BISHOPSGATE WARD,
At twelve o'clock this day a Wardmote was held at the
School-rOoms, in Peter-street, Bishopsgate, to elect
Common Councilmen and other ward officers, for the
year ensuing.
Alderman COPELAND presided, and briefly addressed
the meeting, and proceeded to the business of the day,
stating, that as the election of Common Councilmen was
the all-engrossing matter, he should proceed with the
election of the other officers first in order to insure at-
tention.
This having been done, the list of persons nominated
by the different precincts was then read, as follows :
Messrs. Richard Howell, T. Rodgers, T. Welch, Richard
Thomas, Solomon Bennett, C. Gibson, W. H. Pitcher,
M. E. Wilkinson, Thomas Tagg, Wm. Jones, Wm.
Stevens (Deputy), W. A. Peacock (Deputy), H. Patten,
William Barker.

Mr. Wm. Day resigned.
Mr. Johnsen, who formerly served the office for four

of allowances to freemen's widows, which Mr. Stevens
negatived, the candidates were called upon to address
the meeting previous to the show of hands, and one of
the speakers had commenced when our reporter left.

,
The letters of Mr. Davis (the surgeon referred
to by the proposal, and examined for the plaintiffs
on the trial) were dated March 1836 and de-
scribed Mr. Talbot's habits as having been form-
erly intemperate; and that his face bore the
marks of irregular habits, but added that he had
reformed, and was at that period perfectly mode-
rate, and temperate, and of sound constitution.
In August, 1837, the policy was granted; and an
extra premium charged in respect of deteriora-
tion by the before-mentioned intemperance, (as
no man can repeatedly indulge in excess with
perfect impunity), the substance of Mr. Davis's
letters being WARRANTED by the plaintiffs. The
very considerable interval of supposed good con-
duct, induced the office to effect the insurance; it
being their uniform practice to wholly reject all
cases of continuous intemperance, as leading to
results not to be predicted by medical acumen,
nor estimated by any observations, however ex-
tensive. The Directors having subsequently
learned that Mr. Talbot had not reformed, tend-
ered back the pre:-.lium within three months, and
forthwith filed a bill in Equity to raise the ques-
tion on merits during Mr. Talbot's life-time—nay,
on the present record_ they put the single issue
on their ability to prove Intemperance, by plead-
ing that fact with what is called verification—
thereby taking the onus probandi on themselves,
and, consequently, relieving the plaintiffs from
any proof whatever. The latter, however, de-
clined the offer in open Court, merely for the
sake of beginning and ending with speeches from
their own counsel. The verdict you know was
for the defendant.—Your obedient servant.

The death of Mingh-Afengh, Emperor of Cochin-
China, is announced in the French Journals of Tuesday.
This tyrant persecuted the Christians for ten years with
more than Japanese cruelty. His common mode of ex-
terminating them was by crucifixion. His death is re-
garded at Rome as a special interposition of Heaven in
favour of the Church. His successor is stated to be a
very tolerant Prince.
The storm which burst over London on Friday last
was felt at the same time over every part of France.
At Lille the lightning struck a tree within forty yards of
the powder magazine. Had it reached the magazine,
the destruction would have been terrific.

The affair of Didier of Grenoble is again revived. Up-
wards of eighty letters written by the Duke de Decazeb
have been discovered. The Commerce begs that no
pains may be spared to clear up this myste-
rious transaction. It might be much better to bury it
altogether in oblivion—at least during the life-time of the
principal actors in it. These are truths which the world
is the better for not knowing.
The Hungarian papers announce the creation of a
National Hungarian Bank at Pest.
The Editor of a Dusseldorf Journal has been con-
demned to six months' imprisonment, and deprivation of
civil rights for five years, for a defamation of a private
individual. , The sentence involves the suppression of the
journal.
The Duke of Bordeaux according to a medical certificate
published in the Augsburgh Gazette, will be perfectly
restored. The bones of the broken limb are perfectly
united, and the length and form of the limb are the same
as before the accident occurred. There is now no appre-
hension of any unpleasant consequences to be entertained.
The cure will be complete, and the fracture will leave no
trace.

We learn from Madrid of the 31st that the Spanish
authorities had not the boldness to tell the French Go-
vernment that it must evacuate the Isla del Hey at
Mahon. It secretly ordered the local authorities at
Minorca to inform the French there to evacuate the
island at the termination of the lease, on that
mode of proceeding being communicated to M.
Guizot. he expressed his astonishment and displeasure
to M. Hernandez, the Spanish Minister at Paris. The
Spanish Government, on hearing that the affair had
taken a reverse turn, sought to throw the blame on the
local authorities, but M. Guizot, as he did not wish,
under all circumstances, to retain the island, against which
Great Britain had remonstrated, would not be appeased,
and declared that the French Government would eva-
cuate the island on the expiration of the lease, and re-
move the sick to the Hyeres Islands.

