series and calamities of a protracted and sanguinary
war. The words of the toast were—"-May the present
friendly relations between France and England long
continue." He would beg leave to alter one word, and
say, may they continue for ever.— (Loud and long-pro-
.tracted cheering followed the enunciation of this senti-
ment, the entire company standing, and the ladies in the
galleries waving their handkerchiefs, participating in the
enthusiasm evinced by the assemblage below.)
This having concluded the list of toasts, the Mayor
and principal guests retired, and in a few minutes the
banquet hall was completely deserted.
The French officers are to-day entertained by Colonel
Trevor and the officers of the 59th Regiment.

DEPARTURE OF THE KING OF
THE FRENCH.
(From the Times.)
In the very clever and ingenious tale of ' Hajji Baba
in England," there are few things which excite the sur-
prise an disgust of that illustrious traveller more than
the off hand manner in which the arrangements for the
reception of the Persian Ambassador at our Court are
conducted. lie is even considerably shocked that no
procession should have been formed to greet the en-
trance of so great a man and his suite into the metro-
polis, out of suitable respect for one who was delegated
to represent so supreme and august a potentate as the
Shall ; and at first he will not believe but that all the
passers-by in carriages and horseback, whose attention
the new corners so forcibly attract, can be any other than
a cavalcade appointed to escort them. We apprehend,
however,. that had that acute and lively Oriental de-
ferred his peregrinations till these days, he would
have been completely aghast, and absolutely at his

usted equilibrium of localities and approaches—no

taireiunvent or overreach you. Poor Hajji would have
'gapped the eylids of ignorance over the eyes of asto-
leishment, and placed the finger of suspense on the lips

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.
NEWMARKET, SUNDAY, Two O'CLOCK, ?.31.

In the programme of the ensuing meeting, published
on Saturday, we indicated by an asterisk the horses that
were in the town up to Friday, omitting, however,

several others ; making the number now in the town
greater than has been known in the memory of the oldest
inhabitant ; as a proof we may mention that, out of the
forty-six horses engaged in the Cesarewitch, all are on
the spot except Carnpanero, who broke down at Stam-
ford, Pickpocket, Haitoe, The Currier, Telemachus,
Rowena, William le Gros. and Everton. Una pulled
up lame yesterday morning. Lord Albemarle in•
tends to run the Emperor and The Brewer, but
not Delapre. It is not unlikely that William
le Gros will come ; he ran second to Alice
Hawthorn at Dumfries, and on the following night
was backed at Manchester, at 14, 15, and 16 to 1.
John Day has nothing here at present ; Old England
will arrive to-morrow, but from the number of horses
amiss in the stable, it is doubtful whether anything else
will come. As yet, the arrivals are few ; but, from the
orders far post-horses, and the number of places secured
for the extra coaches, there is every reason for expecting
one of the fullest meetings ever known. The only
fashionable names that have reached us are the Earl and
Countess of Chesterfield, Earl and Countess of Albe-
marle, Earl and Countess of Miltown, Lord C. Manners,
the Hon. Capt. and Mrs. Roos, the Hon. Colonel and Mrs.
Anson, Hon. H. Forester, llon. Capt. Spencer, Co-
lonel and Lady Alice Peel, Mr. C. Greville, Mr. It
Greville, Mr. S. Graham, Mr. Worrall, Mr. Ramsbottom.
Sir G. Heathcote will be at his old quarters, the Crown
Inn, Chesterford.
Some showers fell yesterday afternoon and the course
of the night, but the ground is still harder than trainers
like ; a few hours of steady rain would be of immense
service in this neghbourhood. The Ratan case comes
on next Tuesday morning previous to the races ; the
investigation is undertaken by the stewards in conse-
quence of a letter received from the Hon. Captain Rous
and Lord G. Bentinck, requesting them to inquire into
all the circumstances connected with the affair, in order,
to use an ancient but not inappropriate phrase, that the
saddle may be put on the right horse.

