FRANCE.

The Minister of Commerce has received several
communications during the week on the subject of the
Great Exposition of London next year. The num-
ber of manufacturers whose names were inscribed at
she motel of that ilinister, as proposing to send
articles to Leaden, were, on the 15th September,
1,211, of whom 792 reside in the Department of the
Seine. They amount at present to ,411111, of whom
1,730 reside in the same department. Of the 66
departments of Prange nine only have as yet produced
nothing for the London Esposition. The Minister
has, at the request of the manufacturers, extended
the period allowed for receiving their produce in
Paris from the 31st of December to the 20th of
January.

SPAIN.

111adrid journals of the 4th have arrived.
The Spanish Senate was occupied on the 3d and
4th in discussing a proposition of General Ros
DE OLANO and others, to the effect that the Go-
vernment should not be allowed to prevent mili-
tary senators, in non-active service, from remain-
ing at Madrid. General NARVAEZ and the Minister
of War opposed the motion, and it was even-
hay f ejected. No explanations were given in the
S entice respecting the recent Ministerial crisis; the
Chamber of Deputies did not meet on the 4tb, and
would not, it was believed, re-assemble before Satur-
day. Fears were entertained that the crisis was not
yet at an end. M. Most was expected to return to
Madrid without delay, and his presence would, it
was said, strengthen the position of the Cabinet.
MADRID BOLSA, DEC. 4.—Of late the prices of the
Funds received by telegraph from Paris have helped
to depress prices here. To-clay a telegraphic dispatch
speaks of a considerable rise at Paris on the 30th ult.,
and this has assisted in promoting the reaction against
the late fall, which has been as rapid as the fall
itself. The Three per Cents. were done to-day at
34i to 4, and were buyers, 7-16 sellers after the
close ; Five per Cents., with current coupon, 124
buyers, s sellers ; Coupons, 7to 7i-; Passive Debt,
3i to 4. Exchange on London, 60 35.

GERMANY.

In its latter from Munich the Deutsche Zeitung
announces the disgrace and the impending downfall
of M. •on der Pfordten, the Bavarian Premier.
Count Bray is mentioned as the only man who has a
chance of succeeding to that unpopular Minister.
The disappointment of the King of Bavaria at the
result of the Olmutz Conference is alleged as the
tame of M. von der Pfordten's disgrace.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

William St. Clair, a journeyman gkzier, was sum-
moned before Mr. Bingham for having, by threats
and intimidation, endeavoured to force Mr. Charles
Fox. contractor, builder, &c., to make an alteration in
his more of carrying on his business.
Air. Rippon took several objections to the proceed..
ings. He contended, that by the Act under which
the proceedings were taken, two magistrates were re-
quired to adjudicate on the case, and not one.
Mr. BINGHAM said the Legislature most certainly
intended that one metropolitan magistrate, heing a
stable and experienced person, should have authority
to do what could only be done by two country jus-
tices. He believed the objection now taken was un-
tenable, but rather than there houtd be any doubt he
would, if required, adjourn the further hearing to ob-
tain the attendance of his colleague, Mr. Hardwick.
He had already stated that it was essential to have the
charge disposed of on its own merits, and not got rid
of on technical grounds.
Mr. Rippon required to have a definite charge made.
There were several charges on the summons, and he
wished the Court to select the charge. He also con-
tended that, as Mr. Fox had himself proved he had a
partner, the charge did not come within the Act, as
the Act only named one person.
Mr. BINGHAM said if a man threatened several per-
sons, ex necessitate he thre,atened one person. He
could not give any weight to that objection.
Mr. Humphries, having proved his case by the evi-
dence of Mr. Fox and other witnesses, which his
already been published,
Mr. Rippon then proceeded to take objections to the
form and to the matter of the proceedings. lie con-
tended that Mr. Fox had not given a correct version
of the transaction.

Mr. BINGHAM proposed to leave out of view the
evidence of Mr. Fox in the judgment he intended to
give. He would confine himself strictly to the evi-
dence given by the deiendant's own witnesses.
Mr. Rippon said such being the determination of
the Court, he would only call one witness.
A witness was called, and he gave similar testimony
to that which he offered on the former occa ion. The
men, to the number of 50, were invited by the fore-
man of the contractor to attend at the works in Hyde-
park, to receive the wages due to them. They went
into the building for that purpose, when the do-
fendant, seeing Mr. Fox, requested an audience. Mr.
Fox would not grant the request, and turned away,
upon which the defendant said, extending his open
hand, "You may repent this."
Mr. BINGHAM said there had been so many objec-
tions raised t hat he thought they ought to have full
consideration, and therefore he would postpone his
judgment until the following day.
The proceedings did not terminate until nearly six

Additional troops were sent to Aleppo

KERIM PACEIA, they attempted to attack AlepPo
again on the following day, their numbers having
been recruited during the night by somabands of Arabs. This second attack, however,
was not more successful than the first, as the
insurgents were a second time entirely defeated, leavi

A NOVEL.

