FROM THE. FRENCH PAPERS.

The Comic?. Francais gives a letter addressed to
it by a subscriber, who signs his name " Charles,"
from which we make the following extracts :
" I am one of a small number of persons who
were admitted at ten on Thursday evening to view
the chamber in which the
..Duku of Orleans ren-
dered his last sigh. The house is only one story
high, faces the road, and is painted red, like most
of those which are used as wine-shops. The first
room serves as the shop. Some drawers with packets
of drugs over a counter which confines the passage,
are the only furniture. It was used as a small gro-
cer's shop. A narrow door leads into a back shop,
in which the Prince Royal of France expired. • A
table covered with oil-cloth' for the drinkers, two
chairs, a small earthen-ware stove with a zigzag
funnel, standing in the middle, some vessels for cook-
ing hung against the wall, which was naked, an old
musket; and two brass candlesticks, placed on a large
stone chimney-piece blackened with smoke and filled
with a stove, at which Lecordier and his wife dressed
their meals. Such is the composition of this room,
which is twelve feet square. It was between- the
stove and the end wall, on two mattrasses brought
in haste, that the illustrious sufferer was laid-his
head near the stove, and his feet towards another
door leading to a staircase. The room was lighted by a
dilapidated window' the lower part of which opened
into a yard covered with a fetid heap of dung. The
Duke of Orleans never appeared -for a moment to re-
cover his senses ; his eyes were, hoWever, constantly
open but fixed. It is not true that he rendered blood,
but at one time vomited copiously, from which he
seemed to be much relieved, and this it was that gave
a momentary hope."
. The Moniteur Algerein, of the 9th inst., mentions
the arrival' at Algiers- Of the crew of the Austrian
vessel the Falmar, composed of Captain Vianello, his
son, and six sailors, who were wrecked on the coast
of Gigelly last January, and fell into the hands of
the Kabyles. On the . demand of the Consul, M.
Peloso, and with the authorisation' of the Governor-
General, negotiations for the ransom of these persons
were brought to a happy conclusion by the aid of
General Negrier, the officer in command of the pro-
vince of Constantino.

The Sud of Marseilles gives an account of the triple
crime of attempted parricide, fratricide, and self-de-
struction, committed by a young man, a butcher, in
that city. Actuated by a feeling of jealousy against
his younger brother, the assassin, taking advantage of
his father being asleep, dealt him a heavy blow with
a club on the head. Believing that he 'had accom-
plished his murderous purpose, he immediately

sued ; , but Vounger -- brother at length
was overpowered, inki •fell dead, bathed in Iris blood.
The assasMn then attempted to destroy himself with
his knife, but it appears' he wanted courage' to com-
plete the act. 1-le was arrested and taken to prison,
where-he soon after :accomplished his purposed act-of
Suicide by, strangulation. The father is considered
to be, in a fairsay of recovery.

