LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 4, 1832,

The French Papers of Thursday have been
received by express. A conspiracy is said to

have been detected at the ball given by the King
of the FRENCH, in consequence of which a great
number of arrests took place. We entertain
some doubts as to the truth of this news!
or if it be true, it is not unlikely to have
originated in the same quarter as the fa-
mous Notre Dame rebellion. Besides it

does not seem very likely that conspirators would
have selected a ball-room as the most fitting
place for their machinations. That Louis
PHILIPPE is not popular with a certain portion of
those who first hailed his elevation to the throne
we know, and his late or rather continued perse-
cution of the Press is not calculated to in-
crease the number of his friends; but we do
not think that there is any party in France—
not even the Carlists, that would attempt his
life—and what other result would be aimed at
in a ball-room ?

The French Funds do not seem to have been

depressed by such an occurrence, for they rose
nearly one per cent. ; the Three per Cents. being
6.5 f. 60c.

If 3,000 French troops are to be sent to
Ancona, as reported, it must have reference to
the disturbances in Italy, and the entry of the
Austrian troops into Bologna.

If a Committee on the Glove Trade would have
led to any practical result, we should have agreed
with Mr. HUME, that Ministers should have
consented to a further investigation of the sub-
ject ; but, it being admitted by the trade, that
nothing short of a prohibition of French gloves
could be of any real service to them, (for, as re-
marked by Mr. BARING, a protection of twenty,
forty, or even fifty per cent. is considered nuga-
tory), the only question for the consideration of
a Committee could be, whether or not it would

be expedient to revert to the old system of pro-
hibition, instead of the admission of foreign
gloves at the existing duty. It is needless to ob.;
serve, that to recur now to prohibition, would be
in direct contradiction to every step that has yet
been taken to carry into effect a liberal commer-
cial policy, in pursuance of the repeated recom-
mendation of Parliamentary Committees, and
would entitle the silk-traders and others, to urge
similar claims with a similar degree of force.
Ministers could not therefore have opened the
subject for discussion, without weakening the
public confidence in their adhesion to the prin-
ciples they are so positively pledged to in regard
to trade.

The Glove Trade may well allege it is in a state
of stagnation, for unfortunately there is scarcely
a branch of our manufactures that is, at present,
otherwise than depressed. But it lies on them

to skew that this stagnation has been caused by
the importation of foreign gloves,—a conclusion
which is clearly repudiated by the statements
adduced by Mr. POULETT THOMSON, who
shewed the increase in the import of skins for the
purpose of glove-making, and pointed out the
causes of the non-existence of the smuggling of
gloves, owing to the rate of duty being less
than the cost of a smuggling insurance.
He also well illustrated the distress of the popu-
lation at Yeovil, from whence so many complaints
have proceeded, by referring to the remarkable
increase of population in that town, being, ac-
cording to the late census, more than double the
rate of increase of the county of Somerset, and
almost double the rate of increase fbr the king-
dom at large. The use of cotton gloves during
the last year is also a reason for a diminished
sale of leather ones—and when all these facts are
considered, as well as the absence of any proof
of the connection between the admission of '
foreign gloves, and the alleged distress, the argu-
ment of Colonel DAVIES appears to be reduced
to—post hoc, ergo propter hoc. The distress
is subsequent in point of time to the repeal of the
prohibition, ergo (it is argued), it is in conse-
quence of it.

We quite agree with Mr. HUME'S remark,
that the true question for consideration is, not how
far the British manufacturers are affected by the
admission of foreign gloves, but how far it is
the interest of the British consumer that they
should be admitted. From the tenor of the de-
bate it might also be inferred, that the benefit
of consumers was viewed by Parliament as a
matter of no moment, or at the least a very subor-
dinate one. The time will, it is to be hoped,
arrive, when there will be no such thing as duties
imposed for the sake of protection, but they Will
be imposed for the sole and legitimate purpose
of revenue. Every prohibitory duty, whether
upon gloves, silk, corn, or whatever other object,
is so much taken out of the pockets of the people
as much as a tax levied directly upon their win-
doves ; the only misfortune is, that the public have
not the sense to see the injury they suffer from
the system, and therefore do not cry out against
it as they would if they understood its effects.

