CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
The Lor*Chancellor sat in his Court at Westminster
to-day, shortly after ten o'clock, and before twelve
o'clock had disposed of all the cases in his paper, thereby
concluding the hearing of all the appeals at present set
down before him. His Lordship will not sit to-morrow,
there being nothing for him to proceed with. On Wednes-
day, which is the last day of term, his Lordship will
hear motions, and after the first seal his Lordship will
probably take original causes.

IN RE ROBSON—PETITION OF RIGHT.
Our readers will recollect that this case, which came
before the Court upon an application for a commission
to inquire into the allegation of a petition of right, was
ordered to stand over till to-day, in order to give
the Attorney-General an opportunity of consi-
dering what course he would adopt on behalf
of the Crown. On the case being called on this morn-
iug, it was stated that there was no objection to the
course proposed to be pursued by the petitioner.
CHRISTIAN V. FOSTER.
The arguments in this part-heard appeal were resumed
and concluded to-day, and
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would give judgment
on Wednesday.
The only two other appeals on his Lordship's paper,
Stocker v. Dawson, and Hawkes v. Howell, having been
disposed of, his Lordship rose before twelve o'clock.

LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1846.

Never was the instability of Oriental Govern-
ments more signally illustrated than at this present
moment. Notwithstanding all the carnage of
Sobraon and Ferozeshah, we are again driven to
arms, we are again compelled to dispatch our soldiers
to the perilous fastnesses of the east, we are again
threatened with all the vicissitudes of a precarious and
ngratusanguinarylated campaign. Those who have fallaciously
n themselves with the impression that
e
be now
our recent victories in India, and our complicated dis-
tribution of patronage and territory, had brought
matters to a definite settlement and was inagura-
teinvteireloyf
ua n dpeecremi vaendent tranquillity,
. The
ment among the treacherous and quarrelsome
chieftains of Asia, has been tolerably well demon-
strated from the administration of the immortal
CLITE to that of ELLENBOROUGH. Numberless as
have been the alternations of power and of military
fortune during that interval, every successive oc-
currence has demonstrated the incompetency of the
several petty despots to maintain anything like a
stable dominion over their different principalities, or to
infuse any degree of political confidence or social re-
gularity into the :population subjected to their
sway. Religious animosities, the jealousies of caste,
and the enmities which have been generated among
the inhabitants of neighbouring provinces during the
lapse of generations, have all tended to perpetuate the
intestine strifes by which India has been for centuries
desolated. Whenever tranquillity has been temporarily
restored in one direction, war has simultaneously
broken out in another; whenever conces-
sions have pacified this ruler, or obedi-
ence has been extorted from that, some
refractory principality has involved our representa-
tives in a new and still more complicated series of
embarrassments. Disastrous conflicts have been the
invariable sequel of our Indian victories. The apple
of conquest has only possessed a superficial bloom : in
reality it has always concealed ashes and disappoint-
ment. If we were to con, one by one, the circum-
stances which have illustrated our Asiatic domination
since its first establishment, down to the latest dis-
patches from Calcutta and Bombay, we should dis-
cover nothing but a succession of tribulations caused by
our egregious confidence in the possibility of balancing
political power among the various provinces. Our
endeavours in that quarter of the globe have been as
blundering, as obstinate, and as ineffectual, as those
of SISYPHUS. We have attempted to combine in one
friendly cluster a number of heterogeneous states—
states possessing no common bond of sympathy—
states essentially opposed- to the very existence of
each other.

According to:the stipulations entered into imme-
mediately after Sobraon, we engaged, among other
things, to ensure to GHOOLAB SINGH the possession of
the Vale of Cashmere, a fruitful and naturally forti-
fied principality, which was originally annexed, in
1752, to the Dooranee empire by AHMED SCRAH, but

NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF POLICIES IN THE EQUITABLE
ASSURANCE COMPANY OF LONDON.
UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,
No. 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London.
The attention of Holders of Policies in the Equitable Assurance
Company of London, is particularly called to the Half-credit Scales
of Premium of this Company, by which table the bonus to be de-
clared at the next investigation of the Equitable Assurance Cone-
patty's affairs, in January, 1850, may be secured at a present annual
payment of one-half the rates generally charged by other compa-
nies. In the event of death the sum insured will be paid, after deduc-
tion of the other half of the rates. Should the life insured survive the
declaration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the
Company will renounce all claim for the half premiums
that which may
be due thereon ; or in the event of the party being at
bad health, the policy can be kept up at the full premium
this Com-
of the age
as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with
pany, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last division of profits
in the Equitable Assurance Company, in 1840, when it was largely
adopted, and many of the policies then effected are still in force,

FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 19.—0 n the 17th, the English
steamer the Duke of Cornwall arrived at Ostend, with
the Empress Dowager of Brazil, who is travelling under
the name of Countess Mondello. Her Majesty, with her
daughter the Duchess Braganza, set out on the 18th at
seven o'clock by a special train for Aix la Chapelle.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 20.—The political discussion on the
address was terminated to-day in the Chamber of
Deputies. The amendment proposed by Mr. Rogier,
which raised the question of confidence, or, more pro-
perly speaking, of distrust in the Ministry, was rejected
by a majority of 52 to 32. Thus the Chamber, by a
majority of 10, has decided against the opposition.
The Chamber then commenced the discussion on the
paragraphs.
The examination of the budgets in the Chambers is
either terminated or very nearly so in the sections.
Several of them have commenced the examination of
the project law, relative to the several measures to be
taken, in consequence of the dearness of provisions, and
on the crisis of our linen manufacture. _ _

—. ....- .. _
In the first section, Mr. Rodenbach proposed, and was
supported by several Members, that the credit for one
million two hundred thousand francs asked by the Go-
vernment to assist those communes the resources of
which shall beprovedinsufficient, shall be raised to double
that sum. _

Complaints have lately been made respecting the high
price and scarcity of cast iron in Belgium, and on the
high import duties on foreign iron. We will only ob-
serve, that since the law of the 4th March, 1846, upon
the entrepOts, that :inconvenience may easily be reme-
died, as respects articles destined to be re-exported.
Very lately we expressed a hope that merchants of
Antwerp might find it possible, by making some efforts
to attend to Antwerp the steamers which an American
Company is fitting out for speedy organization of a line
of steamers to trade with our continent with the inter-
vention of the Government of the limited states.

A letter from Bremen addressed to the Augsburgk
Gazelle, announces to-day that this communication will
shortly be •organized between New York and Bremen.
All other natioas says the correspondent, have attempted
in vain to obtain this advantage. France is said to have
desired it for Havre, England for Liverpool, Belgium
for Antwerp, Holland fur Rotterdam, and Denmark for
Gluckstadt. The correpondent continues by enumerating
the advantages which this negotiation will procure to
Germany, which he seems to consider as already realised.
A terrible accident took place yesterday at half-past
seven in the evening in the coal mine of Saint Barbe,
near Leming. Seven workmen were going down into a
shaft about 200 yards in depth, they had descended only
a few yards, when the rope broke, and the unfortunate
men fell to the bottom. Their death was instantaneous.
They were so dreadfully mutilated that it was necessary
to call all the workmen together in order to identify the
dead bodies.
London, England, 1846-11-23

RECALL OF HIS EXCELLENCY

THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR.

It is now positively stated that his Excellency the
Count de St. Aulaire has been recalled from his high
diplomatic duties, as Ambassador from France to this
country, by his Sovereign. Although it is well known
that the Noble Count did not expect to remain here
beyond two years longer, his sudden recall has excited,
perhaps unnecessarily,much speculation in the diplomatic
circles. _

His Excellency the Count de St. Aulaire is now in
Paris, and may be expected to arrive shortly at the
French embassy from that capital, to have an audience
of the Queen to take leave of her Majesty, and to take
his farewell of the several members of the foreign sorps
diplomatique.
In all future communications between the French
Government and Viscount Palmerston, the Count de
Jarnac will have to transact all business as chargé
d'affaires, and will on that account retain the poisession
of Hertford House. It is generally said that some months
will elapse ere the Count de St. Aulaire's successor is ap-
pointed, and en attendant, the Count de Jarnac will dis-
charge the diplomatic functions.
The Count Louis de Noailles, the second secretary to
the embassy, is also about to leave this country perma-
nently. We have been informed the Count departs for
France early in January.
The Countess de St. Aulaire will not accompany the
noble Count to this country. The retirement of the
Count and Countess will be deeply regretted by all
moving in what is termed the beau monde, for since his
Excellency's arrival in this capital he has maintained
with splendid hospitality the reputation of the French
Court, as representative of Louis Philippe. The Count
de St. Aulaire has been ambassador here since M. Guizot
left this country to take office, on the dismissal of M.
Thiers. Previous to that, the Count Sebastiani was
the Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo-
tiary.
Other changes in the personnel of the embassy are ru-
moured. For some weeks past there has been the
greatest activity apparent in the chancellerie of the em-
bassy, Cabinet couriers arriving and departing as often
as four times in the course of the day. A courier is
hourly expected at Hertford House from Paris; and it is
imagined he will be the bearer of M. Guizot's answer to
Viscount Palmerston's last note.

