The Univers, a French religious paper, gives the following
results of the operation hitherto of the right of search :—" The
number of negroes liberated from 1828 to 1835 has been 8,312,
taken in 29 slavers, and liberated by the mixed Committee
sitting at Havannah, 3,193, from 10 slavers, and liberated by
the Committee of Rio Janeiro, 27,686, taken in 142 vessels,
and set at liberty by the Committee at Sierra Leone, bet ides
those who have been liberated by the special tribunals of each
contracting nation. For France alone the numbers are 525 at
Martinique, 702 at Guadaloupe, 800 at Guayana (Maria), and
465 at Bourbon, making in all 41,683 negroes, whom the right
of search, such as it is exercised at present, has set at liberty
in the space of eight years. For ail those, whom the senti-
ment of human dignity has not abandoned, this is undoubtedly
something."
The grand fete given by Lord Cowley, at the British Em-
bassy on Tuesday night, to celebrate her Majesty's birthday,
passed off most brilliantly, and was pronounced to be one of
the most splendid entertainments ever given in the French
capital.
The Commerce says :—" M. Olozaga will, it is understood,
soon return to his post, as Ambassador at Paris. It is pro-
balile, therefore, that Count Salvandy will not delay returning
to Madrid, for he still preserves the title of Extraordinary
Ambassador of the King to Spain."
The Sentinelle de Toulon of the 22d instant states, that the
Veloce steamer, which arrived on the preceding day with 18
sick, had left the squadron of Admiral Hugon at the islands of
Hyeres. On the 20th the frigate Medee came in collision with
the Ocean man-of-war, carried away her stern boat, and re-
ceived considerable injury in her rigging. Several persons were
wounded on board the Ocean, and amongst others Admiral
Hugon, who was struck on the head.
A letter from Beyrout, April 28, in the Echo de l' Orient,
states that the plague was raging at Der-el-Kamar, and that
some eases had occurred at Saint Jean d'Acre, but Beyrout
was, up to that period, free from the disease. The same letter
informs us that Colonel Rose, the British Consul, had narrowly
escaped assassination. Whilst riding on horseback he was at-
tacked by an Albanian, who snapped a pistol at him, but it for-
tunately missed fire, and the Colonel rode eff.
Our accounts from Athens are of the 10th inst. They state
that French influence was all powerful in Greece for the pre-
sent, and that Russia on the other band was actively labour ing
to get up, by working on the religious fanaticism of the people,
a powerful opposition to King Otho.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 26.

TIM QUEEN V. THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY
In this case Mr.. (now Mr. Justice) Cresswell had obtained
a rale calling on the Attorney-General to show cause why,
upon the payment f.f a deodand of 1251., all further proceed►ngs
against the Company should not be stayed.
The case arose out of an accident on the railway, caused by
the bursting of a boiler, by which four persons lost their
lives. An inquest was held on the bodies, and the jury in their
verdict returned a deodand of 5001. against the engine, which
had been sworn on the trial to be of the value of 1,3001. The
jury apportioned out the amount of the deodand in four different
sums of 1251. each, to be given to the families of the sufferers.
The rule obtained by Mr. Justice Cressofell had been granted on
the ground that the verdict was on this account informal, inasmuch
as one deodand only could be levied upon any article, while the
jury had, in effect, ordered the payment of four different
deedands.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now appeared to show cause
against the rule.
The Cou KT, after hearing the case argued, decided that the
plea put forward by the Company could not be maintained.
The jury had substantially awarded a verdict of 500/. ; and the
Company were bound either to pay the entire amount, or to
give up the engine.
The rule was therefore discharged.

BAIL COURT, May 26.
GATES v. BENNETT.
This was an action to recover twenty-one guineas, the
price of a mare sold by the plaintiff, who keeps livery-
stables in New-road, Sloane-street, to the defendant, who
is a wine-merchant living in Rathbone-place. The de-
fendant pleaded that he made no promise.
Mr. JONES stated the case. The defendant
was introduced to the plaintiff at his stables
in October last, and asked to lo'k at the horses,
and saw a mare, which he said 1 .! should like to
purchase for his son, whom he expected from India.
He then desirad to have the mare saddled, and said that
if he likei her he should purchase her in three or four
days. Se role, the mare away, and did not return her

PAISLEY.

Since the month of July in last year the labouring
population of Paisley has been suffering from distress,
caused by the stagnation of trade, and the consequent
failure of a large number of firms in that borough.
This distress continued with great severity through-
out the winter, and the spring has not brought that
increased demand for goods which might have been
.::petted.

