The French Opposition Journals make a great outcry about
the refusal of the Minister of the Interior to authorise the an-
nual meeting of the Anti-Slavery Society, to take place on
the Bth inst., as announced since the sth of January last. The
Temps and the Univers explain that the meeting is not for-
bidden, but only postponed ; and that the Duke de Broglie was
to hold a private sitting of the Society to determine the period
at which the annual meeting should take place.
The Moniteur Parisien contains the following : La
Presse, in recapitulating the different reports of a Spanish con-
spiracy, which have been spoken of for some time, adds, We
can confidently assert, that not only papers, but printed pam-
phlets' were seized at Father Casares's residence, and after his
arrest he was expelled the French territory.'"
The Barcelona journals have reached us down to the 28th ult.
The disturban-es continued until the night of the 2icl, but,
thanks to the atonal Guards, who remained constantly under
arms, and to the zeal and energy displayed by the authorities,
they terminated without further bloodshed.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY).
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. HERON.
This was an information filed on behalf of a charity,
which had been founded about a century ago by Lady
Thorold. That lady had been possessed of a consi-
derable estate in Lincolnshire which she devised to
certain trustees upon trust for the support of a num-
ber of schoolmasters. All the trustees had died, and no new
ones having been appointed, it appeared that the guardians of
the present Sir John Thorold, who was a minor, supposed
they had a right to appoint trustees of the charity,
Those trustees made certain payments for the benefit of the
schoolmasters, and considered the re:t of the property as be-
longing to the family of the Thorolds. 'lbis appointment
of trustees was invalid, and the present application was to ob-
tain a reference to the Master to have an account against the
trustees of what they had received, and to have new trustees
appointed.

THE WATERLOO PURSE.

ill.. PEMBERTON appeared on behalf of the charity.
Mr. 'WHITE, who appeared for the defendants, stated that the
present Sir John Thorold had attained his majority, and could
of course appoint trustees of himself.
Lord LANGDALE decreed a reference to the Master, ac-
cording to the prayer of the bill, with liberty to Sir J. Tho-
rold to re-appoint, with the approbaion of the Master, the
same persons, or any others, as trustees.

(Before Vice-Chancellor W 'GRAM.)
BULTEEL V. LORD ARID/GER.
In this case Counsel addressed the Court yesterday for Sir
Edmund and Mr. Benjamin Currie.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, on behalf of the defendant, said
the suit had been instituted without any expectation of ob-
taining a decree for specific performance. Its real object had
been to force Lord Abinger to sign the contract by the threat of
a suit, and by the insinuation of partial conduct towards his son.
He contended that the letter of the 23d of July did not convey
authority to sell to Mr. Bulteel ; it merely stated that "consider-
ing my connexion with the proposed purchaser ( Mr.B. Scarlett),
so far as he is concerned, I shall take no steps to assist
him in the purchase." The contemporaneous letters supported
that view. The contract of the 30th of July was repudiated by
Lord Abinger, before it was signed by the two other trustees;
and Mr. Bulteel being ewer: of that fact, ought to bear the costs
of the suit.
Mr. SIMPKINsoN and Mr. ELMSEEY were heard this morn-
ing on the same side.
Sir T. WILDE then rose to reply, and the Learned Counsel
was proceeding with his reply when we went to press.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT
James Linchbury, descrilltd as a banker's clerk, was in-
dicted for stealing a 101. bank note, the property of Messrs.
Hanbury and Co., Lombard.street, bankers, his employers.
It appeared that the prisoner had been employed as a clerk
in the banking-house of Messrs. Hanbury and Co., for upwards
of twenty years, and his father had been in the same house
before him. The case was one of an extremely intri-
cate and tedious nature. It was the duty of the prisoner
to enter all cheques paid into the bank in a book,
called the Goldsmiths' receivable book. On the 2d of
February last, the books were valued up, and it was found
that there was a deficiency in the account• of the prisoner.
Two clerks in the office examined carefully the books, and
As Idle they were doing so, the prisoner went to his desk and re-
turned with a 301. note, observing that. he had, by mistake,
placed the note in the desk. Some few days afterwards he was
interrogated by two of the partners in the firth, when he ad-
mitted having taken a 101. note. It appeared that the conduct
of the prisoner, who had been for a eonsiderkble period involved
in debt, had caused some uneasiness to the firm on several oc-
casions, and his employers bad most kindly relieved him from
his embarrassments. Although the indictment charged the
prisoner with stealing 101. only, yet as much as 1401. had been
missed on the day the discoviry of the robbery was made.
Mr. PHILLIPS, who defended the prisoner, complained at
the conclusion of the case that new evidence had beets brought
forward against the prisoner, which did not appear in the depo-
sitions ; consequently, he (Mr. Phillips) was not in a positi..in
to go so fully into the defence of the prisoner as he otherwise
should have been. He concluded by calling a number of wit-
nesses, who bore testimony to the good character of the prisoner.
The Learned RECORDER having summed up the evidence,
the Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of guilty,
but accompanying the verdict with a recommendation to
mercy, on the ground that that the prisoner had not had the
full advantage of a defence by his Counsel.
The PECORDEA then addressed the prisoner, and said it was
extremely painful for the Court to pass sentecce upon a person
who had hitherto borne so good a character, and who had
been for many years in the employment and confidence of one
of the first banking establishments in the City. But still for
the sake of the public interest it was necessary to pass a severe
sentence upon the prisoner, although that sentence should not
be to the full extent of the law. The Jury had recommended
the prisoner to mercy, and the Court was ever ready to listen
to that recommendation, but under all the circumstances the
prisoner must expect to leave his country and his friends for
some years. The sntence, therefore, was that he be trans-
ported beyond the seas for the term of seven years.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.—(TiIiS DAY.)
A stout burly-looking man who gave his name William
Maycroft, was charged with ill-treating his wife.
The wife, a miserable puny little woman stated, that the
prisoner tore her to pieces, and that she went in danger of her
life from him " this morning," said the woman, "he took
hold of me, dashed me on the bed, and tore me to pieces and
kicked me:"

