the person of Mr. CAnus Wiz sow before it, and
within its own indisputable jurisdiction.

Madrid journals of the 21st instant give reports of
the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies, which
show that even the Members take no interest in the
discussions. Not more than sixty were present when
the clause declaring the Senate elective was adopted.
No positive information respecting ZURBANO had
been received by the Government. The capital was
perfectly tranquil, and the funds remained firm.

The Three per Cents. closed at 28} for cash, and
2.8 a at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 201 at 60
days ; the Floating Debt at 65i, at 59 days; the
Coupons at 25i for cash ; and the Debt without In-
terest at 6 for cash, and 6 3-32 at 60 days.

The accounts in the Paris papers, as well as those
published near the scene of action, leave no doubt
that the attempt of ZURBANO to raise an insurrection
in the north of Spain had completely failed. Ms
followers were completely dispersed on the 19th or
20th inst., and ZURBANO himself escaped, but one of
his sons, a youth only twenty-three years of age, his
father-in-law, and several others fell into the hands of
the QUEEN'S troops. The Constitutionnel thus relates
these events :

TRIS DAY'S NEWS

PRIVY COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.)
The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat to-
day at the Council-office, Whitehall. The Lords present
were—the Master of the Rolls, Lord Campbell, Mr.
Baron Parke, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, the
Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall, Sir 11. East, Sir
E. Ryan, and Sir E. Johnson.

" We have received intelligence from Bayonne, which
gives as positive the arrest of the son and father-in-law
of Zurbano, who accompanied him in his enterprise.
Both were taken on the night of the 20th, near the Ebro,
at the moment they were seeking to pass the river, in
order to take refuge in France. As to Zurbano himself,
it was supposed that he was lying hid in some village of
the high grounds, between Upper Arragon and Navarre.
It is not true, as had been reported in Bayonne, that he
had turned back Ito Soria. The two prisoners, we un-
derstand, were placed in custody in the chapel of Lo-
grono. All that was waited for to have them shot was the
order of General Pavia, Captain-General of Navarre.
Zurbano's son is 23 years of age."
The Phare des Pyrenees of the 24th gives longer
details, and states that it is the brother-in-law, not
the father-in-law, of ZURAANO, who had been cap.
tured with one of his sons. No traces of ~ZnanAlgo's
flight had been discovered. That journal says :
" We have received a letter from Vittoria dated the
22d, and written at the moment the courier was about
to depart, which states the military authorities had just
received an official report announcing that Cayo Muro,
Zurbano's brother-in-law, and one of his servants, had
fallen into the hands of the Queen's troops on the 20th,
when endeavouring to gain the Ebro. One of Zurbano's
sons was also made prisoner on the night of the 20th.
" The news which we gave in our last number relative
to the rising of the communes of Auso and Echo (Upper
Arragon) appears positive. The following details have
reached us through Urdos, under date of the 21st:—
The first act of the insurgents was to disarm
the Custom-house officers placed over that part
of the frontier. They next seized on a rich landowner
of the country, whose only crime is being a Moderado,
and they demanded from him a sum of 20,000 f., which
he was obliged to pay down to save his life. Not-
withstanding this compliance on his part, great uneasi-
ness was felt for his life, as the insurgents had killed one
of his servants. The Governor of Jaca, informed of
these events, dispatched against the insurgents a detach-
ment of 50 soldiers, who, according to the account of
persons arriving at Urdos, were made prisoners. The
officer in command of the detachment was, it is said,
killed in endeavouring to escape, and another officer,
belonging to the Custom-house corps, had met with the
same fate. The insurgents threatened to kill every pri-
soner that attempted to escape.' A letter which we have
received from Pampeluna, of the 21st, informs us that
the insurrection of the two communes met with no sym-
pathy from the surrounding valleys, and that the Cap-
tain-General of Arragon has sent troops in pursuit of
the insurgents. On his side, the Captain-General of
Navarre has directed a strong detachment on the valley
of Roncal, in order to assist in restoring tranquillity.
The news of the complete destruction of Zurbano's band
will powerfully contribute to enlighten these unfortu-
nate people, who must have been led astray by false re-
presentations."
The next scene will be the execution of the un-
happy victims of a scheme which, from the commence-
ment, held out no prospects of success. ZURBANO
had no wealthy supporters ; he could not bribe as
NARVAEZ did; he had to trust only to the patriotism
of the people, but the people rejected him.
The following remarks, respecting the schemes of
certain Spaniards in Paris, appears in the Presse :
" The chiefs of the Progressist and the Ayacucho
parties in Paris are preparing a political demonstration,
from which they expect great effects. We said, a short
time ago, that three Madrid journals, El Expectador, El
Glamor Publico, and El Eco del Commercio, had opened
a subscription for the persons arrested as participators
iu the late affairs of Madrid and Barcelona. At the
instigation of the great leader of the party, it was
decided that there should be sent to Madrid, to be pub-
lished in all the journals, a list of subscriptions, con-
taining the signatures of all the Progressists and
Ayacuchos in France and England. This list, which
ha►s been circulated with the greatest mystery, has
already a large number of signatures. The first name.
we are assured, is that of General Espartero."