Such sentiments cannot fail of being appreciated by 4 1:31
every enlightened mind throughout the country, and to tr 40207ttton
increase the admiration, not unmixed with personal es-
teem, with which the effur:s of his Majesty to
cultivate an entente cordials have been regarded. i
Nothing could have tended more effectually to
cement the good understanding which has at length
been created between the two nations than such a decla-
ration ; and but for his Majesty's intimation of his wish
that his visit might be considered as a private one, such
demonstrations would have been almost universal. That
such a course was wise on his part is proved by the
jealousy with which his Majesty's presence in England
is regarded by the Opposition press of France, whose
conductors cannot oonceal their mortification at the
prospect to which his reception in this country, and the
sentiments to which it has given occasion, must, of
necessity, have conducted them. The Republican looks
for war, as affording the sole chance of ascendancy that
remains to his party. The Legitimatist, equally mis-
guided by a vicious and virulent press, regards the culti-
vation of amicable relations with England as equally fatal
to his hopes. The visit of Queen Victoria to Eu was
hardly more acceptable to them than that of their own
Monarch to Windsor. Their efforts, therefore, are
neither unnatural nor unexpected ; and if they have
proved ineffectual it has been because the great mass of
the people of France aro no more influenced by their
malice than the reflecting portion of the British public
are by the gibes and misrepresentations of which our own
Foreign Minister is the object, for his imputed sacri-
fices of the honour of England to the interests aid
demands of France ! Unsuccessful in their frantic
endeavours to exaggerate any contre temps that
seemed likely to disturb a peace of some thirty years'
duration, they attempt to account for the re-
ception of the King in a manner calculated to
wound the amour-propre of their countrymen. They
attribute our earnestly-expressed desire to cultivate an
amicable understanding, to a haughty sense of our own
superiority ; and add that we should not have received
Marshal Soult as favourably as we did had he not been
unsuccessful in his operations against us. Now every
Englishman knows full well that it was the gallantry
which he displayed on all occasions in which he came
into collision with the British forces that inspired the
cordiality of esteem with which he was received when
he visited us a few years ago. The heroism displayed
by the French troops in the Peninsular war and at
Waterloo, to which the warmest testimony has been
borne by nearly all our military writers, has inspired a
similar feeling in regard to the French army generally.
We have found the French worthy foes, but may ask
with the poet,—
" What better than a noble foe,
Unless a noble friend ? "
We assume no superiority over them, still less should
we base the hospitalities due to the illustrious strangers
who are now among us, on so arrogant a feeling, even
had we been conscious of its existence. Were the people
of England, however, liable to such a charge, it must
surely be considered inconsistent with the anxiety they
have displayed to remain at peace with the nation of
whose inferiority they are declared to be so satisfied.
The imputation is almost too absurd for grave refutation.

Spanish citizens, under the most despotic of their
rulers ? Such are the blessings for which the
Spanish nation has exchanged the quiet and
constitutional rule of the Duke of Victory ; who,
if he derived his authority from his influence over
the army, exhibited a forbearance in its exercise,
which made it finally a party to his overthrow. Is
he then to blame for availing himself of a legitimate
opportunity for reminding the Spanish people of the
difference between him and his successor ? Cer-
tainly not. Still less for the manner in which he
has performed that duty to himself and to them.

LACY INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 12.

IN THE MATTER OF JAMES SAWYER.

