THE WIZARD OF THE NORTH IN
THE COURT OF REQUESTS.
It having been made generally known in the neigh-
bourhood o this Court that the Wizard of the North,
or in other terms, Mr. Anderson, now performing at th
Adelphi Theatre, had been summoned for the cost of a
new hat, alleged to have been damaged during the per-
formance at the Adelphi, by reason of the said Wizard
having beked a plumb-pudding therein, eery avenue
was densely crowded.
The plaintiff, a gawky and unwieldy farmer, named
Fogton, upon beine called on to state the grounds of
his claim, produced' from a sporting pattern silk hand-
kerchief, the " Londen made, in question, which cer-
tainly bore every evidence of queer culinary treatment,
it being literally marked on the outside with dabs of
paste, and within, and upon the white kid lining smears
of the yolk of an egg, most pertinaciously kept their
place as if in readiness to perfect that adhesion to the
head necessary upon a windy day.
"I am a- thinkin this be enough ground Mustor Sirs,"
said Fogton, turning over his hat with a most lugu-
brious
may
lat countenance, which convulsed the Court. "Ye
—and laugh yer fill, but it ern I that can join
yer, as gho

The countryman was • evidently working himself

hurry of the performance, without the usual and neces-
sary the
cabalistic words being mentally muttered over it,to restore it to its original purity. He was sorry, very
sorry, and as soon as he had heard of it—for the man
had made no complaint at the period of the performance
—he had hastened to rectify the effects of his forgetful-
ness. Added he, " Will the Commissioners and the
plaintiff be satisfied with a hat equal in every respect to
what that one was ere it entered the theatre ?"
-"
" A very fair proposition, but the costs
"I," replied the Wizard, "will pay the costs."
The countryman smiled content, and at this moment
the Commissioner had got the hat in his hand, about to
toss it over the long green baize-covered table, when the
Wizard, suddenly producing a small ivory wand, pointed
it at the hat, said, in a mild and gentlemanly tone, "It
were as well, if it be returned at all, It should be returned
new?,

To the astonishment all present, this was the case,

matter with which the hat was bedaubed, had disappear.

could scarcely have been greater had it but ust left the

waved his mystic wand for the fourth time over the Great Metro-

Strand Theatre four years ago—he has now performed during five
years 540 nights (at a moderate calculation) before 4.0,0(0 spec-
tators !—one and all proclaim him to be the only living professor of
Scientific Delusions.

Were the Magi of old—Pythagnrus, Polydoras, Dide, Paracelsus,

hold the WONDERS OF THE WIZARD, they would be as
much su•prised as our great granefathers would be to look on our

prove by ocular demonst-ation, that he can make the " eyes the

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1844.

In the House of Lords no business was done. The
Earl of RADNOR made some remarks on a pamphlet
published under the auspices of the Pro-Corn-law
League, which he described as the most discreditable
publication that had ever emanated from the press.
The Duke of RICHMOND considered the pamphlet
a most excellent production, and said he never would
leave tile Agricultural Protection Society until they
had completely put down the Anti-Corn-law League,
the most unconstitutional body that ever existed in
England. Ile considered the pamphlet as good as his
Noble Friend considered it bad.
The House a ljourned at Sev'n o'clock.

In the Commons, after some routine business, and
the presentation of petitions, Sir It. PEEL laid on the
table certain papers relative to the late events in
Greece, and spoke in terms of admiration of the
people of that country, who, under very critical cir-
cumstances, had established the principles of free re-
presentative goti ernment combined with a limited
monarchy.
Mr. Fox Minix gave notice that he would, on
Tuesday next, call the attiAation of the House to pe-

titions which he had presented relative to religious
tests in Scotch Universities.

madness—they now pay for their folly—they have
sown the wind, and reap the whirlwind. Young
England may boast its ferocious FERaAND, but Old
England will look with a disdainful eye upon the
employers of men who, though useful to a party at
particular times, eternally disgrace any party that uses
them.

The main topic of the evening then came on. The
House was crowded to excess to hear the charges
which Mr. FERRAN') was to substantiate against Sir
J. GRAHAM and Mr. HOGG. Mr. FE RAND rose,
as Members imagined, to adduce proofs in support
of the statements which he had made; but, after
some unmeaning flourishes, he said the House
of Commons was the last tribunal for Englishmen to
appeal to for justice, and then walked out of the
House. This ludicrous exit of the Tory Member
for Knaresborough took the House by surprise. The
discussion on his absurd charges, however, was con-
tinued. Mr. HOGG vindicated himself against an
attack made on him by the Times, in the most success-
ful manner, and sat down amid loud cheers from all
parts of the House.

