aeries and calamities of a protracted and sanguinary
war. The words of the toast were—" May the present
friendly relations between France and England long
continue." He would beg leave to alter one word, and
Day, may they continue for ever.—(Loud and long-pro-
tracted cheering followed the enunciation of this senti-
ment, the entire company standing, and the ladies in the
galleries waving their handkerchiefs, partieipating in the
enthusiasm evinced by the assemblage below.)
This having concluded the list of toasts, the Mayor
and principal guests retired, and in a few minates the
banquet hall was completely deserted.
The French officers are to-day entertained by Colonel
Trevor and the officers of the 59th Regiment.

DEPARTURE OF THE KING OF
THE FRENCH.

(From the Times.)
In the very clever and ingenious tale of " Hajji Baba
in England," there are few things which excite the sur-
prise and disgust of that illustrious traveller more than
the off hand manner in which the arrangements for the
reception of the Persian Ambassador at our Court are
conducted. He is even considerably shocked that no
procession should have been formed to greet the en-
trance of so great a man and his suite into the metro-
polis, out of suitable respect for one who was delegated
to represent so supreme and august a potentate as the
Shah ; and at first he will not believe but that all the
passers-by in carriages and horseback, whose attention
the new corners so forcibly attract, can be any other than
a cavalcade appointed to escort them. We apprehend,
however, that had that acute and lively Oriental de-
ferred his peregrinations till these days, he would
have been completely aghast, and absolutely at his
wit's end, to observe how socially and familiarly the
very royal and princly personages of our time run about
knocking at the doors of one palace or another, rushing
onwards by railroad or steamer, without so much as a
dozen dragoons of their own to look after their lives or
property ! No accurately measured etiquette—no
nicely balanced scale of dignities—no beautifully ad-
justed equilibrium of localities and approaches—no
lengthened train of glittering warriors to frighten the
gazers into awe—no tribe of keen gray-headed politi-
cians to make you think how such cunning folks might
circumvent or overreach you. Poor Hajji would have
dropped the eylids of ignorance over the eyes of asto-
nishment, and placed the finger of suspense on the lips
of silence. We confess that to us this is one of the most
agreeable topics which we have lately had to deal with.
It seems like a brightening of the political horizon in
the midst of those thick clouds of turbulence and dis-
affection which have long been gathering around almost
every Government in Europe. We rejoice with no
small degree of satisfaction in the reflection that Prussia
has sent her King, Russia her Emperor, Saxony her
King, and France—yes, even France, agitated as she is
with a fierce and desolating faction, who would move
heaven and earth for a war of extermination with us—
France has piloted her King to the shores of Albion, to
visit Queen 'Victoria in the unostentatious character of a
friend. To those who, without shunning the alternative,
when called for, of a just and necessary war, still love
and cherish the blessings of peace, occasions like the
present 'must afford the deepest pleasure ; and we
Islay surely be allowed to hope and to presage that
from this source of unceremonious cordiality between
crowned heads, the nations over whom they preside
will imbibe for each other sentiments (in some de-
gree at least) of a similar nature. We do not
pretend indeed to assert, that we shall ever be able
to conciliate the furious and unreasonable party to whom
we have alluded, or the populace-whom they irritate
against us; but we cannot forbear looking for some good
ti.om the occurrence of such events as that of which we
are now writing ; and although we dare not transgress
the limits of judgment and experience in framing views
which may prove to be too sanguine, still we will be
bold to set at defiance the intrigues and misrepresenta-
tions which would render the visit of Louis Philippe to
pur Sovereign nugatory for any valuable and peaceful
end. In private a man incurs a large share of odium in
the circle in which he moves, when he abuses the hos-
pitalities of an intimate by any flagrant outrage upon
.the duties, the proprieties, or even the conventional
civilities of life. He, in fact, shuts himself out of his
esreJe, by milking it necessary to prevent his repeating
the offence. The same rule, in its degree, will extend
to the ease before us ; and we are surely authorised to
expect a system of amica'ble relations with every Court
whose ruler comes hither on a trip of pleasure apart
from every political motive, and enjoys and responds
to „,ehe various manifestations of friendly solicitude
which, not the Queen alone, but the public bodies of
poro and towns through which he passes hasten to
the
the royal foreigner. The impression of such
exhibit to
s, disappear in the path of every-day events:
scenes canna,
must, leave a delicious and refreshing
they will, they
o sub sequent position of affairs can
memorial which
ever thoroughly obh:tcrate. Between the individuals on
the throne a threefold cs'rd of amity is thus cemented,
and deep and bitter regret, will overspread that hour (if
it ever arrive) when variance or ingratitude shall pre-
vail to sever the connexion. In leaving these shores,
which he has twice visited, as an exile and as a King,
Louis Philippe will carry with him rs" collections of a
it:de he should
tender and grateful character. It is impost.'
