PROPERTY OF LOUIS PHILIPPE.
On Friday the s eport of M. Berryer, in the name 1
of the Committee of Finances, on the proposition of
M. Jules Favre, to declare that all the property com-
posing the private domain of Louis Philippe should
be taken by the State, was distributed to the Assem-
bly. After some preliminary observations, and after
setting forth M. Favre's proposition in detail, the
report states that the Provisional Government had
decreed that the real and personal property called
biens de la liste civile should return to the State ; that
the properties known as biens du domains prive should
be placed under sequestration ; and that the real and
personaliproperties of all the members of the ex-Royal
Family should also be sequestrated. The Committee
then proceeds to say that the proposition of M. J.
Fevre is of a different character, and would have dif-
ferent effect to the acts of the Provisional Government.
M. J. Favre had laid down that the deed of 7th Aug.,
1830, by which Louis Philippe, before formally ac-
cepting the crown, made over all his private property
in France to his children, reserving only a life in-
terest, ought to be considered " null, of no effect,
and as stained with fraud," the object of it
being to prevent the legal union of the properties of
the Duke d'Orleans to the domain of the crown, in
conformity with the old principles of the law. But
the Committee shows that the properties constituting
the apanage of the Duke d'Orleans were made over
to the State on 9th August, 1830; and as to the
private patrimonial possessions of the house of Or-
leans, the Committee declares that though it was the
principle of the old monarchy that the private proper-
ties of the king should go to the State, that principle
could not be maintained when an entirely new state
of things was established in 1830; and it further shows
that a law of 1832 specially enacted that the king
should preserve, or dispose of as he pleased, the pro-
perties which belonged to him on his accession to the
throne. The permission to him to retain these proper-
ties was, the Committee observes, subsequently urged
as a reason for refusing dotations to his younger sons
and daughters. The Committee declares that, even
without the law of 1832, Louis Philippe was justified
in making over his property to his children by the
deed of 7th August, 1830. " Until (it says) the day
on which he accepted the revocable compact between
him and the Chamber of Deputies, the Prince, as
proprietor, was only subjected, like all French citi-
zens, to the rules of the common law. He ascended
the throne on the faith of the validity of the act which
he was able to make in favour of his children. The
events which have caused him to descend from it, and
which exiled his family, justify all the provisions of
the donation." The Committee then adds :—" Far
from seeking under present circumstances an oppor-
tunity of annulling such an act, justice, good faith,
national dignity ought to surround it with more severe
respect. Henceforth the holders of the patrimonial
properties of the house of Orleans cannot be dispos-
sessed of them without a manifest violation of the
contract; to declare these properties acquired to
the State would be consecrating a violent en-
croachment on the right of property, would be
pronouncing an arbitrary confiscation." The
report, after branding in strong terms the
idea of confiscation, proceeds to state the se-
cond part of M. Favre's proposition, that a com-
mission shall be nominated to superintend the liqui-
dation of the debts of the private domain. It says
that such a commission already exists, and that
the law enacts that the debt of the Civil List
must be paid out of the private domain. As to the
proposition that the princes of the house of Orleans
shall be constrained to sell within six months the
real properties they possess in France, the Committee
thinks it unnecessary and impolitic. " The seques-
tration of these properties," it says, " appears to us to
present for public tranquillity greater security than
the conversion of such vast domains into disposable
capital." On the whole, then, the Committee recom-
mends that M. Jules Favre's proposition shall not be
taken into consideration. But the Committee recom-
mends that a law shall be passed regularising the se-
questration, and authorising, for the liquidation of the
debts, that sales and loans on mortgage shall be effected.
It announces that all the members of the house of
Orleans to whom the properties were made over by
the act of the 7th of August, 1230, have consented,
by regularly-executed deeds, to a general and special
mortgage on such properties, in order to secure the
payments of the debts of all kinds owing by their
father. The Committee states that the debts of the
Civil List are 30,000,000 f., and that the Treasury is
creditor for 25,000,000 f. more. To meet these, the
properties of the private domain, which even in these
times cannot be estimated at less than 100,000,000 f.
in value, present a sufficient security. But, as the
revenues of them are merely sufficient to pay the in-
terest of the debts, capital must be raised by sales or
mortgage. The revenues are put down at 4,900,000 f.
of which 3,200,000 f. to the private domain,
200,000 f. to the properties of the Queen,
1,500,0001. to those of the late Maclaine Adelaide,
the outglings for administration, repairs, assurance,
taxes, &c., are represented to amount to 1,900,000 f. ;
leaving a clear income of 3,000,000 f. The Commit-
tee recommends that, as the real properties afford
sufficient security for the payments of the debts, the
personal properties of all kinds and the properties
disposed of in marriage settlements shall be imme-
diately given up to the princes of the house of
Orleans ; and that, until the completion of the liqui-
dation, the Council of Ministers shall fix an amount
to be paid from the sequestrated properties to each of
the proprietors. "We have thought," says the Com-
mittee in conclusion, " that it would be contrary to
the dignity and generosity of France to impose other
sufferings and other miseries on those who must feel
so much at being proscribed from the territory of the
Republic, or of leaving foreign states to offer the
homage of their assistance to a family which for
nearly twenty years had the honour of governing our
country and commanding our army and our fleets."

