was, and that which confirms what we have said of the
usefulness of Lord BROUGHAM'S least effectual labours,
no sooner had his Lordship deposited his Bill on the
table of the House, than the LORD CHANCELLOR
rose, and stated that he, too, had been preparing a
County Courts' Bill, which he would be ready to submit
to their Lordships in a few days ! With much naivete
his Lordship added that it would be for the House to
take its choice of the three Bills, or to see whether they
might not amalgamate them. Lord LYNDHURST, how
that he is in office, wants to share the credit of this great
and importmt measure with Lord BROUGHAM. He will
go, halves with BROUGHAM, or thirds with BROUGHAM
and COTTENEAM, rather than run the chance of never
being named in conjunction with a Bill which is des-
tined to reflect such immortal honour upon the great
Law Reformer to whom the whole concepti6n
of it is due, and who nearly ten years ago sub-
mitted it for immediate adoption to the House of Lords.
Which ever County Courts' Bill pass, the real merit of
any good which it may confer upon the country is really
attributable to the law reforming labours of Lord
BROUGHAM, and to none other.

The Moniteur Parisien publishes the following curious
notice :
"It had been announced that the French Associa-
tion for the Abolition of Slavery would hold, on the 7th
instant, a meeting at the Hotel de Ville,' and that the
English abolitionists would be invited to attend at the
meeting.' The planters of the French West India Islands,
alarmed for their interests, assembled to-day (Saturday
last) at the house of M. Jollivet, the delegate for Mar-
tinique, who announced to them that ' the Government
had taken measures to prevent the projected meeting at
the Hotel de Ville !' "
The Courrier Francais of Sunday, signalizes the pre-
sence of an unusual number of Carlist and Christino re-
fugees on the French frontier. Both receive assistance
from the French Government, but this aid was so small
that it was quite evident, from their expenditure, that
more considerable sums were secretly distributed amongst
them. The Courrier asks how it is that these refugees,
who resided formerly in the interior, have obtained
passports to approach the frontiers. And if they travel
without passports, what is the police about ?
The Spanish Government has sent General Goni to
make a tour of inspection in the Basque provinces, and
the partisan Mochaelo is ordered to raise a free corps
for the purpose of guarding against the introduction of
Carlist and Christino agents. A good deal of excite-
ment prevails in Catalonia, and already some troubles
have taken place at Olot.
The Regent had, by a recent decree, abolished the
extraordinary duty laid on various articles of home con-
sumption on their importation into Spain, under the
name of temporary duty, by a Royal order of the 30th
of May, 1800.
The Madrid Gazette contains a project of law, to be
presented to the Cortes, demanding that the Minister of
Finance may be authorised to issue Treasury bills to the
amount of 160 millions of reels, but as the Committee
charged with the examination of this scheme is composed
of the Opposition, it is doubted whether it will pass into
a law. Those 160,000,000 are to be divided into 32
series of 5,000,000 each. The bonds are to bear an in-
terest of 6 per cent., and the proceeds of the customs
of the kingdom are to be allocated for their redemption.
They are to be rewired as cash in all the custom-
houses ; but those who might not wish to apply them in
that manner, may require the payment of the capital and
interest from the general direction of the Treasury in
Madrid. One series is to be redeemed monthly.
. The Francfort Journal of the 25th ult., announces that
M. Eichthorn was to succeed Count Maltzahn as
Prussian Minister for Foreign Affairs. It is added that
a report prevailed at Berlin of a considerable reduction
being about to be made in the Prussian army.

The debate on the Address is not yet over in the
Spanish Cortes.
.The young QUEEN was nearly hit on the 19th, by the
accidental firing of a gun belonging to a water-carrier,
the muzzle of which was pointed in the direction of the
Royal gardens where the QUEEN was walking.
The following appears in the Madrid Gazette of the
20th :

" Art. I. The Government is authorised to make an issue
of treasury bonds to the amount of 160,000,000 of reals, which
shall be divided into 32 series of 5,000,000 each.

