last, " that a small squadron will be sent to Naples to
bring to France the intended bride of the Duke d'Au-
male. The period of the departure of this naval force,

lieved to be very near."

rangement for the new service by steam between Mar

Dispatches bad been received at Madrid from Rome,
which were considered highly satisfactory by the Court,
inasmuch as they contained bulls prolonging the office
of the Royal Commissary de la Cruzada for two years,
this being looked upon as a special favour, no autho-
rization having been as yet given for more than one year.
We learn from Berlin that the municipality of that
capital, having entered into a contract with an English
company for lighting the city with gas for upwards of
20 years, and finding that, consequently, there will be
no expense created by forming the establishments which
would have been required for that purpose, has resolved,
instead, to erect a new hospital, sufficiently spacious to
receive 600 patients, and suppress all the present smaller
hospitals. The cost of the new edifice is estimated at
275,000 dollars.

LAW AND POLICE.
In the case of Robert Howland in the Bankruptcy
Court Sir C. F. Williams suspended the grant of the
bankrupt's certificate for eighteen months. The bank-
rupt had been a valuer and auctioneer, and in that capa-
city had obtained possession of property to a consider-
able amount, and never accounted to the owners for the
proceeds.
The trial of Captain Jennings, charged with slave-
trading,-has been again postponed at the request of the
prosecutor in consequence of the absence of a material
witness. Cooper and Weston, the two men who robbed
a house in the Waterloo road, under the pretence that
they were police-officers come to search it under a war-
rant, were convicted at the Central Criminal Court be-
fore the Recorder, but judgment was not pronounced.
Amelia Smith, aged 23, and Eleanor Stanton, 43, were
convicted in the New Court for feloniously taking and

and were each sentenced to be transported for seven years.
A young man named William Chivers, a native of
Aberdeen, was charged at the Guildhall with collecting
charitable contributions by false pretences. The pri-
soner had represented himself as a draper's assistant out
of employ, who had just come up from Aberdeen in
search of a situation, and collections had been made for
him by the assistants in several shops. His statement,
upon enquiry being made, turned out to be false, and he
was given into custody. Mr. Alderman Hughes re-
manded the prisoner till Saturday, to see if any further
charges would be preferred against him.
At Clerkenwell, John Baker, proprietor and driver of
an omnibus, badge 4,018, and William Webster, driver

At Worship-street Elizabeth Ford, a girl 16 years of
age, was charged with having attempted to commit sui-
cide at a house of ill-fame in a notorious locality, called
the Vinegar-ground, City-road. The unfortunate crea-
ture stated that her father was a typefounder, living at
Pentonville. That about 14 months ago she had been
seduced and deserted, and that she was in such a horrible
state of disease and misery, that she had taken poison to
put an end to her sufferings. It appeared that the poison
had been removed by the stomach-pump, and the magis-
trate directed that she should be sent to St. Thomas's
Hospital.
Wm. Saunders and Mathew Crowley, charged with
endangering the lives of her Majesty's subjects, by
furiously driving in the parish of Charlton, Kent, were

At an adjourned meeting of the Middlesex magistrates
held on Thursday, it appeared from the annual report of
the surgeon of the House of Correction, that the total
number of prisoners committed there during that period
had been 9,746; that only ten deaths had occurred
during the past year, and that two of the prisoners out
of that number were labouring under incurable
consumption at the time of their admission. The
annual report of the chaplain of the Westminster
Bridewell, stated that during the pastyear twenty-five pri-
soners had been taught writing, and thirty taught to read.
Mr. Pownall read a return of the number of persons
apprehended on a charge of drunkenness, from 1831 to

the former year.
At the inquest at Yeovil, on Saturday, Mr. R. P.
Caines remarked that in the course of his coronership he
had held no less than 3,800 inquests. He had been a
coroner nearly twenty-eight years, and during the last
seven years alone he had travelled 36,766 miles, giving
an average of 5,252 miles per year. He had paid in
turnpikes during the seven years a sum very little short
of ninety pounds.
The theatre at Beccles, built a few years since at an