forget that, when his country once denied his'n a home,
he found it here—a home where he might cultivate
those peaceful talents by which he has more than once
saved Europe from the horrors of war. And now that
he has come as a King, his presence has been doubly
welcome. It has been a tribute of those fruits of which
the seed was sown in our own land; and most sincerely
do we trust, that while England waves him a kind and
cordial adieu as he leaves her shores, those of his own
subjects who have been hardy enough to ridicule or de-
nounce his humane and peaceful policy, will yet learn
generosity enough to acknowledge the wisdom by which
they have so long profited.
(From the Morning Chronicle.)
The King of the French re-embarks this day for his
own shores. His reception at Windsor was, of course,
cordial and magnificent, and, had circumstances per-
mitted his Majesty to accept more of the national hos-
pitality,he would have seen equal eagerness in the middle
and commercial, as well as in the higher and courtly
classes, to cultivate the best understanding with the re-
presentative of a country so closely connected with
England by political and geographical position, and,
if the French would so permit it, by interest. What-
ever effect such royal visits may have in them-
selves on the personages who come together, they
are at least calculated to make a very great impres-
sion on the people of both countries and of Europe.
When populations, neither very profoundly versed
in politics, nor stimulated by the passions which
politics excite, see the Sovereigns of two such countries
meet year after year in amity, their ministers, and
nobles, and leading statesmen intermingling also with
cordiality, it is impossible for them not to suppose
that there exists a certain mutual understanding, with
principles of fairness and feelings of amity on
both sides. With respect to the English and their
Queen, there can be no doubt of our amicable feel-
ings towards France, and of our wish to be friendly
and pacific, and more than pacific, if the French
would let us. The same may be said of the French
King. What Louis Philippe most wanted was
the support and friendship, not merely political but
personal, of one of those old and acknowledged
Crowns who stand at the head of the princely and
aristocratic interest; of Europe. The French Court,
since 1830, made efforts to propitiate the courts of the
east of Europe. The princes were sent to Austria to
seek alliances and marriage. We know how they were
repulsed. In August, 1830, King Louis Philippe (as
indeed his own journal, the Presse, of last Tuesday, re-
minds him) addressed a letter to the Emperor Nicholas,
which said, " France loves to see in Russia its most na-
tural and most powerful ally." The expression meant,
that the King of the French, just elected, was quite
ready to continue the policy of the elder Bourbons, and,
if received into the ranks of the Holly Alliance, to be
as true to its principles as Charles the Tenth, setting
England and her liberal ideas at defiance. The offer was
rejected by the Czar with contumely, and the Court of
the Tuileries was obliged to fall back on the alliance of
England, and to get Prince Talleyrand to complete it.
We recur to all this, not in anger or in pique, but
in order to a due appreciation of the present state of
*airs. There can be no Tory, no Radical, no politician,
or print, so desirous to be on the most amicable rela-
tions with France as we. But we cannot admit ourselves
satisfied with such a state of relations as that which we
have described. It is most unfair to England, letting '
down by degrees her national pride, and sacrificing her
interests one after another—in Spain one day, in Africa
another, and in the Pacific the next ; and after all, for
a temporary truce with a sot of madmen, who are not
conciliated in the least by our abjuration of spirit or of
rights. Louis Philippe is, however, a most able and
pacific Prince. One cannot but admire how he has
bestridden the fiery war-horse of his nation, reining
it and managing it, so as to spend its fury in curvets,
without allowing it to make a charge, except upon a
i
few savages n out of the way corners of the world.