HORRIBLE CIRCUMSTANCE. —On Saturday last a
woman from the neighbourhood of the Windy Gap elec-
toral division of Addaergole, stated at our office that a
man in her neighbourhood (her own brother-in-law)
had made away with his two children (by his first wife),
a boy, aged fourteen, and a girl, eleven years, and
buried them in a field or skirt of a bog, where the
bodies were afterwards found by the neighbours, covered
with heather and earth. Our foreman instantly brought
the woman before Sergeant Conroy, of the constabulary,
and Mr. R. Gallaher, clerk of petty sessions, where she
made the following statement: The father, step-
mother, a- d children were in the poor-house, from which
they were sent out upon the out-door relief; that the
step-mother swore the children should not live with her,
nor be partakers of the food allowed by the union; that
the children had to go away beggim; ; that they returned
to the father's house on Sunday, the 4th instant, when
the wile swore a horrible oath that beneath her roof
they shoul.l not sleep, and the father insisted they
should remain that night; the children related those
facts to their aunt, who told them to sleep in the house,
as it was their father's wish. She never saw them again
alive; and next day the father was seen, with some
bulk in a bag, and a spade under his artn, going in the
direction of where the bodies were found. On the fol-
lowing Thursday er Friday, a man and woman were ob-
served by the villagers—the man carrying a bulk in a
bag—going to the same spot. The man and woman
then left the neighbourhood, and went to another part
of the union, where the woman's relatives reside.
Policemen were instantly dispatched to the place, and
there the bodies were found by them as described by the
woman. On the same evening the father wart arrested,
and on Sunday he was brought before Dr. Dillon for
examination, and finally was set at liberty. No inquest
had been held that we can hear of—nor were there any
of the villagers confronted with the accused.—Castlebar
Telegraph.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Saturday afternoon, the
ten minutes past eleven A.M. train from Edinburgh, of
the Northern Railway, which reaches Ferry-Port-on-
Craig at twenty-four minutes past one, struck the
wooden barricade at the extreme end of the platform,
at the latter place when a concussion was felt over the
carriages, and the passengers were pitched with consi-
derable violence against each other. The shock seems
to have been felt most severely amongst the second class
carriages, all the passengers in the first and third classes
having escaped with little or no injury. So far as we
have been able to discover, the parties hurt are—Mr.
Smart, Montrose, and his servant, both bruised; Joseph
Robertson, sailor, Dundee, cut on the head; Mrs. Fra-
ser, from St. Andrew, and a gentleman from the same
place, both cut about the temples; Mr. Shand, W.S.,
Edinburgh, presently residing in Ferry-Port-on-Craig,
cut on the temple. These, with one or two other trifling
cases, seem the only instances of suffering. Dr. Laing
fortunately happened to be near the platform when the
accident took place, and three of the passengers were
carried to his house, and had their wounds dressed. The
Dundee and Broughty Ferry boats, waiting the train,
continued their trips without stopping, and one of them
returned in about twenty minutes afterwards for the pas-
sengers and luggage left, when the parties for the north
were all able to embark. The accident is supposed to
have originated from the engine going at too great a
speed, a miscalculation of the distance when it should
have been checked, but principally from the wet on the
rails, making the break have less power over it. The
driver, stoker, and (the parties in charge of the train)
are all reported to have been steady and cautious men.—
Aberdeen Herald.
ROMAN REMAINS AT CHESTERTORD.—The Hon.
R. C. Neville having, by the kind permission of Mr.
Edwards, commenced excavating that interesting por-
tion of the Borough-field described by Stukely as en-
closing the remains of the " Temple Umbra," has in-
vestigated accurately the plan laid down by that cele-
brated antiquary ; the result of which proves the incor-
rectness of his statements, the remains being decidedly
those of a dwelling-house rather than a temple. We
take this opportunity of acquainting our readers with a
fact which may not be generally known, that there are
at present the foundations of no less than three Roman
buildings within the space of a mile, which have been
lately excavated by Mr. Neville, open to public inspec-
tion—namely, a dwelling-house and temple in the parish
of Ickleton, and a dwelling-house in the parish of Great
Chesterford.

