LORDS' SUMMARY.

Lord REDSDALE explained, in relation to the faggot votes
in Huntingdonshire to which he had alluded some time since,
That the Duke of BVCRINGILIM was not concerned in Hun-
tingdon.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then rose to present a pe-
tition from the inhabitants of the colony of Van Diemen's Land,
complaining of the great number of convicts which had been
transported to that island, and which completely demoralised
colony, contrary to the understanding which I Iliad
been entered into with them at the time they
emigrated, and which was that no more convicts
should be sent than could be conveniently regulated, and
ultimately absorbed into the population of the
colony. The Noble Marquis then went into very
voluminous statistical details for the purpose of
shewing the importance of the colony, and the
manner in which the colony was damaged—its
progress arrested and its society demoralized by the
sink and refuse of society being transported there to the
amount of 16,000 in three years, which made it impossible
to reform the convicts, or to prevent the total demoralization
of the colony.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
An application was made to the Learned Commissioner for costs
under peculiar circumstances. From the facts stated it appeared
that a fiat in bankruptcy had been issued against a party who had
flied his petition in insolvency. On his applying for his final order, ho
was opposed on several grounds, and ultimately the petition was dis-
missed, as it was shown that the insolvent was a trader. The preient
application was made at the suggestion of the Taking Master for the
costs of that opposition.
The Learned COMMISSIONER after referring to the several Acts,
expressed his opinion that he could not allow any costs except those
incurred in carrying out the bankruptcy.
It was now, however, urged that it had been necessary to get that
petition dismissed before the flat could be issued.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said he would willingly make the
order if he had the power, but did not consider he had.

IN RE ----•
Application was made for a warrant against a debtor, summoned
under the new Act, who had not complied with an order of the
Court for payment of the debt. It appeared that he had attended on
a summons, in which only the initials of the Christian names were
inserted. • The debtor had paid part of this demand.
The COMMISSIONER said he could not venture to issue a warrant
with initials only„but would grant another summons, that the party
might be examined as W his Christian names.

AFFRAY WITH POACHERS.—An affray with poachers
lately took place on the Killin Moors, Inverness-shire,
which had been taken for the season by Lord Ed win
Hill, and a party of his friends. Mr. Dudley Majori-
banks, who was one of the number, had gone upon the
hills on the morning of Friday the 25th of September,
accompanied by the gamekeeper and one of his as)istants,
when they discovered the poachers; and after a short
pursuit and contest the latter were overpowered ; and '
being deprived of their guns, surrendered themselves,
whenthey were sent off to the prison of Inverness.
During the struggle, the head keeper (Dickson) had a
providential escape, one of the poachers having levelled
his gun, and fired at him, when almost in a state of
Rr
noximity, at the end of the pursuit. Caledonians

LAMBETH.

Mary Shepherd, a well-dressed spinster, was charged
before the Hon. G. C. Norton with being drunk and in-
capable of taking care of herself.
James Bradley, 42 L, deposed that between ten and
eleven o'clock on the night before, he found the prisoner
in the Waterloo-road, in such a state of intoxication that
he was obliged to take her to the station-honse.
Mr. NORTON—Did she make any disturbance? Wit-
ness—No, sir, she was pretty quiet, for that,

Mr. NORTON (to the prisoner)—What are you; how
do you get your livelihood? Prisoner—l'm a dress-
maker, your worship.
Mr. NORTON—HOW came you to get so intoxicated as
to be incapable of taking care of yourself? Prisoner—
The fact is, your worship, that I had been taking my
work home into the Strand, and my shoes being rather
thin and unsuited to such a night, my feet got very wet,
and fearing the consequences of a serious cold, and per-
haps being laid up, I took a couple of drops of gin, and
it some way or other overcame me.
Mr. NORTON—WeII, in my time, I have heard of
various excuses for getting drunk, and I must say that
this is not the worst.—(Laughter.) The night certainly
was very damp, but I think you might have avoided
taking so much of this gin as to reduce you to such a
state of intoxication. I hope, however, that this, as you
appear to be a decent person, will be a caution to you for
the future.
Prisoner—lndeed it shall, sir.
Mr. NORTON--I sincerely hope so. You are now
discharged.

LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1846.

