PON.MICIN.

"The King," says the Constitutionnel, "is expected
in a few days, to go to the Chateau de Bizy, and to
return by Dreux. On the 25th there is to be another
representation at St. Cloud, the performers in which
will be the pupils of the Conservatoire de Musiqut.
Afterwards the Court will go to Fontainebleau, where
the young Duchess d'Aumale will be received by her
new family."
The Memorial Bordelais asserts positively that
Queen Isabella of Spain is to be married in May next

Pope has already granted the necessary dispensations.
A report prevailed in Paris, on Monday, that Ad-
miral Dupetit Thouars had arrived in France.
The Carnival at Paris this year will be unusually
short, consequently the authorities have authorised
the masked balls to be commenced in December. The
Opera will give the first of its series on the 14th, and
continue them every Saturday evening till the end of
the season.
Intelligence from Papaiti to the 6th June has been
received through the United States. The most per-
fect tranquillity reigned there; the garrison was hard
at work at the fortifications of the town. The insur-
gents had not laid down their arms, but, under the
terror inspired by the affair of Mahahena, they demi
not take a step out of their entrenchtnents. Queen
Pomare was still on board the Basilisk, in the harbour.
The Constitutionnel states, that "the first trial on
a large scale was made of M. Hallete's plan of ap-
plying the atmospheric system to railroads a few
days since, on a space of 300 feet in his manufactory
at Arras. The result appears to have been so satis-
factory, that Messrs. Arago, Seguier, and other dis-
tinguished engineers, are to be invited to witness a
second trial in a few days."
Lyons seems to be as much infested with thieves
as Paris. A general rendezvous, or head-quarters,
I has been discovered at a public-house in the Rue
St. Georges, and the police by judicious management
has succeeded Ict arresting twenty of them. They
all wear blouse* or smockfrocks, and carry stout
sticks, assuming the appearance of countrymen or
travellers. They never arrive at their head-
quarters by more than one at a time, and were thus
easily caught as in a trap. Another band has been
captured at the house of a man named Chaudeze.
One evening last week a youth, of seventeen, was
found weltering in his blood from a pistol-shot, on
the road from Pont d'Ain to Amberieu. He lived
just long enough to relate that he had been accosted
on the road by a man who immediately fired at him,
and when he had fallen approached him and exclaimed
" Good God ! I have made a mistake, you are not
the person whom I supposed ;" and the assassin then
fled, leaving his pistol behind him.
The Comercio of Cadiz announces the arrival of a
vessel at that port from Buenos Ayres, bringing in-
formation of the capture of the Spanish schooner
Rosario by the flotilla of Monte Video, as she was
leaving the port of Buenos Ayres.
The German Gazette states that a hairdresser at
Ulm has invented a machine with which he pretends
to be able to fly from Ulm to Paris in three days.
Letters from the Levant mention that the state of
Syria was hourly becoming more deplorable. A pro-
clamation issued at Constantinople, forbidding any
person whatever to appear in the streets after sunset,
had occasioned some disorders.
311. AW AND POLICS.
The case of Chappell v. Purday, relating to the
copyright of the music of Fra Diavolo, came on in
the Court of Exchequer. The arguments were not
brought to a conclusion, and the case stands postponed
to Saturday.
In the Consistory Court, Dr. Lushington gave judg-
ment in the case of the Earl of Dysart v. the Countess
of Dysart. The suit was for the restitution of con-
jugal rights, and the Court gave judgment in favour
of the Earl, ordering the Countess to return and live
with her husband.
The second November session for the county of
Middlesex commenced on Tuesday, at the Court-house,
Clerkenwell-green. The calendar presented a list of
59 prisoners for trial, 55 of whom stood charged with
felony, and the remainder with misdemeanours.
At Guildhall, on Tuesday, Thomas Hunt, a young
man in a workhouse suit, was charged with stealing a
rug from the West London Union. Mr. Alderman
Humphery committed him to Bridewell for a month;
Thomas Innis, a youth, charged with stealing
a quantity of copper articles, the property of Mr.
Pontifex, coppersmith and engineer, of Shoe-lane,
Holborn, was fully committed from Clerkenwell.
Mr. Bond, the magistrate at Queen-square, sen-
tenced Mr. John Forbes, the landlord of the Bell in
Bell-yard, York-street, Westminster, to pay a fine
of 51., for opening his house before the hour of one on
Sunday.
At Marlborough-street, Thomas Goodchild, a
Clapham carrier, was fined 20s. and costs, for cruelty
to a horse. Charles Clayton, omnibus driver, was
fined a like sum for the like offence. John Connelly
was fined 40s. and costs for cruelty. The fine was
doubled in this instance on account of the case being a
very aggravated one.
A young man, named David Rees, late town-
traveller to Messrs. Dell and Co., blacking manu-
facturers, in an -extensive way of business, at 27 A,
Adam-street East, Manchester-square, was placed at
the bar of the Marylebone Police•court, before Mr.
Long, charged with having fraudulently obtained
money from numerous customers after he had quitted
his employer's service. Three cases were gone into,
and the prisoner, against whom the magistrate con-
sidered sufficient had been proved, was committed
for trial.

At Wandsworth, George John Page, a carpenter
and wheelwright, in the employment of the South-
Western Railway Company, was finally examined
before Mr. Paynter upon a charge of plundering the
above Company, and committed for trial at the Central
Criminal Court.

I\lary Johnson and Mary Smith, the former with
an infant in her arms, both quite young, were charged
at Woolwich with breaking a large number of win-
dows at the house of Mr. Wates, relieving officer.
The offence was distinctly proved, and, in passing
sentence on them, Mr. Jeremy said, in two days no
less than 500 summonses had he been called upon to
sign to compel the payment of poor-rates, which,
from this very cause, had become most alarmingly
heavy on the inhabitants, and in fact they coud not
pay them—and the reason is, that persons wandered
from all parts of the country, some from this town,
under the pretence of seeking employment in the
Government works, or enlisting as soldiers; and find-
ing they cannot do either, they become a burden to
the parish, and if not relieved, commit this damage,
which of course the inhabitants had to pay. He
should commit them for twenty-one days, and hard
labour—which would be another expense; but he
was determined to make an example of all brought
before him. It was truly dreadful to think of five
hundred summonses in two days for poor-rates—a
thing he never knew before in his life.
