gence of a much later date than the preceding—viz.,
up to the 4th inst., and which is even of a more
serious character. It is to the effect that all the po-
pulation was emigrating, and that out of 60,000 in-
habitants, not 10,000 remained in the city. The
Consuls had struck their flags, and the members of
the Consulates who had not been able to obtain coun-
try houses had established themselves in tents, in en•
trenched positions, protected by a little river. All
the country houses, farms, and villages, in the neigh-
bourhood of the city, had been transformed into cita-
dels and fortresses, in the hope of keeping off the
disease. The extraordinary abundance of fruits,
which form the principal food of the poorer classes,
had, it was said, caused the disease to spread. The
mortality had exceeded that of the most fatal days of
pestilential visitations. Isolation was no protection
against the malady, for it frequently broke out sud-
denly in the midst of a family, which had had no
communication with any one diseased, and carried off
three or four persons, and sometimes the whole house-
hold.

It is said that the Bank of France has intimated
its intention to subscribe 25,000,000 f. to the new loan.

The Archbishop of LYONS has ordered prayers to
be offered up throughout his diocese for the success of
the reforms of Pius IX.

MARYLEBONE VESTRY.
(THIS DAY.)

NEGOTIATION WITH SIR CLAUDE SCOTT
AND CO.'S BANKING-HOUSE.

The vestrymen were this morning engaged for
several hours in the consideration of the best means
to procure advances from Sir Claude Scott and Co.,
bankers, of Cavendish-square, or any other banking-
house, on certain terms. As our readers may re-
member, a motion was made last Saturday, by Mr.
George Paniells, that an application should be made
to Sir Claude Scott and Co. for a further loan of
10,0001. for three months, at five per cent., the parish
being already 5,0001. indebted, and 2,0001. over-
drawn in their banking account. A communication
was of course made to the firm of Sir Claude Scott
and Co., and that company refused to grant the ad-
vance upon the terir.s specified. A further commu-
nication was made, not only with the house of Sir
Claude Scott and Co., but with the London and West-
minster and other banks, and the principal business
before the vestry this day was to hear and consider
the answers of these banks.

The minutes of last day having been read,
Mr. SANDFORD moved, that in consideration of
that minute which had reference to the ad-
vances from the Bank it be postponed till after
twelve o'clock, and that in the meantime a
deputation should wait upon Sir Claude Scott and Co.,
to enter, if possible, upon some arrangement which
might prevent the disconnexion of the parish with
their recognised bankers.

After some discussion, this course was agreed to.
The letters from Sir Claude Scott and Co., and the
London and Westminster Bank, were then read. The
firmer company refused to make the required ad-
vances unless the vestry gave bonds for the amount,
with bonds also for the 5,0001. already advanced, and
2,0001. overdrawn. The London and Westminster
said that they were willing to advance the 10,0001.,
provided the parish allowed 5,0001. to remain in the
bank.
The reading of these letters gave rise to another
and rather virulent discussion, which ended in a de-
putation being sent to Sir Claude Scott and Co.'s, for
the purpose of entering into some arrangement, and
upon their return, at a quarter to one o'clock, it was
announced that Sir Claude Scott and Co., had in the
handsomest manner offered to advance the sum of
14,0001, at 5 per cent., secured upon parish bonds,
provided that 6,0001., now bearing interest at 4 per
cent., as well as a balance overdue of 2,0001., be
liquidated out of the present loan.--(Cheers) The
terms were acceeded to amidst acclamation.

Sir JAMES HAMILTON said that he rose with great
pleasure to perform a duty, which the courtesy and
the ready wish of Sir Claude Scott to meet the wishes
of the Vestry rendered imperative. He moved " That
the thanks of the board be tendered to Sir Claude
Scott and Co., for the courtesy and liberality they
had evinezd in the advance of 14,0001. to the parish
of Maryiebone to meet its existing temporary exi-
gencies."

Air. GEORGE DA/gums secondedthe motion, which
was carried amidst loud cheering.

'RIM PAUPERS.

Mr. SANDFORD gave notice of a motion for next
Saturday, calling the attention of the board of
guardians and directors to the great increase in the
influx of Irish paupers into the country, and the ne-
cessity of their adopting some measure to prevent
them quartering themselves upon the poor-rates of
that parish.
Several reports were brought up, and
The Board then broke up.

CITY OF LONDON SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the RECORDER, Aldermen GIBBS, CHALLIS,
HUNTER, and HuGuEs.)
Anthony Lazam, a master chimney-sweeper, was
charged with an assault upon Mr. Marshall, of No.
22, Seething lane.
It appeared, that on the morning of the 7th of
August last, a person named Jane M`Donald, the
daughter-in-law of the prisoner, was shaking mats
near the premises of the prosecutor, and he remon-
strated with her. The prisoner shortly afterwards
went into the prosecutor's shop, and, after abusing
him, attempted to drag him from the house, and upon
the prosecutor attempting to eject him, he struck him
a violent blow upon his face.
The prosecutor's evidence having been corro-
borated,
Mr. PRENTICE addressed the jury for the defence,
and called
Jane M`Donald, who stated the prosecutor struck
her, and gave such a version of the affair that it
would appear the prosecutor was the aggressor.
Some further evidence was called on behalf of the
prisoner.
The RECORDER summed up, and
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, with a re-
commendation to mercy.
The prisoner was then sentenced to pay a fine of
403., and to enter into his own recognizances for 401.
to keep the peace for one year.
