SUMMARY OF

AND

littbitt Opiatton.

" Who runs may read."

POR.MIGN.

On Sunday afternoon the King, accompanied by
General de Rumigny and an orderly officer, went to
Versailles, but returned to the Tuileries to dinner.
In ,the evening their Majesties received the Duke
Decazes, Count Mortier, Viscount de Mortemart, the
Baron de Perignon, the Baron and Baroness de St.
Didier, and MM. Abraham Dubois, de Came, and
Esperonnier.
The King and Queen of the Belgians were ex-
pected in Paris for the Carnival.
The Minister of Public Works, it is reported, is
about to bring before the Chamber, as a sort or pilot
balloon, a bill for the Northern Railroad, and another
on the Vierzon line. It is to be an adjudication on
certain conditions, several companies having applied
for those two lines. Should the Chamber not agree
to his proposition, the Minister intends proposing that
those lines should be executed by the State.

On the 20th inst., a fire took place at a manufac-
tory at Pont Remy (Somme). The loss of property
was inconsiderable, but nine of the workmen were
killed by suffocation in one of the staircases whilst
vainly endeavouring to escape.
The son of Mr. Watt, the great enginaer, has just
presented to the Academie- des Sciences at Paris a
marble bust of his father, by Chantey.
The last number of the Bulletin ale Lois contains an
ordonnance directing the annullation of not less thin
219 patents through default of payment of the second
portion of the fees. In consequence, they all become
public property, and the specifications are to be placed
at the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers, with all the
models and plans, for consultation and publicity.
The buildings used by the Marquis de Jouffroy
in the Rue de l'Ouste, at Paris, as workshops for the
experiments of his system of railroads, were burnt
down on Sunday night. It is suspected that the fire
was the act of incendiaries.

lumes), the first volume, price 12;., bound in cloth,

The Augsburg Gazette, of the 19th states from
Goritz that the physicians of the Duke d'Angoule'me
have declared their patient to be suffering from a
disease in the intestines with cancer, but that if he
should live until the spring he may hope for a per-
manent recovery from sea-bathing.
We learn from the Berlin journals of the 18th that
the Queen of Prussia is suffering from illness. The
following bulletin was published on the 17th :—" The
Queen has passed an agitated night. Her cough was
frequent, but the progress of the malady is regular,
and inspires no anxiety."

TWO SUPPLEMEN.TS GRATIS,
IVITH THE "DISPATCH."

GREAT NATIONAL TRIAL AT DUBLIN.
6 The immense size of THE WEEKLY DISPATCH has,
hitherto, enabled its Proprietors on all occasions to present a
evious, and, at the same time, interesting map of the events
of each week. It is, however, now found utterly impossible to
give anything like a faithful report of the Trial of Mr. O'Con-
nell and his repeal associates, without excluding a great mass of
interesting domestic and foreign intelligence ; the Proprietors,
therefore, feel that their journal, which has been for years, and
is now, honoured with more patronage than any other in ex-
istenee, should be, in all respects, complete; and, with that
view, they intend to insert a summary of the proceedings
during the progress of the trial in their usual columns, and
present to their friends and subscribers
TWO SUPPLEMENTS. GRATIS.
One of these Supplements will be published on the Sunday suc-
ceding the delivery of the Verdict, and will contain the Speeches
of Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Sheil, Sir C. O'Loghlin, the Attorney-
General, and other leading Counsel ; together with the Summing
up of the Judge, the Verdict of the Jury, and other matters of im-
portance that may arise up to the latest hour, for which the
services of several short-hand writers of eminence have been
specially engaged. The second Supplement (also of the full
size of THE WEEKLY DISPATCH) will, in fact,
form the early portion of the trial, and embrace
the proceedings from the commencement to that
stage at which lbw other begins ' • so that every
subscriber to THE WEEKLY DISPATCH will be in pos-
session of a complete and faithful report of this great national
trial—a trial which must become a matter of history, and
be regarded as an event of no ordinary importance in after time.

