LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1844.

The Irish journals are still full, as might be ex-
pected, of the subject of Repeal, and some even of
those which advocate Tory, or rather Ministerial
opinions, candidly acknowledge the rapid progress
which the question has recently made among men of
all parties. Mark the significant language of the
Drogheda Conservative !—" In proportion as the Pro-
testants become divided and disgusted with English
ingratitude, the cause of Repeal advances with giant
strides. For we must not in candour pass over the
many respectable Protestants who have lately joined
the Association, nor overlook the number who
are Repealers in their hearts, and who are
only restrained from the avowal by fear
of the contempt of their party. Every
man of judgment must be aware that a change of
things is inevitable ; we cannot return to the polity of
former years, neither can we remain stationary, for
the people are endowed with a power which they
seem determined to use to the utmost. A change,
then, being inevitable, it becomes the bounden duty of
all to consider how such can be brought about with
the least Possible injury. Repeal would create Romish
ascendancy--Federalism lead to dissension, and ulti-
mately to Repeal—therefore the assembly of the Bri-
tish Parliament in Ireland every three years is the
safest and surest remedy for the evils with which we are
threatened." The language of the above passage is
of more than ordinary import, when we consider the
quarter whence it emanates. Conceive a l'ory journal
—and Toryism is nowhere so obstinate, bigoted,
and immitigable as in Ireland—deliberately con-
fessing that the policy of former years can no longer
be maintained, and that a change is inevitable! Why,
this is virtually surrendering the first great principle
of Irish Toryism—an abhorrence of innovation ! It
is not only giving up the outer line of ramparts, but
the very citadel itself into the hands of
the enemy ! If change be " inevitable,"
away goes the long-cherished Tory theory
of political immutability, and the entire I
fabric falls with a stunning crash to the ground. But
ten—nav, but five short years ago—who would have
believed that a journal like the Drogheda Conserva-
tive would have openly acknowledged the defeat of its

party, and that the policy which it had pursued with
inflAible consistency for the best part of half a cen-
tury, could no longer be persisted in ? Having once
been brought to confess their humiliation and admit
the sad necessity of change, the Irish Tories will
henceforth be far from stiff or unyielding in their
convictions ; and we should not be at all surprised,
were they—under the combined influence of
disgust and despair—to become just as zealous
innovators as they once were the reverse.
Ce n'est que le premier pas qui coute. It
is the first step only that is the great difficulty.
When once that has been taken, and the deep-rooted
prejudices of years surrendered, a rapid progress fol-
lows almost as a matter of course. CESAR never
halted after he had passed the Rubicon. It was on
its banks he paused, hesitating whether or not to cross
it. In admitting that change is inevitable, the Tories
have already crossed the Rubicon, and as to go back
is impossible, and to halt where they now are, is only
to cover themselves with ridicule, and exhibit their
weakness in the most pitiable light, who can doubt
that they will press fiercely onward ? We quite
agree with our Drogheda Contemporary that "Fede-
ralism would lead ultimately to Repeal"—and will
even go further, and state our firm conviction, that
Repeal would not merely be the ultimate, but that it
would be the immediate consequence of such a tame,
shilly-shally, inefficient measure. A Federal Parlia-
ment would not have been three months in existence,
before the excited masses of the Irish population,
finding that it could do little or nothing, where in
the wildness of their hopes they had expected
it would do everything, would regard it with feelings
of the most sovereign contempt, and clamour more
vehemently than ever for a Repeal of the Union—that
is to say, for a dismemberment of the empire, for the
two things are synonimous. As respects the project
of a triennial Parliament in Dublin, of which the
Drogheda Conservative approves, our objection to
this scheme is not so much that it is dangerous, as that
it is impractable. The Court—the Law—the Aris•
tocracy—and all that vast body of traders who live by
ministering to the fashionable tastes of the day—all these
must of necessity follow in the train of the Parliament ;
and once in every three years, London must consent
to become a second-rate metropolis, and see her su-
premacy transferred to Dublin. But the inconveni-
ence of the project would not stop here. As a matter
of course, Scotland would insist—why should she
not ?—on a Parliament being held every three years
in Edinburgh ; and seeing how successful agitation
had been in Ireland, she would begin to play the same
game on her own account, and thus we should have
the national jealousies which have been laid aside for
years revived with all their ancient acrimony.