Sir JAMES GRAHAM briefly alluded to the imputa-
tions cast on himself, and left the matter to the judg-
ment of the House.
Sir ROBERT PEEL advised the House to let some
time elapse before they came to a decision, as any
decision they might come to would be regarded as a
precedent for future Parliaments. He therefore re-
commended the adjournment of the discussion.
Lord JOHN RUSEJILL had no objection to the ad-
journment. At the same time, he had no hesitation
in stating what was his impression. "With respect
to the course which we are called upon to pur-
sue," said he, "in regard to the Ho-
nourable and Learned Gentleman the Mem-
ber for Beverley, I think that that course does
not admit of any difficulty. The Hon. and Learned
Gentleman had read from a newspaper an extract from
a speech made by the Hon. Member for Knares
borough. We have heard the Hon. Member for
Knaresborough state that that report is correct.
I think, therefore, with all due deference to other
Hon. Members, and more especially to you, Sir,
that if the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to-
morrow put in that newsiaper, and has the
passage real, that the House of Commons
then come to a resolution to the effect that
an Honourable Member of this House, mentioning,
of course, the name of Mr. FERRAND, had acknow-
kdged himself to be the author of the speech pro-
duced, and that the House is of opinion that the
charge contained in that speech against another Hon.
Member of this House, is a false and calumnious
charge.—(Cheers.) I, for one, am prepared to take
that course.—(Loud cheers.)"

Lord STANLEY concurred in the view taken of the
question by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and then denounced
in strong terms the imputations made by Mr. FER-
RAND against some of the most Honourable Members
of the House. He did not believe that in referring
to the charge made against Sir JAMES GRAHAM or
Mr. HOOO there was the smallest difference or shade
of difference of opinion in the House. But more
than that, he believed the Member who made these
charges had not the slightest ground for believing
they were true. This assertion was received with loud
cheers. The SPEAKER said, there was no question
before the House ; but if the House-wished to come
to any future determination on the subject, he would
recommend that the newspapers which had been ad-
mitted by the Hon. Member for Knaresborough
should be read by the clerk at the table, and then the
House should consider what further was to be done.
On this understanding, Members left the House almost
empty, and the affair will again be brought on this
afternoon. Whether Mr. FERRAND will attend is
another question. It is altogether a very un-
toward event. It is lamentable to see
men who were the most ardent supporters of the
Government but two years ago, now their most bit-
ter enemies ; and it is disgraceful to see Englishmen
denouncing the policy of Ministers, yet constantly
voting with them. If affairs go on in this way
the British Parliament will soon become as degraded
as the Spanish Cortes.

Mr. P. BORTNIVICK, another staunch supporter of
the Government, appropriately closed the ludicrous
scene, by some wild motion about the convocation of
the clergy. Neither Whig nor Tory would listen
to him, and some humane Member moved that the
House be counted; and, on the SPEAKER announcing
that only twenty-seven Members were present, the
House adjourned at Seven o'clock.

The power of the press, in checking abuses and
exposing misconduct, was never shown in a more
striking manner than in the case of Mr. FERRAND, in
the House of Commons, last night. But, for the
correct reports which industry and talent supply,
Mr. FERRAND might have gone on, propagating lies,
and disseminating fasehoods—not possibly of his own
making, but certainly, of his own imagining—without
fear of being called to an account. Or, if called to
an account, without any fear of being bound down to
the very words that he uttered ; compelled to avow
the speeches he made, and abide by his own oft re-
peated assertions ; or eat his own words, and confess
himself the speaker of that which had not the reality
of truth.

The cclumns of the press bore witness to
the dicta of Mr. FERRAND—he could not
flinch from them ; but he did flinch from
vindicating them, and he slunk, abashed and
ashamed, out of the House of Commons, where his
presence was no longer wanted, and where it will
require strong nerve if he be again seen. But for the
public press of Great Britain, Mr. FERRAND might
nave gone on for years in the course he had adopted;
and now by the circulation through every portion of
the British empire of the exposure of his tricks, a
lesson will he read to every man, not to depart from
the strict line of rectitude, nor, for-mere party pur-
poses, to deviate into the track of calumny and abuse.

