BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS.)
THE SALISBURY BANE—IN RE BRODIE AND BRODIE.
To-day was apcointed for an audit and dividend under
the estate of these bankrupts, who had been bankers at
Salisbury and also stationers, &c.
Several additional proofs were admitted, and
Mr. BELL, the official assignee, said that it would be
necessary to adjourn the meeting in consequence of pro-
ceedings before the Court of Review as to whether cer-
tain property belonged to the separate or joint estate.
It was, however, thought that the dividend would be
2s. on thejoint estate, and that only a short delay would
take place before it was declared. The meeting was then
adjourned.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK.)
DARING ROBBERY IN KENSINGTON-GARDENS.—Jonas
Haynes, a respectable-looking man, was indicted with

two cheques, one for 501. and the other
for 101.
Mr. Ballantine conducted the prosecution, and Mr.
Huddlestone defended the prisoner.
From the statement of the prosecutrix, who gave her
evidence with great presence of mind, it appeared that
on Friday, the 3d of November, she was walking in the
Flower-walk in Kensington-gardens, about one o'clock
in the day, when suddenly she was struck on the right
shoulder, and knocked down by the prisoner at the bar,
who, after struggling with her, succeeded in obtaining
from her her reticule, containing the property mentioned
in the indictment. The prosecutor swore most positively
to the prisoner.
A person of the name of Myers, a tailor, deposed to
the prisoner calling at his shop the day after the rob-
bery to purchase some clothes, for the payment of which
he tendered one of the cheques. Myers, suspecting all
was not right, caused the prisoner to be detained, and,
from inquiries that were elide at the banker's, the pri-
soner was given into custody.
Another witness proved the finding of the prosecu-
trix's purse upon the prisoner.
Mr. HUDDLESTONE addressed the jury for the prisoner,
contending that his identity had not been proved.
Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK summed up.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and
Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK sentenced him to fifteen
years' transportation.
(Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of ENGLAND.)
UTTERING FORGED BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES.-
Thomas Hunt, 32, described in the calendar as a weaver,
was charged with uttering three forged Bank of
England notes of the value of 51. each, with intent to
defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of
England, he well knowing them to be forged.
Mr. CLARKSON appeared as counsel for the prosecu-
tion, and from the statements of the Learned Gentleman
it appeared that the prisoner was in the habit of
frequenting a public-rouse, called the White
Horse, in Shoreditch, kept by a person named
Potter; that on the 25th of October the prisoner, in
company with another man, called at the house of
Potter, and leaning over the bar, he told the barman,
a person of the name of Ritchie, with whom he was
slightly acquainted, that he had three Si. notes which he
wished to dispose of. The barman inquired what he
wanted for them, to which the prisoner replied 41. each,
or 12/. for the three. The barman at once suspecting all
was not right, communicated what had taken piece to
his master, Mr. Potter, and, by his directions, he kept
the prisoner in conversation while Mr. Potter went for a
policeman. During the time the landlord was out, the
prisoner's companion went away, and the prisoner at-
tempted to do so also; but the barman kept him in con-
versation till Mr. Potter returned with ,a policeman,
when he was taken into custody. The prisoner, on
being questioned as to how he came by the notes,
stated that he had picked them up in Bishopsgate Church-
yard. Upon examination, however, they turned out to
be unsoiled, and appeared to have been struck from three
different plates, and purported to be issued by three
different branch banks of the Bank of England.
Several witnessos were called in support of the prose-
cution, all of whom bore out the statements of the
Learned Counsel.
Mr. PAYNE addressed the jury for the prisoner, con-
tending that be had been made the dupe of the other
men with whom he had been proved to be in company.
Lord DENMAN summed up.
The jury, after a short consultation found the prisoner
Guilty, and
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE sentenced him to ten
years' transportation.
SECOND EDITION OF THE CALENDAR.—The second
edition of the Calendar was published to-day, from
which it appears that since the commencement of the
session on Monday no less than forty-four prisoners
have been added to the number for trial.
The probability is that the sessions will not conclude
before Tuesday next.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.)
Martin Cook, aged twenty-one, was indicted for steal-
ing a box, containing jewellery, wearing apparel, and
other articles, the property of the South Eastern Rail-
way Company.
It appeared from the evidence of a young lady, named
Rachnel Rodgers, that in the month of September, 1847,
she sent the box in question from Canterbury to London
by the South Eastern Railway, with written directions
that it was to be left at the Bricklayer's Arms station

till called for. Soon afterwards she came to town, but
upon applying at the railway company's office, she was
informed that the box was missing. Nothing had since
been heard of the box or its conteists till recently when,
from some anonymous information which had reached
the police, a pair of gold ear-rings, forming a portion
of the stolen property, were traced to the possession of
a girl named Cooper. Upon being questioned as to the
mode by which she came by the ear-rings ; she at once
confessed that they were given to her some months ago
by the prisoner, who at the time was a servant in the
employ of the railway company. These circumstances
led to his arrest; but the evidence adduced against him
to-day tended rather to show that he had received the
ear-rings from a porter who had been dismissed from
the South-Eastern Company's service for misconduct.
The jury, therefore, by the direction of the Court,
acquitted the prisoner.