His Majesty would, no doubt, prolong his reign of peace,
and, were he immortal, we might calm all apprehensions
of war. But even he must one day disappear from the
scene, and then what have we to look to ? The mainte-
nance of peace, we are told, is greatly due to his per-
sonal abilities, to his unrivalled wisdom. This may be
ground of admiration, but it is also a source of fear.
Nor the pacific system may disappear with the store of
royal wisdom and sagacity. When we look to the French
Chamber, which must acquire almost uncontrolled power
on the demise of the present Monarch, we see parties
and statesmen indeed, but not one party or statesman
who could pretend to rule without royal support. Neither
Count Mole, nor M. Thiers, nor AL Barrot, nor M.
Dufaure, nor, still less, M. Guizot, could command
a majority, if the royal hand, so skilled in forming and
managing majorities, were withdrawn.
(From the Morning Herald.)
The reception of the King of the French by the people
of England, of all ranks and of all parties, has amply
vindicated the national character from the imputations
heaped upon it by the viler portion of the French press.
The homage due to the honoured guest of our gracious
Queen has been paid not merely. with cheerfulness, but
with an alacrity, and even enthusiasm, which must have
proved to him how readily his twofold claim on the re-
spect and courtesy of the British people has been recog-
nised. From the first moment of his arrival no oppor-
tunity has been neglected by them of testifying the esti-
mation in which he is held in this country ;
sind the frank and noble spirit in
confirmed
he has
responded to such courtesies has
general impression in regard to him. In his answers
the
to the complimentary addresses which have been
presented to him, but one feeling predominates, that of
an anxious desire on his part to improve the amicable
relations between France and England—to employ his
Majesty's own energetic language—" to maintain and
strengthen the friendship subsisting between the two
countries, and which most warmly subsists between the
two Sovereigns—to promote sincere union between Eng-
land and France," and " to preserve the blessing of
Few, to neeentiel to the prosperity of both nations."

Such sentiments cannot fail of being appreciated by
every enlightened mind throughout the country, and to
increase the admiration, not unmixed with personal es-
teem, with which the efforts of his Majesty to
cultivate an entente cordiale have been regarded.
Nothing could have tended more effectually to
cement the good understanding which has at length
been created between the two nations than such a decla-
ration ; and but for his Majesty's intimation of his wish
that his visit might be considered as a private one, such
demonstrations would have been almost universal. That
such a course was wise on his part is proved by the
jealousy with which his Majesty's presence in England
is regarded by the Opposition press of France, whose
conductors cannot conceal their mortification at the
prospect to which his reception in this country, and the
sentiments to which it has given occasion, must, of
necessity, have conducted them. The Republican looks
for war, as affording the sole chance of ascendancy that
remains to his party. The Legitimatist, equally mis-
guided by a vicious and virulent press, regards the culti-
vation of amicable relations with England as equally fatal
to his hopes. The visit of Queen Victoria to Eu was
hardly more acceptable to them than that of their own
Monarch to Windsor. Their efforts, therefore, are
neither unnatural nor unexpected ; and if they have
proved ineffectual it has been because the great mass of
the people of France are no more influenced by their
malice than the reflecting portion of the British public
are by the gibes and misrepresentations of which our own
Foreign Minister is the object, for his imputed sacri-
fices of the honour of England to the interests and
demands of France ! Unsuccessful in their frantic
endeavours to exaggerate any contre temps that
seemed likely to disturb a peace of some thirty years'
duration, they attempt to account for the re-
ception of the King in a manner calculated to
wound the amour-propre of their countrymen. They
attribute our earnestly-expressed desire to cultivate an
amicable understanding, to a haughty sense of our own
superiority ; and add that we should not have received
Marshal Soult as favourably as we did had he not been
unsuccessful in his operations against us. Now every
Englishman knows full well that it was the gallantry
which he displayed on all occasions in which he came
into collision with the British forces that inspired the
cordiality of esteem with which he was received when
he visited us a few years ago. The heroism displayed
by the French troops in the Peninsular war and at
Waterloo, to which the warmest testimony has been
borne by nearly all our military writers, has inspired a
similar feeling in regard to the French army generally.
