In the Spanish Chamber of Deputies, on the 26th,
Narvaez, in reply to certain questions respecting the late
events at Logrono, said that the Government were sure
of crushing the revolutionists wherever and under what-
ever shape they might present themselves ; that the
occurrences at Logrono were already known to the,
Chamber, and there remained but to chastise the guilty,
which should be done according to the laws.
The Municipal Council of Lyons has voted a sum o f
20,000 francs for the expense of the Wes which are to
be given on the occasion of the intended visit of the

The Phare of Bayonne of the 29th says :—" Our cor-
respondent at Vittoria sends us the following, dated
Nov. 27, and written at the moment the courier was
about to start :—` I have this moment received a letter
from Logrono, dated the day before yesterday, which
announces that Zurbano's son (Benito), his brother-in-
law (Juan), and two other individuals who had taken
part in the insurrection, had been shot.'"
In certain quarters, says the France, a promotion to
the Peerage is spoken of which is to comprise a well-
known name in the Opposition. We hesitate to give
credit to these reports, but it is the friends of the Mi-
nistry who repeat them, and who declare that M. Guizot
e,:s gained a victory over M. de Cormenin in getting
him to accept the Peerage. If this fact be true, it de,-
serves being explained ; and if it be a calumny, as we.
imagine, it ought to be contradicted as soon as possible.
We are well aware that in the dotation question a desire
exists to get rid pf the powerful athlete who has so often
fought against the zvishes of the civil list."
A letter from Rome of the 19th ult. states that, not
only the trees and shrugs were at that time in bud, from

seasons would have long ago migrated to other climes,
still remained.
In the evening of the 27th ult. there was so dense a
fog at Bordeaux that it was impossible to distinguish

The Havre journals, in noticing the arrival there of
the crew of the Lucie Josephine, which left Havre a
short time ago for Newcastle, to take in a cargo of coals
for Algiers, and was shortly afterwards wrecked near
Yarmouth, and pillaged by the inhabitants of the coast,
state that the captain remaiDs in England, for the pur.
pose of prosecuting the Englisii pilot, who ran the vessel,
as he thinks, intentionally aground.
The National Swiss Gazette states that great agita-
tion again prevails in the Valais, and that a general ex-
pectation is entertained there of another revolt.
The Minister of the Interior has treated, it is asserted,
with the Rouen Company for the employment of the
electric telegraph. The Government undertakes to pay
all the expenses. The company will have a private wire,
which it can make use of for matters relating to the line.
This was not, it is. said, granted without difficulty,
the Government wishing to monopolise the mode of com-
munication as it monopolises the present system of tele-
graphs.
Amongst the objects stolen lately from the residence
of the Blucher family are the magnificent sabre enriched
with diamonds given by the Prince Regent to the old
Marshal, and which cost 10,0001. sterling ; the gold box
which inclosed the freedom of the city of Berlin, worth
4,000 thalers (14,000 f.) ; and sixteen snuff-boxes, set
with precious stones, valued at 39,600 f. The whole is
estimated at 43,0001.

&AV" AND POLICD.
An indictment against Elgee and others, for conspir-
ing to cheat at cards, was tried in the Court of Queen's

by a strong animadversion upon the evidence produced
for the prosecution.

At Gloucester, Joseph Higgs was indicted for stealing
a silver watch, the property of Richard Alfred Dark, at
Stroud, on the 9th of September. The prisoner did not
plead when called on by the Clerk of Arraigns, and the
jury were sworn to decide whether he was mute Of
malice, or by the visitation of God. They found that
the latter was the case. The prisoner's master, from
whom the watch was stolen, was sworn as interpreter,
but could elicit nothing conclusive, except that the pri-
soner intimated that another boy stole the watch. The
judge then ordered a verdict of not guilty to be entered
as the prisoner's plea. The jury were again sworn on
the issue as to whether the boy was of sound mind or
not, and returned their verdict that he was not. The
poor fellow was then removed from the bar, Mr. Justice
Coltman desiring him to be kept in custody during her

Majesty's pleasure.

actually broken by th

—lst, with obtaining two half-crowns and a sixpence
from Wm. Wall ; 2d, the same sultn from Edward
Hammond ; and also a half-crown from W. Harding,
with intent to cheat and defraud them thereof: The pri-
soner is the soi-disant Chancery agent who has before

Guilty, and he was sentenced to be transported for seven
years.

injured, that his life was endangered. The excuse of
defendant was that he had let the rOOO, and had no con'
trol over the proceedings of the conductors of the masque"
rade. Mr. Traill said that he should inflict a fine of 31.
and costs on the defendant, and that he trusted in future,
should any entertainment be given at the Montpel-
lier, proper arrangements would be made, so as :to
prevent such a dreadful occurrence as that which hap-
pened on the morning in question.
