themselves the honour to dub themselves heroes and
conquerors on this occasion, aid that Don CARLoq

Achieved prodigies of valour quite as effective
in the way of crushing the Christinos, as
AJAx's mutton victory was in wreaking ven-
geance on the perfidious Greeks. Of course the
bats were not more dismayed when they found them-
selves assailed by the Knightly courage of Don
Quixote, than were the miserable Constitutionalists
when they beheld themselves opposed by his Majesty
the Post-KING, and his bare-legged Navarese in-
vincibles.

The Chamber of Deputies was engaged on Sa-
turday with the report on the Budget. These is no
other news of any importance in these Journals.
PMl's% SAN. 24.—Much importance is attached in some
c!'.:•cies to an interview which took place the day before
yesterday, at the Office of the Minister for Foreign Affairs,
between the Duke de Broglie and the Ambassador of
Russia and England. To-day M. de Pablen has again
had a conference with the President of the Council, but
Lord Granville did not go.
A letter from Saragossa, of the 16th, says, that Colonel
Villapadurna had again defeated, in the environs of Sans,
the band of Cabrera, consisting of about 1,000 men, with
considerable loss ; in consequence of which, about 450 men
had passed through Berite on the morning of the 11th,
Hying in all directions, and in part without arms. The
valley of Roncal has just taken arms in favour of the
Queen : the Carlists having sent 2 battalions to reduce
the inhabitants. The Baron de Meer, Viceroy of Navarre,
has sent a column to oppose the march of the Carlists,
and defend the valley.—lndicatersr.
La Mode has just been seized at its office, and at the
Post-office. M. de Bourmont, ex-Marshal of France, was
at Florence on the 14th of January, with part of his family.
The Industriel de Champagne of the 20th says, " We
are assured that several merchants and manufacturers of
Reims intend to draw up and to propose to our citizens, for
their signature, a petition or address to the King, to ex-
press to him their great regret at the retirement of M.
Humann, under the circumssances which led to it, and
their desire that a project of law for the reduction of the
Five per Cents. may be soon presented to the Chamber."
We have received no English papers this morning. The
fire at New York has produced its effect at St. Etienne,
where, as a letter states, silks, to the value of 1,300,000
francs, have been sold this week, with a rise of 4 francs per
lb. on Organzines. Oar place is entirely cleared of this
article.-11fessager, Jan. 24.

The following report of a trial before the fifth
Chamber of the Tribunal of the first instance, is taken
from a Paris Journal of Sunday :
" The fifth Chamber of the Tribunal of the first instance
was called on, in its audience of Thursday last, to decide a
question which is interesting to diplomatic agents, and the
persons with whom they may transact business.
" Mr. Henry Greville, Secretary of the Embassy of his
Britannic Majesty, was summoned to pay for goods which
Messrs. Vert, Sauphar, and Levin alleged they had sold to
him. M. Cleeman, his Advocate, after observing that the
claim of the plaintiffsi was so unjust that he was certain
there was not a tribunal in the world before which his client
could not appear with confidence, maintained that the di-
plomatic character with which he was invested, and the formal
order of his Excellency the Ambassador, imposed on him,
as due to his position, to object to the competency of the
French tribunals. In support of this objection,'M. Cleeman
cited a decree of the 11th Ventose, year IL, and the opi-
nion of most of the authors who have written on interna-
tional law, such as Vatel, Grotius, Bynkershoeck, Wicque-
fort, Merlin, &c.

" M. Desagny, in,the name of the plaintiffs, endeavoured
to show that jurisprudence, and the opinions of authors,
agreed in only admitting an immunity from civil jurisdiction
to the persons attached to an 'embassy, when in that capa-
city they had contracted debts on account of the Ambas-
sador himself, or for the wants of his service ; that in the
present case, Mr. Greville had a domicile separate from
that of the embassy, that he had wily acted on his own
private account, and even without making any mention of
his situation. He cited a decree of the Cour Royale of
Paris, which seems to admit this distinction.
" However, after a reply from M. Cleeman, and con-
clusions conformable thereto of the public Ministry, the
tribunal pronounced the following judgment :
" Considering that it is a principle of the law of nations
recognised in Europe, and particularly in France, that per-
sons belonging to embassies participate in the rights and
privileges of the Ambassadors and diplomatic empoy& to
whom they are attached ;

