rYmrscs. It is an historical event not to be disdained,
that the Germanic race has formally been engrafted on
the Gallic race, and thence we can c.)mprehend that the
French and Germans ought to be brothers, in spite of
the contests which the tyre nations hare had to maintain
one against the other."

The number of the Spanish refugees who have
been sent to the Castle of Blsye since the escape of
the Count de Montemolin, is thirteen, and their
names are the Marquis de -Valdespina, a Grandee of
Spain, formerly Minister of War; Generals Villa-
real, Gomez, Vargas, and Guibelalde ; Colonels Men-
zano, Negueralla, Zabuto, Zebacho, and Aysete ; and
three ecclesiastics, Gonzales Balthazar, Jose Antonio,
and Jose Übage. Valdespina, Villareal, Menzane'
and Negueralla have been so much indisposed as to
require and receive the attendance of Surgeon-Major
Brivin, who is charged with the medical service of
the castle.

The illoniteur publishes the Excise returns of
France for the first three quarters of the present
year, which show, as compared with 1845,
an increase of 13,000,000 f. (520,0001.), and with
1844, an increase of upwards of 27,000,000 f. This
statement does not appear to have had a favourable
influence on the Bourse, where it was stated that
" the reserve" of the Bank of France had from
254,000,000 f. diminished to 130,000,000 f,, and that
the reserve of the public Treasury had dimi-
nished in a similar proportion. The pressure for
money was so great in Paris on Wednesday, that
bills amounting to 1.5,000,000 f. were tendered for dis-
count at the bank that day ; the largest sum on re-
cord for many years.

The price of bread and of meat continues unpre-
cedentedly high in Paris. The consumption of butchers'
meat has considerably lessened, as compared with
last year, and the number of bankruptcies has greatly
increased.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
BEAN V. JOHNSTON.
-. .

This was an adjourned summons under the Small
Debts Act. The plaintiff, it will be remembered, is the
landlord of tie Greyhound Inn, at Croydon, and the de-
fendant is a lady who had been connected with the
affairs of his Serene Highness the Duke of Brunswick
(the particulars of which were reported in The Sun
of Saturday last). The defendant had contracted a debt
of between 121. and 131„ but refused to pay, and a ver-
dict was recovered against her. The case was adjourned
in order that the plaintiff might adduce evidence to show
that the defendant possessed means to pay.
At the request of the defendant, summonses were also
granted against two gentlemen to attend.
Mr. Bean said that he was labouring under a great
difficulty to show she could pay the debt. He under-
stood from the defendant's offer, on the last examiaation,
to hand over documents to show that she was entitled to
property, that the defendant meant to make out some-
thing was coming to her, out of which alone she could
pay the debt, and therefore that defendant ought to make
out her case.

The Learned COMMISSIONER said Mr. Bean must show
that the defendant was in a condition to pay.
Miss Johnston called Mr. Warutord, a solicitor.
Mr. Harrison, Mr. Warnford's managing clerk, said
that he attended to produce a deed. Mr. Warnford was
at the Judge's chambers, but would attend in a short
time, and regretted he could not do so at the moment.

Mr. Hilling, a solicitor, appeared on behalf of Mr.
Dudley, a relative of the defendant, and who had been
summoned, and in answer to questions by the Learned
Commissioner, said he did not think that the defendant
had any interest in the property she claimed.
Mr. Bean urged that the defendant had admitted
on the last occasion that she had received money from
his Serene Highness, and could receive more.
The defendant said the last money she had received
was in January last. She was an authoress. The de-
fendant then passed some very strong remarks on the
case.

The Learned COMMISSIONER cut short a warm con-
versation between the defendant, and Mr. Hillery, and
Mr. Bean, by saying his duty was only to see whether
the defendant had means. Mr. Hillery was the only
one who spoke to the point, and he thought the de-
fendant had not means at present, and therefore no order
could be made ; if, however, it was shown hereafter that
Stle eIJUICI " "ULU ' 81a1.11/CU.
The defendant, who had a large packet of newspapers
and documents, was proceeding to address the Court on
" the whole matter in dispute," as she termed it, but was
checked.

GUILDHALL—(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Storey, of Fleet-street, was summoned by the
Churchwardens of St. Duntan's-in.the-West, for non-
payment of 91. 155., due for church-rates.
The case was heard before Mr. Alderman Gibbs mil
Mr. Alderman Copeland on last Saturday, when the de-
cision was in favour of the Churchwardens, but no war-
rant of distress was then pressed for. This day Mr.
Perry appeared for the defendant, and contended that
the magistrates had no jurisdiction, inasmuch as the
rates due amounted to 151., and were therefore not re-
coverable in this court.

After a very prolonged discussion the magistrates de-
cided in this (and in the other following cases), that the
complainant had discretion to take out a summons in
the first instance for the smaller sum, and to proceed
afterwards for the remainder. They .would not grant
an appeal to the sessions, for which they considered there
was no ground. A warrant of distress was accordingly
ordered.
Several other cases of the same nature were similarly
diposed of.