" Art. 2. These bonds shall pay an interest of six per cent.
per annum.

" Art. 3. The negotiations of these bonds shall be made with
the publicity called for by the circumstances and the objects to
which these bonds are devoted. The preliminary notice shall
be published in the Garette.
" Art. 4. For the sinking of the bonds and interest due
shall be appropriated all the duties received in the Custom-
houses in the kingdom, where these bonds shall be received as
cash in the form which shall be determined on.
" Art. 5. The series of these bonds shall be numbered from
Ito 32. Each month one of these series shall be paid off
(amortie) in succes,ive numerical order, so that the bonds of
the first series shall be received by the customs of the kingdom
from the first day of the month, which shall immediately follow
that of the first emission made by the Government. The 31
other series will have the right to be cancelled, and they wilt
be equally received at the custom-houses of the kingdom in the
31 following months. No mote will be received in each month
than those of the series whose turn for cancelling shall have
arrived.

" Art. 6. The Government will announce in the Gazette,
on the first day of each month, the number of the series to be
cancelled.

" Art. 6. The holders of bonds will have the option of either
paying those bonds into the Customs by way of duty, or to de-
mand the payment of the principal and interest at the public
Treasury of Madrid. Those who may prefer this latter course,
cannot present themselves before the 15th of the month which
shall follow that in which the cancelling of their respective se-
ries may take place.

The Earl of Ripon gave notice that he will bring in
a Bill to regulate the relations of merchant and factor.
Amongst the petitions presented was one signed ex-
clusively by farmers of Roxburghshire, for a total re-
peal of the Corn-laws ; and one from Limerick to in-
crease the duty on oats.
Lord Brougham, after adverting to his own continued
efforts to procure the passing of a Local Courts' Bill,
laid one on the table of the House. Lord Cottenham
has a Bill of this kind already on the table ; and the
Lord Chancellor announced his intention of introducing
a third, so that the Peers will have three Bills on the
same subject before them to discuss at once.
In the Commons,- Mr. E. Tennent postponed the
second reading of the Copyright • of Designs' Bill till
March 14th.
Lord Ellenborough, it is well known, receives a large
yearly sum from the country as a compensation for an
office which he held for life in the Court of Queen's
Bench. At present the Noble Lord is gone to India
as Governor-General, and will have a large salary for
that office. It is natural, therefore, that Mr. Hutt
should inquire, as he did, whether the Noble Lord was
to receive both. Sir R. Peel replied, that he had looked
into the Act, and the Treasury had no power to touch
the compensation. The East India Company might
make a reduction in the salary, which is under their
consideration, but which they will hardly do. The
Noble Lord will enjoy both.
The length of time in which corn can be brought
fi orn the United States to Liverpool was the subject of
discussion, and Mr. Thornely referred to a case, sup-
posed to be the one already quoted by Sir Robert Peel,
of corn brought from America in fifty-one days, and
not, as Sir Robert Peel had stated, forty-four. Sir R.
Peel insisted on his accuracy.
Lord Stanley postponed, till "Wednesday, the second
readinc, of the Colonial Passengers' Bill.
The Railway and Van Diemen's Land Bills were read
a second time.
The Dissenting Marriages (Ireland) Bill, was
committed after some. opposition to the second clause,
and after a division called for by Mr. W. O'Brien,
which was decidedin favour of retaining the clause, by
156 to 63.
In Committee on Sir Robert Peel's corn resolutions
the scale as to barley was proposed. Mr. Wodehouse, as
the representative of the barley-growers, objected at
some length that the protection given to the article was
not sufficient ; but he declined pressing his 'views to a
division, and the scale was adopted. The discussion sur-
ficed, however, to show that the growers of barley are
little pleased with the favour shown to the growers of
wheat. The growers of oats, less modest than the
growers of barley, loudly demanded more protection,
and divided on the question of substituting Bs. for 7s.
The landed gentlemen haggle for a penny. Sir Robert
Peel defeated his own friends by a larger force than he
defeated the total repeaters, for only 53 supported the
greater protection for oats, and 256 voted for Sir Robert's
scale.