-Some of the more skilful weavers have indeed pre-
cured employment, but a large portion of the popula-
tion still remain dependent on charity.
AS many as 12,000 persons have been maintained
for several months from the contributions collected in
England and Scotland, and even in India.
The poor-law of Scotland, as now administered,
confers no effectual right to relief upon men who
are able to Work, or upon their families ; at present,
therefore, the legal provision: for the relief of the
destitute in Scotland is not applicable to This class of
persons, and even if it had been so applicable, the
pres Sure of so large a number of men without work
must soon haVe absorbed a considerable proportion of
the property in the borough.
The subscriptions raised in this county, in the
county of Renfrew, the city of Edinburgh, and
parts of Scotland, are all expended.
Thus no legal mode of effectually relieving this
mass of destitution exists, and the charitable feelings of
those connected with the place have been taxed to the
utmost.

It may be added that these sufferings have for the
most part fallen on a class of workmen whose general
earnings. ',yen in prosperous times, are insufficient to
allow of any provision for future difficulties, and that
thr.s have been borne with patience and fortitude.

Mr. Bateman gave similar testimony, and further, that
Mr. Cates offered to take back the mare on Monday,
and give 251. for her, if in the same condition as when he
sold her.
Mr. THESIGER addressed the Jury for the defendant,

at the price of 20 guineas, orhiring her till May-day for
four guineas.
Several witnesses were examined for the defence.

COURT OF B4IVICRUPTCY, May 26.
IN RE GEORGE BERKLEY KIRKWOOD CASSIDY.
The bankrupt in this flat was the individual who made him-
self so notorious some time back, in what was then termed by
a portion of the daily press, the " Delicate affair in Paris," and
with which the names of Lord William Paget and his lady
were mixed up. He was officially described as a bill-broker,
in Bucklersbury.
This day being appointed for an audit in the case, the solici-
tor to the fiat stated to the Court that as yet only a very small
sum had been realised from the estate, which was chiefly from
promissory notes and bills of exchange, and that a considerable
expense had been incurred in endeavouring to trace his present re-
sidence, so that instead of their being any sum available as a
dividend for the creditors, at present the expenses incurred
had more than exceeded the receipts.
After a few words from the Official Assignee and the Learned
Commissioner, the further hearing was ordered to stand ad-
journed for a week.

THE BOA CONSTRICTOR

The conjecture concerning the extraordinary appear-
ance of the boa constrictor, lately killed in the wood at
Wellvove, turns out to be correct, the snake having on
the night previously to its destruction made its escape
from a travelling collection of wild beasts, &c., which
had been exhibiting at Carnfield, upwards of two miles
from the spot where the reptile was killed. On Tuesday
the owner of the exhibition made his appearance at
Wellgrove, and was somewhat indignant at the slaughter
of his protege, for which he said he would not have taken
20 guineas. He claimed the skin of the defunct snake,
which was of course given up to him. It appears that
the snake, in its gambols, had forced out a part of the
partition of its cage, and then crawled into an adjoining
cage, which being empty the door had been left ma-
fastened. From thence it made its way to the open
space in the caravan, and effected its escape through an
open window. The owner of the exhibition declares that
there is no doubt but the reptile made an attempt to seizi
the lamb, as mentioned in a former account, having been
near its usual feeding time, and its gastronomical powers
were such that it has been known to gorge dogs of con-
siderably larger dimensions than is usual with lambs at
this season of the year, after having crushed the animals
within its deathly folds, and duly prepared them for the
process. The following rather laughable incident con-
nected with the appearance of the snake, will show that
the rambles of the reptile had not been altogether un-
observed by another individual, a farmer of the neigh-
bourhood, somewhat notorious for his devotion to the
" jolly god," who, having been spending the best part of
the night with some kindred devotees, happened to be
wending his way homeward shortly after daybreak on
the Monday, when, in passing along a lane skirting the
" fells," he was startled by observing a dark-looking
object waving to and fro, open mouthed, amongst the
bushes of a hedge by the road side. The sight of this
singular object, it appears, partly brought the farmer to
his senses, for he rushed apparently in great alarm into
his dwelling, exclaiming, much to the gratification of his
cara sposa, vulgo, " old woman," " that he'd be domm'd
if he did na gie up the cursed licker altogether, for that
he had seen the devil in the shape of a fiery serpent,
wiggling waggling his head at him most awful." •

