But Queen Pomare would do wisely in submitting to the
evil circumstances which her own fears, and the intrigues
of some rf her corrupt chiefs, have brought upon her.
Resistance to those who have assumed the rights of pro-
tectors over her, would but aggravate the miseries ot•
her position, and provoke even worse treatment than she
has already received.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY).

THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY V. THE 13111311NG.

The accounts from Madrid are to the 18th. Ac-
cording to one of the Government journals, the
Castellano, reports of a marriage between the QUEEN
and the eldest son of Don CARLOS were current in
the capital, and generally believed. Her MAJESTY,
it was expected, would set out for Catalonia about
the beginning of May. It is said she is suffering
under a scrofulous complaint, and that her medical
attendants have recommended the use of sulphurous
waters. On the 18th her MAJESTY, accompanied by
her mother and sister, assisted at a solemn Te Deumt
which the Knights of the Military Order of Alcantara
caused to be sung in the Church of the Holy Sacra-
ment in honour of the return of the QUEEN MOTHER.

His HONOUR, though he did not pronounce judgment on
the whole case, made some comments on the arguments used

would read the papers in the case before he pronounced
judgment. • .

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY).
(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
IN RE WALKER.
Mr. WORTLEY applied to the Court fora rule to show cause
why an attorney of this Court, Thomas Walker, should nut
be struck off the Rolls. He had been an attorney of this
Court since the year 1836. At the late assizes for the county
of York, he had pleaded guilty to an indictment charging
him with the forgery of an "interim order" of protection
under the Bankruptcy Act, and had been sentenced to 18
months' imprisonment by Mr. Baron Rolfe. This sentence
Walker was now undergoing.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—Take a rule to show cause.
The Cou* rose shortly after eleven o'clock.

The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with debates
in the two Chambers on education and improvement
of prison discipline. The speakers in general display
much statistical knowledge on these important sub-
jects, but, as the matters at issue are almost entirely
exempt from the influence of political prejudices and
popular excitement, the speeches excite little interest.
On Tuesday Baron CHARLES DUPIN made a speech
in favour of the Government Bill on Education, de-
fended with much ability the course adopted by the
University, and showed that the outcry raised againit
it by the Church was entirely unfounded. " There
v‘ere," said he, " four sources from which instruction
might be obtained—the Royal colleges, the Communal
colleges, private schools, and establishments where
young men were prepared for the priesthood. The
Royal colleges °lily contained 18,700 pupils, com-
prising amongst them 2,200 free pupils—certainly not
too many for a population of 34,000,000 souls. The
number formed in the three other kinds of establish-
ments amounted to upwards of 50,000: And yet, in
the face of those figures, the University was accused
of monopoly ? In 1789, the number of pupils who
received whole bourses or partial aid from the State
was not less than 40,000, and at present the whole of
the pupils receiving bourses or half-bourses were not
more than 7,000. This difference undoubtedly did
honour to the former period, and showed that all Wil3
not to be rejected in the ancient regime. In the
present day, there were 43 departments with Royal
colleges, and just as many without any ; so that,
whilst accusations were made against the University
for its grasping spirit, half the kingdom could
not by any possibility be under its influence."
In the Chamber of Deputies M. CARNOT opposed
the Prison Bill, because he looked upon the confine-
ment of priscners not so much in the light of punish-
ment as a means of reformation ; the silent system
would not effect that, and it had, in fact, been abati-
doned in several countries. M. Di BEAUMONT,
though supporting the principle of the Bill, was op-
posed to absolute isolation. It had been tried in
only one prison in America, and had not succeeded.
The Bill only isolated prisoners from all vicious con.
tact, and there was nothing to prevent their receiving
religious instruction whilst so confined. Looking to

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.
(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Baron GURNEY.)
TURNER V. TURNER.

Mr. Cockburn (with whom was Mr. Saunders) appeared
for the plaintiff ; Mr. Whateley conducted the case fOr the
defendant.

