At the late assizes at Lille, a girl, named Eliza
Depinoy, was brought forward for trial on a charge of infanti-
cide. Scarcely had one or two of the witnesses been heard,
when the prisoner, who was exceedingly large in the family
way, was suddenly taken ill. She was removed into an ad-
joining room, and medical aid beinff afforded, was in a few
minutes delivered a a boy 1 Whilst the child was taken
before the registrar of births, the mother was careffilly carried
back to the prison. The trial was of course postponed,

COURT OF SEWERS.

A Court of Sewers for the City and Liberty of Wept-
minster, and part of the county of Middlesex, was held
yesterday, at the office of the Court in Greek-street,
Soho-square. The Court was held for ordinary busi-
ness, and nothing of much public importance transpired.
although the Court sat till past four o'clock. After some of
the routine business had been disposed of, on the motion of
Mr. Hawkes, seconded by Mr. Allanson, a Committee of the
whole Court was appointed to inquire into and view the
drainage of Earl's-court, Kensington, and after some further
discussion Tuesday week was fixed for the Committee to
meet. Some other routine business was then disposed of, and
the Court adjourned to Friday next.

MISCELLANEOUS.

At a Court of Common Council held on Thursday, Mr. R.
Jones brought up the Report of the Royal Exchange Com-
mittee, which stated that the purchase of the block of build-
ings, called Bank-buildings, in front of the Royal Exchange, '
had been completed.
On New Year's day, 1843, with a sixpenny fare, the Gree-
nock and Glasgow Railway pocketed 77!. from holiday pas-
sengers. On New Year's day, 1844, with a shilling fare, they
received 45/.
There has just, been rehearsed at Vienna J. L. Hatton's
newly-composed opera of Pascal Brunow, under the superin-
tendence•of the maestro, the principal parts being taken by
Staudigl and Lutzer. A correspondent pronounces it to be
one of the most splendid operas he ever heard. It wiil be
produced before the public at Vienna at the end of this month.
Sir James Graham declines appointing magistrates for the
borough of Sheffield, unless the town-council are prepared to
build a new gaol, and to hold quarter sessions.
The monthly meeting of the Anti-Corn-law League took
place in the Pree Trade Hall, Manchester, on Wednesday
evening. The spacious building was never so crowded be-
fore. The speakers were Mr. Cobden, M.P., Colonel Thomp-
son, and Mr. R. R. R. Moore, and the audience included per-
sons who had come many miles to have an opportunity of
hearing them: Mr. G. Wilson, chairman of the Council,
presided.
There has been a considerable falling off in the importa-
tion of hemp into Great Britain in the course of the last two
years—the quantity imported in 1842 having been about
2,000 tons less than that of the year previous. In 1843 the
import was 1,000 tons less than that of 1842. The stocks
are unusually low in London, Liverpool, and the other prin-
cipal markets.
The barque Lady Bute, which sailed from the Clyde on
Saturday evening last, for Calcutta, carried one of the most
valuable cargoes which has ever left that port, being esti-
mated at more than 40,000/.
From the statements in the Report of the Visiting Justices
of the New Prison, this gaol was in a satisfactory state. The
number ,of prisoners was 178 ; there being 139 males, and 39
females. Ihe Report was received.
At the meeting of the Middlesex Magistrates on Thursday,
Mr. Wilks directed attention to the Small Debts Bill, intro-
duced into the House of Commons by Mr. John Jervis, by
which, individual magistrates would be enabled to adjudicate
on all claims for debts under 51., and, if necessary, issue dis-
tress warrants to enforce payment. He also entreated the
earnest attention of magistrates, poor-law guardians, and
other persons interested, to the proposed amendment of the
Poor-law Bill by Sir James Graham, from which considerable
alterations and nnprovements were anticipated. The Report
of the Visiting Justices of the House of Correction was read.
The regulations in the prison had been enforced and the dis-
cipline duly maintained. The number of prisoners was 1,084.
Of that number 828 were males, and 256 females. There were
also seven children in confinement.

Foust SUPPLEMENTS WITH THE " DISPATCH."-
The extraordinary demand for the Dispatch of Sunday last, Feb. I I,
with a Second Supplement, extended to 165,000 impressions, and
affords the Proprietors the gratification of finding that the exertions
they made to furnish their readers with a perfect History of the
great National Trial are AIRY appreciated. To render the Supplements
to the Dispatch truly acceptable to their patrons, the Proprietors
have hen induced, by the length of the proceedings, to alter their
cirigloel plan, and instead of presenting Two Supplements, they will
extend it to FOUR, thus rendering the record of this memorable trial
both ample and complete. The Supplements of Feb. 4 and 'II are
still on sale ; but early applications are necessary to ensure the pos-
session of these portions of this invaluable historical• register. Orders
for the Dispatch aro received by every News Agent and Book-
seller in the kingdom ; and by Mr. Wood, at the Dispatch Office,
139, Fleet-street.

SINGULAR CUSTOM OF THE PRUSSIANS.—Mr.
Carter held an inquest at the King's Arms, Rotherhithe, as
to the death a Andrew Anderson, aged 20, a Prussian sea-
ma' t!eiling to the ship Norden' who was drowned in the
Commercial Docks. The deceased, while getting from the
ship into a boat caught hold of a rope that. was not made fast
to the ship, and fell into the water. In about twelve minutes
the body was got out, and every means used to restore ani-
mation, but without effect. The jury returned a verdict of
" Accidentally drowned," The captain and most of the
officers of the allip were present, 'and they also

MRS. TROLLOPE'S NEW NOVEL.
Just published, 3 vols., post Bvo., 31s. 6d.,
METE LAURRINGTONS ; or, Superior People.
1 By FRANCES TROLLOPE, Author of " Widow Barnaby," &c.

