the chimney. lie requested his brother to go to the
room and bring away the money, in order that he might
not lose it, and that, being found, it might not be evi-
dence against him. The brother refused, but impru
dently mentioned the circumstance to the wife and
mother-in-law of the prisoner, who went to the room
and carried off the money. They would probably have
escaped detection, as Langlois, who had been informed
by his brother of what they had done, would not have
mentioned the circumstance to the authorities but for
the conduct of his wife, who whilst he was in prison led
a life of dissipation, and when applied to for as-
sistance to procure him a few comforts sent him
one franc. When the apartment in which the wife
and her mother lived was searched there was found a
quantity of linen, jewellery, &c., which they had pur-
chased with the proceeds of the robbery, and 300 francs
in gold. It was ascertained that the mother, who first
visited the room in the Rue du Four, had cheated
her daughter by abstracting nearly 1,000 francs from the
amount concealed by Langlois. As the evidence of
their guilt was so strong that denial was useless, they
made a confession, and threw themselves upon the
mercy of the Court, the mother pleading for indulgence
for her daughter, who, she said, took no part in the
robbery, although she admitted that she subsequently
partook of the spoil, and the daughter imploring in-
dulgence for her mother on the ground of her having
three younger children entirely dependent upon her for
support. Langlois himself appeared as a witness against
the prisoners, and was very severe in his remarks upon
his wife ; her profligate conduct with other men, and the
wretched pittance that she had sent him in prison, hav-
ing rendered him furious against her, The jury found
both the women guilty. The Court, in its discretion,
lowered the punishment two degrees in favour of the
mother, who was sentenced to three years' imprisonment,
and inflicted the minimum punishment, two years' im-
prisonment on the daughter. The mother heard her
sentence without betraying any emotion, but the wife
fainted, and on her recovery uttered piercing cries.
The other children of the mother, who were in court
during the trial, were removed crying bitterly.—

The position of General Flores as President of Ecua-
dor has been set forth very fully in a printed paper, cir-
culated in the City, and signed " Equatoriano.' The
paper is manifestly on the side of the President, but we
do not hesitate to give a pretty long abridgment of its
contents, since detailed news from Ecuador is a scarce
commodity, and a growing interest is felt in the pro-
gress of the third Colombian republic, if we may judge
from the operations on the Stock Exchange. Among
other omissions made in the abridgment are the rad&
cations of both treaties, which of course aro merely
formal :
" In March last year an insurrection broke out in
Guayaquil, the port of a province of Ecuador on the
Pacific ; it was headed by a shopkeeper named Senor
Zarnbo Roca. Roca being convicted of seditious acts,
had been ordered out of the country by the sentence of
the proper tribunal, but with the aid of a largo sum of
money contrived to corrupt a company of artillery quar-
tered at Guayaquil, on the eve of his expulsion being
carried into effect. What is called a pronunciamiento
followed, throwing off obedience to the Government, and
declaring the province independent.
"The President, General Flores (who bad been elected
President for eight years in 1843, by the unanimous
suffrages of the people), sent down from Quito, the
capital of Ecuador, a few troops to quell the insurrection,
but it being the winter or rainy season, they could not
get into the town, the adjacent country about Guaya-
quil being flooded for many leagues during the months
of February to July. The rebels had seized upon all
the canoes and boats on the river, so that there was no

" PROCLAMATION.
" Soldiers,—This dry we have achieved a triumph
which honours us, that of the restoration of peace
amongst the Equatorians. Happy peace that only costs
the small sacrifice which I make in absenting myself
from the country and from you for two years, and still
more happy if the country is secured and consolidated
without my help.
" Soldiers,—lt is now eighteen years since I have been
at your head, and I am highly pleased in the recollec-
tion that no one has ever vanquished us. This recol-
lection will add flame to my enthusiasm for your great
services, and will stimulate me to write of your feats of
arms.

