with the date IWI4, on scagliola pedestal and black

very fine piece of sculpture. We observed in the
auction-room during the day Mr. Bernal, Mr. Easthope,
and other members of the Legislature. There were
also present several gentlemen of the French nation,
who seemed to regard with particular affection each
, relic or memorial of the Emperor.

COMPANY.-CERTIORARI.

Mr. WaLLINGER applied for a rule for a certiorari, to
remove into the Court of Queen's Bench an indictment
against the London and Greenwich Railway Company,
which had been found at the last October Scscions for
Southwark, for a nuisance in building an arch over a public
footpatch. Questions would arise in the course of the
trial as to the right of the Company to build at all over
the footpath in question. and also as to the extinction of
the Company's Act of Parliament, which would render it
advisable that the cause should be tried before a Judge of
one of the Superior Courts.—Application granted.

BOW-STREET7-(THIS DAY.)

Robert Duntcorth, aged 17, described as a pill box
maker, was brought before Mr. HALL charged with being
found concealed on the premises of Mr. Burger, pawnbroker,
Long-acre, supposed for the purpose of committing a IL limy.
Frederick Higliam, assistant to Mr. Burger, stated that
being asleep in bed this morning, about half-paßt one
o'clock, he was awoke by a noise as if one of the bars of
the window had fallen down, and on procuring a light, he
found the prisoner concealed in a corner of the shop. He
then called up the shopnian to assist him, and when he re-
turned down stairs the prisoner had contrived to shift
himself to another part of the premises. The shopman
kept watching white witness rant for a policeman, and atter
hunting about in every direction, they discovered him con-
cealed in a shutter box.
Mr. HALL—flow do you think he managed to get into
the house.
Witness—He must have got in at the time of closing
the shop, and had the noise not been heard, he could have
easily contrived to have made away with about 2CO/. worth
of property. After he was pulled out of the shunter-box,
we found the chisel, nail, and knife produced in the place
he has hiding ; and the chisel corresponded with the marks
which appeared on the side door.
Mr. HALL—Do you know aho he is? Witness—l know
nothing about him ; but he had been seen loitering about
the door during the evening.
The prisoner said he had not tasted food for the last
three days, and he had applied to get into the Refuge foi
the Destitute, but without success. His only object was
to get a lodging for the night, and none of the instruments
to.nd belonged to him.
The witness said that he must have climbed upwards of
eight feet from the ground, to have concealed himself where
he was discovered.
Mr. Ham. said there could be no doubt that his intent
tions were to plunder the premises, and ha should be sen-
, for three months to hard labour in the House of Correction.

TRIAL BY JURY.—The anniversary of the acquittal
of Hardy, Tooke, and Thelwall, from the charge which
Tory trickery had concocted, and which, but for the
aid of a British Jury, would have proved fatal to them,
takes place to-morrow, the sth November, at Ander-
ton's hotel, Eiect-street. Mr. Fox takes the chair ; and
a meeting of some of the staunchest friends of salutary
reform in London, will celebrate the forty-sixth anni-
versary of a day made equally memorable by the ac-
quittal of honest men, as by the delivery of our legisla-
tors from the Gunpowder Plot.
London, England, 1840-11-04

COLCHESTER.

The following gentlemen (all Tories) worn re-elected
yesterday as Town Councillors without opposition : —lst
Ward: Messrs. J. T. fledge and Richard Jenkin. 2d
ditto : Messrs. Thomas Baker, and Joseph Banister. 31
ditto : Messrs. Samuel Burrows and George Joslin.

DOVER, Nov. 2.

The municipal election here has terminated in favour of

the Reformers. At four o'clock it was gathered from the
poll clerks that four Roformers, out of the six. candidates,
were returned—two for the Pier Ward, and two for the
Town Ward. But we hear since that the assessors at the
latter Ward make it out that only one Liberal has been
elected for that Ward. They have gained one, at all
events; and this even is a gruat triumph, considering the
corruption they have to contend with. It is a decided
proof that, in spite of the powerful influence of the Go-
vernor of the Bank of England, and that of Walmer Castle
to boot, Lil,•cral principles are making head in Dover.

HASTINGS.
The Reformers of Hastings have this year returned 5
out of 6 to the Council.

HARWICH, Nov. 2.

The Tories have had such a blow dealt them this day,
that it is a query if they ever recover power in the Bo-
:ough. The result of the Municipal Election gives the
Reformers 12 out of 16 on the Council—aud the opportu-
nity of .electing two Aldo-7.10n next year in lieu of two
Tories.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
SUDBURY, Nov. 3.

