THE FRENUI-1 REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and of yesterday. •
The Committee on the Bill for the increase of the
PRESIDENT'S allowance has recommended the rejection
of the Bill as propoied, and the adoption of the fol-
lowing resolution
",An extraordinary credit of sixteen hundred thousand
francs is opened at the Ministry of Finances for the
expenses which have been incurred in 1849 and 1850, in
consequence of the installation cf the Presid«nt of the
li.epublic. The expenses sr ill be charged one-half to the
account of 1849,- and one-half to 1850."

The Ministers.have refused to accept this proposi-
tion, and should the Assembly confirm the resolution
of the Committers they will resign. The resolution
was agrted to by 9to G. The Committee appointed
M. FLANDIN reporter, both M. ()BETON and M. DE
MORNAY havingrefused to accept that office.

The Journal des Debats announces that, on hear-
ing of the settlement of the Greek affair by Mr.
`NYSE, Baron Baum;low protested against that ar-
rangement, and that the Emperor of RUSSIA has con-
firmed that protest.
M. Tut Ells, returned to Paris on Friday, and en
the same day MM. GUIZOT, BE BROGLIE, Du-.
CIIATEL, and :DIMON, left Paris fur London and St.
Leonard's.

The. following is the final state of the poll for the
department of the Lower Rhine:—
M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN ... ... 37,566
M. 141DLL R ••• ... ••• 29,538
M. LECIITENBERGER 13,057
The Journal des Debats declares that there is no
truth whatever in the statement that LOUIS PHILLIPE
is about to publish a political testament acknowledg-
ing the right of Fletyrti V. This contradiction was
scarcely needed, it is utterly impossible that any of
those who were concerned either directly or indirectly
in the publication in 1830 of the protest alleged to
have been made in England at the time of the birth
of the Due DE BOUIIDEAUX, against his supposed
rights to the throne of France, or who were directly
or ii.directly parties to the shameful exposure
of BLAME, can now come forward and give the lie
direct to their own former proceedings in the shameless
manner which any acknowledgment of the rights
of IlEsini V. on their part would necessarily involve.
The Duchess of ORLEANS, acting, it is said, under
the advice of N. ODILON BARROT, refuses to be any
party to the proposed reconciliation with the elder
branch. Her supporters are in favcur of " a Con-
servative Republic" until the Comte DE PARIS shall
become of age.
The only question relative to Greek affairs remain-
ing to be settled between England and France is as to
any demand that may be made. by Greeks for the
seizure of their vessels. England demands a guaran-
tee against such claims, which guarantee is refused by'
France.

Letters from Macon mention that M. LAMARTINE
was stepped there, on his journey to the east, by an
attack of illness, which now confines him to his bed.

CQ3IPANY.

This was an. scion to recover damages for injuries
sustained by the plaintiff, a greengrocer, from en acci-
dent which ()centred on the 29th November, 1848. It
appeared tb:lt cu that day the plaintiff was passing un-
der an arch of the Blackmail Railway Company, when
he was struck on the back by a railway sleeper weigh-
ing about 42 lbs., which fell from the arch, and injured
him so seriously that he was disabled from pursuing
his vocation for a considerade period. Ile had been
long under the care of a surgeon, and never having com-
pletely recovered from the effects of the blow, was now
an out-patient of the L-ndon Hospital. •
These facts having been given in evidence on the part
of the plaintiff, who was represented by Mr. Edwin
James, Q.C.,
Mr. tiergeent WIT HISS (with wham was Mr. Phip-
son), on the part (.f t tlefzudsnt, submitted that the
sent of 301.. which had been paid into Court, was a
sufficient compensation for the injuries which the
plaintiff had received.
Lord CAMPFEIL, in summing up, h ft it fur the jury
to any whether or not 301. was a sufficient compensa-
tion to the plaintiff for thr injury inflicteel on him.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.—Da-
magus 701. over and above the 304 paid into court.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

On Saturday La Tempesta was repeated for the fourth
time, and the crowds asseratded outside the doors await-
ing the opening; was even greater than on the three
former occasion*. The crush was terrific, and the house
was crammed to suffocation within ten minutes after the
doors were opened. The Celiban of Lablache, tfe Mi-
rands of Madame Sontag, and the Ariel of Carlotta
Grisi, are three perfect marvels of acting ; of
the Caliban of Lablache, we repeat what we said
on the first production of,;the opera—it is far and away
the most original and most perfect histrionic perform-
ance ever presented on any stage. The. spirited Brin-
disi in the second act creates every night an increasing
furore, thanks to the buoyant spirit of reckless gaiety
Mademeiselie Patodi infuses ieto it, and to her admi-
rable manner of rendering the music. There never has
been a dramatic work presented to the public so com-
pletely free from what " Christopher North" was wont
to call ." Balsam" as La Tempega. From the com-
mencement to the conclusion the interest never flags.,
the ear is never tired, the attention never wearied. It is
perhaps, the best libretto that has ever been produced,
and never has libretto been set to music more dramati-
cally than has that of La Tonpesta. It is certainly
the chef d'auvre of llalevy, and is alone sufficient to
:secure him an immortality.