We have found the French worthy foes, but may ask
with the poet,—
" What better than a noble foe,
Unless a noble friend ? "
We assume no superiority over them, still less should
we base the hospitalities due to the illustrious strangers
who are now among us, on so arrogant a feeling, even
had we been conscious of its existence. Were the people
of England, however, liable to such a charge, it must
surely be considered inconsistent with the anxiety they
have displayed to remain at peace with the nation of
whose inferiority they are declared to be so satisfied.
The imputation is almost too absurd for grave refutation.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM TUE EVZWING PAPERS OF SATURDAY.
STANDA RD.--The " Romanist Dissenters," or
at least their :newspaper organs, are angry that the
followers of Mr. Newman and Dr. Pusey, and the
fellow-labour& Irs of the astute Dr. Hook, should be so
designated ; a) id the !more wary among them, having
ascertained, frc un the result of the late contest at
Oxford, how utterly they have miscalculated
their strength,. would fain appear to disclaim the
-bolder Popery of Mr. Newman, Mr. Ward, and
others ; altlyaugh they feel that they cannot con-
sistently desert the more cautious but not less con-
firmed Ros.manism of Dr. Pusey. We have already
exposed the jesuitical attempt of Dr. Hook to break
the fall of his Tractarian allies, and the value of his
assertion, that Dr. Puny was not justly dealt by,
albeit convicted of doctrine which forms a lead-
ing element of the Roman Catholic belief—that of
Transubstantiation. Blinking the question of
whether or not such doctrine ought to have been
preached hi a Protestant University, Dr. Hook
professes t° rest his complaint on the alleged fact
that Dr. lusey had not a fair trial, although
he seems di isposed now to keep his own opinion
of such pris. mciples out of sight. A correspondent,
whose letter, under the signature of " A Lay-
man," will be found in another column, has, how-
ever, shown pretty clearly that the Doctor's sym-
pathies even with the bolder and more undisguisd
doctrine of 11(r. Newman, Dr. Pusey, Mr. Ward,
et id omne genus, are of no very recent growth,
Of the tendency of his friend, Mr. Newman's, opi-
nions before other of the more notable members
of his party had spoken out, we have also the fol-
lowing unexceptionable testimony in a passage of
one of Dr. Arnold's letters, in which he defends
himself from the apparent inconsistency of ad-
vocating the cause of avowed Roman Catho-
lics, whilst he appears to have deprecated the
conduct of Tractarian Roman Catholics (for so
he describes Mr. Newman and his friends) for
signing the articles of a Protestant Church, and
holding offices in the ministry of that Church.
Had Dr. Arnold bean alive at the present mo-
ment, he would have witnessed the further
anomaly on the part of these gentlemen, of
boasting of the impunity with which they have
been permitted to openly announce their adhesion
to the Roman doctrine, and yet retain the honours
and emoluments of a Church which they profess to
despise. The passage to which we refer in Doctor
Arnold's published correspondence, if it cofirms our
views of their conduct before these daring apostates
had ventured upon the indecency of boasts like those
indulged in by Mr. Ward, is still more applicable to
their case at the present juncture :—" You seemed to
think that I was not so charitable towards the New-
manites as I used to be towards the Roman Catholics,
and you say that the Newmanites are to be regarded
as entirely Roman Catholics. I think so too, but
with this grave difference, that they are Roman
Catholics at Oxford, instead of at Oscott—Roman
Catholics signing the articles of a Protestant Church,
and holding offices in its ministry. Undoubtedly, I
think worse of Roman Cetholicism in itself than
I did some years ago ; but my feelings
towards a Roman Catholic are quite different from my
feelings towards a Newmanite, because I think the one
a fair enemy, the other a treacherous one. The one is
the Frenchman in his own uniform, and within his own
prcesidia ; the other is a Frenchman disguised in a red
coat, and holding a post within our presidia, for the
purpose of betraying it. I should honour the first, and
hang the second." In an elaborate manifesto of his
principles, recently published by Mr. Ward, Fellow of
Baliol College, Oxford, the extent of the impunity
be has enjoyed is set forth in no very equivocal
terms. In this somewhat remarkable publication
Mr. Ward declares, that in subscribing to the Thirty-
nine Articles, he renounced no one Roman doctrine;
and that, although he professes to believe " from his
inmost heart" in the "sinfulness of the Reformation,"
the " corruption to its very core of the Protestant
Church ;" delights in the idolatrous language of Bona-
venture to the Virgin; and is of opinion that Protest-
antism is a demon which will cruelly rend the body
from which it is preparing to depart ;" he not
only continues to hold his fellowship, but has
hitherto " received no ecclesiastical censure in any
shape." To have judged of him by the opinions he
has thus thrust upon the public, and to have made
them the ground of condemnation, after the pre-
scribed rules of the University, would, according
to the expressed notions of Dr. Hook, have been
to have subjected him to an unfair trial.
