Prance. The French Minister A T Berne Ha...
PRANCE . The French minister a t Berne has recived initruciions from his government to present energetic remonstrances to tbe Swiss government on the accumulation of democratic emigrants , who are ready within the Swiss frontier to take advantage of the first outbreak to join the expected rising in France . Theseinstructions are said to have been sent in consequence of discoveries made in the investigation of
tbe Riots of the Cher and Aiiier . EouT members of tbe Mountain , MM . Greppo , Hadaud , Leroux , and Sartin , having visited Moulius together have been , during the whole of their stay , dogged by a sort of escort of gendarmes , who mvcr let these representatives out ol sig ht . A Liberal member oi the French parliament is subjected to as Close a surveillance b y tbe authori ties as a d , st , n ~ guished member of the swell mob in London by Bow-street officers .
The number of persons now in prison on the charge of having been concerned in the late riots in the department of the Cher exceeds 100 , most oi whom will , it is said , be broug ht before a courtmartial . . The Presidential candidatesbip of M . Ledru-Kollin is beginning to be p laced on the order of the day in some quarters of Paris . For some days past grett . aciivHy baa been displayed on this subject by penons attached to a so-called revolutionary journal . The workmen do not appear much disposed to exert themselves in favour of any personal ambition , but they declare that they are resolved to exercise their electoral right in 1852 .
The new minister of war , General St . Arnaud , has addressed a circular to the generals commanding the territorial divisions , in which ha says : — 1 , more than ever , true military spirit may secure the salvation of society . But this confidence which the army inspires it owes to its discipline * , and we all know , General , that there would be no discipline in an army where the dogma of passive obedience should be rep laced by tbe right of eta * mutation , ' * An order being discussed leads to hesitation , and hesitation to defeat . Under arms , military rule is the only law . The responsibility which constitutes military force and authority is not divided ; it belongs to the chief , from whom tbe order emanates , and it covers obedience and execution through all ranks , In this simple princi ple , which is the soul Of discipline , resides tbe
source of prodig ies of valour and devotion . Ii , before an enemy , discip line thus understood has always been one of the secrets of victory , ia intestine struggles it also secures tbe triumph ol order . One cannot choose one ' s time ; our fathers , more happy than vre , saw public order revive and strengthen itself under tbe reflection of military glory , ft is to the defence of civilisation that we now owe our blood and our watchfulness . Be , therefore , ready for all , and whether it be to defend abroad , the honour of our arms in the name of the Country , or at home when society in peril should seek for our firm support , let these sentiments which animate me , and which are also your own , and which are felt ia the ranks of the army , maintain it equal 16 its double mission . Receive , General , tbe assurance of my most distinguished consideration . —The Minister of War . '
General d'Alphonso , commander of the Cher , under state of siege , has published two decrees , the first of which interdicts all political meetings , sing ing of revolutionary songs , agitation of foreigners , sale of powder , and detention of arms ; all rural taverns are to be closed at nine in tbe evening , aud cafes in the towns at ten . The other edicts dissolves tbe national guard . An arrest of considerable importance bas been effected in relation to the riots of the Cher and Nievre . The Visconnt de Dreuilie , a young legitimist , was arrested on Satttifiay , in bis yacht , at flooflsur , and conveyed to Paria . Two country mansions belonging ; to this family , one in the ^ ivernais , and the other in Burgundy , have been searched , and a quantity of ammunition and sixteen bullet moulds were found . M . de Dreuille
only lasi year succeeded to an income of £ 4 , 000 per annum . During the time of the provisional government he is said to ha *< e frequented democratic clubs , but since his accession of fortune it bas always been thought that he had resumed his place is the ranks of tbe most aristocratic legitimists . Oa his arrival in custody at his residence in the Rue Richer , he begged to see the Minister of tbe Interior , before being conducted to prison at Bourges . The citizen Blauqui complains that all bis correspondence is regularly seized at tbe Lille postoffice . THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE . Par i s , Tuesday . —The President ' s Message has befn presented to the National Assembly . It announces the existence of a Democratic
conspiracy in France and in Europe . It states that the government has been compelled to place two departments in a state of siege where there had been attempts at a ' Jacquerie . ' It further states that the finances of the country are in as favourable a condition as circumstances will permit , and that Prince Albert and the English nation have g iven a generous reception to tbe representatives of French industry . The President recommends tbe repeal of tbe law of the 31 st of May as the only means of obtaining a egai solution of the difficulties with which the future is fraught . After the Message a draught of a bill prepared in tbe above ssnsa by the Ministers was submitted to the Assembly , and the urgence demanded for its discussion .
