lset of bankruptcy, and on the 24th the defendant i
in an execution under the judge's order
non-payment of the first instalment
the creditors, alleging the transactio
w a fraudulent one, disputed its validity. The
bankrupt deposed that when he left home he was
under no apprehension from his creditors, but he ad-
mitted he, had Seen in business previously at Cam-
berwell, and, having failed there, hail been refused
protection on the ground of the insufficiency and in-
accuracy of his accounts ; that when from home he
received letters under a feigned name, and that the
defendant was the only medical man who had at-
tended and prescribed for him during his illness,
except when he was in Jerse'. Ilia testimony to-
day was also compared with his examination in the
Bankruptcy Court, and was found to differ from it in
many particulars.
The jury intimated to the Learned Judge that he
need not trouble himself to sum up the evidence, and
immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiffs.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said he entirely approved
of the verdict, and had, seldom known a clearer case
submitted to a jury.

POLICE IN 'rELLIGENCE.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Alfred Hawksbee, a young fellow described as a
cheesemonger, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Arnold, charged with having conspired with others
to defraud Mr. James Meteyard, a butcher in the
New-road, of the sum of 301., under the following
circumstances :
The complainant stated that whilst standing at the
door of his stop, about the beginning of July last,
the prisoner, of whom he had some slight previous
knowledge, engaged him in conversation, in the course
of which they were joined by a man named Stead-
man, who is now under remand at this court upon
another charge, and who challenged the prisoner to
run him MO yards for a bottle of wine and a couple
of sovereigns. The prisoner at once accepted the
challenge, and having persuaded the witness to act
as the stakeholder, they conducted him to a public-
house, when the race was lost by the prisoner, and
after handing the money over to Steadman he was
about to return home, but they insisted that he should
stop and partake of the wine which formed part of the
bet. The wine was taken into the skittle-ground, at
the rear of the premises, where they found a well-
dressed man, apparently intoxicated, who was making
a lavish display of his money, and was engaged
in play with two others. Steadman afterwards
offered to play the drunken man, who lost several
games, and they then persuaded the witness, whom
they had plied with brandy and water until he was
nearly stupefied, to play the same person a single
game for a couple of pounds, which he declined to do
for some time, but, on telling them that he had no
money in his pocket, they advanced him six sove-
reigns, saying that they knew him well as a man of
substance and respectability, and he then consented,
when his antagonist suddenly displayed such skill and
dexterity that he lost the whole of the money, to-
gether with two pounds more, which be obtained
feom the same source. At the instigation of the pri-
soner he then returned home, and having taken 30/.
from his desk, from which he refunded the 81. lent
him, they managed to entrap him into another public-
house, where, to his great surprise, he found his former
opponent was waiting, and baying been pressed to take
mere drink until his senses were almost gone, they
induced him to play ten games in succession for a
stake of 201., which was also lost, and on taking up
his coat, in the pocket of which he had left two loose
sovereigns, he found they had been stolen by one of
the gang. He had no recollection of anything that
took place afterwards, but was confined to his bed for
a fortnight, from the effects of the pernicious liquors
given him on the occasion ; and his wife's health bad
sustained such a shock from the loss of the money,
which was all they had at the time to carry on busi-
ness, that she had been seriously ill ever since.
Sergeant Harvey informed the magistrate that he
had received a communication from the waiter of a
tavern adjoining the prosecutor's residence, who ex-
pressed his readiness to come forward and depose to
the fact that he had overheard the prisoner and his
confederates arrange the plan to decoy the prosecutor
from his house and plunder him of his money, in the
exact mode which they had carried into execution, as
detailed by him in his evidence.
It having been also intimated that other charges
would be preferred against the prisoner's accomplice
in the above transaction on the day appointed for his
re-examination,
The MAGISTRATE ordered the prisoner to be re-
manded till then ; but consented to accept two
substantial sureties in 401. each for his future ap-
pearance
The required bail, however, was not forthcom-
ing at the close of the court, and the prisoner was
therefore taken away in the van to the House of
Correction.