Dr. Pusey has recognised similar principles in
less guarded terms ; but the " pear is not sufficiently
ripe" to admit of his defending himself in the same
bold and uncompromising language, as his defence
could only be founded on his justification of the doc-
trines he has preached. He has, therefore, chosen
to remain silent. He has been condemned, we are
told, unheard ; but the party who bring forward this
accusation well know that he has not been condemned
unread.
GLOBE.—Numerous annual meetings of Agri-
cultural Societies have been held, in different parts of
the kingdom, within the last few days. The after-
dinner speeches of the landlords—spoken specially for
the instruction and guidance of the tenant-farmers,
present and absent—have had almost exclusive rela-
tion to two topics. Low prices, which farmers are
now to expect, must be made up by increased pro-
duction. To effect this, their utmost exertions must
be put forth. The recently-discovered composts must
be spread upon their lands, regardless of expense. La-
bourers must be employed upon it in numbers propor-
tionate to the labouring population of the parishes ;
and at a rate of wages sufficiently high to enable the
labourers and their families to procure the comforts of
life, and thus be rendered contented and happy in
their condition. These points were illustrated and
enforced with both skill and industry at most of these
agricultural meetings. The incendiary fires which
have been kindled in considerable and lamentable
numbers in several agricultural counties, seem to have
shed light upon the deplorable state of the farm-la-
bourers and their families; and have furnished to
the landlord-orators at these meetings an occasion
for bestowing some words upon the necessity of rais-
ing these unfortunates a little above the starvation-
level to which they have been pressed. At the Hun-
tingdonshire meeting held on Wednesday last, Mr.
Fellowes, one of the M.P.'s for the county
discoursed with much impressiveness on these two
points ; and Lord Sandwich, from the chair, also
lent the aid of his wisdom and rank to enforce the
Hon. Gentleman's exhortations and advice. Mr.
Fellowes was " especially anxious that his mo-
tives, in pressing the suggestions he was about
to offer, should be appreciated by the meeting."
