FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Journal des _Debate of Oct. 27.)
• CORFU, OCT. B.—An armistice of 92 days has
been concluded between Ibrahim and the Greek Go-
vernment, and guaranteed by the Commanders of the
French and English squadrons cruising off Navarino.
Two Russian brigs- are the only vessels of that na-
tion now before this port. It is said that they have
on board the Russian Councillor Alascary, by birth
a Greele, who appears in quality of diplomatic agent
of the Russian fleet. An English (eater has brought
to the Lord High Commissioner despatches from
Admiral Codrington, on the receipt of which a cou-
rier was immediately despatched for London. They
are probably relative to the armistice.—Gazette of
Awsburgh. -
VIENNA, Our. 16.—The news froM Constanti-
nople, in the Austrian Observer, add to what we
have already reported, that the Kiaja Bey (Minister
of the Interior) has received the Patriarch with nll
the marks of consideratinu due to a superior autho-
rity. Here follows the answer put into the mouth
of the Minister :—" That a party among the people
has rendered itself highly culpabli towards the
Porte ; that the blood of women, children, and old
people slaughtered, cries for vengeance against the
revolted; hut that at all times the principle of
the Sublime Porte has been to pardon rebel sub-
jects when they, repent and submit ; that even
on this occasion the Porte, faithful to its prin-
ciples, feels with pleasure the return of the wayward
Greeks, and would throw over the past the veil of
indulgence and oblivion. •In order to display this
indulgence in its fullest light, and in the hope of en-
couraging the rest of the rebels to a step which an
ill-founded fear or the seductions of the ill-inten-
tioned might alone hinder them from taking, orders
shall be immediately given to set at liberty all the
Bishops detained as hostages.
PARIS, OCT. 26.—1 n the affair of the Journal du
Commerce, accused of contravention of the censor-
ship, M. Levavasseur, King's Advocate, having
shown that the responsible editor had inserted in
the number of the.lsth of September, an article not
previously_ subjected to the censor, required the pe-
nalties of fine and imprisonment fixed by the law.
"M. Barthe replied, that the article was almost
word for word the same as one in the Gazette- de
France of .the same day, relative to the affairs of
Spain, which had necessarily undergone censure.
The tribunal, after.a short deliberation, pronounced
judgment that, seeing the article inculpated had been
submitted to the censure, and therefore that Michael
Cardon, editor of the Journal du Commerce, had
not been culpable of the offence provided for by the
laws of 1820 and 1892, the complaint is dismissed.
(From the Constitutionnel, Oct. 27.)
BUCHAREST, OCT. 3.—There has arrived here a
Russian estafette, who was detained a few hours at
the Consul's office, and then continued his route for
Constantinople. According to our intelligence from
Jassy, where there are frequent communications
with the Russian frontiers, the army of the south is
concentrated upon a superficiesf of 50 square miles,
and divided into three corps. This army, com-
manded in chief by General Wittgenstein, is com-
posed of 74,000 infantry, 12 regiments of cavalry,
(4 of.dragoons, 4' of hussars, 2 of chasseura, and 2
of Milani) arid'6 pales of Cossacks, forming a total
of 84,000 men. General Sabaniew, who commands
the right wing, has his -head-gunners at Beby ; Ge-
neral Krenv, WhO commands the left, at Labussna ;
and the -General-in-Chief Kischenew. The
corps of General Sabaniew is in communication
with the left wing of the army of Count Sac-
ken, by a chain of posts, which may he called
horse telegraphs. This wing is under the orders of
General Roth, and the army of Count Sacken
amounts to 250,000 men, posted en echelon as tar
as Mohilow, where General Suiten has his head-
quarters.
BARCELONA, OCT. 17.—0 n the 13th instant Bel-
leiter was beaten at Santa Colona de Fames by
Colonel Base, who had marched out from Gerona
on the 10th at the head of his regiment, as soon as
the rebels raised. the siege of the place. Ballester
bad 50 men killed and several wounded; he eivo
lost some prisoners, a few horses, several mules,
two charges of munitions, and a little tieldspiece;
his hat and uniform have also fallen into the hands
of the conquerors.
The famous Duke de Berge, Bosoms, the first
who raised the standard of rebellion' in Upper Ca-
talonia, finding himself shut in, in the defiles of
Rippol and Camperdon, decided to send back a part
of his troop. The officers compromised entered
France by Prats de Mollo; the peafiants entered
with them : himself, with 2,000 soldiers, deter-
mined to do every thing and undertake every thing,
has effected his retreat or flight by the valley of
Ribes and the hill of Poses ' • he had to traverse the
Spanish Cerdagne and La Segal, and to repair to
La Conque de .Tremp, his natal country, where he
hopes to have the means of maintaining himself.
Continual rains, and the overflow of the rivers, will
have, without doubt, detained the Count d'Espagne
in his march nnd operations; but for this, we count
upon hearing of the entire dispersion of the rebels,
upon their submission.
(From the Gazette de France dated Sunday, Oct. 28.)
PARIS, OCT. 27.—Letters from Toulouse, dated
the "s'2d of October, say that since the entrance of
the Count d'Espagne into Gerona, which took place
on the 4th of this month, the communications with
Barcelona and the Sen. d'Urgel are perfectly free.
The rebel chief Casten, who has made his sub-
mission, has received orders from the Governor of
figueiras to attack'the insurgents himself. On the
17th he commenced hostilities against them, and
took some prisoners.
The Phare says— Our merchants will learn with
pleasure that the Government seems resolved to put
a atop to the depredations of the pirates, and to
finish with Algiers. We hear that the squadrons
are to be reinforced, in order more effectually to pro-
tect the merchantmen that navigate those seas. It
,elso stated that the Marshal Duke of R— is
appoie`ed Commander-in-Chief of the troops that
will be led" at Algiers, the number of which is
said to be 10,000 men. Our merchants will recog-
nize in these melsaires the paternal solicitude of the
Sovereign.

