and had also removed O'Callaghan from the Governorship
of Morella, which he had given to Pedio Thltran de
Kin.
A report likewise states that he had threatened to
blow up the Convent of Bemfasa, containing 2,500
Christina prisoners, if any attack was made on him by
Espartero.
The Chamber of Peers will sit to-morrow as a Court
of Justice. It will then adjourn to the second half of
January to try the accused.
Of the 400 persons inculpated 361 have been pro-
visionally set at liberty. The Court will immediately
decide on the fate of these 361 persons.
The Court will then decide on the 39 others, whom
the Commission propose to put on their trial. It will
afterwards determine respecting those who have fled
from justice.
The English journals have not arrived. The Chamber
of Commerce of Lille has addressed a letter, dated
November 27, to the Minister of Commerce, in order
to obtain an augmentation of tkimport duty on thread
and linen manufactures. The-Minister replied on the
3d of this month that this important subject has been
discussed in the Council of Ministers, and the
augmentation of this duty asked for by the linen-
manufacturers does not appear to require such
immediate attention, as to make it necessary
to decide by an ordinance the questions connected
with it, and which arc therefore reserved for the consi-
deration of the Chambers.—Le Commerce, Dec. 14.
The accounts from Spain are of little importance. On
the frontier some movements of Cabrera are spoken of,
which should seem to indicate an intention on his part
of resuming offensive operations. We yesterday men-
tioned several advantages obtained by his troops. These
accounts are confirmed by the Madrid journals of the 7th.
The Siecle says—" The project of law on sugars,
which is to be presented in the next session, is not con-
fined, as some journals have announced, to equalizing
the duty on home and colonial sugars. The principle
of a reduction of the higher duty imposed on foreign
sugars, which is the national and indispensable comple-
tion of this measure, is also admitted. It seems that
this higher duty will not exceed 15 francs."—Le Ga-
zette de France.

REFORM CLUB HOUSE.—This building is ra-
pidly approaching towards completion, and, if not
disfigured by these crane-necked chimnies that are
rising up to such a height above the roof, will
form the most magnificent and palace-like structure
of the kind in the metropolis. Till the
work is completed, however, and the scaffold
ing removed, it would be premature to judge
of the effect ; but we have strong misgivings, and
though it would be hazardous to dispute a
point of architectural taste with Mr. Barry, we
must express our conviction that these turrets, so
tall and slender, will destroy much of the dignified
simplicity which stamps the massive structure be-
low. They rare -not in keeping with the rest of the
building, and besides, are defective in one import-
ant point—uniformity,' which conduces so mate-
rially to grandeut of 'character. The pepper-boxes
on the National Gallery turned 'Mr: Wilkinson to
ridicule ; and even Mr. Barry is not safe against
this dangerous weapon. The envious begin already
to say this intended masterpiece, and happy spe-
cimen of a peculiar Italian style is, after all, only a
large chest of drawers turned upside down.
Ma. FROST.—We are surprised that a Corres-
pondent who writes from Duke-street, Lincoln's
Inn-fields, cannot distinguish between a deliberate
statementinade-by-The Min, and by all the other
papers, relative to the CoUnael engaged for Mr.
Frost, and the rigmarole account of proceedings in
the Court at Monmouth, given by a Correspondent
on Saturday; taut we are even still more surprised that
he should fix upon a short paragraph in the paper,
inserted by oversight, as if that ought to outweigh
all the accounts that we have given of meetings ex-
pressing sympathy for Frost, and all that The Sun
has done to obtain a fair hearing for a political sect
that every other daily paper either treats with contempt
or would worry to death without trial. But we are
accustomed to ingratitude, and do not complain.
The following is the only part of our Correspon-
dent's letter worth insertion :—" The men and
women of Merthyr Tydvil have sent 251. for the
Defence Fund. The feeling in favour of Mr. Frost
is immense, and subscriptions are going on with
alacrity in all parts of England and Scotland."

STOCKDALE V. HANSARD.—The sale of the
goods of the defendant in this case under the writ of fieri
facias was appointed for this morning, at twelve o'clock,
on the premises, Great Turnstile, Lincoln's Inn-fields,
and the affair excited some interest in consequence of
its being generally rumoured that the House of Com-
mons would interfere through its officers to prevent the
sale taking place. At the hour appointed a written
notice was posted on the warehouse door, stating that
" the sale would not take place," but we have been
unable to learn the nature of the arrangement come to
between the parties.

CHANCERY COURT.--(THIS DAY,

CASE V. ROSIER.-JUDGMENT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this
case, which was argued before his Lordship twelve
months since, upon appeal from the decision of the pre-
sent Master of the Rolls. The bill was filed for the
purpose of establishing a legacy of 2,0001. The de-
fendant put in a demurrer to that bill on the ground
that the legacy was bad for remoteness. On the case
coming on before the Master of the Rolls, he allowed
the demurrer, and from that decision the parties ap-
pealed to this branch of the Court. His Lordship was
clearly of opinion that the demurrer had been properly
allowed by the Court below, and dismissed the appeal
with costs.
