utterly unnecessary. No. 8 suggests the utter failure
of general accommodation which would ensue, in
Scotland, on the withdrawal of bank-notes below 51.;

seeing that paper of the lower denominations forms
nearly three-fifths of the whole circulation of Scot-
land; and it demonstrates, on the other hand, the in-
calculable benefit which the existing system has pro-
duced, by developing all the great resources of that
country. No. 9 ably concludes these pleas for the
continued maintenance of that system, by the remark
that it has stood the tests of the rebellions of 1715
and 1745, of the crisis produced by the French Re-
volution, of the panic in England of 1825, of the great
failures among us in 1837, and the critical period of
1839-40. We are delighted to perceive that the re-
presentatives of the whole " county interest," as it is
called, of Scotland, are instructed to give their vigor-
ous support, in Parliament, to representations and
remonstrances of this kind against the extension of
the Bill of last session to Scotland. Should these be
successful, it will of course be felt that what is thus
bad for Scotland, cannot be good for England and
Wales, or for Ireland; and so we may hope for the
repeal of the Premier's most obnoxious legislation of
1844 on banking.

The Madrid Gazette, of the 30th ult., announces
an interview on the 23d between the QUERN and a
deputation from the province of Guipuzcoa. Don
PEDRO DE ARANA thus addressed her MAJaSTY
" Madam,—Circumstances, independent of my will,
have hitherto prevented my expressing to you the feel-
ings of respect and profound gratitude which tho foral
deputation of your very faithful province of Guipuzcoa,
re-established by your royal decree of the 4th of July
last, commissioned me, on the 26th of the same month,
to convey to your Majesty. This deputation, Madam,
is the same that governed the country in the fatal month
of October, 1841. Faithful to your Majesty and to your
august mother, it nobly fell with the generous men who,
at that memorable and unfortunate period attempted,
more bravely than successfully, to save the precious
object which the nation later reconquered. With that
deputation also fell the ancient and liberal institutions
of the Basque provinces—patterns of the wisdom of past
times, and monuments of government and administra-
tion which might afford instruction to modern times.
On commencing the work of restoration, your Majesty
has given us to understaud that, as a just and religious
Sovereign, you respect the sanction of the legislative
power, and that your noble heart will not forget the
sacrifices made in your cause and that of the country.
We therefore beg your Majesty to accept our sincerest
thanks for this act of justice—the prelude, no doubt, to
other acts more important still. May your Majesty be
assured that the foral deputation of Guipuscoa will never
forget such a blessing."
The Qtaizix replied—
"lt is extremely agreeable to me to hear from thy
mouth the homage done me by the foral deputation of
our most faithful provinces of Guipuzcoa. I am Rot
ignorant of the exalted deeds whereby they have ac-
quired claims to my gratitude in times unfortunate to
the monarchy, and the share they had in those ever
memorable events. I thank you for your loyalty, which
has never belied itself. I hope I shall be able to acknow-
ledge it by labouring for your happiness."
It was generally believed that the Marquis Dri
MIRAFLORES would be President of the Senate.

The bankrupt said that he did all this by the direction
of Mr. Banner.

