FOREXON.

The Messager states that the Duke d'Autnale is ex-
pected at Neuilly within a few days, the Queen having
expressed an anxious desire to see him, and the present
tranquil state of Algeria permitting his absenoe from

Constantine.
Captain Bouet, immediately after his arrival at Paris,
went on to Neuilly with letters from the Prince de Join-
vile to the Queen, which the Captain was charged to
deliver into her Majesty's oven hand.
Hussein Bey and Achmet Bey, the Egyptian Princes,
were presented to the King at Neuilly on baturay.
The grand military manuvres commenced at Mete
on the 28th ult. The day being very fine, an immense
multitude had assembled to witness them. The Dukes
de Nemours and de Montpeniier were loudly cheered.
General Baron Tavernier, one of the most distinguished
officers of the Republic and the Empire, died last week
at Colmar, aged 76.
The Toulonnais repeats the rumour about the inten-
tion of the Government to appoint the Duke d'Aumale
Governor-General of Algeria, and says it has reason to
believe that this will take place before the end of the
present month.
The last accounts from Gibraltar represent the health
of Mr. Drummond Hay to be in an alarming state, from
the fatigue and anxiety he has experienced in his lats..
mission to Morocco.

The Paris Globe states that M. Mauguin is about to
proceed in a few days to Madrid, to urge the claims of
the French creditors on the Spanish Gownment. lie
will act in concert with the English Commissioners, for
the purpose of having the claims of the creditors of this
two countries attended to.

We learn from Tilsit that the river Niemen has again
become flooded, raising the level to 15 feet. On the
20th ult., the bridge of boats was broken through by a
large beam brought down by the torrent, so that al
communication between the two banks was prevented.
The railroad between Nuremburg and Bamberg, is
Bavaria, was opened on the 25th ult. The train ran the
16 French leagues in 1 hour and 33 minutes.
The Toulonnais of the 29th ult., states that, since tha
organisation of hospital-stoemers for the transport di
sick soldiers from Algeria, the deaths during the passag
have not been more than one in four hundred. Frog&
October 1839 to July 1 of the present year, 7,917 s
were embarked for France, and of these only nine
died on the way.
Nearly all the standards taken at the battle of Isly are
of silk, richly embroidered with gold, and bearing sen-
tences from the Koran. One of them, which is of white
ground, has the following inscription :—" There is no
other God than God, and Mahomet is his prophet. If
God pleases, the holy war must triumph." The parasol
of the son of ege Emperor is of red silk, worked with
gold and siver.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

INSOLVENT 65thT, Sept. 3.
Upwards of three weeks has now elapsed since the
last sitting of this Court, and the cause lists presented
marked evidence of the diminution of business in this
Court since Lord Brougham's new Act has come into
operation. During an equal period previous to the
passing of this Act the average number of causes was
from 150 to 160, whilst now the number of persons
seeking liberation under the head of town bail was only
20 ; under the head of country bail 23 names appeared ;
and there were only three adjourned cases to be heard,
making in all only 46 applicants; thus showing a falling
off of nearly two-thirds.

NEW SPORTING MAGAZINE.

Among the literary articles in the present Number,
the most sensible, if not the most entertaining, are
some remarks suggested by the Reports of the Com-
mittees on Gaming, which seems to be written by
one who is thoroughly conversant with the bearings
of the subject on which he expatiates. Of the two
sporting embellishments, the cleverest is one entitled
" September," which represents a sportsman reclining
at his ease on a bank, after the fatigue of a day's
shooting.

SPORTING MAGAZINE.