" Considering that Mr. Greville has proved that he is
attached as secretary to the embassy of his Britannic
Majesty to his Majesty the King of the French, the Tri-
bunal declares that it cannot entertain the demand of MM.
Vert, Sauphar, and Levin, and that they be sentenced to
pay costs.' "

- Now, without absolutely going the length of sug-
gesting
an alteration in the international law which
declares that the persons of ambassadors and their
secretaries shall not be liable to arrest—we do think it
behoves the Government to take measures for pre-
venting the recurrence of such disgraceful scenes
as the above. It is decidedly a disgrace to
the English name and nation, that young men at-
tached to the Embassies of Great Britain should be
suffered to screen themselves from justice behind the
ermined robes of the Representatives of our most
gracious Sovereign. The principle of the international
law ought not to be interfered with, as any change in
it might lead to the most calamitous evils, by the
illegal detention of able secretaries through the
machinations of a hostile Government : but, at

the same time, ambassadors ought to be charged
with dismissing and disgracing every member
of his suite, who would contract debts without
the means and the will promptly to discharge them.
Above all, our Ambassadors should not suffer such
disgraceful occurrences to come before the public tribu-
nals. The way to prevent this, after debts have
been contracted is to pay them, or otherwise satisfy
the creditor, and then charge them against the
individual by whom they were contracted. The
national honour is stained by being employed as the
shield of fraud under whatever guise it assumes : an►i
we have too much confidence in the integrity of the
present Ministers to fear that they will overlook this
opportunity of giving proper instructions to British
Ambassadors. England seeks not the privilege of
giving sanctuary to such as endeavour to escape the
hands of justice.

We have received advises from Madrid to the 18th
inst., one day later than those received yesterday.
They are chiefly taken up with detailing the strength
of the opposition in the Estamentos, which now begins
systematically to develope itself. Senors MARTINEZ
DE LA ROSA and TORENO are exerting themselves
against the Government on the Project of Law for
fixing the future election of the Deputies, and regulat-
ing the elective franchise in Spain.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT SOMERSET-HOUSE.
—Yesterday morning, about two o'clock, us a man named
Ward, who had charge of an empty house in No.B, Somer-
set-place, was in the act of unlocking the area gate to enter
the house, he overbalanced himself, and fell down a fight of
steps about thirty feet, on his head. His groans having
been heard by a policeman, he procured a stretcher, and the
unfortunate man was forthwith taken to Cbaring-Cross
Hospital, but from the dreadful fracture of the skull, very
little hope is entertained of his recovery.
BRISTOL CORPORATION.— A meeting of our
wsw corporation was held yesterday, and at no previous
7.neeting of the body have subjects so important been intro-
duced, nor so large an extent of business gone through as
at this meeting ; and, notwithstanding the strong indica-
tion of Tory feeling manifested in the proceedings, we are
more than ever assured that the principle upon which the

che

thbhoeeaderyakt P

the municipal body ; but there is little to fear while so
watchful an eye is kept upon the entire proceedings by the
real representatives of the city, find by the public press._

ST. JAMES'S TIIEATRE.—A pleasant trifle in one
act, entitled My IVife and Child, was produced here last
night. The dramatis persona were the usual characters—
a prejudiced uncle, an amorous young gentleman, a willing
young lady, and a comic couple. Mitchell, Strickland, Miss
Horton, and Mrs. Garrick, played excellently, more espe-
cially the former ; and the piece was announced for repeti-
tion this evening, The other performances were The Wa-
tern:an, Monsieur Jacques, and The Man with the Carpet
Bag, They were all extremely well received.
The new Poor Law appears to work favourably for
the parish of Great Burstead, for although no harsh steps
have been taken with the poor in the Billericay Union, it is
a singular fact, that several paupers who belong to that
parish, and who have been regular attendants at the vestry
for years past, have never shown their honest faces to the
Board of Guardians who assemble there.—Chelmsford
Chronicle.

RAILWAY FROM LANCASHIRE TO GLASGOW.
—We understand that surveys have been made with a view
of connecting Liverpool and Manchester with the great
manufacturing district of Scotland.
The greater number of the Scotch counties are
blessed with Tory representatives of his Majesty ; and it
is well known that the honour conferred with the title of
Deputy has frequently been held out as a bait to attach
vain proprietors to the Conservatives' interests. No
sooner does a fortunate legatee, or successful tradesman or
merchant, purchase a few hundred acres of his native soil,
than he is promised an official situation ; and, as a natural

consequence, is bound to become the humble partisan of
the condescending aristocrat, who has advanced him a step
on the road of worldly honours. It is high time that the
representatives of his Majesty were deprived of this insi-
dious means of increasing the ranks of the opponents of his
Majesty's Ministers.--Aberdeen Herald.