" The author, we are convinced. is young, otherwise we could
kardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. Ile is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, an 4 by a laudable love
cf the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man-
aeries, and Smythes."—Observer.
Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en
gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha-
racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher of the truth ef what we have
,aid. The other ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and
impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

DISTRESSING AND MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE AT BATH.

—A suicide of a most distressing and determined character
took place in this city yesterday morning by a young man,
who gave his name Thomas Ware, at the Devonshire Arms.
Having dined and taken tea with the family, he went to
bed at eleven, desiring to be called about nine o'clock next
morning, as he wished to leave for Bristol. The landlady,
however, on going up stairs at that time, and having
shook the door, and called out several times to the deceased
without getting any reply, had the door burst open, when
on entering the room she found him dead, lying flat on his
back, his lead under a table, his right hand near his necker-
chief, and his left hand placed on his left breast, covering a
wound which was afterwards found to have been made by a
bullet which had passed through his heart. The room was
covered with blood, and a duelling pistol was found near the
unfortunate man's left hand, also covered with blood. Two
soldiers who had slept in the next room—only a few feet
apart from the dceeased, declare they never heard any report
of a pistol or other sound to arouse their suspicions. The
deceased appeared in excellent spirits throughout the pre-
vious day, and gave big address as Mr. T. Ware, 33, Stokes
Croft, Bristol, observing that he was in partner, hip with Mr.
Davis, watchmaker, Bristol, In the course of conversation
he said that he had made an appointment to attend a ball in
this city yesterday (Monday). He was well dressed, and
appeared about 26 years of age.

The Earl and Countess of Ripon and Viscount
Goderich have arrived at their seat in Yorkshire, from Noc-
pn-park, Lincolnshire.

A large p:(rty of titled and distinguished persons
have been on a visit during the last week to Sir Clifford
Constable, Bart., at Burton Constable, Yorkshire, amongst
whom were George Hudson, Esq., M.P., Mrs. Hudson, and
family—Zig:l:castle Journal.

A NOVEL.

" The author, we are convinced. is young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a igniter of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love
of the 1 wrest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which Links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent esittys
matters that are the prima mobilia of -the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school. of the Disraelis, Man-
nerses, end Smythes."—Observer.
Silwoed' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good tatite and power. It is one of the most interesting and en
gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha-
racter c•f Amelia Ross we have already spok en, and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
paid. 'Cho other ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gcrdon, a wild and
Impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."--Morning Post.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 4th have arrived.
The Spanish Senate was occupied on the 3d and
4th in discussing a proposition of General Ros
DE OLANO and others, to the effect that the Go-
vernment should not be allowed to prevent mili-
tary senators, in non-active service, from remain-
ing at Madrid. General NARVAEZ and the Minister
of War opposed the motion, and it was even-
ttrar rejected. No explanations were given in the
S enate respecting the recent Ministerial crisis ; the
Chamber of Deputies did not meet on the 4tb, and
would not, it was believed, re-assemble before Satur-
day. Fears were entertained that the crisis was not
yet at an end. M. MoN was expected to return to
Madrid without delay, and his presence would, it
was said, strengthen the position of the Cabinet.
MADRID BOLSA, T)Ec. 4.—Of late the prices of the
Funds received by telegraph from Paris have helped
to depress prices here. To-day a telegraphic dispatch
speaks of a considerable rise at Paris on the 30th ult.,
and this has assisted in promoting the reaction against
the late fall, which has been as rapid as the fall
itself. The Three per Cents. were done to-day at

