FOREIGN.

On Monday evening, their Majesties the King and
Queen of the French received the Ministers of Justice
and Public Works, the Neapolitan Ambassador, the
Danish and Greek Ministers, the Charge d'Affaires of
Spain, Marshal Duke de Reggio, and Lieut.-Gene-
rals Pajol, Jacqueminot, and Darriule.
M. Humboldt, it is stated, who has lately arrived
at Eu, has come to France on a diplomatic mission.
There appears to be an increase in the number of
bankrupts within the department of the Seine. In
August there were 62 declarations of bankruptcy,
and last month there were 73, being eight more than
in September, 1841 ; but, with -the exception of an
Insurance Company, and the Company of the Vaude-
ville, the bankruptcy of which was lately dOclared,
the list is composed of small traders in Paris and the
Banlieue.

• The King of the Belgians has just authorised the
L immediate establishment of a system of primary in-
' struction throughout the kingdom, including religion,
, reading, writing, the system of weights and Inca-
, sures, the first rules of arithmetic, in some cases
French, Flemish, or German. A normal school is
also to be established in each arrondissement, in order
to furnish teachers to the primary schools, in which
the course of instruction is to include French and
Flemish, or, in place of the latter, German, arith-
metic, drawing and surveying, music, gymnastics,
geography, and history.
On Sunday, before the races commenced at Chan-
tilly, Messrs. de Rothschild, Laflitte, Latour du Pin,
and other sporting men, subscribed a purse of 300 f.
for Cootes, the pedestrian, provided he accomplished in
30 minutes, to run once round the race course—leap
over 40 hurdles (4 feet 3 inches high), and pick up,
his hands tied, 50 eggs one yard apart, with his mouth,
placing each in a basket, without breaking any. e
performed the whole in 28 minutes.
Accounts from Constantinople of the l7th ult.,
state that an extraordinary movement was observed
during the last ten days in the offices of the Porte and
in the principal embassies. So much activity in di-
plomatical relations had not, in fact, been witnessed
since 1840. Notes were daily handed in by some or
other of the Ambassadors ; extraordinary councils
were held; private interviews took place with the
Minister for Foreign Affairs ; and finally, on the 15th,
there was a grand conference at the country seat of
Sarim Effendi, at which were present Riza Pacha,
Pacha, Tahir Pacha; and Sarfet Effendi; the
first interpreter of the Divan and the Representatives
of the five Allied Courts, accompanied by a secretary
and the first dragoman f each legation. The meet.
ing, which had been convened at two o'clock, lasted
until eight in the evening, and was said to have been
very animated. The discussion turned on the affairs
of Lebanon, but, from what had transpired, the assem-
bly must have broken up without coming to any defi-
nite decision.

LAW AND POLICES

Edward John Stephens alias Edward Williams,
was again re-examined at Lambeth-street, on the
charge of obtaining goods from tradesmen to a large
amount, and further remanded for a fortnight.
Francis Kirby, of whom the police have been in
search since January last, was brought up at Kensing-
ton on Wednesday, charged with having committed a
violent assault on Charles Baldwin, a servant of the
Bishop of London, and also with having stolen some
planks, the property of his Lordship. The prisoner
was committed to Newgate.
George Watt, late of the firm of Thomas and
Watt, warehousemen, of Bow-lane, was brought
before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, charged with obtaining
goods by false pretences. The evidence gave suffi-
cient ground for his remand till to-day.
Jane Refford, a country-girl, summoned her mas-
ter, William Knott, at A.larlhorough-street, on Wed-
nesday, for an assault. He was fined 4/. and costs.
It transpired at an inquest held before the Coroner
for Surrey on Wednesday, that great irregularity
attaches to the present holding of inquests, the death
often occurring in one jurisdiction,and the inquest been
held in another. Several railway cases, and others of
recent occurrence, were cited. The inquest ought,
by strict rule, to be held • near the spot, and in the
same county in which the death takes place.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