The King of the FRENCII, on his arrival at the
Chateau d'Eu, granted an amnesty to fifty State pri-
soners, confined chiefly for political offences. The
fact is thus announced in the Journal des Debats :
" The KING, in commemoration of the late events in
Morocco, has just signed at the Chateau d'Eu an
ordonnance, granting full and entire pardon to fifty
political prisoners. The royal clemency is extended
to two classes—first, to all the individuals whose term
of imprisonment would expire in the year 1847, or
before that period; and, second, to a certain number
of individuals condemned to punishments much lon-
ger, some of them extending to twenty years, and
even to transportation." Neither this, however, nor
any act of grace on the part of his MAJZSTY, will re-
concile the Opposition press to Louis Pnuarri, or
make them pardon him for daring to cross the Chan-
nel and visit the young Queen of ENGLAND. M.
THIBRS'S journal is more furious than ever on the
subject. If the two countries were on the eve of a
bloody war, more exciting language could not be used
for stirring up the worst passions of the human breast.
" The voyage of the KING to England," says the
Constitutionnel, "undertaken at the present moment,
has not the character of a simple exchange of politeness
with the Queen of E.GLAND ; and whatever care may
be taken to give to this visit an air of being purely
personal, public opinion in both countries will, with
reason, see in it an act of a political character. What
can the KING do in England at such a moment ? At
a time when, at the instigation of the English, brave
Frenchmen are having their throats cut without
benefit to their country ? How could the Ministry
have advised such a deplorable voyage ? Why have
they not rather laid hold of every plausible excuse
to postpone it ? If they had been a little more
jealous of the honour of France; if the Government
had a just sentiment of what becomes her dignity,
would they have gone to solicit in England an ap-
pearance of a good understanding, which no longer
exists ? When they shall have received some praises
in the English journals, some applause from the Eng-
lish public, some skilful flatteries from the Court of
England, they will return to France, mystified and
content. Our Ministerial journals will be charged to
extol English hospitality, and to congratulate the two
countries on their union, and fresh sacrifices will be
made at Otaheite or elsewhere. Paltry vanity, and
profound weakness—a search after trifling suc-
cesses, and indifference to the true glory of the coun-
try, are the true character of our Government. It
abandons the honour and the interests of the country
to gratify itself with the insignificant orations pre-
pared for it by our neighbours ; it has created a Duke-
dom of Isly, and at the same time abandons the fruits
of the victory. The Government desire to revive
the entente cordiale, and the English alliance is spoken
of! The state of public feeling in France cannot be
known to them. Let them go through the provinces
and interrogate, not our Opposition men, but those
who from calculation or from indifference give their
votes to Ministerial Deputies, and they will every-
where find a feeling of discontent and irritation
against the English Government. Nothing can be
less popular than this entente cordiale, which has pro-
duced for us nothing but embarrassment, humiliations,
and the disavowal of the acts of our brave officers."
After other similar phrases the article thus con-
cludes :
" The entente cordiale is then, as it is understood, a
vain word, and has never produced but sacrifices on one
side or other for small objects. The English Ministers
have created embarrassments for themselves, the French
Ministers have accepted humiliation, the two nations are
discontented in different degrees. It was a forced mar-
riage, sad is always on the point of being dissolved for
incompatibility of temper. What then is the King to do
in England ? To renew false appearances ? To simu
late an alliance which our Ministers did not choose to
accept wken it would have been glorious and profitableto us, and of which they do not appear to be jealous but
when it humbles us ? to accept the plaudits of England
at the moment when the subjects of England are killing
the French at Otaheite ? The Ministry which recom-
mended this journey has seldom given the King ethic(
more improper or impolitic. Does M. Guizot think the:
the Administration can never be sufficiently unpopular ?"
The Journal du Havre" exhibits the same hostile
spirit

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A young man, named John Kelly, was charged with
committing a most violent and unprovoked assault on
William Long last night.
The complainant, who appeared in Court with a fear-
ful gash under his eye, stated that he was going on his
way home through Drury-lane last night, about eleven
o'clock, when he was stopped by two women. One of
them laid hold of the collar of his coat and held him
while the other attempted to force her hand into his
pocket. He resisted them, and after a short struggle he
succeeded in pushing them away from him. Imme-
diately upon his doing so, the prisoner came up and
struck him a tremendous blow in the eye, which felled
him to the ground. The two women ran away, and the
prisoner was about to follow them, when a policeman
happened to come up and took the prisoner into custody.
The officer stated that the prisoner was very violent
on his road to the station-house, and several times at-
tempted to kick the complainant.
The prisoner, in his defence, denied the whole charge,
and said he had never struck the complainant at all.
He believed the constable had a spite against him, and
that was the reason he had been taken into custody.
Mr. JARDINE said, it was very evident that a most
brutal assault had been committed, and therefore he
should sentence the prisoner to fourteen days' impri-
sonment.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
A decent-looking elderly man, who gave the name of
James Brown, was charged with the following daring
robbery :
On the previous night the prisoner went into the tap-
room of the Guildford Arms, Guildford-street, Russell-
Square, and after remaining there a few minutes walked
down to the collar, opened the door and very deliberately
stowed away in his pockets several bottles of Guinness's
stout, &c , until he almost resembled the bee in the fable,
clogged to embarrassment with the plunder. Meantime
Mr. White, the landlord, who had observed him from the
commencement allowed him to proceed out of the cellar,
and when advancing towards the street-door seized him,
sant fora policeman, and gave him into custody. On the
way to the station-house he had the assurance to say the
bottles were his own, and defied the landlord to identify
them. He was fully committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Stephen Austin, a young man of decent appearance,
was charged with being drunk, and causing a great dis-
turbance at the house of Mr. Wisp, a tradesman, living
in Carnaby• street, Carnaby-market, and also with
doing certain wilful damage.
The housekeeper of the complainant stated, that the
prisoner came to the house between nine and ten o'clock
last night,and attempted to force his way into the apart-
ments of the lodgers, a man and his wife living on the
second floor, in doing which he was so extremely violent
that he actually broke a hole through the wall. As he
would not be pacified he was given into the custody of
the police.

