Annuity-tax. A com-
mittee which had sat upon the subject of the Annuity-
tax had made a report to the House, and he should be
glad to know if Government had intended to adopt the
recommendations which that report contained.—(Hear.)
Mr. WALPOLE said the Right Hon. Gentleman was
imposing no easy task upon him in requesting him
to superintend the settlement of this question.—(Hear,
hear.) He would, however, be frank with the Right
Hon. Gentleman, and at once admit that the question

ought to be settled ; and though he was not prepared to
say that Government would adopt the recommendations
of the Committee, yet he would look into the matter and
sac if a settlement could take place.—(Hear, hear.)
EAST INDIA COMPANY.

Mr. C. ANSTEY wished to ask the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman the Secretary for the Board of Control when he
proposed to move for a Committee of Inquiry into the
East India Company's Charter Act?—(Hear.)
Mr. HERRIES said, as the business of supply had

made more rapid progress than was originally
antici-
pated, he thought he could now fix Monday for his mo-
tion, but it would depend upon how they got on with the
Militia Bill whether ho brought it forward then or not.

Mr. BRIGHT hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would
be prepared to foreshadow the views of the Government
on this important subject when he did bring it on.
Mr. HERRIES replied that ho should.—(Hear, hear.)
