M. Pageot, Charge d'Affaires from France to the United
States, with his family, accompanied by M. Saligny and
M. Montholon, who reached New York a few days ago in
the packet-ship Sylvie de Grasse, has arrived in this city.
This is the same gentleman, our readers will recollect, who
was Secretary to the French Legation, and for a time Charge
d'Affaires, before the late difference between the United
States and France, now so happily terminated.

GUILDHALL.

Yesterday two lads, named John. Noble and Robert Dc-
bensc, were ciamined before Mr. Alderman Wilson, charged
with stealing a trunk containing watches, plate, and money,
to the amount of 601., from the house of Mr. Shcarmur,
grocer, Amelia-street, Walworth-road; and Benjamin Alex-
ander, a general dealer, in Field-lane, Holborn-hill, was
charged with receiving the property. The prisoners, No-
ble, Debense, and Alexander, were committed, but the lat-
ter was, upon the application of his Counsel, bailed.
Francis Williams, the porter at the Old Bell Inn, Hol-
born, attended to answer the complaint of Mr. Bury, of
Kennington, for taking more than the legal charge for the
porterage of a box from that inn on the 26th of November.
Mr. Alderman WILSON said that the practice of sending
parcels to distant booking-houses was a gross and shameful
imposition, and, to repress it, he would fine the defendant
in the highest penalty, 20s. If his master had been sum-
moned, under another clause, he would have fined him 40s.
There was ' another practice he was equally disposed to
punish, that of sending parcels by errand-carts which went
some miles beyond the place to which the package was
directed, while another cart was going to the particular
place, and would deliver the goods some hours sooner. 'rho
fine was paid.

List.

The Sieur Prioli, in his " History of France under
the Ministry of Cardinal Mazarine," notices a " Fiesehi—
Count de Fieschi, of the noble family of the Fieschi in Genoa."

A LUCID DEFINITION.—" A case of monomania,"
said Mike, reading aloud—" what the d—l's monomania ?"
" Arrah, dear, don't you know? Suppose you were to
borrow an article without axing for it, and thin forget to put
it back again—would that not be stealing, ye fule ?" "To
be sure it would, Pat, and nothing else." " Hush, darlint !
if you was rich, it would not be thieving at all—it would
then be monomania."
We learn from Munich, under date of the 25th ult.,
that the cholera had considerably diminished, and would
have been still more so but for the unfavourable state of
the weather. Some cases had appeared at Offenheim, to
which place physicians had been sent from Munich.
FALMOUTH, DEC. 6.—Such has been the violence
of the weather, that the Government steamer Firefly,
with the Mediterranean mail, has been detained here for
the last three days, and is yet unable to put to sea ; and
several steamers bound to the westward have, we under-
stand. been obliged to put back. The Iberia steamer,
bound to Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, which left London
on the 2d instant, arrived here this morning, having had to
force her way through heavy gales and a head sea the
whole passage. She will proceed on her voyage to-morrow
morning early.

FROM FLORIDA.

Extract of a letter, dated Key West, Oct. 20.—" The
Indians made their appearance a short time since on Key
Tavinier, where they surprised the schooner Mary, Captain
Bethell, burnt the vessel, and slightly wounded some of
the crew before they could make their escape. Lieut.
Powell, of the United States sloop of war Vandalia, which
is now lying in our port, has gone in pursuit of them with
170 men under his command, accompanied by the United
States cutter Washington, and eight row boats. By the
last accounts the expedition had reached Indian Key, and
were making preparations to scour the country."
DEPARTURE OF THE MEXICAN ENVOY.
Signor Gorostiza has embarked for Mexico, with all
the members Of the legation. Previous to his departure
he addressed to our Government an exposition of his rea-
sons for taking this step, from which we give the following
extract :

"Unhappily the result has not been, what the under-
signed expressed. The note of Mr. Dickens has left him
no hope. 'The explanations, moreover, which have been
given him in the name of the President, have shown how
little can be looked for, by Mexico, from the United
States, since her most sacred rights, her most important
interests, are thus sacrificed to the shadow of an imaginary
danger. Mexico is wronged and insulted as a measure of
precaution.
" Under such painful circumstances, the undersigned
would be wanting in his duty, as the representative of
Mexico, if he did not avail himself of the only method left
him, to express the pain he feels at the wrongs done his
country. On his own responsibility, therefore, he declares
his mission from this moment terminated."

