"In the practical information it conveys, My Note Book' dif-
fers not only from the ' Recollections' (Beckford's), but from all
other impressions of travelling. Upon this point, indeed, it might
advantageously compete with any of the books of travels. The
number, the animation, and the vigour of its sketches of men,
manners, scenes, and the vivacity of the statistics themselves, seem
to fix its position in the class where it is placed."—London and

QUEEN- S QUARE.

John Simmonds, the man who has been in custody for up-
wards of a week, charged with a very distressing robbery on
a poor Irish girl, was yesterday placed at the bar for re-ex-
amination. The prosecutrix on this occasion did not appear,
but from the character of the prisoner's friends, who came
forward, there is very little doubt some compensation had
been made to her, which bad induced her to withhold her
evidence. The prisoner was discharged.

the former on a charge of stealing a truss of hay, the pro-

perty of his master, and the latter of receiving the on'

THEATRES.

THE KING'S
One of the most numerous assemblages of rank and ashlers
of the season was collected last night, to witness the repre-
sentation of Bellini's Puritani, and the splendid ballet el
Benyowskg.. The Duchess of Kent, and the Princess Vial-
ria occupied their usual box. The Puritani appears undirell'
nished in attraction, and was enthusiastically applauded fro
beginning, to end, and the customary encores were bestownl
on the "bA to o cara," the polacca " Suoni la trombap 13

They were all called for at the conclusion of the opera,
warmly cheered. One contremens during the perform
gave rise to much merriment. Between the second and t"tiey
acts the curtain was suddenly drawn up, discovering ei
collection of people on the stage, many not being in costf.-si_
and others, perhaps, only making their debut, rushed 011 let
multaneously. After a little delay the act drop was again ma
down, till raised in due course. It was presumed that soot
wag had rung the managerial bell prematurely. The gr
majority of the audience stopped for the ballet.

DRURY-LANE.

There being a wide breach, at present, in the ran3Pa"
high tragedy, constant attempts are made to carry it by "
ousill-starred forlorn hopes, whose failures we have the Il
i,
lancholy duty to witness. The latest attempt of this histrile
valour, without its better part—discretion, took
night at this Theatre, when a gentleman named Paumier, fwof
the Theatre Royal, Cork, made his appearance in the ear:a.
Hamlet. In person Mr. Paumier is tall and slender ; his fly,
tures are too small for stage effect, and he, consequefi_ce
seems to find it necessary to resort to an habitual extraver.lloi.
of expression, which approaches grimace, in the more bole,

mated parts of the character. His performance, on the liar
impressed us with the idea that he had been but little far:tutor,
with the stage, either as an actor, or even as a aPee.tatbe
His exits were generally tame, and he walked the stage in un.
most i.rresolute manner possible. While he

upon the plaintiff about one o'clock, and the terms being
then agreed upon, both parties immodiately went to Mr.
Hilditch, the plaintiff's solicitor, why drew up a written
agreement between them, which state the purchase money
to consist of a sum of .5004, paid by way of deposit, and
a further sum of 7,5004 to be paid at a future day. Some-
time after Mr. Watson, the solicitor of the defendant, pre-
pared a more formal agreement, whiclf stated the purehaso-
money at 8,000/. When this wu.s road over to the plain-
tiff, for the purpose of obtaining his signature to it, he de-
clared there was a great mistqke, and that he bad not
agreedjo give more than 7,000.1. It appeared that the
plaintiff Was a very old man, betveen 83 and 84 years of
age, and it was alleged he was very deaf, or hard cf hear-
ing. He now filed.this bill, alleging the.t Rogers had taken
advantage of this 'infirmity, and had induced Hilditch to in-
sert 7,500 L, instead of 6,5001.
His HoNoun gave judgment. As the bill charged a
case of fraud which was not proved. and as no relief was re-
quired in the event of ;;he agreement remaining unaltered,
the bill must be dismissed with costs.

THE LATE BARRY O'MEARA.--Tlic announce-
ment of the Sale by Auction of this Gentleman's effects drew
together a large concourse of people at his late residence,
No. 16, Cambridge-terrace, Edgeware-road, this morning,
their curiosity being of course excited by the several curious
relics of Napoleon Buonaparte, and unique as well as valuable
presents made to O'Meara, by various distinguished individuals.
We understand that several bets have been made as to the
price that Napoleon's tooth and handwriting will produce, the
last named item being a confidential communication to Prince

CHATEAUBRIAND'S VIEW OF ENGLISH LITE-
RATURE.—The Literary World, in particular, will no doubt be
extremely curious to see this forthcoming new work from the
pen of the wri'.er who enjoys the highest literary reputation in
France. The author says in his preface, " I have visited the
United States; I have lived eight years an exile in England;
after residing in London as an Emigrant, I have returned
thither as Ambassador. I believe that lam as thoroughly
acquainted with English as a man can be with a language
foreign to his own, and have read most conscientiously all that
it was my duty to read on the subject discussed in these two
volumes."

FRENCH CLAIMS.