Mrs. Noah, a lodger in the house whore the pri.oner and his
worser half " reside, stated, that the complainant was most
brutally treated. Last night the prisoner had been buying a bed-
stead;, and a young man brought it home; he fancied that the
young man had taken some improper liberties with his wife,
and he gave her a beating; the complainant, in consequence,
slept with the witness last night, and the prisoner, this morn-
, ing, imagining teat she had not been at home all night, se.
verely ill-used her.
The prisoner, who appeared much excited, and labourea
under a considerable infirmity of speech, when called on for
his defence, delivered himself in nearly the following terms :
P-p-please y-your V7v-y-vor-ship, thi-is woo-man—l-I-I
vos ma-a-ried to her ei-eight months a-go-go; she goes out
and st-to-to-to-tops all ni-ni-night often and often. La-a-ast
night I b-b-b-b-bought a b-b-bedstead, and hired a p-p-person
to car-ry it home, which, when I cum home, they vos a k-k-kiss-
ing each other, th-they Tot. Then I d-don't know how it w a-was ;
I was t-t-t-tipsy ; sh-sh-sh-she went out and st-topped a-a-all
night. We-we-well, this m-m-morning ab-b-b-out a h-our
ago sh-sh-she cu-cu-hum in and bu-busted in my door. I
c-tern-n-n-ly did p-push her, and she hallows out m-m-m-ur-
urder. This a-ain't th-th-the fust time I've c-c-cotched her
in b-b-bed with a m-han, and if I say any-th-think to-to-to
her, sh-sh-she h.blaguards me and u-uses s-s-sich lan-gu-gage
as n-never vos hear. 1-1-1 vork a-ard for m-m-my living, and
as d-d-done for th-the last f-f-four-te-te-teen years, b-but th-
this vo-o-o-man got m-ma-ried to m-me,shedid,and ever si-si-since
sh-she's dyne no-nothink b-but a-a-b-b-buse me, for w-wot or
f-for w-why I-I-I don't know. Cernely w-when I c-cums
ho-ho-home, I do-do-don't like to fi-i-hind her dr-dr-dr-hunk,
and n-ti-now I'm ab-b-bused by the whole n-n-neighbourhood,
th-th that I am ; and no one knows how p-p-put upon
b-b-but my ow-ow-own self; p-p-pon m-m-my life. I'm used
sh-sh-sh-sh-hameful.
(This eloquent piece of oratory, which we think will scarcely
find its parallel in the English language, occupied about halt-
an-hour in the delivery, during the whole of which time the
Court was convulsed with laughter, in which the Bench at
times could scarcely refrain from joining. Though a most
painful sight to witness a large bulky man, gasping and writhing
to bring out a few words of pain English, the ridleulAs
tortions made use of, and the strange effect Produced from this
" hesitation of speech," as it has been tailed, really are such as
to make the best bred man fotget the duties of decorum, and
laugh in the speaker's face. )
Mr. Twirrostn ordered the prisoner to find bail, himself in
201., and two householders in 101. each, to keep the peace
towards his wife and the whole of her Majesty's subjects.,

evade the (lty dues, by discharging his cargo of coals without
having first paid the dues thereon.
It appeared from the evidence that on the 27th of February
the defendant brought his vessel into the Bow Creek, and dis-
charged her cargo, which was consigned to the Thames Plate-
glass Company, without making the entry at the Customs re-
quired by law. The practice had been so often repeated that
the City authorities were determined, if possible, to put a stop
to it. The amount of ditty on the cargo (320 tons) was n.p=
wards of 201. A notice of the recently adopted method of
collecting the dues had be,n extewivel,y circulated and adver-
ti ed in the London and Newcastle papers. The defendant was
engaged in the Newcastle trade.
The defendatt said ttat he was perfectly ignorant of the ne•
cessity of paying dues before 'discharging. Ever since he had
been master et a vessel, the dues had always been paid by the
Company by whom he was employed.
Air. BALLA NTINE said that the notice was very distinct. It
was formerly the practice fur the factor to pay the dues, and the
master had then only to discharge his cargo and go back. But .
within a few months past, it had been found necessary to make
an alteration, notice of which had been given to every trader.
If the master was so ignorant as he professed to be, he must be
taught by paying for it out of his own pocket. He should,
therefore, order that the defendant do pay a fine of 5/.

FEMMORE COOPER ~ , THE AMERICAN 1 ALTER SCOTT.
—A new work by this unrivalled novelist is announced
for immediate publication. It is entitled " The Two Admirals,"
and (as its title would indicate) is a story of the sea. The "
excellence of this great writer in his stories of the sea is uni-
versally acknowledged, for we shall look in vain for any stories
giveeul ‘ e ; will,
popular as his " Pilot," " Red Rover, or " Water Witch."
In these successful productions of his genius, while directing
the battle and the storm, he is on his native element, and car-
ries his readers breathlessly forward by the excitement of his
scenes. In the forthcoming work Cooper, for the first time,
we understand, places before us, in all their inspiring grandeur,
two hostile fleets. This is indeed a theme worthy of the great
Magician of the Sea.
