understanding and reciprocal courtesy, France has only
one course to take,viz., to discontinue all official relations.

This is strong language on the part of a Journal
so habitually temperate in the expression of
opinions respecting Foreign Governments as the
Debats. It is an open and direct attack
upon the EMPEROR, whom it personally
denounces as the enemy of the Revolution,
and the personal foe of the KING. This is
in fact true. NICHOLAS hates Louts PHILIPPE
as cordially as the monks tell us the Father of
Lies hates holy water. But let us hear
what the Constitutionnel, M. TRIERS' paper,
says upon this subject :
As far as we are concerned, although the question
is apparently a trivial one, we shall be always disposed
to approve of whatever may be done against the insolence
and ill-disguised contempt of Russia. We know that the
hatred of the Muscovite Court is not directed against the
French nation—it is against its dynasty, its King. But
want of respect to the King is want of respect to France,
and what offends him offends us. This is especially true
as regards Foreign Powers. France will permit no
person to show insolence or disdain for the King, and
the dynas:y which he has elected. We approve, there-
fore, of the just susceptibility of the Ministry, and en-
courage it to persevere in its conduct; that is to say, to
return to Russia disrespect for disrespect, insult for insult.

As this promises to be a very pretty quarrel
as it stands, we shall not interfere between the
belligerents. The following are the only inte-
resting paragraphs in these papers :
The new Prince of Monaco was, on the 27th ultimo,
solemnly invested, according to ancient customs, by the
King of Sardinia, with the fiefs of Menton and Rocca-
broma, and all their rights and appendages, as heir to
his late brother. Prince Honore V. Prince Florestan
did not appear in person, but was represented by Charles
Athanasius Rey, Chevalier de Villa Rey, Governor-
General, Colonel-General, and President of the Coun-
cil of State of Monaco, who bore the necessary
powers to receive the investiture and take the oaths in
the name of the Prince. The King was seated on his
throne, with the Duke of Savoy on his right, and the
Duke of Genoa on his left, the Prince de Savoy Carig-
nan and the hereditary Prince of Lucca being also at-
tendant. The King and the Princes were covered. On
the right of the throne were placed the Knights of the
Anuunciada and the officers of the Crown. On the left
the Ministers and personages entitled to the grande en-
tree. Behind the throne were the Grand Chamberlain
and the Captain of the Guards on duty ; at the foot was
the King's Grand Equerry. On the right side was a
table with the book of the Holy Evangelists and the
Sword of Investiture. Opposite the throne were ranged
the officers of the Gardes du Corps, the Generals who are
the King's Aides-de-Camp, the Quartermasters-General
of the Guard, and behind them the Court officers. The
Prince's proxy being introduced with the accustomed
formalities, and conducted to the foot of the throne near
the table, Count Gallina, First Secretary of State of the
Interior and of Finances, standing on the last step of the
throne, read the Act of Investiture. As he pronounced
the solemn formula, the King received the sword from
the hands of the Grand Equerry, delivered it into those
of the Prince de Monaco's representive, and then granted
him the honour of the accolade in testimony of fidelity.
This part of the ceremony being concluded, the Cheva-
lier de Villa Rey, kneeling before the Icing with his
hand on the Gospels, took the oath according to the
form as read by Count Gallina. The Act was then
signed by the Prince de Monaco's proxy, by the Knights
of the Order, the appointed witnesses, and by the Secre-
tary of State.
The wife of Boucheron, as we mentioned, has been
arrested on a charge of robbery. It appears that she
had been received by a woman named Livet, herself in
great poverty, and even receiving assistance from the
Bureau de Bienfaisance ; and that according to her own
account, she had taken a gown belonging to this woman,
and pledged it at the Mont-de-Piete. Part of the money
raised on it, she gave to her husband in prison, and the
ticket she gave to the woman Livet. The latter has
herself been arrested on a charge of mendicity, and un-
til she can appear in Court, the charge against the
woman Boucheron is postponed. The case would not
be worth mentioning did it not show in how low a class
some of the accomplices of Quenisset were placed.
A dinner in celebration of the birth of a Prince of
Wales took place at Wiesbaden on the 13th ult., when
the usual loyal toasts were drank on the occasion, Dr.
Swift, of her Majesty's Royal Rifles, being in the chair.
After passing the evening in the utmost hilarity, the
company separated, well satisfied with the wines and fare
provided by M. Schneider, of the Rose Hotel, which
were most excellent and recherche. What added much
to the interest of the occasion, was the circumstance of
the fete being given in the apartments formerly occupied
by Prince Albert, his father, his brother, and Prince
Ernest, during their last visits to this fashionable and
celebrated watering-place.
We learn from St. Petersburgh that the frost re-
turned on the 18th ult., and that the Neva continued to
be covered with floating ice till the 20th. The bridges
had been removed.