It is a praise always to be conceded to our
brethren of Scotland, that their opinions on all great
questions of domestic policy and interest are eminently
entitled to respect and consideration. The sober,
and usually accurate, judgment at which they arrive,
when such matters become the subjects of general
discussion, seems to be the result of a certain intuitive
sagacity—sharpened and expanded by the sound
elementary education so largely diffused among them.
It is seldom that we have had to note exceptions to
this rule. When they do occur, therefore, they are
the more startling, by their contrast with the ordinary
course of those recorded views which have challenged
our observation. Now, one of these exceptions, we
must fairly own, we identify with the general de-
meanour of the Scottish public throughout the whole
of the proceedings and debates that ensued, in Eng-
land, on the introduction by Sir ROBERT PEEL, last
session, of the Bank Charter Renewal Bill. Whilst
it was still uncertain whether—or rather, whilst it
was still assumed that—the Premier did propose to
extend the application of his ill-conditioned measure
to Scotland, the laid spirit of Sir Mungo Malgrow-
, ther was raised, and walked abroad again. All the
North was up in arms against the apprehended de-
scent of the wrong-headed First Lord of the Trea-
sury on a system, under which all Scotland had
prospered, from its first establishment, just a century
and a half ago, down to 1844, in the extension of its
agriculture and its commerce, and the steadily increas-
ing opulence and enterprise of its people. Sir ROBERT
—if his words were intended to carry their ordinary
acceptation—had, most undoubtedly, in *tie of those
didactic prosiectiones with which he favoured the
House of Commons before bringing in his Bill, inti-
' mated his intention to apply it to the Northern as well
as the Southern division of Great Britain. But the
wily " manager" soon found, from very unmistakeable
indications of gathering displeasure, that he must not
attempt the twofold experiment; that the discreeter,
if not the more generous and open—part, would be,
to secure one victim at time. an,i b y allowing the
other to look on unscathed, for a season, the better
seduce him into a delusive belief of his own security
from a similar fate. Sir ROBERT, therefore, at first
jesuitically replied to a brief and distinct question—
, that it was not, at present, intended to apply the ope-
ration "of the Bill to Scotland and its Banks." The
bait was seized. The opposition of the Scotch
cooled down to a passive indifference to the fate of
the English banks, and this indifference enured, even
after the Premier, having " dispatched the business"
of the latter, announced, with some degree of un-
guarded triumph, " that, in the ensuing session, he
would move Parliament to enact a similar treatment
for Scotland." With these circumstances fresh in
our memory, we cannot concur with the Morning Post
in holding that, " in their attention to all matters con-
'fleeted with the currency of their country, the Scotch
set an example to the English which the latter would
do well to follow." And when our Contemporary
affirms that if the public, here, were as much alive as
the Scotch•are " to the interests of the country as in-
fluenced by the currency, they might have escaped
the fatal consequences which are likely to arise from
the operation of the recent Bank Charter Act," we
beg to remind him, that, to the selfish and erroneous
holding back, which we have described, of the Scotch
banking interest, must be mainly ascribed the issue of
that fruitless, but prompt struggle, which the English
banking interest sustained against the pretensions of
the Bill in question.
It is a more pleasing duty, now, to notice a step in
a better direction, taken by a county meeting, on this
new Bank Act, which was held at Edinburgh on
Tuesday last. At that meeting (where, by the bye,
Sir GEORGE CLERK WO3 present, and, for aught that
appears, not dissenting) certain resolutions, condemna-
tory of any interference with the existing banking
system in Scotland, were brought forward by Sir
GrnsoN CRAIG, Bart. (father of the Hon. Member of
that name who sits for Edinburgh). These reaolu•
tions we publish in another column. A very brief
summary of their more salient points will awaken in
our readers the same conviction which the resolutions
have excited in us—that the mind of Scotland is once
more keenly awake to the dangers to be apprehended
from that most rash and uncalled-for tampering with
the representative capital of the kingdom, which they
so emphatically denounce. No. 1 declares that the
Scottish system, which has been carried on ever since
1695, with the addition of 11. notes since 1704, has
met with the cordial support of all classes, especially
the agricultural and commercial community of Scot-
land. No. 2 affirms, that no adequate reason has been
assigned for the projected interference with a system
which has worked thus advantageously for all parties.
No. 3 illustrates the perfect stability and security of
the banks, at present in operation in Scotland with
their paid-up capital of, in the aggregate, 12,000,0001.,
and their circulation, little exceeding 2,800,0001. No.
4 raises a strong argument to prove that, with this
very moderate circulation as compared with paid-up
capital, gold, which is scarcely known in the circula-
tion of the country, is not required either by the
habits of the people, or to supplement the peculiar
mode which obtains among them of operating on cash
accounts ; a mode which has actually diminished the
currency, coincidently with the numerical increase of
Scottish banks. No. .5 shows that the bank-note cir-
culation of Scotland is much less than that of Eng-
land, whether in proportion to the population or the
general business of the country; and No. 6, that the
Scottish circulation " has no direct dependence on
foreign exchanges, but varies with the demands of trade,
or with the regular recurrence qf terms and great cattle
markets." (Would to GOD that Sir ROBERT PEEL
could have digested plain practical good sense like
this, instead of experimenting on the analogous case
of the English circulation, with the crotchetty nos-
trums of the bullionists, and of his own financial pe-
dantry !) No. 7 sets forth some local reasons of
peculiar force why the change from a paper to a
bullion circulation in Scotland would be attended i
with WA-the vexation to the people, besides being