M . Berryer opposed the motion , and the urgence was finally rejected by the Assembly . Paris , Wednesday . —The following are the names of the president and vice-presidents elected yesttrday : M . Dupin , president ; M . M . Eedeau , Daru , and Benoiis d'Azy , vice-presidents . ^ The Assembly ' s vote of yesterday , by which urgency for the new electoral hill was rejected , implies aot onl y the defeat of the ministry on tbe cardinal point cf its policy , but the rejection of the bill in its first stage . This is the prologue to endless delay .
TbU vote is , indeed , tbe first blow in a tremendous strangle between the conservative league , composed of the regentiats and legitimists , against the President , backed by tbe Left and tbe extreme Right , wliile the party of the 'Journal des Dsbats , ' foimiog the bulk of tbe club of the Py ramids , wavir \ n a position of neutrality . The meeting at M . Daru ' s last ni g ht is the first step taken to shield tbe governinent from tbe fury of tbe new conservative opposition , led by Barryer and Thiers . Every day this opposition must , by the force of things , become weafcer . There wiil be sue ? ' demonstration * throughout the country as will show that such an attitude on tite side ol the parliament eaa ouiy fcad to civil war ; for the law of May 31 is doomed , and delay in its abrogation will not be brooked by the democratic parly .
The ' National * says : — ' The hour ot ' reparation has struck to-day , and sounds to our ears like the funeral saei ' of reaction .
ITALY . ROME . —Our advicss from Home are to the 24 th u't . They state that a few days ago a prisoner named O & rsi was informed by a gendarme that his room was < o be subjected to a rigorous search , to which Cwsi replied , that he was perfectly read y , and requ-.-sied tha ^ two witnesses might be present during tbe opetntion—ibe « endarme objected to this , aai was for CGBimesieiwg i . navedia ' . t ' . y , had not the prisoner remonstrated , stating that , if nn witnsssas were present , things might he laid to his charge of which he was by no means euilty . Irritated at ibis insinuation the gendarme entered into a viiknt altercation with Corsi . and struck him a violent blow oa the head , inffciing a wound ol such graviiy that the unfonmia'e prisoner had fo be traaiported to tha iafirsttary , where the surgeon , to 8
cr .-t ; - ! jhe gendarme , made no report on the j »* e . Aj such a thing could not be long bidden , nowever . it came to the knowledge of the prison auihomi-s , who punished tha surgeon for his nedi-Xence i > y a ^ mp k adraoaition , whilst the gendarme was apparentl y chastised by being removedI from the P smice , but in rta , y > Teward 5 d by being trans erred into the horse gendarmerie , „ stel mually k-oked upon as * promotion by the Umbers of that corl . Another political prisoner , also in « : nnn ? sent at San Mienele . -ho is extremelv unwell from the ( fleets of a kick inflicted upon him oj a sbirro , and who is not full y persuaded of tbe njf dieai sagacity of the prison surgeon , to whose conduct we have just alluded , recent !? petitioned to be attended by Dr . Feb ' ciani , one of the first Roman practitioners in surgical cases . Hfa request bas been refused . .