NATIONAL ANTI-POOR-LAW PROVI-
DENT AND BENEVOLENT UNION.
A PRELIMINARY MEETING to consider the plan of B. B.
CARRELL, Esq., M.P., 1.R.5., for the promotion of the above In-
stitution, to encourage the Working Classes to save themselves from
the horrors of the New Poor-law System, will be held at the Court-
house, St. Alban's, on THURSDAY, October Bth, 1846, at Twelve
o'clock precisely, after which a DINNER will be provided in the

getting at them by this channel ; the troops of the Go-
vernment, therefore, went into cantonments at the El-
vire, an estate of the President's, situate at the head of
the river, there to await until the subsiding of the waters
should permit of access to the town.
" The rebels, in the mean time, pressed the people
into their ranks, and emboldened by the delay of the
Government force, ventured up the river in boats to
attack them before they should be reinforced ; they
were miserably beaten, and some hundreds who anded
were thrust back into the river at the point of the
bayonet and drowned. They came up a second time,
and were again repulsed with great slaughter. The
President, ever generous and humane, did not witness
unmoved this destruction of the passive and ignorant
people, over whose welfare he had ever been a vigilant
guardian, by whom he was adored, and whose prosperity
he would have secured by the most enlightened mea-
sures, had he not been constantly thwarted in his views
by the seditious conspiracies of this same truculent in-
cendiary, Roca, and a few others of the same blighted
and broken reputation, who found in the indolent action
of the laws, and weakness of the executive power, time
to carry out their insurrectionary plans with impunity.
Thus in the year 1843, President Flores having asked
and obtained from the Congress of that year* power to
levy a small tax on the people (the people of Ecuador
pay no taxes), in order to -secure a positive amount of
money to be solely and exclusively appropriated to the
payment of interest to the British bondholders, and
to restore by this means some portion of the
lost credit of the country, Mr. Zambo Roca raised
the standard of revolt and rebellion against the decree
of the Congress and the measures of the Govern-
ment for carrying that decree into effect, and in
this manner was retarded a settlement with the foreign
creditors notwithstanding the anxious desire of the Pro-
sident to do them justice, and at the same time to re-
lease the country from the stigma of dishonesty and in-
gratitude which still continues to disgrace it. The late
law of public credit established by Roca will convince
the bondholders of what they have to expect from such
a tyro. To return to the rebels of Guayaquil; I shall
briefly state that the President, although at the head of
an army firmly devoted to him, and officered by his
ancient comrades, the veterans of Bolivar, resolved to
spare the effusion of blood in a civil contest which had
no other foundation that the predatory views of Roca and
the gang of smugglers by whom he was surrounded and
supported. The President, moreover, was not unwilling
that the people of Guayaquil should see their leaders in
their true colours, when his own influence in the country
could not be felt or misinterpreted. Ile therefore de-
sired that respectable persons of Guayaquil should bo
selected to enter into a treaty or convention which
should put an end to the contest, and at the same time
enable him to indulge his long cherished desire of visit-
ing Europe. However magnanimous or humane the
policy of this step, it has been much blamed by the
other provinces of Ecuador, whose inhabitants as well
as the main body of the Government forces, only re-
ceived and only consented to a treaty with the rebels in
obedience to the wishes of the President. The following
is a copy of that treaty, and the President's proclama-
tion upon his departure for Europe:—
" TREATY.

" Hardly had General Flores left the country, when
Roca and his gang commenced a series of persecu-
tions against the supporters of the Government which
yet endure. Several of the principal proprietors were
banished ; the troops faithful to the Government
were disbanded, the chiefs and officers driven from
the country one by one, on frivolous and vexatious pre-
texts; General Otamendi, a veteran officer, highly distin-
guished, perfidiously assassinated under circumstances
of revolting cruelty, in the presence of his wife and
children; private property seized and pillaged ; the civil
servants of the Government deprived of their offices, and
these filled by the myrmidons of Roca taken from the
lower classes ; in a word, every species of tyranny and
persecution was practised against all who were not wal-
ing to disgrace themselves by becoming his obsequious
instruments. In this manner was fulfilled the treaty of
Elvira. In utter disregard of the customs of civilised
beings, and of the disastrous consequences of such bar-
barism, not only did Roca break every article of that
treaty by his atrocious persecution of the loyal sup-
porters of the Government, but he also, by the public
act of a meeting assembled, ad hoc, in December follow-
ing (last December), annulled that treaty formally, and
had himself named President of the State. The insane
assemblage which declared that treaty null and void
could do no more to destroy their own pretensions to
legality. By this act General Flores is released from
all and every obligation he had contracted by that treaty.
He re-assumes his position as the constitutional Presi-
dent of Ecuador, and with it all the obligations annexed
to that office. He is bound by every moral and poli-
tical principle to suppress the barbarous faction that
oppresses and disgraces the country which he himself
called into political existence. This alone is the object
he has in view ; the neighbouring states have nothing to
apprehend from President Flores, the whole tenour of
whose prive and public life affords ample guarantees for
the future."—Times.