We have here two engravings, each, of course,
illustrative of a sporting subject—the one represents
two men setting out with their guns, and dogs, and
ponies, on a shooting excursion to some neighbouring
moors ; and the other, an angler fishing for salmon
in a broad, shallow, mountain stream, just below a
bridge which spans he water, and has a picturesque
back-ground of wood and mountain. Both plates are
skilfully executed. Among, the literary cintents,
appears a lively article, descriptive of a visit paid by
the writer to the Marquis of Waterford's and the
Earl of Shannon's hounds.

could not see what inconvenience could possibly
arise from taking a verdict upon such count, and
passing sentence only upon those counts which were
good. He understood that Mr. Baron Rolfe had
passed sentence in an indictment for murder in whic!-I
one count was bad, but in such a cafe no practical
difficulty would arise, as where one felony was proved
it was sufficient to support a verdict of guilty, and
it could never be worth the while of a person con-
victed of felony on one good count to sue out a writ
of error. But in cases of misdemeanour it was very
different, for according to the present loose system of
drawing up indictments, a pleader having drawn one
good count, might go on drawing other counts,
each increasing in vagueness and ambiguity, until he
involved the party indicted in such perplexity, that
there would be the greatest difficulty in ascertaining
of what he was accused. There could be no difficulty
in taking a verdict of acquittal, or entering a nolli
prosequi on the counts that were bad, and passing
judgment only on those that were good.
It had been said by the learned judges, with the ex-
ception of Justice Patteson, on the good counts only,
and not on the three, bad ones ; and yet, those counts
contained the most serious charges, including that of
creating discontent in the army. Now, could their
Lordships concur in the incredible fiction,
that the judges, having the general verdict,
so far neglected their duty as to overlook
those grave charges? He would remind their
Lordships that they were not bound by the opi-
nion of the majority of the judges. The appeal was
not from the Irish to the English judges, but to that
Chamber, in the exercise of one of its most important
functions, which he hoped their Lordships would
long continue to exercise for the benefit of the coun-
try and the protection of its liberties.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then put the question thus
—ls it your Lordships' pleasure that the judgment
be reversed ?

Lords Denman, Cottenham, and Campbell said
" Content."

Tnz SPANISH LEGION.-IN RE CHARLES MORRIS KING,

In this case the insolvent had been an agent to the
Spanish Government to negotiate with respect to the
claims of those unfortunate soldiers who had served in
Spain during the late war :under General Evans. The
greater number of the names which appeared in the
schedule were those of persons who had, by right of ser-
vitude in the Spanish army, or on account of wounds,
became entitled to pensions.
Mr. CooKE supported the insolvent, who was opposed
by Mr. Thomas and Mr. Symes on behalf of the body of
the creditors.

The grounds of opposition were, that the insolvent
had in his capacity of agent, received several sums of
money from the Spanish Government, on account of the
pensions due to the various opposing creditors, and
which moneys he appropriated to his own use.
Owing to the negotiations going on with the English
Government, respecting the demands of the officers and
soldiers of the Spanish Legion and the Spanish Govern-
ment, the case was one of great intricacy, and the coun-
sel for the insolvent having stated to the Court that there
•were negotiations now going on between the parties and
the Government of this country, by which some arrange-
ments would be effected,
The Learned COHNISSIONER considered that under
the circumstances it would be better to adjourn the case
for a time.--The case was accordingly adjourned to the
18th inst.
IN RE SARAH CLAYWORTII.

The insolvent was in custody at the suit of the op-
posing creditor, in whose favour a verdict for damages
to the amount of 1501. had been returned against her for
defamation: The insolvent now applied to be liberated
on bail until her final hearing.
The CIIIEF COMMISSIONER said, that in this case
there were obvious grounds for a remand. In all such
cases he disapproved of allowing the parties to go out
on bail, and he should accordingly reject the present
application. The insolvent, who, appeared to be an aged
woman, was taken back to prison.

MARKET NE WS.-( THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY.
Notwithstanding the arrivals of English Wheat have
been very limited since our :last report, the demand for
that article was in a very sluggish state ; aid when sales
were pressed, lower prices were accepted for,the middling
and inferior qualities. So little was doing in Foreign
Wheat, both for and in bond, that the rates were almost
nominal. Barley and Malt met a very strong inquiry,
and prices were barely supported. Oats, Beans, Peas,
and Flour, was quite as dear.