",.The fleath of th-c, Prince was caused by an eerase-
;nent Of -the 'heal This denomination
,was given by
Dupuytren to a complication. of the severest lesions ,
of the-skull, 11a/hely,- contusion, laceration, rupture;.
'and fracture. .'To these we may add a species of
luxation for Med -by the separation 'of the sutures.
The eXaminatioh, therefore, preSented every epos-
sible physical injury of the , head. These ecrase-
meats, or extensye complicated fractures, with
depression of the cerebral substance, and without
division , of
~the: skin, , generally result from the
%shock of a beam, . '-heavy stone, a waggon wheel
passing over :,the head, the fall of a horse over
its rider, and, above all,. from cannon-balls striking
:the head oblique direction. Falls, also, from a
considerable height,- with the head foremost, pro-
' duce similar ;effects: The carriage of the Prince
was -very low," and he must have received a most
violent impulsion, Tor the weight of his body alone
cannot explain the cause of so many fractures,
and so complete a crushing of the bones. We
:oust either suppose that the two forces were so
directed as to make the head exclusively receive
the shock, or else that the bones were extremely
brittle, many examples of which are recorded by sur-
gical writers. The body was opened forty hours after
death; Ihe following is a summary of he observa-
tion s xt ern al Aspect—Commencement of putre-
faction, especially on the abdominal region; and the
posterior part of the . t runk. Cadaverous rigidity of
the limbs. Traces •of contusion en the right
cheek, and on the eyebrow and temple of the
same side. A large sanguineous tumour on the
right posterior part of the cranium ; traces of con-
tusion on the anterior part of both knees, on the
left hand, and a little below the left hip. Marks of
leeches, which had been applied, after the accident, in
large numbers, behind both cars. Puncture (by
bleeding) of the median cephalic vein of the right
arm. Marts of the application of the cupping set/1-M-
-cator on different parts of the body, and also of
sinapisms on the legs. There was bloody infiltration
of the soft. parts which cover the superior, posterior,
and lateral regions, of the cranium. This infiltration
was more extensive behind, and on the right side,
than elsewhere. The lambdoidal and temporal
sutures, on the left side, were disunited,' as also
were the sphenoidal. and tempora-petmal sutures..
The fractures were very numerous, and may be di-
vided into three series, as to their position and direc-
tion-Ist, Fractures of the right side of the skull. One
of these fractures commenced a little to the right of
the lambdoidal suture, passed above the posterior and
inferior angles of the parietal bone, over the scaly
portion, or vs squamosont, of the temporal, and ter-
minated on the temporal process'of the sphenoid.-
2. Fractures of thq left side of the skull. The
most serious of these fractures extended from the
left side of the lambdoidal suture, dividing the pa-
rietal bone, from behind forwards, into two parts,
separating the us sgitguiusunt frem. the remaining
portions of the temporal bone.—idly, Fractures of
the base of the skull ; a third fracture divided the sphe-
noid transversely, separating into two portions the
sella foreleg. by the forementioned extraordinary
and extensive fractures, the cranium was literally di-
vided into two parts, namely, an anterior superior
portion, comprehending the upper parts of the two
parietal bones, the es squaniosum of the temporal, the
frontal, ethuioides, and the. entire of the sphenoid,
and a posterior and inferior part which in-
cluded the occipital bone, the inferior parts
of both temporals and parietals, and the hind-
moq portion of the sphenoid. This division
was so complete, that it was easy to exercise a move-
ment of separation, or deduction of the two parts.—
The brain was very large. The anterior and inferior
parts, as far as the fissure of Sylvius, were reduced to
a pulpy red matter.. _ln the cavity of the arachnoid
membrane was a very considerable effusion of blood.
A. few drops of sero-sanguineous fluid were found in
the ventricles. The spinal marrow and its osseous
envelope were unhurt. There was effusion of blood
in the pleurae ; the lungs were gorged with blood,
but they were not adherent. The heart and pericar-
dium were sound. The abdominal viscera were in
their normal state."
" The cruel accident which terminated in the death
of the Duke of Orleans," observes the Gazette du
Mdi, " seems to have been in a manner predicted
by several prior occurrences of the same nature. For,
only a short time after his marriage, his horses ran
away with him, and very. nearly threw his "carriage
into the Garonne ; a:id, in one of his journeys to
Toulon, he was on the verge of being overturned
into the river Huveaum, from the bridge at Roque-
vaire, near Maneilles ; and, again, his' postilion was
killed by another accident, near Albertas, in the
i3ouches du Rhone.

FRENCH AND BELGIAN TARIFFS.
(From the Constitutionnel.)
The commercial negotiations between France and
Belgium have conic to a conclusion. It is the
ordOnnancc of June 26, which hastened, if not de-
termined, the eonclusion of the treaty between
the two countries. In virtue. of this convention,
the new tariff on linen threads and cloths is not
to be applied to Belgium, and :the old duty, of ten
to eleven per cent., is to be allowed to subsist on
this part of our frontier. This exception is of vast
importance to Belgium, for she supplies us with about
twelve or thirteen millions of linen cloths per
annum, and about three millions of linen threads. If
the tariff of June '26 was applied to the Belgian fron-
tier, this opening for their linen manufacture would
'cease to exist; and, therefore, it was to de-
mand, in return for this favour, some advantages for
the commerce and manufactures of France. Those
advantages apply to our wines, silks, and salts, to-
gether with an asFimilation of French vessels to
those of Belgium on the canals of that country.
The duties on French wines are of various
kinds. First of all, there is the customs duty
which amount to 2f. the hectolitre for wine in cask,
and 12f. for wine in bottle ; next, the excise duty,
which is 33f. the hectolitre; and lastly, the octroi
duties, which vary according to the population of the
towns into which the wine enters. According
to the treaty, the customs duty are to be
reduced for wines in cask to 50c..the hectlitore,and for
those in bottle to 2f. the hectolitre, and the excise duty
is to be only 241. 75c., giving a reduction of a
quarter. Silk forms our principal object of expor-
tation for Belgium, and represents an annual sum
of teven or eight !Thro on silk is to be
•
ledueedtWenty pe'r cent. AN ines exported from France
into Belgium only am9unt to about %tit millions