This action was brought by the plaintiff (who sued in
forma pauperis) against the defendant, his daughter-in-law
and a widow, toirecover the possession of household furni-
ture, of the estimated value of 100/. The plaintiff was for-
merly a pianoforte maker, in the service of Messrs. Stodart,
of Golden-square, but having met with an accident of a se-
rious character, which compelled him to relinquish his em-
ployment, which he has subsequently been unable to follow,
an annuity of 101. per annum was allo wed him by his
late employers. One of his sons married the do fendant in
1833, and the plaintiff, being desirous of enjoying domestic
quietude, deposited a quantity of furniture in his son's house,
and resided with him and his wife up to 1838, when ill-health
-compelled him to leave London for Northumberland, where
he is at present residing. His son died in May. 1841.
Witnesses, relations of the plaintiff; were called to prove the
plaintiff's right to the furniture. One, the plaintiff's brother,
stated that the defendant offered to marry him about three
months after her husband's death ; but, on being sharply
cross-examined, he admitted that he was first guilty of the
" soft impeachment," but that the defendant declined to become
his spouse ; but subsequently she said, " Why don't ou
marry me," but his passion having on the former occasion
led him to make a rash and inconsiderate vow, he refused.
Mr. WHATELEY read several letters from the plaintiff to
the defendant, applying for small remittances of money, but
never offering any claim to the furniture, which it was only
reasonable to suppose he would have claimed when in such
distressed circumstances as appeared from his letters. The
Learned Counsel then adverted to the bringing of the action
by the plaintiff in forma pauperis, which, whether the jury
returned a verdict for him or the defendant, was, so far as the
expense of the action was concerned, a matter of indifference,
as in either case the defendant would have to pay the costs.
It was further contended that the furniture was given to the
defendant's husband at his marriage.
Mr. COCKBURN replied at some length, and ably argued the
plaintiff's right to the furniture.

- The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence, and the jury
returned a verdict fur the defendant.

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Sarah Bennett, a respectable looking young woman, was
charged with attempting to drown herself in the Thames.
Policeman 95 M stated that while on duty that morning at
two o'clock, at Bankside, he saw the defendant, who was
walking close by the brink of the river. She was crying, and
when he asked her what was the matter with her, she replied
that she was in great trouble of mind, that she had spent
some money which was not her own, and that she
was afraid to go home. She then suddenly ran a
short distance and divesting herself of her bonnet
and shawl, was about to throw herself into the
river, when the policeman ran up and took her to the
station-house. When at the station-house she said that she
lived with her mother, in Plough-court, Holborn, who was
the owner of some small tenements in that locality, and that,
having expended some of her money without her sanction,
she was afraid to at= home.

the question of mortality, the Hon. Deputy main-
tained that the prisoners held apart afforded fewer in-
stances of death than others. In the prisons of France
the mortality, from 1839 to 1843, had been eight per
cent., and in the prison of Fontevraud it had reached

12 per cent., whilst in the penitentiary of Pennsyl-
vania, where the solitary sfstem was adopted, the
deaths were only two per cent. He .next alluded to
the alleged cases of madness caused by solitary con-
finement, and declared that thee was much exagge.
ration in what had been alleged. The debate was
adjourned. At the same sitting M. DUCHATEL, the
Minister of the Interior, moved a vote of credit for
506,000 f., for the establishment of a new telegraphic
line between Paris and Havre, and Boulogne and
Avranches, so as to open with the capital a correspon-
dence with the entire coast of the Channel. The line
will also communicate with Brest by Avranches.

Mr. TRAILL said that he must have some person to be an-
swerable that the defendant would not repeat the attempt,
and she was, therefore, locked up until some of her friends
were apprised of her situation.

" The Debuts states, from its Constantinople correspond-
ence, that the Porte has at last taken measures for sending
troops against the Albanians, who continue to commit the
greatest excesses in the provinces. A thousand men have
been marched from Salonica to Uranse, and two regiments
have taken their departure from Constantinople. At Uscup,
the Turkish Governor has seized fourteen of the rebels, and
had their heads taken off in the public streets. The child
which was detained a short time ago in the harem of a Bey
at Constantinople, and forcibly made a Mahornedan, has been
delivered up to Sir Stratford Canning; and one of the Greek
girls whom the Turks of Broussa constrained to abjure her
religion, has been restored to the Patriarch. These reparations
are the first fruits of the energetic reclamations of the repre-
sentatives of France and England."

Since Monday only a moderate arrival of English Wheat
has taken place up to our market. Fine qualities mostly
found buyers, at full prices, but in other kinds very little was
doing. Foreign Wheats, both free and in bond, met a very
dull inquiry, at barely late rates. Nearly the whole of the
late arrivals of Foreign Barley have been taken by the dis-
tillers, at a decline of Is. per quarter. The Malt trade was
steady, at•full currencies. Oats were quite as dear, owing to
the small supplies. Beans, Peas; and Flour as on Monday.

Report of Captain W. Robinson, of the barque
Columbine, of Glasgow, arrivad off Falmouth from Aux
Cayes :—Sailed from Aux Cayes on the 2d of March, at
which time all there was quiet. Had strong north winds
till the 4th, with a lee current ; came through the Cazeos
Passage on the 15th. On the 2d of April, at three r.m.,
being in lat. 35 25, long. 49 10, my attention was called
to the water being discoloured to windward; it had a
brown appearance, extending above 100 feet in a S.S.E.
direction, and about 30 feet across. It had all the appear-
ance of a rock under water. We were then a little mere
than the length of the vessel north of it, steering E.N.E.
Immediately on the weather bow two more brown spots
were seen close to each other, about 150 fathoms or more
east of the one we were abreast of, the first lying in the
same direction, and about the same size; the second or
easternmost one of an oval shape, about 60 or 80 feet
across, and appeared to be nearer the surface of the water
than the other two. We had a light breeze from S.E.,
the water smooth, and a cloudless sky ; but there was a
swell from N.N. The sea did not break over them ; but
the discoloured water was seen on the last-mentioned one
nearly a mile off.

