the honours due to his rank. It was attended by all the
Marshals of Paris, with the Duke de_Dalmatie at theirlead,

the family and staff of the deceased, &c.
At twelve o'clock on the same day, the obsequies of M.

St. Louis, in the presence of an assemblage of his friends
that very nearly filled the church. The pall was borne by
the Minister of Public Instruction, and MM. Etienne, Lebrun,
and Victor Hugo, members of the French Academy. A large
deputation from the Institute also attended. _

It is said that Queen Christina is to quit Paris for Spain
within ten days. All the preparations have been already
made in the hotel of the Rue de Courcelles.

A letter from Chateauroux of the 27th ult. states that
General Bertrand, who is residing there, is very much in-
disposed.
M. Le Tourneur, Bishop of Verdun, died of apoplexy on
the 26th ult. He was found in his room seated in his arm
chair, holding a newspaper in his hand, and his glasses lying

The Gazette de France says :—" We are informed that the

young men of the schools Intend to go in a mass to M. de
Chateaubriand, and thus oppose a marked homage to the
branding which M. St. Marc Girardin and the Ministerial
Deputies have just decreed upon him."
The following telegraphic dispatch appears in the lifoniteur :
—"Bayonne, Jan. 28.—0 n the evening of the 22d, the dis-

which were promptly repressed. The giving up of the arms
took place on the 23d without difficulty. General Serrano is
appointed Inspector-General of the Cavalry: General
Concha has given in his resignation as Inspector-General of
Infantry, and is replaced by General Soria."
LAW AND POTAICN. •

The proceedings in the Equity and Law Courts on Thurs-
day were without interest.
At Marlborough-street, a young man, fashionably dressed,
who gave the name of Joseph Smith, gentleman, 116, Drum-
mond-street, Euston-square, was brought before Mr. Hard-
wicke, charged by Thomas Robinson, butler to the Earl of
Abingdon, with having unlawfully obtained from him a 51.
note, and with having threatened, unless a further sum of
money was given, to make a certain accusation against him.
After evidence had been heard, the prisoner said he should
reserve everything he had to say for his trial. He was fully
committed.
At Marylebone, M. Jean Caplin, a Frenchman, carrying on
business in Berners-street, Oxford-street, was charged on a
warrant with having committed a most vielent assault upon
a young woman named Ann Nicholls, and fined 40s. and costs.
*Thomas Davis, a man formerly in an extensive business
as a jeweller in the City, was charged, at Union-hall, with
obtaining various sums of money under false pretences. The
Magistrate said, that as there were so many cases against the
prisoner, he did not know he could do otherwise than commit
him. At all events he should remand him for a few days to
ascertain the extent of his depredations.
At the Thames Police Court, Thomas Edwards, an Ame-

rican sailor, a man of short stature, and of most feiocious ap-

pearance, was brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged with
the wilful murder of William Kamish, on board the barque
Amelia, of Guernsey, on the 29th of December last, at sea.
After a lengthened examination, Mr. Ballantine told the pri-
soner he should commit him for trial for wilful murder; but,
as the evidence of the captain would be necessary, he should
remand him for a day.

