HOUSE OF LORDS—Tins DAT.
The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that after hearing the urge.
rents of Counsel in the appeal of Coinukono against Colquhossa, be
he should defer giving his judgment until he had taken the opinion of
the mot eminent conveyancets in Scotland, on the tenons points at
?.rue between the parties. His Lordship added, that however clear it
'might appear to their Lordships, that the judgment given by the
lords of Session were wrong ; yet considering the great knowledge of
these distinguished judges in all matters baring reference to the laws of
Scotland, it would be expedient to have the opinion of the convey.
lacers of Scotch practice taken on the subject. The appeal was then
lnlerecl to he remitted as aforesaid.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE OP TILE lIERALD.
PARIS. Pia. 15.

I wrote you yesterday a few lines, describing briefly the
religious ceremony performed at the church of St. Germain
rA,lxerroie, in memory of the Duc de Berry, and I gave,
i❑ a postscript, a short extract from the second edition of
La Revolution, stating " the inauguration of the bust of the
Due de Bordeaux," and the tumult to which it gave rise;
but that which subsequently occurred was of a much more
serious character.

When I left the church the ceremony had terminated, and
the quete (collection) was proceeding towards its close. All
wai then quiet, but the air of triumph worn by the majority
of the men, and nearly the entire of the women present, was
sufficient to prepare au experienced observer for a scene. As
usual at all similar ceremonies for deceased persons of dis-
tinction, a splendid catafalque was fitted up in the choir. It
bore, when I saw it, the usual funeral emblem, but I did
not remark either white flags or a bust—now said to have
been upon it throughout the day. The bust, it appears, was
that of the Due de Bordeaux. For the events, of which I was
not an eye-witness, I refer you to the following extracts from
Galignanrs Messenger and the Journal des Debats of this
day :
.1' Yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, about 200 persons
cworran

The Rector of the parish officiated. In the middle of the
choir was raised a catafalque, without ornaments. An offi-
cer, who wore the insignia of several Orders, took from his
coat the Cross of the Order of St. Louis, and attached it to
the pall, as did another officer his Cross of the Legion of Ho..
sour. The catafalque was surmounted by a bust of the Duke
of Bordeaux, which had been consecrated, and at the four
corners were white flags. After the service, at the moment
'hen the attendants sprinkled holy water upon the pall,
two crowns of immortelles were placed upon it. Among
the persons present were a pupil of the School of St. Cyr.
in uniform, and three National Guards, one of whom was a
truss-maker, named Valerius, residing in the rue du Coq.
A rumour having got abroad that the bust of the Duke of
Bordeaux had been crowned under the title of Henry V.
a crowd proceeded to the church, and a disturbance being
apprehended, the National Guards on duty at head-quarters
hastened to the spot, and the persons who bad caused
the service to be celebrated, being still in the vestry, a
Commissary of Police was sent for. He entered the ves-
try, and found the bust in the hands of Madame Valerius,
silo had gone round to make a collection for the poor, to
which the Duchess of Berry has sent 500frs. M. Ardel, a
shoemaker, living in the Rue de Grenelle St. Honore, at-
tempted to seize it, but Valerius took it from his wife, and it
disappeared. By order of the Commissary, the three Na-
tional Guards were arrested, and conducted to his office.
Upon his examination, Valerius declared that Henry V. was
his sovereign, and his wife exclaimed, '4 We must not sur-
render, but must conquer or die." This occurrence made
some noise in the quarter ; strong patrols were set on foot,
and, at half-past three o'clock, three other persons were
apprehended and taken before the Commissary of Po-
lice. The crowd from this time gradually augmented
in the Place Saint Germain l'Auxerrois, and the win-
dows of the house of the Rector having been broken,
the drums at five o'clock beat to arms in all quarters of Paris,
and the whole body of the National Guards were soon on
foot. An intention was expressed of demolishing the church
and a party actually mounted on the roof, and threw down
the cross, ornamented with fleurs-de-lis, and some of the
stone- a ork. Several thousand men of the National Guards,
besides a regiment of the Line, and a detachment
of the municipal Horse Guards, were stationed in front of
the church and in the environs of the Louvre, who bin-
dared all approach to commit further mischief, and the in-
habitants of the neighbourhood placed lights at their win-
dows to prevent confusion. A part of the crowd then pro-
ceeded to the palace of the Archbishop of Paris, and it is said
that it was forced and pillaged ; but a strong force of Na-
tional Guards being drawn up round the church of Notre
Dame and the palace, and all approach being forbidden, ws
were unable to ascertain the extent of the damage. A vast
multitude still continued in the vicinity of the church of St.
Germain l'Auxerrois, the rector of which bad fled. An in-
dividual, armed with a pair of pistols, who attempted to ha.
moue the people, was seized, his clothes torn off hie back,
sad he was thrown over the parapet into the quay, and, but
for the interference of the National Guards, would probably
have been massacred. A party went to the boon of Valerius
u'lth the intention of sacking it, but were prevented by the
4tional Guards, who, stationed at the extremities of the Hue
411 "9, allowed no one to pass. A project was fortnel to