them , bas just been illustrated by so striking an example that it would be incredible in any other country but this . Our readers may recollect that a * r eat s ? nsaiion was produced about a year ago , in learned and areh ' eological , circles , by the discovery that the valuable collection of metals at the Vatican bad been plundered of some of its rarest treasures in the way of gold coins . The republican authori . ties were of course immediately charged with having committed this robbery ; but , upon a strict judicial inquiry into- tbe matter , the real delinquent was found to be Signer Diamilla , a piotege of Cardinal La ^ brosehi ' ni ' s , * devoted creature of the MeW > faction , who owed tbe official situation he held is tbe
I library , to the influence of the cardinal . The offence was so glaring that even apostolic mildness could not overtook it , aud Signer Diamilla was convicted and condemned to the galleys for twenty years . Meanwhile poor Monsignor Laureani , the head librarian , and a man of very considerable merit , took so much to heart the charge of negligence , which was naturally brought against him for not having kept a sharper look out over his subordinates , that he fell ill and died , bis death being universally attributed to his exceeding grief at the occurrence . When the culprit Diamilla was imprisoned , his father , « k <\ occupies tbe post of chief usher , at tbe papal court , was heard to thank God that his son
was accused neither of political nor reli gions of-( earn , aa every other kind oi transgression could be got over with time and influence . In the castle of St . Angelo , Diamilla immediately endeavoured to atone for his crime , by commencing the part of prison spy , and his society was in const qofrnce cautiously avoided by the political deimm . After the removal of tbe prisoners from the castle to other places of confinement , the worthy amateurof medals devoted his leisure hours to the composition of an article in support of the papacy , which appeared two or three months ago in the * Arcadian Journal . ' The papal throne must indeed be reduced when it is forced to have recourse to the homage oi robbers and galley slaves ! The repentant efforts of Signer
Diamilla have not been unnoticed , and-the sigmflcant prediction of his father has just been verified by the clemency of Pio Nono . That benevolent pontiff , at the auu ; u . estion of several influenzal prelates , has been pleased to pardon the culprit , Who is now actually at liberty , and will be provided with a passport for leaving the country in a day or two , and will probably serve his government as spy in foreign parts and very likely earn a pension by tbe importance of bis revelations . Will Colonel Calan drelli . whose term of condemnation for most trifling and unproved peculations was likewise twenty years ' imprisonment , meet with equal indulgence ? Or tbe young men who made the Bengal lights , only one of whom has been pardoned as yet ? Let us hope SO , for the credit of his Holiness .
From a notification of the 25 ih ult ., published at Venice , we learn that Count Agostino Guerrieri , of Verona , late of the 9 th Regiment of Austrian Hussars , convicted of having , two months ago , received an anonymous letter from revolutionary parties , and of not having given it up to the authorities ; and Baron Lutti , convicted of having advised Count Guirrrrieri to burn tbe said letter , and aiding him in so doing , have been condemned , on the count of hi gh treason , the former to ten , and the latter to two years' imprisonment in a fortress . It is added that Count Radetzky has reduced these sentences to half their term .
LOMBARDY . —The Austrian government has prohibited , throughout the Lombard-Venetian kingdom , the conveyance of the Piedmontese journal ' Opinions' through the post , not only for the interior , but on its passage to foreign countries , The government has carried its spite to such absurd lengths aa to prohibit subscrip tions from being received at the Milan post-office , paid on account of the ' Opinione' for Austrian newspapers , and papers addressed to the ' Opinione ' from being forwarded to the office of that journal . Tne ' Opinione ' is not a radical , but , as every one inows , a monarchic constitutional organ .
GERMANY . The ' Constituiionelle Zsitung of Dresden of the 27 th ult ., which published a report of the Westminster meeting in honour of M . Kossuih , was seized and suppressed by the police , by order of the . Minister of tbe Interior . The journal states that it gave only an abstract of the proceedings and expressed no opinion of its own on the subject of the debate , and denies that the matter seized comes under tbe provision of the taw on the authority of which the minister issued the order . . The official'Dresdener Journal' condense * all the reports of tbe proceedings in England , at Southampton and elsewhere , to
half a line , stating that' M . Kossuth bad landed' as the above-named portt Within a month five different works , published by the firm of Otto Wigand and Co ., at Leipzig , have been seized , and the sale prohibited . aAmong them is the work of General Klapka on the war in Hungary and in the Siebenburgen . M * Wigand intended to make a strong representation to the government of the ruin such seizures would bring on the publishing business , which employs in Leipzig an immense number Of individuals . Immediately after Kiapka ' d work bad been seized and put under tbe seal of the police , an order for it arrived from Marshal Radettki . In
tbe month of June last no lets thari thirty-two Ger man works were prohibited by the Russian govern ment , some of them the same as those recently pro hibited by the Papal States .
