CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
One of Wilson's omnibus drivers on the Holloway-
road was charged with furious driving, and thereby en•
dangering the lives of her Majesty's subjects. The
number of the omnibus is 3,811.
Police-constable, 175 N, deposed that on Sunday
morning he saw the omnibus going from Holloway
towards the City. When the prisoner reached the Blue-
coat Boy he began to lash his horses violently, and gal-
loped down the road at the top of their speed, in order
to get before an omnibus in advance of it. This, by dint
of hard driving, he effected. The road was crowded at
the time with persons going to Divine service, and they
were running on to the pavement in order to avoid the
vehicle.

The witness, in answer to a question from the Magis-
trate, said this conduct had become habitual with the
defendant. —lie was fined 11., and costs.

MAR

LBO-KOLTOII--STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Mr, -William Colin Smith,' of No. 10, Victoria-grove,
on the police-sheet) with being drunk and riotous, and
ge.L sington, barrister-at-law, was charged (as entered
assaulting the police.
Police-sergeant John Wells, No. 185 of the C division,
stated that between one and two o'clock this morning,
as he was proceeding on duty through James-street,
Haymarket, he saw the defendant in a very drunken
state holding by some area railings. Two dirty, low
prostitutes were with him ; they took him by the arms,
and were endeavouring to get him away. One of them
seeing witness approach, called out, "Ellen, here's a
-----y peeler coming." He then went up t
the defendant, and acquainted him with the ct,
meter of the company he was in, 1.r.., nhich
the defendant said " You're a d7d,
scoundrel—one of them is my -:.,ife-.,,
The Witness,
having done what he thought '
co be his duty, to put the
-infernal, lying
defendant on his guard - .-' .
against being robbed, was walk-
riollewed him, made use of grossly
ing on, when he

him by t..,e collar ; on which witness took him into
The defendant -was proceeding to cross-examine the
custo-'..y.
witness in a very loud and violent strain, when he was
reproved by Mr. HAnnwien. for his intemperate and
unbecoming mode of conducting himself.
The defendant said that he was perfectly sober. He was,
in fact, returning from a professional consultation. He
was certainly speaking to two very young unfortunate
prostitutes, who had accosted him, soliciting charity.
He gave them a shilling. He had a serious charge of
misconduct against the police, which he should instantly
prefer in the proper quarter.
Mr, iLiapw Ica Asked Inspector Aggi, of the C diril

