The supreme counter-revolutionary tribunal at

Turin has passed sentence of death upon 35 per-
sons who occupied the first posts during the in-
surrection. Some of them, who had taken refuge
in foreign countries, and were condemned in their

absence, have protested against the competency
of the tribunal. Another act of the Piedmontese
Government, which the French Journals put
forth with ludicrous importance, is an order which
had just appeared, prohibiting the killing, buy-
ing, or selling any Alpine goat or part thereof,
under pain of fine and imprisonment. This, ob-
serves the French Journalist, is the only act of
clemency in Piedmont, from which none are ex-
cepted Ealluding to the recent amnesty]. Ac-
counts from the frontiers of Italy state that the
Pa rgiots and Suliots had made an attempt to recover
Parga, and the Turks and Albanians who occupied
it were forced to take refuge in the citadel.—An

rticle from Frankfort of the 13th instant says,

" For these last few days a rumour has prevailed
on 'Change that a mercantile house in this city
had received an express from Vienna, bringing
intelligence that war between Russia and the
Porte would break out without delay. The
house, however, was not specified, and M.
Rothschild, who is in constant communication
with St. Petershurgh, had received no such in-
telligence. This rumour, however, had a pow-
erful effect upon the Austrian Funds. It is
said that the Austrian Government is in treaty
with M. Rothschild for a new loan, on terms
very advantageous to him."

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
An Evening Paper was misinformed respecting
the contents of the light waggon that accompa-
nied his Majesty, which inclosed. the only ge-
nerous, spirited, and spiritual natures, that ever
now appear at the Royal table: it contained a
goodly and copious supply of choice wines and
'liqueurs to cheer the illustrious travellers. In a
country so notoriously deficient in the juice of
the grape as France, the precaution of providing
a flying cellar was most judicious ; and the
vinous machine could not but strike our neigh-
bours as a highly tasteful appendage to the train
of Royalty.

The public cannot fail to recollect with
what eagerness the Ministerial' Journals pro-
mulgated a story of Napoleon's having select-
ed Saint Helena for the . place of his interment.
We, however, are enabled to state, from the
best authority, that it is a gross fabrication.—
The fact is, that Counts Bertrand and Montho-
lon, finding that their demands to the Governor,
that Ills remains should be removed to Europe
for inffial, according to his will, were unavailing
and fruitless, designated a spot which Napoleon
seemed to have had most pleasure in frequent-
ing, prior to the restrictions imposed by Sir
Hudson Lowe, by which he was only permitted
to walk or ride upon the high road, and was pro-
hibited from entering into houses, or even speak-
ing to persons whom he might casually. encoun-
ter. Napoleon's body was buried on the island,
where he died, in consequence of an order of the
British Government sent _over in 1820. Will
not the French nation, on some' future day, de-
inand the execution of Napoleon's testamentary
desire ?—( Ibid.)

[THE TIMES.]
Madrid Papers, from the sth to the Bth instan
inclusive, arrived yesterday. The only article
of news which they communicate relates to the
state of the fever in the neighbourhood of Cadiz,
which will be found in another column. But
though they say nothing on the internal situation
of the country, their silence speaks volumes in
favour of its tranquillity, and against the state-
ments of the Ultras in France ; and the calmness
and temper with which the Extraordinary Cortes
coutinues to discuss a subject which is well calcu-
lated to create differences, and to excite passions,
is the best confirmation of the fact. That sub-
ject is a new division of the Spanish territory,
which, contrary to expectation, seems to create
no division among the members of the Cortes.—
We formerly mentioned that the project of law
had been under deliberation for three days, and
these papers furnish us with the debates for four
days more. It seems to have been generally
allowed, even by the enemies of the project, that
Spain was as inconveniently as it was unequally
divided into provinces ; that some of these pro-
vinces, such as Aragon, Catalonia, Valencia, and
Galicia, which were formerly kingdoms, were
still so disproportioned to the other provin-
cial divisions of the United Kingdom, as
to require Viceroys, instead of Governors or
Intendants, for their. Political Chiefs ; that
others, again, were so small as to incur unne-
cessary charges in their Civil Government ; and
that a more equal division would tend at once
to a quicker despatch of business, a more
convenient exercise of authority, and a consider-
able saving of expense. These four provincial
kingdoms (as they may be called) above-men-
tioned, are therefore to be divided into a greater
number of provinces, forming, along with the rest
of the kingdom, forty-one besides the seven
capital cities. The maximum of inhabitants to
each is fixed at 400,000 ; the minimum may des-
cend to 100,000. The names adopted for the
new divisions are borrowed from the chief towns
of each, and are not derived, like those of the
French departments, from rivers, mountains, or
other permanent natural objects. In this case
we think the Spanish Cortes have avoided a
tempting piece of legislative pedantry, but whe-
ther at the expellee of a more clumsy arrange-
ment, can only be ascertained by a minute
comparison of the topographical demarkation
of the project of law with the map of the
country. The total of the expences for the
Civil Government on the new arrangement of the
provinces is calculated by one member at
5,349,500 reals. The general principle of the
division was agreed to in the Sitting of the sth
inst., after a great variety of temperate speeches

for and against the measure ; and on that day,
coming to the details of the project, a district
round A licant was voted a province, and Alicant
was decreed its capital. Almeria was the next
proposed erection, because it followed next
alphabetical order, and was decreed a province
on the following day. The next was Aragon;
the limitations of which, and its distinction from

the ancient kingdom, would require more room
than we can at present spare. On the 7th inst.,
Avila, the Balearic Islands, Cadiz, and Cala-
tayud were severally voted provinces ; and we
need scarcely mention to our readers that in this
capacity they are all new erections.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCT. 20.

