chitis ; but in almost every instance the numbers art•

ing Oct. 19, has been very great, amounting to no:
less than 797. The following is an analysis of the

THIS DAY'S NEWS

FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 28.—This morning, the King
received with the usual ceremony the dispatches of
the Chamber of Representatives commissioned to
present to him the address of the Chamber, in reply
to his Majesty's speech.
His Majesty made the following answer :
"Gentlemen,—The object which I have proposed
to myself, and which you have just defined in so
happy a manner, claims our solicitude. I know that
I may depend on your patriotism and your enlight
ened regard for the national interest.
" You have given a new proof of the sentiments
which animate you by the activity with which you
have commenced your labours, for which I sincerely
thank you, in the name of the country."
The Chamber of Representatives, after having
heard the King's answer to the address, entered on
the discusssion of the project of law relative to the
settlement and relief of the poor.
We hear that Messrs. Van Gend sent to London
not only two of their clerks, but also two others em-
ployed in their French office, in pursuit of the con-
ductor who absconded with 35,000 f., and that they
have discovered and arrested him at Liverpool, with
the money in his possession.
CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 9.—The Turkish Ministry
has been made easy with respect to its apprehensions
of the negotiation of England with Mehemet Ali, for
facilitating the communication with India over the
Isthmus of Suez; and Sir Stratford Canning has
succeeded in obtaining from the Porte the permission
sought by the Viceroy, for the conclusion of a conven-
tion to that effect with Great Britain. Meantime the
British Ambassador has received from Alexandria
accounts which are far from satisfactory. It is said
that Mehemet Ali insists more obstinately than ever
on forming himself all the necessary establishments
on the Isthmus, and in providing for the conveyance
(of goods and passengers) on his own account. Mr.
Bourne had returned from Cairo to Alexandria and
had had again two conferences with Mehemet Ali ; in
consequence of which he seems to have given up all
hope of inducing him to change his mind.

Sir CHAPMAN' MARSHALL asked what part of the

Julie Williams was brought before Mr. Hall, the chief

burglary in the house of Mr. Berry, watchmaker, 53,
Parliament-street.
Policeman A 84, deposed that he was on duty in Par-
liament-street about twelve o'clock the night previous,
and heard a noise like the ringing of a crow-bar falling
on the pavement. He went up tp the spot and found
the prisoner, with several other persons, standing near
to the shop of Mr. -Berry, watchmaker, the prisoner
having the crowbar in his hand. Witness immediately
seized him, but' the others made off. On examining the

together inside at the counter, making some trifling pur-
chase. Smith had on an ample cloth cloak. Carter was
keeping the attention of the two persons serving behind
the counter. Smith drow from a shelf underneath the
counter the roll of cloth in question, which by degrees
he drew up under his arm to the cloak, unnoticed by any
person in the shop. They shortly after left together,
and witness continued to follow them until he met with
police-constable No. 50 of the C division.
Mr. Goodall identified the cloth as being the property
of the firm, and of the value of between 2/. and 31.
The prisoners made nu defence, and were fully com-

the last two years. Last Monday night, he was aroused
from his sleep by the violent noise she made below stairs.
Ile went down to pacify her. She, seizing a poker, broke
his left arm. Having committed this injury, she went
outside the door, and smashed every window in the
house that was within her reach.

knocked her down and jumped on her; but this he posi-
tively denied.—She was fully committed for triaL

with stealing a valuable
gold watch, the property of Mr. Cbapple, of No. 31,
Piccadilly.
The complainant,stated that as he was, between ten
and eleven o'clock the preceding night, walking along
the Westminster-road, the three prisoners came up and
surrounded him. In a moment one of them made a pull
at his watch, and they all ran, but he seized one of them,
while a policeman pursued the other two and secured
them. No property was found on them, but they had
not been long locked up when a woman named Lloyd
brought the complainant's watch to the station house,
having (by her account) found it under the gate of the
Freemasons' School, the spot where the complainant was
robbed. In the course of the examination it was stated
the particular place where the robbery took place was
nightly infested with prostitutes of the lowest order, who
make a point of insulting and robbing persons passing in
that direction.
The prisoners Were remanded till Saturday.
