Lord Grey of Groby, whose death appearc.-
His
obituary, was eldest son of Earl Stamford, and was in
thirty-fourth year, having been born in April, 1802. He
has left by his wife, Lady Katherine Charteris, fourth
daughter of the Earl of Weruss, whom he married in
1824, two children ; the Hon. George Harry, his eldest son,
is in his ninth year.
Don Juan Bautista Erro, Spanish Minister of Fi-
nance die:* the restoration in Ins, has just arrived in town.
The short vis;: of the Emperor of Russia to Vienna,
it is said, pleased him much that he declared he would
visit that capital again next in company with the Em-
press, and make a considerable stay. .During his visit there,
he conferred on the military persons above sixty ordei.s.
The Duke of Rutland has been visiting the Mar-
quis
of Bristol daring the last week, .and ikas sho:iting with
a party at Ickworth on Saturday, when a melancholy acci-
dent occurred. His servant, Marshall, in loading his mas-
ter's gun,' incautiously placed the cap =Arne barrel before
he had loaded the other, and the trigger being caught by
some means, it went off and lodged the charge in his arm.
The poor Milfl ..was immediately brought to the Hospital,
his Grace taking his turn in bearing the litter ; and it was
deemed necessary to amputate the limb near the shoulder,
which was performed by Me. Smith, and it is hoped that
he will do well. The Noble Duke was in Bury at a very
early hour on Monday, to see him before his departure for
Newmarket, and has evinced the utmost concern for the
poor sufferer, who, with his family, have been faithful ser-
vants of the house of Rutland for many years.—Bury Post.
CAPTAIN BACK'S EXPEDITION.—Mr. Richard
King arrived at the York Hotel, Bridge-street, Blackfriars.
He was the companion of Captain Back to the Northern
regions. Having transported on sledges a weight of
4,0001b5. across nearly the whole line of the Great Slave
Lake, and built a boat on the Slave River as slender as
possible, to insure her being carried over Portage La Loche
by his own crew of eleven men, he embarked on the 10th

P fast ; and having prepared wheels at Chepewyan,
passed the ~i-;age in four days. The distressed state of
the Company's Dos and occasional bands of Indians
labouring under inguee,;:..." detained him some time ; but
on the 28d of August he reaeLed York Factory, Hudson's
Bay, without having met with a single loss, either by
disease or accident. On the 24th September he sailed for
England iii the Fur Company's ship Princee

and arrived off Hastings on the 27th inst., ii•Yer he tk

The new edifice in Jermyn-street exhibite2 4
ysterdaed in
an extraordinary spectacle. Workmen were ea;pl,;
demolishing all the massive porticoes and the barricades
which enclosed the subterranean apartments. Yesterday,
the surveyor of the district, in consequence of the encroach-
ments on the footways, ordered his men to knock down with
sledge hammers the whole of the frontage of the pile, oc-
cupying so considerable a space in Jermyn and Bury streets.
One part of the building we hear was intended for a riding-
school, the other for the Guards' Club.
On Monday last a meeting of the Liverpool Tories
took place, for the purpose of securing the return of Coun-
cillors at the ensuing election under the Corporation Bill.
The annual dinner of the Society for cultivating the
vine in the open air, according to the suggestion of Mr.
Clement Hoare, of Sidlesham, took place at the Dolphin
Inn, on Friday, at Chichester.—Brighton Guardian.
An inhabitant of Sangate, in the Pas de Calais,
sporting on the Downs, heard his dog utter a piercing cry,
and at the same instant the animal ran to him, with an
enormous eagle perched on his back. The bird left its hold
on sight of the sportsman, who levelled his gun, and brought
it to the around. Its wings expanded measured six feet se-
ven inches from tip to tip.—Galignanis Messenger.
On Friday morning, Mrs. Erredge, of Duke-street,
was suddenly alarmed by a shriek il-fan her servant-girl, and
running to the spot whence the sound pi9ceeded, found the
young woman plunged into the soil of the privs-,- the flooring
of which had given way. Immediate assistance iYas ren-
dered, and the girl extricated from her disagreeable sitint-
tion uninjured, though not in an overclean condition.—

FISHERIES IN IRELAND.--A deputation waited
oa Lord Morpeth on Thursday, on this subject, who en-.
tered zealously into the consideration of the present state
of the Irish fisheries : and we have reason to hope that a
Commission of Inquiry will be forthwith issued.—Even-
ing Post.
A DIFFICULTY I—A difficulty occurred in our town
(says the Columbus Enquirer of the 21st ultimo) on Tues-
day last, between Mr. James Johnston and Mr. John M.
Bottom, in which the former was shot through the heart,
and died in a few moments as a matter of course, where-
upon Mr. Bottom surrendered himself to the Shere