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 7.

LEMPSHALL V. NELSON.
In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when
we went to press, the Jury returned a verdict for the plain-
tiff—Damages, 14/.

EXCHEQUER COURT, DEC. 7.
SMITH V. SWEETMAN.
This was an action of trover to recover the, possession of
100 shares of the Potosi Consolidated Mining Company,
the property of the plaintiff, which defendant had converted
to his own use. The defendant pleaded ❑ot guilty,, and also
the statute of limitations ; that the cause of action did not
accrue within six years before the action brought.
His LORDSHIP summed up, and the Jury found for the
plaintiff—Damages 1001.
Mr. THESSIGER applied for speedy execution, which his
Lordship said should be granted.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.

In the course of yesterday afternooon the RECORDER,
addressing Mr. Clark, said—ln the case of Alexander and
Johnson, from the extreme importance of the case, I not
only requested but directed Mr. Bodkin to prosecute, es=
pecially as so much latitude is now allowed to Counsel, and
therefore it is my wish that the full expenses be allowed.
Indeed, I shall not ask Mr. Bodkin to acquiesce, for he
has not an,opinion on the subject. Finding the Judges
have sanctioned such a course, I shall order the same ex-
penses as if you had been engaged to prosecute.
Mr. BODKIN—My Lord, I am desired by the foreman
of the Jury to state that on going out he was assailed by
five ruffians, in consequence of having found Alexander and
Johnson guilty.
The foreman said while he was in the yard of the
Court he was surrounded by a number of fellows, and
pointed out as having caused their companions to be found
guilty. He could assure his Lordship that they had come
to that conclusion after mature deliberation.

The RECORDER-If you can point auy of them out, I
will take care to commit them to Newgate, and they shall
be severely punished.
Mr. PHILLIPS--The attorney for the prisoners will be
most happy to lend his aid to bring the parties to justice.
Edward Moran was indicted for stealing some valuable
papers and books, the property of William Lindley, and
Job Palmer and George Abraham Palmer were indicted
for purchasing the same, well knowing them to have been
stolen. After a long investigation, the whole of the pri-
soners were acquitted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

A young man, named John G enesi, the son of the
owner of an auction-shop in the Poultry, was charged by
Edmund Thompson, one of the puffers of the before-men-

His LORDSHIP ordered the defendant to find bail in two
sureties of 80/. each. The bail was immediately procured.

,CE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSIOLV-HOT.',st.

A gin-drinking carpenter, nitiriae',l John Low, was charged
with having beaten his wife, because she would not let him
pawn his children's shucs; to enable him to get an extra
quantity of gin.

- -
Constance .Lo'w, the wife, deposed that the defendant,
who had for 'many years been in the habit of beating her
black, thought proper to seize two or three of his children
for the F.rpose of unshocing them, in order to pawn their
shoes fr ad purchase gin. Witness opposed this very pater-
nal wr .y of treating the poor children, and received for her
oppr,sition several thumps, which deprived her of the power
Of calling for assistance.
The LORD MAYOR—Defendant, is it true that a man
.-ileriving a good profit from his employment can be capable
of taking off his children's shoes to gratify his appetite for
drink ? Defendant=-There was no occasion for a word,
your Lordship ; but there was no standing her jaw. I had
no idea of touching the shoes.
The wife--He was pulling them off, and would have
-bad them in gin in a few minutes if I had not prevented
it. lie has been this nine years using me ill, although we
have six children, and I support them, for he never makes
any effort, except to take away whatever I have.
The LORD MAYOR—And all for gin !
Mr. Hobler—No doubt of it ; if he could turn his wife
and children into barrels of gin, he would do it in an instant.
The LORD MAYOR directed that the defendant should
not go near his wife, except for the purpose of paying her
10s. a week, which, if he did not pay punctually, he should
be locked up in prison.

