THE NEW NOVEL, " THE SQUIRE," by the
Author of " The Merchant's Daughter," &c.—This is not
only a cleverly written, but a very entertaining novel. The
character of the Squire Philip Conyers, and that of his
daughter Mabel, are both well drawn, the former in particular.
It is in fact the very beau ideal of " the fine old English
gentleman of the olden time," whose devotion to field sports
and the joys of the table has marked them out as, perhaps,
the happiest class of society. The plot is worked up with
considerable ingenuity, and the denouement is so skilfully con-
cealed, that the reader cannot even guess at it until he has
read through the work. We regret that we have not space
for extract this week, though we bad noted some 'capital pas-
sages, but we may do so hereafter.—Sunday 7'imes.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET.—We have had a
moderate business doing in the Sugar Market since our last,
at still advanced prices ; but the importers finding this Market
rather below London, have now valued their Sugars propor-
tionately high, at which they are firm, and this has caused
both grocers arid refiners to pause until they have reduced
their present stocks. The lowest Brown Sugars in this Market
may now be quoted at 625. ; strong grey for refining, 645. to
665. ; good and fine grocery, 665. to 70s. ; Molasses (Re-
finers'), 345. Nothing doing in Rums, and no inquiry for
them.—Bristol Gazette.

.
STATE OF TRADE.—There was a very fairin-
quiry for yarn yesterday, especially for the higher numbers of
water-twist ; but the buyers generally were disinclined to give
the advance universally demanded for the spinners. The de-
mand for some descriptions of goods, particularly 27-inch
printing cloth was very good, and higher pi ices were gene-
rally obtained.—Manchester Guardian, Nov. 22.
COURT ANECDOTE.—When a female member of
the British Royal Family holds a levee, it is customary for
her to kiss the ladies of the nobility, and no others. It hap-
pened that the lady of the Lord Justice Clerk was on one occa-
sion among the number of those presented to the late Princess
Amelia, who, as it is well known, was very deaf—" Stand by
for my Lady Justice Clerk," said the man in waiting. Mean-
while some meddling person whispered that 11;s announcement
was incorrect, the lady being a commoner. By this time the
kiss preliminary was about to be performed, when out bawled
the man of office through a speaking trumpet, " Don't kiss
her, Madam—she's not a lady !"
We have to announce the death of the Earl of
Cavan, which took place on Tuesday, at the residence of Mr.
Wm. Delafield, in Stanhope-place, Hyde-park. The deceased,
who held the rank of General in the army, and was also Colonel
of the 45th foot, was in his 74th year; he was, besides, Go-
vernor of Calshot Castle, and Knight of the Turkish Order
of the Crescent. All his titles were in the Irish Peerage, and
as he was not one of the representative Peers of that country,
he had no seat in Parliament. He is succeeded by his grand-
son, Viscount Kilcoursie (now Earl of Cavan), who is in his
26th year. The present Earl is eldest son of the late Peer's
third son, George, by his first marriage.
Last week one of the Polar bears lately arrived
from Davis' Straits, and landed at Downe's Wharf, Lower
East Smithfield, and which was subsequently removed to Mr.
Wombwell's establishment in Commercial-road East, broke
loose and attacked one of the keepers, who, though seriously
injured, escaped with his life. Before the ferocious animal
was finally secured, spears and other weapons had to be put in
requisition. This bear, the oldest and largest of the three
landed from the smack Fifeshire, Capt. Grant, is now kept in
a strong place of confinement.

" P.S.—I open this to observe that Mr. Griffiths in-
forms me that a clerk in your office has just been here to
say that the Secretary for Foreign Affairs has nothing to do
with M. Usiglio, and can, therefore, give no explanation.
Under such circumstances may I venture to ask you to
whom I ought to addres myself ?"
Letter of M. Rudhart to Sir Edmund Lyons in answer :
" Athens, August 2.