At the Bell Inn, Saxmundham on TUESDAY, the 28th day of May

and first-rate Shop, with plate glass front, and back and skylights,
advantageously arranged for the show of goods, capital cellarage,
good counting-house, tallow chandlery, excelleut warehouses, gig-

MESSRS. NICOLL'S WAREROOMS,
through the purchase of adjoining premises, now extend
over a space hitherto occupied by four large Establishments, viz.,
114, 116, 118, and 120, REGENT-STREET, thus forming, with
their several suites of Show-rooms on the First Floor, riot only the
largest, but also the most elegant, Magazine for Gentlemen's Cloth-
ing to be met with in Europe.
The Entrance to the Wholesale and SHIPPING DEPART-
MENTS, for the Sale of Woollen Cloths, &c., will, for the future, be
in Warwick-street, No. 41 (immediately at the rear of the Retail
Warerooms in Regent-street), where the counting-house is also
placed, and to which address all applications for agencies. &c., are
referred, as also those who may desire interviews with the Princi-
pals, or Heads of Departments ; but Manufacturers, or others, having
novelties to submit to the above firm, are requested to make an ap-
pointment in writing.
Those who are desirous of becom!ng Messrs. NK'OLL'S Agents
for the sale of their Patented and other Goods, in such towns of the
United Kingdom or Colonies where Messrs. N. are at present un-
represented, are informed that the Goods in question may be sold
by them at the same prices as they are retailed in Regent-street; at
the same tune affording to the Agent a better profit than if attempts
be made to copy, or otherwise pirate, the several articles.
Merchants, Shippers, and others, will find the class of goods sold
by Messrs NICOLL peculiarly well adapted, through their excellence
of quality and finish, for the wants of the now numerous respectable
residents in the Colonies as the goods are such as are required by the
wealthy and middle classes of the Mother Country. Indeed, a safer
or more profitable venture cannot be made by Shippers, seeing that
the Market has been hitherto almost exclusively supplied with gar-
ments calculated, in material and appearance, for the use of labourers,
&C., only.
THE NICOLL PALETOT, or PATENT
COAT, as also the original invention, the REGISTERED
PALETOT (6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65), and NICOLL'S MORNING
COAT, adapted for Spring and Summer Wear, and, notwithstand-
ing all the recent Improvements (making these Garments not only
the most Gentlemanly, but also the most durable and inexpensive
articles of Dress extant), the prices tor the above seasons will yet
remain at ONE and TWO GUINEAS each.
114, 116, 118, 120, Regent-street, and 22, Cornhill.
114, REGENT-STREET.
The above will, as heretofore, form the principal entrance to
NICOLL'S PALETOT WAREROOMS, as also where Gentlemen
are respectfully invited to inspect all the NOVELTIES (as well as
all the established articles of Costume) that capital can collect, or
skill can form.

Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Burchell appeared for
the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr.
Parry for the defendant.
This was an action upon the case, in which the
plaintiff
sought to recover damages for an injury sus-
tained in consequence of the negligent driving of one
of the defendants' servants. The defendants were the
proprietors of the Favourite omnibuses, which ply
from Highgate to Westminster, and it appeared that
on the 12th of January last one of their omnibuses
was coming from Holloway towards London, when it
came into collision withi the plaintiff's chaise-cart.
The plaintiff was immediately thrown out, and had
his arm broken. The defendants' omnibus was on
the off side of the road at the time of the accident,
and endeavouring to pass a train of carts which were
coming towards London ; but it was contended that
the accident arose from the carelessness of the person
who was driving the plaintiff's chaise-cart, and seve-
ral witnesses were called in support of this case.
The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff, with 751.
damages.