The supply of tonnage having been somewhat scanty,
while shippers have increased in number, freights to

now Ors. to srs. per candy for cotton.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL.

The Royal Mail packet Tweed, G. Parsons, R.N.
Commander, arrived at Southampton on Friday, at four
P.M., bringing the usual mails, a small number of dollars
on merchants' accounts, 24 tierces and 8 barrels of cof-
fee, some ginger, 13 cases and 122 kegs succades, 87
bales of tobacco, 4 cases of cigars, and 32 passengers.
Her dates are—Demerara, October 20 ; Trinidad,
21 ; Grenada, 26 ; St. Thomas's, 30 ; Jamaica, 24.
Mr. Robert Rawle, a passenger, from Trinidad, died
at sea on the 16th of November. The Tweed expe-
rienced fine weather home, but during the last two
days fell in with the bad weather we have had on the
coast. The only vessel she spoke was the Bellhaven
barque.
Ou her departure from the various islands much rain
had fallen, and the weather was highly favourable for
the crops. Cuba had not suffered so severely from the
gale, which was so terrific at Havannah, as had been
feared.
By the Tweed's arrival we have scarcely any news.
We learn that the company's ship Clyde was at Grenada;
Forth, at Havannah; Tay, in the Gulf of Mexico; Trent,
on the Spanish Main ; Eagle, at St. Thomas's and

SUSPECTED MURDER AT SUTTON.—The inquiry
into the case of George Taylor, whose body was dis-
interred after being in the grave two years, to ascertain
the presence of arsenic, which it was suspected had been
administered by Elizabeth Smith, his housekeeper, was
resumed on Tuesday last. Further evidence having
been given to show that the accused parties in recrimi-
nating each other had implicated themselves, the coroner
referred to a report which had been received from Pro-
fessor Taylor, who stated that he had completed the
analysis of the remains transmitted to him, and had been
unable to detect the presence of any metallic poison.
Mr. Pettinger, the surgeon, gave it as his decided opi-
nion, after hearing the evidence, and from the symptoms
he saw in Taylor, that he had died from the effects of
arsenic. Dr. Hugh Morten, of Newark, coincided in
that opinion. After the coroner had summed up the
evidence, the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter
against Elizabeth Smith and Sarah Taylor.
; DARING BURGLARY.—On Friday information was
forwarded to the police that the premises of Mr. Tylery,
No. 70, Long-lane, Barbican, had been entered on Friday
morning, and the entire stock of watches and jewellery
carried off, as well as ninety gold and silver watches,
valued at 2001., that bad been left for repair.
A BLUE HARE.—On Tuesday last, a hare of a
singular colour, which had been seen in Mr. Wood-
bridge's coverts, at Bigods, for a year or two, and called
the " blue hare," was killed by Dr. Barnes. Its fur re-
sembled that of the grey squirrel, and bad a yeryisingular
appearance.— Chelmeord Chronicle,

FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 19.—0 n the 17th, the English
steamer the Duke of Cornwall arrived at Ostend, with
the Empress Dowager of Brazil, who is travelling under
the name of Countess Mondello. Her Majesty, with her
daughter the Duchess Braganza, set out on the 18th at
seven o'clock by a special train for Aix In Chapelle.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 20. —The political discussion on the
address was terminated to-day in the Chamber of
Deputies. The amendment proposed by Mr. Bugler,
which raised the question of confidence, or, more pro-
perly speaking, of distrust in the Ministry, was rejected
by a majority of 52 to 32. Thus the Chamber, by a
majority of 10, has decided against the opposition.
The Chamber then commenced the discussion on the
paragraphs.
The examination of the budgets in the Chambers is
either terminated or very nearly so in the sections,
Several of them have commenced the examination of
the project law, relative to the several measures to be
taken, in consequence of the dearness of provisions, and
on the crisis of our linen manufacture.

In the first section, Mr. Rodenbach propoied; and was
supported by several Meinbers; that-'the credit, for, one
million two hundred thousand francs asked by the Go-
vernment to assist those communes the resources of
which shall beproved insufficient, shall be raised to double
that sum.

