Gourgand M. Jubelin, Commissary-General of the
Marine, and Baron Joubert.
Some of the London papers within a few days pub-
lished reports that the King was in a very precarious
state of health ; but as far as we may judge from the
frequent appearance of his Majesty in public, and the
silence of the Paris papers on the subject, they appear to
be without foundation.
The Constitutionnel says—" The sole subject talked
of in a certain circle is the King's excursion to England,
to which it is wished to impart a great eclat. It is
honour
that the Minister of the Navy has claimed the
of commanding his Majesty's naval escort ; but
" M. de Mackau is a Vice-Admiral, fewer than eight
!hips of the line cannot be placed under his command.
It is hoped that they may be assembled by recalling to
the Channel the four ships with which Admiral Parseval
beschenes has just left for Tunis, the Algiers, now at
Toulon, and the Prince de Joinville's three ships, whose
presence on the coast of Morocco will perhaps soon be
no longer necessary. A certain number of light vessels
and steamers would be added to the squadron. Such is,
at least, what is said."
The Duke de Nemours arrived at Luneville in the

ness will remain at Luneville until the 12th, when he
proceeds to Metz.

AtLaneaster, Thomas Flitchon was indicted for a bur-
glary itt the house of John Bulcock, at Burnley, on the
7th of May last. It appeared from the evidence in the
cause that one Smith Hargreaves had, on a former occa-
sion, given information to the police of a burglary, and
had been a witness for the prosecution. None of the
officers examined were able to say from what source the
information of the robbtry was received on the present
occasion. It had been given to the superintendent, from
whom they received their orders. The prisoner was
found Guilty. The Lord Chief Baron observed that he
-.thought the police had much better have their eye on
Wie conduct of this Smith Hargreaves, than their ears
open to his communications.

duct, and on an attempt being made to carry the orders
