FOREIGN.

The Duke de Montpensier left Paris on Thursday for
Algiers.
The Marquis Ferriere Levayer left Paris for Macao on Fri-
day. He was the bearer of the ratification of the treaty con-
cluded by M. de Lagreuee with the Chinese Plenipotentiary.
M. Levayer is to embark at Marseilles for Egypt, and to
proceed to Asia via Suez.
The Revue de Paris states that the Duke de Broglie was ex-
pected to return to Paris in the course of a week, fur the pur-
pose of consulting M. Guizot on certain points connected with
the object of his mission to London. He is to be absent during
ten or fifteen days.
In the Chamber of Deputies a Bill has been passed to pre--
vent the piracy of literary works published in Sardinia, in
pursuance of one of the provisions of the treaty of commerce
concluded in 1843 between Sardinia and France, and which
has recently been the topic of much cavil in the Chamber.
The Arai de la Constitution states that there are in Lucerne
1,602 prisoners in all, and that the number of wounded
volunteers there is 150. The dead have been buried-30 at
Malters, 40 at Litton], and 9at Lucerne. Several persons, it
is said, perished in the Emme. Amongst the prisoners are
180 Bernese, and 694 Argovians. No person whatever is
admitted to see the prisoners.
A Zurich journal estimates at 40,000 Swiss livres (59,000
francs) a day the expense of the army embodied by the
Federal Directory; a charge, it adds, which will fall heavily
upon the cantons, which have already been impoverished by
extraordinary expenditures of ever kind.
The troops of Schwyz and Zug, commanded by Colonel
Abyberg, had advanced to the frontiers of Argau, where they
remained in observation of the movements of the volunteers.
The Queen of Prussia arrived at Dresden on the evening
of the 4th, on a visit to her sister, the wife of Prince John.
It was expected that the King of Prussia would soon join
her Majesty.
An autograph letter of the Emperor of Austria to his
Minister forbids the name of German Catholic Church being
given either in the journals, or any printed writings, to the
body of Separatists which has been recently formed in
Germany.
The Journal des Debats inserts a letter from Berne of the
Bth inst., which states that the arrival of the federal troops
in the canton of Argovia, appears to have anticipated that
of a corps of Schwartzbuben, mountaineers of Soleure, who
intended, it is said, to excite the inhabitants to a revolt, and
afterwards to unite themselves to the army of Lucerne and
of the small cantons. The Argovian militia disorganised, in
consequence of the recruiting made by the free corps and of
the loss of their chiefs, killed or made prisoners at the attack
of Lucerne, were gradually repairing their losses, and might
in d few days be fit to occupy the country.
LAW IPOA.4Gar.
The case of Connell and Gandy, which was tried at Liver-
pool, is one of considerable importance to the commercial
world. It was an action brought by a depositor in the Isle
of Man Bank against the defendant, who was represented to
have been a shareholder in the bank at the time it stopped
payment. The bank was not formed under tke provisions of
any Act of Parliament. The defence was that the common
law of partnership did not apply to joint-stock companies,
and that Mr. Gandy having ceased to be a share-
holder in 1840, although the fact of his retirement
was not publicly gazetted, had ceased to be liable.
The jury, however, under the direction of the Judge, found
for the plaintiff. His Lordship, in the course of his summing
up, said that there was no legal difference between a firm of
six and one of 600 persons, and that the person who held
himself forth to the public a partner in such a firm was bound
to make the fact of his retirement public also, in order to re-
lease himself from his liability. There were several actions
of a similar nature in which a similar verdict was taken, and
these concluded the assizes.
COURT—FASHIONABLE.

