Spain to get up a pronunciamento against the QUEEN,
and rumours were current in Paris on Saturday that
serious disturbances had broken out in Madrid. No
credit, however, was attached to those rumours.

The Union illonarchigue of Friday makes several
curious announcements with regard to the foreign
policy of M. GUIZOT. It says— _ _

" The interchange of couriers between Paris and St.
Petersburg has become exceedingly frequent. From
Paris solicitations are made, through some well-known
intermediaries, for the appointment and dispatch of a
Russian Ambassador to Paris. This has been carried so
far as to cause an inquiry to be made, whether, as M. de
Barante cannot return to St. Petersburg, this or that
nomination would be agreeable to his Imperial Majesty.
In this list is found the name of M. Bresson."
And further—

" We learn that the Austrian Cabinet is performing
the office of mediator in the differences between Russia
and Greece. M. de Prokesch, the Austrian Ambassador
at Athens, is at this moment in Vienna, to rcceive direct
from Prince Metternich fresh instructions."
The third announcement of the Union 2110-
narchique is as follows
We believe we are warranted in affirming that M.
GuizA, being invited by notes from the Austrian Cabi-
net, and warmly urged by Count d'Appony to declare
himself on the subject of the French policy in Italy,
has replied, in the name of the Cabinet, in the most
satisfactory manner, declaring that France wtuld not
give any encouragement to those who dream of the re-
constitution of the Italian Union, and CODS' quently. M.
Rossi has received instructions enjoining him to harmo-
nise more and more with the policy of Austria."
Thus has M. Gutzow sacrificed, for the sake of the
dowry of the Duchess of MONTPENSIER, the position
of France as head of the liberals of Europe—Poland,
Italy, Spain, France herself, sacrificed for a dowry !
Indeed, M. GuizoT, you " pay too dear for your
whistle."

According to La Patrie, it is determined to leave
for execution the persons convicted of rioting at
Buzencais.

The KING has decided that the statue of General
DaouoT should be placed in the gallery of Versailles.

from Windsor Castle.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT:

The trial of Alexander, Wilbeam, and another,
charg€d with uttering a bill of exchange for 5001., with
intent to defraud Messrs. Fuller and Co., the bankers,
was postponed until next session.
The Recorder having disposed of the only remaining
case, which possessed no feature of public interest, the
Court rose before the expiration of the morning. The
sessions then terminated.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
John Egan was charged with stealing a valuable gold
pin, the property of Charles Paternoster, barman at the
Nag's Head Tavern, in Leather-lane.
The ptisoner entered the house a few minutes before
twelve o'clock on Saturday night, when the prosecutor
refused to serve him, as it was too late. The prisoner
refused to leave the house when ordered to do so, upon
which the prosecutor took him by the collar, and a
struggle ensued, during which the prisoner made a grasp
at his stock, and in a few moments afterwards he found
that iris pin had been taken. A policeman was sent for,
and while the prisoner was being taken to the station-
house he was observed to throw something away, and
upon searching in the morning the pin was found close
to the spot in the channel.
He was fully committed to take his trial at the Old

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Inspector Pascoe, of the N division, informed the
magistrate (Mr. Broughton) that a robbery of an ex-
tensive nature was committed at the goods warehouse of
the London and North-Western Railway on the morning
of the sth instant. The property, which was nearly a
ton and a half in weight, consisted of silks, satins, and a
variety of Manchester and other drapery goods, directed
to various parties. He (Inspector Pascoe) had entrusted
the elucidation of this mysterious affair to Dubois and
Sanders, two active sergeants of the division,and,through
their instrumentality, five of the receivers of the stolen
property were yesterday apprehended, and abont halt
a ton weight of it was at the same time recovered, t gig. ther
with a horse and cart. H. (the Inspector) understood
that six of the principals, in the robbery had also been
captured in the S (Mar)lebone) division of police. One
of the prisoners had made a confession.

Mr. bnouGHToN thought that the more prudent plan
would be to consult with the Atting Magistrate at the
Marylebone police office upon the subject, inasmuch as
the principals in the robb.•ry had been taken in that dis-
trict, and Serjeant Sanders was dispatched thereto, with
Mr. Broughton's compliments for that purpose.
It was stated that some of the stolen property had been
traced to Peckham.