Lieutenant F. E. L. Moore, late of the Caledonia, 120
guns, and Mr. J. Bodie, late Acting-Master of the

It appears from some tables on foreign commerce, that
the import and export trade of France with Morocco
amounted in 1840 to 3,714,000 f., in 1841 to 3,543,000 f.,
and in 1842 to 2,984,000 f., and that within those three
years the trade between England and Morocco amounted
to 52,898,000 f.
A French chemist, M. Debzenne, has discovered a
mode of making old worn-out fragments of silk into new
silk, by distillation. In the same way that caoutchouc is
' drawn into filaments, and woven into a double material,
so are these remnants of silk reduced to what is no more
than its primitive state—viz., a glutinous paste, by means
of a dissolvent and, like fused glass, re-acquires, in
coming into the, air, all its original strength and tenacity.

DARTMOOR.--About 5,000 acres of this extensive
common have been purchased by a company, who have
already fenced and drained part of it, and calculate on
letting the whole at 10s. per acre. Hitherto the land has
been waste.—Devizes Gazette.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE CITY.
Yesterday application was made to the Lord Mayor,
by the Masters of several of the Livery Companies,
to call out by precept the whole of those communities
to erect booths in St. Paul's-churchyard, or to form
themselves in line in the streets through which the
procession will pass.
It is recorded, that when Queen Elizabeth visited
the City, the Livery Companies being drawn out in
line from Temple-bar to the Guildhall, her Majesty
thought proper to dismiss the military attendants ;
and that when the Spanish Ambassador said to the
Queen, " Where are your Majesty's guards ? " she
replied, pointing to the faithful citizens, " these are
my guards." There is no doubt that if time had
sufficed, the whole of the Livery. Companies would,
in the present day, have been anxious to testify their
loyalty by a similar demonstration.
The LORD MAYOR, however, felt and expresed that,
with the limited interval which would elapse before
the Queen's entry, there would not be sufficient time
to make the requisite arrangements. His Lordship
issued the following letter, and it is understood that
all Liverymen desirous of availing themselves of the
opportunity of being present, must apply for tickets to
their respective Halls to pass the barriers on the
morning of the day :
" Sir,—l am directed by the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor to inform the Masters of the several Livery,
Companies, that, although his Lordship does not deem
it expedient to issue any precept to the Companies
upon the occasion of her Majesty honouring the
citizens with her presence, his Lordship does not de-
sire to check the disposition which some of the Com-
panies have expressed, to do honour to the occasion
by erecting stands in St. Paul's-churchyard for the
accommodation of their body."
The Lord Mayor and Committee ,of Aldermen
have passed the accompanying resolution :—" If it is
the wish of any members of your body to occupy the
standings in the Poultry, I have to request that I
may be informed, on or before Friday, at twelve
o'clock, of the number of the tickets which you will
require, as no more will be issued than the space will
conveniently allow.—l am, Sir, your obedient ser-
vant, " H. A. MEREWETHER.
" Guildhall, Oct. 23, 1844."
At a meeting of the Committee of Aldermen, Oct.
23, 1844, in order to prevent accidents in the narrow
parts of the streets through which the procession
will pass,
It was resolved,—That the pavement on each side of
Mansion-house-street and the Poultry be railed off
from Charlotte-row to the corner of Bucklersbury,
and from the corner of Princes-street to the corner of
the Old Jewry; and that no person be permitted to
remain on the pavement within those limits from
seven o'clock in the morning of the 28th, till after her
Majesty shall have quitted the Exchange, unless such
members of the Livery Companies as shall produce to
the police in attendance a ticket signed by the Com-
missioner.

9. That the foregoing regulations be put up in the
public streets through which the procession will pass,
and that the same be printed, and a copy delivered by
the police at each house in the line of procession from
Temple-bar to the Exchange.