(From the Quotidionne.)
PARIS, OCT. 2G.—His Majesty arrived yesterday,
a little after 12'o'clock, on the plain of hey, and
immediately after mounted his horse, accompanied
by the Dauphin. He passed in front of the different
Fnes of infantry, cavalry, and artillery. The
Dauphiness and her Royal Highness Madame also
passed through the lines in- an open carriage. The
troops assembled consisted of 20 battalions of
infantry,
12 squadrons of ..c.avalry, and six batteries
(three of them horse) artillery.
The infantry was in two lines; the first was corn.
posed of 10 battalions of the regiments of the guards,
commanded by Lieutenant-General Count de Bour-
monte : the second was formed of the Bth regiment
of the guard, the 18th, 21st, and 27th of the line,
and the 14th light infantry, commanded by Lieut.-
thirieral Count Coutard.
There were altogether 36 pieces of artillery, 12 of
Nvhich were howitzers. The whole force was from
11,000 to 12,000 men.
After the King's inspection, the Marechal Duc
De Ragusa commanded the manoeuvres, and the
sham-fight commenced. One of the corps was supposed
to be attacked by a column of the enemy's cavalry.
720 prevent being flanked, it rested itself upon the
houses of Javelle and the park of the Duke of Treviso,
and presented its front to the assailants, who were
repulsed by a well sustained fire, and by the artil-
lery. All the manoeuvres were executed with as
.much celerity as intelligence, and to the satisfaction
of his Majesty, which he had pleasure in testifying
loudly to the Marshal and the Generals.
The different corps defiled before his Majesty and
their Royal Highnesses. The Gendarmerie d'Elite,
and that of Paris, were also admitted to defile before
the Royal Party.
All would have passed without an accident, if a

LONDON,
TITESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30, 1827.