The anxiety was natural. It might be suspected
that self-interest prompted the advice he gave. If the
land be highly cultivated by the tenant, its value will
be improved at the occupier's cost ; and thus
the owner be certainly advantaged, and his rent
secured, even though the amount of capital drain the
resources of the tenant, and reduce him to bank-
ruptcy. It was therefore necessary for Mr. Fel-
lowes, at the commencement of his address, to be-
speak the favourable opinion of the farmers, by
assuring them that the advice he was about to
give them was purely disinterested. He there-
fore " trusted all his friends in the county of
Hunts would do justice to his motives, and believe
nis observations to be founded on his anxiety for
the interests and welfare of all classes of agricultu-
rists." The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to the
main topics of his address : —" 'When prices were low,
they should:be met by improvement in quality and in-
crease in produce—not by a diminution of labour, but
by an increase of labour. The farmer should gain
in quantity and quality what he lost in price. There
was enough to be found in the land, with the
aid of the improvements that might be brought to
bear, to assist greatly the tenant-farmer in
times of depression." The system of high cultivation
having been enforced, Mr. Fellowes proceeded to
urge upon the farmers the policy. of employing a
larger amount of labour on their occupations--
" lie had observed—and he spoke not of that county
alone, but of others as well—that during the
last twelvemonths there bad been a diminution in
agricultural labour in some districts; and he had
been told that the reason of this was the
low price of corn." This "reason" Mr. Fellowes
designated " false ;" but did not even attempt to show
how the farmer, with diminished prices, and conse-
quently diminished means, could afford to employ an
additional number of labourers—aye, and at increased
wages too. Perhaps this is one of the secret things
which belong to landlords ; the unquestioning re-
ception of which is one of the duties they exact
from their tenantry. The same grounds on which
the farmer is compelled to vote for his land-
lord's candidate at a Parlimentary election, without
any regard to his private opinion of the gentleman
whose canvassing card is indorsed with his landlord's
name, or to his own opinions on national politics, will
serve to sustain a landlord's dictum upon subjects such
as Mr. Fellowes discoursed upon at Huntingdon on
Wednesday. When landlords condescend to give lec-
tures to their tenants, it is, of course, the obvious duty
of the latter to listen with respect, and to obey, at
whatever sacrifice....lt is consolatory to find that
incendiary fires—those appalling results of despe-
ration in suffering men—have forced attention to
the wretched condition of the agricultural labourers
and that of their families. Such blind and des-
perate acts of destruction cannot be too deeply
deplored, or too strongly condemned ; but if
they induce a general inquiry into the causes that
have produced them, and lead to an honest and earnest
effort on the part of the landed interest to raise these
serfs of the soil to a higher grade in the scale of phy-
sical comfort and intellectual and moral worth, even
the incendiary fires, that have spread desolation and
alarm in so many districts, will not have blazed in
vain. We cannot but express surprise and regret that the
suggestions and exhortations to the farmers with
which the addresses of the Commoner and Peer

abounded, were begun, continued, and ended without
anyallusion to thereciprocal duties of landlords to their
tenants. No mention was made of leases at rents re-
duced to the level of the reduced prices—of which so
much was said, to enforce the employment of ex-
pensive composts, m draing and marling, with other
improvements, joined with an increased amount
of labour, that increased production may compen-
sate for diminished prices. Not a word was
uttered respecting the destruction of crops by the
breeding and preservation of game, nor of the expenses
entailed on the poor-rates by maintaining the wives
and families of convicted poachers, while the men were
expiating their offences against the game-laws in a
prison. Nor did we observe any allusion to plans by
which the condition of the labourers was to be
raised. Nothing was said respecting small allot-
ments of land, granted by the philanthropy of
the owners of the soil, by the cultivation of which
by spade husbandry before and after the hours of
labour for his employer, and in which his wife and
some of his children might aid him, an addition
would be made to the labourer's scanty means, and
habits of industry and care be encouraged by the
reward that sweetens labour. All was to be done by
the farmer. The office of the landlords is, it seems,
to point out what the farmers are to do for the im-
provement of the labourer's condition. Like finger-
posts, they indicate the right course ! but move not
in it.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 12.

IN THE MATTER OF JAMES SAWYER.

The insolvent, who had been an attorney, in Bow-
lane, Cheapside, was opposed on the part of a widow
woman named Rokes. The complaint against the
insolvent was that he had defrauded Mrs. Rokes out
of a considerable sum of money, the loss of which had
reduced her to distress, and had obliged her to sell
some furniture to bring her case before the Court.
The evidence proved that Mrs. Rokes's late husband
and son were in partnership as undertakers, in Union-
street, Borough, and that the son had saved 2,0001.,
which he kept in a box, and shortly before his death
gave it to her for her exclusive benefit. Her husband
afterwards died, and she administered to his effects,
and took out letters of administration to about 6001.
