MISCELLANEOUS.

The misgovernment of the affairs of St. Pancras
for some years past, creating thereby very extensive
defalcations, has determined the heads of the parish
to call preliminary meetings in every district, in order
fully to explain to the rate-payers the position in
which they stand with regard to the parish funds, as
also with regard to the education of the children,
and treatment of the poor.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

" Who runs may read.'

FOREIGN.
The Journal de Honfieur has the following notice
relative to the Telemaque :—At the moment when
we are going to press we learn that the Telemaque
has been raised from the spot where it has been so long
imbedded ; it is covered with flags, and the cannon are
firing salutes.
The Madrid Gazette of the 7th publishes a decree
dated on the 2d, which announces the nomination of
M. Gomez Becerra to the post of President of the
Senate; and of Messrs. Landero Corchado and Perez
de Necoechea to the offices of Vice-Presidents.

It is said that the Spanish Government intend to
reduce the number of the Standing Army to 60,000
men.

The Infant Don Francisco was still at Sarragosaon
the 7th.

The Courrier de Lyon says that some symptoms of
agitation are observed in the Canton of the Grisons.
'roubles in that frontier canton might attract the
attention of Austria, which is so easily alarmed for the
tranquillity of Lombardy and Tyrol.

LAW AND POLICE.

The sum taken from a prisoner on his incarceration
in our country prisons is termed " garni3h." It ap-
pears to be a cruel oppression, and, if not paid, the
coat of the owner is appropriated. In one gaol eight
coats and hats were taken on this claim.

Francis Rugg, Henry Rugg, George Stephens, and
Christopher Rugg, who have been in custody some
time on a charge of obtaining a sum of money out of
the office of the Accountant-General of the Court of
Chancery, were finally examined at Lambeth-street,
and ordered for commitment for trial at the Old
Bailey, but will be brought up again before they are
transmitted to Newgate, owing to the absence of one
or two witnesses.

John Parsons was charged, at Wandsworth, with
putting off two 51. notes, being forgeries on the Bank;
he was remanded until Monday next.
John Morris, the person accused of setting fire to
the premises at Teddington, was re-examined on the
charge at the Feltham Petty Sessions. The evidence
appears to make the case one of strong suspicion
against him. He was remanded.

EGYPT.

ALIXANDRIA, OCT. 24.—0 n the 20th an express
came in from Syria in four days in a small fishing-
boat. It brought a few letters addressed to Lord
Aberdeen, to the British Consul-General here, to the
Admiral, and to the British Ambassador in Constan7
tinople ; these last were sent by the French steaMer.
'We have not been able to learn the newt brought by
this express, it being kept strictly secret. The neat,
after receiving the requisite receipts, left in two hours
on its return to Syria.
A French brig-of-war came in yesterday from
Beyrout, bringing dispatches for the French Consul.
By her we learn that Syria is in a perfect state of in-
surrection. • The Druses and the Maronites have
united, and' eclared against the Ottoman Government.
An engagement had taken place between them and
the Ottoman troops near Tripoli. The Turks were
worsted, with the loss of 100 killed and 400 wounded.
Another engagement had taken place in Damascus,
where the OttoinariS suffered a loss of another 100
men. From such news, -it is thought that the ex-
press which arrived by a fishing-boat on the 20th inst.
Was the bearer of some such melancholy intelligence.
We are most happy to announce that his Highness
the Viceroy has abolished the tax upon slaves ; this is
a happy prelude to their libaatiOn.

family. Dr. Stopford, the new Bishop, has been con-
secrated in the Cathedral of Armagh.
Porter, Bishop of Clogher, left upwards of 200,0001.

briquet of " Agar the Nagar," scraped together
400,0001. by penury and exactions. When the great

A tale of rare merit and engrossing interest. The cha-

ever found its way into a work of fiction."—Literary Gazette.
" One of the most touching and fascinating fictions which
the liveliest fancy could picture."—Court Journal.
" One of the best novels of the season. The story is full of
interest. "_Sunday Times.
" This novel belongs to an excellent school—that of the
Austens, Ferriars, and Bruntons. The plot is contrived and
developed with a degree of skill and judgment which are now-a-
days rarely aimed at, much less achieved, even by the most ex-
perienced and popular novelists."—New Monthly.

by vt bich

has settled and put to rest for ever, the
INTRICATE QUESTION OF THE CORN-BILL,

there can now be no doubt in the minds even of those who were
sceptical before, that land, the rental from which is now fixed
upon an immoveable rock of safety, is preferable to Three per
Cents., at a very unhealthy price.
Mr. Robins will conclude by inviting such capitalists as are
in search of the best investment extant, to give him personally
the opportunity to explain the minutiae connected with the
Woodehester property, which he has carefully surveyed, and
consequently is competent to add considerably to this very im-
perfect representation to those who may do him the honour to

embracing the well-known and highly
.celebrated collection of
pictures which for so long a period formed
LA BELLE GALLERIE

DU CHATEAU DE WESTMALLE, PRES D'ANVERS,
and enjoyed a reputation of so high a character among the
cognoscenti of all countries, which Mr. Robins feels cannot but
cause considerable excitement upon its being announced for
peremptory sale in London. The collection includes many
distinguished pictures, and there will be found chef-d'oeuvres
by the following eminent. masters, via.:--
Van Asselvn A. Van Dyck P. P. Rubens
Van Absoven Van der Does Rubens and Sneyders

Connected with this very important and distinguee sale, are
some veritable specimens of
ANTIQUE DECORATIVE FURNITURE
OF THE MIDDLE AGE,

presenting objects in the best taste, &c. ; all in the most ex
quisite state of preservation : they comprise, ha concise terms,
A MAGNIFICENT BEDSTEAD, EIGHT SPLENDID
ARMOIRES, AND TWO TABLES,
ELABORATELY CARVED IN ANCIENT OAK;
TWO GLASSES IN CARVED WALNUT-TREE
FRAMES ;

THREE FAUTEUILS AND TWELVE TABOURETS,
DECORATED WITH RED SILK DAMASK;
ANTIQUE ARMOIRES, SECRETAIRES, TABLES,
AND MANY GOTHIC GROUPES AND FIGURES,
the whole of which formerly embellished the well-known
CHATEAU DE WESTMALLE.

