about to re-enter the bosom of that eminently French
family. Thus are three European royalties eAsblisheil
on 'lns noble and ancient basis.

This is not the mere effect of chance. The Ring of
the French, with that instinct which in him is genius,
has admirably understood that the alliances of France
raust be of two sorts. Owing to her past and her pre-
sent position in Europe, France must have monarchical
alliances. Owing to her ideas and institutions, France
must have liberal alliances. The King of the French
makes those two sorts of alliances go together, and
whilst he was fraternising in London with the Consti-
tutional Government, issued from the Revolution of
1688, he was concluding at Naples a monarchical alli-
ance with the house of Bourbon. This is sound and
grand policy."
The French Three per Cents. continued firm, and
were quoted on Sunday at 83f. 65c. for the settle-
ment, and at Baf. 80c. for the end of December.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS,
(T FELS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE and a full Bench of
Magistrates.)
The first-December Sessions for the county of Middle-
sex commenced this morning at the usual hour, at the
Court-hou±e, Clerken well-green.
The calendar contained more than the average number
of prisoners, there appearing no less than 63 cases, of
which 54 were charges of felony, and 9 for assaults and
other mi-detnestioura. •
A fine able-bodied young man, named George Knight,
was indicted fur stealing a coat, of the value of les., the
property of Thos. Marshall.
It appeared by the evidence, that the prisoner entered
the shop of the prosecutor, and taking up the article
named in the indictment, ran off with it. He was, how-
ever, eventually taken in custody, after a sharp run.
The jury at once returned a verdict of Guilty, and
The COURT, after cautioning the prisoner, sentenced
him to three months' imprisonment with hard labour.
The Prisoner—My Lord, I entreat of you to send me
uut of the country. I have lost my character, and for
the last three years I find it impossible to earn an honest
livelihood.
The IiaStsTANT-JuDGA—Have you reflected suffici.
ently upon the matter before you make the requeXt?
Prisoner—l have, and I think that if I went to an-
other country I
_might eventually earn an honest live-
lihood.
The AsstsTANT-Jrpon.--If this be your wish, I shall
respite the sentence until next session, when some course
will be adopted if you still be of the same opinion.
The prisoner was then removed from the bar, after
thinking the Court with every appearance of sincerity.
John 'Were was indicted for stealing a knife, the pro-
perty of John Burge's.
The Jury returned ar.-verdict:of Guilty and the Court
sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment
with hard labour.
Just as the prisoner was removed from the bar, the
Police Constable, D 1681 who took him into custody,
stated to the Cbtot that he had found the duplicate of a
Waterloo medal upon the prisoner. It bore the name of
James Heaney, and, upon inquiry at the Horse Guards,
he found that a person of the name of Heaney had been
discharged in the year 1817, from the 2d battalion of
the Coldstream GuatdS,
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE expressed his hopes that the
statement of the police-constable would gain publicity
through the medium of the press. There were few relics
more valued and prised by an old veteran than a medal,
and he desired the constable to use every exertion to find
the owner,

Tho sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were

The affair of „ Zurbano, according to the advises re-
ceived within the last few days; will soon be reckoned
among the mere petty emeutes which so frequently dis-
tract, without revolutionising, Spain; and, as in the his-
tory of most countries, for a time at least, the Govern-
ment of Nurvaez appears to have acquired in the eyes
of his countrymen increased solidity and power. Tne
effect of a strong Government in Spain might, it is ac-
knowledged, prove highly beneficial, .were its efforts
directed to the preservation of the constitu-
tion ; but, as is generally the case, and as was
particularly exemplified in the fate of 'Espartero; men
who hesitate at strong measures, are generally those
who have most at heart the welfare of their native
land,

There is not a syllable of news in the City, that may
,
be dependett uponi relative to the robbery of Rogers and
Co, That a strong desire enists to learn the mode in
which the delinquency Wag COMUlitted is certain, but
think that no clue will be publicly given as to the trans-
action. Has negotiation is said to be out of the ques-
tion, whether for 4,0001, or 5,0004 to return the whole
amount, the detective principle will be strongly exerted.
The loss of the Liverpool line of packet ship Eliza-
beth, Captain Paton, has caused an expression of great
regret by a numerous class of parties in the City. The
veteran Commander was well known, not only at the
out- port above named, but also in the port of London.
Captain Paton, we are induced to believe, has for years
had the means of enjoying his etium cum dignatati—but
he could not bear a state of inactivity.
The Comntissionera took this morning Three per Cent.
Consols for Money, at 1001, and the Pew Threeasnd•a-
Quarter per Cents. at 1021—in all, about 15,0001. were