In this borough no opposition was expected, the Tories
immediately after the last election taking possession of the
field, and using every energy and means in their power to
gain possession of their object. While the Reformerg, dis-
comfited and neglected by those of their own party who
profess and desire to ho thought Liberal, but act as Tories
from a sordid love of self-interest, looked on with apathy.
The decay of the silk trade in this borough has left us
without an influential manufacturer, and much distress pre-
vails. But as Mr. Acland, the Corn-law lecturer, was
lately here making eloquent appeals to the freemen in
favour of breadism, it was hoped and expected he had re-
formed them, and as two of the Tory candidates were agri-
culturists, the Reformers considered it would be a favour-
able opportunity to test the virtue of the Independent Elec-
tors in favour of cheap bread, by putting into nomination
at the eleventh hour, two silk manufacturers ; the result is
as follows :

TORTES.

Green, broker
Aleeking, agriculturist
Genn, builder .
Harding, agriculturist

DERBY.
The election here has been decidedly in favour of the
Liberal party. Eight Tories and forty Liberals now com-
pose the Town Council.

WARWICK.
The returns have been in favour of the Tories.

BRIDW&WATER.
The result of the election has been the return of six Tories.

CAMBRIDGE,

In consequence of the con upt interference of the Uni-
versity, the contest on Monday went against the Liberal
party. Out of the ten vacancies which occurred, eight
were filled up by Tories, and but two by Whigs. Although
from the terror which the Tory masters, deans, and tutors
of the colleges exercised over the tradesmen and depen-
dents it was expected that a majority of Conservatives of
five or six to four, would be returned, yet no one calcu-
lated, not even the Tories, upon such a result as four to
one against the Liberal party. The Whigs owe a good
deal of this defeat to their own want of tact.

EFFECTS OF RAILWAYS.—It is said that the
Gland Junction Canal Shares, which a few years since
were selling at 3401. per share, have fallen to 1301. per
share, and the dividend, which was then 131. is now 81. per
share. As there arc 11,500 shares, the proprietors have
lost 2,415,0001. upon their capita!, and their annual in-

" A writer, who has visited Italy expressly for the purpose
of examining the social and political state of its inhabitants, and
who, at the risk of repelling ordinary readers by statistical de-
tails, has had the courage to fill the greater part of his volumes
with the very kind of information in which both his country-
men and ours are most deficient."—Edinhurgh Review.

RAILWAY SIIARES.-BAIED V. ROBERTSON.

This was an action to compel the defendant, the Secre-
tary to the Eastern Counties Riilway, to pay back to the
plaintiff the turn of 4001 , deposited by the latter in his
hands to complete the purchase of 200 shares in the Com-
pany ; but to be returned to plaintiff if he failed to esta-
blish his claim to the shares. The verdict was for the
plaintiff.
Mr. Sergeant TAISOURD now moved for a rule for
a nonsuit, on the ground that the defendant, as the ser-
vant of the Company held thernoney in trust for them, and
had no power to surrender it, and that the plaintiff having
deposited the money to be applied according to a specified
contingency, could not demand it back, without having on
his part done something to bring about the event, upon
which the return of the money was made contingent.
The Court ruled that the•plaintiff had a right to forego
his claim to shares whenever he pleased, and in doing so
to demand back his money.—Rule refused.

POLITICAL FRACAS AT THE

FRENCH OPERA.

( From the Correspondent of thc Morning Post.)
PARIS, MONDAY, Nov. 2.
I was witness last night to two very curious circum-
stances at the Academie Royale de Musique, which have
some political Importance at the present moment. A mu-
sical festival was held, at which the prices were consider-
ably raised, and the house was completely filled. It is,
therefore, fair to presume that a more than usually respect-
able audience was collected. Towards the conclusion of
the second part an attempt was made to call for the
Marseillaise." It signally failed. I never witnessed a
more determined attitude on the part of an audience
not to allow an obj,,ctionable air to be given. It
was a decided spontaneous putting down of the
Propagandist perturbators. Surely this
may be taken
as some evidence of the current of public feeling. Here
was an assemblage of all the notabilities of Paris, en
audience of the middle and upper classes, almost unani.
mos in rejecting the appeal for the retolutieuery hyntu,

PLLAS.-(THIS DAY.)