utterly unnewsary. No. 8 suggests the utter failure
of general accommodation which would ensue, in
Scotland, on the withdrawal of bank-notes below 51.;
seeing that paper of the lower denominations forms
nearly three-fifths of the whole circulation of Scot-
land; and it demonstrates, on the other hand, the in-
calculable benefit which the existing system has pro-
duced, by developing all the great resources of that
country. No. 9 ably concludes these pleas for the
continued maintenance of that system, by the remark
that it has stood the tests of the rebellions of 1715
and 1745, of the crisis produced by the French Re-
volution, of the panic in England of 1825, of the great
failures among us in 1837, and the critical period of
1839-40. We are delighted to perceive that the re-
presentatives of the whole "county interest," as it is
called, of Scotland, are instructed to give their vigor-
ous support, in Parliament, to representations and
remonstrances of this kind against the extension of
the Bill of last session to Scotland. Should these be
successful, it will of course be telt that what is thus
bad for Scotland, cannot be good fur England and
Wales, or for Ireland; and so we may hope for the
repeal of the Premier's most obnoxious legislation of
1844 on banking.

The Madrid Gazette, of the 30th ult., announces
an interview on the 23d between the QUEEN and a
deputation from the province of Guipuzcoa. Don
PEDRO DE ARANA thus addressed her MAJESTY :

" Madam,—Circumstances, independent of my will,
have hitherto prevented my expressing to you the feel-
ings of respect and profound gratitude which the feral
deputation of your very faithful province of Guipuzcoa,
re-established by your royal decree of the 4th of July
last, commissioned me, on the 26th of the same month,
to convey to your Majesty. This deputation, Madam,
is the same that governed the country in the fatal month
of October, 1841. Faithful to your Majesty and to your
august mother, it nobly fell with the generous men who,
at that memorable and unfortunate period attempted,
more bravely than successfully, to save the precious
object which the nation later reconquered. With that
deputation also fell the ancient and liberal institutions
of the Basque provinces—patterns of the wisdom of past
times, and monuments of government and administra-
tion which might afford instruction to modern times.
On commencing the work of restoration, your Majesty
has given us to understaud that, as a just and religious
Sovereign, you respect the sanction of the legislative
power, and that your noble heart will not forget the
sacrifices made in your cause and that of the country.
We therefore beg your Majesty to accept our sincerest
thanks for this act of justice—the prelude, no doubt, to
other acts more important still. May your Majesty be
assured that the foral deputation of Guipuzcoa will never
forget such a blessing."
The QUEEN replied—

"It is extremely agreeable to me to hear from thy
mouth the homage done me by the foral deputation of
our most faithful provinces of Guipuscoa. I am sot
ignorant of the exalted deeds whereby they have ac-
quired claims to my gratitude in times unfortunate to
the monarchy, and the share they had in those ever
memorable events. I thank you for your loyalty, which
has never belied itself. I hope I shall be able to acknow-
ledge it by labouring for your happiness."
It was generally believed that the Marquis DE
MIRAFLORES would be President of the Senate.