BOROUGH HOP IMILEZZT.
Although there has been rather mot e business doing in this
market since our last report, not the slightest alteration has
taken place in the value of any kind of hops.
COLONIAL.
SUGAR.—British Plantation has been well supported this
week, and the accounts from the colonies read unfavourably.
The private sales have been 1,000 hhds, and the quotations
are 60s Gd to 63s for low yellow, 63s Gd to 64s 6d for mid, and
60s to 62s for brown; 160 hhds St. Kitts sold at Gla to 63s
for grey.

for any descriptions. In British Plantation 20 brls 88 bags
unclean Demerara were put up by auction, but were all
taken in, and 12 brls Jamaica realised 60s. We quote good
and fine mid 148 s to 150 s, and good ord 70s to 7ls. The

dently, and is estimated at less than 300 chests, which, with
1,191 withdrawn, including 688 of the new crop, just arrived,
but not in time to be properly inspected, leaves about 5,100
chests actually sold, at prices, as compared with the January

Accounts have been received to the 26th of February,
from the Cape of Good Hope. There had been some inter.
esting debates in the Legislature respecting an accession of
labour, and the superiority of European over native
or negro services, was strongly contended for by the
leading members. The following is from a com-
munication, dated Colesburg, in the new settlement
of Natal :—" This little village was thrown into consi-
derable excitement, from a report having been spread
that the emigrant farmers were on the road to Philippolis, to
attack Adam Kok, in consequence of his having apprehended
and surrendered up to the colonial authorities Hermanus Van
Staader, who murdered George Mills, a British trader in the
chief's territory, and but a few miles from Philippolis, and
who, it was said, saw the emigrants in large numbers pro-
ceeding to Philippolis, and the clouds of dust occasioned by
their movement; and shortly after leaving Philippolis, heard
the report of guns in that direction ; that this individual had
gone:to Philippolis to warn the Griquas of their danger, and
then rode off for Colesburg. The Civil Commissioner, it is
said, immediately communicated with the commanding
officer of the 91st Regiment to be in readiness, should their
services be required ; and it was thought they
would have marched early the following morning
to the Orange River, the boundary of the colony,
to prevent any inroad the emigrants might at-
tempt. However, no report from the chief was received by
the Civil Commissioner—consequently it would have been
extremely absurd to make such a demonstration upon the
mere vague report of an individual, unauthenticated by any
other evidence. The Civil Commissioner sent an express to
Philippolis to hear the result of the attack ; but I believe re-
ceived for answer that it had not taken place, but he had
heard that some farmers at Modder River (about 200 miles
off) were said to be preparing."
The farmers of the Bechuana country had given in their
submission to the Government. As the number of the native
tribes in the Natal settlement is very large, it is stated that
some steps will be necessary for their protection against the
increasing immigration, and as food is scarce, they must be
early taught methods of cultivation.
We have had some rather important arrivals of provisions
from Australia within the last week or two, chiefly consisting
of mutton-hams, tongues, &c., and it is considered some •
what strange that so little is heard of these. articles by the
general consumers, that, up to the present time, the sugges-
tion thrown out by many influential free traders, for the es-
tablishment of shops to retail foreign provisions exclusively,
since the regular dealers seem disinclined to enter into the
trade, should not have been yet carried ont.
The Stock Market is rather flat to-day, and Consols have
receded to 993 to 998, both for Money and Account. The
Commissioners have made their purchase at 993. The un-
funded debt is supported at the advanced premium of 755. to
775. East India Bonds are 925. premium. Bank Stock re-
alises 1963, and India Stock 289*. The New Three. and-a-
Half per Cents. have been 1033 to 1023, the Reduced 1021 to
102, and the Three per Cents. 993 to 983.
There have been sales making in Spanish Three per
Cent. Stock, which, acting upon a passive market, have led
to a decline in prices to 36* and 364 3, so that the advance
of yesterday, which had, in fact, no sound basis, has been
lost. The Five per Cents. have been 253 to French
Three per Cents. are 84, and Belgian 1044 to fr, being steady.
Mexican Stock is rather flat at 354. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. have been firm at 60-1. to 61, and the Five per
Cents. are 1004 to 4, the conversion plan being looked upon
as favourable.

The Railway Shares in general are firm. Birmingham
and Gloucester have improved to 7i to 6i discount ;. Bristol
and Exeter to 4 and 5 premium ; Great Western to 38 ; and
Birmingham to 129 i premium. The French lines continue
rather in favour of the buyers. Brighton are steady. Man-
chester and Birmingham are again higher, and Croydon are
firm.
