monopolist University." The prosecution, which
Iwas instituted at the instance of the Minister of Public
Instruction, was conducted by the Procureur- General,
and excited much interest. The jury, after delibe-
rating for more than an hour, returned a verdict of
guilty, and the Court sentenced the Abbe to impri-
sonment for fifteen days and a fine of 4,000 francs
(1601.) This is a significant proof that the middle
classes have no sympathy with those Jesuitical
Churchmen, who have been carrying on a war against
the public schools of France, and using every means'
to recover dominion over the minds of the people. The
Ministry have had another triumph in the Chamber of
Deputies. On Thursday the Committees for examin-
ing the Secret Service Money Bill were appointed,
and out of nine Commissioners eight belonged to the
Ministerial party. The funds continued firm, the
Three per Cents. closing on Thursday at 82f. 50c.
and the Fives, without the Coupons, at 122 f. 40c.

To-morrow evening the grand banquet takes place,
which is to be given at Covent-garden Theatre, to
Mr. O'Connell. We believe that no spectacle of our
times will surpass it ; indeed, we doubt whether any
will equal it. The Committee have been unremitting
in their efforts to render the arrangements worthy
of the occasion, and the eagerness exhibited in
fashionable circles to see the festival is unequalled.
It has been found necessary to enlarge the area of
the theatre to its utmost extent, and even then the
space falls short of the size that is required. The
stewards have made reserves of tickets up to the latest
moment, and to prevent disappointment to strangers
coming from distant parts, have resolved to give up
their own places, rather than exclude any who are
anxious to join in .this grand national testimony of
sympathy with Ireland.

ACTIONS OF MAHA.RAJPOOR AND PUNNIAR.-Mr.
Wyld, of Charing-cross, has just published three ex-
cellent sketches in reference to the two great battles
gained by the British arms at Gwalior. One de-
scribes the route and positions of the Army of Exer-
cise before the commencement of hostilities ; another
gives an outline of the movements of the Anglo-
Indian army under Sir H. Gough upon Maharajpoor
and Choundah ; and the third, a similar outline of
General Gre's engagement in front of Gwalior.
This strong fortress, it will be seen from the map,
lies between the scenes of action, being about ten
miles from Punniar and eighteen from' Maharajpoor.
The rivulets, valleys, and temporary forts erected for
the occasion are exhibited with much precision, and
the sketches altogether will be found very useful in
forming a correct idea of the country around the
strongest fortress in India. They are published to-
gether in one small sheet and are accompanied by
notes pointing out the lines of attack, the positions of
the different regiments in the course of the day, and
the respective camps of the victors of the battle.
