b:," yet transpired concerning Colonel Camp-

lowing day, not having been able to see Mehmet Ali,
who had left two hours before he arrived.
On the arrival of the French packet, the Viceroy's
despatches from Constantinople were sent to him imnso-
diately. He was then at Cafre Lazar, and received
them •at midnight. Mehemet was very impatient for
the arrival of the courier, and got up to read his
despatches. He was much pleased with their contents,
and exclaimed " The Sultan and Sultana are both my
friends. Chosrew cannot long retain his post, for he
is universally hated."
" M. Tosizza, the Grecian Consul, who accompanied
Mehemet on this trip, arrived here yesterday. He left
his Highness on the Zjth at Cafre Lazar, just as he
was embarking for Cairo, in excellent liesith. Mehe-
met does not intend returning to Alexandria before
next spring.
" It is reported among the people that Ottoman
agents have arrived in Egypt to assassinate Mehemet.
In passing by Cafre Mawo (a village on the banks of
Nile) the Viceroy heard that some Arabs had spread
this report. He was so affected by it, that he ordered
two of them to be immediately decapitated. We hear
that the principal reason for Mehemet Ali's secret de-
parture
was the dread of the crews of the Ottoman
fleet, from whom he concealed his departure for Cairo.
" The Consuls were much disconcerted by this un-
foreseen circumstAnce, and are only waiting the next
packet to repair to the capital. The Austrian Consul
has assembled his countrymen to inform them that his
Government had acceded to the treaty of commerce
between England, Fiance, and Turkey for the abolition
of monopolies, and that the treaty would be put. into
execution forthwith.

" The English steamer has given up going to Bey-
rout ; despatches for ria are taken in a sailing vessel.
No news from Syria. Ibrahim is still at Marasch,
ready to advance at the first signal. The English and
French Consuls have each demanded a station for two
ships of war to protect the European colony at Alex-
andria."

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, TUESDAY.—We have
no change in our Cotton Market to-day. The sales,
2,500 bags to the trade.
It is expected that the Liverpool steamer from New
York will arrive in this port about the 3d November,
and it is anticipated that the Managers of the United
States Bank will have made every exertion to put their
agent, Mr. Jaudon, in possession of funds sufficient to
pay the bills at maturity, protested for non-acceptance,
sent out by the Liverpool steamer.
Yesterday was a blank day for intelligence, and this
morning is of the same stamp, not any arrival of conse-
quence, added to the dullness of the weather, which
has the effect to depress the various funds this morning,
and damp all speculations to the present hour.
It is stated that the Bank of France has ceased fer
the present to purchase gold. This is an important
event foe the Bank of England, who purchase con-
siderably of the precious article at the price of 775. 9d.
Upon the whole it may be stated that the Foreign
Exchanges were much the same as on Friday last, ra-
ther flat. At the end of the market Messrs. Roths-
child and Co. became sellers.

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)

Mary Clarke was charged with having improperly
annoyed a young man, named Richard Cooke.
The complainant said that he was in the habit of
frequenting Long-lane for his supper, and that the pri-
toner, and several other girls, constantly ill-used and
aoused him. Last night, about ten o'clock, he was
passing when the prisoner called him a d—d deceitful
Mr. PAYNE—What did she mean by " deceitful'?"
Cooke—l don't know. I was acquainted with her
about eight months ago, and then did not see her for
about twelve weeks, until she came to the warehouse
and said she had a child by me—(Loud laughter)—
and that it was dead, and she wanted money to bury
it. I had seen no child, and refused to give her money,
and ever since she has abused me.

Mr. Payne—Have you been intimate with her?
Cooke—l have been with her in houses, but she
walked the streets at that time.

The prisoner said that the complainant kept company
with other girls, and set them to abuse her.
Mr. Alderman LAINSON thought the character of the
complainant was not free from suspicion, and that he
prostituted himself as much as the girl did. He would
discharge her on promising not to give any annoyance
to the complainant in future.
Ann Turner, who was remanded two or three days
ago, on suspicion of stealing a shawl from the shop of
Mr. Watson, Holborn-hill, was committed for two
months.

lAIPORT AN T TRIAL.