We received last night the Paris Papers of
Saturday, and the Gazette de France dated
Sunday morning. Although we find in them
some communications from private letters and
from, the German Papers, relative to the affairs of
-the East, they do not furnish us with any fresh
intelligence of importance on that subject. An
article in the Constitutionnel from Bucharest,
under date of the 3d inst., states that the Russian
Army of the South had been concentrated and
divided into three corps, consisting together of
74,000 infantry, twelve regiments of cavalry, and
six pulks of Cossacks, forming a total of 84,000
men, under General WITTGENSTEIN. The
right wing is in communication with the grand
army under Count SACKEN, which amounts to
250,000, posted en chellon, as far as Mohilow.
The accounts from Spain still describe suc-
cesses over the Rebels, but the very fact of these
continual conflicts chews that the insurrection
has not been so generally suppressed as the earlier
accounts led us to believe.

The Gazette de France copies an article from
the Pkare, which, if true, shews that France is
at last going to act with vigour against the
Algerines. It states that the squadrons employed
in the blockade are to be reinforced, and that the
Marshal Duke of R- is appointed to the
command of au army of 10,000 men, which is
to be landed at Algiers. France at present has
gained neither advantage nor honour in the war
with these barbarians, and we very much question
whether she will acquire either by landing an
army on the territories of the Dny.
Extracts of these Papers are given in another
column, and we subjoin the price of the Funds
in Paris on Saturday.

The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 23d instant,'
also reached us last night. It contains intel-
ligence from Constantinople, to the 2d (not the
20th instant, as stated in some of the Morning
Papers), which states that the Porte appears
to become more compliant. This does not
seem however, to be borne out by the farts
mentioned ; namely, that in every official com-
munication, the SULTAN declares that he will
hear nothing of the Greek question, and that he
carries on his defensive operations, especially,
towards the Russian frontiers, with the utmost

activity.
An article contained in this Paper, from the
Avstrian Observer, dated Vienna, October 18,
very coolly admits the fact, that Austrian trans-
ports are co-operating with the Egyptian fleet.
This spews that the Government of Austria is

ready to avow its opposition to the measures of
the Allied Powers in the East. The following

are extracts :

BuellAllan, OCT. s.—According to merchants' letters
from Constantinople, of the 30th September, every piece
of intelligence from the Archipelago is looked for with
anxiety. The last note of their Ambassadors, dated the
31st of August, seemed to make the Porte very uneasy,
and the declaration contained in it,—that the Porte not
accepting the proposed armistice and the intervention, the
three Powers would employ all means to separate the con-
tending parties, and to effect an armistice de facto,—gives
it the more reason to anticipate an unfavourable result of
its military operations, as Ibrahim Paella, who is alone able
to act with effect in the field, has shown, since the taking
of Missolonghi, a degree of lukewarmness, which, under
the circumstances, would have drawn on him the dis-
pleasure of the Sultan ; and now gives cause to apprehend
that he will disappoint the great hopes that are founded on
his operations, and really bring about an armistice by his
want of energy. The latter has therefore ordered that the
army of Redschid Paella shall be reinforced as speedily as
possible, and that he shall resume offensive operations
without delay. But perhaps before the reinforcements
arrive, and the Seraskier can commence his operations, the
fate of Greece may already be decided.
(iv EXPRESS.)
_ _

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 2.—The Porte seems to lose
its self confidence, and to become more compliant ; though
it still endeavours to show no signs of fear, it is to be re-
marked, that while it affirms that it has the most fat affable
news from the Mores, and in every official communication
declares that it will hear nothing about the Greek question,
the chief Dragoman of the Porte has, however, almost

daily conferences with the Dragomans of France and &g-
-land ; and the two latter have lately had a conference with
the Reie Effendi, who is not wholly recovered from his in-
disposition. However .hard it may be for the Porte to agree
to an arrangement, the sight of a formidable army in Bes-
sarabia may, perhaps, induce it to do so ; and it seems
not impossible that the representations of Count Guille-
minot and Mr. Canning may at length be attended to.
The Porte, however, carries on its defensive preparations
with activity, especially toward the Russian frontiers ; so
that if there were not good reason to doubt of such an in-
tention, it must be presumed that the Porte itself designed
to bring about a war.

