and leaders of movements in Italy mast look on this as a

warning.' "
A letter from Oran, April 10, in the Constitutionnel says :
'• It appears that the attack made by Abd-el-Kader on the
Ouled-Soleiman has been very disastrous to that tribe. The
Emir has succeeded in organising some forces for his attacks.
It is pretended that lie can dispose of 800 foot soldiers and
1,200 horsemen. If allowed to act as he liked he would un-
doubtedly find means to seriously disquiet the allied tribes of
France, some of whom would be forced to follow him. Chef i
d'Escadron Caill:er, orderly officer of the Minister of War,
will accompany the expedition: which General Lamorciere,
who set out to-night, is going to direct against the Emir."

decrease of 24, as compared with the previous week,
the total number being 846, previous week 870,
average 883. There is a decrease under all the heads
except two, those including epidemic and contagious
diseases, and deaths from violence, privation, cold,
and intemperance. Small-pox carried off 20, and of
these 14 had not been vaccinated, and one,
a child, two years old, had been vaccinated
three times. The deaths occurred at the following
ages :—Five under one year, twelve under four years,
one five, one twenty-one, and one twenty-six years.
The number of violent deaths was twenty-seven, and
of these eight were from burns and scalds, and four by
suicides. The highest average of the thermometer
was 61.5 and the lowest 43.2. On Wednesday it was
highest 66.8, and lowest on the night of Friday 36.3.
The mean height of the barometer was a little above
30 degrees.

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

QUEEN'S BENCH.---(THIS DAY).
(Sittings in Banco.)
nowAno v. GOSSET. . _

The plaintiff is an attorney, and this was an action brought
against Sir W. Gossett, the Sergeant-at-Arms to the House
of Commons, for an alleged assault and false imprisonment,
connected with the celebrated Stockdale and Hansard affair;
and the case stood in the special paper for argument on
demurrer.
Mr. WADDINGTON now applied to the Court to postpone
the hearing of the argument until next session. l'he case
would require very great care in its preparation, as it in-
volved several serious questions relating to the privileges of
the House of Commons. He was with his Learned Friend
the Attorney-General, for the defendant, and if the case
were postponed until next term, he hoped he might be
enabled to have his valuable assistance.
Mr. KELLY, who was on the opposite side, had no objection
to the postponement, if their Lordships would consent.
Air. Justice PArrEsoN—As the other side does not object,
let the case stand for argument in Trinity Term.—Applica-
tion granted.
This being the Queen's birthday the Judges were in their
scarlet robes, and full-bottomed wigs ; and the Queen's Counsel
also appeared in full-bottomed wigs, silk goWns, and full-dregs
Court suits, with lace ruffles. The Court altogether pre-
sented a very gay appearance. Lord Denman, who wore 14
chain of office and appeared in his full costume as Lord Chief
Justice of England, left the Court at half-past one o'clock.
The Court was much crowded during the whole morning. :

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS I)AY.)
(Sittings in Bauco.)
The CoTut took the special paper to-day. The arguments
were of the u3ual technical character.

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.
(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings at Nisi Prius before Mr. Baron GURNEY and a
Common Jury.)

BONNIWELL v. DUCKWORTH.
This action was to recover damages for an alleged illegal
distress on goods and fixtures belonging to the ylaintiff.
Mr. Martin and Mr. Hill appeared for the plaintiff, Mr.
Jervis for the defendant.
It appeared that on the 29th of January last, plaintiff con-
signed a chaise-body, three tin cans, and some wheels and
axles, to the care of the landlord of the Boar's Head, in
Barnet, and, on the next day, a number of chairs. He re-
sided at Whetstone, in a house which he Ifbld of the assignees
of Messrs. Chambers. Shortly after this, defendant, a
broker, at Barnet, called at the Boar's Head, and having
seen the goods of plaintiff, took them next day in distress.
A mahogany sign-board was also taken away forcibly,
bringing with it a few tiles. The defence was, that
as a year and three-quarters' rent, amounting to
14/. 14s. was due, the goods had been removed
to avoid the distress. It was further shown. that
plaintiff had kept himself closely barricaded in his house
since the period of these events. All that the defendant had
done to the sign-board was measuring it at the Bull and
Butchers, where it was brought to him.
The jury awarded damages of 151., but pronounced the re-
moval of the chairs to be clandestine, considering all the cir-
cumstances of the case.
