TOULON, Nov. 15.—The Sentinelle des la Marine of
the above date contains the following paragraph :
" The Cameleon steam-boat has at le:gth put to sea.
It was believed at first that it was gone to carry despatches
which had come from Paris addressed to Admiral Hugon,
but we have since learnt that it is gone direct to Alexan
dria. An Estafette, which arrived the evening befor-
yesterday at Toulon with despatches of great importance
tar M. Cochelet, our Consul- General, hastened the dee
parturc of the Camelcon. M. Leblanc, a staff ofil,er-
took his passage in this vessel, being entrusted with a,
secret mission. 'Mils officer had been sent to Toulon by
the ex-President of the Council of Ministers with instruc-
tions of M. Thiers for Mehemet Ali. But the Cabinet
being overthrown, M. Leblanc waited for fresh instruc-
tions to fulfil his mission in Egypt. Having received them
he immediately embarked.
The following account has been received at Havre:—
" Letters from Bahia to Sept 29 announce that the
13d1 Poole and its companion sailed from that port on
Sept. 1 4 for St. Helena ; the passengers, whose ill health
;tad obliged it to put into Bahia, had recovered."
" The Prince de Joinville took the opportunity to re•
victual the ships at Bahia ; his expenses for this and fur
his own wants are 50,000 f, fur which he has drawn bills on
the treasury.

According to our calculations the expedition which
left Bahia on Septemhcr 14, might arrive at lima be-
tween the sth and 10th of October, and unless some extra-
ordinary circumstance should delay it, might leave it be-
tween the 20th and 25th, arid be back at Cherbourg in
the first fortnight of December.—. Commerce.
STORM IN PARIS.-- Paris also has had its hurricanes.
Yesterday afternoon a violent storm passed over the capi-
tal, women were thrown down on the boulevards and the
bridges; chimneys were knocked down; hats, bonnets,
and umbrellas were flying in all directions. In the even-
ing the rain continued to pour down in torrents. If the
case has been the same on the Upper Seine and the Marne,
the Seine must soon overflow, and inundate the plains
above and below Paris. A painful accident, but which
might have been attended with more fatal consequences,
marked this storm. M. Arago (the distinguished philo-
sopher), was on the terrace of the observatory, and the
wind threw him down with so much violence as to cause
him several severe contusions. It is even stated that he
was sliding down the terrace, which has a trfling inclin•
tion, when arrested by a workman, otherwise his fall might
have proved mortal. The most severe contusion was on
his leg, but it is hoped that this accident will have no fatal
results.— Commerce of Sunday.