In February, 1842, her son-in-law, named North,
was heard in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, on which
occasion she was subpoenaed as a Witness. She con-
sulted the insolvent, and mentioned the circumstance
about the 2,0001. given her by her son, which she had
not set forth when she took out letters of administra-
tion. He told her that she had committed an offence
for which she could be transported, as the property
should have been mentioned. The poor woman became
alarmed, and it was arranged that she should sell out
her stock and place it in his hands as a deposit, which
she did, the amount being 2,4001. North was finally
heard in April, 1842, and until after that period no
application was made to him that it might be again
invested. The insolvent told her that North's credi-
tors were entitled to a portion, and hence the selling
of it out of the funds. He had made advances to her,
which were set forth in a book, to about 4001., and
that was the whole she had obtained of the sum
of 2,4001.
The insolvent stated that he was to allow her in-
terest for the money. He had advanced her 5001.,
had a bill for law costs (which had not been deli-
vered), and he admitted that he owed her a balance
of 1,4001. He had used the money in his business,
and was at the time in a practice to some extent,
keeping his carriage and nine clerks. His banker's
book showed that he had only deposited small sums at
the period the money was deposited with him. He
had taken the opinion of counsel, and believed that the
money should have been returned in when the letters
of administration were taken out. He had not advised
her to make a different return, but she suggested that
the money should be deposited with him, and he "ac-
ceded" to the suggestion. His insolvency arose from
the failure of a Mr. Hannan, who owed him 2,0001.,
and he had other debts owing to him.
Sir C. F. WILLIAMS ordered an account to be fur-
nished to him of the disposition of the 2,4001. before
he gave his opinion.
Mr. COOKE asked the Court to appoint an early
day. The insolvent had been quite long enough out
of prison, and the interests of justice required a speedy
decision.

Mr. CHAMBERS prayed the Court to grant some
days' delay.
Sir C. F. WILLIAMS adjourned the case to Monday
week, and required the account of the money to be
furnished to him some days before the next occasion.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(SATURDAY.)
MARYLEB ONE.

Caroline Berry, a meanly-dressed elderly woman,
and Elizabeth Phasey, a middle-aged female, respect-
ably attired, were charged with having been con-
cerned in stealing articles of jewellery, &c., valued at
3851., the property of John Goldie, Esq., 39, Baker-
street, Portman-square.
Mrs. Goldie deposed that, on the 10th of July last,
she and her family went out of town, after leaving
the house in charge of Phasey, one of her servants,
and on her return, on the 2d of the present month,
Phasey informed her that the wardrobe had been
left open. She (Mrs. Goldie), who was convinced
that it was locked prior to her departure, examined it,
and found that a pair of diamond ear-rings, a diamond
brooch, an emerald ring, and a silk dress, had been
extracted therefrom. She asked Phasey if she knew
anything of the missing articles, to which she replied
that she did not ; and, on her being further
questioned, she said that the only persons she could
suspect of having done anything wrong were the
prisoner Berry, an occasional charwoman at the
house, and a young man, named Edward Payne.
Mr. LONG—Do you know anything of the man,
Payne ? Mrs. Goldie—All that I know of him, Sir,
is, that Phasey, my servant, told me he had slept in
the house while I was away, and that she first became
acquainted with him while she was with me at Lea-
mington some time ago.
William Henry Clarke, shopman to Mr. Dobree,
12, Gilbert-street, Grosvenor-square, produced the
diamond brooch and ear-rings (articles of a most
splendid description), which had been pledged at dif-
ferent periods by the prisoner Berry for a small
amount, she (Berry) alleging that they were " paste,"
and belonged to Madame Davis, 15, Gilbert-street.
Mrs. Goldie identified the valuables brought for-
ward by the last witness ; he (witness) was, as it ap-
peared, young in the trade, and was not aware of the
worth of the property which he had taken in.
Berry, in answer to the charge, said that the pro-
perty was given to her by Phasey to pawn, and she
was not aware there was anything wrong. Phasey
denied this in most vehement terms.

Both the prisoners were rernansied till Friday.
CLERKEIV WELL.

Thomas Triggey, who described himself as an
assistant officer of the Court of Requests, Kingsgate-
street, was charged with extorting money from Mrs.