The King of the FRENCH, on his arrival at the
Chateau d'Eu, granted an amnesty to fifty State pri-
soners, confined chiefly for political offences. The
fact is thus announced in the Journal des Debats:—
" The KING, in commemoration of the late events in
Morocco, has just signed at the Chateau d'Eu an
ordonnance, granting full and entire pardon to fifty
political prisoners. The royal clemency is extended
to two classes—first, to all the individuals whose term
of imprisonment would expire in the year 1847, or
before that period; and, second, to a certain number
of individuals condemned to punishments much lon-
ger, some of them extending to twenty years, and
even to transportation." Neither this, however, nor
any act of grace on the part of his MAJESTY, will re-
concile the Opposition press to LOUIS PHILIPPE, or
make them pardon him for daring td cross the Chan-
nel and visit the young Queen of ENGLAND. M.
THUM'S journal is more furious than ever on the
subject. If the two countries were on the eve of a
bloody war, more exciting language could not be used
for stirring up the worst passions of the human breast,
" The voyage of the KING to England," says the
Censtihtionnel, "undertaken at the present moment,
has not the character of a simple exchange of politeness
with the Queen of ENGLAND ; and whatever care may
be taken to give to this visit an air of being purely
personal, public opinion in both countries will, with
reason, see in it an act of a political character. What
can the KING do in England at such a moment ? At
a time when, at the instigation of the English, brave
Frenchmen are having their throats cut without
benefit to their country ? How could the Ministry
have advised such a deplorable voyage ? Why have
they not rather laid hold of every plausible excuse
to postpone it ? If they had been a little more
jealous of the honour of France; if the Government
had a just sentiment of what becomes her dignity,
would they have gone to solicit in England an ap-
pearance of a good understanding, which no longer
exists ? When they shall have received some praises
in the English journals, some applause from the Eng-
lish public, some skilful flatteries from the Court of
England, they will return to France, mystified and
content. Our Ministerial journals will be charged to
extol English hospitality, and to congratulate the two
countries on their union, and fresh ,sacrifices will be
made at Otaheite or elsewhere. Paltry vanity, and
profound weakness—a search after trifling suc-
cesses, and indifference to the true glory of the coun-
try, are the true character of our Government. It
abandons the honour and the interests of the country
to gratify itself with the insignificant ovations pre-
pared for it by our neighbours ; it has created a Duke-
dom of Isly, and at the same time abandons the fruits
of the victory. The Government desire to revive
the entente cordiale, and the English alliance is spoken
of! The state of public feeling in France cannot be
known to them. Let them go through the provinces
and interrogate, not our Opposition men, but those
who from calculation or from indifference give their
votes to Ministerial Deputies, and they will every-
where find a feeling of discontent and irritation
against the English Government. Nothing can be
less popular than this entente cordiale, which has pro.
duced for us nothing but embarrassment, humiliations,
and the disavowal of the acts of our brave officers."
After other similar phrases the article thus con•
eludes :

" The entente cordiale is then, as it is understood, a
vain word, and has never produced but sacrifices on one
.ide or other for small objects. The English Ministers
have created embarrassments fur themselves, the French
Ministers have accepted humiliation, the two nations art
discontented in different degrees. It was a forced mar-
riage, aed is always on the point of being dissolved for
incompatibility of temper. What then is the King to do
in England ? To renew false appearances ? To simu
late an alliance which our Ministers did not choose te:
accept when it would have been glorious and profitable
to us, and of which they do not appear to be jealous but
when it humbles us ? to accept the plaudits of England
at the moment when the subjects of England are killing
the French at Otaheite ? The Ministry which recom-
mended this journey has seldom given the King ethic.
more improper or impolitic. Does M. Guizut think thee!
the Administration can never be sufficiently unpopular ?"
The Journal du Havre exhibits the same hostile
spirit :
- • - -

"We are assured by a person connected with the
Chancery of the Legion of Honour, that the Grand Cor-
don of the Order founded by Napoleon, is to be conferred
by the King in person, before he quits Windsor, upon
the principal Ministers of Victoria ; among others
Robert Peel and Aberdeen. This will be in the way of
return fur the Garter, which is to be conferred on the
King. This resolution, which has been adopted in t
high quarter, has excited a clamour even among thost
who are accustomed to what is passing. They asked
whether the prejudices of the people would not be roused
hearing of such a piece of news ? M. Guizot replied
that he answered for everything, and that before tht
country and Chambers, one must savoir tout our."
The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 3d instant,
states that the Duke D'AUMALB arrived at Bona or
the 18th of September, on his way to France. Tht
Prince was met by the Mayor of the town, and in re-
ply to an address said—
" I am very grateful to you for the flattering senti-
ments you express towards me and my family. Tin
King has long demonstrated the lively interest he takes
in the future welfare of Algeria ; he proved it 1:13
actions as well as words, and will be happy to hear tha+
his intentions are so well appreciated. Called by hi,
will to the command of this noble province, I have en-
deavoured to study all its wants. Those of the district