How are the mighty fallen ! Alas, that a reformed
House of Commons should only be a bear-garden on
a large scale, and that senators should show such
plentiful lack of wisdom, as some of them now
exhibit. The shade of GEORGE CANNING looks from
Palace-yard i❑ disgust upon the proceedings of an
assembly which, if something be not done to purify

There is nothing so infectious as a row. It is
more catching even than the small-pox. Last night's
, proceedings in both Houses of Parliament form an
• apt illustration of this assertion, for about the same
time that the Commons were engaged with the
squabble between Messrs. FERRAND and HOGG, the
Lords were engaged in listening to an equally
edifying squabble between the Duke of RICHMOND
and the Earl of RADNOR. The row com-
menced by the Noble Earl asking his Grace
whether a certain pamphlet, published under
the auspices of the Pro-Corn-law League, was really
sanctioned by them, " for in his opinion, a more dis-
creditable work never emanated from the press."
There was surely no great offence in this question ;
yet the Noble Duke instantly fired up at it, and re-
plied--w ith as much acrimony as if he himself had
been the author of the vituperated pamphlet—that he
" felt that the proper course to adopt was not to an-
swer so paltry a question, further than to say that he
thought the work a most excellent one. He thought
his Noble Friend was quite as much in error in
the present instance, as he was when he last
attacked him. The author of the pamphlet was long
known, and although of similar politics to the Noble
Lord, yet he did not seek to destroy the agriculture of
the country. It was true the Noble Lord had
taken the chair at a late meeting of the Anti-Corn-
law League, where he certainly exhibited as a great
actor, and therefore it was natural that he should wish
to impugn a document which so successfully exhi-
bited the Anti-Corn-law League in its true
colours." This is hard hitting, especially the
insinuation that the Noble Earl was one of
those who sought to " destroy the agricul-
ture of the country;" yet it does not seem to
have produced the impression which his Grace evi-
dently anticipated from it, for the House, instead of
laughing, or cheering, or evincing the slightest sym-
pathy with his disinterested wrath, heard him with
the most frigid indifference; and as for the object of
all this acrimonious bitterness, he sat by smiling and
unconcerned, and apparently entertaining not the
slightest notion that the Noble Duke had been endea-
vouring to extinguish him by his sarcasm ! His Grace
nettled, we presume, at the idea of having expended
his righteous choler in vain, wound up his philippic
by the following alarming threat :—" For his own
part he would say, in reply to the observations of his
Noble Friend, that he would never leave the Agricul-
tural Protection Society until they had completely
succeeded in putting down the Anti-Corn-law League,
than which he believed there never existed in
England a more unconstitutional body." This is, in-
deed, a menace of tremendous significance ! Hear it,
ye COBDENS and BRIGHTS, and all ye minor lumi-
naries of the League, his Grace of RICHMOND will
never desist from his labours, until he has " succeeded
in putting down" your confederacy ! Close as wax
will he stick to the Agricultural Protection Society,
until he has trampled you, by means of that wonder..
ful Society, into dust, ground you to atoms,
and scattered you to the four, winds of hea-
ven ! We can imagine the consternation
that this ducal menace will produce among
the members of the Anti-Corn-law League.
We can imagine, also, the wailing and gnashing of
teeth, and the strewing of sackcloth and ashes on the
head, that it will occasion in Covent-garden—the
tribulation and despair of the audience, the subdued
and faltering tones of the speakers, conscious of their
approaching extinction. In mercy to a meek and
unoffending confederacy, we implore this tremendous
Duke not to carry his dreadful resolution into effect,
If it be absolutely necessary to his happiness that he
should extinguish some man or body of men, in
GoD's name let it be Sir ROBERT PEEL and the mem-
bers of her MAJESTY'S Government, and not the Anti-
Corn-law League ! What harm has this amiable con-
federacy ever done to him ? It has never, that we
know ef, falsely and wickedly accused him of being
a statesman of superior capacity ; it has never
so far sported with the sacred interests of truth as to
express its conviction that he has two ideas in his
head ; on the contrary, it has always made a point
of doing strict justice both to his motives and his un-
derstanding ; and to our thinking, it seems to be the
blackest possible act of ingratitude that he should
now strive to blot it out from the book of political Lie.