SWEDEN . Frrquent allusions have been made to discussions which have arisen in Sweden between the chambers of tbe clergy aud the nobility on tbe one band , and those of the peasants and burgesses on the other , on tbe subjects of some reforms proposed by the government , and which had been adopted by the Fatter orders , and rejected by the former . The clergy and the nobility have just gained the decided advantage . The crown bas leaned to their side , and has just modified tbe cabinet by dismissing one of the ministers as more especially representing the party of progress . Count Goran Dctlof-Moerker , Minisi er of Finance , lias been replaced by Baron Othon Palrastierna , a member of the retrogarie party . Count Detlof-Moeiker has , however , been named a member Of the Council Oi State , with a consultative vote .
SPAIN . Madrid . —This unhappy country is already beginning to feel tbe effects of the power so imprn dently given to the clergy . Tbe ' Gazette' contains the following royal order . ' On account of the antisocial and irreligious character of the periodical published in this city under the title of the " Europa , " the Queen has been pleased to order , in accordance with the opinion of the council of ministers , that the said periodical he suppressed . ( Signed ) Bertran DE Lis . ' This royal order was given , we are informed , somewhat reluctantly , in pursuance of the nrgenc demands of the Pope ' s nuBCio Monaignor BruneUi , whose attention had been called by the Spanish clergy to several well-written articles in
the 'Europa' on the concordat , and to one especiall y in favour oi the national guard , and in which the clergy and thtir tendencies are very severely handled . This is not , unfortunately , tbe only example of clerical tyranny . _ The Professor of ., Natural Phir losophy in one of tbe principal universities of Spain has been deprived of his professorship , in consequence of the complaints of the Bishop of Orense , who accused tbe professor of heretical doctrines . The suppression of the * Europa * is attributed by the friends of the government to tbe fact that information had been received that the journal was supported by the funds of the Mazzini party , that it was about to be published at a piceta a month , and that extensive distributions were to be made of it throughout the country .
PORTUGAL . We have news by the Montrose that H . M . S . Jauus having heard of the p lunder of a British brig , sailed , on the lfth ultimo from Gibraltar , and after reconnoitring opened a heavy fire on tbe p irates , who assembled in great force on the 20 th , Tbe Janus discovered some of the pirate boats , when Lieut . Powell landed ins shi p ' s company , under fire of the Janua ' s guns , to destroy them . He effected this purposej but he and seven of his crew were severely wounded , and above a hundred musket balls were lodged in the Junu-. ' j hull and decks .
MALTA . The ' Malta Mail * of the 17 th ult . states that M . Rcstand , a merchant of Marseilles , started for Naples , with his famil y , intending to make a abort itay there . On the arrival of the steamer at Nap les , all passengers , with the exception of M . Rostand , were allowed to land . He alone was kept on board . He remon & t aed , but in vain . A message was sent to the French Ambassador , but unfortunatel y his excellency was out of town . . M , Rostand succeeded in landing after some time , but was soon accosted and questioned as to how be had ' dared to land . He insisted upon being taken to the nearest commissary of police , and at last was allowed , as a favour , jo reach the office . He had hardl y entered when he wis met with the question : 'Are you act M .
Prance. The French Minister A T Berne Ha...
Rostand ? Do you not live * * *?» m . Rostand answered , 'I do not live there , but the office ot my firm is in the place you mention . ' U pon this the commissary said : ' You must go on board ; you had no business to come on shore ; if you stay here any longer , I shall put you in prison ; in the meantime 1 shall arrest all those who allowed you to get so far as this . If you . want any satisfaction , you must apply to your minister . ' There , was no help for it . M . Rostand bad to r < turn to the
steamer as fast as he could , and with tbe steamer he had to come on here . It appears that the sins urged against M . Rostand consisted in . the part taken by the Rostand steamers in carrying ammunition and guns from Marseilles , and Malta to Sicil y during the late Sicilian revolution . But does this justify the conduct of the Neapolitan government to M . Rostand . And will the {" reach government suffer with impunity such an insult to one of its subjects .