exception ,xepresents ail 7. annual value of about. 15.;
millions,. whilst the .Frenelartieles- on which 13e1-
glum bas reduced-tho tiotiespotily amount to about
12 millions a year., Arcr the navigation in, Bel-
glum, 'the treaty .does nothing, more than esta-
blish a reciprocity, seeing that her" Vessels have
for a long time enjdyed'lbe" seine advantages that
she has just granted' to oars. 'Rie application
of the. French tariff un linen andthrea cloths at

Belgium .. w of -.lolces.c,ity , pay a double duty;
which would be .equiyalont,to.tbat determined' on by
the ordonnance of June 26,•Taiid-therefore• there would
nut be any advantage in infrOdifeing EngliSli threads
and Cloths into France V:the 'road of Beigiuth., The
application of the n'tiv tatitVqtlie Belgian frontier
uotild assure a norCeflielent protection to the pro-
'ducts of this country pie English article. In
the treaty which We. f`Ori*ilymade. with Holland we
also obtained a reduction of duties on our wines; but
'in' that country, aS.VOll,,a,?`-, in Belgium, the duties on
consuMption_ are so exeeedinglphigh that the reduc •
turn could not be of much service to us, and any little
advantage we .might have.reaped from the agreement
. was completely annihilated shortly after, by an arrange-
ment which increased the excise duty on wines in the
same proportion that the customs diminished. To avoid
,any similar event in Belgium, it has been stipulated that
'lto tax can be authorised under penalty of immediately
ordering the tariff to be put in force. The treaty, of
which we have just given the heads, is not of ally
great commercial importance, but it is a good prece-
dent, which may serve as the basis of ulterior negotia-
tion. Belgium finds in France an immense market,
and, in order to increase it still more, it will be only
necessary for her to favour certain of our articles.
The duty on wines, notwithstanding the reduction
which has just been effected, is still too high to admit
of our hoping to behold a notable increase in their
consumption. The same observation applies to our
silks, and to certain fancy articles which the Belgians
fabricate but very imperfectly. It is only by their
favouring the entrance of those various products, that
we shall be able, in return,_ to receive a greater mass
of Belgian merchandise, and in this way give a fresh
impetus to the exchange of goods between the two
countries.

A few days since the Beer fishermen caught a
gigantic lobster, which they presented to Sir W. T. Pole,
who has forwarded it as a present to the Bev. Dr. Buck-
land, Professor of Geology at Oxford. The dimensions
of one of the claws was twelve inches in circumference,
and length of tip of tail, when extended to the extremity
of claw, thirty-five inches, 'and weighed ten pounds ten
ounces. The Learned Doctor, in acknowledging its safe
arrival, observed it was the finest specimen he had ever
seen, and that after its in:erior, which would affbrd a de-
licious repast, had been carefully removed, the shell
would be placed in the Oxford Museum. Somerset

ASSIZE INT EL i-kGEN CE.
ROMECIRCUIE.--leilles, July 22.
The Qommission for the county of Sussex was opened
on Thwesdayi-and this day (Friday-) the business of the
Assize commenced. There were about thirty prisoners
for trial, but the only serious case was a charge against
a youbg woman of murdering her illegitimate child,
Lord Abinger, in addressing the Grand Jury, alluded to
this cttse, and said, that from what he had heard, there
was reason to believe the prisoner was not in her right
mind, but the Grand Jury would not have to go into that
question, and if they found the facts proved they must
find a true bill. so that the case might be investigated
beffore a Petty Jury,
CROWN COURT.—Lewes, July 23.

- (Before Lord AmNom)
Herr'et Arthur, aged thirty, a goodtiooking yowl
woman,- but who evinced every indication of insanity in
her appearance, was indicted for the murder of her male
illegitimate child.
When the prisonel: was called upon to plead, she looked
wildly round the Court, and exclaimed " I did not do it."
Lord ABINGEB, inquired of the gaoler whether the pri-
soner understood what was said to her ?