WILL OF THE LATE LORD MET
CALFE, G.C.8., P.C.
. _

Probate of the will of the Right Hon. Charles Theo-
philus Baron Metcalfe, a Baronet, Knight Grand Cross
of the most honourable Military Order of the Bath, and
a member of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy
Council ; late of Portland-place, London; Fernhill,
Berks; and Malshanger, Hants, was granted by the
Prerogative Court, in London, on the 26th of Septem-
ber, to Lieutenant James Metcalfe, East India Com-
pany's Bengal Native Infantry, the acting executor, a
power being reserved to Lord Monson, the Hon. John
Elliot, and J. S. Brownrigg, Esq., the other executors,
to administer thereto at a future time. Tne will was
made on the 28th of July, 1846. The personal estate
in England and within the province of Canterbury was
estimated for duty at 100,0001. His estate of Fernhill,
leased to Sir F. Booth, Bart., and the land near Bagshot,
now or lately occupied by his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, are—under the conditions of the will of his
father, Sir Thomas Metcalfe, Baronet, from whom
the Baronetcy is derived—to accompany that title
and descend to his Lordship's brother, the Political Agent
and late Judge of the Delhi territory in India, now Sir
Thomas Theophilus Metcalfe, Bart. The furniture in
the mansion at Fernbill he bequeaths to his said brother,
likewise the house and furniture in Portland-place, to-
gether with such books, engravings, plate, &c., as have
come to him by descent or bequests from his father,
mother, or late elder brother, Sir Theophilus John Met-
calfe, Bart. To Lieutenant James Metcalfe he leaves a
specific bequest of 50,000/. sterling, and such other
books, engravings, plate, &c., as may have been
purchased by him, or otherwise ; as also his
Court dresses, diamond star, collar, and one of the
jewels of the civil Order of the Bath, and all other jewels
not specficially disposed:of. The silver star, ribbon, and
one jewel of the civil Order of the Bath are to be
delivered to the Crown, together with the star he
received from the State at the time of his nomination to
the Order. Bequeaths to James Macauley Higgins,
Esq., late civil secretary and his Lordship's private
secretary in Canada, 20,0001. sterling. To his Lordship's

Georgiana Smyth, an annuity of 5001.; to his trustees
and executors each 1,060/. Leaves to his butler and
valet an annuity of 1001., as also a legacy of 200/., and
the whole of his wardrobe, and to his under butler 10010
And directs that the pensions he allowed to his former
servants, natives of India, shall be continued during their
respective lives, as also the annuity of 501. to Mrs. Tait,
the widow of his schoolmaster, Mr. Tait, formerly
master of Bromley school. All legacies and annuities
to be paid in full, free of duty. The residue, real and
personal, he leaves to Lieutenant Jas. Metcalfe, who is
to take charge of all papers that were in his Lordship's
possession, or with his agents, Messrs. Cockerell
and Co., Austinfriars, consisting chiefly of private
correspondence. The deceased, during the interval of
Lord William Bentinck's leaving India, and the arrival
of Lord Auckland, namely, Feb. 3, 1835, to March 28,
1836, was provisionally appointed Governor-General,
and in that short space he introduced, amongst other
measures, the issue of one uniform currency throughout
the presidencies, and also secured to the press a freedom
from all restrictions. In commemoration of his acknow-
ledged services, a statuo was raised at Agra by public
subscription, and a magnificent piece of plate presented
to him. At this period, he had conferred upon him the
civil Order of Knight Grand Cross of the Bath. He left
the Company's service in the month of February, 1838.
He was some time the Company's Resident at Hydera-
bad ; a Member of the Supreme Council, Bengal, and
Governor of the Presidency of Agra ; afterwards Gover-
nor of Jamaica, and latterly Governor of Canada. It
was not until the 25th of January, 1845, that he was
raised to the Peerage, which title is now extinct, it being
limited to the heirs male of his body, and the deceased
baron was never married. His Lordship died at Mal-
shanger,on the sth of September, at the age of sixty-two.