According to accounts worthy of credit, all preparations
are made in Bessarabia to be able to enter the principalities
at the first order, and to remove the theatre of war to the
Danube. Preparations are making also at Ismael.
Two companies of Pontoneers, one company of Miners,
and two regiments of Light Infantry, belonging to the corps
of general Kreaz_have arrived in that fortress.

TatxsTE, Ocr. 16.—The latest accounts from the
lonian Islands show that the convention of the 6th of July
is not a mere illusion, and the Greeks, as usual, indulge in
the most extravagant hopes. We are curious to see what
effect the determined interference of the English and French
Admirals will make on the Divan. We learn that the
Russian Counsellor Vlawsopulo, who is already on his way
to Corfu, is appointed Russian Consul to the Greek Central
Government at Egina, conformably to the convention of
July 6. _ _

VIENNA, OCT. 18.—The Austrian Observer says—
" The Moniteur affirms that the transports with the
Egyptian fleet are almost all Austrian. We have already
stated that they were 41 in number, and that five of them
were European ships. We do not think it imposilble that
some of them may be Austrian." •

We likewise received last night by the General
Steam Navigation Company's vessel, the Sir
Edward Banks, Hamburgh Papers to the 27th
instant. They mention the arrival at Copen-
hagen on the 20th, of Major WILLOCK, the
British Envoy to the Court of Persia, in his way
to St. Petersburgh. The following is the only
paragraph relative to the affairs of the East:—

HAMBUILGII, OCT. 26.—0 n the 20th of this month
news from Constantinople, dated the Ist, was received at
Vienna, according to which the hopes of an amicable ar-
rangement with the Porte still continued. The prices of
corn had risen considerably in consequence.

Letters to the 11th of September have been
received from Port-au-Prince, announcing the
recovery of the President BOY ER. The season
continued very sickly.

A file of Washington Papers, to the sth inst.
inclusive, have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house, from which we
make the following extracts :

The Spanish Minister, M. de Facon, had arrived in that
city on the Tuesday preceding. Thos. Lancaster was about
to open a school upon his system in Trenton, N. I.
The books which had been opened in Washington to receive
subscriptions to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal are to re-
main open, according to the charter of the Company, 40
dais. The sum required to secure the execution of the
eastern sectio of the canal is 3 millions of dollars ; the sulk
already subscribed in Washington and Georgetown amounted
to 1,491,300 dollars. From the communications made,
this speculation seems to be a favourite one with
our American friends, and considered as tending to give
great facility and benefit to the mercantile interests.

The private accounts from every part of the
Continent mention, without reserve, the known
feelings of the Court of Vienna on the subject of
the intervention of the other three Great Powers
in the affairs of Turkey and Greece, and the
Austrian Observer begins to get over the
silence which it)?as hitherto maintained on this
topic. A short ti;o9 only will (it is said) elapse
before Austria will publicly avow her opposition
to the policy which has been adopted by the
other Powers, and publish to the world her ob-
jections to it in the usual form of a Manifesto.

In the mean time, that which probably forms
the chief objection on the part of Austria to the
interference ofthe Allied Powers begins to manifest
itself—namely, the ambitious object which Russia
has in view. On this subject we have never
entertained any doubt, and have, without hesita-
tion, expressed our apprehensions. The private
letters received 3esterday tend to confirm the
opinion we have so steadily held on this subject.
They state in the most confident manner that in
consequence of certain circumstances which have
transpired at Constantinople, it has become
obvious that Russia was seeking the extension
of her own, territory, rather than the pacification
of Greece ; and that while the British Ambas-
sador was manfully, and in a straight-forward man-
ner, using his strenuous exertions to induce the
Porte to consent to the measures proposed