SURREY SEssiows—(Tuis DaY).—The adjourned
Quarter Sessions for the county of Surrey commenced
this morning, at the Court- house, Newington-causeway.
The calendar was extremely light, owing to the ipro-
ceedings of the Quarter Sessions held last Monday, at
Reigate, and the Surrey Assizes the week previous.
The Court was engaged the whole morning in trying
vises of petty thefts.
Loss OF LIFE nr FlRE.—Between the hours of
nine and ten o'clock on Saturday night the neighbour-
hood of the Broadway, Ludgate-hill, was thrown into a
state of the greatest consternation in consequence of Mrs.
Mary Ann Maxwell, aged about 45 years, the wife of a
respectable master tailor, carrying on business at No. 5,
in the Broadway, having lost her life under the sub;oined
dreadful circumstances :—lt appears that the poor
creature, who was subject to fits, had returned from
market, and whilst seated before the fire, supposed to be
either in the act of unfastening her boots or stirring the
fire, when she suddenly fell forward across the grate in
an apopletic fit, and the fire communicating, she speedily
was enveloped in-flames, in which condition she was dis-
covered by Mr. Richmond, one of the tenants of the
same house, who having quenched the flames dispatched
a messenger for medical assistance, and for the husband
of the poor creature. She, however, expired in the
most dreadful agonies before their arrival. Upon an
examination being made by Mr. Hutchinson, surgeon, of
Farringdon street, it was found that the upper part of
the unfortunate woman was completely charred over,
her face and hands and neck being literally burned to a
cinder.
NORTHERN HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—We un-
derstand that Arthur Forbes, Esq., of Culloden, has
consented to become joint secretary, with Mr. Campbell,
seedsman, Inverness, for the Northern Horticultural
Society ; and we have no doubt these gentlemen will use
every exertion for promoting and extending the interests
of this useful society. Mr. Campbell has likewise been
appointed treasurer to the society.—Ross-shire Adver-
tiser. _ _

SUDDEN DEATH OF A SHERIFF'S OFFICER.-Mr.
Mills held an inquest on Saturday at the Elephant and
Castle, St. Pancras-road, on George Eyles, a sheriff's
officer, aged 66. The jury, who proceeded to view the
body in a horse in 13a) ham-street, were not a little hot ri-
fled at beholding deceased sitting in an arm-chair
opposite the tire with his clothes and hat on, as if he was
enjoying the genial warmth of the blazing coal, being the
position in which he died. Thomas Trotman stated that
on Thursday afternoon the deceased was put into pos-
session of his goods under an execution from the
Sheriff's Court. At night, and after they had smoked a
pipe together, he asked the deceased to go into his
(witness's) bed, which he refused to do, saying that he
preferred sitting at the fire. Witness accordingly
went out, leaving dec,ased, who appeared in the best
health and spirits, sitting at the fire. Upon awaking
the morning he found deceased sitting
in
the same position, but quite dead. He instantly
went to the Sheriff's office, and related what
occurred. The Coroner expressed himself satisfied the
deceased's death was purely natural ; but as there was
no one in the room but the deceased and the witness, and
as the circumstances connected with his death were pe-
culiar, he would adjourn the inquest for a few hours, to
have the body opened for the satisfaction of all parties.
Mr. Cooper, the parish surgeon, accordingly opened the
body, and found the deceased's death was a natural
death. A second inquest was held in the same house on
the body of James Peter Pearson, aged two years. It
appeared that the deceased, who resided with its parents
in an adjoining cottage, was on Friday last playing with
another child, when he fell off the pavement betwen the
hind and near wheels of a waggon belonging to Mr.
Tanqueray, the distiller, of Vine-street, Bloomsbury.
Before the child could be rescued his head was forced
by the wheel against the kerb. lle was removed with-
out delay to Mr. Tatham's surgery, when it was found
that deceased had ceased to breathe. It was Droved that
the driver was going at a steady pace, and that the oc-
currence was purely accidental. Verdict, " Accidental
death."

TIIE RECENT CASE OF STABBING NEAR SOHO-
SQUABE.—On making i7iquiry yesterday (Sunday) at
the AliddleA,x Hospital, respecting the unfortunate man
Berry, who was stabbed by his wife on the evening of
the Bth inst., Mr. Dickson, the house surgecn, stated
that he considered him quite out of danger.
THE CROPS.—Never did we see, at all events for a
considerable period, the crops look so well as at the pre-
sent time in the neighbourhood of Wigan. During the
week the weather has been very changeable, but, to use
the farmers' own words, "it has been all for the better."
