London, England, 1847-03-16 00:00:00

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.

A curious scene took place in the Chamber of
Deputies during the course of the debate on Satur-
day. The Minister of Finance presented a Bill for
legalising the contract entered into between the Go-
vernment and Messrs. llEuoux and HuNDEL, for the
establishment of a steam-packet service between
Havre and New York. The Minister proceeded to
read the contract entered into between " His Excel-
lency the Minister of Finance and Messrs. HEROUX
and HuNDen." The word " Excellency " roused the
ire of the Republican party of the Chamber. Up
rose M. GLAIS BIZOIN. " I have an observation of
some importance," said this Hon. Deputy, " to ad-
dress to the Chamber. I find in the preamble of the,
agreement entered into with HEROUX and HUNDEL a
word that could only have crept in through inadver-
tence on the part of the Minister of Finance. In
this preamble I read these words : 'Between his Ex-
cellency the Minister of Finance.' Well! Since
1830 we have had no Excellencies."—(A laugh.)
Hereupon several voices exclaimed, " The title of
Monseigneur has alone been suppressed ;" whereupon
b. GIAIS BIZOIN rejoined, "There are only Minis..
tern.—(Agitation.) I hope that no one here will
attempt to restore the word Excellency to the Par-
liamentary vocabulary." The Minister declared that
the word had been used by his predecessors, and that
he would continue its use ; whereupon M. LHER-
BETTE said, " I formally demand the omis,ion of the
word, not because it is a word of insignificance in itself,
I but because the use of such a word has a tendency to
revive the usages of a former regime. Recollect that
contemporaneously with the use of this expression
we find our Ambassadors making use of a new sort
of language. They no longer speak of the monarch,
but of their niaster. Considering him also as their
sole master, they invariably sink the word ' national,'
and in all cues ice-establish the word 'royal. On
every occasion they revive these ancient symbols."
This speech of M. J4HERRETTE produced such
a scene of agitation that, the debate was Uiti-
gajourned. Wherti cannot, . bowever, be

a doubt but that M. LHERBETTE is right.
Louis PIaILIPPE is endeavouring to restore every•
thing in France as it was before 1830, everything
save the dynasty.

There still remains to be obtained a quantity of
foreign corn, equal to seventeen days' consumption,
or 340,000 tons, to provide for the food of the people
until the next harvest. The following observations
from a letter, addressed by the Mayor of Rennes to
the Echo Agricole, are worthy the attention of those
who find fault with our own Government for not in-
terfering with the corn trade :—"lt is no doubt
praiseworthy," says this letter, " for the authorities
of a town or district to associate and advance money
to purchase and import foreign corn to keep down
the markets, but, unfortunately, such measures pro-
duce alarm and consequent hoarding, and thus defeat
the intended object."
Queen CHRISTINA has arrived in Paris.

We find the following in the Union Monarchique :
" We are assured that Count Bresson, who is at present in
Paris, has declared to the Government that he is firmly re-
solvvd not to return to Madrid. The repeated requests of
M. Guizot, and even of a still more influential person, have
not succeeded in overcoming Count Bresson's determination.
This resolution causes at this moment the more embarrass-
ment to the Government, as Count Bresson insists on the
performance of the promise formerly made to him of the
embassy to Rome or to Vienna."
The Funds remained stationary in Paris on Sunday. The
attendance of speculators at the Passage tie l'Opera was im-
mense, but so nicely balanced were hopes and tears that none
ventured on a sale or a purchase.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CIIANCHLLOK of ENGLAND.)
BIRCH V. JAY.
The arguments in this ca' 'e were resumed to•day.
(Before Sir J. WIGWAM.)
HUMBLE V. sii.o3.E.
This case turned upon the construction of a will, the tes-
tatrix divided her estate into six parts, one of which she left
to Sarah Whittaker; but by a codicil to her will she re-
voked this legacy, and the question at issue was as to its
disposition.
His Manna delivered judgment to-day, and decided that
the intention of the testatrix, though the will was ambigu-
ously worded, was that this sixth of her estate should be
given to the other legatees. He was also of opinion that the
tenant for life was not entitled to any interest during the first
year.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Edward Bunney, landlord of the Fitzroy Arms, Clipstone-
street, was placed in the dock before Mr. Bingham, charged
with violently assaulting Bennet Endean, on the 10th inst.,
by striking him on the head with a mallet, whereby his life
is despaired of.
It appeared that, in consequence of information received
on the previous afternoon, from Sergeant Park, of the
E division, that a man was in the Middlesex Hospital,
who had been taken there on Wednesday last, in a very
precarious state, from injuries inflicted by his master, Mr.
Bingham, accompanied by the second clerk, and Smith, the
usher, proceeded to the above hospital, to take the injured
man's depositions, who stated that his name was Bennet
Endean, and that he was potman in the employ of the pri-
soner. On Wednesday last deponent was in the tap-room,
between three and four o'clock in the afternoon. The pri-
soner came in, and told him that he had taken too much
drink, and cautioned hint against drinking with the
men. Deponent said lie had not been drinking,
and followed the prisoner to the bar, and asked
him to pay him his wages, and he would leave.
The prisoner refused to do so, and after a few words, he took
up a wooden mallet, and struck him a violent blow on the
head. He recollected nothing further.
Police-constable, 105 .E, stated that between three and four
o'clock on the afternoon of Wednesday last he was on duty
in Clipstone-street. when a person met him, and informed him
that the prisoner had struck his potboy on the head with a
mallet. Ile proceeded to the Fitzroy Arms, and saw the
potin:in in the front. of the bar, bleeding from a severe wound
in the head. Dr. Weeks came, and after dressing his head,
recommended his immediate removal to the hospital,' where
he now remains in a very precarious state.
Police-constable, E 111, said lie was on duty in Clipstone-
street, The prisoner, on his informing him that he must
consider himself in custody, replied that lie was very sorry
indeed for what he had done. Ile then took him to the sta-
tion. Ile produced the surgeon's certificate, which stated
that " Bennet Etidean we.s suffering from erysipelas, in con-
sequence of a severe wound in the head, and at present was
in a dangerous state."
Mr. Towns, ml, the prisoner's solicitor, applied to have the
prisoner admitted to bail, but

