Tile application to the Company w is not made, as
has been erroneously represented by Prince Louis him-
self; or by any one known to be connected with him, or
professing to act for him, or on his b ,half. It pr)ceeded
from a gentleman of the name of Rapello, a member, as
is unlerstood, of the Stock Exchange, whose house of
business is in An.,el-court, Throgmorton-street, and the
-Icorl was engaged for the professed object of taking a
party of his friends on an excursion in the Cnannel and
along the English coast.

The Directors hope and believe that any such dis-
claimer on their part is unnecc•sary. They feel as-
sured that the French people will be too just to impute
to them any connivance or participation, howev,r re-
mote, in this treacherous and base attempt to disturb
the peace of a friendly nation. It is less to convince
the people of France than to satisfy their own feelings
that they make this public declaration. To the autho-
rities and inhabit ants of Boulogne in parti:ular, from
whom the Company has received so much encourage.

Louis. Napoleon had for sonic time previous to his
mad attempt at Boulogne, been residing in this country.
He first lived for neatly a year and a half at No. 17,
C irlton-terrace, Pall-mall, and subsequently, up to lost
Tuesday, occupied a furnished house belonging to Earl
Worm, No. 1, Carlton-gardens.

is stated to be a remarkably fine-lonking man. About
the time above spoken of his name was also identified in
the public press of this country wish an intended duel
with a person claiming to be an illegitimate son of the
late Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, but which was pre-
vented by the interference of the police ; soon after
which he complained to the police authorities that he
anticipated an attempt to assassinate him would be made,
in c,nsequ :nee of which the neighbourhood of a cottage
between Camden-town and St. John's-wood, where the
Prince frequently called, was watched by the police.
For some weeks lately numerous strangers (foreigners)
hive been observed at the residence of the Prince, who
are now suppoz -ed to have been the individuals who ac-
companied him to aiulogne.

the p'atuiffs discovered this alleged piracy was a suffi•
cient lemon to induce the Court not to grant the in=

The MASTER of the ROLLS said that he thought
the application h .d not been mule in proper time, and,
therefore, he should refuse to grant the injunction but
without costs.

FROII THE WANING PAPERS or THIS DAT.
( From the Morning Chronicle.)
The rapidly improving moral aspect of Ireland suffi
ciently assures us that a few years truce to political dis-
Seitsiont and- asperities,. together with sufficient security
against a return to foolish and fatal principles of Govern.
merit, could not fail to advance that country far in the
process of approximation to a state of pert, et health and
order. The assizes centinue to present us with the most
gratifying proofs or popeler improvemeet. The gaols are
as empty of prisoners, as the whiskey-shops of cestemers.
The judges take their merry rounds through the provicces,
more like tourists on rambles of pleasure, than officers of
justice in pursuit of crime. " Where ate the criminals ?"
asked the judge at \Yaterf rd ?" and " echo answered—
Where ?" The same question was put again at Limerick,
and again the vacant cells of prison and bridewell made the
same response. - The gaolers stood to receive the judges
of assize with their rusty keys in their girdles, like
Ignaro in the Facry Queen :—" And still the answer
was—he could not tell." At Limerick there was a eaten
dar of one prisoner. We believe it was a case of robbing
a hen-roost. Imagine two er,nined judges sent down from
Diblin armed with the Queen's commission to try Paddy
O'Raflerty fur the larceny of a gasling ! There is nothing
to match this but the scene in one of O'Esefe'e farces,
where few French footmen enter carrying oirc band-box,
Au obvious evil of temp: melee societies, Whig principles,
and Lord Einington's regime, is to lead to an utter ohlF-
vien ef the study and ,naelice of criminal law. A few
more such circuits, and there will scarcely be a judge
on the the bench equal to the trial of a pickpocket,
or an advocate at the bar equal to his defence. This
may possibly be the teasel, that has influenced the
.Magistrates in some counties to send a variety of
petty cases to A=slzes, which, on the vulgar principles
of justice and humanity, should have been summa-
rily disposed of at Quarter or Petty Sessions. Mr.
Sergeant Mo re observed at Nenagh—" That he was
sorry to perceive on the calendar large batches of persons
charged with offences which ought to have been tried by
the Assistant Barristers." We have no doubt whatever
but that Mr. Moore would have been rejoiced to have
found as little to do at Nsnagii as he found at Waterford ;
but the Tipperary Magistrates ,nisely argued. that if Mr.
Howley has all the criminal business, he must have also
all th•• criminal law ; and accordingly. witti a becoming

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

IMME GinGUl7'—GuiLDFonn, Auo. 8.
(Before Lord ABINGER and a Special Jury.)
INGRAM V. COLLIER.