Accounts from Madrid of the 16th state that the
QUEEN, with her mother and sister, would shortly
leave for Caldas, a watering-place, about seven leagues
from Barcelona, in consequence of the advice of her
physicians. On that day NARVAEZ reviewed 8,000
troops on the plains of Alcoron. Several of the jour-
nals state that hostile demonstrations are made along
the French frontier by the Carlists; and, according
to the Phare des Pyrennees, several Carlist r,fugces,
who furtively quitted the residences assigned to them
in France, have been arrested at Bayonne by the
authorities, and forced to return to the depots in the
interior of the country. A correspondent, who writes
from Perpignan on the 17th, says, the numerous ar-
rests of Carlist refugees along the French and Spanish
frontier, are connected with the discovery w hich the
Spanish Government have made of an extensive con-
spiracy.

The Three per Cents. were done at 361 for cash,
and 37 at CO days; the Four per Cents. at 20 for
cash; and the Eire per Cents. at 22i for cash, and

23 at GO days.

it, will become a mere receptacle for spirits that can
exist in no other atmosphere, and whose effervescence
can find no other place for exhibition. Well may
the rhymer exclaim—
" Of old, when Pitt,and Fox harangued, the herd
Looked on, and voted, but ne'er spoke a word.
Nov, every whipster on some theme dilates."
And dilate as they may, speak as they choose,
argufy if they can—none of them ever did, none
of them can, exceed the trash which has been talked in
that House, by men such as FERRAND, since the
year 1841.

If the Paris Opposition journals are to be believed,
considerable discontent prevails in the army. Some
weeks since part of a regiment in the garrison of Paris
was shipped off to Africa for an attempt at mutiny ;
and, according to the National, similar symptoms
hive manifested themselves in some regiments quar-
tered in the south. At Toulouse several non-com-
missioned officers had been arrested, and the regiment
to which they belonged had been ordered to proceed
to Perpignan, Toulouse being regarded as a place
little favourable to the present dynasty. Arrests also
had taken place in the Bth regiment of Artillery, which
had been marched from Toulouse to Besanqon. No
cause is assigned for this disaffection. These jounials
still dwell at considerable length on the Otaheite
affair, but from all accounts the public are quite sick
of it, and there is little chance of any further discus-
sion in the Chamber on the subject. On Monday the
Chamber of Peers commenced the debate on the Edu-
cation Bill, ..e n4k.r.,rica
divert the Chamber from the subject, by putting ques-
tions to the Government about the dispatches o t Ad-
miral DUFETIT THOUARS. The PRESIDENT called him

Did ever

which benches, crowded with Tories, listened to and
applauded, when first this chosen tool of Toryism
opened upon that side of the House of Commons to
put down Mr. COBDEN and the free-traders ? Did
any one ever hear such yells of delight, such frantic
bursts of joy, as hailed each coarse, each vulgar
attack upon every assailant of monopoly ? And was
there ever a man, whose most ferocious speeches were
greeted with such approbation as the Tory host
bestowed upon Mr. FERRAND in the first ses-
sion of this present Parliament ? He—the anni-
hilator that was to be, of the Anti-Corn-law
League—the destroyer of all free traders—the
model, par excellence, of debaters ; and, shame be
it spoken, the approved of Conservative statesmen !
The petted of the Treasury Bench—the guest of the
Premier—the idol of the Tory mob--the adored of
the leading journal of Europe, as the great regene-
rator of our institutions, the reformer of the poor-
laws, and the corrector of all domestic abuses. Such,
if we might believe our eyes and ears, was Mr. FER-
RAND. This is what he was. Three years have passed
—look at the report of the proceedings in the House
of Corinnons last night, and see what he is.
And yet Mr. FE4RAND has not changed. He re-
mains what he always was and always will be, a man
of low mind, and of coarse feelings. The electors of
Knaresborough sought to read a lesson to the House
of Commons when they sent him, and they have done
it. Toryism sought to use the tool sent to the house
fur its own party purpose, and Toryism has done it.
Mr. FERRAND did not see the purpose for which he
was sent; lie mistook his vocation—he thought he
was born for a senator ; it was only for a
billsticker, or a whitewasher of walls, with large
characters. He was an innocent victim. He ought
to be pitied, not condemned. The Tories, who se-
duced and deluded him, who patted him on the back, '

