The Gazette du Midi, of the 6th of March, published at Marseilles, contains a petition, signed by thirty partisans of the Jesuits, and addressed to the Chamber of Peers, praying that M.M.

The Governor of the island of Bourbon has been commissioned to examine and report upon the capabilities of the Bay of Arfila or Amfila, near Massanah, in the Red Sea, which M.

In the Prerogative Court Sir H. J. Fu. gave judgment against the admissibility to probate of a paper propounded as the last will of Mrs. Susanna Ireland, wife to the late Dean of Westminster. The Learned Judge also pronounced against the validity of a paper dated September 20, 1842, which was propounded as the will of Daniel Stock. William Shaw was remanded for seven months by the Chief Commissioner of the Insolvent Court, on account of unliquidated damages in an action of seduction. A long investigation took place at the Guildhall, into the conduct of Mr. Izod, the auctioner, and Mr. Lewis, the sheriff's officer, who appeared before Mr. Alderman Farebrother, to answer the complaint of Mr. William Cole, of Clapton, respecting the substitution of a diamond ring of little value, for one of greater value, part of the effects of his brother ( Mr. Frederick S. Cole, late a wine• merchant in the City), seized and sold under an execution, by order of the Sheriff of Middlesex. Mr. Lewis stated that the genuine watch and ring were in the possession of Mr. Harding, a solicitor, and the case was adjourned in order to secure that gentleman's attendance.  At Marlborough-street, John Lomas, a bird dealer, appeared before Mr. Maltby to undergo a final examination en a charge of having stolen a cloak from the house of Mr. Squirrell, Margaret-street, Cavendish-square. On his first examination three persons swore positively to him as the man whom they had seen in Mr. Squirrell's house, and a pawnbroker swore that Lomas had pledged the property with him. To rebut this, the prisoner produced a host of witnesses, some of whom knew that he had not left his house At all on the day of the robbery, and with regard to the pawning, a respectable watchmaker, at Lewisham, swore that he was purchasing a bird of the prisoner at that place, at the very hour that the pawnbroker stated lie was in his shop. On further inquiry being made, the innocence of the poor fellow was completely proved, and Mr. Maltby discharged him without the slightest imputation on his character. He is, however, nearly ruined, for, in consequence of his imprisonment on this unfounded charge, his stock and trade have been almost anaihilated.