THE WILL FORGERIES.
RE-EXAMINATION OF BARBER, FLETCHER, AND
MRS. DOREY.
MANSION HOUSE.—(THIS DAY.)
The Investigation into thiS fesunied-rili morning,
the. Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, who took his scat on the bench a
little after eleven o'clock. ,fr,

~~~a "`

Mr. Wilde attended for Mr. Wilkins, to defend Mrs. Dorey;
Parry attended for Mr. Chambers, on behalf of Barber.
The prisoners, William Henry Barber, Joshua Fletcher, and Thoulne
Griffin, were then placed in the dock, and the prisoner Georgiuott
Dorey was, as on former occasions, accmmodated with a seat at

the table.
George Gorsuch Was then examined by Mr. Clarkson—l am at
present in the employ of Messrs. Hailing, silk mercers, at Waterleo
House: In the month of March last year I engaged myself as au
assistant to Mr. Dorey. My engagement commeuce4 on Wed-
nesday the 29th of March, and I stayed till the 19th of April.
Mrs. Dorey was in the shop every day while I' was there. I re-
member the production by Mrs. Dorey of a 1,0001. note, on the
second Saturday after I went there. Mrs. Dorey came home in a
cab the previous evening after tea time with her sister, Mrs. San-
ders. Mr. Dorey brought a 1,0001. Bank of England note into the
shop, and showed it to me. I did not see Mrs. Sanders and Mrs.
Dorey leave together. Mrs. Sanders went out about half an hour
after this. I did not hear from Mrs. Sanders, in the presence of
Mrs. Dorey, where she was going. She went away in an omnibus.
returned in about an hour and a half, and came into Mr. Dorey's. Mrs.
Dorey was at home. Mrs. Sanders had with .her a bag. It
was a brown bag, which appeared to be full, and I heard &jingle as it
went through the shop. It sounded like gold. I cannot recollect
whether Mr. Dorey was in the shop. To the beat of my recollection
Mrs. Sanders left on the following Monday, about two o'clock. Mrs.
Dorey went with her. It was stated she was going to Bristol. I
had been in the habit of seeing Mrs. Dorey write. (A note being here
handed to the witness. He was asked if he recognised in it Mrs.
Dorey's handwriting. The witness, tread—" Miss Slack, 7, Francis-
street; Tottenham-court-road," upon the note, and said it was Mrs.
Dorey's handwriting.)
Mr., Clarkson said this was a note for 1,0001. which had been
before produced in evidence—it was No. 96,767. The date was the let
of February, and it was proved to have been changed at the Bank on
that day..

The witness then withdrew.
Henry Bardsley-, late a grocer in Whitechapel, who had married
one of the daughters of Mr. Nevill, of Francis-street, Tottenham-
court-road, deposed that Martha Nevin, his wife's sister, had on the
9th of March, given him an order for some goods, which he had sent
to No. 7, Francis-street.
Mr. Wybrow lived for twenty-four years, until Dec. 1842, at 24,
Rathbone-place, " The Temple of Apollo." Mrs. Dorey came as Miss
Richards, about my lodgings, I believe in December, 1838. She took
the second floor, unfurnished. She said she was in thePantheonßututr.
When she came to live there she was accompanied by her mother
and her two nieces, the Misses Sanders. They staid with me about
two years. Mrs. Dorey's mother appeared about seventy-five years
of age. Her eyes were occasionally weak. I have seen her walk out.
She went rather infirm and stooped. I have seen her walk-
ing with an umbrella. I used to see the prisoner Dorey
go out of a morning. The mother went to Camberwell in the
summer of 1840. I believe, and I think they all quitted in No-
vember, 1840. After she had quitted the bazaar I recollect hear-
ing Miss Richards and her neice say that Mrs. Richards had gone
tio Camberwell for the benefit of her health.
Cross-examined by Mr. Wilde—l am sure that I was told by Mrs.
Dorey that the old lady had gone to Camberwell.
Sydney Hampden Wybrow, the son of the last witness-,-Lived
with her at 24, Rathbone-place. I remember the female Priot'ner—
Mr. Clarkson—Look at the prisoner Fletcher, do you recognise any
one that has called on Miss Richards? Witness—l think I have
soen the furthest one in the brown coat (Barber) several times* I
do not recognise any one else as having called on her.
Mr. Parry—Look at those persons standing at the bar. It is evi-
dent you have been making a mistake from the manner in which Mr.
Clarkson put the question. Do you mean to swear that you have
seen that person in the brown coat call on Miss Richards? Witnees
I believe so, but should not like to swear it. It was four or five years
ago. I have never seen him since, until about five minutes ago in the
passage.
Mr. Parry—Who told you to go into the passage to see those
people ? Some one desired my father and myself to walk into tho
passage to see if we could recognise any one.
Mr. Parry—Let Mr. Wybrow, sen., go out of Court. Mr. Wybrow
then withdrew.
Examination resumed—l saw him several tithes. I have had op-
portunities of speaking to him two or three times. On several oc-
casions I opened the door to him. I believe him to be the man. I
believe I heard him ask if Miss Richards was at home. I believe MY
father did not recognise any one in the passage. I told my father in
the passage I thought I knew one of them. I did not mention to
him which.
Mr. Parry—ln what order did they go up ? The young man, I
have no doubt, is under a mistake. Witness—The one on my right
hand (Fletcher) came up first. They came up in the order they were
standing. (The prisoner Barber had entered the Court first. and