3IARLBRO' STREET—(THIS DAY.
Samuel Robinson, a coachman in the service of Ed
ward Cardwell, Esq., M.P. for Liverpool, No. 3, White-
hall-gardens, was placed before Mr. Hardwicke, charged
with having assaulted Mr. Henry Simmonds, tailor, 265,
Oxford• street.
The complainant stated that on the previous night,
about eight o'clock, the defendant came to his brother's
shop for the purpose of settling a small account. Di-
rectly he saw complainant's brother, he (defendant) said
the bill was an overcharge, and he should not pay it.
Complainant's brother then replied, whether he disputed
the account or not, he would make him (defendant) pay it.
The defendant then became very abusive, and com-
plainant's brother ordered him to leave the shop. The
defendant refused to leave, and told his (complainant's)
brother that if he came outside the counter, ho would
give him a sovereign to stand before him. Complainant,
at his brother's request, went up to defendant and
ordered him out. The defendant made no reply, but
struck witness a violent blow on the face, and made his
mouth bleed. He (defendant) then caught him by the
coat collar and dragged him out of the shop. Witness
called out " Police," and defendant then ran away.
Witness followed him and gave him in charge.
Police-constable C 28, said that he took the prisoner
into custody near complainant's house. The complainant
was bleeding very much from the mouth at the time.
The accused, in defence, said he went into Mr. Sim-
mond's shop to pay a bill, and as the latter was over-
charged he disputed paying it till it was rectified. Corn-
plair,ant's brother then struck him, and complainant fol-
lowed up the assault by knocking him down.
Complainant called a witness who was in the shop at
the time, and who proved that defendant was the sole
aggressor, and that not a single blow was struck by
either complainant or his brother.
Mr. HARDWICK fined the defendant 203., which was
immediately paid.

MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 19 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.63; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25.47-i, it follows that gold is 0.61 per cent.
dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from
Hamburgh the price of gold is 437} per mark, which, at
the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.111; and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.111,
it follows that gold is 0.23 per cent. dearer in London
than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New
York on London is 109 per cent., and the par of ex-
change between England and America being 109 23-40
per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.58 per cent.
against England; but the quoted exchango at New York
being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be
deducted from the above difference.
THE RECENT FIRES IN EASTCHEAP, ClTY.—Yes-
terday afternoon Mr. Wm. Payne, the Coroner of Lon-
don, and a numerous jury of the ward of Billingsgate,
assembled at the King's Head, Eastcheap, and were en-
gaged nearly four hours in inquiring into the circum-
stances connected with the fires which occurred upon the
premises belonging to Messrs. Knight and Fosters, sta-
tioners, 5, in the same thoroughfare, on Saturday last.
It will be remembered that a female named Hannah
Horton, a servant to the occupiers of the upper part of
the premises, was taken into custody upon suspicion of
having wilfully set fire to the place, and after being ex-
amined before the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion. house,
was remanded in order to obtain additional evidence.
The jury having consulted they returned the following
verdict:—" That the premises were wilfully set on fire,
but there was not sufficient evidence to fix upon the per-
son who set them on fire."

LElTrn—Two MEN DROWNED.—About one o'clock
on Wednesday morning, as Owen Corner, a labourer
employed putting coals on bOard the ship Isabella Na-
pier, at present lying in the harbour, while
.coming on
shore, the plank upset, and he fell between the ship and
the quay, and, owing to the darkness, was unfortunately
drowned.—About nine o'clock on ,Thursday evening, a
young man, belonging to a sloop from Devonshire, while
going on board, missed his footing, and was also drowned.

FRANCE.
GENERAL CAVAIGNAC AND THE
"CONSTITUTIONNEL."