The Moniteur contains a long list of promotions and
decorations bestowed on several of the officers engaged
in the battle of Isly. General BEDEAU had been pro-
moted to the rank of Lieutenant-General, and
Colonels DE LA TOUR, Du PIN, and CAVAIGNAC to
that of Majors-General.

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

MIDDLESEX REGISTRATION.

(THIS DAY )
A court, for the registration of voters for the county
of Middlesex, residing within the City of London, was
held this day at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill,
before the Revising Barrister, Mr. L. Shadwell.
Mr. Coppock and Mr. James appeared fur the Liberals,
and Mr. Payne for the Conservatives.
Joseph Turnly, of the parish of All-hallows, Barking,
was objected to by Mr. Payne, and not appearing to
sustain his claim, his name was struck out.
Mr. James objected to the claim of John Garrett, of
All. hallows the Great.—The objection was disallowed.
Amos Losely, of the same parish, was objected to by
Mr. Payne.
Mr. Losely not having appeared, his name was struck
out of the list.

Henry Bettesworth, of Bank street, Dover, who
claimed out of property in All-hallows the Less, was
objected to by Mr. James.—The claim was snowed.

Jeffrey Joseph Shakerly was objected to by Mr. James,
but the objection was disallowed.
Charles Nix, who claimed from the parish of Under-
shaft, was struck out of the list.

Mr. James objected to Samuel Bell and Wm. Sharpe,
of the parish of St. Andrew by the Wardrobe.
The objecticns were allowed, and the names struck out.

Charles Hancock, of the same parish, was objected to
by Mr. Payne.—The objection was allowed.
Mr. James objected to J. Backlyton and George Tuff-
nel, whose names were struck out.

William Bonsey, who sought to register out of No. 2,
Copthall-court, was objected to by Mr. Coppock. It ap-
peared that Mr. Bonsey was rated for the house and oc-
cupied it. His claim was disallowed.
Mr. Horace Twiss came to support his claim to be
placed on the registry. He said he had now been sum-
moned to appear here for three or four years, and his
claim was always disallowed. He came forward to-day to
put an end to this vexatious proceeding. His object was
to have costs to put an end to this.
In answer to Mr. Payne, Mr. Twiss said he resided at
5, Park-place, and had a place at Paper-buildings in the
Temple, which he did not occupy.
Mr. Coppock said there was no objection to Mr. Twigs
on that ground. His right to be placed on the register
would depend upon an objection which included many
other votes besides Mr. Twiss's. The objection was
whether the Temple claimants claimed in the right
parish, and if Mr. Twiss's vote fell by the same objection
as the votes of others he could not complain.
Mr. Twiss said that was all fair, and then left the
Court.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.)
IN THE MATTER OF JOHN WETENHALL.

The bankrupt, a dealer on the Stock Exchange, was
this day examined at considerable length by Mr. Hardy,
respecting the application of some considerable sums,
the produce of stock, sold out on behalf of Lady Hayes.
It appeared, in the course of examination, that the
bankrupt had placed one sum in the London and West-
minster Bank in the joint names of Mr. Banner and him-
self, he having been ordered by her Ladyship to receive
his instructions from the former gentleman, but that
another sum of 1,900/. was paid into J ones, Loyd, and Co.,
on the Ist of April, 1843,in his own name only, while upon
the same day a letter was written to her Ladyship, stating
that the amount had been paid into the London and
Westminster Bank as usual. It also appeared that above
1,100/. was drawn out without her Ladyship being in-
formed of the transaction.

The bankrupt said that he did all this by the direction
of Mr. Banner.

The COMMISSIONER characterised the transaction as a
gross conspiracy, and would adjourn the bankrupt's
further examination sine die, which was done accordingly.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE and a full Bench of
Magistrates.)
This day being appointed for hearing appeals, the
court was crowded to excess by persons anxious to hear
the decision of the court in the appeal made against the
conviction for gambling in the house, No. 16, Leicester-
street, which excited so much interest about six or seven
months ago.