" We are assured by a person connected with the
Chancery of the Legion of Honour, that the Grand Cor-
don of the Order founded by Napoleon, is to be conferred
by the King in person, before he quits Windsor, upon
the principal Ministers of Victoria ; among others
Robert Peel and Aberdeen. This will be in the way of
return for the Garter, which is to be conferred on the
King. This resolution, which has been adopted in L
high quarter, has excited a clamour even among thost
who are accustomed to what is passing. 'They slake('
whether the prejudices of the people would not be rouaec
on hearing of such a piece of news ? M. Guizot replied
that he answered for everything, and that before the
country and Chambers, one must savoir tout oser."
The Semaphore de Marseilleg of the 3d instait,
states that the Duke D'AumaLß arrived at Bona or
the 18th of September, on his way to France. The
Prince was mat by the Mayor of the town, and in re-
ply to an address said—
" lam very grateful to you for the flattering senti-
ments you express towards me and my family. Da

Mr. MALTBY (to the prisoner)—What business had
you at the complainant's house ? Prisoner—
I went there for my wife. It is her who is
now living in the second floor with another man, who
passes for her husband. I was living in Cambridge, and
had a good business, but in the beginning of the year
I came to London on business, and during my absence
my faithless wife robbed me of my furniture and other
property to a very considerable amount, and eloped with
a young man lodger. Curses upon all young men
'odgers ! I'll never take any of them in again.—
(Laughter.) I only succeeded in tracing her out yes-
terday.
Mr. MALTnr—Well, but that is no reason why you
should injure the complainant's property.
Prisoner—Certainly not. I'll make good. the damage
I have done.

Mr. 3/1 ATI. B Y —Well, if you will undertake to do that
you are discharged, but you must not create any more
disturbance at the complainant's house.
Prisoner—But my property is there. How am Ito
get it?

Mr. Maltby did not reply, and the prisoner retired.