FOREIGN PROVISION SALE.

The tariff of Sir Robert Peel is beginning to work
well for the lower and middle classes. An adver-
tisement in our yesterday's paper announced that a
public sale of hams, pork, ox tongues, smoked beef,
family beef, and sausages, with Irish salmon, and
undressed turtle, would take place this day, at No. 2,
Monument-yard, by Messrs. Keeling and Hunt, the
enterprising caterers of those generous viands with
which our transatlantic brethren tempt the English
appetite. We were tempted, like many of our me-
tropolitan brethren, to wend our way to the epicurean
shades of the "vulgar East," in order to ascertain
what "Heaven had in store for us." To the courtesy
of "the firm," we are indebted for much informa-
tion ; but as a mere analysis of it would occupy a
greater space than we can possibly afford to give, we
must content ourselves by assuring our very good
friend, " the public," that its time will not be mis-
used if it attends at this very important sale.

exception, comprises the whole offence, with all
its attributes, as variously laid in the other ten
counts. This eleventh count, in fact, describes a
crime which could receive no aggravation whatever
from the most ennr!eff. finding- of the oth^r ten.
To even mention it would, of course, be fatal to
the whole of our Contemporary's argument, which
goes upon the hypothesis suggested, we regret to
say, by Mr. Baron Parke, that the several counts of
the indictment charge either separate offences, or at
least the parks integrantes of one offence, or more;
and by consequence, that the judgment pro-
nounced upon the convicted culprit must be
taken as compounded of modicums of pu-
nishment proportioned to the guilt imputed by
the counts severally. Now, with all respect for the
Morning Chronicle and Mr. Paron Parke, we contend
that this hypothesis is wholly untenable. The
counts of an indictment do not charge different
offences, or parks integrantes of one offence or more.
Each count is a substantive indictment per se, and
whatever their number, these counts all
charge but one and the same offence—
they charge that offence in different aspects,
and in varied terms, in order to meet all the possi-
ble chances of a trial. A different hypothesis leads
to the absurdity of supposing that when
a grand jury presents an indictment containing
several counts, twenty-three gentlemen upon their
oaths falsely assert that several offences have
been committed, where, in fact, there has been but
one; and it may be worthy of Baron Parke's con-
sideration to get out of this difficulty, and to reflect
whether the intervention of the grand jury does not
wholly destroy his fanciful analogy between civil
and criminal cases in this respect. But if the
counts of an indictment are, as the truth is,
but multiplied descriptions of one and the same
offence, it is obvious that the punishment due to the
offence is neither augmented nor diminished by the
number of these descriptions that may be found de-
fective or sufficient, accurate or inaccurate. It is
precisely the same thing whether a party be convicted
upon one sufficient and accurate description or upon
fifty.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1844.

The questions referred to the House of Lords on
the Irish State Trials may now be regarded as settled.
The Judges have given their opinions ; they are unani-
mous, with the exception of the two Tory Judges, but,
of course, they will have no influence with the House
of Peers. Baron PARKE is an excellent Judge, though
it is singular that, in two important questions, he has
chosen to differ from his colleagues—men of the first
eminence in the law, and the majority of them never
suspected either of partiality or defect of legal know-
ledge. It is, however, a good set-off. The Tories are
trying to make themselves popular in Ireland, and these
Judges may possibly imagine that this opposition to
the verdict of their colleagues may have a good effect.
They arc miserably mistaken. Two out of nine or
ten are nothing. They know well that the House of
Lords will pay every attention to their opinion, but
at,the same time say, " We must be guided by the
general decision, and the Writ of Error must be nega-
tived. It has altogether been a most bungling busi-
ness. The Judges, according to the Writ of Error,
had no means of judging the most important points.
They had only some extraneous matters of law to de-
cide, and with the usual technicality of the profession
they confined themselves to mere dry details, without
entering upon the question of justice or injustice. Mr.
O'CoNmates fate, however, is now sealed. The House
of Lords, which meets this day, will discuss the subject.
We shall hear speeches from Lord BROUGHAM, Lord
DENmAN, Lord LYNDHURST, and Lord CAMPBELL;
possibly some of them of great and unnecessary
length ; but, whatever they say, the result will be
this—the Writ of Error is negatived, so that after a
great display of justice, and an appeal against a sen-
tence in full operation, Mr. O'CoNNzu, and his
friends will find themselves in the position in which
they were left by the fighting Irish Attorney.
General and the bigoted Irish Bench. what Sir
ROBERT PEEL may do is a question of futurity, and
of little importance. He may advise her -MAJESTY to
remit the remainder of the sentences, to which her
MAJESTY was from the beginning opposed; but wi

