reality only in the case of private individuals ; and
that it reserves to itself a complete monoply in the
final application of the rope, the musket, and the
,uillotine ! No wonder that under such systems
murders abound in the world.

The French Journals of Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday bare all leached us. Thursday's papers
would have come to hand on Saturday morning but
far the stormy state of the weather in the channel,
which, during the greater part of last week, delayed
for nearly twenty-four hours the regular mails be-
tween the English and French capitals. Friday
being " All Saints' Day," but few of the journals
were published, and they contain no political news
of interest. Among the more stirring intelligence
brought by the Paris papers, we find accounts
of the discovery of another gun-powder plot ; of a
Corn-riot at Dol, in Brittany ;of the execution of
PEYTEL for the murder of his wife and servant ; of
the state of the French army in Africa ; and of the
warlike preparations of Russia, which will be found
under their respective heads in another part of The
Sun.

Everything was ready at Algiers for the return
of the Duke of ORLEANS from Africa. He was
expected to sail from that city for France on the
28th or 29th ult.

The Presse says that the French Government
has resolved to send a Consul to New Zealand, but
cannot decide to whom to accredit him. Some
members of the Cabinet are for sending him to the
Court of Count THIERRY, who is known as King
by the title of CHARLES I. ; while others are for
recognizing the sovereignty of the confederation of
chiefs at the head of whom is the celebrated POMARE.
The grave deliberations of the Council upon this
subject would form an admirable subject for a
humourous sketch in the Charivari.

The reported intentional retirement of the Mi-
nister of War and the President of the Council is
ridiculed by the Courrier Francais, who assures us
that whatever others may think of SOULT'S abili-
ties, he entertains himself the complacent conviction
that he is quite equal to the duties of a President
of the Council and Foreign Minister. We never
had the least doubt of this ; and believe with our
Gallic Contemporary that he will hold office as long
as ever he can. His colleagues are not more re-
markable for a modest appreciation of their respec-
tive talents and pretensions than is the Marshal
himself, so that he runs no risk of being deserted.
Love marriages even among Princes are happily
not altogether out of date, as is very satisfactorily
proved by the following extract of a letter from
Frankfort, of the 27th ult., published by the Cour-
rier Francais :

" We learn from an undoubted source that the young
Count Neipperg, son by the first wife of the late Count,
who was formerly Governor of Parma and Placentia,
and afterwards married the widow of the Emperor Na-
poleon, is affianced to the Princess Mary, daughter of
the King of Wurtemberg and the Grand Duchess Ca-
tharine of Russia, his wife, sister of the Emperor Ni-
cholas. The young Princess was so deeply enamoured
of the handsome young hussar officer, that her health
suffered severely from the opposition made to her union
with a personage below her own rank. The King, her
father, who loves his children with the most tender af-
fection, soon yielded his consent ; but that of the Em-
peror Nicholas was not obtained without great difficulty,
and was at last granted only at the entreaty of the Arch-
duchess Maria Louisa. The Count will be raised by
the Emperor of Austria to the rank of Prince, and,
after his marriage, will reside at Louisburg, near Stutt-
gard. The Princess will have a dower of 60,000 florins
a year, coming chiefly from the property of her mother."
THE HAGUE, Nov. I.—We learn (says the Han-
delsblad) that according to arrangements made with
the German Diet, the part of Limberg that remains to
the Netherlands will be subject to the legal jurisdiction
of our Government. The Minister of Finance will
make to-day in the Second Chamber, a communication
respecting the negotiations that have taken place with
the German Diet.

VIENNA, OCT. 2.s.—The Archduke Charles, accom-
panied by his sons, has returned from his estates in
Moravia. Their Imperial Highnesses went and re-
turned by the iron railroad. It is generally believed
that Don Carlos will soon arrive at Salzburg, and will
fix his abode in that city. Prince Metternich is ex-
pected at the end of the month. Count Figuetant is
ill and keeps his bed. We learn from Parma that her
Majesty the Duchess Maria Louisa, is seriously ill.
The Imperial Court will return to Vienna from Schon-
brunn on 29th of this month.

Lord Brougham has arrived in town in excellent
health and spirits. At several of the railway stations
on his way from the North, he was recognised by the
bystanders, and welcomed with enthusiastic cheers.
COAL INioNoroLY—A correspondent who expresses
great approbation of the Lord Mayor's conduct, in his
war against the coal monopolists, states that he has
reason to be.lieve a considerable sum raised by penny
subscriptions fora niece of plate to his Lordship remains
on hand, and suggests" that it should be paid over to
the Committee, about to be Appoitited in the City, to
confer some testimonial on the Lord Mayor for his ge-
neral good conduct in office.