is a paragraph in the Siecle, which says—" The
Otaheite affair continues to create great anxiety in
the Cabinet, which it threatens with a dissolution.
When Marshal SOULT left Paris for St. Amand, he
openly expressed his disgust at the part it was at-
tempted to make him play in the Ministry. lie since
tendered his resignation, and for nine days together
refused to sign any document. The Council was vir-
tually dissolved. Through a weakness too habitual to
him, the Marshal has withdrawn his •:esignation ; but
he has made his conditions, the principal terms of
which are these—the recal of M. D'AUBIGNY is the
sole satisfaction that shall be yielded to England, and
it shall be clearly explained that he is recalled because
his conduct has been partly disavowed by his supe-
rior, Captain BRUAT." We are inclined to place little
confidence in this statement. No member of the
Cabinet, not even M. GUIZOT, is more anxious for
peace with England than the veteran Marshal. He
has seen enough of war, he is satisfied with
the laurels he so bravely won, and would
be the last to endanger the peace of the
world by any rude conduct towards a country that
he always speaks of with the highest respect. May
there not be some other cause ? Is the Marshal quite
satisfied with the displays made by the Prince DE
JOINVILLE, and by the plans of the. Court to obtain
popularity for the younger branches of the Royal
Family, even at the risk of war ? With the exception
of that mad journal, the National, which talks of
declaring peace to England at St. James's, the journals
are more pacific. Even the Siecle, which is occa-
sionally very warlike, thus professes to wish for
peace :—" The press of London has the good sense
now to acknowledge that our squadrons gave proofs
of intrepidity and skill in the attack upon Mogadore.
It would have been difficult, indeed, this time to
maintain that success was due to the ignorance or
confidence of the Moors in allowing our ships to take
up their positions before firing upon them. As soon
as the squadron was within reach, the Moors
opened their fire, and it was under a brisk cannonade
that all our ships laid themselves in the positions as-
signed to them. Two ships of the line were forced,
by the shallowness of the water, to keep at a distance
of 1,800 metres from the batteries of the enemy, and
it certainly cannot be said that gunners, who at this
distance battered down fortifications, which were
built by Europeans, and defended by the Moors
with the courage of despair, showed a want of skill.
It is proper also to observe that, with the exception of
two men, calling themselves officers on board the
Warspite, but not daring to publish their names,
there is not an English seaman who does not speak in
proper terms of our squadron. Two great nations,
whether friends or enemies, ought always to respect
each other. For our part, whilst we condemn se-
verely the policy of our Government, we have made,
and shall always make it a law, to avoid whatever
might offend the just pride of the British nation."
The following article in the National, to which we
have alluded, we give as a curiosity :
" While we should be making our preparations, Eng-
land would, no doubt, do all in her power to 'obstruct us;
but if the preparations were well directed--if we availed
ourselves with ability of the embarrassments into which
England would be thrown, by having to provide for the
defence of her thousand colonies and her innumerable
merchant ships, to land at Hastings—the English would
be obliged to submit to the law of the conqueror, and in
two days afterwards we should dictate terms of peace at
St. James's. England has but few troops, and perhaps
the least warlike population in Europe. As to commu-
nications with France, an army landed in England would
not need them long, because its campaign would be very
short ; and besides our troops would not, probably, swim
across the Channel, but the transports which carried
them over would be ready to bring them back, after
breaking the yoke of aristocracy under which the people
of England, as well as the greater part of the world
have been made to bend." ,
We subjoin additional extracts from the papers :
A letter from Brussels of the Ist says :—" The repri-
sals ordered against Prussian navigation, relative to the
tolls of the Scheid, had decided the Cabinet of Berlin,
which takes a far greater interest in its provinces in
Northern Prussia than in those of the Rhine, to renew at
Brussels the negotiations so suddenly interrupted in the
month of June. Last night a treaty of thirty articles
was signed by General Goblet and Baron d'Arnim.
This treaty comprehends, in one single convention, stipu-
lations relative to the tariffs, and those which refer to
the advantages of navigation. It is confidently asserted
that Prussia places us in an exceptional position of fa-
vour of 33 per cent. relative to the duties lately imposed
on the entry of foreign iron, whatever quarter it comes
from. This article is the principal point of the new con-
vention. Prussia obtains in compensation definitively the
enjoyment of the treatment of an allied nation in the
Scheid, the repayment of the tolls of this river, the pecu-
liar advantages of bonding in the port of Antwerp, and
Yesterday, some of the servants belonging to the
Tuileries were occupied in the court-yard in loading a
quantity of baggage, without doubt for the journey to
Eu. It appears, however, that the King does not think
of making so long a stay there as he does each year at
this residence. On the contrary, a theatrical representa-
tion is spoken of as being about to be given in the thea-
tre of St. Cloud, which has been just repaired and em-
bellished. The piece to be given is an old opera, called
Raoul de Crequy, by Deleyrac. It was chosen by the
King himself; and is now in preparation."
The Debats contradicts, on the authority of a let-
ter from Italy, the statement that Prince JOSEPH
BONAPARTE had bequeathed 66,000 f. to his brother,
JEROME, ex-King of Westphalia. He left him
simply a snuff-box, as a mark of his affection, and
another to Plitibe Louis. The fortune of JOSEPH,
the latter says, is far from being so considerable as
was stated.

HER MAJESTY'S
SPEECH.

CLOSE OF THE SESSION.

Mr LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
We are commanded by her Majesty, in re-
lieving you from further attendance in Parliament,
to express to you the warm acknowledgments of
her Majesty for the zeal and assiduity with
which you have applied yourselves to the dis-
charge of your public duties, during a laborious and
protracted session.
The result has been the completion of many
legislative measures, calculated to improve the
administration of the law, and to promote the public
wel fare.

Her Majesty has given her cordial assent to the
Bill which you presented to her Majesty for regulat-
ing the issue of Bank Not?s, and for conferring cer-
tain privileges upon the Bink of England for a limited
period.

Her Majesty trusts that these measures will tend
:0 place the pecuniary transactions of the country
upon a sounder basis, without imposing any inconve-
nient restrictions on commercial credit or enterprise.
We are directed to inform you that her Majesty
continues to receive from her Allies and from all
Foreign Powers assurances of their friendly disposition.
Her Majesty has recently been engaged in dis-
cussions with the Goverrment of the King of the
French, on events calculated to interrupt the good
understanding and friendly relations between this
country and France.
You will rejoice to learn that, by the spirit of
justice and moderation which has animated the two
Governments, this danger has been happily averted.
GENTLEMEN or THE HOUSE OF COMMONS,
We are commanded by her Majesty to thank you
for the readiness with which you voted the supplies
for the service of the year.
Her Majesty has observed, with the utmost
satisfaction, that by the course to which you have
steadily adhered in maintaining inviolate the public
faith, and inspiring a just confidence in the stability
of the national resources, you have been enabled to
make a considerable reduction in the annual charge
on account of the interest of the National Debt.
MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
Her Majesty desires us to congratulate you on
the improvement which has taken place in the condi-
tion of our manufactures and commerce, and on the
prospect that, through the bounty of Divine Provi
dence, we shall enjoy the blessing of an abundant
harvest.