SITTINGS AFTER TERM BEFORE THE CHIEF JUSTICE.
The CHIEF JUSTICE sat this day in the Court
of Common Pleas, -Westminster Hall, pursuant
to adjournment, for the purpose of resuming the
business left unfinished last Term in the special
and new trial papers. His Lordship proceeded
with the special papers first in order. In most
or these cases the Counsel concerned were ab-
sent from town on professional business, or in the
country enjoying the very limited vacation,
which, On account of the increase of business,
the Court has now the privilege of allowing.—
Several causes were called on, and the Attornies
engaged excused on the grounds just mentioned
—the absence of their Counsel.
The Loan ,CHIEF JUSTICE—I regret exceed-
ingly that the public convenience requires the
adoption of a course which may seem severe in
its visitation upon the Gentlemen of the . Bar.
The arrangement, however, made for the dis-
patch of business appears to us not merely ex-
pedient but absolutely necessary for its accom-
plishment ; that arrangement was distinctly an-
nounced last term, and the Court expected—
naturally and reasonably expected, that in an
object so important to the interests of suitors,
the Gentlemen of the Bar would have co-ope-
rated with the Court. In that expectation the
Court has been disappointed, and the only course
which now presents itself, and which the Court
is determined to adopt, is to strike out of the
paper those causes in which Gentlemen are not
in attendance. Unless, therefore, some very sa-
tisfactory reasons are assigned for the absence of
Counsel, the Court will on Monday proceed to
strike out those causes in which Attornies are
not ready.

LORD EGREMONT J. KING.

This was a question interesting to agriculturists.'
The defendant had been tenant of a farm, and an
action had been brought against him for a breach
of one of the covenants of his lease, by which he
was bound to spread annually on the arable lands
of the farm five kilns of lime, each kiln contain-
ing 240 bushels Winchester measure. It was
alleged by the plaintiff that the defendant, during
the last year of his occupation, had failed to ful-'
til this covenant of the lease. An action had been
brought, and a verdict obtained by the plaintiff
against him for this breach of covenant.
Mr. MANNING now applied to have that verdict
set aside upon a case reserved. The facts were
these :—the defendant had held a lease of the
farm in question for eleven years. His term
commenced at Michaelmas, but by the custom of
the country the in-coming tenant was admitted
to take possession of such parts of the farm as
were intended for wheat by the 12th of May pre-
ceding the Michaelmas, in order that he might
have time to lime and prepare such land to re-
ceive a sowing of wheat. The defendant had,
accordingly, been admitted to such parts of the
farm in question, which he prepared for wheat,
laying on and spreading the necessary lime and
manure. On the expiration of his lease, the de-
fendant contended, that having, previous to the
commencement of his lease, manured as coming-
in tenant, he had an equitable right to deduct
such portion of manure as out-going tenant.
The COURT, however, held, that the words of
the lease were imperative, and that he was bound
by his lease to lay the specific quantity or lime
on the land. They therefore directed that the
verdict for the plaintiff should be affirmed.

As Captain FEETIIRM, an half-pay officer, was
on his way home to his lodgings in Pimlico on
Friday evening, he was stopped in Grosvenor-
place by three footpads, who robbed him, after a
severe scuffle, of two gold seals, the ribbon by
which they were attached to his watch having
broken in their attempt to snatch it.
A gentleman of the name of Hmtvcy, travel-
Hug in the liquor trade,•had his pocket picked at
St. Ives fair, on Thursday the 11th instant, of
3201. Ile was a traveller for the firm of Sir It.
BURNETT and Co, liquor merchants, Vauxhall ;
the thieves cut open his side-pocket, and so ob-
tained his bill-book.
We cannot.with too much severity comment
on the incautious and 400.ttrrantable practice of
persons making use of 'fititols or other fire-arms

ut the gardens or near the houses of the metro-
polis, not only in the day-time, but also in the
dusk of the evening. On Friday night, about
eight o'clock, as a gentleman residing in Upper
Cheyne-row, Chelsea, was in his bed-room on
the second floor, with a candle, some person
either wantonly or maliciously fired a ball at the
window, which it penetrated, and passed through
a lath and plaster partition on the opposite side,
into another room, at the extremity of w hich it
also entered the wall.' The ball was afterwards
found, and, from its size, it is conceived it could
not have proceeded from a pistol. Fortunately
no persons were injured, but the alarm it creat-
ed, especially at that hour, may be easier con.
ceived than described. Inquiry has since beer
made, but, we are sorry to say, that the perpe
trator of this infamous act has not as yet bee'
found.