THE SLAVERY OF THE TORY MEMBERS.—Mr.
Shaw, the Tory Member for the University of Dublin,
was seen walking ore day last week arm in arm with
Lord Morpeth. They attended at a meeting of Father
Matthew's teetotal friends, and " walked together to
the Customhouse as familiar friends." Saunders's
News Letter, some other Irish paper, not mentioned,
and the London Standard, all notice this momentary
friends Lip as an insult to one or other of the political
parties to which the two gentlemen belong, and as indi-
cative of treachery to the principles one or other pro-
fesses. We can allow Lord Morpeth to be arm in arm
with Mr. Shaw, without calling out treachery, or fear-
ing any evil to the Reform cause, but the Tory news-
papers cannot so far indulge Mr. Shaw. Such is their
intolerable jealousy and tyranny over their servants, or
rather slaves, that those poor wretches must not speak
to a Whig acquaintance. Nobody can say their service
is one of perfect freedom, or their ways paths of plea-
santness and peace. Poor Mr. Shaw ; he will obtain
from their jealousy a notoriety which his abilities could
never secure him. Weak minds like his, may, per-
chance, think the slavery a cheap method of gratifying
a grovelling ambition. The Learned Recorder of
Dublin, who has slighted nobler duties to do the dirty,
work of the Dublin Turies, and the Journalists who now
claim to be his masters, are worthy of each other.
ERRATA IN THE GLOBE.—We seldom notice the
faults of our Evening Contemporaries except for the
purpose of doing them a service. We praise them when..-
ever we can, and regularly every lawful evening, as the
Scotch say, give the essence of their leading articles in
order that the public, and chiefly our readers, may know
what excellent colleagues we have in the great and pa-
triotic work of reforming, and enlightening our fellow-
creatures. In the same spirit we quote from, the Globe
of last evening three paragraphs, the two first of which
were evidently intended for The Sun by some traitor in
the pay of our respectable Contemporary, and the third
was written by a traitor still more wicked, whose ob-
ject was to deceive the readers of the Globe respecting
the most important event that has occurred in this
country for a quarter of a century,. The two first para-
graphs are these, " Considerably in advance of every
other journal, we were enabled on Saturday to
announce to the public the interesting intelligence that
her Majesty had given birth to a Princess." And " not-
withstanding the inclemency of the evening, our office
was literally besieged with applicants for papers, to send
to their friends in the country, through the post." The
third paragraph is "no official bulletin was issued on
Saturday evering." The two first were both intended
for The Sun, which was in the city a quarter of an hour
before the Globe, and contained also the precise time
evhen the Queen was delivered (which the traitor
omitted), and the third, no doubt, from some misgivings,
wits inserted, in order to screen, by a falsehood, the
Government paper for not giving the official bul-
letin, the Gazette Extraordinary, with all the par-
ticulars, which was published in The Sun, and sent
.off to every corner of the United Kingdom on the
same evening. It was this _Extraordinary Ga-
zette which caused the crowd, and we are glad to find
that our Contemporary consoles himself with the
idea that it assembled a little farther east than it actu-
ally did. We have had praise enough for early intelli-
gence, and we allude to the subject only in order to
guard the Globe against certain impostors who wish to
bring the Paper into disgrace.

On the happy occasion of the birth of England's
hope, the united service naturally expect that a brevet will
be granted on a most liberal scale, especially as when her
Most Gracious Majesty ascended the Throne the promo-
tion was extremely limited. The last brevet of his Ma-
jesty William IV. included the Lieutenant-Colonels,
Majors, and Captains whose commissions were dated in
and between the years 1813 and 1822. We do not ask
that the forthcoming promotion should be equally exten.
setru94 that it may not halt with-
out veterans who obtained their last
iv
including
w e d o
the ho
gallantpc and
step by the brevet of 1830. The promotion to Major. G.
will most probably extended to Colonel Aitchison,
of the Scots Fusileer Guards. —Naval and Military Guz.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

COLONIAL MARKET.
There was little business done by private treaty, and
the public sales went off heavily, with the excepticn of tea.
The arrivals were again small from all parts.
TEA MARKET.

The transactions by private contract were smal, and
prices are much the same as previously quoted. About
10,000 packages were offered for public sale, but the trade
were nut desirous to purchase beyond their wants; a small
part only was sold, but prices were firm. The Company's
Coingou sales were made at_2s..3l i. to 2,31 d. per lb. cash.

ROLLS' COURT.-('THIS DAY.)

The Court heard petitions, and took the unopposed
first, among which was one, in a very old cause of

THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM V. FEYCE.
It was the petition of the Rev. George Arthur Evors,
the heir-at-law of Sir John Powell Pryce, Bart. The
estates of Sir John, in 1771, were made subject to a mort-
gage of 20,0001., in favour of the great-grandfather of the
present Duke of Buckingham, and the bill was filed for a
foreclosure. In 1780 the estates were sold, and ,he
mortgage and costs paid out of the proceeds. The stir-
plug 2,800/., had remained in the Court from that time to
the present, accumulating, and it now amounted to up-
wards of 20,0001 ! The present petition prayed for a
reference to the Master, to ascertain whether there were
bay charges on the fund.
Mr. PEMBERTON, who appeared for the petitioner,
stated that all the parties to the suit, and all their clerks
in Court were dead, so that there was nobody on whom
thr petition could be served. He had an affidavit verify-
ing the title of the petitioner, and stating the pedigree of
the family.
The MASTER of the Rot.r.s—Your petition only asks
that the Master may inquire whether there are any ineuni_
trances, but you assume that you are the heir. You must
prove now that 3ou are the heir, otherwfte that must be
inquired into.