Her Majesty rejoices in the belief that on your
return to your several districts you will find gene-
rally prevailing throughout the country a spirit of
loyalty and cheerful obedience to the law.
Her Majesty is confident that these dispositions,
so important to the peaceful development of our
resources, and to our national strength, will be
confirmed and encouraged by your presence and
example.

lire are commanded by her Majesty to assure
you that when you shall be called upon to resume the
discharge of your Parliamentary functions, you may
place entire reliance on the cordial co-operation of her
Majesty in your endeavours to improve the social
condition, and to promote the happiness and content-
ment of her people.

COMMISSIONERS OF BANKRUPTCY.
Lord BROUGHAM, in the course of the morning, moved
for a return of the number of days the Commissioners of
Bankruptcy had sat for the last three months, distin-
guishing the several months ; and also for a return of
the amount of revenue for the Customs of Excise for the
September. In moving for
for

he hoped his Noble and Learned Friend on

Noble Lord stated
the Woolsack would take an early opportunity of remov-
ing one of the greatest grievances which the suitors of
the City of London were subject to, namely, the Com-
missioners of Bankruptcy only sitting for two or three
days at most in a week, crowding twenty-seven or thirty
things into one morning's sitting.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had no authority over
them.
Lord BROUGHAM—Oh yes, you have, by the last Act.
He had great satisfaction in moving for the last return,
as it would show there was an increase at the rate of a
million a year in the Customs. That being the case,
and freight having risen 30 per cent. within the last two
months, such was the admirable and satisfactory state of
regret there should be any people in the world so insane

The LORD CHANCELLOR said that as to the Commis-
sioners of Bankruptcy, they had enough now before
them in deciding questions on his Noble Friend's Bill.
Lord BROUGHAM said the Commissioners chose to
crowd twenty-seven or thirty cases into one morning's
business, in order to get away to their villas in the
neighbourhood of London ; and. as to his Bill, they put
the most wrong and erroneous constructions upon it.

UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Ann Waters and Jane Roberts were charged before
Mr. Cottingham with stealing a diamond pin from Au-
gustus Palfroi, a foreigner.
The complainant, who spoke English imperfectly,
stated that on Tuesday he arrived from Hamburgh, and
the same evening, as he was walking along Fleet-street,
he was accosted by the two prisoners. They spoke of
being in his country, and made themselves so agreeable
that he was at length induced to accompany them over
the bridge to a house near a theatre. At the time he
entered the house he had a valuable diamond pin in his
neck handkerchief, which was admired by the prisoners,
who desired him to be careful of it, or he would
lose it. One of the prisoners (Roberts) then pretended
to fondle with him, and for that purpose clasped her
hands round his neck. Immediately afterwards he
missed his diamond pin, and accused the woman of
taking it. She, however, denied it, and on his threaten.
ing to call the police both the prisoners threatened him
with their vengeance ; but he gave an alarm, a police-
man entered, but the diamond pin was not found, they
having had ample opportunity of getting rid of it.
Mr. CoTTINGII.OI said that it was a very audacious
robbery on a foreigner, and that he should remand the
prisoners, in order that the case might be completed
against them.

RETIREMENT of LORD STANLEY.
No little excitement and conjecture were occasioned
in the House of Commons this afternoon, in the first
instance by the unexpected motion for a new writ for
North Lancashire, in the room of the Right Hon.
Lord Stanley, who has accepted the Chiltern
Hundreds! In answer to a question, however,
from Mr. T. Duncombe, Sir Robert Peel
stated that Lord Stanley would still continue
to hold the seals of the Colonial Secretary. It
is presumed, therefore, that the Noble Lord will be
called up by a patent of creation to the House of
Peers, in the lifetime of his father, the Earl of DERRY,
in order to lead in the Upper House. Notwithstand-
ing the explanation thus afforded by the Premier, the
motion for this new writ appeared to cause consi-
derable sensation among the Members present in
the Commons. We will not stop to state with what
feelings we should have learned the announcement of
this Noble Lords' retirement from office altogether,
but we own to some curiosity for news from the other
constituent of the political Siamese twins, whose union
under the names of STANLEY and GRAii,o4 has always
appeared to us at least as extraordinary as the physical
alliance of their duplicate prototypes.