thelice Constable, No. 25 of the A division, stated, that
about nine o'clock on Wednesday evening, as he was on
duty in Hyde Park, near to the Royal Humane Society's
Receiving-house, his attention was drawn to the prisoner,
who was walking on the margin of the river, read-
ing A prayer. book. She had attracted the ob-
servance of several persons by her strange de-
meanour, who
began to assemble around her.
Two or three times she pushed towards the
water, as if about plunging herself in, but desisted,
either from persons advancing towards her, or the sound
of an approaching. carriage. Witness accosted her, and
inquired what she was doing there, but she refused to
give any account of herself, and seemed painfully anxious
to screen herself from the gaze of the bystanders, who
had been observing her actions. On her way to the sta-
tion-house, she admitted that her intention was to drown
herself, in consequence of a quarrel she had had

her address, further than stating that the had been
living at the east end of the town. On witness reproving
her for attemptitb* such a rash act she replied, in a tone
of bitterness, "You did not give me life, and have no
right. to prevent my taking my own.
Mr. HARDwlcK—What account are you now disposed
to give of yourself. Where do you come from. What
are you ? Prisoner—l decline answering those questions.
Mr. HAnnwicK—But in what station of life here you
been in. How did you gain your livelihood ? Prisoner
—I have been the head of a family for eleven years.
Mr. HARDWICK—In what capacity? Prisoner (burst-
ing into tears, and evidently in great agony of mind)—
I was called a wife ; but I am abandoned, and hive no
relatives or succour to look to.
Mr. HARDWICK. further interrogated the unfortunate
woman, but she persisted in refusing to give any account
of herself or connexions, and the worthy Magistrate
therefore directed that for the present she should be re-
ceived into St. George's Workhouse.

BELGIUM.

BRUSSELS, MAY 15.—A letter from Ostend says—
" From the 17th of this month a steam-boat, belonging
to the Antwerp Company will leave Ostend every Tues-
day for 'London, and, vice versa. The steamer to be
employed on this line is the Bruges, which will tette pas-
sengers, &c. , on the same terms as the General Steam
Navigation Company.
" This latter Company has, however, given notice that
the passage-money on board its vessels, which will leave

or. the 17th 4)f this month, which
1/. ss. in the seci?..td, is reduced to 3,. in the first and to
4s. in the secoo cabin.
BRUSSELS, :MA v 12.—The AugsZurg Gazette says, that
Count Velaiu has been appointed Envoy for Belgium to
the German Confederation, but this mws requires con-
firmation. M. Kindt, who has hitherto attended the
commercial negotiations with the French Governtnent
for the conclusion of a treaty of commerce, has returned
from Paris without having obtained any result. The
appeal of General Vandermeers, and the other persons
condemned to death for the conspiracy, comes before
the Court of Cassation this morning. On the applica-
tion of • their counsel it was adjourned for three weeks,
because he had not had sufficient time to make himself
acquainted with the voluminous papers relating to the
affair.

THE BOA CONSTRICTOR.

The conjecture concerning the extraordinary appear-
ance of the boa constrictor, lately killed in the wood at
Wellgrove. turns out to be correct, the snake having on
the mght previously to its destruction made its escape ~;!°.,
from a travelling collection of wild beasts, &c.,- which ,
had been exhibiting at Canfield,' upwards of two miles ' )
from the spot where the reptile was killed. On Tuesday J`
the owner of the exhibition made 'his appearance at - '
Wellgrove, and was somewhatindignint at the slaughter -
of his protege, for which he said he would not have taken,
20 guineas. lie claimed the skin of the defunct snake,
which was of course given up to him. It appears that
the snake, in its gambols, had forced out a part of the
partition of its cage, and then crawled into an adjoining
cage, which being empty the door had been left un-
fastened. From thence it made its way to the open
space in the caravan, and effected its escape through an
open window. The owner of the exhibition declares that
there is no doubt but the reptile made an attempt to seize
the lamb, as mentioned in a former account, having been
near its usual feeding time, and its gastronomical powers
were such that it has been known to gorge dogs of con-
siderably larger dimensions than is usual with lambs at
this season of the year, after having crushed the animals
within its deathly folds, and duly prepared them for the
process. The following rather laughable incident. con-
nected with the appearance of the snake, will show that
the rambles of the reptile had not been altogether un-
observed by another individual, a farmer of the neigh-
bourhood, somewhat notorious for his devotion to the
" jolly god," who, having been spending the best part of
the night with some kindred devotees, happened to hi.,
wending his way homeward shortly after daybrea
or;
dirk-looking
the Monday, when, in passing along a lane skir•:,,, the
" fells," he was startled by observing a
object waving to and fro, open mouthe",, amongst the
bushes of a hedge by the road side. The sight of this
singular object, it appears, partly iv:ought the farmer to