The gaoler replied that he did not think she did.
Mr. Turner, the surgeon to the gaol, was then sworn,
and he stated that the prisoner had been under his charge
fur the last two months, and, in his opinion, she was in
a state of insanity, and that she WPS not in a condition
of mind to take her -trial.

The Jury having expressed their opinion that the pri-
soner was insane,

Lord ABINGER directed that Ihe should be kept in
safe custody.
CIVIL SIDE.
(Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN and a Special Jury.)
COLLIS V. NEWINGTON.

The plaintiff in this case had been appointed assignee
to the estate and effects of an insolvent debtor, named
French; and.this action was brought to recover from the
defendant a stun of 590/. which it was alleged the insol-
vent had paid to him by fraudulent preference over the
other creditors.

The cause involved a question of some importance.
It appeared that, on October, 1840, a person named
French; who carried on the business of a farmer,
ut Wadhurst, was in very embarassed circumstances ;
and, in fact, on the very brink of insolvency,
the . present plaintiff being one of his creditors;
to a very considerable amount. The defendant was
French's landlord, and he owed him the sum mentioned
in the declaration, and it would appear that writ was
sued out by him against French, who gave a cognovit
upon which judgment was entered up immediately, and
the whole of French's effects were swept off to satisfy this
claim, to the exclusion of the other creditors. It was
contended that French being, at the time he gave the
cognovit, in a state. of insolvency, the preference given to
the defendant was a fraudnlent one, and that he ought
to refund the money for the general benefit of the
creditors.

Mr. Justice COLT2I.IN said the principal question for
the jury was, w het her the giving up the property by the
insolvent was a voluntary act on his part, or whether it
was done under the presence of the legal proceedings
adopted by the defendant to recover his debt. It a cre-
ditur,.knowing the circumstances of his. debtor, adopted
proceedings against him, and, by that means, obtained
hiS delft, even though it might be to the exclusion of the
other creditors, he did not think that could be considered
as a fraudulent preference, which must entitle -the
assignee to recover the amount so paid. If, on the con.
trary, they considered the giving up his property was the
voluntary act or the insolvent, then it would be their
duty to find for the plaintiff.
The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a ver-
dict for the defendant.

HARVEY HILLMAN AND OTHERS.

This was an action to recover damages for an assault
committed by thg defendant upon the plaintiff.
The proceedings out of which this action arose were
conneetud with the Lae elections at Brighton and Lewes,
the parties being politically opposed to each other ; the
defendant espousing the Conservative interest, and the
plaintiff that of the Liberals. It appeared that on the
10th of May, at the time the Lewes Election petition
was disposed of, Mr. Hillman went into the Star Inn,
Lewes, and on seeing the plaintiff, he put his- hand on
his shoulders, dnd said, " Weil, you have got the cat's
paw on you." This led to some altercation, in the
midst of Which it was alleged that the plaintiff
was held by Mr. Hillman's sun, and his
brother-in-law, while he himself struck him on the face.
The landlord of the Star, who was the principal witness,
said in cross-examination, that before Mr. Hillman came
in, the plaintiff and several other- persons were talking
about politics, and that after the eat's paw was men-
tioned, they all snapped their fingers in each other's
faces, for the purpose, as he said, of showing their inde-
pendence. He also said, that he had told some one that
be thought Mr. Harvey was going to strike Mr. Hill-
mann, and that the other two defendants only interfered
to prevent violence from being committed, and that he
had likewise said they were a parcel of fools for bring-
ing the action ; and that, instead of giving the lawyers
the money, they had much better spend it at his house
over a good dinner-and a bottle of wine.

The Jury, after deliberating for a few minutes, re-
turned a verdict for the defendant.
While this cause was going on a fracas took place in
the Court between Mr. Collis, the attorney and plaintiff
in a previous cause, and Mr. Barclay. the attorney of
Mr. Newington, the defendant ; and, some o&nsive ex-
pression baring been made use of by the former, Mr.
Barclay struck him in the face and made his nose bleed.
Mr. Collis immediately applied to the Court. The as-
sault was committed directly under the special jury-box,
but, owing to thm number of persons who were standing
about, it escaped the observation of the Learned Judge,
and he inquired where the assault took place?
Mr. Cows—ln the Court, my Lord.
Mr.'justice COLTMAN then asked Mr. Barclay what
explanation he had to give for committing such an act of
violence-in a Court. of Justice.