UNITED STATES . We have had advices up to the 22 nd ult . Extensive preparations have been made for the reception of Kossuth , not oniy in New York , but in many other cities . He will be welcomed with civic and military pageants and popular enthusiasm unexampled . The examination of the parties arrested for being engaged in the late rescue of a fugitive slave at Syracuse , N . Y . , bas been concluded , and five whites and three blacks have been held for trial , not on the chrrge of treason , but of misdemeanour , in violating the Fugitive Slave Law . The bail for the whites has liee < -n fiXftd at 2 , 000 dollars each , and for the blacks at 500 dollars . It is expected that more arrests will be made .
The Illinois has arrived at New York from California with one million eight hundred thousand dollars in gold dust . This arrival sensibl y affected the market , and as we have intelligence that equally largi ; remittances are on the way to tbe United States , by othrr steamers , the financial difficulties of which we spoke in a former number are tempo rarity TMUoved , On a review of ths news brougb by the Illinois , it appears that business was exceedingly dull at San Franci & co , but that the miners were making more money than ever . The trade to China , by means of clipper-built ships , was rapidly improving . The Americans arc congratulating themselves on the sudden . emigration from California to Australia , in consequence of the discovery of the gold there .
The immediate secessionists in Sauth Carolina have met with an overwhelming defeat at the late election . We may consider them as entirely hors de combat . One of the military spectacles in which , the Americana so much deli ght took , place on the 21 st ult . What is termed the first New York division of the militia turned out to be reviewed by the governor of the state . Twelve regiments appeared iu full uniform , with their respective bands , and the streets were lined with gratified spectators . There is an irregular volunteer force in this city , not belonging to the regular militia , which is constantly seen in detachments , going oa target excursions , that are 12 , 000 in number besides . It is supposed that the city of New York could bring into the field , in three days , 75 , 000 men , armed and equipped for active service .
CANADA . The Canadian cabinet is at last arranged aJ follows : —President of Council , Malcolm Cameron ; Commissioner of Crown Lands , Dr . Rolph ; Inspector-General , Hon . F . Hincks ; Postmaster-General , Hon . W . Morris ; Provincial Secretary , Mr . Moiin ; Attorn & V'General for Canada . East , Mr . L . Druramond ; ' for Canada West , W . B . Richards ; Solicitor-General for Canada East , Mr . Cartier ; for Canada West , Hon . John Ross ; Receiver-General , Mr . Tache . The tory press are in a rage at the appointment of Dr . Rolph to a p lace in the government ; on the other hand the ultra radicals regard his alliance with Mr . Hincks as an act of treason to progressive principles .
The ceremony of turning the first sod on the Toronto and Lake Huron railway took place at Toronto on tbe 15 th October in the presence of an immense multitude . The Countess of Elg in turned tbe snd with a silver spade , and Lord Elgin wheeled it off ia a barrow not of silver . MEXICO . By telegraphic despatches from New Orleans at New York , we have the following information rerespecting the revolution in northern Mexico . On the 16 th October Carvajol . was wltHn ten miles of Matamoras with a very large force , numbering , it is said , not less than 10 , 000 men , including about 400 Texan rangers . It was fully expected that he would attack the city on the foiWjng morning . The only force the Mexicans j-elied upon for defence was a band of Indians commanded by Wild Cat , the Seminole chief .
CHILI . The ' Panama Star' contains an account of the arrival of a French bri g , the Marie Louise , from Callao , whence she sailed on the 20 ih September , The steamer Chili has just arrived in that harbour from Valparaiso , bringing the important but unpleasant information that a revolution had broken out in Chili , and that HHmy oi the troops bad declared in favour of General Santa Cruz for president , that Coqr . imbo and other cities were in possession of the new party , and that everything throughout the republic was in a disorganised state .
THE KAFFIR WAR . Plymouth , Wednesday , Nov . 5 . —The General Steam Screw Shi pping Company ' s fine steamship Bosphorus , Captain J . Y . Hal ) , arrived here this morning , having made a splendid passage ol only thirty-five days . The intelligence from the frontier is still more alarming than that by the Birkenhead , tbe revolt and disturbances having spread front the mouth of the Buffalo to Mosbeth s country and the Basutos . An aggravating feature in the last fatal attack on our troops , by combined Hottentots and Kaffirs , was the employment by the former of fierce dogs , which pulled dawn seviial of our troops , and rendered them an casv piey to the clubs of their
enemies . Captain Oldham and many men of the 2 nd Queen ' s Reg iment have been slain , and the 74 th bas lost some men . The severe losses of the British troops on the 9 th of September have induced the inhabitants of Graham ' s Town to mafcs a demonstration of their strength . Accordingly , on the 18 th a muster of the adult population took place , aud they formed a single line of cavalry and a double , line cf infantry on the town lands . On the 20 h they were to muster again , to elect t . fiicirs , preparatory for any attack by the Kaffirs . They were in great want of artillery .