left Paris for Dreux, where he was expected to re-
main for a day. The Funds continue firm. On Mon-
day the Five per Cents. closed at 122 f. 40c., and the
Threes at 83f. 70c. The Arntoricain of Brest thus
adverts to the visit of the Prince DE JOINVILLE to
that place :
-
" On Tuesday, the 18th, his Royal Highness inspected the
transatlantic steam-packets Christophe Colombe and Canada.
The Prince then went through every department of the
Arsenal, examining all the details with great precision. He
afterwards went out to the roadstead, and inspected the naval
-school on board the Borda. Not being expected, the pupils
were engaged at their difft rent studies and occupations. He
would not allow them to be interrupted, but went down
am:mg them, and while they were at work examined their
progress, and requ►red an account of the conduct of each.
The report made to him being very favourable, he requested
as a personal favour that all those under punishment should
be pardoned. Commander Predour replied that he could not
accede to the gracious request of his Royal Highness, for it
happened that there was not a single pupil in the predica-
ment of availing himself of it. The Priuce expre§t-ed his
satisfaction, and declared that he would consider of some
other means of showing his gratification. He then proceeded
to the Pluton, on board of which he was to make his excur- •
sion. On Wednesday he went Out ill the Canada, accom-
panied by the Christophe Colombe, to make the trial trip,
and was, it is said, fully convinced of the superior pi veers of
their engines. On Thursday he embarked in the Pluton and
sailed for Rochefort."

We subjoin additional extracts from the papers
_ _

"A report having been current that an influential banking
company had applied to the Government for the concession
of laying down the rails and working the railroad from Paris
to Strasburg by the valley of the Marne, a body of deputies
of all opinions, says the eburrier Francais, proceeded to the
Minister of Public Works, and afterwards to the Presideut
of the Council, to rNuest that no decision should be come to
as to the direction to be taken, until the whole of the surveys
and inquiries prescribed by the law should have been com-
pleted. They required also that the subject of the direction
should, as had been determined on with respect to ether lines,
be submitted to the judgment of the Superior Committee ap-
pointed by a preceding Minister before it was laid before the
Chambers. Both Ministers assured those gentlemen that
their suggestions should be taken into serious consideration.
" It is announced," says the Constitutionnel, " that a con=
siderable amount of subscription has arrived lately from
Germany for the French Railroad Companies. The-Prussian
Government bas put:listed an order declaring that, 4 the

present, it should not authorise any new lines, and this has
caused the German capitalists to tarn their eyes to Fraute,"

The same journal gives the following curious details
in a letter dated Constantinople the 3d inst.:--

" Bad news continues to :be received from Romelia. The
Albanians have withdrawn, It is true, from the environs of
Adrianople before some battalions sent against them ; but
the country has not been freed from them, and they haVd
gone to carry their pillage and waste to other points. We
have already announced that the Minister of Russia had
seized on the occasion of a conference with Rifaat Pacha to
make some observations on the subject. The Ambassadors of
England and France have also taken some steps with the
Divan. A great number of Bulgarians assembled at Con-
stantinople have sent in a petition to the Three Powers,
praying them to do something with the Porte, and to
take the necessary measures to shelter their country
from the ravages of the Albanians. Since the beginning
of the military reorganisation, deserters from the army
and a crowd of young men from the provinces, flying the
conscription, had taken refuge in Constantinople. The
Government wished to seize on them, and, to arrive
at this result, a census of the population was commenced,
which was presented as a simple police measure ; complete
documents were thus procured as to their number, position,
and residence, but the most difficult matter was to seize on
them, their numbar not amounting to less than 20,000. The
following was Riza-Dacha's plan of battle. We use the word
designedly, for the undertaking was perilous. On Thursday
morning all Mussulmen were ordered to assemble in the
mosques, under pretext of verifying the lists, and all repaired
there with confidence. The gates of Constantinople were
then shut, the mosques were surrounded with troops and the
names were called over. According as any individual marked
down by the military authorities for the conscription came
forward, he was ordered out of tie mosque, seized on, and
carried off to a place of safety. In some hours all was finished.
The women alone made a pretty sharp resistance. When they
underst( od that their husbands and sons were thus being
carried off, they left the harems, tore off their veils, and as-
sembled round the mosques, uttering cries, and arming
themselves with stones and sticks. Riza-Pacha had some
difficulty in escaping, and even left in their hands one of the
skirts of his coat. On some points the troops were obliged
to give way, and the prisoners escaped. However, the haul
was a good one, and only some hundreds got off. A cir-
cumstance occurred which calls to mind the proceedings of
the thieves of Canton, in order to pillage houses and carry off
goods, notwithstanding the measures taken by the English
to prevent them. All the Albanians who were at Constanti-

