the French people an atonement and compensation for
the perfidy of the French Government. " With that
people,- our contemporary is proud to say, " we have
formed a true alliance—not indeed sicmcd by a

Talleyrand, but written in our hearts." There
is no accounting for tastes, but, in our 'judgment,
there would he very little to be proud of in such ain al-
liance, supposing that we had ever formed it, since,
after all that is past, we fear that we could scarcely
acquit ourselves of the charge of having fulfilled its
obligations very indifferently. What is certain is,
that the French people have recently been deprived, by
forcc of arms, of many, not only of the civil and poli-
tical privileges for sake of which they " substituted the
Orleans for the Bourbon dynasty," but of those which
they securely enjoyed prior to that substitution ; that,
in attempting to defend or to regain those privileges,
they have been mowed down in masses by cannon shot ;
thrown into dungeons by hundreds, where they have
been permitted to languish and expire in misery and
despair ; deprived, in the case of political prosecutions,
of the advantage of a trial having the least appearance
or pretence of fairness ; subjected to the insulting
mockery of packed tribunals, instituted for the express
purpose of securing such a decision of their se-
veral cases as would be most agreeable to their
oppressors ; denied the uses of the press, unless
under the most galling and humiliating restrictions :
erased, to sum up all in a word, with every circum-
stance of contumely and barbarity, from the catalogue
of European freemen. All this happened to the people
with whom our contemporary is " proud" to say we
had previously formed " a true alliance—not, indeed,
signed by Talleyrand, but written in our hearts ;" and
has happened without an effort, without even a remon-
strance for its prevention, on the part of the British
Government or people, other than those expressions
of disgust which have flowed from the lips of some
Conservative senators, and from the pens of some
Conservative journalist?. Our contemporary may be
proud of this alliance, but he can scarcely pretend that
the French people have any great reason to it of
extraordinary value. " Written in our hearts," truly !
The hearts of Englishmen, we imagined, were firm
and sound enough to retain the characters once fairly
impressed there. But this alliance, this " true alli-
ance," if ever written at all, must have have been writ-
ten by the finger of some English Talleyrand on a
tablet of sand.—Morning Post.

THE REGISTRATIONS.

LAMBETH.

Yesterday V. KNOX and C. B. LENNARD, Esqrs., sat
at the Horns' Tavern, Kennington, to finish the revision of
the registration of the above borough.
The whole list being gone through, the Court adjourned
to this day, to settle several undecided claims. The ob-
jections were all made by the overseers, 88 in number, and
there were 136 new claims. The larger number were ad-
mitted.

KENT (WEST).
SIR JOHN BANKS'S CHARITY.

John Dann, one of the inmates of the almshouses of Sir
John Banks's charity in Faith-street, Maidstone, claimed to
be placed on the registry in right of a freehold interest in
one of the almshouses. .

Mr. BROCKMAN, after hearing the evidence, said--You
have not made out your claim ; you claim for a freehold
house. You do not pretend to contend that an appointment
for life, during good behaviour, is equal to a freehold estate.
The names of three other claimants under the same cha-
rity were also struck out.

SOUTHERN DIVISION.—Most of our readers are aware of
an important decision having taken place in this Court, re-
lative to the omission of the particular street or local resi-
dence of upwards of fifty well qualified voters, who claim to
be put upon the register. To our great surprise, as well
as that of even our political antagonists, a decision was pro-
nounced by the Barristers on Monday lasi, which demo-
lished, by one fell swoop, the franchise of the electors in
question, whose right to the possession of it was undoubted,
and who had repeatedly voted from the same qualifications
on former occasions. Such a result common sense forbade
us for a moment to anticipate.
The following is the result :—Conservative claims ob-
jected to by the Liberals, 557 ; expunged, 83 , retained,
404. Liberal claims objected to by the Conservatives, 237 ;
expunged, 136 ; retained, 101.

NORTHAMPTON.
General result of the borough registration :—Conserva-
tive claims, 38 ; allowed, 24 ; disallowed, 14. Liberal
claims, 69 ; allowed, 48 ; disallowed, 21. Conservative
objections, 93 ; sustained, 47 ; failed, 46. Liberal objec-
tions, 104 ; sustained, 21 ; failed, 83.

INSOLVENT COURT.—MoNDAy.

IN THE MATTER OT SAMUEL DAVID RAPSON.

This insolvent, who had been a gunner in the navy, was
discharged on his petition before the Chief Commissioner in
July last. He was then opposed on the part of Mr. Smart,
a Navy Agent of Devonport, for an apportionment of his
pay. Ile stated on the occasion that he had been dismissed
the service, and no order was made.