make an attack neon the church of St. Sulpice, but means
were taken to thwart it, by a body of National Guards being
stationed in the vicinity. By midnight the crowds were com-
pletely dispersed, but the National Guards continued on
duty, and strong patroles paraded the streets of the capital
during the whole of the night."—Galignani's Messenger.
At eleven o'clock last night a mob of about fitty persons
proceeded to the hotel of M. Dupin, uttering alarming cries
and vociferations. Several ill-dressed men forced their way
into the court, with shouts of "A bas Dupin I" Dupin a
la lantern 1" They were kept from acts of violence for
some time by the inmates of the house, till the National
Guards from a neighbouring post came up, and dispersed
them. On retirinr.they sang the Parisienne,'and threatened
to return.
Fran Me Journal as Deists of Tuesday.

The entire city was carefully patrolled during the whole of last night.
At an early hour this morning the drums of the National Guard again
best the rappel, and have beaten it at intervals up to the present time
(two o'clock). About an hour ago I met in the Rue Vivienne a body
of about 500 young men and boys, of the class which the old Court
styled the canaille. They carried a placard, on which was inscribed
" A bas les Glottis !" the specks of cap worn by the Catholic clergy
in the pulpit ; in other words, " Down with the Priests !" sod uttered
the same sentiments in accents calculated to terrify all who recollected the
first revolution. A large picquet of the Garde Nationale closely trod on
their heels, however, and will prevent mischief.
I alluded early in this letter to some observations of the groups
with whom I mingled last night, and of which take the following
specimen
An elderly but a robust man distinguished himself by the loudness
of his invectives directed against the Priests. A National Guard re-
monstrated with him. " I am an old soldier," said ha, in reply ;
" And I too," said the National Guardsman. " What ! did you serve
the Emperor ?"—" I did." " And you'll serve him again 11"—" I
will serve my country," observed the National Guard. " And I also,"
rejoined the other—recalled perhaps to his senses by the adroit ob.
venation of the National Guard.

" The occurrences of the last tweoty.four hours are calculated to give
salutary hints to the king and his ministers. The ides that Louis Phi.
lippe is attached to the name of Bourbon, prevails, no doubt, errone-
ously; but it must be removed ere his government can be considered
stable, for the hatred of the people of France foe that name is too dap•
rooted CM to be effaced. One of the imaginary proofs of that family
predilection which some persons have observed, was the maintenance of
sentinels over the statues of Henri Quatre and Louis Quatorse, and the
preservation of the fieur.de-lis every where. This morning the people
surrounded the statue of Louis XIV. in the Place des Victoires, within
a few yards of a post of soldiers (the bank guard.) They first tore down
the lillks, and ultimately the other ornaments of the enclosure.
Four o'clock.
Matters wear a serious ap The Archbishop's Palace has
been again the object of attack, and completely gutted by the people,
aided by As Gera Nationale. The entire of the furniture was
thrown into the Seine, with all the books of the library ; the leaves
of which at one time covered the whole surface of the river. Several of
the people, mounted on the Archbishop's borses, and attired in the as.
=dotal vestments, parade the streets, mocking the attitudes sod ges-
tures of the Clergy in giving benedictions, die.
I have just heard, but cannot aedit it, that the people will be al-
lowed to sack the churches. I know that all the churches hi my quar-
ter are surrounded, and protected by the National Guards. The drums
beat incessantly, and the city is patrolled by at least 30,000 National
Guards. Several arrests have taken place—among others M. Ferdinand
Berthier (who affixed his Cross of the Legion of Honour to the Cata-
falque), M. de VitroUss and bl. de Cauny--all three ex. Deputies of
the Cote Drolt.
