telligence from Madrid and Barcelona :

Narvaez was to hav*been assassinated at the entrance
of the French embassy, where he dined.

" Four hundred or five hundred persons, with the
bonnet-rouge, assembled on the Rambla, and sur-
rounded the Alcade and his deputy, who were soon
rescued by the Moms of the Foreign Legion.

dispersed. The Baron de Meer, on leaving the
theatre, proceeded on foot along the Rambla, and a
number of persons were arrested, after two officers of
the police being stabbed."

ANOTHER LEI TER.

"At eight o'clock two assassins were arrested,
at the moment of their making an attempt
on the life of Baron de Meer ; but these men were

hundred men.

" MADRID, OCT. 27.

" A fresh conspiracy has just been discovered.
General Narvaez was to have been assassinated at
the gate of the French Embassy, where he dined.
General Prim was arrested this morning. Other ar-
rests were made last night and this morning."
" BARCELONA, OCT. 27.

" At eight o'clock this afternoon two assassins
were arrested at the moment they were about to at-
tack the Baron de Meer, who was alighting from his
carriage at the theatre. They were rescued from the
guard which was escorting them to the Atarazanas
by a mob, consisting of at least 500 armed men."
"BARCELONA, OcT. 28.

" Four or five hundred persons, wearing red caps
on their heads, proceeded to the Rambla, and seized
upon the Alcade and his deputy, who were rescued
by the Mosos of the Foreign Legion. Other
troops arrived and the rioters were dispersed. The
Baron de Meer, on leaving the theatre, proceeded
along the Rambla. Forty persons were arrested
Two officers and a gendarme were stabbed with
knives.

" The result of this attempt is not calculated to
encourage the disaffected."

CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
The long vacation concluded yesterday, and
Michaelmas Term commenced to-day. The Lord
Chancellor was waited upon at his house, in George-
street, Hanover-square, shortly after eleven, by the
Lord Mayor elect, Mr. Alderman Gibbs, and several
members of the Corporation, when his Lord.
ship signified her Majesty's approval of him for
Lord Mayor of London for the ensuing year. His
Lordship afterwards, as is usual at Michael-
mas and Easter Terms, entertained the Judges,
Masters in Chancery, and Queen's Counsel, at
breakfast, and then, accompanied by the Learned
Judges, proceeded in State to Westminster to
open the Courts. The Lord Chancellor took
his seat about half-past one o'clock, attended by the
Master of the Rolls, the Vice-Chancellor of England,
the Vice-Chancellors Wigram, and Masters Sir G.Wil-
son and Duckworth. It was understood that the Vice-
Chancellor Knight did not attend his Lordship in
consequence of there being no place in which he
could sit. Surely at the present time, when the
House of Commons is not sitting, the two
Committee-rooms that have hitherto been devoted to
the new Vice-Chancellors might again be placed at
their disposal, instead of subjecting the bar to the
inconvenience, in the first place, of one judge not
sitting, and in the next of compelling them,
amid the drenching rain, to cross from the courts
at Westminster Hall to the Sessions-house. On the
Lord Chancellor taking his seat, Mr. Hilyard and
Mr. Thickust, on being appointed Queen's counsel,
were called by his Lordship within the bar.
The COURT then heard appeal motions. The appeal
of Toledo v. Vieta was postponed to a future da y
The Court then proceeded with other appeals, at d
rose shortly after three o'clock.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
The VICE-CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND took his seat
in his Court at-Westminster, shortly after half-past
one o'clock, and proceeded to hear motions, none of
which possessed any points of public interest.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
• (Sittings in Banco.)
This being the first day of Michaelmas Term the
Judges did not take their seats upon the bench until
one o'c ock.

LOCKWOOD V. WOOD.
TOLLS OF EASINGWOLD MARKET AND FAIR.

This was an action, brought by the plaintiff, the
proprietor of Easingwold market and fair, to recover
certain stallage from the defendant, who had erected a
stall in the market-place of Easingwold. The defendant
pleaded that the inhabitants of Easingwold were free
from stallage. The case has been frequently
argued, and tried more than once—the point
to be decided being whether the exemption of the in-
habitants from toll, which was admitted to exist, in-
cluded also an exemption from stallage. The last
occasion in which it was tried was at York, before the
Lord Chief Baron, when a verdict was returned for
the defendant.

Mr. WATSON now applied for a rule nisi to set
aside the verdict and enter a verdict for the plaintiff,
or for a new trial, on the grounds, first, that there
was no evidence to support the verdict: secondly,
that the verdict was contrary to evidence; and
thirdly, that there had been misdirection on the part
of the Learned Judge.—Rule nisi granted.

IN TIM MATTER OF CHARLES BESSET-HABEAS CORPUS.

Mr. CHAMBERS moved for a writ of habeas corpus
directed to the Keeper of the Giltspur-street Compter,
to bring up the body of Charles Besset, who was de-
tained under the provisions of the extra-tradition
treaty with France. Several points would arise
as to the construction of the Act of Parliament.
The case had been already heard at Chambers, and
the Judge had directed application to the full court.
Lord DBNMAN—You had better take your writ at
once.—Application granted.