Bread has risen to- 50 per Cfilt . at the Cape , and a further rise is expected on the arrival of more troops .

The Inauguration Of Tbe Church Of St. Le...
The inauguration of tbe church of St . Leu laverny , a village in ( lie ueighb . ourh . ood , of Paris , from which the father oi Louis Napoleon drew the title of Count de St . Lsu , gave the President an occasion for attending a sort of a Uonapartist . demonstration of a family Hind on Friday last . The new building is erected on the site of the old one , in which the remains of the Emperor ' s father were deposited , with those oi Louia Bonaparte , the King of Holland , and two of bis sons . It cost six thousand pounds sierlinit . of which two thousands were granted by the Assembly , and the rest furnished by the President . A considerable collection was made for the poor by the Princess Matilde .
It is said lhat a mass waa performed at St ' . 'Cloud by order of the President for the repose of the sou I ofthe Duchess d'Aogouleme . The Correctional Tribunal of . Moatpellier has been occupied with the trial of . the . " persons concerned in the uisiurbsncfis at Lunel . Seven were condemned to different periods of imprisonment , varying from six months to ten days , and three others acquitted . A correspondent writing from Paris on the 1 st inst ., says : — ' This day is one of the great festivals of the Catholic church , the feast of All Saints . It is dedicated by immemorial usage to the
remembrance of the dead , and the ceremonious honour of theit memory . The spacious cemeteries are thronged with families ' who come to leave some token of pious regre' , to breathe some prayer , to deposit some crown upon the gravps . of their departed members . Nor is raournfulness altogether the characteristic of this fete . It is on tbe contrary rather of a cheerful kind ; and in the avenues of crowded tombs you might meet smiling groups , gaily dressed , bearing a profusion of yellow rings of amaranths upon their arms , upon each of which is dyed in black some dedicatory inscription , A ma mere , A ma tceur , A man man , A mon je , Regrefs , Souvenir .

little casts , chaplets of artificial fl iwers , or ovals framed and glazed of weeping willows and such sad emblems wrought in hair , to lay within the sepulchral shrines . The spaces between graves are thickly strewn with ' theyellow fallen sycamoreleaves , which recall the Homeric comparison : As the generations of leaves , i-uch are those of men . " All the streets leading to the cemeteries seem like a bazaar stocked . with the- furniture of death , monumental marbles , wreaths , imagery , crosses , and coloured prints of saints . Many a poor famil y bas spent to-day its earnings for the week to replace the withered garlands hung last year at the same
sad spot . All along the outer boulevards , from Montmarire . to Pere la Chaise it seems one vast stream of people pouring this way and that along the pavement , whose edge . is . occupied by lellows bawling the catalogue of samw , turning over gaudy religious prints , or extending plaster images to the passers by . Such is the aspect of this celebrated festival , the observance of which has been favoured to-day b y the most brilliant weather , ' A smart shock of earthquake , was felt on the ] 2 . h ult . at Lecce , Bari , Taranto , Barletta , Canosa and Cerhjnola . Jt lasted about six seconds , and had an undutatory motion frora west to east . Fortunately no disastrouscousequences are recorded
of it . ' ' A new progrcslsta evening paper , Of greater dimensions than are usual in Madrid , bas appeared . It is very vigorousl y . written , and as it is addressed to the common understanding and ia cheap enough for village purses , it has obtained a very great circulation . It has had the skill as yet to escape confiscation , though its columns are keenly scanned by the police authorities . lis articles on the concordat are producing a great effect on the public mind .