Several journals of Paris and the departments having
published a statement of a conversation between General
Cavaignac and M. Veron, the chief editor of the Con-
stitutionnel, with respect to the election of the President,
and this having been the subject of various comments
at the Bourse, the theatres, and in public circles, the
Constitutionnel published a recital of the conversation.
After stating that a former interview had taken place
beta een these parties, when it was alleged to have been
the intention of General Cavaignac to suppress that
journal, on which occasion the editor, M. Veron, offered
to confer with General Cavaignac whenever the General
thought he could afford any information which would
lead to the adhesion of the Constitutionnel, it gave the
substance of the conversation as follows:—
M. Cavaignac—You led me to expect, M. Veron, some
support from the Constitutionnel. It has not, however,
shown itself very friendly.
M. Veron—Since I had the honour to see you, M. le
President, the Constitutionnel has been nearly Minis-
terial.
General Cavaignac—Ministerial! That's very good.
Let us see. (The President then took from his portfolio
some extracts from the Constitutionnel, in which the
General himself vas spoken highly of.)
N. Veron—You see here is the proof.
General Cavaignac—Let that pass. And now for the
question of the day—the election of President of the Re-
public. There are only two candidates, Napoleon and I.
Now I speae to you with a soldier's franknes. Will you
be for me or against me?
M. Veron—The question is plain; I can only regret
that my reply will be less so. Without being absolutely
for you, the Constitutionnel cannot be against you. II y[a
des nuances qu'il Taut conserver.
General Cavaignac—Would you trim between the
two? Between two candidates, one or other must be
selected. Pourquoi des nuances?
M. Veron—For your dignity and mine, General. If
the Constitutionnel should' devote itself to your candi-
dateship, it would be said that you were the corrupter
and I the corrupted; calumny would find ample means of
exercising itself.
General Cavaignac—Calumny We must be re-
signed to that. Does it spare me? Am not I calum-
niated ?
M. Veron—l admit it, General; but you govern
France, and for such honour one must be content to suffer
a little; and the calumny which has attacked your per-
son has never attacked your good intentions; it has not
inflicted very deep wounds.
General Cavaignac—Well, I repeat my question. Will
the Constitutionnel support me? To so frank a question
let me have a frank reply.
M. Veron—Then frankly, General, in asking the Con-
stitutionnel to support you, you do not impose on it a
very easy task.
General Cavaignac (warmly )—And why not?
M. Veron—Because this poor country, already so suf.
faring, your party appear disposed to injure in its in-
terests, and almost in its morals.
General Cavaignac—How its morals ? Have I not,
then, washed my hands ?
(The conversation then turned on the remplacement
militaire, in which M.: Veron made use of au argument
as to the majority being opposed to that measure).—M
Veron (continued)—General, you have made a step, a
considerable step towards that majority, by appointing
MM. Dufaure and Vie en. but scarcely have you made
a movement towards this majority than you are seen to
retrograde. You again surround yourself with the men
from whom you had separated yourself, as if you were
compelled always to move in the same circle, that of
the . . .
General Cavaignac (rising with warmth)—This is the
language of your party; always majorities—not a word
of minorities. You are an intractable party. You have
learned nothing, and forgotten nothing. According to
you, we must always govern for and by the majorities.
But have not the miuorities their rights? Did not the
minorities teach you, on the 24th of February, what
they could do? They may repeat the lesson. The
misfortune of this country is, that the opinions that you
represent have so great an influence—for Ido not deny
your influence.
M. Veron—But, after all, what do they represent?
Ideas of order, which can alone save society, and which
alone can give stability to power.
General Cavaignac—ldeas of order! What, have we
done nothing for thew? Paris, so profoundly dis-
turbed, is it not tranquil? Under the Republic, can you
not live in security and ease? Can you not dine as
comfortably, and pass your evenings in amusement?
M. Veron—So we could when the Cossacks were in
Paris; the invasion did not deprive us of this. If no
other benefits were to result, this would be but a sorry
argument for your candidateship.
General Cavaignac—Well, I see you are not for me,
and in a day or two I shall expect to see an attack on
me in the Constitutionnel.
Mr. Veron—M. Le President, your services shall not
be repudiated by the Constitutionnel, and your character
shall be respected; but as to that adhesion you desire, I
cannot promise it, It is a matter that demands con-
sideration. _ _

General Cavaignac—Then I shall see you again.
M. Veron—lf, after what I have said, you think a
second interview useful, I shall be at your orders.—
(Thus ended the conversation.)