Ann Waugh, a poor person, living at No. 11,
s
Thomas's-buildings, Somers Town, under the pre-
tence of giving her legal assistance.
Mrs. Waugh stated that she owe
Chichester-rents, Chancery-lame, pOtan-f fdor a a
Mr. Goodwin,ek ef
toes, which she had purchased of him on the " tally
system," at his shed. On her inability to pay, a
summons, and subsequently execution, was issued
against her, for debt and costs, amounting to upwards
of Bs., and by the order of the court she was ordered
to pay it off by 2s. instalments. On going to the
court, on Wednesday, to pay, a. man named Terne,
whom she pointed out to the magistrate, told her she
was too late, as the court was closed ; but if she
allowed him to act for her, he would make it " all
right." He then introduced the prisoner Triggey to
her at an adjoining public-house, who told her that
she would have ss. Bd. to pay, on which she at once
went and raised the money by pledging her cloak.
She then paid Triggey the sum he demanded for his
services, and treated Terne with a pint of beer with
the only remaining 2d. she possessed, leaving herself
and her two children destitute. She hereupon satis-
fied her mind that everything was arranged; but, on
Friday, execution was levied on her goods. Terne,
whom she had seen before at the court, had, on that
occasion, said he was an officer belonging to it.
Joseph Term?, who at first objected to give his
name to the magistrate, was then placed at the bar.
Mr. Goodwin stated that on proceeding to the poor
widow's house to execute his warrant for the goods he
had sold her, she presented her receipt from Triggey,
showing she had paid him the money, and she had
considered him as the landlord at the time, he being
behind the bar, and that gave her sufficient confidence.
On the warrant of execution being examined, it
appeared to have been delayed since September,
through the neglect of the officer.
James Wheldan, who described himself as "bailiff"
to the court, and said he was appointed by Mr. Ser-
" every morning," gave an account o =se wi

WORSHIP-STREET.
Jane Bowe, a amartly•dreased girl, was charged

before Mr. Broughton with having, on three several
occasions, disturbed the rest of Mr. G. H. Coward,
the district surgeon of police, in the New North-
road, by ringing his house-bell without lawful excuse.
The complainant stated that about one o'clock on
Wednesday morning he was disturbed by a violent
ringing at his night-bell, on answering which he
found the prisoner at the door, who requested the im-
mediate attendance of one of his assistants to visit a
sick man who was lying dangerously ill at a house in
Britannia-street, City-road. Oae of his assistants
was immediately dispatched to the given address, but
he remained so long absent that witness became
alarmed, and obtained the assistance of a policeman,
with whom he went in search of him in all directions,
without success. After more than three hours' ab-
sence the young man at length returned hack, and
said that he had been unable to find the place. On
the following night, about the same hour, the prisoner
called again, and said that his assistant was in-
stantly wanted at the house of a dying man named
Phillips, in Monyer-street, Hoxton, whither he was
accordingly sent, but after a protracted absence he came
back, and said they had been again hoaxed, as no
such person resided there. When she called the
second time witness was not aware that she was the
same person who had led them such a wild goose chase
on the preceding night ; but about one o'clock on that
morning she paid him a third visit, and was deliver-
ing a similar summons for his assistant, when he
recognised her as the same girl who had broken his
rest on the two previous occasions, and gave her into
custody.
Police-constable No. 98 stated that, on her way to
the station-house, the prisoner confessed that her con-
duct was the result of a preconcerted scheme between
herself and Mr. Henry Petch, the compainant's
assistant, to enable him to enjoy the pleasure of her
society.
Mr. Coward said that he had questioned his as-
sistant on the subject, who had admitted, after a good
deal of hesitation, that the girl's statement was per-
fectly correct. He had some previous intimacy with
the girl, and not being permitted to leave the house
after it was closed for the night, they had resorted to
this stratagem to bring them together.
On being asked if she wished to say anything, the
prisoner declared that Mr. Henry would be best able
to explain all about the transaction.
Mr. BROUGHTON ordered her to pay a shilling for
her discharge.