that conciliate the Irish, or compensate for any one of
the grievances of which they justly complain ? Mr.
O'CoNNALL will issue from his prison only to he more
worshipped.

We should have thought that at this time of day no
man, or set of men, could be found to uphold the jus-
tice, expediency, or morality of the punishment of
debt by imprisonment. We advert, of course, to the
general and abstract question. For ourselves, we are
as far from contending that in cases where debts have
been contracted with a dishonest purpose—where an
Unprincipleii design has obviously been formed by col-

of importation. It is in solid blocks, weighing from one to two hun-
dred pounds each, and is as clear as crystal ; it can be sent to any
distance, with very trifling waste ; and is used for a variety of pur-
poses that English Ice cannot be applied to.
W. L. has imported some PROVISION SAFES from America, for
the use and comfort of Private Families—

The REFRIGERATOR, or (so sometimes designated) a Miniature
Ice-house. This is a new and useful article of furniture, rapidly
coming into use in northern and southern climes; it is designed to
keep cool and sweet such dishes in the culinary department as are
necessary to be protected from the heat of the weather during the
summer season. _ _ .

The Refrigerator is now considered an indispensible article in the
economy of every good housewife ; the quantity of food it protects
from the weather will more than pay the cost of the article in
one year.

Spencer's Chinese Liquid Hair Dye, pronounce it to be the only Dye
extant which will effectually change. in a few minutes, red or grey
hair to a dark brown or black, and it can be proved incontestibly

grey hair, whiskers, eyebrows, moustaches, &c., are changed without
trouble, by simply using a comb wetted with the liquid; one applica
tion will produce a pleasing and a permanent change. The colour
it imparts to the hair can never be discovered to have been ef.
fected by dye, it being so perfectly natural, and wither washing, per-
spiration, or anything will in the least fade or affect the colour pro.
duced. Hundreds of ladies who wore false hair, because their own
became grey, wear new their own. Also, thousands of gentlemen
who had grey or red whiskers, w hich was a great disfigurement, have
become quite dark from the use of SPENCER'S CHINESE LI-

MARLBOROUGH-S7REET.

Martha Lipscontbe, the young woman who at-
tempted to commit suicide by drowning herself in the
Serpentine last week, and who had been sent to pri-
son for a week in the hope that a short confinement
would produce in her a proper sense of her heinous
offence, was on Friday brought before Mr. Maltby
for further examination.

The young woman, who apparently had not been
able to command her intractable temper, said all she
wished now was to get her clothes and her character
from her last place, and go into the country away from
her sisters, whom she never wished to see or speak to
again.
Mr. MALTBY said she did not appear to show a
proper feeling towards her sisters, the married one
having even ran into debt to keep her when out of

place.
The girl replied that was true, but she had always
repaid her sister as soon as she got in service.
Mr. MALTBY inquired if she now repented of her
wicked attempt on her own life ?—The girl said she
would not tell a falsehood about the matter. She did
not repent of what she had done.
Mr. MALTBY said Le had hoped that a few days'
imprisonment would have produced in her a better
state of feeling ; but he found that no beneficial effect
en her mind had been produced. The attempt on her
life which she had made rendered her liable to be sent
for trial for the offence.