So great is the dearth of fountain water in Madrid that the inhabitants an ; constrained to drink that of the wells , which is so saturated with earthly salts , that it is very deleterious . The Mauzanares is all but dried up . . The provincial papers lament tho same dearth of water , and forbode dreadful calamities if it be much longer prolonged . A letter from jVienna , dated the 24 ih uU ., published in the 'Ausburg . Gazette , ' announces an approaching interview between the Emperor ot Aus'ria and the . King of Naples . Iv says : 'ft is most likel y that the King and Queen of Naples will arrive her ( Vienna ) as soon as the Emperor returns from Galicia . Prince Petru . Ha , the Neapolitan envoy at Vienna , has received private letters informing him of bis sovereign ' s impending visit . '
A melancholy account has reached us ot the terrible effects of the recent gale in the vicinity ol Nova Scotia . Tbe remains of sixty persons who were lost during the storm are said to have been buried in one grave . No less than one hundred and sixty vessels , of all . kinds , are reported io have been wrecked , among which we nou ' ee one Russian ship stranded and condemned , and one Eng lish shi p said to be buried in the sand .
Charge Of Forgery At Rochester,.—At The ...
Charge of Forgery at Rochester ,. —At the sitting of magistrates at the Guildhall , - Rochester , Mr . Austin Robert Stact , , of Swoon , ironmonger , was charged with having ' forged < t bill of exchange for £ 340 , purporting to be accepted by Messrs . Cheettiam and Gill , shipbuilders iu the neighbourhood . —Mr . Stephenson , solicitor , explained , that tbe prosecutors were shi p builders at Frindsbury ; that in July , ! Si 9 , a deed was entered into between them , and Messrs . French and Stace ; . by which the latter consented to advance money iit a certain per centuge , and . wbioh deed gave them great powers . He said it had been recently ; iscevtained that bills of exchange- were in existence bearing the prosecutors ' names , , in consequence of
which they went to London , where four bills were traced , purpoi tine to be accepted by them—two for £ 300 , one for £ 310 ,. and one for £ 350 12 s . 4 d . — which they believed to have buen accepted in the handwriting Of Staoe , and Which they repudiated ; The ono in question was dated the ' Sth of June , 1851 , and inade payable at the London County Bank , tho holders of which were Messru . Barclay Bevan , and Co ., of Lombard-street , and purporting to be accepted by Ch ' eethamand Gill . —Mr , William Shaw , clerk to Mr . Curtis , solicitor of Hanoi' - diishora' Hall , London , produced the bill of exchange , which they had received from Barclay and Co . about , a fortnight ago . — Cross-examined b y Mr , Hawkins : We . have issued a writ against Stace
for this acceptance , and also against Uheetham and Gill , ami the actions are now pending . —Mr . George Cheetham and Mr , G . VY . Gill were both examined , both of whom denied having authorised the accused to accept bills in their names . Mr . Hawkins handed in the deed bearing date July 2 . 1849 , from which it appeared that , an arrangement was entered into between Ciieetbam . and Gill on the one part , and French and Stace on the other , in which the latter undertook to advance money at 30 per cent , interest ; whilst in another covenant the former made over the plant and machinery at the Shipyard to French and Stace as security f or such advances . —Mr . David French , of Chatham , coalmerchaut , who was called by Mr . Stephenson , said , he had been in the habit of sending bills for acceptance to Stace , drawn on "Cheetham , Gill , and
Co . On theSth June he drew one ,. ana his orders were , if Cheetham was not in tho way to go on to Stace . The acceptance produced , he said , was in Stace s hanuYmtifig . The mayor said he thought sufficient had been stated to send the case to a more competent tribunal , and asked the defendant " if he had anything to say to the charge , " when it was intimated that lie intended to reserve his defence . — Mr . . Hawkins , addressing the l . ench , said : If the magistrates have determined on sending tho ense to a- jury , the less I say now ihe better , as I am not desirous of giving those parties who appear against us , the opportunity of fabricating a tale for the uuvpose of refuting that which , is lona fide a defence . Mr . Stace believes he has a perfect defence to make to the charge , and if the whole case had been gone into to-day , I have no doubt the court would hive been unanimous
in dismissing it . I am , however , most anxious to say , as it might be to tbe prejudice of the defendant , that 1 trust those parties whose attention may bo drawn to the case , will for the present suspend their judgment . The accused was then bound over in tbe sum of £ 300 and two sureties of £ 150 each , to appear and take his trial at the next assizes . Death o ?