Complaints have lately been made respecting the high
price and scarcity of cast iron in. Belgium; and on the
high import duties on foreign iron. We will only ob-
serve, that since the law of the 4th March, 1846, upon

died, as respects articles destined to be re-exported.
' Very lately` we expressed a hope that merchants of
Antwerp might find it possible, by making some efforts
to attend to Antiverp the steamers which an American
Company is fitting out for speedy organization of a line
of steamers to trade with our continent with the inter-
vention of the Government of the limited states.

A letter from Bremen addressed to the Augsburgh
Gazette, announces to day that this communication will
shortly be organized between New York and Bremen.
All other natiom says' the correspondent, have attempted
in vain to obtain this advantage. France is said to have
desired it for Havre, England for Liverpool, Belgium
for Antwerp, Holland for Rotterdam, and Denmark for
Gluckstadt. The correpondent continues by enumerating
the advantages which this negotiation will procure to
Germany, which he seems to consider as already realised.
A terrible accident took place yesterday at half-past
seven in the evening in the coal mine of Saint Barbe,
near Leruing. Seven workmen were going down into a
shaft about 200 yards in depth, they had descended only
a few yards, when the rope broke, and the unfortunate
men fell to the bottom. Their death was instantaneous.
They were so dreadfully mutilated that it was necessary
to call all the workmen together in order to identify the
dead bodies.

town receipt-book for November, 1845, and in that book
there was an entry of 2191. us. 10d., on the 15th of No-
vember to the credit of that firm.

M-. Birch produced a memorandum book, and a diary,
found in his office, and which he believed to be in the
hand-writing of the prisoner, and in these books were
entrie.; of the 15th of November, which be considered
had reference to matters connected with the subject of
the charge. _ _

After some evidence of a complicated nature,
Mr. Bush applied for a remand.
M. Woolfe objected, and said that the case proceeded
with extraordinary slowness.
Alderman GIBBS said the case was full of difficulty,
and it certainly proceeded slowly, but that was attri-
butable to the nature of the subject.
Mr. Bush said, the question would lose the character
of tardiness, if the prisoner would show how he became
possessed of the notes.
Mr. Woolfe protested against such a demand. It was
unfair to expect that a prisoner should be required to
prove his innocence ; it was for the prosecutor to prove
his guilt. He trusted that bail would be taken.
Alderman GIBBS said, he could not accept of bail, and
remanded the prisoner till Saturday.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, August 5. -
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yestealay.)
DRAINAGE OF LANDS BILL.
This Bill then went through Committee, and after a desul-
tory conversation was ordered to be reported to-morrow.
Messengers from the Lords then brought down several
Bills, which were ordered to be laid on the table.
GAUGE OF RAILWAYS BILL.
On the motion of Mr. MILNER GIBSON, this Bill was
read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow.
RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
Sir DE LACY EVANS wished to know from the Govern-
ment whether it was in consequence of any defect in the
powers of the Board of Trade, that the causes of the acci-
dents on railways were not more fully inquired into and
prevented than at present? If the Board had not sufficient
powers to do so, he should feel it his duty to apply to
Parliament to confer on that body the necessary powers.
Mr. M.
,9„IBSON admitted that, at present, this
Board laboured under the disadvantage of not
having sufficient powers in reference to the subject
alluded to. The Board, however, defective as its powers
were, exercised a great influence over railways, and
in a great measure prevented accidents on them. The Go-
vernment had no objection to invest the Board with the
necessary powers.
DEODANDS ABOLITION (No. 2) BILL.
This Bill then went through Committee, and was ordered
to be reported on Friday.

The House then went into Committee on this Bill, and
after a brief discussion, in which Sir Robert Ferguson, Mr.
Pigott, Lord Lincoln, Mr. Labouchere, and Captain Jones
took part,
Sir G. GREY said, that as there were several other orders
of the day yet to be disposed of, and on which he believed
there would be no discussion, he hoped his Right Hon.
Friend (Mr. Pigott) would consent to the postponement of
this measure till some other day.
Sir ROBERT FERGUSON—You should have finished
the other orders of the day before you entered upon this.
The discussion on the clauses was then renewed, and the
whole of them having been agreed to, the House resumed,
and the report was ordered to be brought up on Friday.
DISTRICT LUNATIC ASYLUMS BILL.

on Tuesday, near Belper, Derbyshire. The fight was a good
one. Terry was declared the victor after seventy; three

THE ARMY.