There is no political news of interest in the French
Journals ; for the right of search question has- no
longer interest for English readers. We subjoin the
most stirring extracts from them :
Private Correspondence of the Constitutionnel:—
CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 2.—M. de Bourqueney is ex-
tremely dissatisfied with all that is passing in Syria. Every
day he makes fresh applications to the Porte, in favour of the
Christians, for whom he demands the privilege granted them
many years ago, and which are now disregarded. He meets
with great difficulties on the part of the Porte. In a word,
the demands of France on the one hand, those of England,
which will inert asO now that the Protestant Bishop has arrived,
the opposition which the Turkish authorities meet with from
the inhabitants, all these things much embarrass the Porte.
Such is the present that the treaty of the 15th of July has
made to the Sultan—great expense, much cry, and little work—
since nothing is organised.
Sir Stratford Canning and M. de Bourqueney appears to
be on the most friendly terms. They see each other fre-
quently, and the day before yesterday the British Ambassador
dined with the Minister of France, a circumstance which did
not once happen between Lard Ponsonby and Count de Pontois
Their instructions are said to be identical.— Constitutionnel.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Some objections were also made to the protection
given to flour, which the millers think too little, and put
• up Lord Sandon as their spokesman ; but Sir Robert Peel
satisfied the corn millers that his proposition was cor-
rect. He spoke slightingly of the millers, and attribute)
much of the dearness of bread to them. The Right Hon,
Baronet had the great satisfaction, which he very seldom
has, of quoting a speech-of his own, delivered in 1827,
and showing that on flour he still retains the opinion he
held in 1827.
Subsequently a brief discussion took place on Mr.
O'Brien's proposition to admit Colonial wheat and flour
at all times at a nominal duty, which was negatived
by 135 tb 38, and finally Colonel Sibthorp's and
Sir Valentine Blake's 'amendments having been with-
drawn, and Mr. Barclay's postponed, the resolu-
tions were agreed to, the House resumed, the Report was
brought up, and ordered to be received to-day. Ad-
journed at Half-past One.
Mr. Hastie, this evening, is to bring on a motion to
which even the Tories cannot make any rational objec-
tion. It appears from returns laid before the House by
Sir Robert I'ecl, that at an average of years with average
crops, a sufficient quantity of food for the inhabitants is
not produced ; the deficiency amounting to about one
million quarters of wheat, and half a million quarters of
barley and oats. He therefore proposes • that before the
c de of duties comes into operation, the quantity of grain
deficient shall be admitted at ls. the quarter.

PRICKS OF SHARES THIS DAY AT ONE.

The Morning Herald observes that in the support which the
county members give to the Ministerial Corn.law, there is no in.
'consistency, "there is no breaking of pledges, no belying of re-
cent professions. The county Members were returned to eject from
office the Whigs, to keep them out when they had ousted them, to
protect domestic agriculture, and to aid in the supremacy of Con-
servative opinion. They have ejected the Whigs from place, they
are now keeping them out, and they are now refusing to deprive
agriculture of protection. They have placed Sir Robert Peel in
power, and they will preserve him in it."
The Post justifies Mr. Ferrand's late attack on the manufac-
turers, and says :—" If Mr. Ferrand deems the manufacturing
system established in this country an unsound system, he has an
undoubted right to denounce it. If Mr. Ferrand believes, that in
proportion to the extension of our manufacturing system, and in
consequence of the extension of that system, has been the extension
of misery among the labouring classes, Mr. Ferrand, as an honest
man, is bound to ' make war ' on our manufacturing policy.
Who shall deny to Mr. Ferrand such a right ? What I Has not
the agricultural policy of Great Britain been, more especially
during the last three years, denounced with unceasing bitterness
by free trade writers, by free-trade lecturers, and by free-trade
speakers of all kinds, throughout the the length and breadth of
1 Great Britain ?"

