the House of Commons without taking the Oath of Abjuration . Under the direction of the presiding judge , Baron Martin , the counsel on either side , "Sergeant Channell and Sir Fitzroy Kelly , agreed to turn the facts of the case into a special verdict . In this form the question at issue between the parties , which turns entirely upon the construction of various statutes , will be brought before the judges . In the course of next term ( savs the Times ) we may expect a conclusive settlement of this intricate and troublesome question . A public meeting of the inhabitants of Newcastle was held in the Lecture-room , on Monday evening , the 8 th instant , Mr . Gunn in the chair . The following resolution was nroposed . by Mr . Watson , supported by Messrs .
Charlton , Thomas , and Harney , and carried by acclamat j on : « Resolved , That the solidarity of the peoples being a great truth , and the fraternity of the nations a creat duty , the persons composing this meeting feel called upon , individually and collectively , to declare their heartfelt sympathy for all the oppressed peoples of Europe . That foremost amongst the betrayers and opposers o our brethren stands the perjured usurper Bonaparte ; and inasmuch as he has treacherously and forcibly overthrown the liberties so gloriously achieved by the French people in February , 1848—having extinguished the parliamentary representation , the press , and all the other guarantees of freedom ; having , to consummate his treason , let loose a bribed and brutal soldiery upon an unarmed people , whose blood he has caused to flow in torrents , he has stamped and proclaimed himself
perjurer , traitor , brigand , and assassin—an enemy not only to France , but to the world ; and , as such , worthy of the execration and vengeance of the human race . That in the pursuit of freedom and justice , the peoples are bound to aid each other ; that the existing aristocratical Government of Great Britain is the great obstacle in the way of the people of this country performing their duty to their brethren ; therefore it is the bounden duty of the unrepresented millions to forthwith struggle for , and win , democratic parliamentary reform , based upon universal and equal representation . " Rear-Admiral Houston Stewart has issued an address to the electors of Greenwich , declaring his intention of coming forward as a candidate , in the event of Admiral Dundas being sent on foreign service * m Sir John Gladstone , baronet , died on Sunday , m his eighty-seventh yearat Fasque in Scotland .
, ^ Mr . George Dunbar , Professor of Greek Literature in the University of Edinburgh , died on Saturday , at Kosepark , Trinity . He had been ill some time . Mr . Basil Montague , Q . C ., died on the 27 th ultimo , at Boulogue in the eighty-second year of his age . He ¦ was the son of Lord Sandwich and Miss Margaret Reay , the subject of a tragic story . A young officer named Hachman became passionately attached to Miss Keay , he afterwards entered the Church , and begged her to marry him but in vain . Shejwas bound by affection to Lord Sandwich and to her children and would not desert him or them . Hackman armed with pistols then met her as she was leaving the theatre on the 7 th of April , 1779 , and shot her dead He levelled the other pistol at his own head but it missed fire . He was taken , tried , and hung . Lord Sandwich acted very nobly and tried to save him . But he refused all mediation and died on the gallows at
We understand that Mr . B . Peacock , Q . C ., is to have the appointment of Legal Member of the Supreme Council of India , rendered vacant by the death of the late Mr . Drinkwater Bethune .

The Count and Countess of Trapani are at Florence , where several balls have been given in their honour , The Countess is daughter of the Grand Duke . The Duke de Chambord , the Duchess deBerri , and the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia , are at Venice , where they will spend the winter . The English Minister at Vienna , Lord Westmoreland , has not yet been received by the Emperor , although his Majesty is having public receptions twice a week . 1 us is understood to be a slight offered him to avenge the reception of Kossuth in England . A conference for the establishment of preventive and reformatory schools , as the only means of checking the procreHS of juvenile crime , was held at Uirtning-Lm on Wednesday . Mr . Recorder Hill occupied the chair In the evening a public meetin K was held , at which resolutions for the above object were agreed to .

on Monday , and five men lost their lives . The men were removing the stock when the roof fell in , and floor after floor crashed down without the least warning . A young man named Ricketts who had been drinking with Bush , the milkman found murdered near Bath , has been arrested on suspicion . An iHquest has been held on the body of the plasterer killed on the 29 th ultimo , by the fall of a large portion of a pile of buildings in Gloucester-road , Kensington . It was clearly proved on the inquest , which terminated on Monday , that very bad materials had been used ; that the district surveyor had warned the owner , Mr .
Inderwick ; and that Mr . Bean , the architect , had also been duly warned . In the face of these facts , the jury returned a special verdict : — " We find that Robert Woolen was accidentally killed by the falling of the cornice of the parapet of certain houses , the property of Mr . John Inderwick , situated in Gloucester-road , Kensington , upon the 29 th of November , 1851 ; and we further find , that the cause of the accident was by reason of the bad materials furnished by Mr . Inderwick . We also find that Mr . Bean , the surveyor , was to blame for having permitted the works to proceed under such circumstances . "
A riot of navvies took place at Grantham , on Wednesday . They were on strike for an advance of wages , and were deemed sufficiently dangerous to warrant the calling in of troops from Nottingham . The men were dispersed without resistance .