NEW CONVENT IN LONDON.--FOr the first time
since the Reformation, the order of the sisters of charity
has been established in the metropolis. Eight nuns and
ono novice from the nunnery in Baggot-street, Dublin,
have just arrived here, under the patronage of the Right
Rev. Dr. Griffiths, Roman Catholic Archbishop of
London, and the Roman Catholic nobility. They have
temporarily taken up their residence at No. 32, Queen-
square.
SOUTH DEVON RAILWAT.—The works in the vici-
nity of this city (Exeter) are at length begun in good
earnest—a number of men being daily employed in the
Exwick fields immediately opposite the terminus of the
Bristol and Exeter Railway. An immense mass of rock,
near the town of Dawlish, was blown up on Thursday,
with a charge of 160Ibs. of gunpowder, in the presence
of a vast concourse of the inhabitants of the neighbour-
hood, who had assembled to witness the operation.—
frestern Luminary.
Cum.oiurToN.—The vicar of this place, the Rev.
W. Sykes, met with a serious accident on Friday even-
ing last. Having set down some friends he had been
driving in a pony phaeton, the opening of the door of
the house frightened the ponies, which suddenly started
off, and crossing an open gutter, the suddenness of the
jerk threw him out of' the carriage. Mr. Sykes kept the
reins in his hands, which brought the ponies round upon
him, and they unfortunately trampled upon him, causing
some severe contusions in the head and face. The Rev.
Gentleman was taken up quite insensible, and for several
days was in much danger. We are happy to hear he is
now in a fair way of recovery.— Westen Luminary.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON HIGHGATE-r
HILL. Yester-
day Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Whitting-
ton and Cat, Highgate-hill, on the body of Samuel
George Rogers, aged 35, who, with four other persons,
was knocked down and injured on Sunday night last by
the phaeton of Mr. Joseph S. Murphy, agent to Messrs. Parsons, St. Paul's-churchyard. Mr. Murphy, who was dreadfully injured, was brought into the Court in
the custody of the police. Mr. John Bird, of the Whit-
tington and Cat, said that while in his bar on Sunday
night last he heard a great outcry on the hill. He ran
out instantly, and saw a horse plunging about in a phae-
ton, and the deceased and other persons lying in the
road. The horse reared and struggled until itoke the
phaeton in half ; and after it had galloped off he had an
opportuaity of going to the assistance of the deceased and
the other persons. Deceased he found quite insensible,
and bleeding profusely from a cut on the head. He had
him taken into his house, and attended by a surgeon.
There were four persons then lying in front of his house,
viz., Mr. Murphy, the owner of tbe horse and chaise; Mr.
and Mrs. Bynell, the uncle and aunt, andßebecca Meade,
one of the cousins, of the deceased, The uncle and
aunt were still lying In the house; unable to move
away in consequence of the injuries they had received.
Deceased soon died. In reply to a question from the
coroner, Mr. Murphy stated that no one saw the acci-
dent, and that there was no breeching on the terse, Mr.
Thomas Duckworth, of Finchley, said that Mr. Murphy
dined with him on Ounday, and left him quite sober
about eight (Mock. The mare Was free from vice, and
Mt., Murphy was in the habit of driving It. Mr. Murphy
having been catiilohed EWE t 0 tAy anything to criminate
hitnself; said; that after leaving Mr. Duckworth he wont
on cluietik,until he reetihed the Ilighgate-gate, when the
mare shied at something in the fetid, and galloped on
furiously. Ho was soon thrown out, and became insen-
sible from the effects of the concussion. The jury in-
formed the coi'oieW AM the road was dangerous at the
spot where the accident happened. The injured persons
nitot hate been walking in the road when the horse
rushed along, and the footpath being two feet high they
cotild not get on it before the horse ran against them.
ft would have been almost impossible for them to escape.
'rho jury, after tin hour's consultation, returned a verdict
Cf "Accidental death." Mr. Murphy gave 5Z to the
deceased's widow, find promised to make her a present
of a further sum. He was removed in custody.
FALL IN THE PRICE OF BREAD IN THE METROPO-
Lis.—ln consequence of the favourable accounts received
from the agricultural districts of the promising state of
the harvest, the price of wheat at Mark-lane has fallen
this weck Is. to 2s. per quarter in first quality, and 4s.
to .ss. per quarter on second qualities. The best Kent,
Essex, Norfolk, and Suffolk wheat is at 395. to 565. per
quarter ; flour, fine, 40s. to 455. ; and seconds, 395. to
40s. per sack. The bakers yesterday, in the Black-
friars-road, the New-cut, Westminster, Whitechapel,
Alinories, Bishopsgate, Tottenham-court-road, and other
populous parts of the metropolis, have reduced the 41b.
loaf to Gid.