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westminster before Lord
DENMAN and a Middlesex Common Jury.)

PITCHER KING.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an attor-
ney, against the defendant, the Sheriff of Sussex, for
making an improper return to a writ tbr levying an exe-
cution on the goods of a person named Bean, at Brighton.
The history of this case is a curious one. The plaintiff,
who is an attorney, appeared as such in Court, and was
constantly instructing his counsel, Mr. Watson. Two
juniors, Mr. Crompton and Mr. Charnock, were with
Mr. Watson, but neither of them were in Court when the
case was called on, neither did they appear in Court
during its progress.
Mr. WATSON opened the caso to the jury, and stated
that the case had previously been before the Court on
demurrer. The pleadings were most voluminous, and
had been drawn with such ingenuity that they had
puzzled all the lawyers in Westminster Hall.
Lord DENMAN—I am sure they puzzled all the
J udges.—( A laugh.)
Mr, WATSON had sat up the greater part of last night
and the night before, to study them, and was not sure
that he actually understood them yet. In consequence
of the decision of the Court there had been a new as-
signment, and that, at all events, the plaintiff would be
entitled to their verdict.

Mr. PLATT, who appeared for the defendant, thought
his Learned Friend did not accurately understand the
record.

Mr. WATSON requested the officer of the Court to hand
him the record.