noble having got wind of the matter, hit on a mode oiescap
ing from it. They got several coffins made, divided them-
selves into so many sections, placed their arms in the coffins,
and every day funerals of some Albanians were seen to defile
through the streets of the city; four carried the coffin on
their shoulders, the rest followed. They were allowed to pass,
and, once outside the walls of Constantinople, they resumed
their arms, and took to flight. Not a single one remained in
the city. Last Sunday, whilst the Sultan was repairing to
the Mosque of Sultan Ahmed, on the anniversary of the Pro-
phet's birthday, a crowd of women met him on his passne,
and uttered loud complaints and accusations against
ftiza-
Pacha. It is believed that the measure which he has just
taken, and which has caused great dissatisfaction, will shake
his credit with the Sultan."

The statue of Lord Byron, by Thorwaldsen, now
lies in its original packing-case, in the vaults of the
Custom-House; denied the place for which it was in-
tended, Westminster Abbey, it reposes in obscurity.
There is only one place in London where it could be
seen with advantage, as St. Paul's and Westminster
Abbey are closed to it—we mean the hall of the Re-
form Club House. If the trustees, of whom Sir John
Hobhouse is one, would place this statue of England's
greatest modern poet, from the chisel of Europe's
great sculptor, in the Reform Club, honour'would be
done to the poet, the sculptor's fame would be ex-
tended, and the attractions, which Mr. Barry has
given to the Reform Club, would be increased.

It is imposiible to read the proceedings at the
Woodstock election, on Monday, without a strong feeling of
indignation Against the conduct of the Duke of Marlborough.
Without assuming all the statements made on that occasion
to be accurate (in truth, we know that accuracy is rarely to
be looked for iK rival speeches at contested elections), there
does appear to be sufficient foundation for the very grave
charges made against the Duke, to call at least for denial
or explanation on his part. If the charges be left unrefuted,
we must say that they leave a most unenviable reputation
to the patron of the borough of Woodstock. We trust, and
we believe, that of no other so conspicuous member of the
aristocracy of England could such tales of heartlessness be
told with any semblance of truth. We shall be very glad to
learn that the Marquii of Blandford, in his promised re •
searches on the subject, succeeds in either refuting or reme-
dying the hardships complained of. The conduct of that
young nobleman, on the occasion referred to, evinced both
discretion, talent, and good sense. We trust his future con-
duct will be in accordance with this early promise. But we
feel bound to say, that the disclosures both of the Rev. Mr.
Bowles and of Mr. Humphrey present a strange practical
commentary upon the character of the man whose name
was placed'by the Standard newspaper at the head of a lay
address upon the suuject of the Oxford theology. Wherever
our divines study the doctrines of religion, we would strongly
reconimend them to keep as far aloof as possible from the
Blarlborough school in their tenets touching the duties of a
possessor of prcperty professing to be a Christian.—Post.
`I:HE WILLs FoßGEßS.—lnnediately after the sen-
tences were passed on the convicts Barber, Fletcher, Sanders,
Mrs. Dorey, and Lydia Sanders, they were reconveyed to the
different wards of the prison, and kept as they were before
the trial, separate. The only time they saw each other was
when brought up into the Court, and then they held no com-
munication with each other. Since the sentence has been
passed, Barber entertains the same confident hopes as he did
before and during the trials, that he shall yet be at liberty;
and when he was found guilty, and after he was sentenced,
his counsel was heard to remark that the verdict would not
stand, and that the sentence would not be carried into effect;
and the necessary steps, it is stated, are already being taken
for the purpose of preparing a case to be laid before Sir James
Graham, and thereby to obtain, through the Right Hon. the
Secretary of State, her Majesty's free pardon. It is also un-
derstood that, as no proof was given as to the forgeries of the
different wills, that a question on this point will be raised,
so as to obtain the opinion of the Judges. Even on this the
friends of Barber are sanguine that the result will be favour
able, and terminate in the indictment being quashed
Fletcher, who entertains no such hopes as his fellow convict,
is, from his state of health, expected not to survive a very
long period of time, for since his committal his disease, that
of au affection of the heart, has increased. The other con-
victs, particularly the two females, consider they have been
most mercifully dealt with, and it has been remarked, that
1 from the time of the committal up to yesterday, Mr. Dorey
hits not been once to see his wife, nor have any of the parties
been visited by any one except their professional advisers;
and, although kept separate from each other, not a single
inquiry was made by any one after each other; the only in-
stance of anything like sympathy being exhibited, was when
Mrs. Sanders heard the jury find.her. guilty. She burst into
a violent flood of tears when her sister took her by the hand,
and Sanders put his left arm round his wife's waist. They
both begged of her to be composed and to bear her fate with
fortitude. Should the intended application on behalf of
Barber prove unsuccessful, the three male convicts will
directly afterwards be removed to the Millbank Prison, pre-
paratory to their being sent to New South Wales.
ALMAClCS.—Yesterday there was .a rehearsal of
Tolbecque and Collinet's full band at 'Willis's- Rooms. The
ladies' patronesses are exercising every care for the gather-
ing of a splendid galaxy of rank and fashion to-morrow
night, in honour of her Majesty's birthday. The Mar-
chioness of Londonderry, who has just returned from Paris,
with the Countess of 3ersey and Viscountess Palmerston,
are the only ladies who can grant tickets for that night, and
it is needless to remark the influence possessed by them will
alone insure a brilliant essemblage of the aristocracy. The
applications for the entree are exceedingly numerous. As
the Queen Dowager's evening party is announced to be
" early" many of the distinguished personages after paying
their respects to that illustrious ornament to our Royal Family,
will make Almack's their rendezvous afterwards, more par-
ticularly as there is no other private entertainment to inter-
fere with the ball.

