churches in Paris, in commemoration of the anniversary of
NAPOLEON'S death, particularly in the chapel of the lava-
fides. All the old soldiers whose infirmities did not prevent
their moving, were present on this occasion. General
PETIT replaced Marshal the Duke DE REGGIO, whose health
did not permit him to leave his bed. The Duchess accom-
panied the Princess MATHILDE (married to the Prince DE
DEMIDOFF), who bad come to join her prayers to those
of the old companions of her uncle. Amongst other persons
present were observed General GOURGAUD and the Marquis
DE CRAMAYEL, formerly attached to the Imperial household.
King Louis PRILIPPE has written an autograph letter to
Sir R. PEEL, thanking him for the manner in which he
proposed his MAJESTY'S health at the Lord Mayor's banquet.

Madrid papers of the 30th have been received. The Ga-
zette publishes the dispatches of ITILLALONGA, the Captain-
General of Galicia, announcing the surrender of Vigo, Lugo,
and Pontevedra, and the complete suppression of the insurrec-
tion. M. IsTimm seems to be treading in the footsteps of
NARVAEZ, as far as proceedings against the press are con-
cerned. He ordered the Espanol of the 29th to
be seized, because it contained an article blaming
the lawless and sanguinary wholesale executions
of the Galician prisoners, and recommending a more merci-
ful treatment of those unfortunate persons. While Santiago
was in possession of the insurgents, the Junta published an
official paper, entitled the lievolucion. The first number,
which was published on the 16th of April, contained a decree,
signed by the President, Don Pio RODRIGUEZ TERRAZO, de-
claring all the acts of the Government of Madrid to be null
and void, abolishing various taxes, diminishing the period
of service for all soldiers embracing the cause of the Junta,
and declaring traitors all who should directly or indirectly
oppose the revolutionary movement. The same journal an-
nounced that the Junta was daily expecting 20,000 muskets
from England.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

WOOD V. TILE EARL OF PORTARLINGTON.

The SoLimon-GENERAL applied to the Court is this case, which
was an application to strike an attorney off the roll, and which had
been referred to the Master, for a rule to the effect that it be an in-
struction to the Master to examine witnesses in the case via voce.
He hoped his Learned Friend the Attorney-General had no objection
to this course.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that Indeed he had. He objected to
the course upon the ground that the application was not made at the
time it was agreed upon to refer the case to the Master, at which
time it was understood that the case was to go through the usual
course ; and it would be extremely inconvenient to adopt any other
now.

Lord DENMAN said he quite agreel with the Attorney-General;
they were talking about their business, not doing it. --(Laughter.)

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
SCOTT V. JONES. _ .

The plaintiff in this action is a livery stable keeper, and the defen-
dant is a stationer in Curzon•street, Mayfair. The claim was for
141. 15s. for horse hire, &c.

The defendant pleaded minority.
Witnesses were called who proved the daily hiring of a saddle-
horse, and, occasionally, of a horse and gig, by defendant. The
fair charge per month for a saddle-horse, as agreed to by defendant was
eight guineas, and from 10s. to 18s. a day for a horse and gig, accord.
ing to the time it was out.
On the part of the defendant his mother was called, to prove that
he was only 20 in February last. She said that she had had a
certificate, and knew the date from that, but she had not got it now.
On being cross-examined, she prevaricated in a most extraordinary
manner. _ .

The plaintiff's Counsel said he thought the jury would be satis-
fied without his addressing them, for it would be painful for him to
make, and them to hear, the comments he should feel it his duty to
make. .

...
The SECONDARY said the evidence had been given in a very un-
satisfactory manner to him ; but he thought that It must, on a point
of law, be rejected altogether, as the witness had stated that her
memory had been brought to the point by a document which she
had not now got.
The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff for 141.