THIODON'S THEATRE OF ARTS.—A para
graph having appeared in several newspapers extracted
from the Gateshead Observer, informing the public that
Mr. Thiodon had disposed of his ingenious Exhibition,
we are called on positively to contradict the statement.
Mr. T. is at present in this neighbourhood, and will
leave in a few days for Ireland, where he will open his
Mechanical and Picturesque Theatre qf Arts, imme-
diately on landing. We believe Mr. T. feels disposed to
treat with any party who may have a desire to pur-
chase the Exhibition, and we think it would be a good
speculation.—Devonport Ina'ependfnt.
ERRATUAL—In our Saturday's r.:port of a trim
in the Queen's Bench, " the Queen v. Watts," wk have
given Mr. Watts's name as "Alaric Attila," whereas it
should be " Alaric Alexander."
By a decree dated in June, 1834, the payment
of duties on imports into New Granada was regulated
according to following scale of time and amount :
When they amout to 30 dollars, the payment was to
take place in three days from the date of verification ;
from 50 to 500 dollars in amount, in 30 days ; from
500 to 1,000 dollars, in 30 days ; from 1,000 to 2,000
dollars, the one half in 50, the other in 100, days ; from
2,000 to 4,000 dollars, half in 75, the rest in 150 days ;
for 4,000 dollars and above, one-third each in 75, 150,
and 225 days. By a decree of Congress of the 12th May
in the present year, sanctioned by the executive power,
these terms have been thus modified :—For amounts
of duty which do not exceed 16 dollars, the payment
must be made in three days ; six months for the first '
half of the sums which shall exceed 16 dollars, and six
months more for the other half. It will be seen that
these modifications are all to the advantage of the
importer by their simplicity, which leaves him more
free from Custom-house complications in his transac-
tions with purchasers. By another and anterior decree
the shipping, as well as the natural products and manu-
factures of Spain under its flag, are to be subject to no
other duties in the ports of New Granada than such as
are payable if under the flag of the republic itself.
PLACARD CARRYING.—The police have given
notice that on and after the Ist of January next the
clause in the act prohibiting the carrying placard-boards
about the streets will be rigidly enforced.
SUICIDE IN THE GILTSPUR-STREET COMP-
TER.—On Saturday a person of respectable appearance
went to the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, and

CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.)

STURGIS V. CHAMPUYES.

The LORD CHANCELLOR stated that it was his in-
tention in the course of the present week, to state his
reasons for the judgment he had sent to the parties in
this case during the long vacation, reversing the decision
of his Honour the Vice• Chancellor.

MUNDY V. JOLLIFFE.

His LORDSHIP said he would give his reasons for his
judgment in this case to-morrow.

IN THE MATTER OF GARNER, A BANKRUPT.
. . .

The aguments on this bankrupt's petition which were
commenced before the long vacation, were concluded
to-day.
The LORD CHANCELLOR at the conclusion of the
arguments, stated that he would dispose of it on
Wednesday.

men at the Bar, against the application made on Satur-
day by Mr. Sergeant Wilde [which it will be recollected
was that the ancient practice should be revived, of
hearing Sergeants only in this Court].
Chief Justice TYND kL—Had you not better wait for
our decision ? We cannot take the suggestion of any
individual member of the Bar.

Mr. MILLER—My Lords, I should wish to offer a
few remarks, if your Lordship will not give an oppor-
tunity of hearing some more influential member of the
Bar.

Chief Justice TYNDAL—You are quite premature,
before we have given any answer, even a preliminary
one, to the application of the Sergeants, were we to
listen to any member of the bar, who may choose to rise,
we may have to listen to the whole bar, seriatim.—
(Laughter.) If you require the assistance of the bar,
we will call for it.

Mr. MILLER—I hope your Lordships will not pre-
clude me, as a humble member of the bar, from speak
ing in defence of my rights, which I conceive to be en-
dangered.

Chief Justice TYNDAL—If we wish your observations
we will call upon you.

Mr. ISIILLER sat down.

EXCHEQUER COURT.

(THIS DAY.)

The Court was occupied the whole of the morning
with cases in the Peremptory paper. The points ar-
gued were wholly of a technical nature and of no public
interest.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SATURDAY.—We
have had a fair demand for Cotton to-day, and yester-
day's prices have been obtained ; the sales 3,000 bags.

Arrivals this morning : Lisbon mail by the Braganza,
sailed from Gibraltar, October 24 ; Cadiz, October 25 ;
Malta, October 14 ; Lisbon, October 28 ; Oporto,
October 29 ; three French mails and two Ostend.

The private intelligence by the Lisbon mail this morn-
ing, is not of much importance, with the exception that
the Portuguese bondholders have no chance at present
of being paid their dividends. It is expected that the
next Session of the Cortes promises to be one of great
interest when the question of the foreign debt will then
be set at rest, and convince the bondholders of the
hopelessness of their case. It was stated at Lisbon,
that the Government was about to send a circular
round to all the Foreign Ministers there, on the subject
of the dispute with England respecting the, Slave trade.
From the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's date :
" To-day a communication will be made to the Second
Chamber by the Minister of Finances relative to the
negotiations which took place with the Germanic Diet.
The day before yesterday the section of the Second
Chambers of the States' General assembled, and yester-
day they commenced to examine the project of the
, financial law.

" According to the report on the situation of the Colo-
nies of the Society of' Bieqfilisance during the last
month, the state of health was favourable, and the
crops were good ; to September the population of these
colonies amounted to 8,511 persons, and the prece-
ding month there were admitted 2.56 persons."
We read in the correspondence of the Handelsblad,
from Brussels, that there has been made on the part
of Austria strong representations to our Cabinet on
the non-execution of the article 13 of the treaty of the
19th of April, 1839, that the sum required from Hol-
land amounted to eight millions, a sum which is sup-
posed by the Commission of Utrecht to be exaggerated,
as it has nevertheless been discovered that an acknow-
ledged debt could not be liquidated with one that was
acknowledged ; we believe the Belgian Government will
even pay the arrears due from the Ist January, 1838.