The Duke de Broglie, accompanied by his Excellency
Count de St. Aulaire, had ailengthened interview with Sir
Robert Peel yesterday afternoon, at the Right Hon. Baronet's
residence, in Whitehall-gardens.
The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne entertained
the Duke de Broglie, Prince Albert de Broglie, the Earl of
Clarendon, Countess Flahault (Baroness Keith and Nairns),
the Earl and Countess of Shelburne, Count and Countess
Jarnac, Lord John Russell, and a distinguished circle, on Sa-
turday last, at Lansdowne House.
The Duke of Beaufort does not go to Newmarket, as was
anticipated. His Grace, with the Duchess of Beaufort and
the Ladies Somerset, will leave Badminton for Beaufort
House during the present week.
The Earl of Harrowby has improved in health during the
last few days.
The Earl of Ellenborough entertained the Earl of Clare,
Lord and Lady Colchester, Lord and Lady Colville, Sir
loughby Cotton, Colonel Monteith, Colonel Oldfield, and Mr.,
Mrs., and Miss Wilberforce Rird at dinner on Saturday last,
at his Lordship's mansion in Charles-street.
The Earl and Countess of Chesterfield have left Bretby
Park for Newmarket. The Noble Earl and Countess do not
return to Chesterfield House until after the second Newmar-
ket meeting.
The Earl and Countess of Albemarle left their residence in
Berkeley-square on Saturday last for Newmarket.
The Earl of Bradford has arrived in Belgrave-square from
Castle Bromwich, Staffordshire. Viscount and Viscountess
Newport have left the Noble Earl's residence and removed
to their new mansion in Wilton-crescent. The Noble Viscount
and Viscountess left town on Saturday for Newmarket.
Count Flahault may now shortly be expected in this
country, to join Countess Flahault and the Hon. Misses El-
phinstone Flahault, as, according to letters received from
Vienna, the Noble Count intended to have left that city on
the 3d instant for Paris, on his way to England. It is as-
serted that the Noble ount is not likely to return to Vienna
as French Ambassador at the Court of Austria, an important
appointment being destined for his Excellency Count Flahault
in the French capital. It is said he is to be appointed tutor
to the Count of Paris.

MISCELLANEOUS.
The mortal remains of the late Earl of Egremont were re-
moved on Wednesday last from Silverton-park to Orchard
Wyndham, preparatory to their interment in the family
vault. The funeral took place the next day ; a large body
of the deceased Earl's tenantry assisting on the mournful oc-
casion.
Yesterday, a sermon in aid of the funds of the City Dispen-
sary, which was established in the year 1789, for the relief of
the sick and diseased poor of the Metropolis, was preached in
the church of the united parishes of St. Mary-at-Hill and at.
Andrew Hubbard, Little Tower-street, by the Rev. James
Rowsall, M.A., domestic chaplain to the Duke of Suther-
land. After the sermon a collection was made which realised
201. ss.
Yesterday two sermons were preached in the chapel of the
Scottish Hospital, Fleur-de-Lis-court, Fetter-lane, before a
numerous congregation, the principal portion of whom were
both deaf and dumb. It may appear somewhat paradoxical
that persons so afflicted should be enabled to attend divine
worship in congregation with their more favoured brethren
who enjoy the faculties of hearing and speech. The ser-
vice, however, is rendered intelligible to the deaf and dumb
portion of the congregation by a gentleman who is well
conversant with the signs by which those so afflicted com-
municate together ; and as the clergymen proceeds with
his discourse, he, standing in a prominent situation facing
the afflicted, interprets it by those signs. These services
are established under the auspices of the Society for the re-
lief of the adult destitute portion of the deaf and dumb com-
munity.
Yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, a gentleman's
carriage was proceeding at a rapid pace in the direction of the
Haymarket, when near the corner of Windmill-street the
near fore wheel came off. From the quickness of the pace
and the sharp shock occasioned by the axle falling on the
ground, the coachman lost his seat, and was thrown with
great violence. The horses were at once seized by some
passers by, and the owner of the carriage and his lady
alighted, perfectly uninjured, but greatly alarmed. The
coachman was taken into Mr. Hutchinson's, a surgeon, who
paid him every attention, and after a short time he was so
far recovered that he returned home.
On Saturday morning the body of a middle-aged man was
found in the river Thames, off Plunistead, in Kent, and re-
moved to the workhouse to await an inquest. The same
afternoon another body, of a young man, was found in the
river off Battersea, and removed to the Red House to await
an inquest. Both bodies were much decomposed, and ap-
peared to have been in the water for some time.
The Glasgow, Paisley, and Ayr Railway, at a special meet-
ing on Wednesday, the 2d inst., determined upon extending
the Company's railway from Ayr to Loch Ryan, and of form-
ing certain other lines for the accomodation of the interior of
Ayrsh ire.