ROI3I3ENT AT THE EICHE@UER• OFFICE. - The
Exchequer-office, Lincoln's-inn, was entered after the
termination of business on Saturday, and plundered of
a quantity of gold and silver, the thieves getting clear
away with their booty.

the soul, Cannot but render homage to liberty, the
source of all progress—to equality, which makes all
citizens equal before society and God, who created them
—and fraternity. The new Ministers would inquire
into all social sufferings, and the remedy of those evils
would be the incessant object of their solicitude and en-
deavours. He regretted to say that the very name of
Republic inspired fear and distrust, in consequence of
the recollections of another period, and the apprehen-
sions of a return to a system which wag now out of the
question. This was the real cause of the distrust, by
inspiring doubts for the future, and the country hesi-
tated to trust in a Government which did not afford it
every security. These apprehensions, sincere and
fatal, constituted the weakness of the present Govern-
ment. The new Ministers should, by every means, com-
bat those apprehensions, and endeavour to demonstrate
to the people that the Republic was not an agitated
state of society and the revolution en permanency.
They would labour to seat it on the solid basis of
liberty, society, family, and property. The country
no longer thought of monarchy, but it knew that,
without the fulfilment of those conditions, no Govern-
ment could endure. It recollected that fifty years ago,
France threw herself into the arms of military despo-
tism from a horror of anarchy. The Cabinet would
strive to put a period to all disorders and to re•
alize principles so wisely proclaimed, which ensured
inviolability to the humblest citizens, under the pro-
tecting aegis of the Republic. The future destinies
of Europe depended on the restoration of order and
tranquillity in France. The cause of liberty and ci-
vilization were also at stake. The Ministers would
endeavour to realise those objects; their acts should
ever tend to that end, and they should be constantly
animated by a profound love of the Republic. They,
however, hoped toat the Assembly should grant them
a support and confidence, without which power would
expire in their hands."

on the part of dealers little desire is manifested
to make sales, prices are in consequence rather
lower for Gunpowder and fine Hyson.. The public sales
of 8,900 pkgs went off flatly, and only 2,500 found
buyers. For public auction on Wednesday 16,000 pkgs
are declared. Prices continuo to rule under those of this
time in the past year.
RICE.—To-day East India Rice was dealt in with
caution privately, and 1,430 bags of Bengal at auction
went at a reduction of 6d per cwt for inferior, whilst the
best sort realised the full value—fine bold clean white
sold at 14s, good 12s, damaged 6s 6d to 13s 6d, ordi-
nary and middling stained yellowish white 9s to 9s 6d.
Of Sago Flour 250 bags went at I Os to 16s for damaged.
Seco is in larger supply, whilst less demand exists
and a fall in the value is apparent. At auction 360
boxes, and 1,360 bags were sold; good and fine small
pearl at 19s 6d to 21s 6d, and Borneo 14s 6d to 16s.
Sago Flour has been dealt in with caution at 16s 6d to
17s. Tapioco is held for 6d to Bd, and West India Arrow-
root 4d to is Id, but not much demand exists.