A quantity of parchment, which might have served
as a carpet to the floor of the Court, was here
handed to Mr. Watson, who exclaimed, on receiving it,
" Why, gentlemen of the jury, here is enough of it to
form a winding-sheet for the whole of you !" The case,
however, broke down at the very commencement. An
office copy of the return made by the defendant was put
in, and William Walker was called for the purpose of
proving it, but William Walker did not answer. He
was then called upon his subpeena, and as he did not
appear,
Lord DENMAN directed that the plaintiff must be non-
suited.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON, &c.)
MURDER.--Alfred Edwards, aged twenty-four, de-
scribed in the calendar as an oilman, was indicted for the
ofbwyilfaudlmminiursdteerring to
Jane Gregory
a certain poison. Gregery " anun fortunate girl,?
Mr. Montague Chambers and Mr. Doane attended for
the prosecution ,• Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Parry were
retained for the defence.
Mr. CHAMBERS stated the case to the jury, and then
called witnesses.
Mary Greene, 2, New-court, Nichol-street, Bethnal-
green, knew the deceased, who lived at No. 3, in the
same court. She was a woman of the town. The pri-
soner was in the habit of visiting Jane Gregory, at her
lodgings. I remember, on the night of the 19th Sep-
tember, seeing the prisoner with the deceased in her
room. Jane called me in, and I saw the prisoner
at the fire smoking his pipe, and the deceased
sitting by him. They were both sober. I
saw a quart pot on the table, with some beer
in it, and I was asked to take some by deceased and did
so. She also drank a little of it, but the IDrisoner did not.
There was also a long necked black bottle and a cup
upon the table. This was about eight o'clock at night,
and there was no light in the room. I could not see
whether there was anything in the bottle or the cup. I
asked what was in the bottle, and she said only some
catsup. She did not say where she got it. She did not
say where it came from before the prisoner. I went away
and came back a second time with a light. The bottle I
could then perCeive was about half full of liquid. There
appeared to be some in the teacup also of a dark
colour. She asked me to go out with . her
when Alfred was gone. I said, if not too
long. I did go with her. I then went
away and put my bonnet and shawl on. I went to
the door and called Jane. Alfred was there then. In a
short time I went in. Jane was putting on her bonnet,
and he was sitting by the fire. I said, "Jane, I can't go
with you, it's ten o'clock." The young man said, "No
it's not so late." We went down stairs then, but first
the young man put the bottle in his pocket, and the cup
was put in the cupboard. We went as far as Cock-lane,
and there we parted. He said, "Good night, Jane,"
and she said, " Good night, Alfred," and he kissed and
shook hands with her. When he was running away she
called after him, "Alfred, what time shall I see you to-
morrow." He said, " Stop till to-morrow comes and
I'll tell you." The deceased and I then went round by
Hoxton, and to the Britannia, and while there she com-
plained of sickness. That was in about half an hour
after parting with Alfred. She appeared to spit a very
little like water. I left her when she went into the thea-
trical room at the Britannia, and I came home. It was
then about twenty minutes to eleven. I saw her again
next morning after ten o'clock.
Baron ALDERSON—Did she complain of pain before
you left her that night ?
Witness—Yes ; shecomplained of pain in the stomach.
I saw her about a quarter after ten next morning. She
appeared to be dying. She spoke sensibly but low.
Her hands seemed spent and quite black. Her face was
as black as her hands. I took her hand • it felt cold and
I could not open the fingers. She said lam dying. I
said, Jane what have you been drinking ? She replied
nothing but the brandy Alfred gave her. I saw Sarah
Russell in the room and sent her for deceased's brother.
The prisoner then came in and said to her " What's
the matter ?" She said "Alfred Alfred, how bad I am.
lam dying." He said, "`ghat have you been drink-
ing?" She replied " Nothing, but the brandy
bitters you gave me last night." He coloured up very
much and said nothing. I left him then with
Charlotte Scott and the deceased. When I re-
turned, the prisoner was gone. The doctor came and
advised her to go to the hospital. On the Tuesday before
the prisoner and deceased had a few words. I was in
my own room, but when he was gone, she came down to
me crying.
Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—I knew the de-
ceased about nine months. She walked the streets. She
was admitted, without paying, into the Britannia, where
there was music and dancing, and liquors were sold. She
had the small-pox about three months before, but had
recovered about three weeks before. I did not see medi-
cine bottles about her room. I did see some quicksilver
on the mantel-piece, but I did not know what it was till
the policeman told me. I never knew of her having any
disease except the small-pox.
Sarah Ketteridga examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—I am
married, and on Thursday the 29th September, was at
Nichol-street, Bethnal-green. On that night, between
eleven and twelve, I met the deceased, Jane Gregory,
in Shoreditch. She complained a great deal and vomited,
but I could not see what it was. She was retching for
five minutes. She drank some cold water. When I
left her near home it was past one o'clock.
Soule severe observations were here made by the
Learned Judge, and coincided in by Counsel, as to the
culpability of tradesmen in offering a premium to vice by
admitting unfortunate females free to public places of
entertainment.

tion of Mr. PoLK as President of the United States,
and thus expresses satisfaction at the defeat of
Mr. CLAY :

" That according to the accounts brought by the Great
Western, the election of Mr. Polk may be considered as
certain. We may be permitted, therefore, to examine
its bearing on external as well as on internal affairs.
The only question which affects us is whether the ten-
dency of the new Government will be injurious or ad-
vantageous to our interests, and in this point of view the
defeat of Mr. Clay does not cause us any regret. Whig
as he was, he nevertheless laboured hard to procure
the adoption by the American union of a system of
tariffs from which the manufactures of France suffered
severely. If he had succeeded in his election for the
President's chair, no doubt the present tariff would have
been maintained, and perhaps increased. To speak can-
didly, we are glad that Mr. Clay and his school have been
defeated, since the consequence may be a modification
favourable to the trade of our country. Mr. Polk, the
future President, appears disposed to reduce the duties
we complain of, and therefore Mr. Polk, Radical though
he be, is welcome to us. For the same reason his ap-
pointment will be favourably received in England, be-
cause the tariff of 1842 is equally injurious to English
interests. This satisfaction, however, will be mingled
with uneasiness. Mr. Polk is, in fact, a declared par-
tisan for the annexing of Texas to the Union. He has
likewise declared for the definitive occupation of the
Oregon territory by the American forces. But these
ere two acts against which England has never ceased to
protest. Being now masters of the Government, will
the democratic party and its representative pursue the
plans which they announced during the electoral con-
test? Will England, on her side, persist in the oppo-
sition which she manifested at the first declaration of
such an intention ? These are questions which naturally
present themselves, and which merit the undivided atten-
tion of the political world."