This was an action brought, nominally, by the plain-
tiff, ai the occupier of a house in White-street, South-
wark, against the defendant, who is an opulent mer-
chant, aod
the proprietor of several large establish-
ments in Southwark, for having carried onthe business
of e soap boiler near the plaintiff's residence.
Sir W Follett, who was specially retained, with-
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. James, conducted the defen-
dant's case. Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Platt, Sergeant Chan-
nel!, and Mr. Fortescue, appeared for the plaintiff.
Mr. TI-lE6IGER addressed the Jury, and said that
the p-esent proceeding was instituted by a gentleman
named Patterson, who was the landlord of a number of
hoists in the neighbourhood of White-street, South-
wark, the plaintiff, Ingrem, being merely one of the
tenants, and having received the greatest annoyance and
inconvenience. The Learned Counsel then proceeded
to state that the defendant bad thought proper to esta-
blish a soap manufactory upon this spot, from which
the most annoying smells arose, and which was 'sally
ii.jurious to the health of the whole of the neighbour-
hood. The Learned Counsel then, amidst much
laughter, said that he believed th..t the defence that
would be set up was that the spot in question
was dedicated to " stinks" of almost every des-
cription, and he believed that it would be
also said that the soap-holing business, and the smells
connected with it, were in reality most grateful to the
senses, and advantageous to the health of all within its
vicinity ; and likewise, tha' even supposing it to be a
nuisance, that there were other much greater nuisances
in the same neighbourhood. Supposing that this, how-
ever, were ready the ease, he apprehended that would
be no cause for the defendant in introducing a fresh one.
Lord ABINGER said the law was quite clear upon
that point. If it was proved that a great many
ialisances existed in a neighb .urhood, it was a greater
reas,m why a fresh one should not be brought to it.
Mr. THESIGER, after some further observations to the
Jury, proc,cdou to adduce his evidence, and upwards of
thirty witness,s were examined, Who spoke to the cha-
racter of the nuisance complained of. They described
the smells as most abominable, and said that they created
nausea, vertigo, &c. ; and also that they were unable
lo keep any food upon their stomachs in consequence
of them. The, case of the plaintiff was not concluded
on Friday when the case commenced, and it was ad-
journed till Saturda;, when a number of other witnesses
were examined, and among theril were medical men,
who expressed their opinion that the smells were un-
healthy. and likely to cause illness.
Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT then addressed the Jury, in
a speech which occupied upwards of three hours. The
Learned Counsel said he should he able to show that
the alleged nuisance had been altogether exaggerated ;
that the neighbourhood in question had always been
occupied by manufactories of this unpleasant character ;
and that, so fir as the s)ap-making business itself was
concerned, it was in reality a most healthy business, and
that the smells connected with and issuing from it were
not at all disagreeable, and that no injury would arise
from them.
Several witneses havim, been examined, who ex-
pressed an opinion in accotd wee with the statement of
the Learned Counsel, and there being no probability of
the cause being concluded in a reasonable f me, the
Court adjourned until Monday the further hearing of
the evidence.

it being a rule that no plea, puis darrein continuance, shall
be allowed unless the subject matter of it west: after the
time for pleading, and within eight Jays of the time of the
application ; and on the face of this affidavit it appeared
that this arose before the declaration in this action was de-
livered. It was now urged strongly against the defendant,
that this affidavit showed his consciousness of guilt—that
he admitted the fact of Cook having been bribed by hav-
ing himself proceeded against him fir the penalties in-
curred by this very transaction. That if that action was a
bona fide one Mr. Coppock had no right now to canal:dein
of the severity of this penal statute which he himself en-
forced, arid if collusive, only furnished irresistible evidence
that he needed the protection which he thought that ver-
dict would give him. Tilley underwent a long, severe,
and searching cross-examination by Mr. Sergeant Ludlow,
but nothing was elicited to shake his testimony lie de-
posed positively to having received the three id. notes
from the bands of Coppock himself.
Before entering on the defence, Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW
tied Mr. WHATELEY argued that the plaintiff, having proved
that in the action against Cook Mr. Coppock had re-
covered judgment against the plaintiff, had answered his
own case, as, by virtue of the 2.1 George 11., c. 24. Mr,
Coppock was, by the conviction of Cook (the dises serer
ot Cook having been bribed) and thus was discharged (sour
the penalties he might have himself incurred.
The Learned JUDGE observed, that if Mr. Sergeant •
Ludlow could obtain the opinion of the Court above to that
effect, be should then have liberty to enter a nonsuit against
the plaintiff.
Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW then proceeded to comment
upon the testimony of Tilley, which had not been sup-
ported by the evidence of any others, and was of itself ot a
suspicious character, as proceeding from one who was !in-
peaching his own party, and confessing that Le had origin.