30, STRAND.
THE PERSIAN STANDARD
OR, THE RISING SUN

,
Of all the Arms which heralds have decreed
To gallant, noble, or heroic deed,
From earliest ages to the present day,
The glorious Arms of Persia bear the sway
A Lion couchant, all its battles wen, '
Watching, with furious eyes, a rising sun.
If heralds should hereafter, or should princes,
(When heralds and their masters have their senses)
• Be actuated to establish worth,
And make their actions known through all the earth ;
Sure; Warren, and his Blacking, now should stand
As great in heraldry as In the Strand.
Hear, then, a fact :—when Bonaparte had plac'd
Ambitious wishes on the British East,
Russia (then his ally) 'gainst Persia fought,
And gain'd advantages, though dearly bough
A troop of partisans, by Persia paid,
With British Officers of various grade,
Approach'il the Russians, who began to brag,
Seeing the partisans without a flag ;
But this neglect, it very soon appear'd,
Might, by a little genius, be repair'd.
A Bufflo's hide was soon depriv'd of hair,
And, by an English Sub. rais'd in the air,
With Warren's Blacking, beautifully br'ght,
They, with this standard, march'd as soon as light;
The Russians the attack had scarce begun,
When Warren's Blacking show'd the rising sun
The Russians cried, .‘ the Persian flag I" then fled
Leaving, in their retreat, some thousands dead!
This Easy shining and Brilliant Blacking prepared by ROBERT
WARREN, 3t., Strand, London ; and sold in every Town in the United
Kingdom.
Liquid, In Bottles, and Paste Blacking, in Pots, rd., P2d., and lad. each.

MEXICO AND SPAIN.

Lord MAHON begged leave to ask of tee Noble Secretary
for Foreign Affairs, whether he had received any official infor-
mation with respect to the termination of the negoe tions be-
tween Spain and Mexico for a settlement of their disputes. It
was a question of very great importance to this country, in a com-
mercial point of view, and he had hoped that the great influ-
ence of the Noble Lord in Spain would have been exerted,
in order to have the question settled.
Lord PALMERSTON said.the -Government of which the
Noble Lord was a Member was not more anxious for the set.
tlement of the question than was the Government now in power.
—( Hear, hear.) As far as it was possible for the Minister of
Great Britain to interfere, by using his friendly offices with
both sides, Mr. Villiers had done, and he had acted in strict
accordance with the orders of the Government. They were
not parties to the transaction, and therefore they could att
merely as friends of both parties. He had no reason to believe
that the negociations were broken off. The Spanish Govern.
merit had not taken the matter into their own hands, but had
referred it to the Cortes. The dissolution of that body bad
interfered with the negociations, but he had good reason to
believe that when they wain assembled they would be renewed.

MURDERS IN SPAIN.

Sir ROBERT PEEL said he wished to ask the Noble
Lord, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, a question respect-
ing an account which he had read in the public newspapers,
viz. that the wife or mother of Cabrera, as officer in
the service of Don Carlos, had been shot on account
of some offence, taken with the acts of her husband under the
direction of an officer in the pay, and commissioned by the
Spanish Government.. He wished to know if this were true?

Lord PALMERSTON was very much afraid that such
was the fact. He had no official information, but he had
heard it by a priva'e letter, and he believed there
could not be much doubt on the subject.—( Hear, hear.)
The account he had received was that this diabolical atrocity
had been cr,mmitted, and the consequence was that Cabrera
had shot the wives of four Spanish officers in the service of the
Queen, of Spain.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.--NOTTINGIUM, MARCH 14.
CRIMINAL COURT.— Walter Soar, aged twenty-nine, was
placed at the bar, charged with the wilful murder of John
.Webster, aged sixty-four. Mr. Amos conducted the prose-
cution ; and Mr. Hill, K. C., appeared for the prisoner.
The Learned Judge having summed up the evidence, the
jury found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter, and he was
thereupon sentenced to ten months' imprisonment.
Richard Smith, aged 45 years, was charged with having
committed an aggravated assault upon Mary Green, a young
girl, fourteen years of age, on the 24th of July last. The de-
tails of the transaction, as delivered in evidence by the girl
and the medical gentleman, were of such a nature as to pre-
clude the possibility of their appearing in print ; but it ap-
peared that Smith had taken advantage of his wife's absence
from home to instil into the drink provided for the girl's sup-
per some deleterious drug, which had the effect of lulling her
into forgetfulness, when he subsequently committed the crime
for which he was brought to justice.

The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Learned Judge
passed the awful sentence of death upon him, holding out no
hopes that the sentence wculd in the slightest degree be
commuted.