PALACE COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

FAULKNER V. STANBOROUGH.
This was an action brought by Messrs. Faulkner
and Mason, grocers, against the defendant, who is a
horse-dealer, residing at 6, Wilton-street, Grosvenor-
place, for the recovery of the sum of 121. Os. 6d. for
grocery, supplied to the defendant within the last
nine months. The defendant allowed judgment to
go by default, and the Jury, after evidence had been
given of the delivery of the goods, assessed the da-
mages at the amount claimed-121. Os. 6d.
STRANGE V. BLAGROVE.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a sur-
geon, against the defendant, who is a musical gentle-
man, residing in North-street, Portland-place, for the
recovery of the sum of 6/. 9s. for medicine and attend-
ance supplied to the defendant. Since the action was
brought the defendant had paid the amount claimed,
and a nominal verdict, therefore, was taken by the
plaintiff of one shilling.
CRIPS V. CITAMISERLAIN.
This was an undefended action, by which the plain-
tiff sought to recover from the defendant a sum of 19
guineas. It appeared that the plaintiff was a whole-
sale Tuscan and straw hat manufacturer, and the de-
fendant, Mrs. Chamberlain, who carried on a retail
business in the same line, was a customer of his.
Several dealings had taken place between them, and
at the present moment there was nearly 301. due to
the plaintiff; he had, however, confined his claim to
19 guineas, in order to bring the amount within the
jur;sdiction of that Court.
The Jury, after evidence had. been given of the
amount of the goods, and their delivery, gave a ver-
dict for the whole amount claimed.
ROGERS AND °TITERS V. COYLE.
This action was also undefended. The plaintiffs
are veterinary surgeons, and the defendant a gentle-
man of fashion frequenting the clubs at the West-end.
The action was brought to recover the sum of
15/. Os. 6d. for medicine and attendance.
Several witnesses were called, who proved the deli-
very of the medicine and the attendance of the plain-
tiff upon the defendant's horses. A veterinary surgeon
deposed that all the charges were most reasonable, and
the Jury returned a verdict for the whole amount
claimed.
The Court was occupied the greater part of the
morning with undefended actions on bills of exchange
that possessed no feature of interest.

THE STRAW BEGINS TO MOVE

SIR ROBERT PEEL SOLICITING DEPUTATIONS OF
THE MERCHANTS AND MANUFACTURERS.

NOTTINGHAM, at length the
Corm-law men and their Prime Minister are
coming to their senses, and are inclined to pay
some attention to the cries of woe and misery
that echo through the land. The Midland
Counties' great meeting of merchants and manu-
facturers, inserted in The Sun .at great length,
has excited the fears of Sir Robert Peel. The
talcs of distress related there, and the tremen-
dous blows aimed at the sliding scale by . Mr.
Crippsjan American manufacturer now resident
in Nottingham), have made too great an impres-
sion, to be disregarded by the Premier and his
supporters. Some statistical detailsgiVen by Mr.
Cripps to Mr. Mitchell, the High Sheriff of Lei-
cestershire, have been forwarded by that gentle-
man to the Duke of Rutland, who, as Lord
Lieutenant of the county, has transmitted them
to Sir Robert Peel. Sir Robert Peel has sent
for Mr. Mitchell, John Head, Esq., of Notting-
ham, and Chairman of the Derby meeting, Mr.
Biggs, of Leicester, and Mr. Cripps. The Depu-
tation saw Sir Robert on Wednesday, and de-
clared to him the evil workings of the Corn -
laws. He heard them patiently, but made no pro!
misc. The triumph is, however, great. Sir
Robert sees he can no longer trifle with the dis-
tress, and therefore he calls in the manufacturers
to consult them. The deputation were to wait
on the town Members on Wednesday night, as
well as many Anti-Corn-law Members of Par-
liament. The agitation works well. Thousands
are becoming converts to repeal. The Mayor of
Derby has convened a meeting for Monday, to
petition for a total repeal. Mr. Curtis, the Ame-
rican lecturer, is lecturing in Nottingham, to
crowded audiences, against the Corn-laws.

THE lONIAN ISLANDS.

