such a one demanded 500, and hardly obtained 50.
With the modest premium of 400 f, these 500 shares
represented a clear profit of 200,000 f. We know not to
what number these 500 shares was reduced when the
rusion took place between all the companies; but, what-
ever it was, there was always a profit of 400 f. per share.
This bait violently excited speculators; and can it be
believed that the name of Cunin Gridaine, pere, was
without influence in obtaining what it demanded for the
house of Sedan? Can it be believed that in this respect
the quality of Minister appeared indifferent? In what-
ever point of view we place ourselves, the official note
fully leaves the accusation in existence; and the words
of M. Guizot and M. Duchiltel fall like a heavy weight
on their colleague who calls himself Cunin Gridaine,
pere, at Paris, and Cunin Gridaine, pere et fils, at Sedan."
MM. CUBIERES„ TESTE, PAIIMENTIER, and PAL-
LEPRA were interrogated on Monday by M. le Presi-
dent LEGEGNEUR, one of the Commissioners appointed
by the Court of Peers to assist the Chancellor in
conducting the trial. It is reported that General
CUBIERES has made a statement to the CHANCELLOR
and M. PASSY which seriously implicates one of his
co-accused, and will completely establish the charge
of corruption against him.

Tranquillity has been completely restored at Alul-

Considerable gloom prevailed on the Paris Bourse, on
Tuesday, for which no political reason was assigned.

QUEEN'S, BENCV.-(THIS DAY.)
THE QUEEN V. THE REV. ER. RAMS Y.

This case, which was not concluded at the rising of
the court late last night, was resumed at the sitting of the
s 'ourt this morning. It was a criminal proceeding against
the defendant, at the instance of a married woman
named Emmerson, one of the choristers of St. Michael's
Church, Burleigh-street, Strand, of which the defendant
is the incumbent, for taking indecent liberties with her
in the vestry of the church, and also at her own residence.
The case is fully reported in another part of The Sun.
The court, as yesterday, was crowded to excess with
eager listeners, and although all females had been de-
sired to leave it during the proceedings, there were seve-
ral female auditors in the out-of-the-way corners of the
court. The Bishop of London, Archdeacon Sinclair, and
the Rev. Sir IL R. Dukinfield, the vicar of St. Martin's
parish, in which St. Michael's is situate, were on the
bench. Of course the generality of the evidence, as in
similar cases, is unfit for publication.

A great number of witnesses were called for the de-
fence, including several members of the choir and two
pew openers, and they concurred in stating that they
had never heard anything disadvantageous to the cha-
racter of the defendant, except the statements circulated
by Mrs. Emmerson. One witness, named James Clarke,
said, that when he was speaking in a favourable manner
of the character of Mr. Ramsay, Mrs. Emmerson re-
marked, " Oh, you do not know him as well as I do;"
and she added, that he had taken improper liberties with
her in the vestry, and she had told her husband of the
circumstance, but her husband did not think anything
the worse of Mr. Ramsay in consequence of it.
The trial is not expected to conclude to-day.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN RE ANDERSON.—TURF SPECULATIONS.

This insolvent, who was described as of Lodge-road,
Regent's-park, gentleman, came up for his final order.
Mr. Lewis, a solicitor, appeared on. account of a debt
of 24/., incurred for costs. Mr. Cooke appeared on
behalf of the insolvent.

___
His HONOUR, after hearing the case, said ho did not
consider it one in which he ought to refuse the final
order. The creditors had trusted the insolvent with
their eyes open, and knew the very precarious nature of
his avocation, as he was known to indulge largely in turf
speculations. A great portion of the debts arose from
legal expenses. There did not appear to him to have
been any fraud.
The final order was then granted. The debts were
above 5,0001.