The Chronicle expresses its belief that a special commission or
II board of survey is in contemplation, to consist of some of the first
engineers or architects of the day, for the purpose of preparing be-
fore the next Session of Parliament, a general plan of all such im-
provements, within and around the metropolis, as are most impera-
tively required. " The result," adds the Chronicle," of the la-
bours of such a board, when submitted to and approved by Parlia.
ment, could, in all probability, be gradually realized by no very
large outlay. Indeed, any outlay in conformity with it would be
sure to prove economical as compared with the present expenditure;
and merely as a directory to the best mode of proceedure it would
be of great value."
The Advertiser, speaking of the great national party of Re.
formers, says :—" Henceforward, and this party assumes a front
not to be mistaken. Its name is the issnots ; its principles, in
contradistinction to all the various ramifications of opinion, ranged
under leaders whose actions are the demonstration that their pa
triotism is the art of rising to office—are national principles; while

Noperatives. From anything which under the name of party exists at the present
day, they are widely separated. They are not Tories, nor Whigs,
nor Whig. Radicals, nor Chartists."
The Times remarks :—" The interminable debate on the Corn.
laws goes on as usual, Another Gentleman and another Noble
Lord have risen to propose a pair of those amendments which they
knew would be negatived, and which, accordii.gly, serve no pos.
sible purpose but delaying the business of the House. If a Whig
or Radical had done this, we should have said they were but fish
filling the natural law of their existence. It is their way to talk
talk they must, if the country die for it—and if they impede the
progress of Conservative Government, so much the better. But,
we confess, we are sorry to see supporters of the present Ministry
following their example on matters which, after all, are but atTairs
of detail."

HALF-PAST ONE.
The abundance of Money in the Market, which can be
easily obtained upon the deposit of English Stock at Three
per Cent. has caused a decided improvement in our Home Se-
curities generally. Consols have advanced to 691 for Money,
at.d for the Account 89% 1., ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 88i
89 ; New Three. and-a- Half per Cent. 993 ; Reduced Three-
and-a- Half per Cents. 994 ; Exchequer Bills, 24 26 prem.
In the Foreign Market there has been but little doing, and
the only alteration to notice is in Mexican, which have im-
proved to 36i, ; Spanish Active Stock remains steady at 241/ ;
in Portuguese Stock there has not been a bargain done, the no-
minal quotation of the Five per Cents. is 335; and the
Three per Cents, 195 to 20 ; Colombian Stock have been done at
231; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 52i ; Five per Cents. I
have been done this morning at 103, an improvement of %
per cent. upon our previous quotations.
In the Share Market Great Western continues to improve,

From the Calcutta Price Current of the Bth of January, it
appears that the Money Market had been more quiet during
the past week, although a good deal was required for opium. The
drug sold well, and the profit to Government must have been
considerable in this aid, together with the continued direction
of capital to the Five per- Cent. Loan (we hear the King of
Oude has made another subscription of twelve or fifteen lakh),
puts an end to all expectation of any better investment.
Government Securities are without alteration. The; Bank
of Bengal had ch dared a dividend of 10 per cent. per
and , an-
num • the Union Bank is expected to be about the same.

Indigo—The transactions have been, during the week,
principally on French account, at prices exhibiting a de-
cline of 35 to 40 rupees per Bazar Alaurd, from those
realised last year for the same marks. Three pub-
lic sales have been held since the last issue of our
Number. The quantity put up consisted of 1,526 chests,
ordinary to fine consuming qualities, of which 740 chests only
found buyers. Therices realised were at 30 to 40 rupees below
the run of last years prices for similar qualities.

had been adopted at an early age by Mr. Beaufoy, and after an edu-
cation bestowed upon him, had been fitted out at that gentleman's
expense, to go and settle at Sydney. After a twelvemonth he had re-

RUMOURS OF TUE DAY.
Sir Thomas Cochrane, it is said, is not to start for China so soon
as was expected. He can make some important disclosures re-
specting the Ipswich electors, who fleeced him of his money.
It is said that the Romish religion is nowhere less respected than

among the men there is a pervading infidelity. This is too bad, just
under the Pope's nose.