TORToNI'S a good deal of business was done, and the

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

MIDDLESEX REGISTRATION.
(THIS DAY.)
A court, for the registration of voters for the county
of Middlesex, residing within the City of London, was
held this day at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill,
before the Revising Barrister, Mr. L. Shadwell.
Mr. Coppeck and Mr. James appeared for the Liberals,
and Mr. Payne for the Conservatives.
Joseph Turnly, of the parish of All-hallows, Barking,
was objected to by Mr. Payne, and not appearing to
sustain his claim, his name was struck out.
Mr. James objected to the claim of John Garrett, of
All-hallows the Great.—The objection was disallowed.
Amos Losely, of the same parish, was objected to by
Mr. Payne.
Mr. Losely not having appeared, his name was struck
out of the list.
Henry Bettesvrorth, of Bank street, Dover, who
claimed out of property in All-hallows the Less, was
objected to by Mr. James.—The claim was allowed.
Jeffrey Joseph Shakerly was objected to by Mr. James,
but the objection was disallowed.
Charles Nix, who claimed from the parish of Under-
shaft, was struck out of the list.
Mr. James objected to Samuel Bell and Wm. Sharpe,
of the parish of St. Andrew by the Wardrobe.
The objections were allowed, and the names struck out.
Charles Hancock, of the same parish, was objected to
by Mr. Payne.—The objection was allowed.
Mr. James objected to J. Backlyton and George Tuff-
mil, whose names were struck out.
William Bonsey, who sought to register out of No. 2,
Copthall-court, was objected to by Mr. Coppock. It ap-
peared that Mr. Bonsey was rated for the house and oc-
cupied it. His claim was disallowed.
Mr. Horace Twiss came to support his claim to be
placed on the registry. He said he had now been sum-
moned to appear here for three or four years, and his
claim was always disallowed. He came forward to-day to
put an end to this vexatious proceeding. His object was
to have costs to put an end to this.
In answer to Mr. Payne, Mr. Twiss said he resided at
5, Park-place, and had a place at Paper-buildings in the
Temple, which he did not occupy.
Mr. Coppock said there was no objection to Mr. Twiss
on that ground. His right to be placed on the register
would depend upon an objection which included many
other ♦otes besides Mr. Twiss's. The objection was
whether the Temple claimants claimed in the right
parish, and if Mr. Twiss's ♦ote fell by the same objection
as the votes of others he could not complain.
Mr. Twiss said that was all fair, and then left the
Court.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS.)
IN TUE MATTER OF JOHN WETENHALL.
The bankrupt, a dealer on the Stock Exchange, was
this day examined at considerable length by Mr. Hardy,
respecting the application of some considerable sums,
the produce of stock, sold out on behalf of Lady Hayes.
It appeared, in the course of examination, that the
bankrupt had placed one sum in the London and West-
minster Bank in the joint names of Mr. Banner and him-
self, he having been ordered by her Ladyship to receive
his instructions from the former gentleman, but that
anothersum of 1,9001. was paid into J ones, Loyd, and Co.,
on the Ist of April, 1843,in his own name only, while upon
the same day a letter was written to her Ladyship, stating
that the amount had been paid into the London and
Westminster Bank as usual. It also appeared that above
1,1001. was drawn out without her Ladyship being in-
formed of the transaction.

The COMMIiSIONEA characterised the transaction as a
gross conspiracy, and would adjourn the bankrupt's
further examination sine die, which was done accordingly.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE and a full Bench of
Magistrates.)
This day being appointed for hearing appeals, the
court was crowded to excess by persons anxious to hear
the decision of the court in the appeal made against the
conviction for gambling in the house, No. 16, Leicester-
street, which excited so much interest about six or seven
months ago.
After the disposal of a number of parish appeals, in
which there appeared not the slightest point of general
interest, the case, " Appeal of John Harlewe against a
conviction of E. H. Maltby-, Esq.," was called on.
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Montague Chambers appeared
for the respondents, and Mr. Clarkson for the appellants.
Mr. BODKIN, after raising several technical objections
as to the jurisdiction of the Court in Quarter Session as-
sembled, which were overruled after much discussion,
proceeded to briefly state the facts of the case as fol-
lows :—The appellant, John Harlowe, kept a cigar shop
at the house, No. 16, Leicester-street, being part of a
house of which he was proprietor, and the upper part of
which was used as a common gaming•house, and with
which and his shop a private door opened. Although
he was not proved to hare been gaming in the upper part
of the house, or taking part in any of the trans-
actions going on there, yet he was seen coming
out of it in his shirt sleeves continually shortly
before the police broke in, and he (Mr. Bodkin)
thought that under such circumstances the conviction
was good. The Learned Counsel then called Mr. In-
spector Baker, of the C division of police, who detailed
all the facts of the caption, which must be fresh in the
memory of our readers, and was subjected to a searching
cross-examination by Mr. Clarkson.
A map of the premises having been produced in Court,
The Assistant JUDGZ, after a consultation with the
Bench, considered that the fact of the existence of a
direct communication between the two houses had not
been sufficiently proved, and decided that the conviction
should be quashed.