They are now on their way from Antwerp, and will be ar-
ranged for public inspection during the week previous to the
sale ; but, as a concluding remark, Mr. Robins is anxious to
impress upon the elllectors of -ancient carved furniture, that
the objects which he has so imperfectly described are not to be
classed among the " modern antiquities" which deluge the
market at the present time. They comprise a part of the pa-
trimonial possessions of the highly respectable vendor, and
have remained during centuries in his family.

MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE.

At the meeting of the subscribers of the School for
Indigent Blind, held on Tuesday at the London Tavern,
it appeared from the Report that since the opening of
the institution, 294 persons had been enabled to get a
living. The receipts for the past year amounted to
10,9221., and the expenditure to 9,7131., leaving a
balance in hand of 1,2071.

vered, and a large forfeiture would take place in the
event of his being convicted of the very grave crime
with which he was charged, yet, looking at the whole
Case, it was perfectly clear that this was a criminal and not
a civil case. If the warrant had been issued out only
this morning, still the arrest would have been a legal
one. This was one of those cases to which the
privilege never had extended, and never could he
permitted by any principle of common law. Captain
Douglas had been arrested under criminal process,
and therefore was not entitled to be discharged.
The prisoner was then removed in custody of the
Sheriffs' officer.

BAIL COURT, Nov. 16.

THE QUEEN V. MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY.

Mr. BUTT applied in behalf on Mrs. Stansfield for
a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not
issue commanding the Company to issue their war-
rant to assess compensation claimed by her for injury
done to her house in Halifax by the Company. The
first Act of Parliament for snaking the Manchester
and Leeds Railway was passed in 1836, which gave
the Company power to raise embankments, &c.,
en making compensation to the parties injured.
In the year 1837, the Company obtained another Act
of Parliament, empowering them to alter the line of
railway. The house of Mrs. Stansfield was near the
second line, and the affidavit stated that its foundation
was injured by the works of the Company, and that
it sustained other injuries. Application for compen-
sation was made to the Company in 1840, but the
Company refused to make any compensation.—Appli-
cation granted.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

At Halifax the state of the prison is said to be
most reprehensible. A number of the prisoners are
to be seen in the tap-room, whom the publican-
gaoler boards at rates up to a guinea a-week. The
Sheffield lock-up is in the same state of disorder and
neglect. The cells are many of them quite dark,
with dirty straw litter ; the prisoners are unprovided
with soap or towels, and the keeper, though allowed
Bd. a-day for their maintenance, furnishes nothing
but bread and water for this sum.

It is stated by Mr. Walker, in a letter just pub-
lished, that after a shower of rain, and during the
warm season, the air in London is sensibly loaded
with and corrupted by the emanations from the dead.
A peculiar putrefactive odour in the neighhourhood
of Parliament-street, arising principally from the
surface of St. Margaret's churchyard, is frequently
distinguished.

It is perfectly true that suck- an invention pis in
existence, totally distinct from the - principle of bal-
loons; that a working model has been shown me,
which, by its action, appears to establish the' perfect
practicability of travelling through the air, being so
complete and simple in.its construction, and the com-
bination of its parts, so extraordinary, that little doubt
remains that the important results of the invention
will be fully achieved.
I am given to understand that the first carriage will
be ready for operation early in the ensuing year; it
therefore behoves individuals to await the develop-
ment of this wonderful invention, when it may be-

The insolvent applied to be liberated on bail. He
was the patentee of a certain invention for improving
locomotives on railroads and for steam-packets; the
patent right in which was lodged in Court with the
official assignee for the benefit of his estate, which he
alleged would be able to pay 20s. in the pound, if he
could realise the profits from the different companies
with which he stated himself to be connected.
Bail was allowed to justify in the sum of 7001., and
the insolvent was liberated.

UNION-HALL.

Mr. Hicks, of the Surrey Theatre, was charged
before Mr. Cottingham with threatening to horse-
whip Mr. Webb, a comedian of the same establish-
ment. The complainant stated that, owing to the
threats of personal violence made use of by the defen-
dant towards him, he found it necessary, for his
personal safety, to have recourse to the present pro-
ceedings against him. He (complainant) was not
desirous of entering into a statement of the particulars
of the misunderstanding between him and the defen-
dant, but he would take the liberty of producing two
letters received by him from that individual, which
would at once explain the nature of the threats held
forth against him by his adversary. The complainant
here handed in two letters, saying they contained the
language and threats alluded to.
Mr. TRAIL', having read the letters, said that one
of them was certainly calculated to excite the feelings
of the complainant, but the other one appeared to be
of a more conciliatory nature.
The complainant said the second letter was written
by the defendant after he had ascertained that pro-
ceedings were to be taken against him.
The defendant said the applicant need be under no
apprehension, for he had no intention to strike him.
The complainant made a declaration that he appre-
hended personal violence from the defendant.
Mr. TR ATLI. said, at that rate, he must bind over
the defendant to be of good behaviour for six months,
particularly towards the applicant. He should re-
quire the defendant to enter into his own recognisance
in 801., but would not require him to find other sureties.
The defendant, upon leaving the office, remarked
that it was his first appearance at that Court, and that
.he was desirous of depositing ss. in the poor-box.
