MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-Auy. 22.

The sittings of the Court for the August general ses-
sion were resumed yesterday at the Guildhall, West-
minster, by adjournment from Clerkenwell, before Mr.
Sergeant Adams, assistant-judge, and a bench of magis-
trates. The number of prisoners for trial was 68, viz.,
60 charged with felony, and 8 with misdemeanour.
Thomas Thompson, a middle-aged man, was placed at
the bar.

Mr. Bodkin said he appeared for the prosecution in
this case, which was one with which the jury would not
have to be troubled. The prisoner had been committed
as an incorrigible rogue, and was sent to the sessions to
be dealt with under the power given to the court by the
10th section of the act 5 Geo. IV., c. 83, that power
being to sentence the prisoner to whipping and impri-
sonment, or imprisonment without whipping, for a term
not exceeding 12 calendar months. He should prove in
evidence that the prisoner was one of those persons who
carried on a regular system of fraud on the benevolent
by fabricating tales of misery and distress to excite com-
miseration, and, by these means, inducing the charita-
ble to send them money. It appeared that he wrote to
Lord Grey in the name of J. W. Brandling, stating that
he was a junior member of the family of the Brandlings
of Gosforth, and that he was in great distress, and his
lordship sent him a post-office order for 2/. The prisoner,
after he had got Lord Grey's letter, made an application
to Lord Palmerston, inclosing Lord Grey's letter to
show that his case had already received Lord Grey's
favourable consideration, this application being also in
the name of Brandling ; but it happened that the letter
was opened by Mr. Grey, Lord Palmerston's private
secretary, who was himself distantly related to the
Brandling family, and he was at once aware of the false-
hood of the representations contained in the application,
and the letter was at once remitted to the Mendicity
Society, and the result was the prisoner's apprehension.
Evidence in proof of the above facts having been
given, a copy of a former conviction of the prisoner was
put in. It was made evidence under a recent statute.
Mr. Bodkin then produced a number of letters. He
said the prisoner had been convicted several times, and
amongst the members of the nobility he had applied to
were the Duchess of Sutherland, the Duke of Portland,
and the late Queen Dowager.
The Assistant-Judge sentenced him to be imprisoned
and kept to hard labour for one year.

AUSTRIA.

The Emperor of Austria will proceed to the camp
of Olmutz on the 15th September, and remain
there for a week, immediately after which the
Federal Military Commission will inspect the
Austrian contingent. The invitation given by the
French Government to send Austrian officers to
the camp of Satory, has been followed by a polite
reply, accompanied by a similar invitation for
French officers to be present at the camp of
Olmutz.

Elizabeth Amelia Eugenia, Duchess of Bavaria,
who has been affianced to the Emperor of Austria,
was born on the 24th December, 1837. Her
Royal Highness is the second daughter of .Maxi-
milian Joseph Duke of Bavaria, and of Ludovica
Wilhelmina Princess of Bavaria ; she has three
brothers arid four sisters. She is granddaughter
of the late King Maximilian Joseph of Bavaria,
cousin of the Emperor of Austria, and nearly re-
lated to the Queen of Prussia.

The Administrative Council of the Kingdom of
Poland has decreed the confiscation of the property
of ten political refugees. In the number is Stan-
islaus Jurmand, condemned in 1847 to six years'
imprisonment in the fortress of Zamosc. Jur-
mand succeeded in escaping, and fled to foreign
countries.

LATEST POREIGN NEWS

FRANCE.

There is nothing of any importance in the ori-
ginal columns of the Paris journals of yesterday.
Some of them have no leading article. The Con-
stitutionnel devotes again a large space to remarks
in favour of Mortgage Banks, and the Pays has an
article on the Councils-general, which presents no-
thing for extract or interest to the general reader.
The AssembleeNationale publishes an article on the
Russso-Turkish question, chiefly in reply to one in
the Times on the same subject. It expresses sur-
prise at the delay of the Porte in giving in its ad-
hesion to the note proposed, especially when there
is a unanimity of sentiment among the great powers
with regard to it, but, says at the_same time that
they feel assured that not the slightest pretext for
uneasiness remains.
The fete of Napoleon was celebrated at Nice with
great eclat. A Te Deum was celebrated in the
church of St. Dominique, and in the evening the
French consul, Barron de Maussion, gave a grand
ball to the principal inhabitants. There was a dis-
play of fireworks given in the course of the evening.
The Bourse, which opened heavily yesterday,
improved towards the conclusion, and the Three
per Cents., which were first called at 801. 50c., rose
to 801. 65e., at which they closed for the end of the
month, being a rise of 35c. as compared with the
closing price of Saturday. The Four-and-a-Half
per Cents. closed at 105 f. 15c. • Orleans Railway

