We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
They are filled with accounts of the rejoicings which
took place on Saturday, in honour of the KING'S fete.
The KING received at the Tuileries the corps diplo-
matique, deputations from both Chambers, from the
Courts of Justice, the University, and the Institute,
the municipal authorities, the consistorie3 of the Re-
formed Church, of the Confession of Augsburg, and of
the Israelites of Paris, the officers of the National
Guard, &c. The POPE'S Nuncio addressed the fol-
lowing speech to his MAJESTY in the name of the
corps diplomatique:—

" Thefae of your Majesty is always an auspicious day for
the corps diplomatique, who, in the name of the Sovereigns
they have the honour to represent, come to offer you their
most sincere wishes for the long and entire prosperity of
your Majesty, the Royal Family, and France. The trials
to which it has pleased Divine Providence to subject a
portion of Europe have demonstrated in an admirable manner
the advantages of peace, that invaluable result of the wisdom
of your Majesty, of the other Sovereigns, and of their Ca-
binets. The Almighty, who, in His impenetrable designs,
afflicts and consoles nations, will crown your generous efforts
to allay so many misfortunes, and the calamity itself, which
so much grieves your royal heart, will add to your glory.
You enjoy, with your august and virtuous Consort, the sweet
consolations afforded by your happy family. May you still
witness many anniversaries of that feast so grateful to the
king, the husband, and the father. Deign, Sire, to accept
with the wishes of the diplomatic body the homage of its
profound respect."
The KING replied—

" My heart, as you truly stated, has been deeply grieved
at the painful trials which most of our nations have had to
undergo in consequence of the dearth of provisions. I hope
with you that Providence will speedily put a period to their
duration, and that abundant crops will shortly console huma-
nity. But, as you have so justly observed, the maintenance
of that beneficial peace, which the happy accord of all the
Governments strengthens every year more and more, has
most efficaciously contributed to alleviate the burden of those
sufferings. I thank God for enabling me to co-operate in
that great result, and I firmly trust that he will continue to
bless our common and constant efforts to remove all that
might tend to disturb it. I thank you for the congratulations
and good wishes you have expressed in so affecting a manner
in the name of the corps diplonscctique ; and I cordially entreat
you to thank that body, in my name and that of the Queen
and of all my family."

The KING thus concluded his reply to the Address
of the Chamber of Peers, which was presented to his
MAJESTY by Duke PASQUIEE :
" The affection which the Chamber of Peers has con-
stantly evinced for me—the efficacious and ever equitable
assistance it has afforded my Government, has enabled me
to accomplish the arduous task imposed upon me; and
now that France, as you have stated, enjoys all the blessings
of peace and prosperity, I may recite, after thanking you
for your co-operation, the nunc dimittis of the canticle of
Simeon."

In replying to the Address of the Chamber of
Deputies the KING observed—

"My grandson will respond to your anticipations. Guided
by the advice of his excellent mother, impelled by the good
examples given to him by my family, he will be animated
with the same spirit—with that truly national spirit—which,
devoted to France, knows no other interests than those of
the nation. It has been very painful to me to witness the
sufferings of the labouring classes to which you have
alluded; but I derived great consolation from the relief of
them which you so generously voted, and I am happy to
seize this opportunity of thanking you. We have every
reason to hope that those sufferings are drawing to a close.
They, however, elicited 'proof of one great and consolatory
fact. They roused none of those political passions which
too often previously envenomed public sufferings and feelings.
Popular opinion, more enlightened, recognised that there
was everything to lose and no good to be expected from such
agitations."

His MAisszy concluded by congratulating himself
on the realisation of the first words he had addressed
to France, as Lieutenant-General of the kingdom.
" Henceforth the charter shall prove a reality."
The Journal des Debats publishes a letter from
Constantinople, which states that Austria and Prus-
sia take the same view of the difference between
Greece and the Porte that England does, and that
the representative of Austria had received dispatches
from Vienna extremely hostile to Greece. The
Greek Minister at Constantinople has demanded his
passports.

In the same journal we find a letter from Athens,
said to have been written by M. PISCATORT,
complaining of the " unfeeling demand of money by
Great Britain," and accusing England of intriguing
to procure the advent of Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON
(of all people in the world !) to the throne of Greece.
Such are the absurdities which the French Minister
in Greece is compelled to propagate, in order to pro•
crastinate for a short time the downfal of his tool

The rise in Consols on the London Stock-Exchange
on Friday, added to the satisfactory manner in which
the KING'S file had passed off, and to the hourly in-
creasing hopes from the growing crops, produced a
marked improvement in the French Three per Cents.

There is nothing new to-day from abroad, and the excite-
ment of the hour seems adequate to absorb every considera-
tion. The discount market was never tighter, though the
banks, as far as can be expected, have aided parties in meet-
ing their acceptances. In many instances there will never
theless be an inability to meet the engagements entered inter
and from no fault of their own, houses, which although they
are as strong as a rock, may be compelled to claim in-
dulgenee.
The English Stock Market has been in a most fluctuating
condition, and at times appearing to be shaken to its centre,
although rallying subsequently. The Consol market opened
at 86%, fell to 86, and is now 86% for present transfer.
Time bargains have been effected at 86% to 87. There is
rather more buoyancy in the market just now. Exchequer-
bills have been at ss. to 10s. discount. Consols Scrip has
been at 3s. discount. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been 86% to 87%; and the Three per Cents. 85

The Foreign Investments have been totally neglected.
Spanish Three per Cents. have realised 34%, and Brazilian

In almost all cases Railway Shares are again lower, but
the pressure of sales has not been to any material extent,
otherwise the fall might have been more decided.

trifling advance has been submitted to. Recent advices from
the United States quote prices firm, and re-assert that the
present planting will be materially circumscribed.

their Lordships the whole morning.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

ANDREWS v. NOUSFIELD.