Baron ALDERSON—It is quite impossible that this wit-
ness can be correct to the letter, but it is just possible
she may be correct i❑ substance.
James Gregory, brother of deceased, had seen the
prisoner and his sister in company twice, some time in
July or August. I was sent for on the morning of the
20th, and went for Dr. Smith. I saw a bottle in the
cupboard—the only bottle there of the contents of which
I tasted. I took the bottle away, and gave it to Mr.
Wheelborn, the chemist, and I afterwards went with the
police-sergeant to look for the prisoner. Found him
in a public-house in Cock-lane, Shoreditch, about fifty
or eighty yards from the place at which my sister died.
She was 17 years of age. I asked him what was the
matter with my sister. He said he did not know—she
had taken some brandy bitters. They say (meaning the
girls in the room) that I have poisoned her.
Cross-examined by Mr. I3ALLANTINE—The bottle
now produced was more full when I left it at the
chemist's than it is now. My sister left her place about
two years ago, and since that time I believe has been
living in this state.
Sergeant Seeley—l took the prisoner into custody.
I said, "It is a bad job—the girl's dead." He said,
" Good God ! what I gave her was brandy bitters."
He also said that he himself had taken some of the
brandy bitters. I have often drunk of it myself.
Henry Lambert, a constable, found a piece of paper on
the mantelpiece of deceased's rooms, with a bit of quick-
silver in it. On the evening of Friday went to the
house of prisoner's father, and searched the prisoner's
bed-room, and in a drawer of the glass found a powder.
The prisoner's sister then showed rue a cupboard in the
kitchen, in which I found a paper marked " sugar of
lead—poison." The paper was damp and mouldy, as if
it had not been opened for a considerable time. In a
piece of brown paper I found a white substance with no
writing on it. It had no deist on it like the first paper.
I delivered these packae-es to Dr. Leesom. I was present
in Shoreditch Church v7hen the grave was opened con-
taining the body of deceased.
Cross-examined by Mr: BALLANTINE—The powder
found in the cupboard was along with bottles of
pickles, &c.
Thomas Edwards, father of the prisoner—The cup-
board was used by the prisoner for keeping pickles, and
he had always the key in his possession. I have had a
bad leg to which I have been in the habit of applying an
ointment made from red or white precipitate.
Henry Smith proved that he drank some brandy
bittersgiven him by the prisoner, and he felt no ill effects
from what he drank.

Thomas Windmill, gave similar evidence. The pri-
soner said that the brandy bitters were very old, and had
beers in his father's house for above two years. It had
been left by an old lady, who had died there. He offered
the bottle and contents for six shillings. He was per-
fectly serious in Isis offer. The brandy bitters produced
no inconvenience.

Smith, surgeon and assistant to Mr. Wheelborn, of
Shoreditch—l visited the deceased, and found her in bed
suffering from pains in the stomach and intermittaut
pulse. The skin was very dark. I saw a bottle on the
table, and poured some of the contents into a cup and
tasted it. It felt pungently bitter and strong. I went
borne to prepare medicines, but she had died in the
meanwhile. The brother afterwards gave me the bottle,
which I gave to Dr. Leesom. I made a post mortem exa-
mination of the body, and the stomach was inflamed with
small red spots, particularly at the lower extremity.
When the body was afterwards exhumed, I took the
kidneys and liver out, and gave them, with the stomach,
to Dr. Leesom.
George Roper, student of Guy's Hospital—Received
two bottles and the stomach, which I sealed up and gave
to a boy to deliver to Dr. Leesom, of St. Thomas's
Hospital.
The delivery of the package and bottles to Dr. Leesom
was proved.

Di.. Smith recalled, and examined by Mr. BALLA.N•
TINE—The kidneys were not discoloured.
By Mr. CHAMBERS—The gums were not discoloured.
Dr. Leesom, Physician of St. Thomas's Hospital, and
Lecturer on Chemistry, declared the general effects of
poison on the system as a contracted position, great sen-
sation of thirst, rigidity of the limbs, &c., and accom-
panied by great pain. These sensations could be pro-
duced by a lead poison, in most of its preparations. In
the present case he observed the stomach in an inflamed
state at the upper extremity, and a trifling inflamation
at the lower part. The coats of the stomach were
partially congested, which was not usual with that
particular poison. On analysing the stomach, he
found a portion of lead therein, weighing 1 gr.
and 1 dwt. The quantity of water used in
boiling was somewhere about two gallons, which would
dissolve a still greater quantity of lead than that remain-
ing after the analysis. On testing the contents of the
bottle in deceased's room, I found it to contain ab-
solute alcohol, in the proportion of two to one. It con-
t;►ined no metallic compound whatever. There was a
sediment at the bottom, which contained chalk, and on
applying the tests for mercury and lead, found neither in
any quantity sufficient to weigh them.
The Learned JUDGE thought the case need not go any
further, and, on Mr. Clarkson's assent to the opinion,
the jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of Not
Guilty.
The unfortunate prisoner burst into tears, and for
some time was apparently insensible to what was passing
around him.