After the disposal of a number of parish appeals, in
which there appeared not the slightest point of general
interest, the case, " Appeal of John Harlewe against a
conviction of E. H. Maltby, Esq.," was called on.
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Montague Chambers appeared
for the respondents, and Mr. Clarkson for the appellants.
Mr. BODKIN, after raising several technical objections
as to the jurisdiction of the Court in Quarter Session as-
sembled, which were overruled after much discussion,
proceeded to briefly state the facts of the case as fol.
lows :—The appellant, John Harlowe, kept a cigar shop
at the house, No. 16, Leicester-street, being part of a
house of which he was proprietor, and the upper part of
which was used as a common gaming house, and with
which and his shop a private door opened. Although
he was not proved to have been gaming in the upper part
of the house, or taking part in any of the trans-
actions going on there, yet he was seen coming
out of it in his shirt sleeves continually shortly
before the police broke in, and be (Mr. Bodkin)
thought that under such circumstances the conviction
was good. The Learned Counsel then called Mr. In-
spector Baker, of the C division of police, who detailed
all the facts of the caption, which must be fresh in the
memory of our readers, and was subjected to a searching
cross-examination by Mr. Clarkson.
A map of the premises having been produced in Court,
The Assistant JUDGE, after a consultation with the
Bench, considered that the fact of the existence of a
direct communication between the two houses had not
been sufficiently proved, and decided that the conviction
should be quashed.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A young man, named John Kelly, was charged with
committing a most violent and unprovoked assault on
William Long last night.
The complainant, who appeared in Court with a fear-
ful gash under his eye, stated that he was going on his
way home through Drury-lane last night, about eleven
o'clock, when he was stopped by two women. One of
them laid hold of the collar of his coat and held him
while the other attempted to force her hand into his
pocket. He resisted them, and after a short struggle he
succeeded in pushing them away
.from him. Imme-
diately upon his doing so, the prisoner came up and
struck him a tremendous blow in the eye, which felled
him to the ground. The two women ran away, and the
prisoner was about to follow them, when a policeman
happened to come up and took the prisoner into custody.
The officer stated that the prisoner was very violent
on his road to the station-house, and several times at-
tempted to kick the complainant.
The prisoner, iu his defence, denied the whole charge,
and said he had never struck the complainant at all.
He believed the constable had a spite against him, and
that was the reason he had been taken into custody.
Mr. JARDINE said, it was very evident that a most
brutal assault had been committed, and therefore he
should sentence the prisoner to fourteen days' impri-
sonment.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
A decent-looking elderly man, who gave the name of
James Brown, was charged with the following daring
robbery :
On the previous night the prisoner went into the tap-
room of the Guildford Arms, Guildford-street, Russell-
.quare, and after remaining there a few minutes walked
down to the cellar, opened the door and very deliberately
stowed away in his pockets several bottles of Guinness's
stout, &c , until he almost resembled the bee in the fable,
clogged to embarrassment with the plunder. Meantime
Mr. White, the landlord, who had observed him from the
commencement allowed him to proceed .out of the cellar,
and when advancing towards the street-door seized him,
sent fora policeman, and gave him into custody. On the
way to the station-house he had the assurance to say the
bottles were his own, and defied the landlord to identify
them. He was fully committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)

Stephen Austin, a young man of decent appearance,
was charged with being drunk, and causing a great dis-
turbance at the house of Mr. Wisp, a tradesman, living
in Carnaby•street, Carnaby-market, and also with
doing certain wilful damage.

The housekeeper of the"complainant stated, that the
prisoner came to the house between nine and ten o'clock
last night, and attempted to force his way into the apart-
Mews of the lodgers, a man and his wife living on the
second floor, in doing which he was so extremely violent
that he actually broke a hole through the wall. As he
would not be pacified he was given into the custody of
the police.

Mr. MALTBY (to the prisoner)—What business had
you at the complainant's house ? Prisoner—
I went there for my wife. It is her who is
now living in the second floor with another man, who
passes for her husband. I was living in Cambridge, and
had a good business, but in the beginning of the year
I came to London on business, and during my absence
my faithless wife robbed me of my furniture and other
property to a very considerable amount, and eloped with
a young man lodger. Curses upon all young men
lodgers ! I'll never take any of them in again.—
(Laughter.) I only succeeded in tracing her out yes-
terday.
Mr. MALTBY—WeII, but that is no reason why you
should injure the complainant's property.
Prisoner—Certainly not. I'll make good: the damage
I have done.