Mr. BINGHAM said, that at present the charge bore too
serious au aspect to do that! He should therefore remand
him for a week.

PROTEST of POLISH EMIGRANTS
ACTAIXST THE TREATY OF VIENNA.

We have received a comnrunication from Mr. V. 0.
Zienkiewies, the chairman, and Mr. J. Wellman, the
• secretary of a public meeting of Polish emigrants, held
on thu 6th of March, at 41, King-street, Snow-hill, at
which the Bolts present, lest their silence should be
construed into an acquiescence in the views adopted pay
some of the speakers at the meeting at Freemasons'
Hall (viz., that the treaty of Vienna was binding on
Poland), came to the following resolutions:—
"1. That the Vienna compact in 1815, and its stipulations,
were entered into without the consent of Poland, against its
wish, will, and imprescriptible rights.
" 2. That the compact of Vienaa sanctioned the immrtral
and violent dismemberments of Poland in 1773, 1793, 1795,
perpetrated without the consent of Great Britain and Ireland.
" 3. That this Vienna treaty established the hereditary
and .Muscovite dynasty in Poland.
"4. That this iniquitous compact stigmatises as a rebel-
lion, as a state crime, all the etlbrts of the Poles to regain
ancient, entire, and independent Poland. The Poles against •
these and other immoralities and violations of their innate •
and imprescriptible rights, sanctioned by the Vienna treaty,
have protested, and shall ever protest, not only by words,
but by their deeds and their blood."

These resolutions, it is stated, were come to with all
duo deference to the honourable speakers and friends of
Poland who attended the meeting held at the Free-
masons' Tavern, and with an expression of 'heartfelt
gratitude for their zeal, solicitude, and good wishes for
Poland. The emigrants thus assembled repudiate all
connexion with the " Committee of Poles residing in
England," which committee does not repre,ent their
feelings or wishes.

,g DON'T YOU REMEMBER ?"
(From the Di...patch.)
Oh ! these are the words that eternally utter
The spell that is seldom cast o'er us is vain ;
Wilt the wings and the wand of a fairy they flutter,
And draw a charmed circle about us again.
We return to the spot where our Infancy gamboll'd ;
We linger once more in the haunts of out Youth :
We re-tread where young Passion first stealthily rambled,
And whispers are heard full of Nature and Iruth,
Saying, "Don't you remember ?"
We treasure the picture where Colour seems breathing
in lineaments mocking a long-worshipp'd face;
We are proud of some tress in a chain of close wreathing,
And gold-links of Ophir are poor in its place.
Oh! what is the secret tbat giveth them power
To fling out a star on our darkest of ways?
'Tis the tone of Afre:tion—Life's holiest power—
That murmurs about them and blisfully says
"Don't you remember ?"
The voice of Old Age, while it tells some old story,
Exults o'er the tale with fresh warmth in the breast;
As the haze of the twilight e'er deepens the glory
Of beams that are fist gcing down in the west.
When the friends of our Boyhood are gathered around us,:
The spirit retraces its wild flower track;
The heart is still held by the strings that first bound us
And Feeling keeps singing, while wandering back,
"Don't you remember?"
When those whom we prized have departed for ever,
Yet perfume is shed o'er the cypress we twine;
Yet fond Recollection refuses to sever,
And turns to the Past, like a saint to the shrine.
Praise carved on the marble is often deceiving,
The gaze of the stranger is all it may claim ;
But the strongest of love and the purest of grieving
Are heard when lip dwell on the missing one's name,
Saying, " Dont you remember!'
ELIZA COOK.

ACCIDENT TO MN. WAGLIORN.—This indefatigable
traveller, while crossing the Alps with ➢ir. Austin, the en-
gineer and surveyor, was upset in his carriage. An ava-
lanche had fallen across the road, which had been cleared
away only from half the breadth of the road. It being night,
the postillion did not see it, and he drove one wheel up the
slope of the bank, and overturned the carriage. Neither Mr.
NVaghorn or his companion were, however, in the smallest
degree hurt.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The =Triage of the
Viscotmt Ebrington with the Honourable Miss Dawson
Darner was solemnized on Thursday last, at Came House,
Dorset, in the presence of Prince Louis Napoleon, and a select
family circle.
THE LATE ACCIDENT AT OSBORNE HOUSE.—The
man Blake, who was so severely injured by the accident at
Osborne House on Thursday, has since died from the injuries
he received.