The consumers should raise their voice against
all protective duties, and the manufacturers
should demand relief against the present burthen-
some taxation, which operates to diminish both
wages and profits to a ruinous extent. Every

complaint like that of the glove-manufacturers is I COURT OF KING'S BENCH.---(THIS DAY.)
a fresh proof of the- difficulties against which
British industry has to bear up. A revision of
the mode • of taxation, as well as the amount of
it, is a measure of the very first necessity to this
country,:and is, in truth, the only means whereby
permanent relief can be given to the very nume-
rous classes of persons upon whom distress
presses with a heavy hand. The existing stag-
nation in the Glove Trade, as well as others, has,
by the bye, we fear, been materially aggravated
by the suspension of the Reform Bill, and affords
a fresh argument for expediting its progress.

Lord PALM ERSTON last night, in answ r
to some questions by Sir R. VYVYAN, with re-
gard to the Belgian treaty, expressed strong
hopes that Russia, Austria, and Prussia would
soon send their respective ratifications. We
trust they will.

One thing is very clear, from the eagerness with
which the King of HOLLAND'S interests were
spoken of by the Hon. Baronet, that the Tories
have all along been prompting his Dutch MA-
JESTY how to practice the game of delay ; and
it has been seen that he has proved him-
self a very apt pupil. For our parts, we
think that the King of HOLLAND will never
.ratify the Belgian treaty until the Reform Bill
has passed the House of Lords. It was with re-
ference to this delay that Sir R. VYVYAN asked
whether it was the intention of the English and
French Governments, in case the King of the
NETHERLANDS acceded to the treaty, to gua-
rantee to the King of the NETHERLANDS the
execution of its articles to the same extent as
they had guaranteed them to the King of
BELGIUM ? But Lord PALMERSTON was
not to be entrapped in this manner. He
very properly refused the desired explana-
tion—so that if the King of HOLLAND
persists in holding out for the purpose of
taking advantage of the chapter of accidents,
he must take the consequences also.

A new writ for Ayrshire was moved for lase
night, in the room of THOMAS FRANCIS KEN.
NED; Esq., appointed Clerk of the Ordnance.

The following are extracts from German
Papers received this morning :
VIENNA, JAN. 21.—The Court Gazette of to-day contains the
following article :
" The dreaded epidemic has now, by God's help, nearly va-
nished from the capital city of Vienna, and in the country also,
the disorder where it has manifested itself, in a few places, seems
to have lost its virulence. But the susceptibility to infection has
greatly abated ; daily experience still shows that it attacks, from
time to time, individuals who indulge to excess in eating and
drinking, or in general do not lead regular lives. Moderation in
the enjoyments of life, and carefully guarding against raking
cold, are the best prescriptions against this destructive disorder ;
it cannot, therefore, be sufficiently impressed on people's minds,
especially at this time, when the pleasures of the Carnival so
easily lead to irregularities of all kinds; and deviations iron' the
usual habits of life, with the dangerous consequences atten-
dant on such excesses."
To-day there have been four new cases in the city ; two have
proved fatal ; there remain, therefore, two, and two others in
the suburbs ; in all four.
FROM THE FRENCH FRONTIERS, JAN. 22.—We learn
from good authority that the French Ministry, in its anxious
endeavours to deprive foreign Cabinets of all reasons for dis-
trust, refused all applications to promote by pecuniary as-
sistance the- settlement of the emigrant Polesin France, as
far as it could be done without too greatly opposing the
general voice of the people. It is said to have refused in
particular to advance the sums necessary for the conveyance of
the numerous Poles in East Prussia, who wish to follow their
officers to France. The accomplishment of this wish is the more
improbable, as any assistance that the Polish Committee or pri-
vate persons can give, however considerable, must be insufficient
for this purpose. More assistance has been given to the
officers, because they did not, like the subalterns and pri.
rates, refuse the amnesty, but were excluded frost it in
express terms, and the Government therefore thinks that by
this act of humanity it does not act contrary to policy. But even
in their case the assistance has been confined to individual cases ;
those who are still expected are to receive on their arrival in
France (but not before) 300 francs each, which, when we consider
the great number of them, may amount to a considerable sum.

CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT.

COUNCIL OFFICE,
DAILY REPO

, WHITEHALL.—(THIS DAY.)
RT of CHOLERA CASES.