STEAM NAVIGATION.—The St. George Steam-
packet Company's fine new vessel, the Hercules, fitted with
a pair of Mr. Samuel Hall's patent steam-engines of 180
horse-power, made an excursion of several hours on Wed-
nesday last for the purpose of proving the engines. The
trial was completely successful. The leading object of Mr.
Hall's invention appears to be the preservation of the
boilers from the injurious action of sea water, or water con-
taining earthy or saline matters, which occasion incrusta-
tions and the rapid corrosion of the boilers.—Liverpool
Standard.
Salmon . poachina has been carried on this season
most extensively and destructively.—Perth Paper.
We have a short answer for the Cheltenham Jour-
nalist. The Reformers of Birmingham did respond to our
call, by meeting on _Monday 10,000 strong. The facts
do not rest for proof on our mere assertion ; they are
known by every person. We shall not permit our vera-
city to be called in question by any contemporary, without
flinging back upon him the charge with scorn and contempt.

The Conservatives of East Worcestershire are upon
the qui vive system, in evident anticipation that the time is

not far distant when the present Parliament will be dissolved.

There is a report in town, which, we fear, is but too
well founded, of the death of Mr. J. C. Ramsden, the
Member for Malton.

The Carnarvon Herald, referring to a report of a
public dinner to celebrate the triumph of Reform in the
late municipal contest in the borough of Denbigh, says—
We believe there is an end to Tory domination not only in
that borough, but also in the county. The Denbighshire
Reformers possess that grand source of success—union.
The effects will be, that at the next general election, they
will send to the right-about the Tory Members, and re-
place them by sterling Reformers.
KENDAL TOWN COUNCIL.—We get on as well as
the best of our neighbours. Two or three very excellent
measures were adopted on Monday. The selling off of the
old rags and rubbish of the departed body was good. For
any benefit the old set ever did the town we see no reason
why a single memento should have been preserved to re-
mind another generation of the disgraceful fashion in which
their ancestors were wont to be ruled and ridden over.
The motion for an address to the King we highly approve
of.—Kendal Mercury.
LORD BANDON.—CouId any body suspect that
his Lordship would be so silly as gravely to • state his
conviction, that Mr. O'Connell is " one who would be
King, not only of Ireland, but of Great Britain also ?"
Yet, incredible as it may appear, the Noble Lord actually
made such a ridiculous statement ; and the equally silly
Tories who surrounded him received it with " tremendous
cheering." In the second place, will it be credited, that
his Lordship asserted, that the Church of England " fur-
nishes, unpaid, to the poor, in every quarter of the
country, the means of religious instruction ?" That the
Church of England does not accomplish what the Noble
Lord asserts she accomplishes, is proved by the fact,
that, were it not for the exertions of the Protestant Dis-
senters, not to mention those of the Roman Catholics,
myriads, perhaps millions of " the poor" would never so
much as hear of the Gospel : and that she does not furnish
what little of religious instruction the poor receive at her
hands " unpaid," is also proved by the fact, that she mono-
polizes one-tenth of the produce of the land, besides levying
a compulsory rate on all denominations, for the purpose of
enabling her to instruct " the poor" in religious truth, as
that truth is promulgated by the Church of ETT,land.—

many years since----as lotis, ago, we believe, as 1824
and was desetvay dcltrfired ;c:,'l. the unexaggerated
vivacity of its portraits, and theo,hasten6.:.! spirit of
many of its deSeriptionS. It is here repnbli:,ilved in one
volume, and is embeili4iful with a clever likering of
the author, Mr. Lister, and an 11bfrt trop of one of
the most dramatic scenes in the tale,—ligttMV,, the
interview between Granby and his cousin Tyrrell, 1,1!e
gambler, where the former prevails on the latter to
refund to a mutual friend, Courtenay, the money that
he had won unfairly of him, the night before, at
hazard. Altogether, the volume is got up in very
superior style.

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. PEARSON.

The LORD CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole morn-