BUNTER V. LORD GRANTLEY.
The SOLICITOB- GENERAL moved for a new trial, on the
ground that the verdict was against evidence. The plain-
tiff brought his action against the defendant for illegal
ejectment from a cottage, in which the plaintiff
claimed to have the freehold by immemorial pos-
session. For the defence, it WdS proved that the
right of possession, if any, was in the parents of the
plaintiff, whom the latter had forcibly driven out of
their dwelling; whereupon Lord Grantley claimed a rent
from the plaintiff, and upon his refusing to pay ejected him
by force. It was also stiown that the plaintiff had no con-
fidence in his own claim, for he bad consulted several per-
sons as to whether he might cut down a tree in the garden
or not ; and upon the advice of those persons he refrained
from cutting it down.—Rule nisi granted.

VICE-CHANCERY-(THIS DAY.)

y tal 8
LANE V. BENNETT.
Mr. Jsc)n moved for an injunction to restrain the de-

toft'iald,oaOttid.anounut
itoyf
granted to him, by a person of the name of Bagot, of 83/.
for a term of ninety-Mne years. That annuity was charged
on some estates of which the granter was tenant for life,
and which estates af.erwards came under the management
of the Court of Chanctry in another cause. The estates
were sold and converted into money. In the mean time
Mr. Bennett became indebted to the plaintiff upon bills,
and deposited the annuity deed by way of s7eurity
with the plaintiff. The proceedings went on. and
ultimately an arrangement was made with Mr. Bagot,
the granter, by which the annuity was to be paid
out of the proceeds of the estates, or out of Mr
Begot's share of the proceeds. Accordingly an order,
founded on that arrangement, was make in the cause, in
the month of July last, directing the mode in which the
proceeds of those estates should be distributed; and among
other things it was directed that out of one portion of thoie
proceeds, a sum of 1,200/. should be paid to Mr. Bennett,
in full redemption of his annuity. The plaintiff conceiving
that he had an equitable lien upon the annuity, therefore
applied for an injunction to restrain the defendant Ben-
nett from receiving that sum.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Take the injunction.
Mr. JACOB observed that the bill also prayed for an in-
junction to restrain the Accountant-General from paying,
but that was unnecessary,
The VICE-CHANCELLOR said that if notice were given to
the Accountant. General of the order then made, tl,at
would be sufficient.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

A Correspondent who inquires " What Ministry was it
that introduced the Malt Bill one night, and rescinded
it the next night," must allude, we presume, to the cir-
cumstance, that during Lord Grey's Ministry, when
Lord Althorp was Chancellor of the Exchequer, a
motion was made to Repeal the Malt Tax, which was
carried against him, but that vote was a few evenings
afterwards, on the motion of Lord Althorp, rescinded.
He consistently opposed the motion in the first instance,
but he was only able to overturn the first vote by the
assistance of Sir R. Peel and his friends, against the
other Tories on the second occasion. We remember
no other incident at all corresponding to the inquiry
made by our Correspondent.

MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

We did not receive this periodical in time for our
usual Magazine notices, which is the reason why we
have delayed giving a brief account of it till now.
The NumLer, on the whole, appears to be a fair
average one, and contains. among other contributions,
a clever metaphysical notice (which is to he continued)
of Shelley's Poems, from the pen of the Editor ; a tale
called the " Blacksmith's Daughter," by the author of
the " Remembrances of a Monthly Nurse ;" and a sea-
sonable Review of Carlyle's recently published work on
Chartism.

THE POLYTECHNIC JOURNAL.
The article on " Homicidal Monomania,"by Millinge n
contains a long and firightlul list of cases, speaking me-
dically, of this awful disease. The Newgate Calendar
is light reading compared with the catalogue of crimes
adduced—crimes of the most horrible kind, and perpe-
trated, in most instances, from an irresistible propensity to
destroy fellow-creatures. The object of publishing these
records is to guide the philanthropic studies of the condi-
tion of our frail creation, and to induce the Legislature and
Judges to pause before visiting with capital punishment
offences for which the accused cannot be considered re-
sponsible. Several instances are given, in which the
unfortunate persons afflicted with this malady are per-
fectly aware of their propensity for murder, and so
convinced of their inability to restrain themselves, that
they have begged to be secured, and chained,that they
might:be prevented from committing some dreadful crime.
The result to which the writer of the article comes is a
humane one—that the presence of mental alienation
should be admitted in the individual who commits ho-
micide, without a positive interest, without criminal
motive, and without an accountable passion. The arti-
cle on Whitehall Wood Pavement takes a prejudiced
view of what appears to us the most perfect specimen
of paving yet exhibited in the metropolis. Colonel
Jackson has great misgivings ; nay, is firmly convinced
that this pavement cannot be desirable on account of
the way the fibre is placed ; and also, that owing to
.the tendency of the blocks to displacement there must
be a more or less speedy dislocation of the pavement.
Time will decide. " Behind the Scenes" furnishes
some curious details of the Green Room, the reading
and putting a
piece on the stage, and other circumstan-
ces which make not a few of the characters connected
with Theatres a little ridiculous.