Mr. COOKE now applied on the part of Mr. Smart, on an
affidavit, in which he stated that the insolvent had been re-
stored to his situation in the Government vessel the Eclipse,.
at a salary of 601. a year.
The Learned ComNrssioNEtt said the insolvent only
owed 1021., of which sum 401. was due to Mr. Smart. He
granted a rule nisi on the insolvent.

IN THE MATTER OF RENTON NICHOLSON.
The insolvent, a sporting character, had been dis-barged
under the Act. Ile again applied within five years, and his
case was adjourned for him to obtain the consents of three
fourths of his creditors as he could not show that his insol-
vency had arisen from misfortunes. _ .

Nfr. COOKE to-day moved for an order for hearing on
the ground that the insolvent had obtained the required
consents.

The COURT granted the application, ordering ten days'
notice to be given to certain creditors before the next exa-

mination.

Several other motions were made, and the Court rose till
Monday, November 2. It will then sit for a few days, and
again adjourn.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HATTON-GARDEN.

John Kelly, a neglected, dirty-looking personage, was
brought up, charged by Mrs. Ann Pellar, a dashing-look-
ing female, about 35 years of age, with having created a
disturbance about her house at one o'clock yesterday
morning.

The-complainant knew the prisoner at the bar a few
years ago, when he was a different sort of crectur. He
was then sober, clean, and industrious, but all at vunce he
tuk to drinking raw licker, and had given his mind to
drinking, and he lost his sitiation at the fee-atre, vare he vas
engaged.

Mr. LAING—What is he ? Complainant—He is in the
musical line. On Sunday morning he came to her house in
Francis-street, Somers-town, and knocked at the door, and
on her going down stairs he made such a disturbance that
he collected a mob.

Mr. LAING—How many persons were assembled ?
Complainant—Three, your Vorship.—(Laughter.)
Mr. LAING—OnIy three ! (To the prisoner.) Well,
what have you to say? Prisoner (sighing)-oh, your Wor-
ship, I have been cruelly treated. I only went there to see
my child, which she keeps from me.

Mr. LAING—Your Child ? What child ? Prisoner—
My own child which I had by her ; but she denies it.
Mr. LAING (to complainant)—Are you married ? Com-
plainant—Yes, Sir, and I have got three children ; but he
wants to father one of them, and I declare to you that they
all belong to my husband.--(Laughter.)
Mr. LING—Did he ever pay his addresses to you ?
Complainant (hanging down her head)—Yes, he certainly
did, and I would have married him had it not been for his
perpensity. .

Mr. LklNG—Did you ever live together ? Complainant

—Oh, yes, Sir. w
Mr. LAING—How long before your marriage ? Com-
plainant—Only twelve months ; but I assure you it is not
his child.--( Laughter. )
Prisoner—lt is my child, but she don't like to confess it,
and I will see it.

Complainant (spitefully)—But you shan't though.
A policeman here stated that when he took the prisoner
into custody he assaulted him violently. He received in-
formation that he was lurking about the complainant's
house, with a view to murder her, he having threatened to
do so.

Mr. LAING would not entertain her charge, but fined
the prisoner 20s. for the assault on the constable.

QUEEN SQUARE.

Yesterday John Bilford, a young man, about twenty
years of age, was brought up in custody before Messrs.
WHITE and BURRELL, the sitting Magistrates, charged
with a burglary under very audacious circumstances.
Mr. John Sumner, baker, of No. 35, Gray's Inn-lane,
stated that about half-past one o'clock that morning he was
alarmed from his sleep by his wife, who said that some
thieves had broken into the house. Witness immediately
got up, and having procured a light, he found that an en-
trance had been effected into the house by the back-parlour
window, the shutters being burst open and the sashes
broken ; the whole of the doors were left open. A quan-
tity of property was taken away, consisting of wearing
apparel and other articles. Witness immediately gave in-
formation of the robbery to the police, and between three
and four o'clopk the prisoner was brought to his house, the
property stolen being in possession of the policeman.
In answer to questions from the Magistrates, the prose-
cutor stated that the prisoner reached the back parlour
window by getting over a wall from Pinner's-court.
The police having intimated to the Bench that there were
other charges forthcoming against the prisoner, he was re-
manded for further examination until Thursday next.
Charles Nicholls and John Maynard were charged with
violently assaulting William Fowle, constable of police,
division L, No. 47. •
The statement of the complainant being. borne out by
witnesses, the defendants were severally fined in the penalty
of 40s. and costs, in default of paying which to be impri-
soned a month.

Richard Williams alias Cozily, a young man who is known
about Lambeth as the pedestrian, was brought up in cus-
tody, charged with entering the dwelling-house of a widow
woman, named Eaton, residing in Lambeth-walk.
As other charges are expected against the prisoner, who
is a bad clmracter, he was remanded for further examination.