MIIB. ANN PLUNKETT V. CHARLES HEATO'N-MRS. ANNE
PLUNKETT V. THE EARL OF BURLINGTON'.
These actions, to recover property in Low Furness,
in the possession of the
..Earl of Burlington, or of his
trustee, Charles Heaton, Esq., have been pending many
years ; and, after having been tossed about from Court
to Court, and experiencing all the glorious uncertainty
of the law, were agreed upon by all parties to be brought
to a conclusion before a Jury of the tenants of his
Grace the Duke of Buccicuch, of the manors of Plain
Furness and Dalton, on Tuesday week ; and the fact
being generally known, many visitor: arrived to be pre-
sent at a trial unprecedented in the town of Dalton. At
the hour of nine, John Cranke, Esq., steward of the
j manors, empanelled the Jury in the Castle, and imme-
diately adjourned to a large room in the Cavendish
1 Arms, where Mr. Wightman sat as the steward's
assessor, Mr. Watson appearing as Counsel for the Earl
of Burlington, and Mr. Martin for Mrs. Plunkett.
The room was densely crowded.
{ Mrs. Plunkett's pedigree was then gone into, and,
though met by many objections, she was at last clearly
proved to be the legal heir and descendant of Sir James
Lowther. The certificates of marriages, baptisms, and
deaths of a long line of noble ancestry were multi-
tudinous, and the reading of such, and of monumental
linscriptions, extracts from the Heralds' Office, &c., took
up a long time. Such were not strictly evidence, but
it was given out that the Earl's solicitor had admitted
such as facts upon being paid 100/. for such admission.
An objection was raised as to Mr. Curry's affidavit
concerning a former trial, and was eventually left to the
decision of the Learned Assessor.
Mr. Butler was then called to prove Mr C. urry's p.re-
Bence at such trial, but did not know anything relative
t to it ; nor could he remember Lord Frederick Caven-
dish, though he could remember the funeral of the elder
brother, Lord George.
Mrs. Clarke, the plaintiff's daughter, proved the de-
, Inise of her aunt, Mrs. Buchanan, childless.
Mr. Turner, of Dalton, aged seventy-three years,
who gave his evidence in the most clear and decided
manner, proved the visits of Lord Frederick to his
estates in Low Furness, and that his brothers were
accustomed to come and sport over the ground.
Mr. Watson then, on his Lordship's behalf, made
several objections. That Lord Frederick did never
receive the esplus from the estate—that he did not die
seised of such estate—that the present proceedings
were wrong, and that if there was any right, it was to
be recovered by a writ formedon in remainder.
These and some other objections were argued at
length by both the Learned Counsel, and the decision
left for the Assessor for consideration.
A verdict, by consent, was ultimately entered for the
plaintiff, subject to the opinion of Mr. Wightman on
the points raised during the trial.
Three more Juries were then empannelled, as a mat-
ter of form, the proceedings being exactly alike.
The Court rose at four o'clock.—Westmoreland

The Times makes a most mortifying confession
this morning for such an arrogant, would-be-infal-
lible journal. For six months, at least, scarcely a
day has passed on which it has not had a thunder-
ing article against the Government of Ireland. It
has never ceased to assail in that period Lord NOR-
MANBY, Lord MORPETH, Mi:DRUMNIOND, and

Nearly the whole of the French Journals of
Monday declaim against the suggestion of the
Journal des Debats, that the French Government
ought to grant passports to Don CARLOS with
permission to retire either to Austria or to Italy.
This looks well, as it manifests the earnestness
with which the majority of the Paris papers desire
to witness the tranquillization of the Peninsula.
" The least portion of good sense, and the most
common notions of politics," says the Constitu-
tionnel, "are sufficient to show the impropriety of
setting Don CARLOS at liberty. The late events
in Spain have weakened the passions which the
selfish apathy of our statesmen had encouraged;
but these passions would revive with more vigour
than ever, if, with a want of foresight, which we
cannot find words to describe, we were again to
renew the scourge of civil war. We believe
sincerely that there are no Ministers who would
take upon themselves so grave a responsi-
bility ; and, whatever may be the grief of
certain eminently monarchical minds at seeing a
family of Royal blood retained as prisoners on the
soil of France, no person, even in the present Ca-
binet, would dare to sacrifice to these considera-
tions, the repose and future prospects of a people
allied with us, and who are worthy of the liberty
which they have acquired." We rather hope than
actually believe that the Constitutionnel does not
understand the temerity of some Members of the
French Cabinet. The journal dc Paris, lately a
Ministerial organ, and still supposed to be a vehicle
of the views of influential persons about the Court,
entirely agrees in opinion with the journal we have
quoted. " We persist in thinking," argues the
Journal de Paris, " that Don. CARLOS ought
to be retained in France-Ist, until Spain shall be
pacified; that is to say, so long; .as CABRERA shall
not have laid down his arms, arid the provinces shall
not have obtained satisfaction by the definitive set-
tlement of the question of the fueros ; 2dly, so
long as the revival of civil -war shall not have been
rendered impossible by a solemn declaration of Don

