might, perhaps, have gone quite as far as the Quotidienne
charges us with having gone, and still been very near
the truth, for the Constitutionnel, which is an Opposi-
tion journal, but without dynastic enmity, in giving an
account of the effect produced by the passage of the
speech which, according to the Messenger, produced
loud and hearty cries of Vive le Roi! says, " At these
last words, which the King pronounced with great emo-
tion, long-continued cries of Vine le Rai! broke forth
from the whole of the Chamber and from the public
galleries2' With such evidence to back our own, we
may surely take the liberty of requesting the Quoti-
dienne to ..be less hasty in its notice of our reports.
The result of the ballot in the Chamber of Deputies
for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency is thus noticed
by the Debuts :
" The ballot of yesterday is already a significative re-
ply by the Chamber to the Speech from the Throne.
The Journals of the Left had not failed in the morning
to declaim with great violence. They cried out trea-
son, and appealed to revolutionary hatred and revolu-
tionary passions. The Chamber has replied by the
nomination of its President and Vice-Presidents, all of
whom are chosen from the constitutional party. This
is the first defeat of the disastr,:us illusions under which
M. Thiers laboured as to the state of the country.
The oldest Deputies have no recollection of the elec-
tion of a President and Vice. Presidents in the same sit-
ting for the last ten years. What hastened the opera-
tion was the good understanding of the constitutional
party. There was no division, no hesitation ; the con-
stitutional party consolidated its strength. it. is as strong
as ever it was, because it is united. It has seen the
perils of the country, and has undertaken to avert them
by its zeal and its union. It has already begun to
keep its word, and it will persevere to the end of the
work."

The Coustitutiolincl says—
" We will not seek to delude the country ; the choke
made in the bureaux of the Chamber, and the nomina-
tions to the Presidency and Vice-Presidency are fa-
vourable to the Ministry. In the bureaux it has 12 out
of IS. M. Sauzet, the President, and three of the
Vice-Presidents, MM. Dutaure, Jacqueminot, and Sal-
vandy, were its candidates. M. Calmon was proposed
both by the Ministry and the Opposition. We do not
hesitate to acknowledge that, if the opinions of the
Chamber should continue to be expressed in the same
sense, the Ministry trill have a majority of about sixty
votes. But we have pretty serious doubts as to the
perseverance of the Chamber. Personal questions are
not always a decisive test. A particular candidateship
may bare frightened timid men, who certainly did not
mean to tie themselves up body and soul to the Mi-
nistry, in preferring M. Sluzet to M. Odillon Barr,,t.
There will be more than one disappointment for
those who reckon upon the ballot of yi storday, and
the questions of events have so much importance,
that it would be rash to prejudge them by a de-
cision which may have been singularly influenced
by personal considerations. We reserve the future,
but we do not make the present better than it is.
The choice of the Chamber will create a painful sensa-
tion in the country. Its confidence in our institutions
may be diminished by it, and this is the greatest misfor-
tune that could happen to a bad Ministry. The Cham-
ber ought to be the sincere organ of the national feel-
ing ; it it misrepresents it, the country has no longer any
faith is the Chamber, and the worst of situations is that
in which the nation has no lodger any faith in the insti-
tutions by which it is governed."
The Courrier Francais says on the same subject :
" We do not attempt to delude ourselves as to the
disposition of the Chamber ; it will give a majority to
the Ministry which guarantees peace ; act, however,
because it has a sincere predilection for the present Mi-
nistry', or that it applauds what they wish to do ; on
the contrary, the Deputies in general have no sy ntpathy
for the person or the views of M. Guizot ; the prodi-
galities of Marshal Soult irritate them, and the capacity
of M. Martin (du Nord) is not of a nature to inspire
confidence. The majority will abandon the Ministry,
' when it shall have no longer need of it. fit this mo-
ment fear unites the Chamber and the Cabinet. They
are now accomplices i❑ sentiment, but they are without
community of opinion."
The Sieele takes the same view as the Courricr:—
" All the deductions which can be made," says this
journal, " show that reversing about .20 votes wou!d
hasten the fall of the new Cabinet. M. Guizot and his
colleagues may consider as certain, that from the day
when they shall have definitively signed a compact of
shame with the allies their Ministerial existence will
not be long." • .