THE WEATHER.—PARIS, MONDAY.—The
cold was unusually severe for the time of the year on
Saturday night and early yesterday morning. At mid-
night on Saturday the thermomater'siood at 10 1-10th
above Zero of the Centigrade scale, or 501 of Fahren-
heit ; at four yesterday morning,it was at 8 C.. or 461
F., a degree so low that M. elievalier, of the Tour
d'Horloge, declares it to have been unparalleled in the
early part of September during the last forty years. At
six the mercury rose to 10 5-10 C., or 50k- F., and at
seven to 12 3-10 C., or 541 F. The afternoon was wet,
cold, and uncomfortable. During the storm on Friday
evening, a tree near the bridge of Asnieres was struck
by lightning, and stripped of its bark from the top down
to the roots. The storm appears to have been severely
felt at Rouen and the adjacent parts of Normandy, as
well as Lille and the surrounding districts. Hail fell at
Evreux of an enormous size. At Lille the lightning
struck a tree on the ramparts, close to the powder
magazine.
At a General Monthly Meeting of the Chartists
of this town, held on Wednesday evening last at their
meeting-room in Portland-street, the following resolution
was carried by acclamation :—" Resolved, that the
thanks of this meeting are due and are truly presented
to Captain Pechell, one of the Members for this borough,
for his manly vote in support of the addition to the Ad •
dress to the Queen, as moved by Mr. Sharman Crawford
in the House of Commons on Saturday last."—Brighton

11.G1XCULTUrailL.

The floods of rain which came down on Friday and
Saturday last caused the Severn to rise most rapidly,
laying the adjoining lands under water. The coldness
of the season, added to these rains, has been exceedingly
unfavourable to the harvest.

In Worcestershire the barley crop has been mostly
carried, but will not be a heavy one. Of wheat, even
on the early soils, there will be scarcely an average per
acre. Oats are good, peas a fair crop, and turnips
look well.

SCXENCE AND ART.
At a late sitting of the Academy of Sciences, Paris, M.
Colladon gave an account of experiments made on the
Lake of Geneva relative to the propagation of sound.
Under favourable circumstances he considers sound may
be transmitted through the sea for a distance of 60 Eng-
lish miles.

LAW ANI POLICE.

At Worship-street on Wednesday, Lewis Ashford and
Benjamin Valentine, Jews, were charged with having
assisted in the robbery of the creditors of David Cha-
poski, a Polish Jew, trimming-manufacturer at Bethnal-
green. Ashford had been employed by Chaposki to go
about the country to sell tassels, fringe, &c., and about
five weeks since, being provided with 401. worth of these
goods, obtained a free passage to Sydney. His employer
heard of this, and obtained a warrant, which was exe-
cuted in Holland previous to the day he was about to
leave for England, and he was brought to London with
part of Chaposki's propert•. Next day, when the charge
was brought against him, the prisoner accused his em-
ployer with being as guilty as himself, since which Cha-
poski has not been heard of. Valentine was apprehended
on a charge of being an accomplice of Chaposki's, who
had become a bankrupt last April, and assigned all his
property to his creditors ; but the articles produced, as
well as other hidden property, were not in the schedule
presented to the Court. The prisoners were committed
for trial at the ensuing Central Criminal Court.
John Quin, and a well-known beggar, named Hogg,
were charged at Marlborough-street for attempting to
obtain money from several Members of Parliament, by
representing themselves as inhabitants of the different
boroughs which they represented, and soliciting alms.
They were sentenced to one month's imprisonment.
An application was made at Lambeth-street, on the
part of the Teetotallers accustomed to assemble on the
first floor of a large building in Glasshouse-yard, Rose-
mary-lane. Mr. Jacks, who occupied the lower part of
the building, as a wine and spirit merchant, had ignited a
quantity of straw at the bottom of the stairs, with the in-
tention of " burning the teetotal Paddies out." Mr. Jacks,
in defence, complained of the nuisance occasioned to him
by hundreds dancing Irish jigs over his head, and by the
vibrations breaking his bottles. The annoyance being
thus pro and con, the Magistrate said he should put the
law in force against the party first offending next time.
Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esq., the City Police Com-
missioner, has ordered that no police constable in future
have power to enter a dwelling to make search without a
Magistrate's order.