merit of the Salique law for she future, and the rights
of the descendants of Dort. CARLOS to the Crown
in the event of the decease of the young QUEEN
and her sister without male heirs." The liberal,
but moderate, Courrier Franceds takes precisely the
same view of this question. " When Don CARLOS
was reduced to seek a refuge upon tb e French ter-
ritory," observes this Journal, " the Ministry which
placed him at Bourges concluded thatit had a right
e,idence, an d did not .think that it

_EVENING FlirrlON.

SPECIAL COm

MONMOUTH, TUESDAY NIGHT.
The Special Commission for the trial of the Chartist
Prisoners was opened at an early hour this morning, by
Sir Nicholas Tyndal, Chief Justice of the Common
Pleas ; Sir James Parke, Baron of the Exchequer ; and
Sir John Williams, one of the Justices of the Queen's
Bench. The circumstance (a very unusual one in the
hitherto peaceable district of Wales) appeared to oc-
casion nothing like excitement, nor even the desire to
gratify curiosity on account of its novelty. There
Were not to be seen in the streets any crowds—cer-
tainly no crowd such as might be expected to be seen
an a market day. The interest, if there be any, is,
I suppose, reserved for the trials, when the poorer
classes, who are the most deeply affected by the frightful
affray at Newport, will naturally be attracted to this
Place, where the fate of so many of their relatives wilt
be determined. Another reason for the apparent apathy
which now exists may be this—that I have found since I
arrived here a very pervalent notion that there will be no
Fapital conviction at this commission ; or, if there be, it
Is not likely to be followed by execution. It appears
to me that such a report is circulated for mere party
Purposes. It is believed, I have heard by the pri•
loners, that even now the family of Mr. Frost are
speaking of arrangements for immediately abandoning
England after his acquittal. Such a notion may well
account for the apathy which, in a case like this, is ex-
traordinary. As to the entrance of the Judges, which
took place between ten and eleven this morning, it was
not attended with any display such as I had expected.
There were not more than three carriages to make up
the procession, and they were unaccompanied by any
Fulitary, being merely preceded by the Sheriff's usual
Javelin and foot men. It was thus they came into
Monmouth, from the seat of Major Marryatt. Upon
entering the town, they at once went to the Court-
house, where the Royal Commission was read.

DR. YARNETT'S Restorative Tonic Drops
and Pills, an unfailing Remedy for Nervous, Local, and
General Debility. This celebrated physician never, perhaps,
exerted his vast talent and experience mere beneficially for
mankind, than in the prescription for the preparation of the
above-named remedies. It is an incontestible fact, that every
species of nervous, local, and general debility, so often the me-
lancholy result of youthful imprudence, must, without fail,
yield to its sanative and renovating powers. Its operation is
not only certainly successful, when duly persevered in, but it is
also produced without the slightest risk or inconvenience to the
patient.
Prepared and sold, wholesale and retail, by Elliott, chemist,
&c., 22, Lisle-street, Leicester-square (and may be had from
all respectable patent medicine venders in town and country),
in bottles, with a proportionate number of pills, at 4s. 6d., I Is.,
and 215., duty included.

The treaty with England seems to be as good as con-
cluded. Our Government meets with much difficulty
in abolishing a sulphur monopoly, because the French

:MIDDLESEX SESSIONS: ENORMOUS IN-
crtEn.sr or THE COUNTY RATrs.--Yesterday, the
Grand Jury having been sworn, the Chairman said the
provisions of the New Prison Bill,
which prohibited the
Magistrates from employing prisoners in any of the sub-
ordinate capacities of yardsmcn, or wardsmen, or the
like, which had hitherto been the custom in the prisons
of Middlesex and other counties, would entail an addi-
tions l expense upon the county of Middlesex in
resp, :et of the House of Correction alone of upwards
of 5 ,0001. a year, and in respect of Westminster
Brie? .ewell and the New Prison, Clerkenwell, of not
less than 2,0001. a year more. The Act would
corn Le into operation on the Ist of January next, when
the ninety-five prisoners in the House of Correction,
wl lo were at present employed there as monitors, or in
o'„he r capacities, must by
law cease to be so em-
ploy ed, and their places supplied by turnkeys with
regular salaries. The cases tried during the day were
of ,no public interest.