" Mrs. Trollope gains upon public opinion, as a novel writer, by
every successive production of her prolific pen. Iler new novel, The
Laurringtons,' is vastly superior to Widow Barnaby,' on which we
conclude, from its being associated with her name in the title-page,
she thunds her pretensions to public regard. The plot is simple, the
characters comparatively few, and their positions, sayings, and doings,
perfectly in keeping. The work will be a favourite with the novel-
reading portion of the public."—Globe.

her Son, J. P. GRANT, Esq.

" Abounds in anecdotes of many celebrated persons, well told,
novel, and full of interest."—Court Journal.
" Apart from their literary merit, Mrs. Grant's letters have a
value of no inconsiderable kind, in the piety and devout fortitude they
inculcate by example."—Examiner.
" Mrs. Grant's letters are the calm, healthy effusions of a mind
replete with good sense, tinctured by poetic sentiment, and of a soul
entirely devoted to the consolations and hopes of Christian life."—

LONDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1844.

In the Lords, the Marquis of NORMANDY moved
that leave be given on Monday to sign a protest
against the decision of the House on the state of
Ireland.
The Bishop of LONDON, in consequence of the in-
disposition of the Bishop of EXETER, postponed that
Prelate's motion relative to the Poor-laws till Friday
next.
Lord DENMAN adverted to the statements made by
Mr. FERRAND in the Commons, relative to his re-
marks about a clause of the Poor-law Bill. He denied
that he had made any such expressions as those im-
puted to him.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Lord
DUNDONALD relative to improvements in steam-
ships; and stated that the Gallant Officer prayed that
Parliament would extend the term of his patent to
fourteen years, or until such period as might seem
meet.
The Earl of HADDINGTON concurred in the re-
marks made by Lord BROUGHAM, expressed the
highest admiration of the skill and gallantry of Lord
DUNDONALD, and hoped that justice would be done
to that Gallant and Noble Officer by the prolongation
of his patent.
The Duke of RICHMOND brought in a Bill to in-
demnify any witnesses for the evidence they might
give in a Committee of the House, appointed to in-
quire into the laws relating to gambling. The Duke
of Buccixucit brought in a Bill to carry into effect
certain projected improvements in the City of London.
In the House of Commons, after the presentation
of petitions, Mr.WALLacs gave notice that, on Mon-
day, he would move for a return of the names of the
Commissioners of Customs, the age of each, and the
period at which they entered the service ; also a re-
number of actions commenced, and what

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fitly-five per cent. on the
amount already invested ; and this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums

HALSE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS.
DECLARATION OF THE GUARDIANS OF BREW

DEVON.

We the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Ro.
bins, one of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's Scor-
butic Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds
some of them so large that a person might have laid his fist in
them), that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an
improvement, and that by continuing them for some time, he got
completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He
had tried various sorts of medicines before taking " Halse's Scor-
butic Drops," and had prescriptions from the most celebrated phy.
sitian sin this country, without deriving the least benefit. " Halse's
Scorbutic Drops" have completely cured him, and he is now ens.
bled to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From
other cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's
Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public.
Signed by John Elliott, sen., Lord of the Manor, John Manning,

At the late assizes at Lille, a girl, named Eliza
Depinov, was brought forward for trial on a charge of infanti-
cide. Scarcely had owl or two of the witnesses been heard,
when the prisoner, who was exceedingly large in the family
way, was suddenly taken ill. She was removed into an ad-
joining room, and medical aid being afforded, was in a few
minutes delivered of a boy ! Whilst the child was taken
before the registrar of births, the mother was carefully carried
back to the prison. The trial was of course postponed,
although the case just mentioned is not provided for in the
criminal code.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

Vitt)ltt Optitton.

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.

A rumour prevailed at Paris on illursday, that an out-
break had taken place at Burgos ; and the Madrid mail of
the 9th had been intercepted in consequence.
Some of the Paris papers mention another rnmour that the
French Government had received a telegraphic dispatch, an-
nouncing the arrest of the Count de las -Navas, and of several
more of the Progresista Deputies.
Colonel Berryer, brother of the Legitimatist Deputy, had a
private audience of the King on Tuesday. _
One of the most eminent of the Polish emigrants resident
in Paris, Francis Wolowski, forinerly in his own country a
Councillor of the Supreme Court; a Councillor of State, and
Deputy of the Diet, died three days ago, and was buried on
Wednesday. His funeral was attended by nearly all the
Poles in the capital, including several of his former colleagues
in the Diet, by many members of the French Chamber of
Deputies, of the magistracy. the bar, the press, and the
learned and scientific bodies.
Count Septime de Villeneuve (says the Quotidienne),
having had the honour of making the journey to London,
has been dismissed from his office of mayor of Ballan, in the
Indre-et-Loin.

Letters from Vienna (Feb. 5) mention that Prince Meter-
nich is indisposed, and that he has of late not attended so
much to the affairs of the State as he was accustomed to do.
Accounts from Goritz, received at Vienna, state that the
Duke d'Angouleme is so far recovered, as to enable him oc-
casionally to be present at the family dinner-table. The
Duke of Bordeaux made the voyage and journey from Lon-
don to Goritz in twelve days.
A letter from Naples, of the Ist, announces the death of
Cardinal Caracciolo, Archbishop of that city.