MILLS v. BECK

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a tailor, to recove►
from the defendant, an attorney, the sum of 51. 9s. 6d. being the
balance of an account of clothes supplied to him, The defendant
pleaded the general issue, and the Court of Requests Act.
Mr. PLAIT conducted the case for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Casipaaci. and Mr. BUSBY for the defendant.
From the evidence of twowitness for the plaintiff, it appeared
that clothes to the amount of 71. 19s tid. were furnished by the
plaintiff to the defendant; that subsequently 3/. 10s. was paid,
leaving a balance of 41. 9s 6d., that sum and a sovereign lent the
defendant by the plaintiff made up the amount now sought to
be recovered.
In answer to the demand, it was proved by two witnesses that
an objection was made by the defendant to some of the items of
the bill; that a solicitor, named Hart (who has since been struck
off the rolls), was authorised by the plaintiff to attend the de-
fendant respecting the bill, and that after certain deductions,
one of which was two guineas for professional services rendered by
defendant to plaintiff; the bill was reduced to 41.95. which was paid.
It further appeared that since the action was commenced the
defendant met the plaintiff and said, " So you have brought an
action against me without making any application." The plaintiff
appeared astonished, declared that he had given noauthority to
any attorney to bring the action, that the plaintiff owed him
nothing, and advised him to proceed against the attorney for
acting without any authority.
His LORDSHIP having summed up the evidence, the Jury
found a verdict for the defendant.

As the parties engaged in the cause were about leaving the
Court, Mr. George Beck, the brother of the defendant, anti one
of the witnesses for the defence, who had been several times
alluded to by Mr. Platt in his reply, said something to that gen-
tleman.

Mr. PLATT immediately rose, and, addressing his Lordship,
said he felt it was due to 'the Bar and to the profession to state
that Mr. George Beck had called him a liar and no gentleman,
and added that he,
.Mr. Platt, should hear further from him.
Mr. CAMPBELL said he had explained to his client and his
brother that whatever observations Mr. Platt had made had
been made only in the course of his duty, and with a view to his
credibility ; the Jury had believed the testimony given by Mr.
George Beck, and therefore nothing need be thought of Mr.
Platt's observations.-

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE told Mr. George Beck that if
he repeated such conduct, and an application made to the Court,
he should be struck off the rolls.

Mr. G. Beck said he should be unworthy of standing upon the
rolls of this Court if he were either a liar, a cheat, or a bully, all
of which he had been designated by Mr. Platt.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—You had better let me hear
no more of this, or I will strike you (Ara once.
The subject then dropped.

KENRICK v. ANDERSON.
This was an action, brought by the plaintiff, a livery-stable-
keeper, to recover 1261. for a horse and gig sold to the defendant,
who was a hair-dresser in Finch-lane, Cornhill.
Sir J. SCARLETT and Mr. COMYN appeared for the plain-
tiff, and Mr. POLLOCK for the defendant.
From the evidence of the witnesses for the plaintiff it appeared
that in the latter end of September, 1830, the defendant, tope.
ther with • a person named. Lobb, called at the plaintiffs
stables for the purpose of seeing a pony and gig, which the
plaintiff' had advertised for sale, and after seeing them, they
agreed upon the sale of them at the price of 100/. Lobb ofibred
to give him a bill of exchange for 051., drawn at Hamburg, and
made payable on the Bank of Scotland in Edinburgh, and 51.
cash. The plaintiff wished for an opportunity of enquiring
respeating the bill, and it was agreed that the defendant
should give a written guarantee that in order to make
the necessary enquiries he would hold himself respon-
sible for the amount of the bill, or should it not be
approved of by the Sth October, the pony and gig should be
returned. The plaintiff accordingly allowed them to have the
pony and gig, and they were placed at livery at Mr. Underwood's
stables, in the city. Two or three days afterwards the defendant
and Lobb called with the pony and chaise, and wished to ex-
change the pony for a larger horse; that was done, and the dif-
ference in the price made the amount of 126/. which was now
claimed. Enquiries were made at the Bank of Scotland, when
it appeared that nothing was known there respecting the
bill for 05/., and before the Bth October it appeared that Lobb
had gone away with the horse and gig, which had never since
been seen, and the defendant was now in a debtors' prison.
Mr. POLLOCK addressed the Jury for the defence, and sub-
mitted that the guarantee entered into by his client was gone by,
and that therefore he was not Rabic,. His client had certainly
been imprudent in entering into any guarantee, for he never
derived any benefit from the transaction, the horse and gig bas-
ing been taken away by Lobb.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 1261.
