SHE'RIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.

FRANCE:
It appears certain that the Bill on public instruc-
tion has been withdrawn. The withdrawal is owing
to the strenuous opposition of M. de Montalembert
and his colleagues of the Commission, who rejected
the idea of again subjecting public education to the
State or making it what it was in the time of the
Emperor—a State monopoly. The measure of 1850
freed it from all real restrictions, and the pro-
position, supported so strongly by M. Fortoul—
who is said to have declared that, with the
system of government now prevailing, education
mid not, and ought not to be free—was to place it
once more under State authority. The law of 1850
allows any one that thinks proper, not excepting, of
course, the clergy, to open schools under certain con-
ditions, but frees them from the action of the State.
The Bill which has just been withdrawn would re-
store that action ; and in order to gain the support of
the clergy an exception was made in their favour.
The project, however, was sure to be defeated, and
has been withdrawn, at all events, for a year. Yet it
is not improbable that it will again he brought on.
The opinion seems to be in favour of the reduction
of the army ; that is, that the Government will be
obliged to yield on that paint in consequence of pub.
lie opinion being so strongly in favour of economy

armaa The reduction of the army would no doubt
he taken as a atrorger proof of pacific nod moderate
intentions than ell declarations, ufficial or otherwise.
There are eight seats vacant at this moment at
the Council General of the Merbihan. Five members,
viz., MM. Beslay, de Gonvel:o, Guyot, Lemin'ier de
Lehelec, and Tali-neat have resigned rather than
take the oath required by the Constitution. Tao
members, MM. Beauvais and Croiser, have been ex-
pelled from the five departments of Brittany. One
member, M. Beard du Duzeert, is dead.
A case was decided last week before the Civil
Tribunal of the Seine, in which the well-known Mme.
Saqui, the rope-dancer, was the plaintiff. It ap-
peared that in 1838, Mine. Saqui, in order to satisfy
her creditors, was obliged to sell the theatre which she
directed on the Boule.vs.rd,:and to obtain a better price,
she employed a M. and Muse. Begis to find out a
person to bid at the sale. This they undertook
to do, and, according to Mme. Saqui 's declara-
tions, they at last purchased the property them •
selves, engaging to pay her an annuity of
3,000 f. for life. Mme. Sacini, on her return lately
from Italy, made a final effort to obtain from them
the arrears of the annuity, and a guarantee of its
regular payment for the future. Not succeeding in
that attempt she brought the matter before the Court.
For the defence, it was declared that M. and Mme.
Begis had never entered into any positive engage-
ment relative to Mme. Saqui, though it was admitted
that they had offhred her 500 i. a year. The Court
condemned the defendants to pay Mine. Saqui 2,400 f.
a year for life, payable per month, and in advance;
and in addition, to give her the arrears from the pe-
riod when the present suit was commenced, that is,
about two months back. Mme. Saqui, who was pre-
sent when the judgment in her favour was given, was
in such agitation as to render it necessary to remove
her into the open air.
The Debella has a long notice on the different ac-
counts that have been received from Australia, and
concludes as follows :

" The colony of Australia is ruined, or on the point
of being so. In California the gold deranged nothing;
there was not there, as in Australia, agricultural pur-
suits to injure, and a social state of things to overturn;
there was not the accumulated fruit of a labour of fifty
years. This much coveted gold is fallen like a scourge
in the midst of tuffs growing civilizeticn; the colonist
sorrowfully contemplates his vast meadows, where he no
longer sees the face of man, and his flocks abandoned
to wild does and to disease. He loudly cries for la-
bourers. He sends money to the mother country, in
order to receive men in exchange. Agitation is caused
by his appeal, and emigration to Australia becomes the
order of the day. England is alarmed, not only on ac-
count of her colony, but on. her own account, for she
finds one of her principal branches of industry in danger.
The hocks of, Australia furnish wool to the manatee-
tureri of England. Formerly, the English received their
al:11)ply of wool either from Spain or from Germany; for
the last 20 or 25 years they have been supplied from
their own colony. In 1528, Australia only sent to Eng-
land 120 000 lbs. of wucl; last year the quantity was
43 00
• o,ooolbs. All the manufactories of England are
therefore supplied from thence. P, therefore, the flocks

The Roman police opposed by all means the in-
troduction of foreign journals into the Pontifical
dominions. The English papers were charged like
letters, and made to pay in proportion to their

The Russian Grand Dukes bad scattered money
with profusion among the people of Rome. The
Neapolitan Government was so afraid of their being
annoyed by the L'azzireni, that it gave orders to
arrest and imprison the latter (a very ungrateful act
on the part of BuinbA). The drivers of the coricolos
were directed. to wear their Sunday dresses during
the resvieuce of the Russian Princes, and the boys,
who stand behind these vehicles and act as servants,
were all ordered to put on shoes.

HARRISON V. PAIN—BREACH OF PROMISE.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
Amongst the witnesses examined was a professional
gentleman, who proved that the plaintiff had suffered
severely, mentally and bodily, in consequence of the
abrupt termination of the defendant's addresses.
Mr. PHINN addressed the jury in mitigation of da-
mages. He would not impute the slightest in:propriety to
the young lady, whose name had been put forth as the
plaintiff, and truly so, not by her own wish or desire,
but by her relatives, to vindicate, as they termed it, a
character which he (the Learned Counsel) believed to
be irreproachable. It was not the lady's wish to soothe
her anguish by gold, for it has been said that the lady
entertained the fceiing towards the defendant of" with
all thy faults, I love thee s:iil." The Learned Counsel
for the plaintiff has spoken to that point, and it was now
only a question for the jury to assess the damages.
Both the plaintiff and defendant were in equal circum-
stances as to respectability, but the defendant's circum-
stances had been much exaggerated.
The jury retired, and on their re:urn into court gave
a verdict tor 5001.
