On Saturday the King of the French, accompanied by
Count Montalivet and three Generals, left Neuilly for
Versailles, and returned in the evening, when his Ma-
jesty received at dinner the Grand Duke of Hesse, Baron
Pasquier, and the Ministers of Sardinia, Sweden, Por-
tugal, and Saxony.
The King, by royal ordonnance, has dissolved the
Polytechnic School. By another ordonnance, of the
same date, the Minister of the Navy and Colonies, Ad-
miral de Mackay, is entrusted, ad interim, with the de-
partment of War.
The Government, it was said, had received fresh newt
by telegraph. Marshal Bugeaud has left Sala Magranfat

Joinville has orders to bombard all the towns on the
coast, but not to remain before any of them longer than
two days.

the Moorish troops had entered the town of Tangier as
soon as the French cannonade commenced, and destroyed
the houses of the consuls, besides committing other el.
cesses • but the report was not believed.
The Madrid Gazette, of the 12th, states that the Bank.
of San Fernando was only to advance 50,000,000 of
reals for August, because the Minister of Finance had
considered that sum sufficient for the wants of the
Government, and that the proceeds of the taxes collected
by the Bank in July last, bad amounted to 57,546,085
reals.

LAW AND POLICE.
There were fifteen cases heard yesterday in tho Court
of Bankruptcy, before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.
In one of them the bankrupt was opposed on the ground
of having vexatiously defended an action. In the course
of his (the bankrupt's) cross-examination, it appeared
that the Learned Counsel, who was severely, pressing
him, had actually signed the plea on which the defence
was mainly grounded. The Commissioner smiled, the
Counsel blushed, and, ultimately, the bankrupt was passed.
The Central Criminal Court resumed its sittings, and,