Congratulations are, doubtless, being reciprocated
in the Conservative -Cabinet of Versailles. Never,
however, has there been less'cause fur congratulation
in the French Government since the glorious revolu-
tion of '3O. King Louis PHILIPPE may rejoice at the
consummation of this Spanish intrigue, but the
French people have infinite reason to deplore that in-
auspicious ceremonial. To the former the marriage
of the Due DE INIONTPENSIER is a specious assurance
of the consolidation of his dynastic interests. To the
latter those nuptials are only an augury of diplo-
matic embarrassments and disrupted alliances. A
species of fatality appears to have characterized the
recent proceedings of the GUIZOT Administration.
The French Ministers and their subordinates must
have swallowed one of those draughts of fasci-
nation 'familiar to Arabic literature ; the magic
rose-leaf of NOURAJATIBAD must have been
secretly conveyed to the shoulder of the Count
DE BRESSON ; or that astute ambassador and his
colleagues must have degenerated into the syco-
phantic agents of royal cupidity. Without one or
other of these preliminaries, the officials of the
Tuileries could never have proceeded with such un-
bending pertinacity in the facilitation of a marriage
so manifestly inimical to the. national interests of
France, "and so opposed to the happiness of present
and prospective millions. No partialities, however,
could retard this unfortunate union ; no desires-Were
sufficiently powerful to diminish the anxiety for its
realisation. Much as the GUIZOT party had sacri-
ficed for, and long as they had endeavoured to perpe-
tuate the existence of the entente cordiale—the
entente cordiale was sacrificed because it was an
obstacle to the Montpensier marriage. Valuable and
protracted as had been the European peace, the Euro-
pean peace was placed in imminent jeopardy because
the Orleans family was solicitous for the illontpen-
eier marriage. Dangerous and even fatal as French
interference in Peninsular affairs had been at the
commencement. of the eighteenth and nineteenth nen-
tunes, that peril was courted, because by such an in-
terference alone oould the Montpensier marriage be
arranged. The dignified protests of England, the
lowering aspect of the Spanish
. and population, the histo-
rical warnings of Louis XIV. apoLuorrr.l., the
dissatisfaction evinced by many Frenchmen, and the
continuance of international '
rien
friendships,
were all
Because equally ,despised. And why ?
sethe only
marriageable son of Lours Pnlmarrz would
obtain an opulent bride, together with the possible
thereby
reversion of a crown ; because the European
influence of that SOVEREIGN would be thereby ma-
terially enhanced ; because the old Bourbon aspiration
of virtually annihilating the Pyrenees would be
hereby accomplished,, and because, forsooth, the mar-
riage of his Royal Highness of Montpensier with ,

WORSHIP-STREET.

John Richards, a young man, about 19 years of age,
was placed at the bar for final examination, charged
with stealing a purse and a quantity of silver from the
shop of Mr. Lord, a perfumer,in Church-street, Hackney.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor's wife
that while seated in her parlour on the afternoon of Mon-
day, the sth inst., her attention was drawn to a suspi-
cious noise in the shop, and on looking up she saw the
prisoner running out into the street. lie was instantly
pursued by her shopman, who had almost overtaken
him when he was suddenly stopped by a lad who told
him that his mistress desired his immediate return, as
she had lost nothing ; but on reaching the shop he found
that the contents of the till and a purse of the value of lOs.
had been stolen. Having accidentally heard that two lads
named Flynn and Ricketts had been apprehended for
committing a, similar robbery at Dalston, ho came
to this Court on Monday last to see if he could identify
them, and immediately recognised Ricketts as the person
who had delivered to him the fabricated message which
facilitated the escape of the prisoner. He had no sooner
made the discovery, than the prisoner himself entered
the Court, furnished with a written testimonal, setting
forth the unimpeachable honesty and respectability of
the prisoners then under examination, and witness in-
stantly seia2d him, and gave him into custody. The two
thieves for whom he displayed such a lively interest had
since been tried and convicted at the Old Bailey, and
sentenced respectively to six months' imprisonment and
seven years' transportation.
The prisoner, who was recogtised by the police as an
old offender, was fully committed for trial.

CLERICENIVE L L.

Richard Jones was charged with riotous and disor-
derly conduct in St. Andrew's workhouse, and with
wilfully breaking a lamp over the workhouse door, of the
value of 7s.

