SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.

HARBISoN V. PAIN—BREACH OF PROMISE.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
Amongst the witnesses examined was a professional
gentlemen, who proved that the plaintiff had suffered
severely, mentally and bodily, in consequence of the
abrupt termination of the detendanCs addresses.
PHINN addressed the jury in mitigation of da-
mages. Ha would not impu:e the slightest impropriety 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 feeling towards, the defendant of" with
all thy faults, I love thee still. The Learned Counsel
for the plaintiff has spoken
j to that point, and it was now
only a question for the ury t? assess the damages.
Both the plaintiff anddefenda-. wen equal circum-
stances as to respectability, but the defendant's circum-
stances had been much exaggerated.
The jury retired, and on their return into court gave
a verdict for 5001.

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tion has been withdrawn.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
could 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The Bill which has just been withdrawn would re-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has been withdrawn, at all events, for a year.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 point in consequence of pub-
lic opinion being so strongly in favour of economy
generally, but particularly with reference to the
army. The reduction of the army would no doubt
be taken as a stronger proof of pacific and moderate
intentions than all declarations, official or otherwise.
There are eight seats vacant at this moment at
the Council General of the Merbihan. Five members,
viz., MM. Beslay, de Gou.vello, Guyot, Lemintier de
Lebelee, and' Talmont have resigned rather than
take the oath required by the Constitution. Two
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 Boulevard,:and to obtain a better price,
she employed a M. and Mme. Begis to find out a
person to bid at the sale. This they undertook
to do, and, according to Mine. Sequi a declara-
tions, they at last purchased the property them•
selves, engaging to pay her an annuity of
3,000 f. for life. Mine. Saqui, 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 Male.
Begis had never entered into any positive engage-
ment relative to Mine. Saqui, though it was admitted
th,,t they had offered her 500 f. a year. The Court
condemned the defendants to pay Mine. Saqui 2,400 f.
a year tor 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 mon,bs back. Mme. Saqui, who was pre-
sent when the judgencnt in her favour was given, was
in such agitation as to render it necessary to remove
her inn) the open air.
The Dibats has a long notice on the different ac-
counts that have ken received from Australia, stud
concludes as follows :
The colony of Anat.:alio 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 mid,,i; of this grovving civilization; the colonist
sorrowfully contemplates his vast meadOws, where he no
longer sees the face of man, and his flunks abandoned
to wild dogs and to disease, He loudly cries for la-
bourers. Ile send', money to the mother country, in
order to receive men in exchange. .Agitation i 3 caused
by his appeal, and emigration to Australia becomes the
order of tne day. England is alarmed, not only on ac-
count el he: colony, bus 071 her own account, ter she
duds one of her plincipal branches of industry inconger.
The flocks of Australia furnish wool to the manufac-
turers of Eaglanid. Formerly, the English received their
supply of wool either from Spain or from Germany; for
the last 20 or 25 years they have been sup piled from
their own colony. in 1823, Australia only seat to Eng-
land 120,0001t0. of wool; last year the quantity was
43,000,0001'05. All the manufactories cf England are
therefore supplied from thence. there!or,, the fbcks

of the 15th, A letter, which the ex-Dictator
had just published, made known the points re-
specting which he claimed the evidence of his
Sovereign. He positively declarss that in
1848 he entreated the Grand Duke not to join
Charles AlbQrt in his war agaiilt Austria, be-
cause, if the King of piAmont was defeated, the
wrath of Austria would alight upon Tuscany, his
ally, and, if he conquered, there was little doubt
that he would profit of his victory to establish an
Italian kingdom, and sooner or llter absorb Tuscany.