The Jury at four o'clock retired to consider their ver-
dict, remaining in deliberation for three hours, vrhen they
returned into Court and found a verdict ft,r the defendant.
In about ten minutes the Jury sent a message to Mr.
Ju.tice Williams that they wished to see him.- • On their
return to Court the Foreman informed the Judge that ne
I aced they could not agree upon their ve!dict, half the
Jury being one vk ay and half the other. One of the
Jury immediately said, " My 1.-)rd, we arc sewn for the
defendant and five for the pl,rint,tf." The I. 'arir,:qi•Ju,tge

disappointed at the failure of their proeccution.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT—CARList.E, Acc 7.
SEDUCTION.—DALTON V. EMBANKS
This was an action to recover ciamag, s from the defers-•
dent, on account of tLe seduction by him of the plaintiff's
sister.

Margaret Dalton, a well but modestly drecced young
woman, was then placed in the witnns-box. Sire stated.
that from the time of her mother's death she bad livid with
the plaintiff, her brother William, as his housekeeper. In the
month of October, 1835, she accompanied him to Pero kb,
where the Yeomanry Cavalry were assembled for training.
They stopped at the house of a Mr. Bell, who had married
a cousin of hers. On the 19th of October they all went
to a dance, and there she met the defendant, who danced
with her, and paid her marked attention. After the dance
he accompanied her to Mr. Bell's. On the following Sun-
day evening the defendant paid her a visit st her brother's
house at Clayburn. He stayed about two hours. He said
he would come over once a month. He afterwards came
about so often to her brother's. Sometimes she raw him
alone, at other times with the family. He said he wished
to marry, and she made no objection to it. In 1837 she
became pregnant by the defendant, arid in February. 1838
was delivered of a ebi:d. The cktendant is now 45, and
she is 26. Her share of her father's property, which
came t) her on her mother's death, amounted to 7001.
Defendant knew of this.
On er;,sF-examination she admitted having sat on de-
fendant's knee at public-houses; that she bad been with
him at these houses in a bed- room ; and that she had let
him in at night, when the firmly had retired, to her
brother's house, where she was residing.
On re-examination she said she had misunderstood the
meaning of the terms used on her cross-examination, and
that no impropriety bad taken plzee beta cen them before
April, 1837.
Mr. RAUSHAY, for the defendant, submitted that the
whole of the evidence showed that she was ready at the
first opportunity to abandon herself to the embraces of the
defendant. It was nothing more than a miserable attempt
to extort money from the defendant, and he thought the
smallest coin of the realm would be a sufficient cumpen-

satior.
His LORMIIIP, in summing up the case, pointed out its
circumstances, saying, that if the profltgaey pretended by
the defendant was not proved, it could but tend to enhance
the damages against him.
The Jury retired for a few minutes, and returned with a
verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 2501.

FATAL AND MELANCHoLY ACCI-
DENT ON THE RIVER.

Oa Saturdity afternoon a most distressing occurrence
took place on the river close to London-bridge, by which
three fine children, two gir-s and a boy, met with a watery
grave. The circumstances of this melancholy event,
which has caused much regret in the city, are as follow.
About half-past I o'cl..ek in the afternoon, Mr. Saward,
the Secretary of the Promoter Assurance-office, of No. 9,
Chathaiii-,4?lacc, Blackfriars-bridge, accompanied by Mrs.
Saward, their four children, a nurse, and two other
female servants, hired a wherry of a Waterman named
Wes., Bleckfriar',..bridge, for the purpose of proceeding
to the Gent, a Gravesend steamer, lying at the Loudon-
bridge wharf. The waterman, .on reaching London-
bridge, rowed through the first arch on the city
s'de, where the ebb tide was running down like a sluice,
and the force of the current drifted the head of tl.cs
wherry against the gangway ladder on the starboard side
of the Gent, which caused the boat to slew round, and it
went under the paddle-box. The females in the boat
were alarmed, and rose from their seats, and the boat,
which was a very small one, immediately filled, and toe
whole party were immersed in the water, which was much
agitated at the time, owing to several steamers having
just before passed. A scene of the greatest confusion en-
sucd. The watern ea put off in their boats flora all quar-
ters to the assistance 'of the untortunate sufferets,
who were struggling and screaming in the water,
and the people in the steamer rendered all the aid in
their power. Mr. and Mrs. Saward, and two of the fe-
male servants, were taken out of the water alive, and the
nurse, who clung fast to the child, which she held in heir
arms, was saved by the courageous . fforts of a g( lemart
who saw the accident from the wharf, and after handing his
coat and watch to a ft lend, plunged into the liver and saved
both. The waterman clung to the wheel when the boat
capsized, end was taken on tom d the steam. r. The three
children of Mr. and Mrs. Saward; the tldest a boy only
e:ght years old, were carried by the stream under the vessel,.
and whether they ever rose to the surface again is not
known, but certain it is they perished, in spite if the most
persevering efforts made to save them. A number of men
in six.boats were immediately engaged to drag for the
bodies of the children, but ...hey have not yet been found.
Mr. and Mrs, Saward, with their servants and infant child;
were taken ashore in a very exhausted state. They loud
shelter at the Mitre publlc-house on Fish-stree -hillovbere
the attention acid humanity displayed by Mr. W.lter, the
landlord and his wife, arc deserving of the greatest praise-,
Mr. Walter obliged Mr. Saward with the loan of' a suit of
clothes, while his nife arid barmaid were attending uporr
Mrs. Saward and her three servants. Dr. Croft, a surgeon-
of Arthur-street, was in attendance on the females until
seven o'clock, when they were conveyed in a hackney-
coach to Cnatham-place. It is said hat some blame at-
taches to the waterman, and that lie ought to have gone
through the second arch, and brought his boat's head upon
the tide when he approached the Gent, by which the acci-
dent might have been avoided. It is but right, however,
to state that West is a waterman cf great skill, at.d of
twenty years' experience on the river; bu', if his boat had
been a larger and a stouter one, she would not have cap-
sized 23 easily.