• Mr. BARCLAY said he had been provoked to it by Mr.
Collis, who, being exceedingly excited in Consequence of
the verdict that had been delivered itgainst him, had in-
sulted him most grossly, and called him a-- liar. He
could not restrain his feelings at this unprovoked assault,
and he certainly committed the assault, but he now ex-
pressed his regret for it, and begged to apologize to his
Lordship for what he had done.
Mr. Justice COLTMAN said he had certainly received
great provocation, but such an act, in a Court of Justice,
could not be looked over, and he must for the present be
taken into custody.
Mr. Barclay was then removed from the Court in
charge of an officer.

POLIcE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Shortly after Sir Chapman Marshall had taken his
seat on the bench, an old woman, named Fitzgerald, ap-
peared for the purpose of obtaining sortie redress in
consequence of her basket of fruit being seized by the
City Police. Mr. Richard Taylor on Thursday made a
statement to Sir Peter Laurie, in reference to this affair,
which appeared in The Sun, on Friday,- and as it ap•
pears, gave great offence to the 'City Commissioner.
Mr. Harvey in consequence went to Guildhall on Satur-
day, and said, having seen a find statement in two of the
daily papers, made by Mr. Taylor before Sir Peter
Laurie, he was induced to attend to give a denial to that
statement.

Mr.,n4tryoy.—,lftoes- ;&if Peter Laurie attempt to stop

•
Sit,l?-I,,tuir—Yes, I do ; on these grounds, that it
is untair-to make ar statement in the absence of a person,
fur, the merepurpose of an ex parte one to go before the
public.- •
Mt. Harvey—You suffered Mr. Taylor_ to make an
ex parte statement, casting great calumny on my conduct,
anckFain determined to reply to it now.
Sir P. LAURIE—You must stop until Mr. Taylor is
present._
. .

Mr. Harvey said the report in the newspapers contain-
ing Mr. Taylor's statement, is.a. foul calumny on me as
the Commissioner of the police force ; and neither (turn-
ing to Sir Peter Laurie) shall you calumniate me, nor any
other person. _ . _ _

Sir LAURIE—It is you that calumniate by your
conduct.

Mr. Harvey —Do you mean to stop me ?
Sir P. LAURIE—I du.
Mr. Harvey—lt is you that calumniate ; for you al-
lowed Mr. Taylor to come here and attack me, and you
did the same in your, judicial capacity, which is most
disgraceful.
Sir P. LAURIE—Mr. Commissioner, I will not, as a
Magistrate of the city of London, allow any person to
make such an assertion in a public court.
Mr. Harvey—You cannot help yourself, for I have al-
ready made it.

Sir P. LAURIE-The police have not done their duty,
which is on account of the orders issued by the Com-
missioner, who is wholly unfit to hold such an office.
Mr. Harvey—What do yuu mean 'by such obser-
vations ?

Sir PETER LAURIE—I say that your conduct proves
your inefficiency to fulfil the duties of your office. Look
at the reports of the Court of Common Council on the
system of the police force, and the letters in their pos-
session,: that will confirm my assertion.

Mr. Harvey—l defy yoti to produce them. The
Court of Common Council has confirmed every step that
I have adopted.
Sir PETER. LAURIE—You are afraid to meet them.

. Mr. Harvey, turning round to the Alderman—That is
false, for lam not afraid to meet them, or you, any
where you like to say.
Sir C. MARSHALL attempted to interfere, and con-
sidered that the case had better not be entered into in
the absence of Sir Peter Laurie, who had retired.
Mr. Harvey said he felt bound to rebut the charges
which had been made against him, and he therefore
attended to-clay, •in the expectation of meeting Mr.
Taylor, who on Thursday attended before Sir Peter
Laurie to support the right of a woman of the name
of Fitzgerald, whom Mr. Taylor had thought proper
to state had been removed from Holborn by the
authority of the Chief Commissioner, who a day or
two before had issued an order to that effect. Now, so
far from this being true, the reverse was the case, fir
the order to remove those who sat with fruit in the
streets was of the date of the 2d of April. On that oc-
casion he had receivad a letter from Mr. Phillips, a fruit-
erer residing at Holborn-bars, complaining of the loss
which he sustained in his business by persons being al-
lowed to sell fruit before his door, and requesting that
the police should be ordered to remove the parties. He

they would be given into custody, but as the'r,