Extract of a letter from Corfu, '2Bth ult., in the Aus-
trian Observer :
"- The missionary who has caused the disturbance here
is an American, not an Englishmen, as was at first stated.
The Governor sent him off to_ Athens. One British
soldier has been killed, and twelve have been more or
less severely wounded. An inhabitant of the town has
been killed, and several wounded. Numerous arrests have
been effected, and six of the police have been injured.
Some of the Greeks threw projectiles from the tops of
the houses on the soldiers, and the latter, in return, made
reprisals on them. The persons who penetrated into the
missionary's house and sacked it have been liberated.
The following circular has just been issued :
"'The events of last night having come to the know-
ledge of the Lord High Commissioner, his Excellency
has resolved on immediately adopting measures for put-
.ting an end to disorders of this kind. The undersigned
is, therefore, directed to inform the inhabitants that all
the soldiers,. except those on duty, have received the
most positive orders to leave the town at nightfall, and
to return to their quarters. The inhabitants are requested
to keep within their houses after sunset, and they are
forbidden to form crowds in the streets. The coffee,
houses, and all public places of resort where liquors are
sold, taverns, public-houses, &c., are to be shut at four in
the afternoon, and are not to be opened till seven in the
morning. The owners of shops will do well to Shut them
at six in the evening. The undersigned is directed to
recommend the inhabitants to abstain from all further
disturbances,- hi order to spare the overnment from the
pain of suspending the civil, and toloroclaim martial law.
' • By Order of his Excellency,
66 J. FRASER Secretary.'"

LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAIL-1

WAY COMPANY,

The half-yearly general meeting of this Company
was held yesterday at the London Tavern, for the pur-
pose of receiving a statement of the accounts for the
half-year from the Secretary, and the Directors' Report
from the Solicitor to the Company. The meeting was
called for one o'clock, but before that hour the large
room in the Tavern was crowded by Proprietors.
JOHN HARMAN, Esq., took the chair, and in doing
so said, ljtat as they had on that occasion matter of very
considera le importance to bring before them, he would
not trespass upon their time by many introductory re-
marks, but he would rather at once call their attention
to the Report of the Directors, reserving to himself the
opportunity, when that Report was read, of entering
into such explanations as they required ; therefore
without any further delay he would call on the Solicitor
to the Company to read the Report.
The Solicitor then read the Report, which was as
follows :

In the various lieports which have, from time to time,
been submitted to the General Meetings, it has ever been
the study,of the Directors to afford the most correct in-
formation on every subject connected with this under-
taking, and when they had the honour.to meet the Pro-
prietors in August last, there was every reasonable ex-
pectation that the present position of the Company would
have been such as they then anticipated.
At that,time, the Railway. had. been opened for some
weeks as far as Hayward's Heath, the traffic had been
conducted to the satisfaction of the public, the income
was gradually increasing, and the works on the remainder
of the line were so , near completion, that the Railway
was opened throughout to Brighton on the 21st of Sep-
tember following.

Thus far every thing progressed in the most propitious
manner, so much so, that the traffic amounted in the
second week after the entire opening, to 3,6991 lis. Bd.
Little did your Directors then expect that their pro-
spects were to be blighted by the unfortunate calamity
which so immediately followed, and by the extraordi,
nary wet season, producing a succession of difficulties
unprecedented, arising from causes over which they had
no control.

These circumstances, and the consequences occasioned
by them, being so fully adverted to in the Report of the
Engineer,, the Directors, contrary to their usual custom,
beg here to introduce it..

IN RE JULES VICTOR PAGES.

The insolvent was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on behalf
of Jean Baptiste Rollin, of Frith.street, Soho, to whom
he was in debt in the sum of 1491.

From the evidence of the witness, which was given
through the medium or an interpreter, it appeared the
insolvent was an artificial flower maker, and it was al-
leged that he had borrowed various sums of money from
the opposing creditor's wife, independent of the debt
named in the schedule. which arose on bill transactions.
After examining a French lady named Bailie, Mr.
Cook, who appeared for the opposing creditor, declined
proceeding farther with the case, and the insolvent was
ordered to be discharged.

OTH F. RS.

The COURT also gave judgment in this case. It was
an action brought to recover the value of a quantity of
silk which had been entrusted, to the defendants, as
common carriers for hire, and which had been lost by
their negligence. The plea. was that the defendants
ere carriers'after the passing of the Act Ist Wil. IV.
c. 68, and that, in pursuance of the provisions of that
Act, they had caused a public notice to be affixed in
their
,office, that certain excepted goods therein enume-
rated, being above the value of 10/., should pay an in-
creased rate'of carriage--that the silk in question was
one of these excepted articles, was above the value of
101., and that there was no engagement to pay the in-
creased charge. In the replication it was stated that the
defendants, as common carriers, had been guilty of gross
negligence. To that there was a rejoinder that the
goods had been delivered by the defendants to their ser-
vants in the.ordinary course of business, and that they
had been lost by their servants while under their care,
and negativing any want of care on the part of the de-
fendants. To that the plaintiff had demurred. The
question in the case was, whether, since the passing of
the Act Will. IV., carriers were liable for goods lost
from gross negligence on their part without notice and
without payment of the increased rate having been
made. In the declaration the expression was misfea-
sance, but that was dropped in the replication, and negli-
gence substituted. In deciding upon the present case,
which was the first that had occurred since the Act