HAMBURGH and FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, OCT. I.—Her Majesty the Queen, the
Duke of Brabant, the Count de Flanders, the Princess
Charlotte, and their attendants, left Lacken this morn-
ing, about six o'clock, for Paris. At the southern
terminus they took their seats in the royal carriage in
which they were to proceed to St. Cloud, where the
royal family of France are at present residing.
The following confirms the intelligence which we gave
yesterday of a meeting of the manufacturers of Ghent,
for the purpose of maintaining a moderate protection in
favour of national manufacture.

The holders of the remaining Scrip Receipts in this Company are

pany are about being closed, and when that takes place the holders
may be delayed considerably,

The cotton manufacturers of Ghent, at a meeting
which took place the day before yesterday, appointed a
committee to make a report on the several questions
which the society of the partisans of a free trade has
just proposed.
The new entrepOt of the city of Brussels, which is
to be opened to-day, the Ist of October, has already
cost 1,040,000 francs. This sum has b. en paid out of
the credit voted by the municipal council in the years
1842, 1843, 1845, and 1846. Four years have sufficed
for the erection of this gigantic building.
The labours of the harvest, and the fine weather
which' we have enjoyed for some days, still keeps the
peasants employed in the field. Accordingly, the
markets of the capital are not so well supplied, and this
naturally causes a rise in the prices.
We have received from Poperinghe further informa-
tion respecting the hop gathering, which is now entirely
terminated. We have already stated that there are very
few years so favourable as the present. The value of
the hops produced at Poperinghe may be estimated,
without exaggeration, at a million and a half pounds,
and that of the neighbouring communes at half a
million. In ordinary years the produce is scarcely a
million at Poperinghe. Reckoning the value of the
present crop at the average price of only 50 francs per
hundred pounds, the cultivation of hops w►ll have pro-
duced the sum of a million francs to the inhabitants of
Poperinghe and its vicinity.
A letter from St. Petersburgh states that the works on
the railway to Moscow are proceeding rapidly, and that
this grand communication will probably be opened in
1847.

"The Provisional Government of the Equator on the
one part, and on the other his Excellency General Juan
Jose Flores, wishing to avoid the continuation of a war
which would cause great and grievous ills, have resolved
to enter into a treaty which will put an end to the pre-
sent disastrous contention. In consequence, they have
named their respective commissioners, viz., on the part
of the Provisional Government, Messrs. Pablo Merino,
Pedro Carbo, and Juan Francisco Milian; and on the
part of his Excellency General Flores, Colonels Juan H.
Soulin, Carlos Vincendon, and Francisco Gavin°, who,
after exchanging their respective credentials, have agreed
to the following articles:—
"Art. 1. Peace shall be restored to the Republic; con-
sequently all hostilities eease.l
Art. 2. The military garrisons shall be stationed as
follows :—The troops that are at present in the districts
of Guayas and Azuay shall be disposed of by the Pro-
visional Government; and of those encamped at Elvira,
400 to 500 men will march to the barracks of the city
Bolivar; the battalion of Babahoyo shall be disbanded,
the individuals composing it being allowed to retire to
their homes.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 2.—During the storm on Monday
last, a servant of Count A. De Beaufort, returning to the
Chateau of Mielmont, at Onoz, near Namur, on taking
hold of the chain of the bell, was killed on the spot by a
violent explosion of the electricity accumulated on the
chain. The electric fluid then passed into the kitchen,
but without causing any damage. A lady who was in
the kitchen at the moment of the explosion was not af-
fected by it.
During the first nine months of this year, there
arrived in the port of Antwerp (coming from sea), with
various cargoes, 1,719 ships, not including 4 English
yachts, the schooner Louisa Maria, a Belgian ship com
ing from Holland by the inland waters, and 5 new ships
launched within the same period. During the first nine
months of 1845, only 1,358 ships arrived at Antwerp, so
that the difference in favour of 1846 is 392 ships. In
1845, 203 Belgian ships arrived at Antwerp, and in 1846
there entered during the same period only 188—dif-
ference, 15.

