CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY).

The February sessions of the Central Criminal Court
was opened this day at two o'clock by the Righ Hon.
the Lord Mayor, the Right Hon. the Recorder, Alder-
men Sir J. Duke, Moon, and Sir R. W. Carden, Mr.
Sheriff Wire, Mr. Under-Sheriff Anderton, &c.
The first edition of the calendar contains the names of
115 prisoners.
On the charge to the grand jury, the Recorder said
that, although there were some serious cases in the
calendar, they did not appear to him to preseat any diffi-
culties in point of law ; and therefore he should not de-
ter them from the performance of their duties by making
any observations relating to them. His lordship they
observed upon the absence of charges involving personal
violence, and he at the same time said that the only class
of offence which appeared on the increase was that of
uttering and making counterfeit coin—no less than 35
persons out of the whole number contained in the calen-
dar being charged with that offence.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. - (THIS DAY.)

SUSPECTED ROBBERY.

William Devine, a lad about 13 years of age, was
placed at the bar beforo Mr. Hardwicke, charged with
having a valuable shawl in his possession, supposed to
have been stolen.

Police-constable Joy, 187 C, stated that on Sunday
night, about twelve o'clock, he met the prisoner in
Jermyn-street, who asked him the way to Saffron-hill.
Seeing that he had a lady's shawl round his neck, wit-
ness asked him where he got it from, and, with some con-
fusion, prisoner replied that he had been to a meeting
round the corner, that his wife and him had a few words,
when she tore his neck tie from his neck, and he then
laid hold of her shawl and ran away with it. Witness
not believing that tale took him to the station-house,
where on searching him he found his neck-tie secreted
round his body. Witness subsequently ascertained that
a lady had met with an accident a short time before h•
met the prisoner, at the corner of Jermyn-street, and
she had lost a shawl similar to the one found in priso-
ner's possession, and he therefore wished to have him
remanded in •rder to procure the attendance of the
lady. Prisoner was then remanded.

The chairmen of the different clubs of Paris of
note, such as the Jockey Club, the Cercle des
Etrangers, &c., had been called to the Ministry
of the Interior, and ordered not to permit any
discussions or conversations of a political charac-
ter to take place in their rooms.
M. de Lamennais, who had entered into conva-
lescence, has, in consequence of making too free
with himself in going out, again fell ill, and is
not expected to recover.

place by the Hon. Colonel C. A. Gordon is entirely
caused by his anxiety to accompany his regiment, the
Grenadier Guards, into active service. His appointment
as an extra groom-in-waiting is honorary, and without
any emolument attached ; and to be regarded in no other
light than as a compliment to his long and intimate ser-

SPAIN.

The news arriving from Spain is assuming a very
serious aspect. The account given by the telegra-
phic despatch from Bayonne, announcing an insur-
rection at Saragossa, diminishes the real gravity of
the state of affairs in that city. It appears that the
insurgent battalion, instead of having been driven
from Saragossa, merely left the place for the purpose
of joining some other regiments, which are also in
insurrection. If the insurrection should spread,
it is probable that the Queen will be forced to call
in the aid of Marshal nrvaez. So critical does
the position of Queen Isabella 11. appear, that the 1
French and English Governments have had the