by the Allies for the preservation of general
peace, the Russian Ambassador was using
secret means to urge the Porte to a line of con-
duct which would ultimately justify the invasion
of the Ottoman Empire by the Russian army.
This duplicity of conduct had been noticed by
the British Ambassador, and the discussions to
which it had given rise are said to have produced
a complete schism between him and the Ambas-
sador from Russia. The private letters which
we have seen mention these facts only, ana we
must wait the next arrivals for an account of the

consequences of the differences between the Ple-
nipotentiaries of the two Powers. We, however,
repeat our prediction, that Russia will never
abandon her object, and will never lose any
favourable opportunity which may arise of attain-
ing it—even, if in so doing, she incurs the
jealousy or even the hostility of Great Britain.
Another version of the origin of the differ-
ences which are said to have arisen between the
British and Russian Ambassadors at Constan-
tinople, is given by some of the letters from that
Capital.

It is stated that the Russian Ambassador
finding that the Porte wished to procrastinate
the negociations, became very anxious for the
Allied Ambassadors to take their departure
immediately. rivlr. STRATFORD CANNING, on
the contrary, said that as he found the PORTE
he did nut think
Still inclined to avoid a rupture,

it prudent to leave the Turkish Capital in so
abrupt a manner, and was determined to wait.
This offended the Russian Minister, and both
parties became heated, and sent despatches on
the subject to their respective Courts.

TIM FUNDS-(TEIIS DAY).

CITY, TWELVE o'CLocr.

The apparent uncertainty which at present 'attends
our political relations with Turkey, has caused the
dealers in the British Funds to act with more than
common caution. Consols opened at 87i for Account,
and went back to 87i for a moment, but have since
been alternately buyers and sellers at 87,1, and may
fairly be quoted sellers at the present time, looking
rather sickly. The Commissioners were supplied at
87i; India Bonds remain at 97 9; and Exchequer
Bills, 62 63 pm.

The Foreign Funds, particularly Mexican Bonds,
have been rather heavy this morning, and have de-
clined to 534 4; Brazilian are 614 2, and Buenos
Ayres, which sympathise with the former, 50 2.
—A general opinion is daily gaining strength,
that the two Governments are likely to come
to such terms as may be favourable to the con-
clusion of peace. To attain this desirable end
it is confidently stated the Emperor Don Pedro has
so far abated his pretensions as to be willing to let
the Banda Oriental, and Monte Video, which are
the bone of contention, form either a new State,
or at least to remain under the protection of some

other power.
In Shares the Tlalpuxahua Mines are at a higher
rate of discount, being quoted at 90 70.
The next arrivals from Constantinople are looked
for with the utmost anxiety ; in the mean time the
Russians seem to be preparing for the worst, and
four brigs, of war sailed from Portsmouth yesterday
for the Mediterranean.

LIVERPOOL, OCT. 28.—We are this week-
to have an Italian Opera, the company consisting of Miss
Fanny Ayton, Terri, De Angelli, Giubilliu, Madame De
Angelli, Signer Rubbi, De Beguis ; Mori, as leader, and
piano forte, Gahussi. The opera to open the first night
is the " Barber of Seville." The Countess of St. An-
tonio has taken up her residence for the week at the
Adelphi Hotel, as well as several of the first families in the
county, who are in high expectation of a musical treat.

WINDSOR, OCT. 27.—There is now to be
seen growing in the gardens at Cooper's-hill,
Englefield-green, the seat of the late Lord Lang-
ford, a plant of the Great American Gourd, hav-
ing produced three fruit of the enormous weight
of two hundred and fifty-four pounds.
The present female fashions in Paris are be-
coming perfectly hideous ; they are nearly those
which the French themselves ridiculed some
years ago as outré and extravagant in our Eng-
lish ladies.

A Gentleman accosted a Lady in the street
with, "My ,dear Mary, I have been at your
house ; I have placed my life in your hands."—
"Good God ! you amaze me ; what has hap-
pened : speak," answered the lady. " Only, my
dear, having written and published my Memoirs,'
I have left a copy for your acceptance," replied
the Gentleman.