FRUIT.—To-day at public sale 2,530 rackages new
"Valencia Raisins damaged sold at 35s to 365, a few lots
at 31s to 335; 142 boxes New Eleme were withdrawn;
420 drums Sultanas 755; 13 boxes damaged Jordan
Almonds 71 11s per cwt.
AIOLASSEB.—West India can be obtained upon the low
terms of 15s to 18s per cwt, still on the part of buyers
little desire was manifested to do business. Bengal
Treacle is held for 15s to 18s per cwt, there is not much
demand. Honey sells with more readiness ; Jamaica
at 40s to 60s, and Foreign 25s to 355. there is also a
smaller quantity on offer.
SPICEB.—To-day at auction 180 bags of white Pepper
went at 4d to 4id per lb for middling bold, being the
full value. The quarterly sales 'of Cinnamon are de•
Glared for the 30th October.

SALTPETRE. To-day the market for Rough pre-
sented a more active appearance, and 430 bags at auc-
tion were sold at fully former rates:—Calcutta, fine grey
4 per cent. refraction went at 266 to 26s 6d, good strong
yellow 6f per cent. 24s 6d to 255, not refracted 25s to
25s 6d, and damaged 22s 6d per cwt.
INDIGO.—To-day during the progress of sale 293
chests were withdrawn, 818 chests have passed the sale.
The bidding' were quite as brisk as on any previous day
and the rates previously established have been fully sup-
ported. Of the quantity which has passed the auction
(4843 chests) 914 have been withdrawn, and 760 bought
in, leaving 3159 sold.
COCHINEAL. To-day the quantity of Cochineal
offered at auction was large and amounted to 244 bags,
and sold at full rates ; Honduras silvers 3s 7d to 45 2d,
Mexican 3s 6d to 8s Bd, and black 4s per lb.
SPlRlTS.—Leeward Island Rum has been dealt in with
caution, and is 6d to is 64d per gallon is the nearest value
of proof. East India is dull of sale, and is not worth
more than is sd. The purchases made in Jamaica have
been trifling by exporters and home buyers, and a desire
is manifested to sell low quality, 28 to 30 0.P., at 3s to
3s 2d, mid and 30 to 34, 3s 3d to 3s 9d, fine 34 to 38,
3s 10d to 4s 6d, there is a plentiful supply of low and
raid. For Brandy the market looks firm, and the de-
mand continues good, deliveries are likewise exceed-
ing arrivals. The value of Cognac best brands of the
vintage of 1846 is held for 4s 10d to 15. ditto 1847 3s 10d
to 4s, inferior 3s to 3s 3d, and Bordeaux 2s to 2s 4d per
gallon. Geneva is held with firmness at 2s to 2i Id for
common export sort, and at 2s 6d to 3s 6d for fine.
Former rates are well kept up for British made Spirits,
and the demand does not fall off.

TALLOW.—There are sellers of Russian on the spot at
a further reduction, still on the part of the trade little
desire is manifested to make purchases, 44s 9d to 45s is
the worth of fine new V. Y. Candle. For delivery up to
up to the close of the year sellers are willing to accept
44s 6d, few buyers are to be met with. Other sorts of
Tallow have been dealt in with caution, and quotations
are on the decline. At auction 121 casks of Odessa were
chiefly taken in at 43s 3d; 6 casks South American sold
at 42s 3d; 395 casks New South Wales, good and fine
42s to 445, low to middling 39s 6d to 41s 9; 61 mats of
Vegetable and China were taken in at 46s to 48s.
Home made is not much wanted, and can be obtained
at 45s to 46s 6d nett cash. The quotation for rough
Fat is 2s 7d per stone. For Auction 500 casks of Tallow
are declared.

