PORNION.

Private letters from Bayonne of the 23d state that the
reports relative to the movements of Zurbano are more
contradictory than ever. The authorities on the frontiers
appear to have no positive information concerning him.
We learn from the Hague that the First Chamber of
the States General, in its sitting of the 23d, rejected for
the second time the draft of the address in reply to the
speech from the Throne, as sent up by the Second Cham-
ber for its sanction.
The publication of the intended marriage of the Count
de Jarnac, Secretary of the French Embassy at London,
with the daughter of the late Lord Foley, said to be a
rich heiress, has been posted up at the Mayory of the first ,
arrondissement of Paris.
A letter from Lyons states that the Saone has over-
flowed its banks along its whole course. The Meuse also
had overflowed its banks, and caused great injury to the
urroanding country.
The Journal des Chemins de Fir states that all the pre-
paratory arrangements have been made for the prompt ;
execution of the line from Amiens to Boulogne. 1
M. Chaix d'Est Ange, the Ministerial candidate, was
returned Deputy for Rheims on Sunday by 414 votes.
His opponent, M. Leon Faucher, obtained 344.
According to the Moniteur, the receipts of the Paris
Savings'-bank on Sunday and Monday last, the 24th and
25th inst., amounted to the sum of 689,208 f., whilst the
deposits withdrawn during the same period amounted to
he sum of 740,000 f.
The Sentinelle of Toulon states, that, in order to re-
duce the number of sailors, the Minister of Marine has
desired the Maritime Prefect to discharge all those who
have been six years in actual service of the Government,
and those who can reckon 30 months of such service
since the last levy.
The Swedish Chamber has voted unanimously and
spontaneously an annual sum of 19,000 rix• dollars
(1,9000 for increasing the pensions granted to the ser-
vants of the late King.
A letter from Athens, of the Bth inst., in the Augsburg
Gazette, states that the most perfeeharmony prevails in
the Greek Cabinet, and that it is daily gaining new
strength. General Kalergis, who, it had been said, had
abandoned Athens in consequence of a disagreement
with the Ministry, had returned and resumed his post as
one of the King's aides•de-camp.
We learn from Stockholm, November 12, that in the
sitting of the States on the 11th a communication was
received from the King, announcing aat he approved of
all the changes that they had made in the last session.
It results from these modifications that in future the
Diet will be convoked for three years, and that the
Government is no longer to have the power of its ()an
will to suppress journals which contain articles that are
displeasing to it. On the 12th the Government proposed
to the States a Bill, giving guarantees to the authors of
foreign works against piracy in Sweden, but accompanied
with a condition that similar protection shall be afforded
to Swedish works in the countries of the authors whose
works are protected in Sweden.
LAW AND POMMEL
_

In the Court of Exchequer several verdicts for penal.
,es were obtained by the Crown against persons con-
cealing smuggled tobacco.
The Kent assizes commenced at Maidstone, before
Mr. Justice Williams ; there are forty-two prisoners
for trial. In the course of the day the case of Richard
Dadd, the parricide, was mentioned. It appears that he
has been removed, by order of the Secretary of State, to
a criminal lunatic asylum. Mr. Justice Coltman opened
the; commission of gaol delivery for the county of
Gloucester, where there are sixty prisoners for trial.
fAt the Central Criminal Court, Thomas Bell Jones, a
person of respectable appearance, twenty-seven years of
age, was convicted of having received, in the months of
April and September last, the sums of 211. 195.,8/. Bs, and
81. 10s., for and on aceount of Henry George Bohn, his
master, and that he afterwards secreted, embezzled, and
stole the same. Another indictment charged him with
embezzling three other sums, amounting to 161. 13s. 4d.,
the property of his said master. The prisoner, it ap-
peared, bad endeavoured to make restitution before his
defalcations had been discovered, and had, up to the pre-
sent period, borne an excellent eharacter. The jury re-
commended him to mercy, and the Common Sergeant
sentenced him to eighteen months' imprisonment with
hard labour.
James Owen and James Parker, two lads, aged six-
teen, were convicted for burglariously breaking and
entering the dwelling-house of F. Webster, and stealing
apparel and other goods and chattels therein. Owen was
transported for seven years, and Parker was sentenced
to three months' hard labour, accompanied by a signifi-
cant caution as to the future.
Mr. John Smith, a packing-case-maker, carrying on
business at the corner of Distaff-lane, was brought before
Aldermen Hughes and Hooper, at the Guildhall, charged
with indecently assaulting Sarah Crip, a girl belonging
to the Queenhithe Ward Schools for girls, in Old Fish-
street. The charge having been proved against him he
was fined 5/.
A young man, named John Ogilvie, was committed
from Bow-street, on two separate charges of extort`
money and property from gentlemen by means of inft.-
At Worship-street, Jane Brown was, on a warr:::-,
charged with having attempted to stab James Golding f_
general dealer, living in Wellington-street, Shacklewell.
She owed the prosecutor an account, and, on his asking
for his money, she seized a sword, and rushed upon him.
She was fined 505., and, in default of payment, sentenced '
to six weeks' imprisonment.
Wednesday a respectably-attired young man, about
30 years of age, who gave his name William Brown, and
said that he belonged to Lewes, Sussex, was brought be-
fore Mr. Jeremy, at Greenwich, charged with obtaining
money under false pretences from the Rev. Mr. Sims,
curate of Lee, Blackheath. The prisoner had called on
,the Rev. Gentleman to request pecuniary assistance, and
had told a pitiful tale of his distresses, every word of
which turned out to be false. He was sentenced to one
month's imprisonment with hard labour.
A man and his wife, named Brown, were committed
from the Thames police-office for stealing two copper
bolts, and Thomas Armfield, the keeper of a marine-
store shop in Ropemaker's-fields, Limehouse, was com-
mitted for receiving the same, knowing them to have
been stolen.