The insolvent, who had been an attorney, in Bow-
lane, Cheapside, was opposed on the part of a widow
woman named Rokes. The complaint against the
insolvent was that he had defrauded Mrs. Rokes out
of a considerable sum of money, the loss of which had
reduced her to distress, and had obliged her to sell
some furniture to bring her case before the Court.
The evidence proved that Mrs. Rokes's late husband
and son were in partnership as undertakers, in Union-
street, Borough, and that the son had saved 2,0001.,
which he kept in a box, and shortly before his death
gave it to her for her exclusive benefit. Her husband
afterwards died, and she administered to his effects,
and took out letters of administration to about 600/.
In February, 1842, her son-in-law, named North,
was heard in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, on which
occasion she was subpoenaed as a witness. She con-
sulted the insolvent, and mentioned the circumstance
about the 2,0001. given her by her son, which she had
not set forth when she took out letters of administra-
tion. He told her that she had committed an offence
for which she could be transported, as the property
should have been mentioned. The poor woman became
alarmed, and it was arranged that she should sell out
her stock and place it in his hands as a deposit, which
she did, the amount being 2,4001. North was finally
heard in April, 1842, and until after that period no
application was made to him that it might be again
invested. The insolvent told her that North's cre:li-
tors were entitled to a portion, and hence the selling
of it out of the funds. He had made advances to her,
which were set forth in a book, to about 400/., and
that was the whole she had obtained of the sum
of 2,4001.
The insolvent stated that he was to allow her in-
terest for the money. He had advanced her 500/.,
had a bill for law costs (which had not been deli-
vered), and he admitted that he owed her a balance
of 1,4001. He had used the money in his business,
and was at the time in a practice to some extent,
keeping his carriage and nine clerks. His banker's
book showed that he had only deposited small sums at
the period the money was deposited with him. He
had taken the opinion of counsel, and believed that the
mosey should have been returned in when the letters
of administration were taken out. He had not advised
her to make a different return, but she suggested that
the money should be deposited with him, and he "ac-
ceded" t') the suggestion. His insolvency arose from
the failure of a Mr. Hannan, who owed him 2,0001.,
.and he had other debts owing to him.
Sir C. F. WILLIAMS ordered an account to be fur-
nished to him of the disposition of the 2,400/. before
he gave his opinion.
Mr. CooKE asked the Court to appoint an early
day. The insolvent had been quite long enough out
of prison, and the interests of justice required a speedy
decision.

Mr. CHAMBERS prayed the Court to grant some
lays' delay. -
Sir C. F. WILLIams adjourned the case to Monday
week, and required the account of the money to be
furnished to him some days before the next occasion.

MAI?YLEBONE.

Caroline Berry, a meanly-dressed elderly woman,
and Elizabeth Phasey, a middle-aged female, respect-

Mrs. Goldie deposed that, on the 10th of July last,
she and her family went out of town, after leaving

and on her return, on the 2a of the present month,
Phasey informed her that the wardrobe had been
left open. She (Mrs. Goldie), who was convinced
that it was locked prior to her departure, examined it,
and found that a pair of diamond ear-rings, a diamond
brooch, an emerald ring, and a silk dress had been
extracted therefrom. She asked Phasey if she knew
anything of the missing articles, to which she replied
that she did not ; and, on her being further
questioned, she said that the only persons she could
suspect of having done anything wrong were the
prisoner Berry, an occasional charwoman at the
house, and a young man, named Edward Payne.
Mr. Loxc —Do you know anything of the man,
Payne ? Mrs. Goldie—All that I know of him, Sir,
is, that Phasey, my servant, told me he had slept in
the house while I was away, and that she first became
!Acquainted with him while she was with me at Lea-
mington some time ago.
William Henry Clarke, shopman to Mr. Dobree,
12, Gilbert-street, Grosvenor-square, produced the
diamond brooch and ear-rings (articles of a most
splendid description), which had been pledged at dif-
ferent periods by the prisoner Berry for a small
amount, she (Berry) alleging that they were " paste,"
and belonged to Malame Davis, 15, Gilbert street.
Mrs. Goldie identified the valuables brought for-
ward by the last witness; he (witness) was, as it ap-
peared, young in the trade, and was not aware of the
worth of the property which he had taken in.
Berry, in answer to the charge, said that the pro-
perty was given to her by Phasey to pawn, and she
was not aware there was anything wrong. Phasey
denied this in most vehement terms.
Both the prisoners were remanded till Friday.
CLERKEIV WELL.