[PRICE SD.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Voix do People was seized on Monday for
having published a petition to the N ational Assembly.
Having put down the right of meeting, " burked" the
right to education, and attacked universal suffrage, the
reactionaries are now, it appears, prepared to put
down the right of petition. They should take advice
of some competent engineer as to what is the usual
consequence of preventing the escape of steam by
over-weighting the safety valves.
It would appear from the Presse that the atrocious
spy system of FOUCHE, which was so eloquently de-
nounced by Madame DE STARL has been reorganized
by M. CARLIER. The Presse says—
" A year ego sso announced that, after interfering
with the press and suppressing the right of meeting, the
fseedom of conversation would be assailed, and even
silence itself suspected. Facts have appeared to confirm
our reasoning. Already has liberty of conversation
ceased to exist; we can no longer chat in a salon or at
the fire-side without the police intruding and listening.
incredible as this may seem it is nevertheless the fact, as
has been proved by an unanswered recital of a contempo-
rary, who has given a detail of facts, which bring us back
to the time when Madame de Steel and Madame Reca-
mier were exiled from France because they had let some
epigram escape their lips, or, perhaps, less than that, an
ironical smile."
The divisions among the various sections of the
reactionary party appear to be as profound as ever,
although they are for the present united on the sub-
ject of the Electoral Bill. But it is evident that
whenever that measure shall be disposed of they will
break out again with greater violence than before.
The following Bonapartist manifesto, which appears
in the Napoleon, does not bear witness to an ententc
cordiale with either Legitimatists or Orleanists :
" We have faith," says the organ of the Elysee," in
the profound conviction which the Government feels of
its mission, of the vital force of society, and of the ex-
cellent instincts of the masses. When we speak of the
Government we do not speak of an individual interest, but
have our eyes fixed on the star of France. Providence
in opening to France for the last 60 years the career
of revolutions, sent to her in the midst of her trials
a powerful mediator between the past and the future, to
purify now principles, and associate with them those old
ones which experience had shown to be indestructible,
and establish on this double basis a strong and glorious
society. In our eyes forms are of very secondary interest.
All that is important is the principle. This also is the
opinion of France, which has passed through so many
governments to find the accord of liberty and order. Let
us not forget that the connexion of contemporaneous
history lies in the reciprocal influence of the greatest
event and the greatest man of modern times—the French
revolution and Napoleon. This is fully comprehended
by the instinctive sagacity of the mass. It has never
separated the revolution and Napoleon. It is the cause
of liberty and of order; the cause of principles and new
wants served and satisfied by a national Government.
This conviction, which is a profound one in the minds of
the people, is a preservative against the extravagant and
perverse ideas with which it is sought to poison them.
Napoleonism is powertul against Socialism, for it re-
presents at the same time a national Government re-
ceiving new influence from popular feeling and true
liberty. In the consciousness of such an origin, it de-
rives a force which enables it to perform all its duties.
It comprehends that the more it proceeds in concert with
the will of the nation, the more it is bound to display
energy. It cannot forget that a timid policy is the worst
of all policies, for it gives audacity to men who should be
intimidated."
The division between the Legitimatists and Orlean-
ists is scarcely less profound. The Evenement having
mentioned a report that a reconciliation was on the
eve of taking place between the two branches of the
House of Bourbon is thus taken to task by the Le-
gitimatist Gazette de France :
"We have remarked that rumours of a reconciliation
between the two branches of the Bourbon family are
invariably circulated when it is desired to obtain the
votes of the Right for some measure that may com-
promise their cause. We are therefore not surprised
to find this news in a journal, as it is merely a re-
vival of a rumour which never had any foundation."
The Patric has the following on the Electoral Law :
" The Committee on the Bill for the revision of the
Electoral Law met to-day at eleven o'clock, and remained
in deliberation until six o'clock. The general discussion
has terminated. We understand the Committee are
unanimous as to the necessity of urgency, and of the
adoption of the Bill. One of the members proposed the
infliction of a fine upon electors inscribed who abstain
from voting. This important proposition will be dis-
cussed at an early sitting. To-morrow the Committee
will hear the Ministers, and on Tuesday the resolutions
will be come to, and a reporter named. The report will
be deposited on Wednesday, so that the discussion in the
Assembly may commence on Friday."
The same journal says:—
" The audacious pretension of M. Napoleon Bonaparte,
in protesting against the Assembly and against the re-
spect due to the laws, continues to excite attention. At
a meeting of representatives, which was held this day, it
was declared that if the Government should be wanting
in the duty imposed upon it on this occasion, there will
be members in the party of order who will not shrink
from their duty."
The reactionaries are having recourse to their
usual system of enormous lying, in order to endeavour
to terrify the timid into an acquiescence in their
nefarious schemes for the reorganisation of that sys-
tem of corruption by which, under the Monarchy
(teste, TESTE) they so largely profited. M. BARBET,
on presenting the report of the Committee of the
Council-General of Agriculture, Manufacture, and
Commerce, thought proper to indulge in a violent
oration recommending the adoption by the Govern-
ment of reactionary and ;coercive measures, and thus
described the state of affairs :
" On every point the evil is the same, no business is
done except tor, short periods. This is from want of
security for the present—from want of confidence as to
the future."
Yet we find by the business report of the same day
that " business in Paris is not bad," that " the people
are well employed," that " orders for foreign account
serve to give a stimulus to trade," that " the shops
have good sales," that " the accounts from Lyons are
favourable," and that " agricultural produce is gene-
rallyspeaking rising,in price." Oh ! M. BARBET, M.
BARBET ! FERDINAND MENDEZ PINTO was but a
type of thee.
The Constitutionnel has a semi-official article on
the Greek question After recapitulating the details
of what has taken place there, which have alr:ady
been laid before our readers, it says :
" While these things were going on at Athens a treaty
had been concluded at London between the French and
English Cabinets. A sum of 212,000 francs was allowed
as the total amount of the English claims. The Greek
Government was to address a simple letter of regret to
the English Minister relative to the arrest of the seamen
belonging to the Phantom. As to the Portuguese
claim of Mr. Pacifico, each of the parties were to
name an arbitrator to examine them, and France wa
to appoint a third in order to decide the question.s
Two things were agreed upon in the treaty ; first,
that if the plenipotentiaries did not come to an under-
standing at Athens, they should not resort to any
coercive measures until they had referrede in th ma
the
to London and to Paris; and, secondly, that