Mr. PEMBERTUN did not think the proof of the heirship
was such a% the Court would hold to be sufficient for
establishing a title to the fund. Nothing, however, would
come to the heir, because the incumbrances, subsequent to
the mortgage, would absorb the whole of the fund in
Court. There were judgments against Sir John Powell
Pryce to the amount of 40,0001. !
The MASTER of the Rou,s—So that the heir has no in-
terest.

Mr. PRMBERTON—None whatever. The only question
is, whether it is necessary to have the inquiry previous to
the fund being paid out. There will be advertisements for
creditors to come in.

The MASTER of the ROLLS directed an inquiry whether
there were any, and what, incumbrances, and who was the
heir of Sir John Powell Pry ce. If it was found the in-
cumbrances would exhaust the whole fund, then the in-
quiry as to the heir need not be prosecuted.

QUEEN'S BENCH.--(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings in Banco.)
THE QUEEN V. THE OVERSF.ERS OF THE PARISH CF ST.

GEORGE, HANOVER-SQUARE.

Lord DENMAN gave judgment in this case at the sitting
of the Court. This was an application for a mandamus,
directed to the overseers of the parish of St. George,
Hanover-square, commanding them to remove the dead
body of a female pauper who had died in the hospital, and
to cause the same to be buried. The application had been
made on behalf of the hospital, on the ground that the
parish authorities were the parties upon wham the burden
ought legally to fall; and although it was an argument of
extreme difficulty to place on a legal foundation the right
of the hospital or the obligation of the parish, still the
Court was unwilling to 'grant the rule, considering how
long the practice had prevailed of burying such persons.
In the arguments used in support of the rule, the
necessity of the case, the larger construction of
the words of the 43:1 of Elizabeth, and the inference to
be drawn from the 48th George the Third, for the burial
of the wrecked persons cast ashore, were relied on, but the
Court thought these were insufficient. In the last men-
tioned Statute there were words from which it might be
inferred that the framers recognized the right of burial of
paupers at the expense of the parish. The present case,
however, turned upon the construction of the statute of
Elizabeth,—that the overseer was a statutable officer,
dealing :with statutable funds for statutable purposes
there could be no doubt, from the language of the Act.
The relief and employment of the poor were the objects of
these funds—they were founded and raised for these pur-
poses, and the poor could not be deprived of them. No
usage, however proper or uninterrupted, could prevail
against the plain construction of the Statute. • The
Court, after a careful consideration of the terms of the
Act could not accede to the argument that the case of
a pauper receiving relief but not dying in the workhouse
could be brought within the terms of the statute. •In
passing to the ground of necessity, the Court distinctly re-
cognised its application in the present case. Every per-
son dying in that country, except where the contrary was
expressly directed by statute, bad a right to Christian
burial, and that implied a right to be carried to the parish
cemetery. Lord Stowell had laid it down that to Carry a
dead body naked was an offence to the living. No doubt
the common law cast upon some one the duty of carrying
to the grave decently the dead body of every person not
having the private means of burial, but the Court bad
found no good grounds, and had heard no argument which
would induce it to charge the overseers of the parish with
that duty, which must in such case be done out of the rate.
The rule far a mandamus must therefore be discharged.

THE QUEEN V. THE COMMISSIONERS OF CHELTENHAM.

In this case a rule had been obtained for a mandaraus,
calling upon the defendants to make a rate for the pay-
ment of certain arrears due to a Gas-light and Coke Corn-
pans, by whom the town of Cheltenham was lighted.
The defendants had refused to make a rate for that pur-
pose, on the ground that a former rate had been appealed
against, and was then sub judice.
►Sir W. FOLLETT and Mr. KELLY were now beard
against the rule, the arguments of the Learned Cowls,'
being directed to show that the exigency which the rule
contemplated, namely, the refusal of the Company to con-
tinue to light the town, had not )(A arisen, and that they
had sufficient means of recovering from the Commissioners
whatever arrears were due to them.