came into operation, the Court must be guided by its
language and by the state of the law at the time it was
passed. In all the cases that had been decided in the
Courts previously carriers were held liable for the loss
of goods beyond the value of 101., where they had been
guilty of gross negligence. In the case of Wylde v.
Pickford, reported in the third volume of "Law Jour-
nal," 392, it was said that some uncertainty existed as
to the cases that were taken out of the notice required
to be given, and it was concluded in the case of Bodmin

IN THE MATTER OF THOMAS LEWIS.

The insolvent is this case was described as a coach-
maker, residing in Long-acre. His debts and liabilities
'were considerable, but none of the creditors appeared
in opposition save one named Holmes, a butcher, in
Silt el, street, Golden-square.
This person stated that the insolvent had dealt with
him at one time for upwards of I I years, and paid up
his account. He subsequently ran in debtfor 51.65. 41d.
for goods supplied, which sum formed the grounds of the
present opposition.

In his cross-examination by Mr. COOKE, who ap-
peared on behalf of the insolvent, he said that the in-
solvent's wife called on him a few days ago, and begged
of him not to offer any opposition, as a prolonged im-
prisonment in his present state of health would cause
his death, but he refused to listen to her.
The Learned COMMISSIONER, after commenting on
the opposition, ordered the insolvent to be discharged
forthwith.

has taken place in the Dutch rivers.
Count Von Lotturn, the Prussian Minister at our
Court, set out yesterday for Aix-la-Chapelle, to pay his
respects to his Sovereign, on his way to England.
It appears from an official report that the population of
the kingdom on the Ist of January, 1841, amounted to
2,893,716. The number of births in the year 1840 was
105,698. The number of deaths 72,636. Excess of

births, .33,062.
Since Wednesday the English steamers, with the mail
and passengers, have taken their departure from Sche-

had arrived at six o'clock, so that the English letters
and newspapers, which at this season are generally deli-
vered in the afternoon, or towards the evening, were de-
livered this morning.
THE HAGUE, JAN. 18.—Ilis Majesty, by a Decree of

embourg, to appoint a special commission for the pur-
pose of entering into a negotiation with the Prussian
Company which has completed the iron railroads from
Cologne to Aix-la-Chapelle, for the junction of the pro-
jected railway from Maestricht to the Prussian frontier
with that railroad, and to all the necessary steps for that
plan.—Dutch Papers, Jan. 18.

PROMENADE CONCERTS, ENG-

LISH OPERA-HOUSE.

These delightful concerts were last evening resumed at
this house. Signor Orsini, from the Philharmonic Con-
eerts at Rome, making his first appearance before an
English audience as conductor. Signor Orsini is a
thorough musician, Understands what his duty is as a
conductor, and executes it perfectly, without any of
those apish airs and affectations in which some of the
white-gloved race delight to indulge.Rln . a word,
he is worthy. to succeed 1. Musard, and this we consider"
no mean praise.: Among the pieces performed last even-
ing, was a fantasia,, including all the most popular airs
from Donizetti's opera L'Elisir d'Amore, in the arrange-
ment and adaptation of which Signor Orsini has exhi-
bited great taste, and considerable musical skill. The
performance of this fantasia was much applauded. Mr.
Richardson also made his first appearance at these Con-
certs, since his return from Ireland, and performed a
series of variations on " God save the Queen" on the
flute, with his accustomed taste and ability. This gen-
tleman is decidedly the first flute player of the day, and
we are glad to see that he is engaged to perform at these
Concerts every evening during the week. In addition to
the usual selection of overtures, waltzes, and quadrilles,
we had a grand selection from the music of the. Tempest,
which was admirably performed, and loudly applauded.
The house was exceedingly well filled.