" M. LE CHEVALIER—I have received your note ad-
dressed to me this day on the subject of Usiglio, and I
hasten to reply to the observations which you have thought
proper to make on this occasion. M. Emilio Usiglio has
been expelled by the express order of the King, and permit
me to observe, that in doing so his Majesty exercised a
right which every Sovereign possesses, and for which he is
responsible to no one. It is therefore, merely out of com-
plaisance to you that I add to this letter the following in-
formation :—The King's Government had strong reasons
for not permitting Greece to become the rendezvous of
political intriguers, and it is its intention, in consequence,
to execute rigidly the laws and regulations respecting the
passports of foreigners. Usiglio being a Modenese subject,
and not having a passport of his country, the passport
which he has cannot be considered regular. Told to depart
by the Governor of Athens, this refugee replied with inso-
lence. On the other hand, the Government had learned
from certain sources that he was one of the members of
Young Italy, and in relation with the notorious Mazzini.
The Government obeyed its own interest in forcing him
to quit the country, thus serving as police to itself,
not to the petty States of Italy, as you gratui-
tously suppose. You complain that Mr Griffiths having
come to my office to ask Councillor Delyanni the reasons
for which the Government expelled Usiglio, an answer was
not sent for five hours after. But M. Delyanni could not
do otherwise without having consulted with his principal and
obtained his authorization.* He was afterwards charged
to acquaint Mr. Griffiths that the orders of expulsion against
Usiglio came from the Home Minister. I beg to observe,
that the benevolence of the three powers towards Greece
is well known to its Government, but this does not consti-
tute for them a right to interfere in its domestic affairs.
As to my manner of conducting myself towards the Lega-
tion of her Britannic Majesty, I do not think your reproaches
well founded, though no accusation of the kind can be
with respect to the present case, Usiglio not being an
English subject, and having no right to the name or pro-
tection of one. I have sought to do my duty, nay, to meet
every wish that I thought reasonable ; and nothing would
give me greater pleasure than to meet with the same feel-
ing, and the reciprocity of similar sentiments. •'Receive
" 11U D HART."
SECOND LETTER OF SIR EDMUND LYONS TO
THE CHEVALIER RUDHART.
Athens, Aug.. 3.

MONSIEUR LE CHEVALIER—I have received the letter
which you did me the honour of writing yesterday in an- I
swer to mine of the same date, and I think it my duty to
observe, that its contents have in no wise changed my opi-
nion as to the conduct of the Greek Government towards
the Legation in this affair. Setting aside all the irrelevant
matter contained in your reply, I take the liberty of reca-
pitulating the principal motives of complaint which occa-
sioned my note of the 2d, and to repeat that they were
limited to the following facts :-Ist, That the Greek Go-
vernment, without making the slightest communication
to me, expelled from Greece an inoffensive individual,
holding a British passport bearing the visa of the Greek
Consul at Malta. 2d, That on my official demand for
explanation I was kept in ignorance, not fire hours, as
your letter says, but twenty-two hours. 3d, That the
answer, when it did come, had been preceded by the com-
munication, in the greatest haste, of the act of which I
complained, under the most aggravating circumstances too ;
that at length, a most extraordinary thing, you declared
that you had nothing to do with the affair ; and that, in
consequence, I should apply elsewhere than to the Minister
of Foreign Affairs, without at all indicating where I should
address myself or get explanation. Finally, I was left in
the painful conviction that my intervention had merely the
effect of increasing the rigour with which Al. Usiglio was
treated, and that you were determined to deprive me of
every information on the subject, even in neglect of the
courtesy due to a Foreign Minister. Such are the motives
on which my representations were founded, their justice
not being the least attenuated by the observations of
your letter. On the contrary, they have received greater
force since you assert that the Greek Government has
the right of acting as it has done, on the ground that M.
Usiglio, though the bearer of an English passport, had no
right to English protection, because he was a native of
Modena. Permit me to observe, Monsieur le Chevalier,
once for all, that I do not admit the right of the Greek Go-
vernment to refuse amicable explanation, as it has done in
this case, sanctioned by courtesy and by custom, and to
constitute itself the sole judge of the validity of an Eng-
lish passport, or to decide whether the English Govern-
ment has or has not the right to protect foreigners.
If this point were ceded, serious difficulties might
arise, as there are hundreds of foreigners, Italians, Sici-
lians, Corsicans, who have served for years in the British
army and navy, and who have a right to British protection
in every country, save their own, where, of course, they re-
sume their nationality. It was the custom of your prede-
cessors in similar cases to enter into communication with
this legation. Even when civil war was raging, and prompt
measures were necessary, the courtesy usual in such cases
was never omitted. It will appear, then, no more than
" reasonable" on my part to expect to be informed of the
measures about to be taken against M. Usiglio. Finding
my verbal communications treated with neglect, I ventured
to ask for explanation by letter ; the answer I then re-
ceived was, that the King had expelled M. Usiglio by virtue
of a right, for which he was responsible to none ; that I
ought to consider any explanation as a proof of special fa-
vour ; and, in fine, I am reproached with interfering in
the domestic affairs of the country. As an Englishman
sincerely attached to constitutional Monarchy, I am na-
turally disposed to pay the greatest deference and re-
spect to the desires and opinions of the Sovereign. But I
cannot subscribe to the doctrine put forward by you, that
the Crown, acting under true or false information, under
good or bad counsel, under the influence of correct or erro-
• In such a place as Athens this could have been bad in
five minutes, and had the explanation been sent within four
_ _