QUEEN VICTORIA

Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, daughter of the
Duke of Kent, and of Victoria Maria Louisa of Saxe
Coburg, Princess Dowager of Leiningen and Duchess
of Kent, was born on the 24th of May, 1819, suc-
ceeded her uncle William IV., on the 20th of June,
1837, was crowned on the 28th of June, 1838, an-
nounced to Parliament on Thursday, the 16th of Ja7-
nuary, her intended marriage ; and on the 10th of Fe-
bruary, 1840, was married to Prince Albert of Saxe
Coburg and Gotha.

In the " Coronation Sun," which all our readers have
seen, some details of the education and entrance into
public life of this illustrious Princess are given. There
is, therefore, no occasion to advert to them further.
Our only object in the present publication is to celebrate
the auspicious event which we announced more than
twelve months ago. All our Contemporaries at the time
professed to disbelieve the statement, and some of
them contradicted it on what they called authority,
'We knew they wanted the only authority entitled to
credit, and we, therefore, take some pride in having
been the first to communicate to the public an al-
liance which has spread such joy throughout the land.
The alliance between the Houses of Brunswick and
Coburg has now existed for more than one hundred
Years. In 1736 the Prince of Wales, father of George
was married to Augusta, Princess of Saxe Gotha,
who consequently was great grandmother of the Queen.
This new alliance between the two houses has been
formed under the most auspicious circumstances. The
illustrious parties have been long intimately acquainted ;
they have had ample opportunities of ascertaining the
temper and habits of each other ; in childhood they
frequently read from the same book, and, from all ac-
counts, the attachment and esteem are mutual. Her
Majesty bas received the best education, moral as well
as literary ; ;and all parties in the State have paid the
highest and justest compliments to her excellent mother
for her indefatigable and anxious care to render her illus-
trious daughter worthy of the first throne in the world. The
education of Prince Albert has been conducted with
equal care, and latterly, no doubt, with a view to the
Important station which Providence destined him to fill.
Her Majesty is well versed in the elegant arts. Her
deportment, whether in the Royal closet or on the
Throne, has frequently called forth universal appro-
bation ; and the manner in which she announced the
Present happy union to her Privy Council and -to her
Parliament, has only increased the respect and affec-
tionate love of all her subjects, who cordially pray that
bar marriage may be happy, and her reign long, pros-
perous, and peaceful.

PRINCE ALBERT.

Prince Albert Francis Augustus Charles Emanuel
of Saxe Coburg Gotha, was born on the 26th of
August, 1819, and received the first rudiments of his
education in the Castle of Erenburg. When in his
eleventh year he became a visiter of the Duchess of
Kent at Kensington Palace, and received lessons in
language, music, and the arts, in the company of his
illustrious cousin. He remained in England at that
time for upwards of fifteen months, and then re-
turned to Germany. He studied at the Univer-
sity or Donn, wnere ne -distinguished himself by
diligence in literary pursuits, amiable manners, and
propriety of conduct. He is, like his Royal Con-
sort, fond of music, and has also composed some
poetical pieces, which are not without merit. After
finishing his studies at Bonn, he visited this country in
1838, and afterwards travelled in Italy, accompanied
by the Baron Stockmar, and in the month of October
last again arrived in England, when the arrangements
for this alliance were finally settled. All accounts,
from the handsome eulogium of the Duke of Cambridge
in the House of Peers to the numerous reports from
the Continent, agree in assigning to him a high
character for moral worth and agreeable manners. He
belongs to a family illustrious for deeds in arms, encou-
ragement of the liberal arts, and immortalized by the
noble stand it made against the Emperor Charles V.
and the Pope, in defence of the Protestant religion.
His ancestors, as Margraves of Mesnia, Landgraves
of Thuringia, and Counts of Witten, held a distin-
guished place among the Princes of the German
Empire.

The greatness of the family may be said to have
been founded and consolidated by Frederick, surnamed
the Warlike, who became Duke and Elector of Saxony,
when the Ascanian line was extinct on the death of
Albert 111., in 1403. This Prince was named, by the
Emperor, High Marshal and Vicar of the Empire ; and
in addition to the military achievements which procured
for him the surname above-mentioned, he was an en-
lightened patron of commerce, art, and literature. In
his time the Universities of Erfurt and Leipzig were
founded ; and thus, by the encouragement which he
gave to knowledge and learning, the soil was prepared
in his dominions for the reception of the blessed seed
of Reformed Truth. After the death of Frederick th