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Fortesque.)
MAYNARD V. ALLOM.
The plaintiff in this action is an accountant, and de-
fendant is a surveyor, and the action was brought to re-
cover the sum of 71. 7s. 6d. the balance of an account
for making out a balance-sheet for the defendant. De-
fendant paid sixpence into Court, and a set off of 71. 7s.
as to the remainder, for services rendered as a surveyor.
The plaintiff was examined, and proved that the
work charged for was properly done, and that the
charges made were according to the scale allowed by the
Court of Bankruptcy.
By Mr. W. R. Buchanan, for the defendant—The
charges were at the rate of ss. per hour for himself, 16s.
a day for his chief clerk, and 7s. a day for the copying-
clerk. He had not had the bill taxed.
Mr. Buchanan then addressed the court for the de-
fendants, and contended that the defendants were most
unreasonable, and as the bill had not been taxed, his
Honour had the power to reduce it. He also put in
a receipt for 61. 11s., and contended that it was given
in liquidation of the balance of the discount, although
it professed to be given " on account," the balance being
only 6d., as the bill for 7/, 7s. was handed to plaintiff
at the same time as an off set of the sum of 131. 18s. 6d.,
and not returned. The learned gentleman urged that
the acceptanee of the defendant's bill was a recognition
of the account.
Defendant was examined, and proved that he had
done the work, and swore that the charge was fair ;
but a witness called considered 51. 55.. and 21. 2s.
charged for bill of items ought to be included in the
51. ss.
His Honour thereupon gave judgment for 21. 2s. be-
B;des the sixpence paid into court.

MONTENEGRO.

The latest accounts from Montenegro, in the
Trieste Gazette and Osservatore Dalmato, are to the
31st ult. All the efforts of the Montenegrins were
directed towards preventing the junction of the
two Turkish armies, respectively commanded by
the Seraskier, Omer Pasha, and by Osman Pasha,
governor of Scutari ; in consequence of which they
have raised formidable fortifications on the: plain of
Vir, which reaches to the lake of Scutari, and may
be considered the key to Montenegro. The two
Turkish islands of Vranini and Sessendra, in the
Lake of Scutari, have also been fortified by them,
and sufficiently provided with cannon and stores.
The Turkish forces are variously stated at between
40,000 and 60,000 men. A British steamer was
anchored off the Bojana, to observe the operations
against Montenegro. The Montenegrins are divided
into four bodies, which operate defensively in as
many directions. Prince Danilo was at Berda with
8,000 men. It is positively stated that a general
battle took place on the 31st between the Montene-
grins and the Turks, but the result is still un-
known.

FRENCH PLAYS.-ST JAMES'S THEATRE.

M. Ravel played last night in three pieces, two of
which are new in this country. The first, which bore
the somewhat odd and unintelligible title of Une Riviere
dans le Dos, is a trifle of more than ordinary lightness.
M. Riviere is one of those socially disagreeable persons
whom our neighbours call a touche-d-tout, perpetually
fingering other people's handkerchiefs, spectacles, books,
and so on, not with dishonest motives, but through mere
fidgetiness. Under the influence of this disposition,
being one day in a strange house, and finding a diamond
necklace lying about, he attempts to put it round his
neck, when unluckily all of a sudden it slips down his
back, and this forms the riviere dans le dos of the title.
His embarrassment in this awkward situation, his fear
of a discovery, and his endeavours to extricate the stray
article, are ludicrous in the extreme, and constitute the
fun of the piece, for beyond this single idea there is no-
thing in the piece. It was received with a hearty laugh,
but nothing more. The second piece, Le Corporal et la
Payse, was translated and produced at the Adelphi
under the title of Suing Wright. The principal action
of the piece takes place between Arthemise (Madle.
Lambert) a bonne in the family of M. Poupelard,
and her lover, M. Expire, a corporal in the
line. Arthemise is, besides, courted by her master,
while her mistress, Madame Poupelard, has a lover in
M. Jonquille, a neighbouring perfume; who, to get
Arthemise out of the way, presents her with a ticket to
the play. Unfortunately it is one of Exupere's nights,
and the bonne is obliged to leave him in charge of the
nursery while she gratifies her theatrical taste. Hence
the fun of the piece, which consisted in the efforts of the
gallant corporal to keep the children quiet. All corts of
expedients are tried in turn—some of them, though no
doubt well received in the liberal atmosphere of the
Palais Royal, would have been better omitted last night.
In this part of the piece M. Ravel was wonderfully
comic. The sight of his face, surrounded by a woman's
nightcap, which he has put on to make the children be-
lieve him their veritable nurse, was irresistible. The
sudden return of M. and Madame Poupelard drives him
to take refuge in an alcove, which leads to further com-
plications—for M. Poupelard,: taking him for Arthemise,
makes love to him in the dark, and slips on his finger a
valuable diamond ring. He eventually escapes, but
what becomes of him does not appear, as the piece gets
flat beyond measure at the end. So slight indeed is the
interest of the piece, that it was only M. Ra,vel's eccentri-
cities that kept the audience from yawning outright.
York, which we have already noticed, was the other
piece. A numerous and fashionable audience was pre-
sent. To-night M. Ravel appears in Une Pievre Bralante.

AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTURAL COMPANY:

At a special meeting of the Australian Agricultural
Company, held yesterday, it was unanimously agreed to
confirm the sale of the Peel River grant to the Peel
River Land and Mineral Company, and resolutions were
immediately passed to that effect. Although the pro-
ceedings were merely formal, there was a large atten-
dance of shareholders, and in course of the discussion the
desirableness of developing"the various resources of the
remaining property was strongly urged upon the direc-
tors. Mr. De Salis described the possessions of the com-
pany as situated in the best positions of New South
Wales, and capable of being brought into extensive
cultivation. The readiest means, however, of improv-
ing the value of their land would be to introduce po-
pulation into the district, and this could easily be
effected if railway facilities were promoted, especially
as they could on the American system be constructed
at a cost of about 1,500/. per mile. The chairman
(Mr. Brownrigg) stated that the directors had taken
this suggestion into careful consideration, and would
be prepared to give every attention to plans which
might be hereafter brought forward. In the meantime,
however, they did not wish to be precipitate in pledging
themselves to any special course of action. With respect
to inquiries made as to the probability of a further call,
the board did not at present anticipate that such a step
would be found necessary. The lease already granted to
a company for working part of the Peel River district
had been slightly modified, an extension, if required for
an additional period of seven years having been granted,
but without the option of closing at a year's notice, as
was the case in the original undertaking. Another ne-
gotiation was pending with other parties for a similar
lease, and it was thought several grants would eventually
be concluded, since it was found that scarcely any other
titles to land in the colony were equal to those of the
Australian Agricultural Company. The following are
the resolutions adopted :
"That this meeting do approve and confirm the
agreement made and entered into the 4th of February
inst. with the directors of the Peel River Land and
Mineral Company, now produced, for the sale of the
Peel River grant for the sum of 500,0001., on the terms
and conditions therein expressed.
"That this meeting do approve and sanction the bill
proposed to be introduced into Parliament this session,
and now read to the meeting, entitled 4An Act to amend
an Act passed in the sth year of the reign of his Majesty
King George IV., for granting certain Powers and
Authorities to the Australian Agricultural Company,
and to alter the Capital of the said Company,' and re-
quest the directors to proceed with the same in the
present or any modified form in the present session."

SWITZERLAND.

A letter from Bellinzona of the 6th, in the Par-
lament° of Turin, states that the Swiss Federal
Government, suspecting that some movements
might be attempted by certain foreign refugees,
has given them strict orders to have them sent into
the interior, unless provided with a special permis-
sion. MM. Saffi and Pistrucci have been ordered
out of the country. The Federal revenue force has

been applied for and granted to patrol the frontier
on the side of Lombardy. The Federal police has
been very active for the last fortnight, both to pre-
vent Switzerland being involved in any disturbance
breaking out, and to maintain the inviolability of
its own frontier. The commissaries of Mendrisio
and Lugano have called out the communal militia,
and several persons suspected of having a hand in
political intrigues have been arrested.

DEATHS IN EMIGRATION VESSELS.

Mr.• HILDYARD wished to inquire of the Under-
Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether the Govern-
ment had caused inquiry to be made into the mortality
which, according to recent accounts from Australia,
took place on board four vessels chartered by the Emi-
gration Commissioners to convey emigrants between the
ports of Liverpool and Melbourne.
Mr. F. PEEL said no less than one hundred
deaths occurred on board three vessels, and
when they arrived in Melbourne, it was found that
they had 300 sick persons on board. Thie arose out of
circumstances over which the emigration commissioners
had no control, as owing to the state of the shipping trade
they were unable to charter single-decked ships. In
three similar vessels 179 deaths occurred ; out of that
number 167 were children, there being on board a num-
ber of children ya,stly disproportionate to the ;lumber

THE FRENCH EMPIRE.

The Emperor and the Empress seem to be very
PePillar in Paris. On Monday afternoon they
took a drive along part of the Boulevards and in
some of the principal thoroughfares. Their
Majesties were everywhere received with marked
respect. They honoured the Theatre Francais
With their presence in the evening to witness the
jfirst representation of Lady Tartuffe. Their Ma-
eaties arrived at eight o'clock, at the commence-
ment of the performance. A great crowd had
.seembled to wait their arrival, by whom and by
the audience on their entering the house they were
received with loud acclamations. The Emperor
placed her Majesty in the right-hand corner of the
boa, Where he usually sat, and took the opposite
corner himself. Between their Majesties were
seated the Marquis de las Marismas and the
ellatrheonze de La Terre. The Emperor was in plain
the Empress wore a simple blue dress, and
with a lace head-dress. Yesterday their Majesties
went to visit the buildings of the Garde-Meuble,
and proceeded thence to the Louvre, and visited

GREECE.

According to the Impartial de Smyrne, it is pro-
posed to establish a banque fonciere, like that in
France. There is a rumour that the house of
Rothschild has offered to advance 20,000,000 (of
francs ?), but the correspondent doubts its correct-
ness for a most excellent reason. " Greece can
offer no security whatever." Mention is also made
of a fisticuff engagement in the Chamber. M.
Staiko, the son-in-law of M. Gardikicti, opened the
game, which soon became a round one. " There
was a melee generale," in which old Kondaky came
off worst.