In the Court of Bankruptcy another examination
of J. Bedford, who had carried on business as an iron-
monger in the Westminster-road took place. It appeared
from his balance-sheet, that during the time of his
trading (a period of only about 36 weeks) he had in-
curred debts to the amount of 2,369!., and that the
property given up to the assignee valued at 1,262/.
His expences were put down at 1,215/., while the
profits of his business amounted to only 3161. 2s. 4d.,
and 294/. from his wife's jointure. Commissioner
Evans, after examining two witnesses said, I shall
adjourn this case sine die, and when the bankrupt 'can
furnish reasonable accounts he may come up again.
James Gomm and Harris Gomm, his son, appeared
again before the Insolvent Court. They were builders,
and it was stated that they had given a mortgage to
one particular creditor, a relation, when they owed
their present debts, and when failure was inevitable.
The question
.was, whether the insolvents had been
actuated by fraud in the disposition of their property,
which property had been created by the debts they
owed. The Court deferred judgment.

At Marylebone, Henry North, the boy who was
brought up on Tuesday upon the charge of having
stabbed another boy, named Robins; in the breast
with a pen-knife, was fully committed for trial.

spectable-looking man, was charged by his employer,
Mr. Henry Bedford, solicitor, of No. 20, Calthorpe-
street, Gray's Inn-road, and of Gray's Inn-square,
with having embezzled two cheques for 83/. and
9/. 9s. 2d., respectively. Mr. Combe told the pri-
soner he stood fully committed for trial on the charge
of embezzling the cheque for 9/. 9s. 2d., but that he
should remand him on thecharge founded on the 83/.
cheque, for the attendance of Mr. Torriano, the b ar-
rister.

at the meeting at Charlemont House on Thtirsday, the 13th
inst., with respect to the Roman Catholic Church, the Com-
mittee, to whom the petition then agreed upon was given its
charge, think it right to state that the petition originally pro-
posed, and which was finally adopted, contained no suggestion
whatever for a provision for the Roman Catholic clergy ; end
that an amendment having been proposed by a Pro' estant gen-
tleman, which it was thought might be construed into a recom-
mendation on the subject, it was immediately objected to by
Mr. Blake, Mr. Rediugton, Mr. Wyse, and other Roman Ca-
tholic gentlemen present, as opperect to the feelings of the Ro-
man Catholic body in general, and was, therefore, withdrawn.

THE RISLEYS.--11re are sorry to perceive by the
Itavmarket bills that we are so soon to lose Professor •
Risley and his son. 'these accomplished artista take
their benefit this evening, on which occasion Master
Henry Risley will make his appPararv, in conjunction
with his father- and brother. Th,, elegance of the unique
performances of Mr. and Master Risley arc now well
known and justly appreciated ; and Master Henry
Risley, who is only four years of age, posse,,ses all the
ease, grace, and elegance of his elder brother. The-
admirers of the ballet should not miss this Opportunity
of witnessing these performances, which may, with truth,
be termed " the poetry of motion." The house will, no
doubt, as it has been for the last fortnight, be a bumper.
Mr. Webstees patronage of the Risleys reflects great
credit on his well-known liberality and due appreciation
of geniuz.