The following note bas been sent to the Paris
lournals _

"A general meeting convoked on November 23, 1848,
at which all the Poles in Paris were invited to attend,
has decided that the ceremony of the anniversary of the
Polish revolution of November 29, 1830, shall not be
celebrated except by a mass at St. Rooh on the 29th
instant, at eleven in the morning. It was considered
that in presence of the deplorable events which are pas-
sing in Poland, and of the present political state of
Europe, the celebration of the anniversary in the form
hitherto observed might give occasion to irritating discus-
sions. The rights and the martyrdom of Poland, the duties
of France towards her, speak a language clear and sig-
nificant enough. Full of the calm sentiment of their
moral force, the Poles await the realisation of the solemn
engagements freely contracted towards their country.
The Poles, whilst recognising the immense bearing and
importance of that engagement, think that there would
be too grave inconvenience to indefinitely retard the ex-
ecution of it.
" Paris, Nov. 29."
[Here follow the names of the members of the Com-
mittee.]
A letter from Lyons states that the strike amongst
the men employed in the coal-pits of the Loire has
terminated. The moderation of the authorities and
the conciliatory language of the Prefect has led to this
result. Some of the ringleaders were arrested, an
the other men have agreed to work for the present
four days in the week only. The armed force,
though placed at the disposal of the Prefect, was not
called out.

ITALY.
The Costituzionale Sulalpino of the 24th mentions
a rumour current at Turin, that the Pope had es-
caped to Civita Vecchia, where he had embarked in a
Neapolitan vessel.
. .

In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies of
.Turin
of the 512 d, the Minister answered some questions
concerning the presence of the Sardinian fleet in the
Adriatic. The objects were— 1. To prevent the
blockade of Venice ; 2. To maintain the status quo
of the armistice after the mediation offered by France ;
3. To exercise the right of reprisals against Marshal
Radetzky, who unjustly retains part of the Pied-
montese artillery of Peschiera. As to the withdrawal
of the Sardinian fleet, he explained that it was owing
to no strategic operations ; that the King had no
allies in the last war, and was at liberty to act as he
pleased ; lastly, that since the blockade and the hos-
tilities of Austria have permanently ceased against
Venice, the presence of the fleet is not necessary there
at present.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Nov. 28.-1 he arrival of Lord Clarendon is
rumoured for Thursday next, when it is stated the ap-
pointment to the vacant bishopric will be announced.
The selection of an Englishman as master of the Royal
School of Armagh, and the unpopularity of the appoint-
ment, would incline one to hope that discontent be not
stimulated among the clergy of the Establishment by a
second nomination of that nature. The income of the
see is 4,4631. 9s. Old., of which over 3,0001. arises from
fines—of course this payment will be irregular.
The loss to Ireland arising from the failure of the po-
tato, and its consequential results, is estimated at
43,000,000/.

THE STATE PRISONERS.
For the last two or three days Mr. Smith O'Brien has
suffered considerably from au attack of lumbago which
has confined him to his bed. Although this disease is
most troublesome and painful, it is not one of a dan-
gerous character, and the medical attendant of Mr.
O'Brien confidently expects that his patient will have
sufficiently recovered in a day or two so as to be enabled
to take his usual exercise. Mr. M'Manus has improved
in health, and is going on most favourably, so that in a
short time he will be completely restored.
ANOTHER TIPPERARY MURDER.
For the sake of human nature it is to be hoped that
there is over-colouring in the following horrifying ac-
count of man•butchery in the county of Tipperary:—
" DUNDRUM, Nov. 25.—A murder has just been com-
mitted in this neighbourhood under circumstances of
peculiar atrocity. A farmer of the name of James Hen-
nessey, of Gaffin, near Dundrum, having risen on Thurs-
day morning rather early for the purpose of detecting
some persons who were in the habit of stealing his tur-
nips, was assailed by a number of men, who literally
riddled his body with slugs, and not content with that,
beat, cut, and stabbed him in the most dreadful manner.
He lay for two hours within a field of his own house,
and his wife must have met a horrible sight, as she
stumbled over his body on her way to milking. It is
supposed that the savage manner in which they treated
the body arose from their desire to finish their job in a
more busines-like manner than they did on a former
occasion to his still more unfortunate brother.
The latter was fired at in open daylight, both
his legs broken, and left for dead. He reco-
vered, however, after a long illness, and the miserable
cripple, scarcely able to crawl, might have been spared;
but the murderers were again sent on his track, and
exactly on the same spot he saw four armed men running
over the field. Being hardly able to move he screamed
dreadfully, and some men ran to his assistance; but the
villains, with cocked guns, ordered them to lie down
and witness that they this time did their work
more effectually. Three of them held the unfortunate
wretch, while the fourth actually hacked his head off
with a billhook. This occurred some time previous to
the murder I have mentioned above, and explains the
unusual pains they took to extinguish life. Hennessey
was an industrious farmer, and generally esteemed, espe-
cially by his landlord, Lord Hawarden, one of the best
and most indulg nt landlords in the south of Ireland,
who (ably seconded by his agent, Mr. John Stewart)
is untiring in his efforts to benefit his tenantry and in-
troduce such a system of agriculture as may conduce to
their comfort and respectability."
RAILWAY AMALGAMATION.