CROSSING CITY THOROUGHFARES. A correspon-
dent suggests that a lighted subway with shops (which would
soon pay expenses), should be formed under the street cross-
ing from Fleet-street to Ludgate-street, and another from
Bridge-street to Farringdon-street, as the thoroughfare there
is really frightful and dangerous. A previous correspondent
suggested the formation of light foot-bridges above the
streets for such thoroughfares. Both of these plans ha're
before been discussed in our columns. Enormous as is the
traffic in omnibuses and cabs, waggons and bullocks, along
Fleet-street, at certain hours, it is even more so along King
William-street and London-bridge. There, too, the street is
considerably wider, without even a halting-place in the
middle, where it begins to he at the worst, near the Monu-
ment : there any tedious attempt to cross at particular hours
is, indeed, most dangerous and fearful. The obviation of risk
to the foot passengers in crossing such thoroughfares, in
whatever way effected, would be a most useful work, and is
every day becoming more urgently necessary. Could not
something be done before the hubbub of next year takes
place ? Perhaps no improvement whatever will be more es-
sential than this. We hope that the projected alteration of
London-bridge itself, for behoof of foot passengers, to which
we have already called attention, is not being lost sight of.

SPONTANEOU3 COMBUSTION IN A COIV.—An In-
verness paper says that last week one of the small tenants at
Embo, county of Sutherland, having a cow swollen with over-
eating of turnips, Mr. Cohn Munro, manager, probed the
animal, and as he performed the operation the farmer's wife
stood over him with a lighted candle. The heated air or gas
from the cow took fire at the candle, and blazed.up, to the
no small astonishment of the parties. It Wa3 with difficulty
extinguished, without doing material injury.

LEGAL APPOINTMENT.—The oflieeof Prothonotary

1,0004 a year. Mr. Sausse is a Roman Catholic.

13 LAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The acknowledged efficacy of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEU-
MATIC PILLS, by the continued series of testimonials which have
been sent to and published by the proprietor for nearly twenty years,
has rendered this medicine the most popular of the present age ; and
in corroboration of which the following extract of a letter, written
by John Mollard Wheeler, Esq., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, hav-
ing been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Prout for publi-
cation, will fully confirm.
" I knew you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but
let me emphatically tell you, in mercylto any friend who may suffer
from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any

MOST DARING AND IMPUDENT ROB-
BERY OF PLATE AT STAMFORD.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
On Sunday morning last, between the hours of
eleven and twelve, two men broke into the dwell-
ing-house of Miss Bolton, of No. 9, Rutland-
terrace, Stamford, whilst the family were at church,
It appears that two men were seen about twenty mi-
nutes put eleven to enter the front door (it is sup-
posed by means of a pick-lock key) by some servants
of the adjoining house, who communicated their sus-
picions to their master that all was not right. The
gentleman thereupon went in search of the po-
lice, and ou their arrival, and entering the
house, they found that the thieves had effected
their escape by the back door, having broken open the
plate chest, and stolen the following articles:—
Fifteen silver forks, eight dessert ditto, eight large spoons,
six small ditto, twelve tea ditto, one pair of sugar-
tongs, three large soap ladles, four sauce ditto, six salt
spoons, one butter-knife, two small forks, and a skewer,
all of the king's pattern; also was stolen one 51. note
of the Bank of Eaton, Cayley, and Co., and
four soverigns. A box containing jewellery was also
broken open, but the thieves, in their hurry, did not take
anything therefrom. A sideboard in the drawing-room
was considerably damaged, from the violence used in
breaking it open, but nothing was abstracted from it.
It is supposed the thieves, had some accomplice
in the town who well knew the premises from the ready
way in which they found the plate in Miss Bolton's
bedroom; that portion of it in use was in the
kitchen, and as the thieves did not go below
they missed it. The audacity of the robbery caused some
consternation in the town; and the other inhabitants of
the terrace (which in all number twenty houses, and.are
chiefly occupied by the gentry, the majority of whom are
ladies), were much alarmed and terrified by this
daring robbery in the open day. The terrace is situated at
one of the outskirts of the town, leading from St. Peter's-
hill; it has no buildings opposite, and behind within 20
yards lie the open fields; the situation offering every fa-
cility for escape when once off the premises.
Information was immediately given to Mr. W. Reed,
the chief constable of the borough, who has been most
indefatigable in his exertions to trace the thieves. Ills
men (the police) were dispatched in every direction
to scour the country, with the view of c spture ;
and telegraphic information was also sent to
all the principal neighbouring towns, and also to
)radon, and a few hours after the robbery handbills
were issued offering a reward of twenty guineas for the
disc.)very of the offenders, but up to the present moment
the thieves remain undiscovered.

HER MAJESTY'S
ANSWER

TO THE

CITY ADDRESSES.