DEATH FROM VOLUNTARY STA RVA TION.—CoII
derable sensation has pervaded the neighbourhood of
Camden-town,. in consequence of a rumour obta.ining
circulation that Dr. George Swiney, well known front
his eccentric habits, had expired on that day from the
effects of voluntary starvation. The unfortunate gen-
tleman possessed a large fortune, but lived in the
greatest seclusion, not going out of doors more than five
or six times during an entire year. The only person
about him wes his housekeeper. He had never shaved
for the last two years, and his beard extended nearly to
his waist. He was always most abstemious in his 'diet,
but during the last few months, notwithstanding tha en-
treaties of his housekeeper, he would scarcely partake of
any food, and for the last month he peremptorily refused'
to allow the slightest nourishment to pass his jilyt e.:c-
cepting now and then small quantities of cider and water. •
In consequence of this refusal he gradually sank., On
Sunday morning last, becoming nearly insensible, his
housekeeper called in Mr. Knaggs, surgeon, who found
him in a state of stupor, and having rallied him a little,
prescribed for him, but he refused to take the medicine,
and expired shortly after. Some feW weeks prior to his
death Dr. Swiney sent his housekeeper to a'ehemist's in
the neighbourhood for some prussic acid; but the che-
mist refused to let him have it. Before deith • the de-
ceased gentleman made a will, which proves the eccen-
tricity of -his character. Be desires that he shall be in-
terred in St. Martin's burial-ground, Pratt-street, Cam-
den-town, and that his funeral should be on foot; his
coffin to be covered with bright yellow cloth, and the
pall and cloaks of the mourners to be of the same ma-
terial and colour. Three female children, to be clad in
white, chosen by his chief executor, arc to precede his
coffin, for which service he has left to each of them a .
legacy of 20/, and also 201. to be expended in providing
their funeral dresses. He has bequeathed 5,0001. to the
trustees of the British Museum, for the establishment
of a lectureship on geology, and 5,000/. •to the Royal
Society of Arts, out of which sum the first freeholder,
whether 'in England, Ireland, or Scotland, that should
reclaim and bring into cultivation the largest amount of
waste lands, was to receive 100 guineas, to be presented
in a goblet of equal value ; this gift to be renewed every
five years. Five gentlemen of high attainments in lite-
rature, art, and science, have been appointed by. Dr.
Swinoy as his executors. They have already had his
will carried into effect, by placing his body in a Coffin
covered with bright yellow cloth, and studded with gilt
nails, and there is but little doubt. the whole of his ex-
traordinary requests will be rigidly adhered to.
DEATH FROM EXTENSIVE Loss OF BLOOD.-Yes-
terday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Pitt's
Paddington, St. Marylebone, on the body of Mr.
Thomas Lomas, aged fifty-eight, late landlord of the
house. It appeared franc' the evidence of two females,
in the service of deceased, that on Monday last he served
in the bar up till nearly five o'clock, whop he was seized
with a violent vomiting of blood, and retired to bed.
Being averse to medical advice, no surgeon was sent
for until lie had a second access of vomiting, when, eon-
wary to his wish, Mr. Cholm:mdeley, a surgeon of Not-
tingham-place, was called ix by deceased's wife -Mr.
,Cholmondaey said, that he visited deceased at tight
:o'clock on Monday evening, and found three chamber
utensils each half full of blood, expectorated by deceased.
Another vessel contained a large quantity of coagulated
bl iod that had been passed through the rectum. Deceased
complained of pain and depression of. the chest, and
witness was of opinion that the stomach was loaded with
blood. He prescribed for the deceased and the emission
of blood ceased, and on going away he left orders that
if it returned he should be instantly sent for. . Accord-
ingly he was sent for between three and four o'clock
next morning, and found that deceased had emitted as
'large a quantity of blood as before. 'He again pre-
scribed for him, and, though pulsation had: nearly
ceased, deceased had his mental faculties so little im-
paired that he .was able to direct his wife how he should
best dispose of the business after his death, and to point
out the precise spot in liensal-green cemetery in which
he wished to be buried. Deceased had tw. nearly sinn-
lar attacks in 1842 and 1843, and was cured by the ad-
ministration of diluted sulphuric acid, alum, digitates,
and infusion of roses.. Deceased attributed these • sine
gular attacks to previous intemperate habits. Ver-

• k.iAUTION TO LICENSED VIC TUALLERS.—A young
man, representing,, himself as a commercial traveller,
with dark hair, dark .eyes, black whiskers, about five,
feet eight inches in height, amid smart walk, called at the
house of Mr., Daniels, a respectable licensed yie;utiller,
and landlord of the Crown and Masons' Arms public-
house, near her Majesty's Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, and
requested to know if he could have a bed-room and board
for a week. From his respec:able appearance and repre-
sentations, and the superior manners he possessed, an
affirmative reply was given, and he was asked into their
private, parlour, where he partook of all the good com-
forts of this life for near a week, when he, as usual,
went out for his morning's walk after b: eakfast yesterday
morning, stating that he should go up to the Royal Ar-
tillery barracks, and see the band perform their military
duties, and should return to partake of dinner. -The
gentleman, however, forgot to do so, and has not since
been heard of, but has left the reckoning unpaid, and no
doubt made a hasty retreat from the town.
We would once more emphatically call upon every
member of the Liberal party to be in his place upon the first
night of the meeting of Parliament. His friends report with
confidence that Sir Robert Peel will " speak out," both upon
the corn-laws and upon Ireland. It is not improbable. His
followers seemed determined not to tolerate either silence or
evasion ; and possibly the 111 mister's deference to his party
may induce him to frame a frank and straightforward speech
for his Savereign. In this case, the Address will certainly not
pass without an amendeient being proposed ; and we trust the
division will find every Liberal Member at his post.—Chronicle.
