E SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVEN

so honourably re-established between France and
England attests the spirit of wisdom and of conciliation
which animates the two Governments. Thanks to your
concurrence, to the support that you have lent my Go-
vernment, thanks to the stability that the union of
the powers has given to our institutions, our coun-
try, protected by Divine Providence, enjoys that al-
ways-increasing prosperity which constitutes the glory
of my reign, and, if I may be permitted to say it,
my persoaal consolation. And, instead of seeing neigh-
bouring nations fear that the force and power of France
may be employed in the ravages of war or propagation
of revolutionary anarchy, we have inspired them with
just confidence that our resources and our power shall
be for them as for ourselves a pledge of peace and
security.
"I feel much touched with the sentiments that you
have expressed towards my family and myself. Always
devoted to our country, the happiness of my sons con-
sists in being able to serve it ; and their devotedness,
like mine, shall have no other limit but that of our ex-
istence."

His MAJESTY pronounced these last words with
emotion, and a loud cry of Vice le Rol ! imme-
diately arose. The KING, at this manifestation of
feeling, advanced towards the circle of the Deputies,
and added, " I am exceedingly touched with these
acclamations, and with the sentiments you express
towards me. Mine have sprung from my heart,
where yours will remain always engraved."
We have already stated that, on the same day,a de-
putation from the Ministerial meeting, held in the
Rue Richelieu, waited on Marshal SOULT, to express
their determination to support the Government. The
Journal des Debuts gives the following report of the
reply made by the veteran warrior, who, according
to his own words, has been in the service of his
country for sixty-one years. We doubt much if any
one man in France, except SOULT, could say the
same :—" The Marshal replied, in the name of the
Cabinet and his own, with his usual firmness. Ile
assured the deputation that his colleagues would no
more desert than himself. The illustrious Marshal
added, that the weight of affairs and of years would
he lightened by the sentiments of a party such as
that which had just given him proofs of them ; that
he was in the sixty-first year of his service, and that
his glory consisted in devoting to Conservative
opinions all that remained to him of strength and
life." On this reply the Journal des Debuts makes
these remarks :

"The striking and spontaneous demonstration which
the Conservative party has just given to Marshal Soult,
President of the Council of sflinisters' has decided the
question which engrossed every mind. In simplifyir g
the position of the Ministry it has fixed its resolution.
The Cabinet will not retire—Marshal Soult has solemnly
pledged himself, in his own name and in that of his
colleagues. The Conservative majority has exercised its
rights, and done so constitutionally. It has declared
itself without hesitation, and in an unequivocal manner.
It has solemnly declared that there has been no diminu-
tion of its confidence and sympathy for the men who fur
four years have devoted all their efforts, all their
patriotism, all their talents to the re-establishment of
the peace of France and of Europe. It has declared that
the Ministers of the 29th of 3ctober had not ceased to
merit its confidence and that of the country. In pre-
sence of this manifestation, which does equal honour
to the Cabinet and the majority, and for which we must
congratulate ourselves as a guarantee for the future, and
for the progress of constitutional ideas, what wa; the
duty of the Cabinet ? As Marshal Soult has nobly
declared, it would have betrayed all its duties if it had
refused to yield to the urgent wish of its political
friends. It has not hesitated—it has promised to remain
in office, and to defend a standard which has not been
vanquished."
M. TRIERS' journal, the Constitutionnel, on Wed-
nesday, published a list of the majority, with the
places they represent, who voted with the Govern-
ment on Monday, and to make the affair as national
as possible, gives it this heading—" Lisle du Parti-
Pritchard." The Globe returns the complaint by pUb-
fishing an analysis of the minority. According to the
analysis 19 of them are Republicans, five Leg timatists
who performed the pilgrimage of Belgrave-square,
19 Legitimatists who did not perform the pilgrimage,
85 Deputies of the Left, 20 of what the Globe calls
Left Legitimatists, 33 of the LIMNS' party, five
of the DUFA.URE party, seven of the MOLE party,
and 44 of whom the Globe calls the party des Insai-
sissables, at the head of which party it places M.
DunN, making a total of 205. We have no English
word fur the epithet " Insaisissables," applied to M.
DUPIN and his tail, but it is, exactly descriptive of the
tail of a certain obstinate, self-willed, and crotchety
animal, that occasionally affords much amusement at
rustic sports. In reference to the meeting, the
Presse says :—" It was without object, and will re-
main without effect, for the 213 having already given
to Ministers all that they possessed; they had nothing
more to give, and it is not by declaring themselves
exclusive and fully satisfied that the majority of a
party will ever make proselytes, or succeed in bring-
ing back dissenters."
The National states that only 157 Conservative
Deputies were at the meeting, and that with the
twenty-four Deputies who announced their willirig-
ness to subscribe to whatever might be agreed upon,
the total number is only 191, instead of 213, which
was the majority in the Chamber of Deputies. llt
cannot, however, advert to the subject without /an
attempt to rouse the national feeling against England,
and comes to this conclusion :

