BOULOGNE, THURSDAY.—The prisoners left
at an eat ly hour this morning in several diligences, under
a strong escort of mounted gendarmerie. Not more than
five or six prisoners were placed in each diligence. Every
precaution was taken to prevent disorder in their depar-
ture; and, had any disturbance been attempted, there was
sufficient force in this city to put it down. The following
are the names of the prisoners sent by the first diligences
—Count de Montholon, Marquis de Montauban, Lieut.-
Colonel Laborde, Colonel Parquin, Mesonan of the Staff,
Desjardins, Lambert, Corsy, Galvany, Aladenize of the
421 Bataille, Marquis Ornano, Count de Persigny, and
d'Alembert. It is said that Captain Crowe will be sent
also to take his trial, but that the crew of the City of
Edinburgh will be liberated to-night.
MURDER OF MR. HORNBY'S GAMEKEEPER.
—Adam Mercer, who has been in custody for some time
on the charge of being concerned with John Crossley and
John Abbott, in the murder of the gamekeeper of W.
H. Hornhy, Esq., was brought before John Lister, Esq.,
on Mondry last, from the Preston House of Correction,
where he has been confined to allow time for the appre-
Ilen-ion of his accomplices in the bloody deed. Hitherto,
however, all search for them has been unavailing. The
prisoner was ordered to be sent to Lancaster, where his
case will be heard to-day, and a bench warrant granted,
provided he can procure two bondsmen for his appearance
when called upon, on the apprehension of his companions,
to answer the charge of wilful murder.—Blackburn Gaz.
MIXED MARRIAGES IN HUNGARY.—A Vi-
cnna letter states that the Bishops of Hungary have ad..
dressed pastoral letters to their clerg.%, interdicting them
from bestowing their benedictions on mixed marriages, but
at the same time allowing them to be present as simple spec.
tators, and without their sacerdotal robes, at marriages so-
lemnised by Protestant ministers.