VISIT OF THE DUCHESS OF KENT TO GERMANY, &C.
—The Duchess of Kent is expected to leave England early
in the spring (probably shortly after Easter) for the Conti-
nent, proceeding first to Brussels, upon a visit to her brother,
the King of the Belgians, and thence to Germany, to pay a
visit of two or three months' duration to her Royal High-
ness'b relations at Saxe Coburg and Saxe Gotha, and in
some other of the German States, previously to returning to
England. It is stated that her Royal Highness will probably
take Paris en route to this country from Germany, and will
be the gu,ist of Louis Pl.ilippe, at the Tuileries, during her
short stay in the French capital.
The Council of the British Archrealogical Associa-
tion, at a meeting held on 'Wednesday, Sir W. Chatterton
Bart., Vice-President, in the chair, decided upon holding
the fourth annual Congress at Warwick during the last week
in July.
CANTERBURY ELECTION.--The election of a islern-
r of Parliament for the city of Canterbury took place
yesterday. Lord Albert Conyngham being unopposed, was
returned. His Lordship was proposed by Mr. Alderman
Brent, and seconded by Mr. Alderman Neame.
HERTFORD AND , HITCHIN RAILWAY.—A public
meeting of the inhabitants of Hertford, called by the mayor,
in compliance with a requisition which was signed by most
of the respectable inhabitants of the borough, was held at the
Town Hall, on Tuesday evening, for the purpose of consider-
ing a petition to Parliament, in favour of the line of railway
which is projected by the Eastern Counties Railway Com-
pany, from Hertford to Hitcbin. A petition in favour of the
direct line from Hertford to nitObill WAS Ulleilkapuey
Adopted, sad the hellineell c,106d.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about
3,000 bales, including 500 for export. The market con-
tinued dull and heavy, very little change, though
prices tended downwards. The sales included 600 Pernanis
and Maranhams at 7d. to 7`441., 50 Bahia at 7d. to 74d.,
50 Sea Island at 13id. to 170., and 2,300 American at 6d.
to lid. per lb.
Railway Shares were quiet and flat in price generally.
Accounts from Belgium state that a very patriotic propo-
sition had been made by a merchant of Bruges, viz., to ab-
stain entirely from speculations in grain, and to make no
purchases excepting in foreign markets. Several parties had
already acquiesced, and a bond was to be signed, by
which a penalty of, 100 francs was to be incurred in
every case where tlie parties bought home-grown corn.
The object, of course, is to leave the market to the unre-
stricted influence of supply and demand, and to keep prices
at a moderate level, which would be the case probably were
the dealings direct between the grower and the consumer.
Imports of foreign grain are the legitimate province of the
merchant, and as an importer he confers a direct benefit on
his country, while the mere speculator for a rise aggravates
the necessities of the poor.
An ordinance of King Leopold provides for the admission
into Belgium, duty free, of salted and cured meats.
The Exchange from Hamburgh comes rather higher under
date of Friday last, viz., 13 3% for three months' bills on
London. The price of gold was 432.
In the recent accounts from New Orleans we are furnished
with certain particulars which convey a good idea of the ex-
tensive employment of shipping in the Mexican war. One
party writv...s—
The quartermaster's department still are taking up more
ves,,els, and we learn that there are now but six or eight un-
engaged American ships in port. The Government have at
present at least 20,000 to 25,000 tons of merchant vessels in
their employ, which haVe"been chartered in this port, within
a few weeks. The rates at which they have been engaged
will average from ten to twelve dollars per ton per mouth,
which is a profitable employment for the vessels, but under the
present rates and prospects for freights to Europe, notonly here,
but also in all the other ports of the United States, they could
not have been obtained on more favourable terms. At Mobile
we understand, there is nut a single unengaged vessel.
The withdrawal of so large a quantity of tonnage 'from the
regular employment, will naturally tend to advance freights,
and to keep them up during the season, and we are among
those who sincerely rejoice that our shipowners have the
prospect of one good business season, after so., many of de-
pression and loss to that important interest. The present
expenditure of the Government, for the hire of vessels, in-
cluding steam• boats, cannot be less than 5 to 600,000 delis.
per month, as in audition to those chartered here, there are a
great number at other parts, carrying troops and supplies to
the seat of war."

There is quite an exhilarating appearance in the English
Stock Market to-day, and the Bears have been buying in
accounts, although there is an occasional reaction. Thus,
Consols opened at 881/2 3/4 for transfer, and 88% % for time,
the transactions since having been elected at 88,t ils, and

Bonds are rather firmer, however, at 2234 to 23. Portuguese
Four per Cents. are 34. Mexican have been flat at 21%.
Dutch Stock has been more buoyant.
Railway Shares have rather participated in the advance in
stocks.