UNION-HALL—(T-Ills DAY.)
Mary Nicholls was charged with stealing a gold watch,
chain, and seals, vahre 20 guineas, the property of Air. Thomas
Shepherd, landlord of the King and Queen, Kennington-road.
The complainant stated that theprisoner was a nurse, and in
the habit of attending on his wife during her confinement. On
Friday last she was at his house, and some time after her de-
parture, a gold watch, chain, andseals, were missing from his
bed-room. Such confidence, however, was reposed in the pri-
soner that she was the last person suspected, but information
having been given at the station, the prisoner was subsequently
taken into custody. The complainant identified the gold
watch produced as his property.
A policeman said that since the discovery of the robbery he
had ascertained that several families with whom the prisoner
had been engaged as nurse had been robbed of various articles
of plate, and that as the was strongly suspected now of being
the thief, if she was remanded the parties would attend.
Remanded accordingly.

WORSHIP-ST/MET-(THIS DAY•)
A RUNAWAY OUSBA ND. —Janzes Massey, a journeyman
tailor of dissipated appearance, was charged with having de-
serted his wife and two children, leaving them chargeable to
the parish of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch.
Caste, the relieving officer, stated that the prisoner's wife
applied to him for relief about two months ago, stating that
her husband had absconded leaving her entirely without
the means of subsistence. She was taken at once into
the house with her two children, and every exer-
tion was made to discnee the retreat of the
prisoner without success until the preceding day, when he was
accidentally met with, and taken into custody. This was the
second time that the prisoner had deserted his family, and the
parish authorities considered it their duty to press for his con-
viction and punishment, as a warning to others.
'i he prisoner begged had to be indulged with one more
trial, and promised that he would never a,ain offend, but the
parish officer was inexerable, and the 31agistrate committed the
prisoner for one mouth to the House of Correction.

INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY)

RE HENRY W. YOUNG.

The insolvent was a broker residing at Maidstone, and the
debts appearing in his schedule amounted to upwards of 1,6111.
of which the greater portion was alleged to be without con-
sideration. Mr. Cooke appeared in support of his petition to
be discharged.
He was opposed on behalf of Messrs. Wood and Bishop,
upholders and cabinet-makers, carrying on business in the
Mitsories, on the grounds of having executed a warrant of at-
torney in favour of his brother for a sum of 80U/., by which he
hidgained an undue 'preference over the other creditors, and
'also that the alleged debt, on account of which the instrument
was executed, was not bona fide, or for consideration, as the
money was stated in the schedule to have been advanced so
far back as the years 1835 and 1836, and there were do
distinct entries of debit in his cash-book on that account. It
was also stated, in opposition, that the circumstances of both
the insolvent and his brother, at the time the alleged loan
passed between them, were such as to render it not only im-
probable, but impossible, that either could have command over
the sum of 8001.

Mr. CooKE addressed the Court for the insolvent, and read
a letter from Messrs. Millat and Co., Monument-yard, City,
bearing date at the time when the money was lent in which
they sought his custom, for the purpose of showing that he must
have been in independent circumstances at the time, or such
respectable merchants would not be anxious to deal with him.
In reply to the Learned Chief Commissioner the insolvent
said he hoped to have been able to repay his brother from a
legacy he expected from his father-in-law, who died about two
years ago, but was di-appointed.
Mr. Comm ssioner REYNOLDS said he should a•?journ the
case for a short time, as there were certain points in the insol-
yen 's balance sheet upon which he desired further information.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COUR7'.