During Christmas week there was a vast in
crease in the number of deaths in the metropolis'
as compared with the previous week. During
the week ending Dec. 25, the total number of
deaths was 795, while on the following week they
amounted to 1,037, making a difference of not
less than 242. in one week. January is the most
fatal month throughout the year, on account of
the cold which carries off a great number
of persons advanced in years, or of debilitated
constitutions ; but this cannot be attributed as
the cause of the large increase during the last
week, for the thermometer was never below 30.
which prevails during that season.
The It arose, probably, therefore, from the great in-
temperancest increase of deaths occurred among
with diseases ofthe lungs, being
personsgreaatffee
eted
not fewer than 50 over those of the preceding
week. Intemperance might have been the cause
of this to a certain extent; about the others
there can be little doubt, as they were caused
chiefly by intemperance, diseases of the brain,
diseases of the stomach, and diseases of uncertain
seat.

The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council
resumed their sittings this morning- in the Coun-
cil Chamber, and continued the hearing of a
cause from the Prerogative Court of Canterbury,
relative to the will of Mr. Peter Rainier, for-
merly of the Albany, in the city of Westminster,
and involving property to a very large amount.
Sir William Follett was heard for the respon-
dent. The cause is expected to occupy the whole
of the day..
Several gentlemen connected with the Board
of Trade attended on Sir Robert Peel this morn-
ing at his private residence.

BANKRUPTCY—(THIS DAY.) •
IN RE BLARE AND MAUNSELL.
This (lay was Es,pcadiett • ter the choice of assignees
under 1.110 tint against the bankrupts, who carried on ex-
tensive business as iron-founders.

The Solicitor to the fiat said, since the bankrupt Blake
had passed his last examination circumstances had tran-
spired by which he thought he should be able to establish
a clear case of fraud against him, and if the information
he received were true, he thought it was a matter which
might be brought before a Criminal Court.
The Learned Commissioisnx said the less said in the
preliminary arrangement of matters like this the better.
When the assignees were appointed a closer scrutiny
could be entered upon.
Charles Jones sought to prove for the sum of
1,470/. los. for goods sold and delivered.
The official assignee said he had reason to believe
that some of these goods had been supplied after the
docket had been struck against the bankrupt.
Several proofs having been established, and others
deferred until after the appointment of assignees,
Messrs. Swainson and Bane were chosen.

INSOLVENT COURT.-THIS DAY.

IN RE T. E. CAREW.

At the sitting of the Court this morning, the case of
Mr. Carew, the sculptor, was called on pursuant to ad-
journment, and the further hearing again adjourned to
this day week, in consequence of the indisposition of
the Learned Chief Commissioner, who has been suffer-
ing from illness for some days past. Mr. Carew appeared
in Court, and the bail was enlarged to Saturday next.
No other cause of interest appeared upon the paper
for hearing, and the Court was occupied during the morn-
ing in disposing of trifling bail cases.

LONDON QUARTER SESSIONS.

(THIS DAY.)
These Sessions commenced to-day, before the Lord
Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. Alderman Brown, Sir John
Cowan, and Sir George Carrol.
The Grand Jury having been sworn and addressed

victed :of assaulting Mr. Stone. Edgar was fined 55.,

saulting John Wood, and sentenced to one month's impri-
sonment and hard labour in Giltspur-street Compter.

in each case was " Natural death."