A meeting of claimants under the conventions entered
into by the French and English Governments, for indem-
nifying the subjects of the latter for losses sustained by
them, by the confiscation of British property in France, in
1793, was held yesterday, at the British Coffee House,
Cockspur-street. The Hon. W. Spencer Ponsonby, M.P.,
in the Chair.

The nature of the claims was explained to the meeting
in a written statement, which was read by the Secretary.
This document traced their origin from the first confisca-
tion of British property and debts in France by the French
in 1793, through the various conventions by which their
losses were recognised, money set aside, and actually paid
for their discharge by the French to the British Govern-
ment, to the last acts of the Treasury with respect to the
distribution of these funds. The present claimants con-
sisted of those or their representatives who had been
shut out by the shortness of time from originally putting
forward their claim, but the justice of which has been ac-
knowledged by successive Governments. The meeting
agreed to the following resolutions, which explains the ob-
jects it had in view :
" That this meeting, consisting of various claimants, or
their representatives, on the unappropriated residue of the
funds provided by the Government of France for the li-
quidation of the claims of British subjects, feels called
upon to express its dissatisfaction at the manner in which
the claims on that residue have hitherto been dealt with.
That whilst the minute of' the Lords of his Majesty's
Treasury of the 15th of March, 1833, led the claimants to
expect that a just and equitable distribution of the said
residue was about to be made without loss of time ;
more than three years have now elapsed, in which little
has been done, further than to wrest the terms of the
said minute from their fair construction, and to disappoint
the just hopes and expectations of the claimants in almost
every case that has been brought under consideration. That
a petition to the House of Commons be presented, con-
veying the foregoing resolutions, with a view to obtain a
Select Committee to investigate the subject and all mat-
ters connected' therewith."

The petition was then read and agreed to. And the
Hon. Chairman undertook to present it forthwith, Mr.
M‘Kinnon having given notice of a motion, to inquire into
these claims, for to-morrovr night, upon the House going
into a Committee of Supply. A vote of thanks was then
passed to the Hon. Chairman for his ccnduct in the chair,
and the meeting separated. It was stated that near
200,000/. of the fund is still unappropriated.

THE FUNDS.

Yesterday was the settling day in Consols, which, passed
off well. This is the settling day of the Foreign Account ;
and the brokers and jobbers are chiefly occupied in arranging
their differences. It is also pay day. The extreme fluctua-
tion during the account in Spanish Active is about 2 per
cent. ; in Portuguese Stock about 2to 21 per cent. ; the
difference being not to a great extent, it is expected eke ac-
count will pass off well.
Consols opened this morning at 911 91a for the Account
Ex. dividend: for Money, 91i1 3, ; Exchequer Bills, 11 13 ;
India Bonds, 1 disc. 1 premium ; Bank Stock, 212 2121;
India Stock, 259- 2601.
In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active are steady at 40a
owing to their coming a little higher from Paris ; Passive,
12-k 13A- ; Differed, 181- 18i ; Colombian, 30130, ; Mexican,
311; Dutch Two and a Half per Cents., 56i 56t.
The Express from Paris brings a report of another attcrirpt
on the life of the King of France, to which little credit is at-
tached. There are accounts of sanguinary disturbances at
Figueras ; but no news of the least importance from the at -
mies in the North of Spain.

lIALt-PAST ONE.
Although we do not hear at present of any further arrivals;
from the Peninsula, the Spanish market is very heavy. Spa-.
nish Active, which was in the course of the morning 40

EXHUMATION OF ALIBEAUD.

The Droit gives an account of the exhumation of the
body of Alibeaud, which had been put into the fosse destined
for persons executed, and covered with only a small
quantity of earth. A demand to that effect had been pre-
sented to the Prefect of Police by M. Ledru, who had
been authorised by Alibeaud before his condemnation to
take care of his burial, and after some difficulty, was ac-
ceded to, on condition that the relatives of the deceased
alone, accompanied by M. Ledru, should assist at the re-
moval of the body ; and that this ceremony should take
place as soon as the gates of the cemetery were opened.
At live o'clock on Tuesday morning, a Commissary of Po-
lice and M. Ledru, accompanied by M. and Madame
Leger, cousins of Alibeaud, were at the cemetery. A
brigade of police-officers, en bourgeois, occupied the en-
trance, and were round the grave. The gravediggers took
the corpse out, and, having stripped it, put it in a winding-
sheet. The head had not been placed in the fosse ; the
porter of the cemetry had kept it by order of the Commis-
sary of Police. It was placed in the coffin, and the Com-
missary of Police then caused M. and Madame Leger, with
M. Ledru, to approach, in order to recognise the remains
of the deceased. A distressing scene then took place. The
face of Alibeaud was hardly at all altered ; his long hair
thrown back, left his forehead exposed ; and his eyes, though
dim, seemed still to look round. His lips were firmly
pressed together, and his countenance had a look of pride
upon it. M. Ledru asked for permission to cut off a
lock of his hair, to send to his parents. This was granted
by the Commissary of Police, who requested that the
clothes might be put into the coffin, lest they might become
objects of scandal. M. Ledru only retained the black silk
handkerchief that Alibeaud had worn. After the closing,
of the coffin the bearers of it set out for the cemetery of
Mont Parnasse ; some sergens de yille led the way, and
several were ranged on each side. M. Ledru followed
immediately after, and then M. and Madame Leger, with
the Commissary of Police. The coffin was lowered into the
grave amidst profound silence, the earth thrown upon it, and
a proces-verbal of the exhumation immediately drawn up
and signed.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

II ALT-PAST T IV EL VE.