THE SUIT IN CHANCERY.—We understand
that Friday the 13th inst. is the day fixed for the argu-
ment in the Court of Exchequer, on the demurrers en-
tered by the defendants to a bill of discovery filed in the
Hi;h Court of Chancery by the heiresses-at-law of the
late William Hcatley, Esq., of Brindle.lodge, Lancashire,
The Rev. Di s. Briggs, Brown, Lingard, Newsham, Youens,
Thompson, Crooke, &c., it is said, will be subl,osned on
' the part of the plaintiffs, at the trial, which is expected
to take place at the.next Spring Ass zcs for the county of
Lancaster. Mr. Cresswell, we bear, is rotained.
CONCEitTSD'HTVER—DRURY-LANE THEA-
TRE.—The masterly arrangement and production of the
whole of Matthew Locke's fine music in Macbeth, at
these concerts, must be considered a triumph in the true
English school of music. .Mr. Eliason has thus well be-
gun to fulfil a premise early announced that the works of
eminent English composers should be presented by him
during the season; and that his justly popular concerts
should not be altogether indebted to foreign genius and
art, as was more than hinted by his opponents at the
commencement of his campaign. The supernatural cha-
racted of the music in Macbeth, the appropriate grandeur
and fullness of its bases, and the sprightly witchery of the
tenors, and the true and original genius which marks
every passage, have always rendered the music not the least
attraction in the tragedy. But for many years, nay, in-
deed, until the production of the play at Covent-garden
under Mr. Macready's able management, the music pre-
sented was patchy and bald ; being confined to little more
than a chorus or two given by second and third-rate singers.
Whoever has performed the task of arrangement at Drury-
lane, signifies little ; it is well done. TLC passages es-
pecially allotted to the epLicleide (Prospere); cornets a
piston (Koenig and Musard, jun.); tromboni (Dantonet,
&c. ); oboe (Barret), tell wonderfully well. The effect
of the whole may in some degree be judged of by the un-
divided attention with which it is listened to ; and the en-
thusiastic applause with which it is followed. Deserving,
if not of equal praise, yet of high eulogy, as being of the
English class, is the production of Balfe's grand trio, from
the opera of Falstaff, arranged for three cornets a piston,
and skilfully played by Koenig, Jarrett, and Musard, jun.
The composition is admirably adapted to the instrument.
The overtures to Le Pre aux Clercs, The Siege of Co-
rinth, and Euryanthe, together with (first time) sundry
valses and solo=, form the staple for the week. The music,
however, of Macbeth will of itself be a sufficient induce-
ment to all lovers of good music to visit the Concerts
d'Hivcr.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT RICHMOND,
SURREY.—The inhabitants of the town of Richmond have
been fur some time past thrown in'o a state of no ordinary
excitement in consequence of a lady residing at Knights
bridge having disputed the right of Mr. Smith, the Vestry
Clerk of the parish, and also the Deputy Lord of the
Manor, to lease out certain properties which are at pre-
sent in the possession of some person of rank residing in
the immediate vicinity. On Friday a handsome equipage,
drawn by two horses, drew up in front of West Hall, the
residence of Alexander Stuart M.Kenzie, Esq., and
known formerly as the Old Palace. The family mansion
being left in the care of servants during the absence of
Mr. M'Ker.zie from this country, immediate admission
was given to the parties occupying the carriage, and
a scene of indescribable confusion followed. A lady,
approaching the middle age, elegantly attired, accom-
panied by two gentlemen, demanded possession of the
noble pile of building, upon the ground that she
was heiress to the property, and upon meeting with a
repulse from 111'Culloch, one of Mr. Al' Kenzie's
servants, she proceeded to give directions to re-
move a turf in the garden, and formally took possession,
of the estate. The necessary forms ware gone through,
the lady herself taking possession of the keys of Hest
Hall ; the servants sent for the police, constables were
soon upen the spot, and it then transpired that the lady's
name was Mrs. Nelson, that she resided at Knightsbridge,
and having latterly lost a near, and, as it is rumoured,
a ealthy relative, she had determined upon the novel course
of taking possession of what she conceived to he her pro-
perty vi et armis, rather than submit to the procrastina-
tion of the Court of Chancery. She was conducted to
the station. liaise, and there she was charged by
M'Culloch with stealing the two door keys ; but, after
some delay, the acting inspector allowed her to go at
large, upon Mr. Joslyn, of High-street, Shadwell, a friend
who accompanied her, becoming answerable for her ap-
pearance next morning. The following morning (Satur-
day) Mrs. Nelson was examined on a charge of felony,
and the evidence of the taking of the keys having been
adduced, Mr. M'Keuzie accepted a promise from the
lady that she would not attempt to take possession of the
premises again, unless sanctioned by law so to do. Mrs.
Nelson, in the course of the inquiry, alleged some serious
charges against parties of high rank, and stated that she
would, in less than a week, iortify herself with the autho-
rity of the Court of Queen's Bench. The pledge of non-
intrusion, however, was given, and the lady was discharged.

The Misses Jamieson, who have long main-
tained a high reputation for the superior quality of their
productions, were lately favoured with an order for six
baby frocks of the most ceqly description. These have
just been completed in a style of ekgance far surpassing
anything hitherto produced undcr the denomination of the
Ayrshire needlework. From the Royal insignia, com-
bined with the general design of the ornaments, there can
be no doubt that the frocks are intended for the Queen,
though not ordered directly by her Majesty. No price
and no expense was to be spared—terms suffi-
was fixed,
ciently liberal to imply that the order came from no com-
mon personage.—Ayr Observer.