"Art. 3. All the general, field, and subaltern officers
of the troops, commanded by General Flores, that are
not considered necessary by the Provisional Government,
shall retire from the service with corresponding honour
and their pay according to law.
" Art. 4. No one shall be persecuted on account of his
past political opinions, nor for any services renderad to
either party.
"Art. 5. Any exactions on private property, made by
either party, shall be fully indemnified, when applied for
in the proper legal form.
"Art. 6. Any orders or acceptances due by either of
tha parties, as also all contracts pending that are ac-
cording to the laws, shall be respected and carried into
effect.

MANCHESTER COMMERCIAL

ASSOCIATION.

A memorial has been addressed to Lord Palmerston
by Mr. Turner, the president of the Commercial Asso-
ciation, on the subject of the recent disturbances at
Canton, which, with the reply, we subjoin :
(Copy.)
" Manchester Commercial Association,
September 25, 1846,
" My Lord,—The directors of this association, by let-
ters received from China per the last mail, have been
solicited to co-operate in calling the attention of her
Majesty's Government to the serious outrages which
have been recently committed against the persons and
property of British subjects in Canton by the native po-
pulation ; and to point out the necessity which exists of
guarding against a recurrence of similar disturbances,
by the presence of a British ship of war in the imme-
diate neighbourhood.

" Art. 7. The Provisional Government,when completed
by the proper members, will issue a decree for the con-
vocation of a national convention.
" Art. 8. If any person, or military force, should re-
fuse to submit to the present treaty, they must be com-
pelled to do so by the contracting parties.
" Art. 9. The arrangements stipulated in the 2d and
3d articles must be carried into effect in the term of
eight days from the time of the ratification of the pre-
sent treaty, and the other stipulations must be fulfilled
as soon as possible.

CURIOUS ROBBERY.
Rather more than a month ago a young man named
Langlois, who was garcon de bureau to M. Bernard, an
, and sentenced
agent d'ciffaires in the Rue Taranne, was tried for rob-

the robbery were rather curious. Langlois, who did
not sleep at the home of his employer, but went there
early every morning, himself gave the alarm, and the
family, on quitting their beds, found the office in a state
of confusion, with stains of blood on the floor, chymical
matches lying about, and a window forced. Langlois
himself had done all this to make it appear that the place
had been entered by burglars, and that one of them had
been wounded in doing so. Langlois, however, overacted

rest day confessed his
Pais part so much that he was suspected and arrested. He
protested his innocence up to the moment of his con-

and her mother, whose name is Froment. They were

and with having converted the proceeds of it

that a few days before the trial of Langlois be revealed to
hiS brother, who had gone to see him in prison, that he
had really stolen the money, and in order to conceal it
from his wife and his mother-in-law, who he said would
soon have dissipated it, he had hired a room in the Rue

"PROCLAMATION.
"Fellow Citizens,—This day I cease to be President
Of the Republic, and I take my leave of you for Europe,
whence I hope to return and find you free and happy,
after you have constituted yourselves anew, far from my
p ‘rsonal influence—in perfect liberty. If I had the glory
of founding your independence, I also have the honour
to make a great sacrifice in banishing myself from you
the very moment it was published and sustained that I
was an obstacle in the way of your happiness, and when,
thanks to Divine Providence, no one has vanquished me.
I only hope that this sacrifice will be as grateful to you
as the conviction that I have never usurped or abused
public authority is flattering to me ; neither have I
stained with blcod the political scaffold during the con-

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—On the night of Saturday
last the following daring highway robbery was com-
mitted on the Great Western-road, about midway be-
tween Knightsbridge and Kensington. It appears that
just after midnight, as Mr. Osborn, of Pimlico, was re-
turning home along the Great Western.road, from the
direction of Kensington turnpike, he was suddenly at-
tacked by six or eight men, dressed as labourers, who
demanded his money. Mr:Osborn called out for the
police, but one of the men instantly tore open Mr. Os-
born's coat, and snatched from his waistcoat pocket a
silver watch, with which they ran off. Policeman Proud
hearing Mr. Osborn's cries, hastened to the spot, pursued
the thieves in the direction pointed out by Mr. Osborn,
and shortly came up with four men answering the de-
scription, two of whom he secured. They were imme-
diately conveyed to the station-house, Kensington, but
Mr. Osborn being unable to identify either of them, they
were liberated.

* " General Flores has always maintained the opinion
that as there were no other available resources to pay the
British bondholders, tho nation for whose independence
the debt was originally incurred should contribute to pay
a debt so sacred, especially as they pay no other tax
whatsoever."