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BuncriELL.
NirAVER V. SCOTT. '
au auLiva orougnt oy the plaintiff, who is a
surgeon at Bayswater, to recover the sum dB/. 10s. Gd.
for money lent.
Mr. Wordsworth appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Thomas for the defendant, who pleaded that he was nut
indebted.
It appeared from the evidence adduced on behalf of
the plaintiff that the defendant was the widow of a gen-
tleman who had, up to the time of his death, been a
partner with the plaintiff, and died in July, 1846, at
Brighton. At that time there was a debt of 3L 14s. due
for lodging. The defendant and her servant came up to
London, and borrowed 1/., and plaintiff afterwards went
down to Brighton and paid the bill for lodging. These
were the only items attempted to be proved, the others
were for hotel expenses, cab hire, money lent, &c. The
principal witness was a person named Murphy, who- said
that the money was got for some drink at the funeral.
Mrs. Scott came to London with him to get the money,
and when they got back they buried the deceased—in
four days. Plaintiff was down, and attended the funeral;
his solicitor, Mr. Bradley, was with him. The plaintiff's
son said plaintiff was a tenant to deceased. He did not
know that his father had entered a caveat at Doctors'-
commons against the wife taking out letters of adminis-
tration; did not know that he had acted as administrator,
or had been sued as executor.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said this was not a question
raised on the record, but if there had been any illegality
it was subject matter for inquiry at another Court.
(The penalty for administering to property without
taking out letters of administration is 1001.)
Mr. THOMAS said he was precluded from showing
that the plaintiff had acted as administrator, but he must
submit that the debt for lodging having been contracted
during the life-time of the husband, the defendant was
not liable. The tavern-keeper could not legally detain
the property.
The UNDER-SHERIFF was of opinion that if she could
ric.t get away her clothes till the account was paid, and
the money was advanced on that ground, it was a pay-
ment on her account.
Mr. Tnomes—Not if the plaintiff was acting as ex-
ecutor. The plaintiff took to the property, and if the
defendant had been sued as administratrix or executrix
the question would have been before the Court as to
whether she was or not. I must now leave it to the
jury to infer that the plaintiff had advanced as a partner
—whether he acted as administrator to his own wrong
is not the question.
The UNDER-SHERIFF—That question must be settled
elsewhere.
Mr. THOMAS then called on Mr. Bradley to give evi-
dence, but he objected, as he had not been subpoenaed ;
but the Under-Sheriff held that he was bound to give
evidence. The Learned Counsel then finally put it to
the Learned Under-Sheriff whether he was not entitled
to examine Mr. Bradley to show that plaintiff had acted
as executor.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said that was no answer in the
present case, and he considered the claim had been made
out for the 11. money lent and the 31. 14s. paid for rent.
The jury gave a verdict for 41. 14s.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
AN INCORRIGIBLE YOUNG THIEF.— Henry Ward, a
boy about twelve years of age, was charged with steal-
ing a pair of boots, the property of Mr. Wm. Ogle, boot
and shoe maker, of Chapel-street, somers•town.
It appeared that the prisoner was seen to take the
articles from the shop door, and when taken into custody
by a policemar, it was ascertained that he had only
come out of the House of Correction at eight o'clock that
evening, when the governor of the prison gave him six-
pence and a loaf of bread. When the policeman searched
him he found part of the bread upon him as well as the
sixpence.
Mr. COMBE, after commenting upon the little effect
his punishments seemed to have had upon bim, com-
mitted hint for trial at the Old Bailey.

MARLBRO%STREET--(THIS DAY.)
ALLEGED MURDER OF A MAN BY HIS WlPE.—Mary
Ann Maids, a poor, wretched-looking woman, with a
child in her arms, was placed before Mr. Bingham,
charged on suspicion of causing the death of Edward
James Maids, her husband, by stabbing him in the side
with a knife on Monday, the 28th ult., at No. 4, Tower.
street, Seven-dials.
Police Sergeant, 15 F, on being sworn, deposed that
about a quarter to six o'clock this morning he was on
duty in Seven-dials, and received information that a man
had been murdered, at No. 4, Tower-street. Witness
proceeded to the house, and made inquiries, but could
nut obtain any information of the circumstance. The
front door being open he entered the house, and pro-
ceeded up to the third floor front room. On knocking
at the door a man came out, and in answer to witness's
inquiries said, that no person had been murdered in that
house, but that a man had been carried to Charing-cross
Hospital, suffering from a seri,,us injury caused by an
accident. Witness went to the hospital, and was
informed that a man named Edward James
Maids was admitted on Monday evening last, nt half-
past
five, and that he was suffering from a wound in his
right side, supposed to have been inflicted with a knife,
and that he had died from the effects of that wound yes-
terday morning. Witness upon hearing that returned to
No. 4, Tower-street, and went up stairs and entered the
third floor front room, where he saw the prisoner in the
act of dressing herself. Witness retired outside till the
prisoner had completed her attire, and on entering the
room again, she was in the o,ct of drinking something