At a Vestry Meeting at Boston (Lincoln-
shire), the 11th instant, to pass the Overseers'
accounts, it was stated that the peer rate in that
town, for the year ending in April last, exceeded
one-fifth of the preceding year, or about 1,0001.
The accounts for the present year are said not
to wear a more favourable aspect.
At Bacup, a few days ago, a man called at a
shop at the moment that a boy had taken from
a wire trap a living mouse, to whose tail he tied
a string, and was amusing himself by letting
poor nius run terrified upon the counter. The
shopkeeper, as we understand, making some ob-
servations on the absence of his cat, the cus-
tomer said, every man ought to be his own
mouse-catcher. This begot a conversation,
when he said lie could himself worry a mouse, and
for a penny would undertake to worry the one
then fearfully running upon the counter. A
penny was laid down, in acceptance of the prof-
ferred assistance ; the man put his hand behind
his own back, and made an attack upon poor
mousey, who might as well have fallen into the
fangs of the largest tom-cat in the hundred of
Blackburn, for in a few minutes he was crushed
to atoms between the merciless jaws of the deli-
cate rival of the purring hunters ; and he was so
delighted with his own prowess, that he has of-
fered to worry a living rat, or even a cat, for a
trifling remuneration..,._Rochdale Recorder.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.

The LORD CHANCELLOR sat to-day at a quarter
to twelve o'clock. It was understood that he would
only sit for the purpose of giving judgments, and
ten cases were set down, which were thus disposed
of by his Lordship, who read over the judgments,
which he bad previously written down.
The Bar was pretty fully attended, and the Coun-
sel looked refreshed and well.

IVFSEY V. LIVESEY.

This came before his Lordship in the shape of an
appeal from the judgment of the late Sir Thomas
Plomer, and the question related to the construction
of the will of a Mr. Thos. Worthing. It was whether
a Mr. Edward Worthing had been rightly paid
by trustees, 2001. a-year before his majority, out
of half the fortune of Miss Eliza Worthing, and before
her death. The Court was of opinion that the
money had been wrongly paid; that the Court had
a right and jurisdiction to enable it to call for the re-
payment of that money ; aad that the Master had
done right in making such an order. The conse-
quence was, the dismissal of the appeal against the
late Master's decree, with costs.

BARTLETT V. GILLARD.

His LORDSHIP stated,that in this case the testatrix
died in 1793, and a bill was filed by the plaintiff,
calling upon the Court to order the payment of the
arrear of an annuity of 12/. a year, from 1793 to
1817, since, which period the annuity has been paid.
Upon carefully looking into the affidavits, &c. and
particularly from a letter written by the plaintiff in
1816, it appeared to the Court, that at that time,
namely, 1816, no arrear was due ; the result, there-
fore, was, the dismissal of the bill with costs.

SIJEWELT, V. JONES.

His LORDSHIP did not think he would have been
justified in complying with the petition presented
in this case, praying for further enquiry into
the circumstances connected with it, and conse-
quently he dismissed it with costs.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. MAYOR OF EXETER.

His LORDSHIP was of opinion that the Vice-
Chancellor's decree in this case was right, namely,
that the defendants were not authorised to apply the
rents and profits of the charity as they had done in
the defraying of certain fee-farm rents and imposi-
tions, &c. He affirmed the decree. A question
now remains ' to be discussed on a future day,
namely, what the estates are the corporation are
to be charged with in accounting.

COOL V. COLLINILIDGE.

His LORDSHIP confirmed the Master's report in this
case, that it will be for the advantage of all parties
that lots five and six of the coachmaking concern,
in Liquorpond-street, should be sold by public

the Master, that the other messuages belonging to
the concern, should be sold in the separate lots as
reported.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
Sittings at Westminster before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE
and Common Juries.
DECKLE V.

This was as action of assault and false impri
sonment.