George Clark, 25, labourer, and James Bryant, 38, a
cabman, were indicted for breaking into the dwelling-house of
Henry Sheedy, and stealing one cask and twenty-five quarts of
rum, value 31. 55., his property.
It appeared that the prisoners went in company with
loch other to the house •of the prosecutor, who is a
publican, and resides in the borough of Southwark. The pri-
soner, Bryant, came with his cab, and waited in the street, for
the other prisoner. This was about one o'clock in the morn-
int:. The prisoner, Clark, brought out a small cask of rum,
and it was placed in the cab. Bryant then drove off to awi 11-
known house which is kept for the reception of stolen goods in
King-street, Borough. The jury did not think that the prisoner
Clark was sufficiently identified, and consequently acquitted him,
but found the other prisoner guilty of receiving goods knowing.
them to have been stolen, and he was sentenced to nine months'
imprisonment and hard labour.

NEW COURT.
Ann Wilson, aged 24, was indicted for stealing a watch and
a sum of money to the amount of 305., the proper ty of William
Cluff, from his person.
The prosecutor stated that at about half-past twelve in the
morning of the Ist February, he was accosted on
London-bridge by the prisoner who importuned him
for something to drink. Witness, who acknowledged that he
was in liquor at the time, but not drunk, replied that he had
no money about him. The prisoner then put her hand into
his waistcoat-pocket, and felt some silver there. She imme-
diately took him by the arm and led him into Loadenhall
Market, where witness soon found that both his watch
and money were gone. He then accused the pri-
soner of robbing him ; and, in the meantime, a strange
man came up and said he knew the young woman well, and
that she was ineara le of robbing any one. A policeman came
and took the woman into custody, but the man had previously
absconded. Witness further stated that a ribbon round
his neck, attached to his watch, had been cut ;
and a penknife was found in the hand of the prisoner,
when she had been arrested by the policeman. She had also
a sum of money amounting Us that lost by the prosecutor. The
watch, however, had not been found; and witness supposed it
hrd been taken away by the man who had come up to the par-
ties (luring their altercation.
The jury found the prisoner guilty, and she was then sen-
tenced to four months' imprisonment, with hard labour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.-(TH AS DAY.)
SINGULAR CASE.—A young man, of rather genteel ap-
pearance, apparently not more than twenty years of age, whose
whole deportment indicated that he was labouring under some
mental anxiety, and whose meagre and attenuated person
plainly bespoke an acquaintance with grief, was charged under
the following painful circumstances :—The police•constable
stated, that about twenty minutes past two o'clock this morn-
ing he heard a crash as if of the breaking of glass, which ap-
peared to proceed from Bow-street, where, on arriving, he
found the prisoner, who advanced towards him, and told him
that he had broken a lamp. His friends, he said, had turned
him out of doors, and as he had no place to go to, he wished to
be locked up. The prisoner refused to give his name.
The Inspector ;of the F division said that the prisoner had
been brought to the station-house not many days ago for taking
poison.
The MAGisTarrv—What account have you to give of this?
Prisoner (in an under tone) said that he had broken the lamp
because he had been walking about for the last two nights, and
he did not know where to go.
The MAGISTRATE-But you had no occasion to break the
lamp. Why did you not speak to the policeman, and tell him
your condition, without breaking the lamp? Prisoner-4 did
speak to two policemen, Sir, and said I was destitute: but they
said they Could not help me.
In answer to ether questions from the worthy ➢lagistrate,
the prisoner said that he had never been brought up to any
business at all. He met his brother on Sunday last, who told
him that his family had all, gone to Yorkshire, and that he
(his brother) was going there on Wednesday. He could not
tell where his brother lived; he could give the names of some
respectable persons who knew him, but he would rather riot.
The worthy MAGISTRATE told the prisoner that be could send
him to jail; but if his story were tine, he should certainly not
do so ; in the meantime he ordered him to be remanded till he
should see if he could get the name of some person who knew
him.

tion and remained silent, although it was repeated to him two
or three times.