" There is nothing extraordinary in this manoeuvre.
It is not the first time that ambitious men have caused
themselves to be entreated to retain or accept office.
Without going back further than 1830, our historyls cull
of acts of devotedness of this kind As to the manifesto
which the Pritchard meeting has proposed to put forth
against its adversaries, France will judge. She will Say
whether loyalty and patriotism are on the side of those
who make us pay an indemnity to Mr. Pritchard, or
whether they are not ibtrigans, because we have refused
to humble our country to the man who assassinated our
fellow-citizens at Otaheite."
The following are miscellaneous extracts from the
papers :
"A letter from Copenhagen of Jan. 19, says :—'The
Board of Admiralty has just presented to the King their
annual report on the state of the Danish navy. From
this document it appears that it consists of the following
vessels:-8 ships of the line of 84 guns, 8 frigates of
from 40 to 48, 4 corvettes of 20 to 22, 2 cutters of 20 gum,
4 schooners of 16 to 18, and 4 steamers of 4 to 6 guns—
giving a total of 33 vessels and 100 guns.'
" Another from Christiana, in Norway, 14th inst.,
states that the King was expected to arrive there on
February 6th, accompanied by the Prince Royal and
Prince Gustavus, who in April will go to the University
of Upsal. According to etiquette, the King's Swedish
Court will leave him on his arrival in Norway, and re •
turn to Sweden.
"At a Council held at Berlin on the 16th, at which
the King presided, the line of the intended railroad of
Eastern Prussia was settled. It is to run by Stettin,
Stutgard, Kceslin, Stolpe, Dantzic, Marienburg, Elbing,
Braimsberg, and terminated at Konigsberg. The cost
is estimated at 32,000,000 thalers, which are to be raised
by loan in England ; but this, according to the law in
Prussia, must be submitted to the approbation of the
States• General of the kingdom."

DEATH OF THE MARQUIS OF SLIGO.—The Dublin
Evening Post announces the death of the Marquis of
Sligo, an account of which reached Dublin on Thursday
afternoon. The deceased was born in the year 1788, and
married, in 1816, Lady Hester Catherine de Burgh,
eldest daughter of the thirteenth Earl of Clanricaide.
His Lordship was of liberal political principles, and un-
der the Whigs filled the high office of Governor-General
of Jamaica. He was Lord Lieutenant of the county of
Mayo, and Colonel of the South Mayo Militia. He was
a British Peer, and sat in Parliament as Baron Montea-
gle. The Noble Marquis has left a numerous family
behind him, and is succeeded in his titles and honours