Mr. WEIGHTMAN stated the case. The plaintiff
was a carpenter residing near Hyde Park-corner,
and the defendant was of a profession not likely to
lead him into disputes. He was nothing more nor
less than a tailor. The parties had been the
greatest friends in the world, until within a
recent period, when some difference on pecuniary
matters having arisen between them, an aetion
was brought by one for the balance of an account,
and the cross-action was instituted by the other.
The whole case was referred to Mr. Chitty, but the
defendant refused to abide by that Learned Gentle-
man's award. Out of this dispute had arisen one
bankruptcy, an assault, a false imprisonment, and
also the present proceedings. For the defendant
had since become a bankrupt, and in the course of
September the parties met at the Highbury Arms,
Islington, where the defendant violently assaulted
the plaintiff, by striking him with a pint-pot. Some
exasperating language had previously passed 'be-
tween them, when the defendant among other things
charged Mr. Chitty with having made two false
awards.—(A laugh.)—The defendant not con-
tent with being. the aggressor, actually preferred an
indictment against the plaintiff, as if l►e were him-
self the injured party, and on the night of the 14th
September, he caused the plaintiff to be taken into
custody, and committed to Spa-fields watch-house,
where he was detained until eleven o'clock next,
morning. • The Learned Counsel would prove these
facts, and leave it to the Jury to say what compen-
sation his client was entitled to for such very gross
and unprovoked injuries.
Several witnesses all agreed in saying that the
plaintiff had, in the first instance, applied very abu-
sive epithets to the defendant; and some said that
he had commenced the conversation in the most
unconciliating form, namely, by a demand for money.
The watchhouse-keeper proved that the plaintiff had
been committed to his custody in the manner stated.
Mr. THEssioutt, for the defendant, admitted that
the plaintiff would be entitled to steal a verdict on
one count, that for false imprisonment, to which the
defendant had not pleaded a justification.
The defendant's witnesses went still further in
fixing the plaintiff with the use of the most abusive
language.

Lord TENTERDEN—WouId not the better course
be to withdraw a juror, so as to give a triumph to
neither party ?
This arrangement was assented to.
Lord TENTERDRN expressed himself in terms of
high approbation of the manner in which two such
young members of the bar had conducted the cause :
there was nothing left undone for their clients, yet
they had contrived to protect their interest without
unnecessarily wasting the public time.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.

BOW-STREET.

An application was made by one of the clerks of Ilfessrs.
Pickford and Co., carriers, to Sir Klemm? Biamm,
without proper inquiry,
whereby it appeared that an errand-boy, belonging to their
office, had taken away a quantity of their accounts, and
sold them for waste paper to different cheesernongers.
Sir RICNARD Blame having looked over the aecounee
of such importance, and
produced, deprecated the shameful conduct of tradesmen,
ofs who,so late frompurchase
a as a
waste
date.rnere would,pcaHhP;rdioancsrd urn considered that the parties exposed
themselves to a criminal proceeding, as no excuse what-
ever could possibly be made for so glaring a transaction.
Bishop, the officer, was sent with the clerk, and the boy
who sold the paper, to the different places where he had
disposed of it, and the clerk undertook that the boy should
be forthcoming, in ease it should be necessary to prosecute
, the parties.

On Sunday two Roman Catholics, a man and
a woman, read their recantations in the Somers-
town chapel, Seymour-street.
M. Arago recently announced to the French
Academy of Sciences, that M. Despretz had
discovered, experimentally, that heat was cooled
during the compression of water by a force equal
to twenty atmospheres. We saw some experi-
ments by Mr. Perkins, which exhibited this phe-
nomenon of the disengagement of heat both from
fluids and gases more than twelve months since.

GETTING SOBER.—A man in Norridge-
wock, Maine, applied to a Magistrate lately, for
permission to be put in jail for a few days. He
said he had been tipsy for two or three weeks,
and should be so for a long time to come, if he
was not prevented. The Justice introduced
him to the jailor, who locked him up on Satur-
day ; and on Tuesday he came oat a very sober
looking roan.—American Paper.
