was even expected that the Prince DE JOINVILLE
would return to France in the course of next week."

No business of any importance took place in the
French Chambers on Saturday.
The papers are almost entirely filled with reports
of the trial of Madame LAcosTE, which promises to
be a long and heavy affair.
The Augsburgh Gazette of the 10th inst. publishes
a letter from Venice, giving an account of the plans
formed by the insurgents in Italy. " A grand con-
spiracy," it says, " existed, which had its agents at
Vienna, Paris, and London, principally in the latter,
fur uniting all the different states of Italy into one
great Government. The POPE and the Church were
to be dismantled, the King of NAPLES banished, the
several dukedoms dispensed with, the kingdom of
Lombardy freed from Austrian authority ; in short,
the great Government of Italy was to be established.
But little credit, however, is attached to this very
improbable story."

BOROUGTI ELECTORS MANUAL.--The eleventh
annual edition of this useful work by Mr. Coppock
has just been brought out. The instructions under
the head of " Objections to persons on the lists,"
ought to be carefully studied by all who take an in-
terest in elections, and we may say of the publication
in general, that we know of no work on the. registra
tion of voters, which contains so much information in
so small a compass.

THIS DAY'S NEWS

EXPRESS FROM PARIS

The Madrid Gazette of the 9th contains three
financial decrees : the first sanctioning the rescision
of the tobacco contract, the second approving of the
arrangement made by Senor Mon with the Bank
San Fern'ando for a monthly advance of 60 mil-
lions of reals, and the third prescribing the mode
of liquidating the different pending contracts. The
parties interested in the tobacco contract are to be
repaid their advances and expenses, with interest
at the rate of six per cent., and two per cent. com-
mission on the amount of the tobacco sold by them
whilst in possession of the monopoly. A portion of
the tobacco revenues to be specially assigned for the
payment of their claims. The arrangement with the
Bank San Fernando is only from month to month,
but there was little doubt of its being made perma-
nent, as no measure had yet been adopted for
many years that would so fully tend to amelio-
rate the administration of the revenue. It wa:,
expected that in the decree of the dissolution cf
the Cortes and convocation of others, Ministers
would explain their policy and the line they pro-
posed following. Some allusions would be made
to national property of such a nature as to calm any
anxiety which late reports might have created among
purchasers.
The funds improved in consequence of the confi-
dence which Mon's measure inspired.

There was a topic referred to in the House of Commons
which excites great dissension among those interested in
the welfare of the East arid West Indies and the Mauritius,
namely, a well-organized emigration of bill coolies from
the first to the two latter appendages of the British
Crown. That labourers are extensively wanted in the
West Indies is notorious. Those coolies who have visited
the Mauritius have, as a body, been well pleased with
the results that have followed the exercise of their labour,
and in many instances have returned to their homes with
small fortunes. Then, as to the expenses of deportation, no
doubt is entertained by practical men that it ought not to be
borne by the mother country. Lord Stanley, we are told,
has already fully considered the subject, and is of the
opinion we have just stated. No question but that a loan
for the purposes stated, to be guaranteed by the Legislature,
would receive the support of the whole of the West India
body, in and out of Parliament. But as the Colonial Secre-
tary intimated last night, the session is now, too far advanced
fur the consideration of any such measure this year.
The following important notification had been issued at the
Havannah, just before the last advices from thence were dis-
patched :-
1 " Our intendent, in consideration of the calamitous conse-
quences of the drought, which, until lately, has been expe-
.rienced throughout the island, has decreed:—Firstly, That
from the 10th July until the end of the present year, the fol-
lowing articles shall be admitted upon paying half the pre-
sent rate of duties, viz.--Maize, corn-meal, beans, potatoes,
and rice; and that sweet potatoes, yams, and plantains, shall
'be free of duty. Secondly, That the ports ofCardenas, Marie],
and Sagua la Grande, shall be open for the importation of the
above articles; also that junk beef, and salt fish, may he im-
ported at said ports upon paying duties specified in our tariff.
Further, that Batabano, upon the south coast, directly south
of Havannah, at the termination of the Havannah railroad,
shall be open for the importation of yams and plantains."

INSOLVENT COURT.-(THISDAY.)

IN RE TROMAB HENRY HORATIO CAUTY.
The insolvent in this case was a well-known character on
the turf; having been mixed up in most of the horse-racing
transactions which have lately attracted so much unenviable
notoriety. The insolvent's name had also been before the
public as " Captain Canty," in connection with the late ar-
rests by-the police in. their simultaneous attacks upon the
gambling-houses at the West-end. He described himself in,
Lis schedule as having been a lieutenant in the Bourbon Re-
giment of Chasseurs, his commission in which he had sold out.
In the year 1828 he became bankrupt, but succeeded in get-
sing his certificate, and in 1839 he was discharged from this
Court as an insolvent, having paid a dividend amounting
to only 11d. in the pound. Since that time he had been
largely mixed up in accommodation bills and gambling trans-
actions with Lord Huutingtower, Colonel Copeland, and Sir
Robert Gill, and many other well-known characters in the
play and sporting world. The debts in his schedule were
very large, amounting to upwards of 14,5001., all
of which were contracted since the year 1841,
and the names of nearly 150 creditors appeared
ou the lace of his schedule. All that was stated to be avail-
able for his creditors were debts amounting on the whole to
about 5,600/., every one of which were described as "bad."
His schedule also staied that he had won at play from Sir
Robert Gill 1,9481., for which he brought an action against
Sir Robert, but was non-suited. The hearing excited much
interest amongst the members of the play and sporting
world, many of whom were in court.
The insolvent's petition was opposed by Mr. Nicholl's on
behalf of Messrs. Houlditch, the well-known coach -makers
of Long-acre, and was supported by Messrs. Cooke and Wood-
ruffe,
Mr. Nrcnous subjected the insolvent to a longand search-
in6 examination which occupied the early sitting of the
