IVe read in the Armoricain of Brest, of the 18th "Cap•
tain Dutaillis, of the Ariane, which is destined for Otaheite.
has just been summoned again to Paris by telegraphic dis-
patch. We are lost in conjectures at this proceeding, at the
moment when he was only waiting to get under weigh for
the arrival of Admiral Hamelin, who was to go out in the
Ariane. Everythingleads to a belief that there is to be impor-
tant modifications in the instructions which this ship is to
carry to the Pacific. The Heroine corvette, which is fitting
out with the greatest activity, is also► destined for Otaheite
and the Marquesas."
We learn from Belgrade, April 6, that sixty of the persons

Amongst them are the ex-Minister Rajewitsch, and several
Senators.

condemned to the gallies during a period of sixteen years,
from 1822 to 1837, amounted to 14,082 ; amongst whom
9,117 were received at Toulon, 3,193 at Brest, and 1,772 at
Rochfort.

The King of Prussia, says a letter of the 12th instant, from
Berlin, has granted permission to Dr. Lindner, one of the pro-
fessors extraordinary of the university of that capital, to give
a course of lectures on the advantages of oral testimony in
open court, and the trial by jury. This measure, adds the
writer, has raised a hope that our Government will at last de-
cide upon granting to the nation these two great guarantees
for an equitable administration of justice.
From Frankfort we learn that the Easter fair had been
brisker than for many years previous for all manufactures,
but especially cotton, which was dearer.
A letter from Coleah, in Algeria, by the last mail, states
that in spite of the prejudices of the Arabs, Dr. Smith has
succeeded in inducing them to allow the introduction of vac-
cination. At Coleah, and its environs, 227 children have al-
ready been vaccinated.
The Augsburgh Gazette has the following froni Rome, April
9 :—" The special tribunal of Bologna has Just delivered its
judgment against some of the recent promoters of disturbance
of the second class. Some have been sentenced to perpetual
imprisonment, and others to various periods of confinement
of from sto 25 years." The same journal states from St. Pe-
tersburgh that the Circassians are making great preparations
to resist the forces of Russia, and that the troops of the for-
mer amount to 90,000 men, command, d by French and Po-
lish officers.

LAW AND POLICE.
In the Consistory Court on Tuesday, the case of Dysart v.
Dysart came on for hearing. This was a suit fir restitution
of conjugal rights, instituted by the Earl of Dysart against
his Countess, which was met by her Ladyship with a plea of
cruelty charged by her against her husband The pleadings,
which are of great length, occupied a considerable part of the
day ; the case was then opened on the respective sides, and
the rest of the day passed in hearing and deciding upon ob-
jections to various letters offered as exhibits in the cause. The
argument will commence next court day.
At Union-hall Elizabeth Godfrey, a respectable looking
young woman, was brought befoi e Mr. Trail!, charged with
attempting to commit suicide. Policeman 132 L stated that
while on duty that morning, at one o'clock, he ob.,erved a
young female walking along Waterloo-bridge apparently
in a very dejected condition. He could heat' her sobbing as
she went along, and when she thought she was unobserved,
she retired into one of the recesses, and commenced taking
off her bonnet and shawl, and then ascended the seat, and was
in the, act of clambering over the parapet for the purpose of
throwing herself into the river, when he immediately hastened
up and pulled her back. The prisoner expressed her
regret and promised to return to her sister, if permitted.
The Magistrate, however, required sureties, and she was
locked up.
After
_the. night charges had been disposed of, Daniel
Dearlove, a young man, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Henry, at Lambeth-street, on a charge of entering the dwell-
ing-house of his uncle, Mr. James Dearlove, and stealing
therefrom bonds, bills of exchange, Bank of England notes,
and other property to a very considerable amount. The cir-
cumstances of the robbery have already been described. The
prisoner, with the advice of Mr. Pelham, who attended for him,
declined saying anything in his defence, and was remanded
to a future day.
Yesterday Thomas Horn, John Ruddick, William Southin,
and William Smith, four " cads" or'' hangers-on" of omni-
buses, were brought up at Hammersmith Police-court, on
warrants for having assaulted Robert Haggerstone, a con-
ductor, in the employ of the Hammersmith Conveyance Com-
pany. The assault having been proved against Ruddick,
Mr. Paynter said, such improper proceedings on the part of
persons connected with omnibuses would lead him to deter-
mine, in all future cases brought before him, to impose
the highest penalty the law allowed. There was not the
slightest accusation made against the conductor Haggerstone.
An assault had been clearly proved against the defendant
Ruddick, whom he should fine 20s. and costs; but the other
defendants must be discharged, there being no evidence
against them.