The girl said that she would promise thus far, that
she never would attempt to take away her life on ac-
count of a stupid boy. It was because she had been
knocked abaut by this boy, and treated with con-
tempt by her sisters, that she had attempted to destroy
herself.
The sister said the defendant had never been ill-
treated by any one. It was her violent and intractable
temper which was her only enemy.
Mr. MALTBY said he could not think of discharging
the girl after what he had just heard. He should re-
mand her for another week, and then determine how
he would dispose of the case.
An elderly man, of extremely respectable appear-
ance, who gave the name of John Williams, but who
refused to say what he was, or where he lived, was
charged with stealing two books, worth 15s. 6d.,
from the shop of Mr. Sharp, book-dealer, No. 14,
St. Martin's-court.

George Young, shopman, said he saw the prisoner
watching the shop in the morning. About seven
o'clock in the evening he saw the prisoner come to
the window in which the books were placed, and take
down the books and put them on a shelf. The pri-
soner went away, but returned almost immediately,
and took up the books, placed them under his coat,
and walked away. Witness followed and stopped him
in the street with the books in his possession.
The prisoner, who was very reserved during the
whole of the proceedings, declined to say anything,
and was fully committed.

MAI?I'LEBOA E.

On Friday, Count Grabouski, residing at No. 11,
Bentinck-terrace, Regent's-park, was charged by
Fitzgerald, 178 D, who stated that on the previous
night, about twelve o'clock, he found the prisoner
drunk in Oxford-street. He was reeling from one
side of the pavement to the other, and as he seemed
incapable of taking care of himself; witness conveyed
him to the station-house.

The Count—l was not drunk ; what you state is all
false. _ _ _ _

Ovenden, 80 D, here stepped forward and said that
the prisoner was quite drunk when charged at the
station. Prisoner ordered the first witness to fetch
him a cab, and exclaimed, "You rascal, what did you
bring me here for ?"
The Count (emphatically)—There's not a single
word of truth in what he says, and I can produce
witnesses to prove that I was quite sober.
Mr. LoNG—Are any of your witnesses here ? The
Count—No, Sir, but I could produce them if I had
the opportunity of sending for them.
Mr. LONG—You are called a Count, and I suppose
you are one ? The Count—Yes, I am, Sir.
Mr. LONG—The evidence against you has not been
disproved; and, for your drunkenness, you are fined
five shillings.
Count Grabouski, who seemed very much incensed,
exclaimed—" If this case appears in the newspapers,
I shall prosecute the two constables for a breach of
the peace."
Caroline Berry and Elizabeth Phasey were placed
at the bar, before Mr. Long, for further examination
charged with having been concerned in stealing
articles of jewellery, &c., valued at nearly 4001., the
property of John Goldie, Esq., 39, Baker-street,
Portman-square.
The particulars of what previously transpired
appeared at some length in our paper of Monday last.
Some additional evidence was gone into, and the
prisoners (for one of whom Mr. Woolf, from the
office of Mr. Flower, Hatton-garden, attended) were
remanded till Thursday next.
On Thursday afternoon, Michael Lee, who, on
Tuesday last, was charged at this Court with having
murdered his wife by drowning her in the Paddington
Canal, was again brought up, after the termination of
the Coraner's inquest, by whom a verdict of "Found
drowned" was returned. He was discharged, with
an understanding that he was liable to be re-appre-
hended in the event of the officers pusse3sing them •
selves, at any future period, of more conclusive evi-
dence against him.

The imports of Wool during the week have been but
moderate, they having consisted of 700 bales from Port
Phillip, 145 ditto from Spain, 147 ditto from Turkey,
100 ditto from Germany, and 100 ditto from other
quarters. As most of the large dealers have now be-
come well in stock, the demand by private contract for
both English and foreign Wools is extremely inactive,
and prices are barely supported.
