POEEZGN. .
'the Prineen Cl6mentine of Orleans, Duchess Augttna of
Saxe-Cobuig Gotha, Was on Thursday morning, at a quarter-
past five o'clock, safely delivered of a Prince, who, by com-
mand of the King, received the Christian names of Philippe
Ferdinand Marie Auguste Raphael, by which he was chris-
tened, at five in the afternoon, by the *Archbishop of Paris, in
the presence of the whole of the Royal Family, the Chancel-
lor, the Grand Referendary, M. Cauchy, Keeper of the Ar-
chives of the Chamber of Peers, the President of the Council,
the Keeper of the Seals, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, &c.
In the evening the King gave a grand dinner, to which all
the witnesses Were invited.
The contest between the Government and the clergy on
the Education Bill becomes every day more keen. On Safur-
day, the Minister of the Interior received dispatches from the
Prefects of Morbihan and Finisterre, which give a most un-
satisfactory account of the state of these provinces. The
smaller clergy are doing all they can to excite the people;
and a great number of instances are given in which the
priests interrupted Divine Service to harangue the people on
the attempts made to destroy religion.
The National says A letter from Marseilles, which
has been communicated to us, mentions that the son of the
Austrian Admiral, M. Bandeira, has quitted Smyrna in a boat
with a few sailors of the port. It was asserted that this de-
parture was caused by' certain unthinking acts, such as
young men might commit, but it is now known that the
cause was of a far graver character, and that a political
motive has caused this step."
The Civil Tribunal of Paris, on Friday, pronounced a sen-
tence of separation between an English married couple named
Langley. The suit was instituted by the wife on the ground
of adultery on the part of the husband. The wife demanded
a division of their property; but the Court, feeling itself
bound by the laws and customs of England, refused this claim,
and decreed the husband to make her an annual allowance
of 1,200 francs. The separation will, of course, hold good
only in France.
Before the Court of Assizes, on the same day, M. Dezami,
as editor of a work entitled "Almanach de la eommunaute,"
was prosecuted for haying therein attacked the rights of pro-
perty, committed an outrage against public morals and reli-
gion, exciting contempt against the laws and hatred between
different classes of the people. Being found guilty, he was
sentenced to four montlis' imprisonment, and a fine of 200 fr.
The adulteration of salt is still going on in Paris with in-
conceivable audacity. From 27 to 30 millions of kilogrammes
are used every year in the capital, and of that quantity two-
thirds are said to be adulterated. The substances used are
earth, saltpetre, sulphate of soda, sulphate of lime or plaster,
and water, to add to the weight.
The Leipsic Gazette has the following from Constantinople,
March 5 ;—" Eifaat Pacha has just given the most satisfac-
tory answer to the Ambassadors of France and England on
the question of the persecution of renegades. It is not
known whether Sir Stratford Canning will insist on a formal
hatti-scheriff; but, if be should do so, the Baron de Bour-
queney will concur with him."
The Russian Court has gone into mourning for 24 days, for
the late King of Sweden.
A letter from Vienna, March 23, in the Augsburg Gazette,
states that the report of Prince Michael of Servia, who re-
sides at the Austrian capital, having applied, in quality of an
Ottoman subject, to the Turkish Ambassador for a passport
for England, is unfounded.
_ LAW AND POLICE.

At the Bodmin Assizes, a woman, named Elizabeth Moore,
was indicted for killing her son, a boy twelve years of age, by
striking him on the head with a stone. She had flung it at
the child in a moment of passion ; it did not appear she had
any intention of hurting it. The jury returned a verdict of
guilty; but the Learned Judge said she was more an object
of compassion than of punishment, and sentenced her to one
day's imprisonment only.
The assizes of the Midland Circuit was opened at Coventry,
on Thursday, by Lord Chief Justice Tindal and Mr. Baron
Gurney. There were sixty-eight prisoners for trial, but the
offences charged were, for the most part, of an extremely
light character, One man stood charged with stealing an
egg, value a penny, and another with stealing an osier, value
a halfpenny. The former was sentenced to imprisonment for
fourteen days, and the latter was acquitted. In the former
case the Learned Judge strongly censured the prosecution,
and disallowed the expenses.
At the Liverpool assizes, William Bethell was indicted for
uttering a forged acceptance for 171/. is., with intent to de-
fraud William Maddock. In a second count, the uttering was
alleged to be with intent to defraud Messrs. John and Thomas
Johnson. The priscner was found guilty, and transpqrted for 15
years. At the saint! assizes, Thomas Stanley Sudlow was sen-
tenced to two years' imprisonment for forging a cheque for 55/.,
with theintention sf defrauding Messrs. Jones, Lloyd, and
Co., bankers. Ann Jones, at the same assizes, was trans-
ported for seven vears for procuring a false entry to be made
in the Registry of Deaths.
At the Oxford Assizes, a Miss E. Harbert brought an
action of breach of promiSe of marriage, against a respectable
farmer named Edginton. Everything had been arranged for
the wedding, when the defendant received an anonymous
letter, charging the ccmplainant with being addicted to
drinking—in consequence of which the defendant broke off
the match. The attempt to prove the charge by evidence,
failed, and the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff,—
damages 2001.
At the Assizes at Norwich, two young men named Samuel
Howlett and Thomas Williamson, were indicted for adminis-
tering a poisonous drug to a woman named Ellen Jarvis,
with the intent of procuring abortion, from the effects of

port. the charge they were-acquitted.

merited complements to the workingmen of England.

Rumours are afloat that the King of the French,
on his approaching visit, will be received at the Pavilion at
Brighton, where her Majesty will meet him, and that he will
not visit Windsor or the metropolis. This arrangement is
said to have originated in a desite to regulate his conduct
by that of our Sovereign, on her visit to Eu last year. From
another source we have heard, that Louis Philippe will be
accompanied by his Queen, that the Royal yacht will anchor
off East Cowes, and that their Majesties will sleep on board
every night.. Should this latter rumour prove true, what a
magnificent flotilla of yachts will doubtless be gathered round
the Isle of Wight.—Court Journal.