Baron ALDERSON said that in his opinion the case
was decided; when the fact of others drinking the same
liquid, without sustaining any injury, was shown to
the Court. The unfortunate girls vicious life had no
doubt accelerated a crisis which was certain, in every
case, at nu very distant day.

They proceeded into the front room on the first floor,
and three the whole of the defendants were found except-
ing Hunt. The defendant Lilly, demanded what right
the police had to forcibly enter a room where gentlemen
were assembled to play at billiards ? They were told
they must all go to the station-house for being found in
a common gambling house, and they were accordingly
conveyed there, but were afterwards bailed out.
Cross-examined by Mr. Clarkson—There were two
billiard-tables in the room. No implements of gambling
were found in the house.

Inspector Beresford stated, that as he was standing
near the house just previous to the entry being made,
William Johnson and another of the defendants, who
were standing at the door, recognised him, and directly
ran in, and he instantly heard a bell ring, which was, no
doubt, to give the alarm that the police were at hand.
After the other defendants had been secured, he, ongoing
to the cellar stairs, found the defendant Hunt coming up
from the basement floor, and took him into custody.
The rooms were lighted up with gas, as gambling-
houses generally are. There is a billiard-table manu-
factory in the upper part of the house.
Mr. Clarkson submitted that there was not a tittle of
evidence affecting his clients, and he should at once ask
for their immediate discharge.
Mr. HARDWICK said perhaps there was no moral
doubt, but that it was a common gambling-house; but he
did not think the evidence sufficient to commit the de-
fendants for the offence they were charged with. The
Act of Parliament was a very severe one, and legal
proof beyond all doubt should be produced before it was
put in force.

The defendants were then set at liberty. Most of them
were very fashionably attired.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Four boys, varying in ages from fourteen to eight
years, were charged with what is commonly termed
" starring the glaze."
The prisoners were observed lurking about shop win-
dows in Gray's Inn-lane, and at length one of them,
Downey, seemed to be struck with admiration at a piece
of machinery in the window of an optical instrument
maker. Ho nailed his:companions to admire the article,
andi whilst they were screening him, he was cutting
away the glass, and succeeded in removing a large
piece ; the alarm was just then given, and they were
secured. They were well stowed with hosiery and hard-
ware, which bore the shop marks, and even with pieces
of beef and pork.
Downey, who looked as broad as a Dutchman, on ex-
amination turned out to have four coats on him.
The prisoners, who are all well known to the police as
a portion of a gang who are the terror of the shop-
keepers of Clerkenwell, were sentened each to a month's
imprisonment.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHA7NTGE-FRIDAy.

We had a full average quantity of English Wheat.
Owing to the millers having well supplied themselves
from the late large arrivals, the demand was very heavy,
and prices wore with difficulty supported. Foreign
Wheats were equally dull, but holders would not submit
to lower figures. There was a good deal of Barley,
both English and Foreign, on sale ; hence the inquiry
for that article was very dull, and the inferior kinds
were is per quarter cheaper. In Malt next to nothing
was doing, and prices were not supported. Oats, Beans,
and Peas were in sluggish inquiry, at late rates.

The supply of Beasts was only moderate, and of very
inferior quality. The best Scots sold freely, at full
prices, but other breeds were a dull sale. From Scot-
land we received 100 Scots, and from Rotterdam 48
Beasts, and 50 Sheep. The number of Sheep were
scanty, owing to which the Mutton trade was firm, and
Monday's quotations were steadily supported, In Calves,
the supply of which was small, next to nothing, was
doing, at barely stationary figures. The Pork trade was
dull, at previous currencies. Milch Cows sold at from
161 to 19110 s each.

Low TIDES. •• Yesterday morning, about ten
o'clock, the. tide fell exceedingly low, and the river had
a very extraordinary appearance in many places. On
the east side of Waterloo-bridge several arches were
completely dry, and the water was not more than thirty
feet across. The steamers had some difficulty in landing
and embarking their passengers at several of the piers,
especially those at Blackfriars and Waterloo bridges;
many of them grounded, and were detained some time.
Opposite Hoppe's wharf the water could be easily waded
across, and numbers of miklarks were engaged in dig-
ging for treasurei •
