BELGIUM.

The Liberte of Lille publishes the following letter,
which has just been addressed by the linen-merchants
of that place to the Chamber of Commerce
Monsieur le President,—The interruption of our
relations with Belgium, in consequence of the augmen-
tation of duties on the linens coming from that country,
occasions us a marked injr.ry by depriving us of certain
kinds of linenindispensable for our assortment. The
linens of Th ielt and of Courtrai cprotectedan meet with no simi-
lar producein France. The duty which was levied on
Belgian
themselves allow, the French products. That is,
besides, demonstrated by the immense extension
which the weaving of linen-cloths had reached
in France under the empire of the treaty of
somade of thread spun by machinery,
linens,
fa ciently,
the French manufacturers
1845. A return to the conventions stipulated in that
treaty, at the same time that it would be advantageous
to us, would be useful to all: the linen-manufacturers
would behold without annoyance the continuance of it,
and the export-traders, whose relations with Belgium
are interrupted, ask for the cessation of a war of tariffs
which is prejudicial to it
i for the present, and compro-
mises for the future its interests, in a manner so much
the more grave, that the Zollverein and England will
offer to Belgium advantages of a nature to destroy our
commercial relations with that country. We, conse-
quently, Monsieur le President, solicit theintervention
of the Chamber of Commerce with the Government to
obtain the continuance of the treaty of 1845, at least
until definitive conventions have fixed the commercial
interests of the two countries."
A few days since a man called on Dr. LECLERCQ,
residing at Hal, near Brussels, on the pretence of
getting his advice, and taking a pistol from his pocket
fired it at the doctor's bead and killed him on the spot.
The assassin was immediately arrested. The motive
for this murder is not stated.

The Giornale di Roma announces the arrival at
Rome of Sir H. BIILWER On the 4th inst.
A latter from Rome of the 30th ult., in the Augs-
burg Gazette, mentions a disturbance which took
place a few days before at Rocca Santo Stefano, about
seven leagues from Rome. The inhabitants, led on
by four young men called FAMCCIIIA, VITTOZZI,
SAN'', and DAMIAN!, had a regular fight with the
Papal revenue officers, who were forced to fly before
the showers of stones with which they were assailed.
They returned, however, on the following day with
a reinforcement of soldiers, • upon which the ring-
leaders and some of their adherents escaped to the
mountains.

EARTHQUAKE AT BOURDEAUX.
The Courrier de la Gironde, of the 26tb, states
that a shock of earthquake was felt at Bordeaux, at a
quarter past two in the morning of that day. It
lasted from seven to eight seconds. Persons who
were in bed fancied that some heavily laden waggons
were going along the streets, or that a heavy piece of
furniture was being pulled about over their heads.
The shock was preceded by a kind of detonation ; two
distinct oscillations were felt at about three seconds
interval ; the direction appeared to be from south
to north. The degree of violence of the shock
varied in the different quarters of the city; it
was more felt in the high houses. On the side
of the Quinconces it was felt very severely ;
the pictures hanging on the walls were agitated ;
light articles of furniture were thrown down ; and
windows were broken. In some of the Churches the
painted glass windows flew in pieces ; the Church of
Saint Pierre and the Cathedral suffered most severely
in this way. Persons who happened to be in the
streets at the time were seized with the greatest
alarm ; they suddenly felt the ground tremble under
their feet. The sky at the time was of a dark red-
dish colour, as if from the effect of a tremendous fire
at a distance. In the country the cattle in the fields
partook of the general alarm and uttered moans and
cries. From accounts received at Bordeaux, from
other parts of the Gironde, it appears that the shock
was general throughout the whole department. At
Libourne, the people were awoke by a violent shock ;
at La Sluve, the shock was very severe, and several
houses were damaged ; at Gradignan, the same phe-
nomenon was felt; everything appeared to be dancing
about in the houses.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 28.
(Sittings in Badeo.)
SPECIAL PAPER.-MILLER V. SALOMONS.