had been followed by Fletcher, who passed him, and took his place
at the end of tjse desk. The order in which they were standing in
relation to the witness, was—Fletcher, next to him Forester the
officer, then Griffin, and last of all Barber.)
Mr. Wybrow, senior, recalled, and cross-examined by Mr. ParrY
—I did not recognise any of the persons :who passed up, excepting
Mrs. Dorey. I think it probable that if any of those persons had
been in the habit of calling on her, I must have recognised them. s
know several gentlemen used to call. I do not recognise any of the
persons at the bar. My son said to me, " I think I have seen the
tall person there." (The witness pointed to Griffin, as' the person
recognised by his son.)
James Phillips—l know the handwriting of Mrs. Dorey. I WO
concerned as her attorney. I see the paper which purports tq be the
will of Mary Hunt.
Cross-examined by Mr. Wilde—l believe the body of the will, to'
gether with the name of one of the attesting witnesses, Jane Rose,
to be her handwriting. I cannot say as to the signature of Marl.
Hunt. ,The witness likewise swore that the signature Eliza Burchard,
in the Bank book, and all the various other documents, was in
Mrs. Dorey's writing. The words, "-Miss Slack, 7, Francis-street.
Tottenham-court-road," on the back of the 1,0001. note, were her writ-
ing. The words, " Miss Burchard, 9, Great Russell-street. Blooms-
bury," on this 51, note, are also her handwriting.
The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Wilde, but nothing mate-
rial was elicited from him.
Mr. Clarkson said this was all the evidence which he proposed to
go into that morning, Miss Slack being in a state of health ~vhicn
made it unsafe for her to attend. He would suggest that all the
other witnesses in the case should wait until the evidence was.
perfected to hear it read over. If his Lordship though',
there would not be time to do so on that day, he had no'objection
to an adjournment. He hoped that in a fortnight he would be tan
to adduce further evidence.
Mr. Wilde inquired if the case of Miss Slack was concluded ? .
Mr. Clarkson said it was, unless fresh evidence should be collected
between that day and the day to which the prisoners were remanded.
Mr. Humfrey, as solicitor for Mr. Fletcher, asked Forrester,
officer, whether he had not found some papers in the prisoner's
house ? Forrester said he had found some deposit receipts.
were ready to be produced when called for.
Mr. Hwnfrey said he believed his client, Mr. Fletcher, was in a
more unfortunate position than either of the other prisoners. Ile
had been deprived of a deposit receipt for 1,3001, in: the London
and Westminster Bank, and of a receipt for 1,0001. in the Funs,
and owing to this circumstance he was unable to obtain the assistance
of Counsel. He had been imprisoned for eight weeks. He was un-
able to gather from the examination the precise nature of the charge°
against him. lie submitted to the Lord Mayor that the prisoner WO
not fairly treated.
Mr. Freshfield explained that it appeared from the evidence that
the sum of 1,3001., lodged in the London and Westminster Bank in
the name of the prisoner Fletcher, was the proceeds of the sale of the
funds belonging to Miss Slack. In conformity with the provisions Of
an Act of Parliament, which directed that in cases like the present.
parties claiming the stock should follow the person of those who had
obtained it by fraud, and should also follow the money. Mr. Baxter,
Miss Slack's legal adviser, had warned the Bank not to pay tho
amount in question to him. With regard to the 1,0001. in the Ftuads,
no application had been made to transfer the sum.
Mr. Parry complained that Mr. Barber was kept in solitary on-
fineraent at the Compter, and applied to the Lord Mayor, for perm'
sion for some other person, not connected with the case,'to tie placed
in the cell with him.
Mr. Wilde applied for permission for Mrs. Dorey's husband to visit
her in prison.
The LORD Mavoa thought his orders must:be mistaken in refercnen
to Barber. He would take care that the prisoners should not be sl,_ur
jected to greater severity than was necessary.
The prisoners were then remanded to this day fortnight.

THE'SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY.—DOVER, JAN. 29:
—A private opening of this line, to the terminus at Dove"
took place on Saturday. An engine from the Folkestone sta-
tion was first dispatched, unaccompanied by any carriage,
a pioneer to test the line, and everything having been ion%
perfectly smooth and safe, it returned to Folkestone, al.`„,
brought back a carriage, containing Mr. Baxendale,
chairman, with others of the Directors, together with ni`,
William Cubitt, the chief engineer, and other exectitiveS
connected with the line. In all, four journeys were perforec,
tO and from Folkestone, the last train (one carriage) lea'y„
Dover for London at four o'clock. This experimental ti'x •
has afforded great satisfaction to the directors and enOnectft6e.
Although there have been great difficulties thrown 111,`bv
way of the completion of this portion of the line, both 4
the attacks of Neptune and the falls of the cliff, and grea'
exertion has consequently been made to finish the svor/t_.
yet the rails appear to be firmly settled, and the tractionW,,t"'
so easy as to justify a speed of upwards of twenty miles 71;
hour, the distance from Folkestone having been perfortne
the last trip, in fifteen minutes.
