terday, for the trial of Nicholas Nolan and Michael
Burke, wbose'irial it will be recollected was post-
poned at the Ses.ions holden in July last, in conse-
quence of the Prosecutor not. being then able to
attend. The Prisoners are. private soldiers belonging
he the 86th. Regiment ; and the Prosecutor, Pierre
Delplatique, is a fishermast, a native of France, re-
siding at a small port near Boulogne. The Prisoners
were charged with having on the 16th 'January lasi,
robbed tl.e Proisicutor on the Kisses highway in the
parish of St. Mary, North-gate, iii this City, of op-
wards of 91. iosilver. The substance of the charge
es follows:—The Prosecutor, acccompanied by an-
other Frenchman, came to this city from Ramsgate,
where they' had arrived leith a small cargo of chesnuts
end-walnuts, for the purpose of disposing of their
merchandize.—/The Frenchmen being unacquainted
with the Englisl language, the Prisoner Nolan,

In the 2d he say.—;-"Ther' public spirit in. the
country is decidedly in favour of your Majesty's
Government. The public-functionaries are obliged
to use their authority'to protect the Ex-Nobles, or
those who are believed not to be devoted to your
Majesty. In the town, the chief citizens who had
loudly declared for the Bourbons, have seen the late
events with much composure. A few dismissals from
office, and some measures of Police, have sufficed
to silents the few who have too loudly expressed
opinions contrary to the Government. The volun-
tary enrolments are few ; there have been only 18
since March.

46 The Extraordinary Commissioner has changed
almost all the functionaries In the department.
" The Judicial Authorities are mostly in opposi-
tion to Government, hut they have no authority or
influence, because the High Police has the cognizance
of political crimes."
M. It. commends the Ordinance of M. Moreau,
commanding the Nobles to appear at the chief town
of the department in ten days, under pain of having
their property sequestrated. Though the Minister
of Police blames it, yet it has done much good.
In that from Bourdem, he recommends that the
gaming-gooses should be farmed out in order to get
money. There is a man, he says, who offers 20,000
francs per month for the licence, and this money
would enable General Clausel to form a good Po-
lice, and pay the Federes without charge to Govern.
ment. A Report from M. Real, Prefect of the Po.
lice, is uninteresting.
Another from the same gives an account of the
sitting of the Chamber of Representatives on 12th of
June, not interesting ; it begins—
" Numerous and noisy assembly—audience well
composed—some well-dressed women."

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday an Inquest was
held at the %Vbite Lion, in liemming's-row, St.
Martin's-lane, on the body. of James Jervis, a youth,
17 years of age, apprentice to Mr. Valpy, printer, of
Took's.courr, Cursitor.street, who was drowned in
the Thames on Sunday afternoon. The body was
found in the mud close to one of the barges, near
Hangerford-stairs, at five o'clock on Tuesday even-

The most active preparations are- making for dm
opening of the Winter Theatres. There is to be nci
alteration in the price of admission at either [louse.'

At the Appleby Assizes there was only one pri-
soner, Mary Ann Jenkinson, charged with stealing
six heifers. She was sentenced to death, but after-
wards reprieved, and sentenced to two years impri.
sonment.

ELOPEMENT.—Wednesday; as the carriage of the
Hon. Colonel s—, was proceeding along the road.to.
wards his country residence near Clontarf, close to
Dublin, an alarm was given that the springs had
snapped, and that the carriage was in imminent den.
I ge r of oversetting; the family, to avoid the impend-
; iog danger, got but with the utmost pieeipitance,
and were assisted by those who gave the alarm ;.it
turned out to be a fuss de guerre, practised by a gal=
lava son of Mars, who, having a post-carriage at hand,.
with the assistance of his confederates,'-handed the
Colonel's lovely daughter into it, and drove off with
his fair prize. The gallant Captain belongs to one of
the most distinguished regiments in the service, and
braved the danger of the late t.Omendous conflict.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT. —On Wednesday last, as Co-
lonel Ss—was coining into town with his family, from
his seat near.Clontsrf, he was alarmed by a matt oil
the road, .who.catled out that the spring-of the carri-
age was just btoken, and. that they were in the
greatest danger of being overturned, on which the
company instantly' hastened out of the carriage.
They had scarcely alighted, when three men rushed
forward and seized•one-of the Ladies; the daughter
of Colonel S—,•and bore her into a chaise, which
immediately drove off. The Lady had•beenmarried
about four:years-age to a Captain but in con.
sequence of tome differences they had not cohabited
for the last two years. The Captain was identified
to be the leader of the party. Informations were I
tendered against him at two of -the Offices, but re-
fused, as the Magistrates thought it would he cruel
to separate those whom Heaven had joined together.
DISTRERSINO ACCIDCNT.—As Mr. S. Togldll,.jun.
of Irishman Farm, in the neighbourhood of 'few kes_
bury, Upton, Gloucestershire, was returning home
from reaping a few days ago, having in his possession 1
a gun, which he had taken out with him in the merit- I
ing for the purpose of shooting birds off the corn, and
perceiving a rabbit, he fired at it. A gamekeeper
named Salter seeing this act, demanded-the farmer's
gun, which lie refused giving; the gamekeeper endea- I