On..—Southern met with less attention; former rates
are not to be obtained, as there is an enlarged supply.
At auction 90 tuns were disposed of; fine quality at
271 ss, low to good 241 to 261 ss. Cod has been
dealt in with caution at 231 lOs to 24/. For Seal there
is a firm market, but not much business has been done;
pale is held for 26/ lOs to 27/, and other sorts 231 to 26L
Sperm is in good request, and former rates are well sup-
ported, good and fine quality realising 701 to 74/ per
tun, there is also only a limited quantity on offer.
Eleadmatter is held for 721 to 751. Linseed sells with
more readiness.

Tan WEATHEIL.—This week the weather has been
generally favourable for securing the remainder of the
grain harvest in the uplands. Our mornings are ushered
in by mists, which are soon chased away by the
sun's rays. On Tuesday night we had a glorious
harvest moon, and in several parishes the creaking
of the wains from the field to the farm-yard were
heard till long after midnight. Our accounts as
to the quantity and bulk of the crops are still of
an agreeable character. Turnips have improved
vastly from the late open weather, the best proof of
which will be found in the brisk demand for sheep at the
Falkirk Tryst this week. Potatoes are abundantly sup-
plied in our market at from sd. to 7d. per stone—the
former indifferent in quality ; the latter excellent. We
hoar little or nothing of the progress of the disease in the
country, which we take to be equivalent to good tidings.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
LAMBETH.

It will be recollected that on the 12th of last month
a highly respectable clergyman of the Established
Church, the vicar of an extensive parish in the county
of Kent, was brought i❑ custody to this court, and
placed at the bar, on the charge of passing a counter-
feit half-crown to an omnibus conductor, in whose
vehicle he had been a passenger from Oxford-street to
the Walworth- road ; and that, upon an investigation
of the charge, it appeared perfectly conclusive that
the Rev. Gentleman, if he gave the half-crown ob-
jected to at all, was perfectly ignorant of its being a
bad one. On that occasion Mr. Norton complimented
the Rev. Gentleman for the spirit and determination
evinced by him in resisting what he conceived to be a
gross attempt at imposition, and expressed his deep
regret that a gentleman in his position should have
been put to such an inconvenience, and treated as he
had been. On the following day Mr. Norton received
a letter from Mr. Peterson, the barrister, on the sub-
ject, which, on reading, he deemed to be of such im-
portance that he immediately wrote to that gentle-
man, requesting his sanction to publish it. Mr.
Peterson having left town for the continent on the
morning after he had written, his answer to Mr. Nor-
ton's note had not reached the hands of Mr. Norton
until a few days ago, and in that answer he gave his
full permission to the publication of his former letter,
which was as follows :
" 1, Essex-court, Temple, Sept. 13.
"Sir,—Excuse the liberty I take in addressing
you, but in the police reports of this day's papers I
see a case of a clergyman charged with passing a bad
half-crown to an omnibus conductor; charges of this
sort are by no means uncommon, but very few of the
parties have either the courage or spare time neces-
sary to follow the charge. In my own case, not very 1
long since, I gave a conductor a shilling, I got my
sixpence back, and was walking leisurely away, whe❑
I was collared by the conductor and charged with
passing a pad shilling, which was tendered to me.
On declining to give another one, a mob soon gathered
and I had the satisfaction of being roughly handled,
and was glad to give another shilling, at the same
time insisting upon the number of the conductor,
which he prevented me from getting, and ran away
to his omnibus. The crowd, however, did not leave
me until, by good luck, the son of a respectable
tradesman in the street recognised me, and freed me
from the mob. Now, in the first place, even supposing
the coin was bad, the treatment I was subjected to
was very unpleasant and wrong ; yet, as the coin I
gave was good, and in ninety cases out of one hun-
dred, when the charges are made, the passenger has
given good coin, how hard it is to be duped by a
vagabond conductor, passing off his own bad coin,
and at the same time having you locked up for a
whole night on the charge. In my case the coin
tendered was good, having no other money in my
pocket but what I had drawn from my banker's, in
Bond-street, about ten minutes before I entered the
omnibus. Now my object in writing this, is to
suggest that in cases of charges like this, the police
should have orders to search the complainant, and see
what coin he has on his person, and they will most
probably find some base coin. Ooe conductor of an
omnibus is at this time undergoing hit, punishment •

for passing bad coin in change to the passengers, and
he admitted that he had made on an average some-
thing like fifty shillings a week by the trade. Hoping
you will excuse the liberty I have taken in making
the above suggestion,
" I have the honour to remain yours, obediently,
" A. T. T. PETERSON.
"Hon. G. C. Norton, Lambeth Police-court."
WORSHIP-STREET.