Such was the :resuylieosmf

negotiations carried on in London, e atnwdethGeree wrna
a perfect accord between
The disagreement subsisted oetween the two Plenipoten-
tiaries at Paris. Baron Gros persisted in demanding
that the English Minister should not take any coercive
measures until he had referred the matter to his Go-
vernment. The latter replied that he had no instruc-
tions which authorised him to act in that manner,
and hostilities were resumed. While the blockade
was being recommenced, the French steamer
Vauban arrived in the Pirxus with the ac-
count that at the moment she left a treaty, negotiated
at London, was on the point of being concluded. The
English Minister, however, persisted, and the Greek Go-
vernment yielded and accepted the conditions imposed
on her by force. In five or six hours after the Greek
Government had yieldedi French and English vessels
entered the Pirmus, bring to the negotiators the treaty
concluded in London. Such has been, we are assured,
the progress of facts. The question which first presents
itself is, 'ls it not the treaty of London that ought
alone to be binding on the parties? It is said, certainly,
in that treaty, that if a convention had been entered
into on the spot that alone should be in force. But
had such a convention been entered into on the
spot? Evidently not. There were conditions imposed
by force; their was an act of violence committed at
Athens, and a treaty concluded at London. It is
this treaty alone which ought to govern the affair. It
must be, moreover, remarked that the treaty of London
states that in the event of the negotiations not coming to
au understanding at Athens, Mr. Wyse would be.in-t
structed not to resort to any coercive measures agfaitnwse

The Marquis of NORMANBT had a long interview
with the Minister for Foreign Affairs yesterday, to
whom he communicated a conciliatory reply from
Lord PALMERSTON on the subject of the Greek treaty.
The treaty of London will, it is said, supersede that
entered into by Dir. wiz,

.kmen in the iron district of Cruzot, in the
Loire, have turned out, and for several
7 had possession of the town. Troops had
against them, and it was rumoured in Paris
rge portion of the troops had joined them,
the insurrection was spreading.
It was also rumoured that the PRESIDENT had dis-
covered an intrigue of the Royalists to sacrifice him
to the Bourbons, and that he had therefore determined
to break with them definitively, and to make an im-
mediate change in his Ministry. The overtures made
to the tiers Tara in the Napoleon of Sunday would
seem to countenance this rumour.
The itioniteur publishes a decree of the PRESIDENT
of the Republic regulating the mode in which the
Superior Council of Public Instruction shall be con-
voked, in pursuance of the 84th clause of the organic
law on education. It also publishes a degree dismiss-
ing four prefects and two sub. prefects.
The Moniteur also publishes a report from the
Minister of War, recommending the restoration of
the commander of the corps of firemen of Paris, who
was removed at the revolution of February. The
PRESIDENT of the Republic has restored him by
decree.
The Union Republicaine of Saint's, whichlwas pro-
secuted by the Attorney-General for having pub-
lished a seditious libel, has been acquitted by the
jury.