Sir F. KELLY resumed his argument in this case at
the sitting of the Court. The second proposition, ho
said, which he had to submit to their Lordships was,
that under the Act of 6 George 111., cap. 53, upon
which this action was founded, the oath of abjuration
might be taken by a Jew with the omission of the words
"on the true faith of a Christian." This depended,
however, upon whether the provisions of the 10th
George I. continued and remained in force at the time
the Act of 6th Georgh HI. was passed. The Learned
Sergeant (Channel!) seemed to suppose that the Act 10th
George 1., cap. 4, had expired; but he (Sir F. Kelly)
would be able to show, that by a series of Acts to the
6th George 111., which imposed the oath now required
to be taken, the Act of 10th George I. had been kept in
force. The 6th George 111. enacted, that from and after
the 4th of June, 1766, the oath of abjuration prescribed
in the 10th George I. should be taken and subscribed
within a limited time, but with benefit of the same
savings, provisoes, and indemnities contained in any
Acts than subsisting. The question was then, whether
the Act 10th George 1., which allowed the omission from
the oath of abjuration when it was taken by a Jew of
the words "on the true faith of a Christian," hal
ceased and expired, or whether it had been continued,
and was in force at the time of passing the 6th of George
111., c. 53. ['The Lord Chief Baron here inquired fur
a printed copy of the Act 10th George 1., c. 4, which
bad been referred to on Monday, and being informed by
Sir F. Kelly that no copies could be obtained at the
Queen's printer's, although there was a copy in the
library of the Inner Temple, his Lordship observed that
he thought it would be well if some Member of the Le-
gislature would suggest that, along with the numerous
blue-books and papers published during every session of
Parliament, some 9f the old public statutes should oc-
casionally be reprinted, for such statutes ought to be
accessible to all her Majesty's subjects.] The oath of
abjuration (Sir F. Kelly continued), which, in its pre-
sent form, wasintroduced by the Ist of George 1., c. 13,
was repeated in the 9th of George 1., c. 24, which ex-
tended the time allowed for taking the oath. A further
extension was afforded by the 10th of George 1., c. 4,
the 17th section of which allowed the oath of abjuration
to be taken by Jews, with the omission of the words
"on the true faith of a Christian." Now it had been
contended by his Learned Friend Mr. Bethel!, in the
House of Commons, that this clause—
The CHIEF BARON—I doubt the propriety of any re-
ference to the opinion of any living barrister, however
eminent, delivered no matter where—whether in the
House of Commons or in a parish vestry. It amounts
merely to this, that a gentleman of dessrved eminence,
and of great reputation in the profession, has somewhere
or other said so and so. We aro perfectly aware of Mr.
Bethell's opinion.

other ships of war, mounting 20 guns. The second
is formed of the Balearic Islands, and commanded by
Captain Federico Santiago, who disposes of the
mar Piles, of 150-horse power, four sailing vessels,
curying seven guns, and several gun-boats. The
third extends along the coast of Castellon, Valencia,
a-nr Alicant, and is commanded by Captain Jose
J =lanes, who has under his orders the steamer
Alerts, of 120-horse power, and seven other vessels,
-'sting 20 pieces of artillery. The fourth comprises
,oast of Murcia and Almeria, and the naval force,
u r the direction of Captain Francisco Garcia
consists of the steamer Santa Isabel, of 192-
, power, and eight other vessels, carrying 16
waas. The fifth is formed of the coast of Grenada,
Malaga, and Algesiras, and also commanded by
Captain Francisco Garcia Quesada, who disposes of
the steamer Vigilante, of 120-horse power, and eight
oi.her vessels carrying 18 guns. The 6th com-
prba the coast of Cadiz, Huelva, and the Canary
Wanda, and is commanded by Captain Francisco
Graadallana, who has under his orders the steamer
Vulcano, of 200-horse power, and eight other vessels,
carrying 24 guns. The seventh, finally, includes the
coast of Gallicia and Biscay, and is commanded by
Captain Nicholas Chicharro, who has at his disposal
nine sailing vessels, mounting 36 guns. Those seven
mariame circumscriptions embrace 75 commanders
and superior officers, 90 officers, 302 marines, 3,183
seaman, and 75 engineers—in all 3,623 men. The
garrison of Madrid is composed of 12,000 men.