Sarah Smith, a young woman with a infant in her
arms, was placed at the bar be-ibre Mr. Hammill,
charged with having been found engaged in the ma-
nufacture of counterfeit coin.

Sergeant Brannan, of the G division, stated that
between five and six o'clock on Saturday evening he
proceeded with Sergeant Dubois, and four constables,
to the house, No. 5, Nelson-place Hackney-road, in
pursuance of instructions from the authorities of the
Mint, who had received information that the premises
were occupied by a notorious gang of coiners. Find-
ing the street-door secured on the inside, they in-
stantly burst it open, and hastily entered a lower
room, where they found the prisoner seated at a
table giving the final polish with a hard brush to a
base shilling, to render it fit for circulation. They
immediately secured the coin, together with two
others which were lying upon the table ; and the
prisoner at the same time dashed over a cup contain-
ing a powerful acid in solution, a portion of which
they also succeeded in securing. Upon further
search the officer found secreted in the back kitchen
a complete galvanic battery, which had evidently
been recently in operation for electro-plating coins,
and a jar connected with which containing a
solution of the same description as that the
prisoner had attempted to destroy. They discovered
a quantity of base metal, a strong knife encrusted
with plaster of Paris, and other implements and ma-
terials used in the fabrication of spurious money.
The whole of the articles seised were conveyed with
the prisoner to the station-house, and witness had
been since directed by the Mint solicitor to apply for
a remand, to enable him to attend and prosecute the
case against her.
The prisoner, who was recognised as having been
repeatedly in custody for offering counterfeit coin,
declined offering any defence, and was ordered to be
brought up again for the completion of the evidence.
Mrs. Jane Randal, a cowkeeper in Sebright-street,
Bethnal-green, was summoned for keeping a large
number of pigs upon her premises, and thereby
causing a nuisance prejudicial to the health of the in-
habitants.

It appeared that the nuisance in question had ex-
isted for a considerable time past, in a yard at the
rear of the defendant's residence, and in the centre
of a cluster of houses, densely occupied by poor
weavers and their families, whose repeated com-
plaints of the mischief and annoyance occasioned by
the noxious effluvium arising from the place having
been altogether disregarded by the defendant, the
subject was brought under the notice of the Police
Commissioners, who directed the present proceedings
to be taken.

The defendant's daughter, who attended on behalf
of her mother, denied having been cautioned that they
were acting in violation of the law, and prayed for
sufficient time to abate the nuisance.

Mr. HAMMILL, however, said that at a time when
fatal epidemics, most of which were engendered by
nuisances similar to the present, were impending over
the metropolis, it was the imperative duty of those in
authority to take the most active measures for their
immediate suppression, and he should therefore only
adjourn the summons until Wednesday, when, if the
cause of complaint should still continue, he should
visit the defendant with the highest penalty imposed
by the Act under which the proceedings were in-
stituted.

In the course of the afternoon a gentleman, wbo
was understood to be attached to the City Mission,
addressed the magistrate, and stated that he was de-
puted by Mr. Jackson, of that institution, to attend
for the purpose of refunding to the poor•box the
amount contributed towards the temporary
'relief of
Anne and Emma Lofinck, the emigrants wives,
whose case has been so frequently brought before the
public.
In answer to a question from the magistrate, the
gentleman briefly intimated that a passage had been
taken for the conveyance of the women, with their
children, to their husbands at New York, and that
they would sail in the Panama emigrant ship on the
following day.
Mr. HAMMILL expressed his gratification that such
a proper course had been adopted, and the gentle-
man having handed over the money, about 305., left
the court.