James Acland, Esq., has addressed a printed circular
to the electors of Tamworth, calling on them to support
him as a candidate against Sir Robert Peel.
The attention paid by the Liberal electors of North
Northumberland to the registration will effectually pre-

Mr. Gisborne, formerly M.P.—for Derbyshire, is to op-

SPORTING.

Owing to the lateness of the harvest shooting did not
commence about Cambridge till Monday. . Sportsmen
complain of the scarcity of birds, doubtless arising from
the wetness of the season. One sportsman states that in
a field in this county nearly fifty young partridges were
found, which had no doubt perished from the inclemency
of the weather.

COMMERCIAL REF OEM.

A preliminary meeting of the Reformers of Holloway
was held at the Cock Tavern, Highgate-hill, on Wednes-
day last, for the formation of an Auxiliary Corn-law
Association. After an energetic address of two hours by
Mr. Sidney Smith, it was agreed to call another meet-
ing for the same purpose that day week.
At a recent meeting held at Chichester, in the Inde-
pendent Chapel of that city, the Rev. W. Malden, on his
return from Manchester, gave an eloquent account of the
Conference. The following resolution was seconded and
unanimously passed :—" That in the opinion of this
meeting the Conference of Christian Ministers lately held
in the town of Manchester is entitled to the thanks of the
nation, that their proceedings were characterised by
Christian kindness towards the poor, and that it is the
duty of the city of Chichester to petition the Legislature
to repeal those laws which restrict the supply of food to
the people."
At a religious service held in Hackney on Monday
last, in reference to the Corn-laws, Dr. Pye Smith gave
a history of the Corn-laws, and pointed out their perni-
cious effects.

" Who runs may read:"

rozzunr.
As the insurrection progresses in Spain, the King of
the French ostentatiously parades his sympathy for the
insurgents in the person of Maria Christina. On Sunday
his Majesty, accompanied by the Queen and Madame
Adelaide, his sister, visited queen Christina at her hotel
in the Rue des Courcelles. Such a visit at such a time
must be regarded as in the highest degree hostile to the
Spanish Government. What would the French Govern-
ment say were Espartero, as Regent of Spain, to pay
visits to the young Duke of Bordeaux, at a time when
an insurrection in his name had broken out on the Py-
rennean frontier ? Would they not regard such an in-
decent proceeding as almost tantamount to a declaration
of war ?

The Gazette de France states that a Council of Mini-
sters was held on Sunday, to deliberate upon the menaces
of the Spanish Ambassador relative to the countenance
given by the Court to the Spanish insurgents. It was
decided, in order to quiet Spain, and to preserve the ap-
pearances of neutrality, to make a show of preventing
Queen Christina from leaving Paris. A telegraphic
despatch was also sent off to the provinces, to prevent
the Carlist officers from entering Spain. As these offi-
cers are not disposed to bare a blade in support of the
pretensions of Christina, their detension in France can
be of little consequence to the Spanish Government. No
orders were, however, issued to prevent the partisans of
Christina from crossing the frontier.
The National of Tuesday states that the report of the
attempted insurrection at Madrid, on the night of the
7th instant, communicated to the ex-Regent, differed
very materially from the published telegraphic despatch.
According to that Journal, Espartero's victory was com-
plete, and the leaders of the insurrection, taken with
arms in their hands, were shot. The number reported
is thirty. The object of the conspirators was to carry off
the young Queen and her sister.
The wealth of Queen Christina is enormous. Of the
property of King Ferdinand she carried out of Spain in
gold and jewels to the amount of sixty-five millions of
francs. She has immense stuns vested in the Securities
of England, France, Russia, and the United States.
With the sole exception of King Louis Philippe, Chris.
tina is the richest individual in Europe ; and. yet her
avarice, more than' her ambition, prompts the attempt to
revolutionize Spain.
It was reported on the Paris Bourse that General
Don Diego Leon was one of the conspirators shot. in
Madrid by order of the Regent:
The fortress of Parnpeluna, now in the possession of
General O'Donnell, is well provisioned, and mounts sixty
guns. It is so strong that military men in Spain have
declared that it is capable of resisting an army of 80,00 D
men with a hundred heavy guns.
The Sultana Ebedoullah, sister of the late Sultan
Mahmoud, died at Constantinople on the 17th ult. As
is customary in Turkey, she was buried on the same day.
The great Officers of State attended the funeral, which
was otherwise strictly private.