It appeared from the statement of the officers of the
workhouse, that at a late hour last night the prisoner
applied fur admittance, and was admitted into the ward
for the reception of casual paupers after be had been
supplied with food. In the morning, at the usual hour
for persons of the prisoner's description leaving the
house, he received a piece of bread which he threw upon
the floor, and swore he would not leave the house with-
out some money to carry him through :the day. The
porter endeavoured to put him outside the door, but
before he could do so the prisoner seized a billet of wood,
with which he smashed the hall lamp to atoms. He was
then handed over to the police.
Mr. COMM said it was necessary that the officers of
the workhouse, who had sometimes very arduous duties
to perform, should be protected against such characters,
and he should, therefore, send the prisoner to the House
of Correction, to be kept to hard labour for seven days.

MIDDLESEX.

The court was held on Thursday, at the,Green Man,
Bethnal-green, before Mr. Shadwell, fur the revision of
the lists in the Bethnal-green district.
Mr. W. H. James appeared for the Liberal party, and
Mr. J. Payne for the Conservatives.
In the Norton-folgate list, Matthew Coffee, described
as residing at Liverpool, was objected to by the Con-
servatives, on the ground of insufficient -description.
Mr. Coffee having proved his justification, stated that
last year he was objected to by the Conservatives, and
his name was retained. He had now come up from
Liverpool on purpose to support his claim, and therefore
asked for his expenses. _ _ _ .

Mr. Payne contended that Liverpool was not such a
description of place of abode as required.
Mr. Coffee stated that he resided in a ward called
Everton, but that he conld not give any better address
than Liverpool, as the place in which be lived was being
newly formed, and had not yet been named.
Mr. Payne submitted that Everton ought to be in-
serted.

Mr. SHADWELL said that "Everton, Liverpool," might
be a better description of place of abode, at all events it
would prevent the voter being objected to again; but
having made the alteration, he could not allow costs.
Name retained. _

Mr. Robert Harrison, claiming in the Hackney list for
a freehold house, situate in the High-street, was ob-
jected to by the Conservatives.
From the evidence of the claimant it appeared that be
lodged in the same house for which he claimed. At
Lady-day last the claimant let to one Goodrich the
house as yearly tenant, at the rent of 181. a year, and
afterwards became his lodger, paying a rent of three
shillings a week. The claimant had paid all the rates
up to Lady-day, when he let the house to Goodrich, and
he still continued to pay the rates.
Mr. Payne submitted, that if the claimant Was allowed
to stand upon the register it would be a great infringe-
ment of the Reform Act, as he woule be entitled to vote
for the borough, and thereby have two votes fur the same
house. _ .

__
Mr. SHADWELL was of opinion that the claimant was
entitled to vote; he would insert the number of the
house in High-street.—Name retained.
The Court rose at two o'clock.
London, England, 1846-10-17

The matter which has thus taxed the ingenuity of
the Parisian scribes is contained in a nutshell.

ffe adverted yesterday generally to certain consti-
,utional functions which the Ministers of this country
are expected to discharge, and amongst them was
that of availing themselves of the extraordinary
powers constitutionally vested in them, by virtue of
their office, to ward off, or mitigate the effects of any
unlooked-for conjuncture of affairs that might hap-
pen to menace the general welfare of the country,
andjvve stated that we considered it a positive duty on
the part of Government, under existing circumstances,
to unbar our ports for the introduction of all kinds of
grain, duty free. It is apparent that some of the deep-
thinking, clear-headed, and well-organisedpublic bodies
of vast experience and prominent influence, have fos-
tered the expectation" that, owing to the indisputable
and melancholy aspect of the country, in relation to
the threatened dearth of food, with its serious and
inevitable consequences, the Administration would
ere this, and without any promptings, have authorised
—at any rate till the extreme pressure was subdued

—the intromission of grain, free of duty, from every
quarter of the globe. But the patience of those bodies is
exhausted, and sensible that the crisis brooks of no
further delay, they are endeavouring to convince the
Government that wisdom and humanity alike dictate
the necessity of our ports being immediately thrown
open to the foreign merchant. The Directors of the

THE EQUINOCTIAL GALEs.-:-The recent equinoc-
tial gales, we regret to hear, have exceeded in violence
the deplorable storm in 1739. Such, however, are the
reports received at Lloyd's, from the masters of the nu-
merous merchantmen who were fortunate enough to
escape the dreadful fury of the hurricane. They ap-
pear to have commenced from the S.W. on the 9th ult.,
and continued with increased force till the morning of
the 22d. The effect on the broad expanse of the Atlan-
tic is described to have been of the most fearful de-
scription, the loss both of life and property being
exceedingly great. Numerous other casualties at sea
have also occurred.