['We are indebted to the Morning Post for an
early copy of her Majesty's answer, it having arrived
before our own] :

The journey from Slough to Windsor Castle was per-
formed in rather ices than an hour, and the procession
entered the Castle Yard at a quarter-past 12 o'clock.
The carriages set down at the grand entrance, from
whence the company were conducted by the Master of
the Ceremonies up to the grand staircase, which was
lined with Yeomen of the Guard. The Lord Mayor
and Corporation then passed through the suite of apart-
ments leading to the Throne Room, in which his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, and all the Great Officers of
State were awaiting the arrival of the deputation.
The various rooms and corridors were lined by the
Hon. Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms, under the command
of Lord Foley.

Her Majesty having taken her seat upon the throne,
the Court of Aldermen of the City of London, headed
by the Lord Mayor, and attended by the Recorder, the
Town Clerk, and various other civic officials, were in-
troduced.

The Lord Mayor, advancing to the foot of the throne,
then had the honour of presenting to her Majesty the
Address agreed to by the Court of Aldermen, which
The Right lion. the Recorder read as follows:
" To THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
" Most Gracious Sovereign,

" Vie your Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, the
Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the city of London; hum-
bly approach your Majesty on no ordinary occasion.
"Deeply grv.teful to Almighty:God for his many
blessings bestowed upon this highly-favoured nation, we
acknowledge amongst the chief, the restoration of the
Protestant faith by the Reformation and the national
vindication of those great principles of Civil and Reli-
gious Liberty, for the defence and maintenance of which
• your illustrious House was called to the Throne of these
realms.

" We learn, with feelings of surprise and indignation,
that the Bishop of Rome has recently issued a bull,
whereby he net only presumes to partition this country
into pretended dioceses of the Church of Rome, but at
toe tame time assumes the right of appointing Arch-
bishops and Bishops of such sees, and conferring upon
there territorial titles and ecclesiastical jurisdiction, all
which we deem to be inconsistent with
.the principles of
our Constitution in Church and State, end 'invasion of

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF
JEWELLERY, Sec.--(THIS DAY.)
This morning the greatest excitement prevailed at the
west end of the town owing to a report getting into cir-
culation that one of the largest silversmiths in the
Strand had been robbed during the night to the amount
of between 2,0001. and 3,0001. On making inquiries the
report was found to be but too correct, and that the pro-
perty stolen was of the most valuable nature, consisting
of diamonds of the most costly description, and other
precious stones, rings, and watches. The house in
which the robbery was committed is Messrs. Chapman
and Williams, the large silversmiths and jewellers, the
left hard tide of Craven-street. Plato was no doubt
the iLoideratum of the robbers, but the removal of it
from the front shop to an inner shop foisted the
burglars of their supposed booty. The premises were
no doubt broken into about three o'clock this morning,
but how the entry was effected there was nothing to show.
The robbery was first discovered about seven o'clock,
when the swop man came, and, to his astouihment, be
discovered the right-hand door ajar. Rn pushed it open,
and found the ceepet and the chairs all moved,and every-
thing in disorder in the shop. In a very short time the
lies wee discovered, and information was at once sent to
Whitehall and Bow-street, from which stations Inspec-
tors Lend, Shaw, and Dodd, battened to the spot. Ser-
geants Thompson and West have now the management
of the case in their hands, and from all the circum-
stances which have transpired, they fully believe they
will be able to place the delinquents at the bar of jus-
tice before another three days have passed. The greatest
excitement prevails in the Strand amongst the silver-
smiths, for none of them think that they era now safe.

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

Mr. George Barker still continues his lectures on
English ballad music with unabated success every
evening at this temple of science and art. In the
course of his lecture Mr. B arker remarks that the
cultivation of the voice has been allowed by some of
the most eminent medical professors to be one of the
most healthful . exercises that could be taken ;
indeed, the exercise of the voice to the lungs
was what walking was to the body ; it strength-
ened the respiratory organs in a manner most
effectual. He then proceeded to describe the
various national styles of music, such as the
gushing melody of Italy, the grand and massive
compositions of Germany, the light and laughter-
stirring style of France, the romantic and imagina-
tive style of Spain, while the hold, striking, and im-
pressive ballads of England, Scotland, and Ireland,
told of the free and generous nature of her people.
In conclusion, the lecturer illustrated his discourse
by singing many beautiful and appropriate ballads,
and among them we noticed the following :
" Llewellyn 's Bride," " Friends of my Youth,"
The Rose of Cashmere," " Wreck of the Emi-
grant Ship," &c.