was recognised in 10,000 dollars for trial.—[Br Jona-

The lands and forest of Fannich, including tile
salmon fishing, &c., in the county of Ross, were exposed
to sale on Wednesday last, in Paxton's Royal Exchange
Coffeehouse, when, after a keen competition, they were sold
at 2,6001. above the upset price. This rise in the value of
lands in that distant part of the country must be in a great
measure attributed to the rapid and easy communication
which the different enterprising steam-boat companies have
introduced between it and the metropolis.--Glasgow Herald.
PUBLIC JUSTIC.—The Danville Observer says,
" Brady was hanged in Milton (N. C.) last Wednesday,
not until he was dead, but until he ..grew black in the face,'
and then he was remitted to gaol."—What offence this
man had committed we are not told ; but- the Danville
paper tells us that he was cut down from the gallows before
he was quite dead, because the judges had just then disco-
vered that " the law had made no provision for his case!"
and thereupon the same paper very coolly proceeds to in-
voke Judge Lynch to give the wretch a coup de grace.
Much animation has been displayed in the market
for oils, in consequence of the intelligence relative to the '
fisheries of Greenland and Davis' Straits. The quantity
of nil in England is extremely small, there having been
large purchases made for shipment abroad some short time
ago. The prices have advanced from 51. to 6/. on fish oils,
and from 31. to 41. on seed oils. Yesterday some exten-
sive transactions were done at the following quotations :
Greenland, at 42/. ; pale seal, 42/. ; South Sea, 421. ;
sperm, 73/. ; cod, 40/. ; and brown rape, 53/. per tun. The
price of linseed oil is quoted at 445. per cwt. A further
advance is expected, unless, as is believed, the oils bought
on foreign account should come to market, in order to
realize the profits by the present rise.
CANINE ATTACHMENT.--A few Sundays since
a Reverend Divine going to do duty for a neighbouring in-
cumbent, at a village not many miles from the metropolis,
.was followed by ;faithful dog ; on discovering which, to
avoid what happened, he bad his faithful follower, as he
thought, safely secured by the side of his horse in the
Vicar's stable. In the course of the service, however, Rover
contri.ved, to make his escape, and made his way to his mas-
ter, who had just ascended the pulpit, placing his head and
pays upon the cushion in token of his satisaction, to the
'no small dismay of •thc preacher, and amusement of his titter-

ASSIZES OF THE DRTMENT OF THE
SEINE.
THE DUKE DE BROGLIE AGAINST M. SARRANS, EDITOR OF TILE
NOUVELLE MINERVE, AND COLONEL LATAPIE.
This trial has coma_lenced first ; those against tha Quo-
tidienne and other journals having been made to give way
t, it. M. Sarrans having declared himself a man of letters,
and forty years of age, Colonel Latapie, summoned in his
turn, did not answer, but his attorney presented himself as
his substitute. Here the Counsel of M. Sarrans objected
to the trial proceeding in the absence of LAtapie, who was
the originator and author of the assertion nor' inculpated.
Latapie having pleaded illness, it was shown that he was in
no ;:-ise indisposed. The CGurt decided that Latapie could
not be formed to appear, and conedlet judgment go against
fhe pleased. AcC9r.ding-ly the trial pro-
him par defaut, i
to the article in
ceeded. M. Sarrahs being questioner
the Nouvelle Minerve, asserting that ti:e articles in the
were commu-
Journal des Debats, on the war in Spain,
cated by the Foreign Office, admitted his beirh; the author
of t. The Ministerial journal having hied this
twicehem , the following letter from Latapie was sent by .Sarrans
to the Courrier Francais.
Mr. Editor—AL unpardonable abuse of confidence has
disclosed to you circumstances destined, to remain secretd
I must deplore the cruel position in which I am place
by no fault of mine—but the dignity of my character
being cailKl in question, I am compelled to state that
the contradiction given to you in the Journal de Paris is
unfounded.
" LATAPIE."
4" Paris, Oct. 20.
M. Sar,lans being asketi if he accepted the responsibility
of this letter, ;,.? replied that h' could only answer for M.
Latapie's having male such and suCY.assertions, and not for
explained the cir-
the truth of such asseltions. He the:.‘l
cumstances of the letter. The first assertitPt about Latapie
had been made on the faith of five or six resi,'ectable per-
sons, who had heard Latapie repeat it. When it was con-
tradicted, M. Sarrans, in company with those pesons,
sought out Latapie, found him in the rue Rivoli, and sum-
moned him to support the veracity of his word. Latapie
hesitated, and owned that the statement might be erroneous
ID some respects, but he consented to re-assert the princi-
pal charges. i.ccordingly the party adjourned to a Ca-
binet Litteraire ; where one of the gentlemen, M. Leveps,
took a pen, wrote the above letter, showing it, sentence by
sentence, to Colonel Latacie, who afterwards read it over ;
and after reflecting upon it fo:- half an hour, signed it, and
gave it to M. Sarrans, who publised it.
The President of the Court here read a declaration
that Latapie made on Thursday last befo:a! the Procureur
du Roi, to the purport that -he was pressed and terrified
into signing the above letter, which he expected not to see
published.
M. Sarrans invoked the testimony of all gentlemen pro-
sent, that Latapie having asked him to insert the letter
merely in some corner of a -journal where it would not be
hoticed, was answered, that the letter should be sent to the
Counier Francais.
The f,:ocureur-General then demanded of Sarrans if he
persisted in st'pporting the facts which he had announced
on the faith of Latapie's assertions.
M. Sarrans replied; that he would express no opinion
whatever as to the facts being true or untrue.
Several witnesses were th.?n examined, all of whom de-
posed that Latapie had boasted, and repeatedat be, that