Thomas Triggey, who described himself as an
assistant officer of the Court of Requests, Kingsgate-
street, was charged with extorting money from Mrs.
Ann Waugh, a poor person, living at No. 11,
Thomas's-buildings, Somers Town, under the pre-
tence of giving her legal assistance.
Mrs. Waugh stated that she owed Mr. Goodwin, of
Chichester-rents, Chancery-lane, for a sack of pota-
toes, which she had purchased of him on the " tally
system," at his shed. On her inability to pay, a
summons, and subsequently execution, was issued
against her, for debt and costs, amounting to upwards
of Bs., and by the order of the court she was ordered
to pay it off by 2s. instalments. On going to the
court, on Wednesday, to pay, a man named Terne,
whom she pointed out to the magistrate, told her she
was too late, as the court was closed ; but if she
allowed him to act for her, he would make it " all
right." He then introduced the prisoner Triggey to
her at an adjoining public-house, who told her that
she would have ss. Bd. to pay, on which she at once
went and raised the money by pledging her cloak.
She then paid Triggey the sum he demanded for his
services, and treated Terne with a pint of beer with
the only remaining 2d. she possessed, leaving herself
and her two children destitute. She hereupon satis-
fied her mind that everything was arranged; .but, on
Friday, execution was levied on her goods. Terne,
whom she had seen before at the court, had, on that
occasion, said he was an officer belonging to it.
Joseph Terne, who at first objected to give his
name to the magistrate, was then placed at the bar.
Mr. Goodwin stated that on proceeding to the poor
widow's house to execute his warrant for the goods he
had sold her, she presented her receipt frOm Triggey,
showing she had paid him the money, and she had
considered him as the landlord at the time, he being
behind the bar, and that gave her sufficient confidence.
On the warrant of execution being examined, it
appeared to have been delayed since September,
through the neglect of the officer.
James Wheldan, who described himself as "bailiff"
to the court, and said he was appointed by Mr. Ser-
geant Heath, and sworn in, like the other officers,
"every morning," gave an aceount of himself with
much hesitation. He said that Triggey executed the
warrants with him, but was not authorised to receive
money. Terne was an agent, getting whatever he
could ; neither Triggey nor Terne had piid him the
money received from Mrs. Waugh.
Some blank forms were found on Triggey, upon
which the BENCH remarked, after
perusing"
This shows what a nest of iniquity it is ; Mr. Ser-
geant Heath must be shown these ; poor ignorant

of indifference
Terne treated the thing as a matter
and are frightened by designing men out of their
until he was charged with " stealing the money."
The MAGISTRATE then sent to request the attend-
ance of Mr. Heath, or some other principal official of
the court, to explain its rules and proceedings. This
being found impracticable at the time, the prisoners
were remanded to Monday.
WORSH/P-S TR EE T.

Jane Bove, ;smartly-dressed girl, was charged

before Mr. Broughton with having, on three several
occasions, disturbed the rest of Mr. Cr. H. Coward,
the district surgeon of police, in the New North-
road, by ringing his house-bell withotzt lawful excuse.
The complainant stated that about one o'clock on
'Wednesday morning he was disturbrA by a violent
ringing at his night-bell, on answering which he
found the prisoner at the door, who re quested the im-
mediate attendance of one of his assistants to visit a
sick man who was lying dangerousliy ill at a house in
Britannia-street, City-road. One of his assistants
was immediately dispatched to the given address, but
he remained so long absent that witness became
alarmed, and obtained the assistance of a policeman,
with whom he went in search of him in all directions,
without success. After more than three hours' ab-
sence the young man at length returned hack, and
said that he had been unable to find the place. On
the following night, about the same hour, the prisoner
called again, and said that his assistant was in-
stantly wanted at the house of a dying man named
Phillips, in Monyer-street, Hoxton, whither he was
accordingly sent, but after a protracted absence he came
back, and said they had been again hoaxed, as nu
such person resided there. When she called the
second time witness was not aware that she was the
same person who had led them such a wild goose chase
on the preceding night ; but about one o'clock on that
morning she paid him a third visit, and was deliver-
ing a similar summons for his assistant, when he
recognised her as the same girl who had broken his
rest on the two previous occasions, and gave her into
custody.
Police-constable No. 98 stated that, on her way to
the station-house, the prisoner confessed that her con-
duct was the result of a preconcerted scheme between
herself and Mr. Henry Petch, the compainant's
assistant, to enable him to enjoy the pleasure of her
society.
Mr. Coward said that he had questioned his as-
sistant on the subject, who had admitted, after a good
deal of hesitation, that the girl's statement was per-
fectly correct. He had some previous intimacy with
the girl, and not being permitted to leave the house
after it was closed for the night, they had resorted to
this stratagem to bring them together.
On being asked if she wished to say anything, the
prisoner declared that Mr. Henry would be best able
to explain all about the transaction.
Mr. BROUGHTON ordered her to pay a shilling for
her discharge.