DETERMINED SUICIDE OF A FRENCH CAPTAIN.—
This morning the French brig St. Jean, from Gravelines,
arrived at Yenning's wharf, having on board the body of the
Captain, Victor Lavalee, who hung himself on board at Half-
, way Reach. The vessel arrived at Gravesend yesterday
afternoon at one o'clock, loaded with eggs. The captain, who
was well known to the tide-waiters for upwards of twenty
years, appeared in low spirits while the vessel was making
up tie river. At eight o'clock he went into his cabin, as the
crew supposed, to retire to rest. About half an hour after,
Cairnes. one of the tide-waiters, went to the companion-way
leading to the cabin, and attempted to get his bed down.
Finding some stoppage, he looked about and discovered the
j deceased hanging by his neck by a silk handkerchief to an
iron catch, used un the companion-way. He was
cut down, and found to be quite dead. Deceased was forty-
five years of age, and has left a wife and large family at
Gravelines. lie was part owner of the vessel and cargo.
The body was removed this morning to St. Olave's work-
! house, to await an inquest.
i INSTITUTION FOR THE PROTECTION AND EMPLOY-
! RENT OF THE DISTRESSED NEEI)LEWOMEN IN LONDON.—
Her most Gracious Majesty the Queen, and his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Cambridge, have both been pleased to ra.2
tronise the grand vocal and instrumental concert to be given
on Friday evening next, at the Theatre Royal Covent-
Garden, in aid of the funds of this benevolent institution,
where a phalanx of talent will he brought forward that must
ensure an overflowing house. Several of the most 'distin-
guished of the nobility have already engaged private boxes
for the: occasion, amongst whom is her Grace the Duchess of
Sutherland.
PONTOP AND SOUTH SHIELDS RAlLWAY.—Yester-
day a special meeting of this Company was held at the
office, in Guildhall-buildings, M. B. Rennie, Esq., in the
chair, for the purpose of obtiiining the assent of the pro_ '
prietors to a Bill note in Parliament, the provisions of which
are to give the Company power to widen about five miles of
their line, to accommodate the traffic of the Newcastle and
Darlington Railway, also to enable them, if they think
proper, to lease the same line; also to make a more con-
venient branch to connect the Brandling Junction than
s ed moreby
exists at present, and to limit their capital if
athsepyrofipno find
than sufficient. After a few observations, it
the Chairman, " That the meeting do approve of the said
Bill," which was seconded by Mr% Hamphry, and agreed to
wanimously. The zne,etiag then adjourned.