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY )
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE )
CRIMPING PRACTICES.—John Wilcox, a respectable-
looking sailor, was indicted for stealing a pair of shoes.
the property of Henry Hart.
It appeared that the prisoner, who was a sailor, and
had just returned from a very long voyage, and havinz
been paid off, was in possession of a large sum of money,
a portion of which he expended in purchasing clothing
and other necessaries, and went to the house of the pro
secutor, who was a Jew crimp, keeping a lodging house
in Shadwell, where he stopped for one night, but not
liking his accommodation he determined upon leaving,
and immediately upon saying so the prosecutor gave him
in custody for stealing a pair of shoes, which the police
upon searching for found in an open cupboard in the
prosecutor's sitting-room. The other testimony which
was adduced for the prosecution was equally weak and
inconclusive,
_and the jury, without a moment's hesita-
tion, acquitted the prisoner—the foreman intimating that
it was the opinion of himself and his fellow jurors that
there was not the slightest foundation for the charge
against the prisoner.
The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE said he had seldom,
during his long experience, met with a more scandalous in-
stance of false accusation against an innocent man than
the present.. Indeed it was a matter of doubt to him
whether the accuser ought not to be indicted for a con-
spiracy. It was evident that the prisoner had been
given into custody merely for spite, on account of leav-
ing the lodgings.
Mr. BALLANTINE said he feared that in many ii.stances
the crimps up towards the eastern parts of the metropolis
were ir.fluenced by far worse motives in bringing charges
against some of the unfortunate sailors who fell into
their hands. It was well known that when a sailor was
about starting on a voyage, these wretch( s were in the
habit of bringing some potty and unfounded charge of
felony against them, in order that they might get money
out of them to forego the charge, in order that they
might not lose the ship.
The COURT fully concurred in the opinions expressed
by the Learned Counsel.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
James Whitbread, a well-dressed youth, was com-
mitted for trial on the following charge :
A barman in the employ of Mr. John Thompson, of
No. 381, OxfOrd-street, licensed victualler, was, about
nine o'clock last evening, proceeding along Crown-
street, Seven Dials, with a dozen of wine in a basket,
when the prisoner came behind him, and very adroitly
took out one of the bottle-. The barman-, feeling his
load suddenly lightened, turned round, and saw the
prisoner with the bottle in his hand ; finding he was
detected, he dashed the wine agait.st a post, and broke
the bottle. The prisoner made no defence.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Jane Mahony was brought up on a charge of stabbing
John Mahony, her husband, a mechanic, living in Tin-
dal's buildings, Gray's Inn-lane.
The prosecutor, who had several cuts on his face, and
a severe one on his hand, deposed that on the previous
night, his wife coming home much intoxicated, he remon-
strated with her ; she seemed to bear his remonstrance
very patiently, and sat down quietly at the fire, but sud-
denly starting up. she knocked him down and kicked him.
He rose, when she ran fur a chisel, which lay upon a
table, and aimed a desperate blow at his face, which he
guarded off, seized the weapon, and with much difficulty
wrested it from her. She then seized a knife, and made
a thrust at him, which he parried off, but a second plunge
buried the point of the knife in his hand, which he placed
to guard his chest. He escaped out of the room crying
" murder," and she wreaked her fury upon the furniture,
having smashed to atoms every single thing in the place.
The virago having no answer to make, was committed.

MARYLEBONE VESTRY. ,
(THIS DAY.)
At a meeting of the above Vestry, this day, !the
Vestry Clerk called the attention of the Vestry to a
report of a Committee, appointed to take into considera-
tion the answer given by a Committee of Magistrates to
a memorial of the Board and Vestry, on the subject of
equal assessment of the county rate in the several
parishes. The following is an abstract of this report:—
" That the ground of complaint is admitted by the
magistrates, who state, however, that an appeal against
any under-rated parish is the proper course to be pursued
by any other parish supposed to be injured, which state-
ment our Committee repudiate, on this ground—that
any such appeal is liable to be rendered useless by the
technicalities of law. Therefore your Committee would
not recommend an appeal. But the magistrates further
state, that they have the power to order a regular survey
to be made, pursuant to the statue 55 Geo. 111., cap. 5.
" Your Committee consider it to be the duty of the
magistrates, just cause of complaint being shown, to
order this survey, and not to advise individual parishes
to appeal.
" Your Committee, therefore, recommend that a me-
morial be forwarded by this Board, calling on the
magistrates to enforce such survey, as by law directed.
(Signed) " GEO. DANNIELL, Chairman."
After a short discussion, it was proposed and seconded
" That this report be accepted std acted upon."
The motion was carried unanimously.