Profiting by the example of the great English com-
panies, a requisition is in course of signature for a meet-
ing of the shareholders in the Dublin and Drogheda,
Dublin and Belfast Junction, Dundalk and Enniskillen
Companies, to take into consideration the best means of
effecting an amalgamation of the four companies
" Power to amalgamate," says the Irish Railway
Gazette—

" The companies already possess, so that there would
be no necessity fur an application to Parliament ; but
the amalgamation ccmpsny would not be legally styled,
as suggested in the circular addressed to the shareholders
of ' The Great Northern and Western Rail way Company,'
without a new Act to authorise the change. Upon the
policy of an amalgamation we believe no person conver-
sant with the position of the four companies can enter-
tain a doubt. The great saving ffected by the
working of the combined company would be one of
the least of the advantages derivable from the
measure. Not only would the general manage-
ment be more consistent and vigorous, but economy
could be carried out to an extant that the companies
singly are incapable of, and the result would prove
equally advantageous to the shareholders and the public.
The amalgamated company would embrace an extent of
209 miles of railway, of which, however, only 354 is
open, while 59 miles are in an advanced state of con-
struction, and e ill be opened, we presume, by January
next. When these portions are opened there will then
be 944 miles of railway working together, with the ex-
ception of the break at Drogheda over the Boyne,
leaving 1144 miles to be completed; and it cannot be
questioned that under the management of one board and
one set of officials,the working could be more satisfactorily
and economically conducted than by four boards, with
their conflicting opinions, their divided responsibility,
and their seemingly antagonistic interests."

CITY COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS. 1
Yesterday a Court was held.
Mr. Deputy STEVENS gave notice that he should, at
the next Court, move for the appointment of a special
committee to inquire into the question of procuring a
cheaper supply of gas to the city of London.
An application was made for permission to lay down
a sample of Welsh stone as pavement in the Poultry.
The petitioners stated that the article was twice as
durable as the York stone, so that fur the 20 years which
the latter might stand the Welsh stone would last 40
years.—Referred to the surveyor for examination.
Some conversation took place upon the subject of pre-
venting the continuance of what appeared to be a regu-
lar system of obstruction in Love-lane, which was stated
to be frequently blocked up with baskets and trucks,
&c., by tradespeople, in such a manner as to make the
difficulty of ingress or egress, as regarded the market,
insuperable. It was finally resolved that the inspectors
should warn the parties who caused the obstructions to
remove them upon pain of being made liable to the in-
fliction of the Green-yard expensQs, and other penalties.

NO CHOLERA IN THE CITY.

Mr. Simorr, the Medical Officer of Health, reported
to the Court that no case of cholera had occurred since
ho had made his last report. He, however, repeated
that he considered it necessary that he should be sup.
plied with the particular returns from the medical offi-
cers of the City unions for which he had in the first ins
stance applied, as an indispensable means of enabling
him to adapt the sanitary regulations to the various
contingencies which might arise.

COURT CIRCULAR.
OSBORNE, TUESDAY.
Her Majesty and his Royal Highness the Prince
Albert took their accustomed walk in the grounds at
Osborne.

The younger branches of the Royal Family also
took walking exercise upon the beach.
Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. C. B. and Mrs. Phipps
had the honour of joining the royal dinner party yes-
terday evening.
Lord Waterpark, Lord in Waiting to her Majesty,
left Osborne this morning, his period of duty having
elapsed.
Colonel Berkeley Drummond, Groom in Waiting,
is expected to arrive in the course of the day, and
will be in attendance upon the Queen.

Mr. Higham, Secretary and Comptroller-General
to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the Na-
tional Debt, and Mr. Tidd Pratt, had au interview
with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at
his official residence in Downing-street.
The Earl of Clarendon had an interview with Lord
John Russell yesterday. Several of the Cabinet
Ministers also visited the Noble Lord, yesterday, at
his residence in Chesham-place.
Captain Moody had an interview with Earl Grey
yesterday, at the Colonial-office.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.
The opera of the Bride of Lammermoor was repeated
here last evening, with Mademoiselle Nissen as Lucia,
and Mr. Sims Reeves as Edgardo. It was a perfect
triumph for both artistes. Mademoiselle Nissen is the
representative par excellence of the young heroines of
opera. We should much like to see her in the part of
Elvira in I Puritani. We understand Signor Schira
has entrusted the rale of Amy to her. He could not
make a better selection, her pronunciation of the Eng-
lish language being certainly the most perfect we have
from any foreign artiste.
