India Company and his Majesty's Attorney-General."
Messrs. Tinney and Pemberton addressed their Lordships
for the appellants. The case arose of the will of Major-
General Claude Martin, who, at his death, among other
property, was possessed of real estate of the nature of free-
hold propefty, situate in the town of Calcutta. The Su-
preme Court, by a decree dated 23d Februry, 1832, had
declared in effect that the testator at the time of his death,
being an alien, the said real estate devolved on his Majesty
in virtue of his prerogative royal. Against this decree, and
also other previous decrees'and orders, the present appeal
was brought. At the conclusion of Mr. Pemberton's ad-
dress the Court adjourned.

majority of 60 to 3 the Project of Law concerning crimes
and offences committed by Belgians in foreign countries.
DEC. I.—On the 29th of Nov., the Poles at Brussels
met together at a dinner in the Roche,' de Cancale. Seve-
ral speeches, that of M. Lelewel, made a great impression
on his countrymen, and the greatest sympathy prevailed
among them. There were 44 persons present.
We learn from the Hague, that it was not without rea-
son that fears were entertained for the fate of the Schevenen-
gen 6sliing-hoats. Two of these boats had returned to
Kalivyk, after encountering the greatest danger. No ac-
counts have been received of 30 others; most of which are
gone to the herring fishery.
BRUSSELS, DEC. 2.—We hear that, on the day of the
hurricane, there was a terrible fire at Grand Bourg (in the
district of Charleroy), which in a short time destroyed a
great number of houses.
An Englishman of the name of Tiddy, having offered
Bibles for sale, became the subject of the periecution of
our intolerant priests
(says the (Journier Beige). They de-
nounced him in their sermons, invoking popular vengeance
on him. Yesterday, accordingly, he -was attacked and
pelted with stones by about a hundred ragamuffins, but was
able, by the aid of a Commissary of Police, to return to
his inn. Mr. Tiddy has since called at our office. He
confirmed the above particulars, and said, that though he
is aware that the sale of all kind of hooks is permitted in
Belgium, and has Bibles for the different Christian com-
munities, he has, however, only offered for sale the New
Testament, according
.to the Catholic version, except to
persons who expressly applied for them. He has left at
our office two copies of the books which he publicly
offered for sale here ; one is Le Nouveau Testament, by
Lemaistre de Sacy, and the other Nieuvre Testanzent, which
has been so many times reprinted in this country, the last
edition, of 1836, by Ode and Wodon, of Brussels, with the
approbation of several signatures of the Catholic Church.
On applying to the Magistrates for protection, Mr. Tiddy
received for answer, " We can protect you as long as you
are here in the Town-hall, but the safest way for you will
be to quit the city as soon as possible."
The journals contain long and affecting details of the
damage done by the hurricane of the 29th.