th
seen M. de Broglie ; that when asked to suort by a
letter what he had previously said, he had objected, saying,
that he was at the mercy of the Government, that he
would be imprisoned in consequence, or sent out of France.
But M. Sarrans threatening to publish the whole facts of
the case, Latapie, rather than suffer this, signed the letter.
Latapie, it appeared in the evidence, bad been a Colonel
in the Russian campaign, had received six wounds at the
battle of the Moskwa, and had been oblige.l to quit France
in 1815.
M. Chaix d'Est Ange spoke as Counsel for the Due de
Broglie, and established the veracity of that Minister be-
ond doubt, enlarging on the enormity of the defendant's
pers;:ting in calling it in question on such testimony. The

Cabinet of having deserted the i.nterests of the Government
established at Madrid, to rally to those of the Pretender.
Well-founded or not, it was reporter, by all the journals
of the Opposition, as well as of Eneand. The Morn-
ing Chronicle and The Sun openly accuse the French Mi-
nister of violating the Quadruple Alliance. These re-
wrts, however, these accusations, backed by all the air
of prusbability, did not sufficiently convince me of the truth
of a star: meat, which would render the French Ministers
no better that, corsaiis, who cover their depredations with
a false flag. I withitci.:l (as editt.r) from publishing such
reports, when of a sud3en a journal, the Debats, known to
be in the intimacy of Mioistcrs, published a series of era-
cles calculated to raise the cJusb of the Pretender, and to
give to it that moral force and ert;d which it previously
wanted." Here M. Sarrans read snroe paragraphs from the

this was the duty of the press. For I pray you, geni.le-
men of the jury, to remark, that the cause of Don
Carlos is not even like that of our own Carlists. It is
brutal despotism, hypocritical theocracy, the tyranny of a
church and of a caste. It would bring back the very worst
times of absolute monarchy. Such were my thoughts, such
the temper of my mind, when I was told that a general
officer in the service of Don Carlos avowed himself the
author of the articles in the Debats, I inquired, ascer-
tained that Colonel or General Latapie bad actually made
repeated these assertions, and consequently I published

The Procureuf General and M. Chaix d'E•st Ange replied.
'The Jury retired .`.n. ten minutes, and found both MM.
Sarrans and Latapie B:tilty of defaming the Minister for
Foreign Affairs.
The Court condemned 11c. Sarrans to fifteen days' im-
prisonment and 2,000 francs, or t>9l.; fine ;and Latapie
loss to the
same fine, and to two months' impriaoOment, a of
civil rights for that period.
A warrant is said to have blen issued against Latapie on

ground.

Some of the managers of the joint-stunk hanks in ,
Lancashire have lately visited London on the subject of
their differences with the Bank of England, and with the
view, probably, of ascertaining whether any mode could be
devised of bringing about an amicable adjustment. The
breach proves, hmvever, to be much wider than is generally
imagined, and a struggle is shortly to be looked for between
these rival competitors for the supply of the manufacturing
districts with paper, for the consequences of which th©
monied and trading interests will do well to be prepared.
What step it may be in the powor of the joint-stock banks •
to take to counteract its effects is :natter of very ansies

They
talk of an appeal to Parliament in the next Sessicn, to set
forth their claim to a chartered bank in their own Jistrict,
now not inferior to. the metropolis in wealth and tr3ding
importance, instead of being made dependent on the 'ding
of England for a supply, and that, too,
liable constantly
to be withheld at the caprice of the Directors. With re-
gard to the privilege of issuing their own no,t.es, they

not appear to insist non that absolutely and in z.ny
but would be willing, on the condition of being su9Plied
with Bank of England notes to any extent they might re,
quire, and at a rate somewhat below the current value el
money, to withdraw it altogether. This supply they would
expect on no pretext whatever to be stopped. It is clear,
however, to any man who has a knowleage of the subject,
that the Bank, however desirous of exten3ing their own
issues, can never agree to any such proposition. Some of
the joint-stock banks, as a measure of hostility, even talk of
employing their additional capital in drawing out gold from the
Bank of England, and building upon it a more extensive
cir-
culation of their own notes, unless some terms are entered
into, and the objections to their indorsements abandoned.
This is a question of paramount importance to the monied
interest, and it must force itself, more or less, in the course
of the next six months, upon the attention of
the public.
THE HOLBEACU DELINQUENT.--A Court of
Inquiry was held at Wainfleet, on Thursday,to discover the
extent of the; embezzlements of the Steward of Bethlehem
Hospital estates, who recently fled from Holbeach, Lin-
colnshire. It was reparted that they amounted to 20,000/,
exclusive of several forgeries.