This was a bill filed against the trustees to a marriage
settlement, under the following circumstances:—The plain-
tiffs were the children of Mrs. Andrews, who was possessed
of a sum of 7001., an annuity payable out of a sum of 12,000/.,
besides other property, which were in the hands of three
parties, named Sims, Page, and Bullock, as trustee, to the
marriage settlement. The marriage took place in 1824, and
in 1829 Mr. Andrews and his wifb applied to Bousfield to
have a portion of the trust, and obtained 1001. In
,1839 there
was a further advance; but, upon application for more
money, Page refused to accede to the application, and it was
ultimately arranged by all parties that be should retire from
the trusteeship, and a Mr. Kennedy was elected in his place.
Advances were then made to the amount of 3301. Bullock,
one of the trustees, having died, his executors were made
parties to the suit.
Mr. l'unslia was heard this morning in support of the bill.

BLOOMSBURY COUNTY COURT

(THIS DAY.)
HARRIS V. DAVIS.

This was an application made by the plaintiff, on behalf
of the Hand-in- Hand Friendly Society of Brothers, to com-
pel the payment of the sum of 3/. 125., the value of seventy-
two tickets, admitting persons to the pit of the Royal
Victoria Theatre, on the occasion of a benefit.
The defendant pleaded non liability.
It appeared that the plaintiff in the month of October,
1846, had the superintendance of a benefit at the Royal
Victoria Theatre, in-aid of the funds of the Hand-in-Hand
Friendly Society of Brothers, of which the defendant had
been a member; but, owing to the discontinuance of pay-
ments, had been struck off the books. A few days before
the night of performance, the defendant represented that he
had an excellent opportunity of disposingshilling, h h
with a tnuenlber of
tickets. He was accordingly supplied with seventy-two pit
tickets, each of the value of on
under-
standing that they should be returned if defendant could
not dispose of them to advantage before the night of the
benefit. _
_

The Morning Sun and the Morning Advertiser of the Bth
of October, containing an advertisement of the benefit, was
produced for the inspection of the Judge.
The defendant stated that he had disposed of nearly all the
tickets, but he had not received the money ; he was, there-
fore, he considered, not liable for their value.
The Judge (E. Dunois, Esq.) stated that the defendant
was liable for the amount ; he would, therefore, return a ver-
dict for the plaintiff. Mr. Davis had his remedy by suing
the parties to whom he had supplied the tickets, if he had
not already received the money.
somerroizs IN VIE NEW COURT.
At the termination of one of the cases this morning, a so-
licitor (whose name did not transpire) rose on behalf of him-
self and several other solicitors then in court, and inquired if
the Learned Judge could not allow cases where solicitors
were engaged to be taken out of their usual course, as several
had been waiting some hours?
The JUDGE replied that he could not accede to the re-
quest of the solicitors; each case would be heard in due
rotation.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
Cr lIIS DAY.)
The May general sessions for the county of Middlesex
commenced this morning at ten o'clock, iu the Court House,
Clerkenwell-green, before the Assistant-judge, and a full
bench of magistrates.
The calendar contained the names of eighty-one prisoners,
seventy-one of whom were charged with felony.
The ASSISTANT•JUDGE, in charging the grand jury, said
there were two subjects now occupying a large share of
public attention—he meant the system of punishment
adopted in the case of juvenile offenders, and. the subject of

transportation. At the present session the number of boys
for trial were twenty-one, being little less than one-third of
the whole number, and with respect to several of those un-
fortunate boys he really did not know what to do with them
if they were convicted ; and, as if to increase the difficulty,
the Government now had come to the determination that—
no matter what might be the prisoners' character, whether
good or bad, convicted or otherwise—to qualify
them to be received in the prison at Parkhouse,
they must be of a particular height. The Learned Judge
here read the names of several destitute children, who were
for trial at the present sessions, and some of whom were not
above four feet in height, and asked what was to become of
them, as they weremost of them either orphans or had been
deserted by their parents. With respect to the Bill on the
subject of juvenile offenders now before the House of Com-
mons, he most earnestly hoped that that clause authorising
magistrates to convict children summarily without the
intervention of a jury, would never receive the sanction of
Parliament, because a long experience had taught him that
no matter how amiable or kind-hearted the individual
might be, there was, in too many instances, an absence of
that training of mind necessary to qualify a man for weigh-
ing the various points of evidence, and coming to that cool
decision so necessary for due administration ,of justice. Upon
the subject of transportation, a great change was likely
to be effected by public opinion, but he did not
think its total abolition would ever be sanctioned. As it at
present stood, its administration was most mischievous, and
called loudly for reform, but still he thought when amelio-
rated it should be retained, because no convict upon his
release from a long term of imprisonment!could hope to com-
pete in this country with one untainted by crime, although
he might do well in one of the colonies. _

An Denovas was indicted for stealing three loaves of
bread, the property of John Fletcher.
The prisoner entered the shop of the prosecutor. and stole
the bread; when she was taken into custody, and upon being
searched a quantity of silver, three gold rings, and a number
of duplicates were found upon her by the female searcher, to
whom the prisoner offered the gold rings and money, •in case
she said nothing about the duplicates.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner
was sentenced to four months' imprisonment in the House of
Correction.