communicatedto the Oxford Arms public-house. The brigade and West
o f England engines soon reached the spot ; previously
to their arrival, however, those from Farringdoa-street had
been brought into play, but unfortunately without much
effect, and the fire spread with great rapidiVy. A good
supply of water was obtained, and every exertio a 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 01:ford Arms
Tavern, still the loss and damage there was con: tiderable in
amount. Among the property destroyed is a por Lion of that
belonging to the Religious 'lract Society. No lives were
lost. The origin of the fire is unknown.

ceived that the law of England admitted every descrip-
tion and form of wer3s, and every description of acts
and ceremonies, which might be necessary, according
to the religious belief of the swearer. He contended
that the Acts of Parliament to which he had referred
were to be construed with reference to the mischief
which the Legislature intended to remedy, and he would
ask whether that mischief was anything but the hosti-
lity of the Homan Catholics and others who favoured
the claims of the Pretender to the throne of Eng-
land? If their Lordships held the words "on the true
faith of a Christian," to be part of the thing sworn to
in the oath, it must follow that the Legislature intended
that, besides swearing allegiance and abjuration, all
persons who took the oath should swear themselves to
be Christians. If that wore not the intention of the
Legislature, the words in question must bo mere words
of asseveration, by which the party taking the oath
pledged his conscience to the truth of his declaration.
The only remaining point on which he would address
the Court was that arising under the statute Ist and
2d Victoria, chap. 105, which was entitled "An Act to
remove Doubts as to the Validity of Certain Oaths," and
the first observation he would make on that statute was,
that it was declaratory of the law as it then stood.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—I take it that if the defendant
had been elected, and had taken his seat when the 9th
George I. was passed, he might have taken the oath
under the 10th George I. without the words "on the
true faith of a Christian.''
Sir F. KELLY—That would, no doubt, have been so,
but he would not further advert to the construction of
those statutes. The present object of his argument was
to show that under the Ist and 2i Victoria the de-
fendant was relieved from the necessity of taking the
oath with those words. That Act provided, that "In
all cases in which an oath might lawfully be adminis-
tered to any person in any court of law or equity, or on
appointment to any office, or on any occasion whatever,
such person was bound by the oath, provided the same
should have been administered in such form and with
such ceremonies as such person might declare to be
binding." The only construction which this Act could
fairly receive was that oaths ought to be now adminis-
tered only in such form as was binding on the parties
taking them, and that it was competent to all who were
required to take any oaths so to take them. This statute,
then, virtually repealed the Acts imposing any particular
form of oath, and that would entitle the defendant to the
judgment of this Court.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Is not this point which you
are now arguing the same in effect as that which you
have just concluded, Sir F. Kelly? The question is—
What is an oath? and whether certain words are part
of it?

HOLLAND.

The Dutch Government has nominated a com-
mission, charged to examine, at least once a year, all
the steam-engines employed in the country, both
those in steamers and in manufactories.
Intelligence has
just reached Amsterdam that M.
SCHCEFFLER,
a young Dutch Catholic missionary in
Cochmchine, has been put to death for preaching
Christianity. He was denounced by the Mandarins,
arrested, bound hand and foot, conveyed to the ca-
pital, Hue FO, and condemned to death by a sort of
judicial commission. He was hanged on a very
lofty gibbet. More than ten thousand troops at-
tended the execution, to prevent any hostile demon-
stration on the part of the numerous Christians of
Hue Fo.

RING V. LIQUORISH—IUDGMENT.
Lord CAMPBELL delivered the judgment of the Court
in this case, which turned upon the construction of the
2d of Geo. 11., chap. 51. Under the provisions of al
Act, the rector of the parish church of Stepney claimed
the whole of the burial fees produced by the church'
yard, but the churwaraeus contended that he was °lt,
entitled to receive 100/. out of them, and the surplus
any beyond that sum, went to the common fund of the
parish. The Court were of opinion that the churwardeos
were right, and, therefore, they gave judg
ingly.—Rule discharged. ment accord

Lord CAMPBELL intimated, that on the 10th of x
