MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Abraham Salmons' of No. 315, Oxford-street,
jeweller, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged
with abominable practices towards John Collins,
porter,:out of employ, who said he formerly lived with
the prisoner's father.
After hearing the evidence,
Mr. HARDWICK was of opinion that both parties

The prisoner had been carrying on his delinquen-
cies for a length of time, by setting down in his ac-
count-books considerable larger sums of money to
the weekly accounts of wages to the journeymen,
&u., than they had received. The greatest confi-
dence wets always reposed in the prisoner. He was
remanded.

He applied for bail to be accepted.
Mr. TYRWETITT declined to take bail in a case where
there was such an abuse of confidence on the part of
a servant towards his employers.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Charles Swift, a master butcher, carrying on busi-
ness in Murpeth-street, Bethnal-green, was placed at
the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged with having
feloniously fired off a loaded pistol at his sister- in-law,
a young married woman named Sarah Smith, resid-
ing in Nottisford-street, Bethnal-green. The pri-
soner, who was very much intoxicated at the time,
discharged a pistol through the window ; and the
contents, striking against the ceiling over her head,
rebounded to the floor.

On being called upon for his defence, the prisoner
said that the complainant had endeavoured for a long
time past to produce discord between him and his
wife, and having beard her on the preceding evening
incite her to abandon him, and start by an early
train into the country, his feelings became painfully
excited, and having ordered her out of the house, he
followed her home with the pistol, which he kept
ready loaded for protection against thieves, and dis-
charged it through the window, in order to frighten
her, and without the slightest intention of doing her
any serious injury.

The Magistrate directed the depositions to be at
once taken by Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, and the pri-
soner was committed to Newgate for trial.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
They are filled with electioneering addresses,
warnings, squibs, and accusations, preparatory to
Sunday next, when the elections take place. The
troops who possess votes for Paris have already voted ;
the votes of 800 of them are known, and they give a
majority of 7 to 1 to the Democratic candidates.
The National announces that in the garrison of
Talle there are 68 military men who are voters in
the department of the Seine, and that they voted as
follows :—Deflotte 66, Vidal 64, Carnot 63, Foy 1,
Darbouville 1, De la llitte 1, Ledru Rollin 2. The
military voters for other departments, stationed in
the same garrison, also voted for the Socialist candi-
dates by large majorities. For the department of the
Upper Loire there are 17 voters, all of whom vote
for the Socialists; for the Loire, 28 for the Socialists.
1 for the Government ; for the Iserre, 25 for the So-
cialists, 1 for the Government ; for the Upper Rhine,
154 for the Socialists, 11 for the Government. At
St. Malo, out of 21 voters for the department of the
Seine, 19 voted for the Socialists, and 1 for General
de la Ilitte. At Mountvaleriar, 43 for the Socialists,
2 for General de la Hate.

The Constitution du Leiret says that in the garrison
of Orleans, out of 61 voters for the department of
the Saine, 45 voted for Carnot, 41 for Flotte, 40 for
Vidal, 9 for Darbouville, 8 for De Chabrol, and 7
for iDe la Hitte. In the other departments the votes
were nearly unanimous in favour of the Democratic
candidates.

It appears that in the preliminary ballot of the Union
Electoral the pure Legitimatist candidate procured
only 9,000 votes, and the pure Imperialist only 5,000.
The lowest of the successful candidates polled up•
wards of 20,000 votes.

The manufacturers of beetroot sugar have sent a
deputation to Paris to protest against any reduction
being made in the import duty on foreign or colonial
sugar.

It appears that the crime of peculation is not con-
fined to the notabilities of the Orleans Court. The
Legitimatist pur sang are not one whit behind the
adherents of the younger branch in dishonesty, and
the crime of M. TEBTE has been equalled, if
riot surpassed, by one of the Gentlemen of the
'ff3edcamber to CHARLES X. In the Court of
Assize of Paris on Thursday, M. LERONETTE,
one of the Gentlemen of the Bedchamber to
CHARLES X., was sentenced to solitary con-
finement for ten years, for having defrauded the
Duchess Dowager of ROCHFOCICAULD DOLTDEAUVILLB
of a sum exceeding 600,000 f. during his administra-
tion of her estate. This is an admirable specimen of
the honest and moderate party.