Mr. MAI.T BY—Well, if you will undertake to do that
you are discharged, but you must not create any more
disturbance at the complainant's house.
Prisoner--But my property is there. How am Ito
get it?
Mr. Maltby did not reply, and the prisoner retired.

UNION-HALL.--(THIS DAY.)
James Roberts, a clock and watchmaker, lately re-
siding in Unioa-street, Southwark, was charged before
Mr. Cottingham, with unlawfully detaining a great num-
ber of watches entrusted to him for the purpose of re-
pairing.
It appeared that the prisoner established a shop in the
above street, and advertised to repair clocks and watches
in the most accurate manner, at very reduced prices,
and that he suddenly absconded, taking with him the
whole of the watches entrusted him to repair.
Winch, the policeman, who held the warrant against
the prisoner, said that the prisoner connected himself
with a religious congregation in the neighbou;hood, a

great number of wham he victimised. It 1,-;as discovered
that he had set up in the above business in Whitechapel,
and had also succeeded in obtaining possession of a eat
number of watches, the most of which he had disposed of.
Mr. Corrnicuam remanded the prisoner until Friday.

DEPARTURE

OF THE

KING OF THE FRENCH

FROM

EU FOR ENGLAND.

(From the Times.)

EU (NORMANDY), OCT. 7, 1844.

The embarkation of the King is fixed for this even-
ing, at half. past six. There being a somewhat ad-
verse wind, the flotilla will not, it is believed, reach
Portsmouth in less than ten hours. Even so you
will receive an account of his Majesty landing hi
England very soon after the announcement of his
departure from France.
Considerable surprise and some uneasiness were
occasioned here this morning by the non-arrival of
M. Guizot. At five o'clock yesterday afternoon, a
French Cabinet courier arrived here from Lon-
don, with dispatches for M. Guizot from Count
St. Aulaire, having performed the journey in little
more than twenty hours. This morning a courier
from Paris reached the Chateau, also, with dispatches
for him ; the latter fact proving that the Minister had
left that city for Eu. It was not, however, until a
quarter to ten o'clock this morning that M. Guizot
arrived. On inquiry it appeared that about three
leagues and a half this side of Rouen, one of the
wheels of his carriage got out of order, ceasing to
turn on the axle; all attempts to move it were vain.
Messengers were accordingly sent in search of work-
men to set it right, or to find another vehicle ; but it
was not until the Minister had been delayed more
than five hours that a carriage could be pnicured.
He appears, not withstanding this vexatious occur-
rence, in excellent health.

All is ready for the voyage. The presents for her
Majesty and the Royal Family, including several
packages of lace, and a superb carabine, or musket
(by Caron), for his Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales, are all shipped. The French Post-office
steamer, La Poste, one of those which carry the
mails from Calais to Dover, is in the basin at Tre-
port, to convey the King and suite from thence to
the Gomer steam-frigate, which has been at anchor
in the offing for some days. The Pluton and another
steamer, the name of which I shall mention later,
are to escort or accompany the Gomer; but, as in
the case of her Majesty Queen Victoria's arrival at
Ostend, last year, it is expected that the royal
steamer will, from its superior power, reach Ports-
mouth first and alone.

I stated in my letter of last night, that yesterday
the King entered upon his 72d year. There was
nothing observable, however, at the Chateau, to mark
the occasion, for the reasons I mentioned. Their
Majesties took an airing in the forest before dinner,
and had their usual soiree at the Palace, in the
evening, at which the principal persons of the coun-
try were present. Some bustle is certainly noticed
here and at Treport to-day; but compared with the
excitement that prevailed during the visit of Queen
Victoria last year, and particularly on the day of
her Majesty's embarkation, all is quietude.

Six o'CLocx P.M.

At ten minutes after six precisely the King, Queen,
Madame Adelaide, and the Duc de Montpensier en-
terred their carriage to proceed to Treport amid the
tears of the persons in attendance. The Queen was
of course deeply affected, this being her first separa-
tion from the King since her marriage. In another
carriage followed the grand personages who are to
accompany his Majesty, and in two others the per-
sons of the suite of his Majesty.
At half. past six o'olock his Majesty embarked.