Our arrivals this morning are the French and Ostend
mails ; with ship letters from Mauritius and Canton.- A
Lisbon mail has also arrived by the Nautilus—sailed on
the Bth of May.
In the French papers, received this morning by express,
we find the following report prevailing at the salons in
Paris :

‘. They talk to-day in the Chambers and in the political
circles of great disturbances at Madrid—that two of the
Procuradores were killed ; but we do not knOw from whence
this intelligence comes: At six o'clock this eveninr, Go-
vernment had not received any telegraphic despatch from
Bayonne."

A courier frqm St. Pctersburgh arrived at Paris onWed-
nesday, bringing despatches from the French Ambassador
there, as well as for Prince Demidoff. He perfornied the
journey with great rapidity. It is supposed the despatches
are of great importance, as they were instantly for-
warded to the Palace, and a Council was held immediately
afterwards.

The express from Paris brings accounts from Constanti-
nople of May 4, stating that 32,000 Russians had entered
Silistria. This caused great excitement in that capital ;
but the Russian ambassador positively assured the Porte
that it was their intention to retreat again.
_ _

The private letters received by the Lisbon mail this
morning; although not of so late a date as previously re-
ceived, are still worth noticing. They state that the disaf-
fection in the provinces has at length openly manifested
itself. A Miguelite conspiracy has at length broken out
in the province of Tras os Montes, headed by Manuel
Suraez de Albuquerca, a Portuguese of rank, who has a
considerable number of partizans. He has strongly forti-
fied himself in a villa called Rede, and held out against all
the forces sent against him ; and it was feared he would be
joined by others of the Miguelite party, who were expected
to rise simultaneously in other provinces.

OURT OF EXCHEQUER. THISDAY •

REX V. LORD CREWE.
Mr. MANNING, on the part of the Crown, moved
Loral
writ of seizure against the property of the late
Crewe. It appeared that the Treasurer for the County
of Oxford had become a defaulter to the Government to
the• amount of '22,000/., for which sum the Government
had issued an extent against the property of a bank (the IWO
did not appear)in which the defaulter was a partner--nmongst
the assets was -found a bond from the late Lord Crewe.
He was then out of the country, and remained out of it
till his death, so that the instrument could not be put irt
force. The Noble Lord was now dead, and unless the
Crown obtained the writ, the creditors would come in and
take all the property. The application was almost a mat-
ter of course, and the rule was generally absolute in the first
instance. In the present case that was absolutely neces-
sary, or the Cron would be defrauded.
Rule granted and made absolute in the first instance.
London, England, 1836-05-27

EXPARTE GEASON.

The ATTORNEY-GENELAT moved for a habeas corpus
to bring up the body of Geason, and a certiorari to remove
the cause of his detention into this Court. The object of
the application was that he might give bail on a charge of
forgery. The affidavits on which the motion was founded
stated that the applicant had been an excise officer at Sa-
lisbury, that his conduct had given the greatest satisfaction
to his superiors, and that he had been promoted to a higher
office, and had been directed to remove to a station in his
native county of Sligo. O❑ his way thither he passed
through Bristol, and there he sold an old horse of his for
101. ; be sold it to a person who was an utter stranger to
him, and received a 101. in change. The note turned out
to be a forgery, and he was apprehended on the charge.
The Excise Office was fully convinced he was innocent of
the charge.
The COURT granted the rule.
THE KING V. BLACK.

In this case a rule was obtained last term, calling on the
defendants, proprietors and printers of the IMrning Chro-
nicle newspaper, to show cause why a criminal information
should not be filed against them for a libel on Messrs. Kelly
and Dundas, late Members for Ipswich. The alleged libel
consisted. in the publication of several affidavits made by
Pilgrim and othds.
Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK this morning moved to make
the rule absolute.
Mr. Ilia, for the defendants, complained of this motion
being thus early pressed on.
A short discussion ensued, after which
Lord DENMAN directed the motion to stand °vet. until
the last Thursday in term.

The Univers ReNveux relates, that last week the
Bishop of Meaux having come to Ferrieres to hold a confirma-
tion, the scat of Baron Rothschild, who is gone to. Germany,
was placed at his disposal, and at the church he found a hand-
some cross, six rich candlesticks, and three beautiful chasubles,
all presents from the Baron, who has lately had the parsonage,
thoroughly repaired at his expense, and daily bestows alms
through the medium of the rector