_EVENING EDITION.

RIOTS AT A TORY DINNER

AT BILSTON.

(PROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)

BILSTON, SATURDAY EVENING.

The Tories of Bilston and its neighbourhood partook
of a dinner together in this town, but the proceedings
were summarily put a stop to by the violence of a mob.
The following are the particulars :
Soon after dark, during the time the early speeches
were delivered, there were beard at intervals frequent
vollies of groans and hissing, together with the beating
of pans, tkc. No notice was taken of this, nor was any
violence offered by the moh, until P. Williams, Esq.,
and several friends left the room, which was during the
delivery of the speech of Mr. G. B. Thorneycrcft,
When Mr. Williams and others returned to the room,
several brickbats and cinders having been hurled at
them, the President, addressing the meeting, said
that as there appeared to he a disposition
to create a breach of the peace, on the part
of the mob collected outside the gates, he thought
it would be advisable for them all to separate
quietly. This caused considerable confusion, as the vast
assemblage in the room did not seem to concur in the
plan recommended by their President, who then said, if
they chose to stay they must appoint a fresh Chairman,
as ha eould not, consistently with his duty as a Mag:s
trate sworn to keep the peace, remain longer in that
situation, and it would be his duty rather to appease
than aggravate a mob. Mr. Thorneycroft then steppe
for;vard and said, that he hoped they would not be driven
away by a noisy mob. They were met there, as English-
men had a right to do, namely, to express their opinion,
end if they chose to stay he would stay with them as their
Chairmen, yet he fully concurred in the remarks made by
Mr. Briscoe, that it would be much better for him as
a Magistrate to leave the chair. Mr. Thorneycroft
then took the chair. Viscount Ingestrie and many
others left the room, and arrived, after being well
hooted and groaned at, a the King's Arms Inn. Not
more than a quarter of an hour had elapsed before the
mob become so outrageous as to defy the police force.
Mr. Thorneycroft and another party left the room,
and as they were on their way to the King's Arw.s,
Thorneycroft, Mr. Thames Cross, Mr. John
Foster, and G. PhilpOtts, Esq. (son of the Bishop of
Exeter), Mr. H. P►tt, Mr. T. Spencer, and several
others were struck at, and serious wounds were in-
flicted with bludgeons and broken cinders. The mob
then attacked the police, and made themselves masters
of the room, which they stripped of all its beautiful deco-
rations, some they trampled under foot, others they tore
into shreds, and some were carried away, together with
the table-covers, wine, &c. Several casks of the
ale and wine were forced open and thrown away, and
but few articles remained. Information was then
brought to Ale King's Arms, where Messrs. Briscoe and
Williams were swearing in special constables, that a
portion of the mob had armed themselves with pieces of
heavy timber, taken from the benches, whilst others
were preparing to fire the canvas ; and this would have
been accomplished, had not a body of the police and
special constables, headed by P. Williams, Esq., and
under the command of Mr. Superintendent Ray. ar-
rived, when the rioters made off. About thirteen ware
taken, and have been committed to Stafford Qearter
Sessions. The police and special constables were fre-
quently obliged to march and re-march, in order to pro-
tect the persons employed in taking down the canvas,
as it was dangerous for any persons to be alone. Several
persons were wounded, particularly one of the police,
who was carried from the market-place insensible. The
damage done to the property of the respective inn-
keepers is considerable. Up to this evening the town
is quiet.