hours, the insult and the scandal would have been avoided.
But this would not have answered the purpose of M. Rudhart.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nor. 22.

THE QUEEN V. BRIGSTOKE, PALMER, MORGAN, THOMAS

AND JONES.

In this case seven persons had a criminal information
filed against them for publishing in the Welshntan news-
paper a libel upon Mr. Davis, a magistrate of the county
of Pembroke. The libel imputed that he had refused.to a
man named Phillips indulgence in the payment of rates,
because Phillips bad voted on the opposite side to himself
in politics. The trial took place at the last Assizes at Ha-
verfordwest before Mr. Baron Gurney, when the defend-
ants were found guilty. One of the defendants bad since
died, and another was so ill that he could not be safely
brought up to London to receive judgment. The five de-
fendants were therefore the only persons intended to he
affected by the proceedings of to-day. Affidavits baying
been put in on both sides,
The Attorney-General, Mr. Chilton, and Mr. John
Evans were heard in mitigation of punishment, and Mr.
Vaughan Williams in aggravation cf it.
Mr. Justice PATTESON pronounced the judgment of the
Court. Taking all the circumstances into consideration,
the judgment was, that the defendant Palmer should pay a
fine of 201. to the Queen, and be imprisoned in the prison
of the Court till such fine was paid—that Brigstoko should
be imprisoned in the gaol of Carmarthen for the space of
two calendar months, and in the meantime be comm►t,ed to
the custody of the Marshal of the Marshalsea—that
Morgan and Thomas should each pay a fine of 401., and
be imprisoned in the prison of the Court till such fine was
paid—and that Jones should pay a fine of 40/., and be im-
prisoned for one calendar month in the gaol of Carmarthen,
and be further imprisoned till such fine was paid.

THE QUEEN V. THE WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE.

Lord DENMAN delivered judgment in this case, which
had been argued some time since, and in which the question
was, whether Justices at the Quarter Sessions could, upon
the proof of a party having given, at Petty Sessions, re-
cognizances to keep the peace, and of a conviction being
subsequently obtained against him for an assault, estreat
those recognizances without giving the party full notice of
the proceedings and full means of being heard. The Court
was clearly of opinion that the
.party must have fall notice,
and therefore male the rule absolute for issuing a certiorari
to remove the order of the Qtwater Sessions into this Court,
with a view to quash it.

BAIL COURT.—Nor. 22.

On the sitting of the Court this mornin2, Sir Thomas
Trowbridge, Admiral Adams, Lord Dalmcny, and other
Lcrds of the Admiralty, severally took the oaths of alle-
giance.

EODDINGTON V. WOODLEr.
In this case a rule bad bee❑ obtained by Mr. Bagley,
calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the defendant
should not be discharged out of custody on entering a
common appearance, on the ground that there were certain
variations between the writ and the deelarAtion subsequently
filed against the defendant. Yesterday his Lordship gave
judgment, and decided that the rule must be made absolute.

COURT OF COMAION PLEAS, .Nor. 22.
GAY V. PITMAN.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, the brother
of th..?, late Hannah Brown, who was murdered by Green-
acre, against the defendant, us vestry clerk of the parish of
Paddington, to recover the sum of fifty pounds, offered as a
reward by that parish for the apprehension or such informa-
tion as should lead to the apprehension of the murderer.
Besides the plaintiff, there were two other parties wil,) also
laid claim to t:•.e reward—one a young man, named Green,
and the other a person, named Evan Davis, both of whom,
it will be recollected, were examined as witnesses on the
trial at the Old Bailey.
After a great deal of discussion at the bar, it was at
length agreed by all parties:that the Learned Judges should
look over the affidavits, and finally dispose of the case.