The Eastern Counties Company raise 710,4001. by shares to
pay off that amount in bonds and debentures which are out
in the market and shortly fall due. The alteration is calcu-
lated to save in interest about 7,0001. a-year ; and four per
cent. is to be paid upon the calls as they are made.

SPORTIN G INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.

Several horses have reached Newmarket for the ensuing
meeting, and appearances, if they do not promise a brilliant
week, are so far favourable, that most of the standing en-
gagements are likely to be run. The last arrivals include—
Lord Chesterfield's Knight of the Whistle, Poor Soldier,
Lady Wildair, Javelin, Triunion, and Newsmonger—Lord
Maidstone's Cockamaroo—Colonel Anson's Kedger and Je-
zail—Mr. Bowes's Heather Bell and As-you-like-
it—Mr. Jaques's Anti-Repealer and Semiseria—Lord
Stradbroke's Idas, Evenus, and Boarding-school Miss
—Mr. John Day's The Ugly Buck—Mr. Wreford's Win-
chelsea—Mr. Gardnor's Captain Flathooker—Mr. S.
llerbert's Antler and Ajax—Mr. Greville's Alarm—
Mr. Payne's Sir Francis, Johnny, and Queen Mab—Mr.
Ford's Fuzbos, The Attorney, Mademoiselle, and Qui Tam—
Mr. Stebbing's Celeste—Mr. Batson's Homoeopathist, Accacia
filly, and Harriet filly—Mr. Drinkald's Vol-a-Vent—Sir
W. W. Wynn's Poor Boy, The Soldier, and Rowland—Mr.
Ramsbottom's Pine Apple—Mr. Shelly's Lydia Languish—
Lord G. Bentinck's Ratafia, Discord, All-round-my-Hat,
Croton Oil, and My Mary. The principal races of the week
will be the two Riddlesworth's (mere shadows, and not likely
to produce more than a couple of starters), the stakes in
which Kedger and Idas are engaged (apparent " cer-
tainties"), the Column Stakes, and Newmarket Handicap,
for both of which there will be a good field, the Claret,
Port, and the match' between the Ugly Buck and
Minotaur. The Newmarket llandicup, a new race sug-
gested by the inhabitants, does not boast so large
an acceptance as had been anticipated ; but " Rome
was not built in a day," and its promoters need not be dis-
couraged from fresh exertions—let them be liberal in their
contributions to the fund, and not be above canvassing for
Subscribers to the Stake ; and there can be no reason why it
should not become a prominent " feature" in a meeting that
has of late years somewhat fallen from its " high estate."—
In the course of the week, it is expected that a
conference will take place between the Jockey
club and a committee of the inhabitants with regard to the
proposed continuation of the Eastern Counties line from
Cambridge to Bury. Several members, believing that a rail-
road close to the town would interfere with the respectability
of the meetings, have expressed a favourable opinion of the
contemplated Direct London and Norwich, which will not
come within eight or ten miles of Newmarket; the towns-
people, however, are almost unanimously for the line to Bury,
and intend to use every effort to obtain the sanction and sup-
port of the Club. A question as to the correctness of Zanoni's
nomination for the Chester Cup, arising out of an objection
preferred by Colonel Peel, is also expected to come on in the
course of the meeting.