Miss Macgregor, a lady residing in Welbeck-street,
against the defendant, to recover damages for unlawfully
breaking and entering her house.
Mr. Sergeant Wilkins was counsel for the plaintiff, and
the defendant was represented by Slr.
Whateley an
Sir John Bayley.
It appeared that in April, 1849 , two
.persons named
Wales and Wells brought an action against the plaintiff
in the Bloomsbury County Court, and recovered a ver-
dict for 191. 193. 6d. debt and costs. On the 17th of
that month the officers of the court went to the plain-
tiff's residence to enter an execution for that sum, but
w e unable to effect an entrance through the door.
They returned in the evening, after the doors and win-
dows of the house had been bolted and barred, and
afi.er having ineffectually attempted to enter by the front
door, proceeded to break open the window and window-
shutters, and so got into the house through the window.
The window-shutter was driven in, and a large vase
which stood inside the window was broken by the party
who bad thus violently effected an entrance into the
house. It was for this alleged trespass and damage that
the plaintiff now sought to recover damages.
Mr. WHATELEY, for the defence, ventured to say that
this was not the plaintiff's action, but had been got up
by other parties for their own gain. He (Mr. Wbateley)
admitted that the defendant was personally liable tor
any illegal act that might have been done in this case ;
but the defendant did not appear ever to have been cog-
nizant of the circumstances; in fact, he knew nothing
at all about the matter. He was entirely innocent, and
it would be a question for the jury to consider
whether the plaintiff had sustained any damage at his
hands. The plaintiff owed the money in question ; she
did not pay it; an execution was entered against her
goods, and the officers of the court were bound to exe-
cute their process. The questions for the jury were—
whether the front door of the plaintiff's house was open?
did the bailiff get in. and was he thrust out atter he bad
been in? Because, if that was true, there was no question
that if an officer of the law once fairly got into a house,
the door being open, and was thrust out again, he might
go in by any means he pleased afterwards.
Witnesses were called on the part of the defendant,
who proved that the officers had partly, in the first in-
stance, effected an entrance into the house, bat were
thrust out again. ; and then it was that they proceeded
to break into the house through the window.
Lord:CAmesELL summed up, and
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Da-
mages 401.

there, and he moved that the standing orders be enforced
by the etileere of tint House,—(Loud laughter, particu-
larly in the gallerieF.) He did not move this discourteously,
becalm, he had given ample notice to the gentleman that
if he did not leave that gallery he wculd have him turned
out.—(Loud and long continued laughter and great con-
fusion. After the !apse of a few minutes, the gentleman
a►luded to lift the gullery, accompanied by a party of

The Chamber of the States of Erfurth finished, on
the 22d, their deliberations on the CJnstitution. On
all the main points they are in accordance with the
People's Chamber.

The German Gazette says that it was not until the
18th that the meeting took place between M. USE-
DOM and the Danish Plenipotentiary, Baron PAULEN,
at which the former communicated the ultimatum f)r
the negotiations for peace. Prussia, resting on the
mandate of the central federal commission, desires to
make peace with Denmark, under the reservation of
the assent of the other German states. The parties
reaerve to themselves their respective rights, and
Germany particularly invokes the federal resolution
of the 17th September. The question concerning
the Duchies and their relations with Denmark is
abandoned to the Government by the Lieutenancy ;
but Prussia, acting in the name of the Confederation,
reserves to herself the ratification.

Advices from Stuttgardt of the 17th state that the
conferences of the Commissioners appointed to revise
the Constitution have not led to any result.

fact that they are not burdened with heavy stocks, while
they are aware that there is no excess of supply
abroad. And the department of o'er tna,rlr.,q finds
sup-
port also, thow,r,h indirectly, in that extensive demand
for the markets of the eas, which continua;
to take off so hrge a proportion of what we produce.
Then, the loss in which tine trade is so seriously and
increasingly involved, is at once strengthening and ex-
tending the determination to diminish the production, if
there is t) be no better altivment of price to cost; and
this determination is, we know, being qaictly carried
out by parties who have hitherto cudeavoured to avoid
taking such a step.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The flannel market continues
very quiet, and the merchants show no disposition to
operate. There is little or no change in wool since last
Monday, either in price or demand. The time when
the new clip will be ready is fast approaching, end
generally induces the manufacturers to buy sparingly.
MACCLESFIELD. TUESDAY.—There has been Do
change worthy of note in our markets during the last
week. If anything, trade may be reported rath-r
quitter tan it was amongst toe manufacturers and
throwsters ; but the present fine weather, it is thought
by some, will create abetter demand shortly. The raw
silk market remains, without alteration.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There has been rather more
business done in our Piece Hall to-day; but the demand
for worsted goods is far from brisk, and prices remain
without improvement. We have no change to report
with respect to yarn and long wool. Short wool goes
off heavily; and quotations are rather easier than they
were a week or two ago.

LEEDS, TubsDaY,LThere is no change of importance
to notice in tLe cloth trade since last week. The mane.-
facturers are wal employed, and there is a good business
doing in the warehouses. Prices continue firm.