As some inaccurate statements have gained circulation
on the subject of the probable movements of the regi-
ments intended for the Cape, we are requested to state
that the precise arrangement is as follows :—The 2atde
battalion of the Rifle Brigade will more from the Island
of Corfu to Gibraltar, there to await the arrival of the
6th Foot from Cork. Both regiments will proceed
together from the Rock to the Cape, and will be con-
veyed, as stated some time since, by steamers.
The 2d (the Queen's Bays) and the 13th (Prince
Albert's Light Infantry) are mentioned as likely to have
new colours presented to them very shortly.
We have reason to believe that in both cases the cere-
mony will be performed by Lady Pakenham, although it
is reported that his Royal Highness Prince Albert will
officiate in the latter.
The army in Ireland for the present month consists of
the 2d Dragoon Guards, Dublin Dragoons, Ban-
Dublin ; 6th Light Dragoons, Long.fcoord ;
Caber ; 10th Light Dragoons,
1 i ; 28dt
h Dramsff uos
Hussars,
Dublin; 17th Lancers, Dundalk ; depot of Ist '

battalion Ist Foot, Dublin ; ditto 15th Foot, at Water-
ford ; ditto 16th Foot, at Athlone ; ditto 19th Foot,
at Boyle ; 26th Foot, Enniskillen ; 30th Foot,
Dublin ; depot of 33d Foot, at Birr in the King's
County ; ditto of 34th Foot, at Clontuel ; ditto of 38th
Foot, at Londonderry ; 41st Foot, Mullingar ; 44th,
Nenagh ; 47th, Dublin ; depot of 48th, at Newbridge;
49th, Castlebar; depot of 54th, at Fermoy; 59th, Dub-
lin ; 64th, Dublin; depot of 66th, Templemore; 67th,
Cork; 70th, Dublin; ditto of 72d, Nenagh; 75th, Ath-
lone; depot of 77th, Fermoy; ditto of 79th, Belturbet;
ditto of 82d, Spike Island; 83d, Limerick; depot of 88th,
Ballinasloe; 92d Highlanders, Belfast; depot of 93d,
Carlow; ditto of 95th, Tralee. The average force in
Ireland throughout the year is about 22,000 men, whose
expenditure is always very considerable.

THE COLONELCY-OF TIM IST FOOT.—As our readers
are already aware, the Colonelcy of this, the most
lucrative and the highest regiment of the line, is vacant
by the demise of Sir George Murray, who succeeded
Lord Lynedoch, formerly Sir Thomas Graham, in
1843. The profits of the corps will, agreeably to
usage, be available to the representatives of the de-
ceased for upwards of twelve months. The precise
arrangement as to the future Colonel is not therefore
likely to transpire for some weeks, but nevertheless it is
generally expected that the appointment will be con-
ferred on Sir John Macdonald, Colonel of the 42d High-
landers and Adjutant of the Army ; and that he will
be succeeded in the latter regiment by Sir James Mac-
donneil of the 79th. The latter officer was at Waterloo.
Major-General D'Oyly from the Grenadier Guards, an
old Waterloo officer, who has already been passed over,
it is thought will be gazetted to the 79th.
The Governorship of Jamaica, another lucrative mili-
tary appointment, also vacant by the demise of Sir
George, will no doubt have many candidates, but as the
Duke's antipathy to pluralism is well known, no fear of
its improper disposal need be entertained.

Yards, the Eurydice to leeward; but at 4 P.M. (Sunday) the
Constance was to leeward, and at 8 P.M. she bore S.S.E.
five miles, wind variable from S.W. to W. by S. After mid-
night they had a leading wind until daylight, when the Cone
stance was seen S.S.E., courses down from deck. At 9 A.m.
(Monday), wind from W.N.W., the Constance bore E. S.
13 miles, and by noon the Eurydice lost sight of her, bearing

precluded a fair trial, and renders it impossible to enter more
fully into detail as to distance:'
A gunner's mate, belonging to the Excellent, named John
Porter, lately serving in the Warapite, 50, fell, in descending
the side, into the Liberty boat, on Monday evening, and his
head striking the boat's gunwale, he died instantly. He was
interred to• day, the ships, as the procession passed, tolling
their bells.
The Athol troop-ship did not sail yesterday, according to
Admiralty order, and remains at Spithead.
The Aid, naval lighter, Smallman master, arrived this
morning with stores from the eastern yards.
The following ships have served the usual term of commis-
sion (three.years); some of them nearly double that time,
and may shortly be expected home to be paid off. Many of
them, having been relieved, are on their passage:—