The Smithfield Club Cattle-Show has been held this week . As compared with the entries at the preceding show , the number at the present one shows a trifling diminution ; the falling off , however , in numbers is more than made up by the generally improved character of the stock exhibited . Probably at no previous exhibition has there been so much deserving of real praise , or _ more worthy the attention of those interested ia this important department of agricultural occupation of grazing , as in the present one . There is no feature more deserving of attention in the exhibition of the present year , than the specimens which illustrate the great advance which has been made in bringing young classes to an early maturity . Among oxen and steers a large preponderance of the prizes has been carried off by the Herefords ; and of cows and heifers , the most successful , as a class , have been the " short horns . "
Health Of London During The Week. (From ...
HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General ' s Report . ) The state of the public health , as indicated by a constant increase of mortality , is far from being favourable at the present time . During four weeks of November the deaths registered in the London districts increased in the following progression : —989 , 1022 , 1132 , 1279 ; and in the week ending last Saturday they rose to 1316 . During the same five weeks the deaths among old persons , of 60 years and upwards , have numbered successively 202 , 207 , 242 , 277 , and 305 . It will be seen
from a review of ten previous years ( 1841-50 ) that , in the week of 1847 corresponding to last week , influenza raised the deaths to 2454 ; but , with the exception of that year , they did not in any corresponding week exceed 1146 , and were generally much less . The average of the ten weeks was 1123 , and if corrected for increase of population , 1235 , compared with which the deaths of last week exhibit an excess of 81 . It is hardly necessary to remark that , if the unusual mortality of 1817 were excluded from the comparison , the result would be still more unfavourable for last week .

Saturday, December 6. The News From Pari...
Saturday , December 6 . The news from Paris is so little satisfactory , that we cannot do better than present our readers with a selection of the various editorial summaries of the morning journals , and the telegraphic despatches which arrived yesterday . The Morning Chronicle of this day writes : — " Louis Napoleon maintains his position with his characteristic courage and coolness ; but the news of another day has not diminished its danger . He still seems to stand on the verge of a precipice , with his feet planted upon ground which , in some parts , is trembling under the pressure . " In the leading columns of the Post we find a paragraph framed in the following mild and dicriminating language .
" The struggle in Paris between Authority and violence has been fiercer , but not less decisive , than we anticipated . That desperate spirit of insurrection which seems to recoil before no danger , and to shrink from attempting no impossibility , has received a terrible lesson from the vigorous , unhesitating , and well-directed power which it so madly defied . For two days the heavy boom of artillery , and the sharp rattle of the tirailleurs have proclaimed to the capital how stern a sentence had been passed—how fearful a judgment was being executedon what are significantly called the ' bad quarters . ' " The Daily News has at length written something about the revolution .
" Never were the antagonist elements of brute force and moral opinion more clearly and universally arrayed against other , than in the struggle which Louis Napoleon has had the rashness to enter upon . Each hour brings testimony of his bayonets prevailing in the streets , and his cause being condemned and denounced by every man of sense and character ; the citizens and the masses who were well inclined to side with him in his first quarrel with the Assembly , all turning the more fiercely against him , since the selfish insolence and insane ravings of his ambition have been promulgated . " The Times has all along just suspected the strict accuracy of the intelligenca received , and has liberally continued tho scanty and disjointed supply .
" The barricades first thrown up on Wednesday evening , were speedily carried by the soldiers ; but the night was spent in further preparations for war . A large column of troops was silently moved along the Doulevard towards the Faubourg St . Antoine , and the positions between the Canal and the Porte Ht . Martin were strongly occupied . Shots were occasionally fired from houses on the line of march , but these acts of hostility were instantly punished by the summary seizure
or slaughter of the inhabitants . A permanent courtmartial was sitting , by whose orders some , and we are told a large number , of the prisoners taken between the barricades were shot . Yet these operations and this rigour did not prevent the popular movement from increasing in extent and in violence . An immense body of troops , or rather an entire army , described to consist of fiO . OOO men , poured towards the scene of action . Yet we find by the latest accounts that barricades had been raised as far to the west as the Hue
( Irange-Uateliere ; the upper Boulevards were continually swept by charges of Lancers ; and the cannonade had almost , reached the fashionable quarter just beyond the Rue Yivienne . It is , of cour . se , impossible to answer for the accuracy of intelligence despatched under such circumstances ; but , if these ( iu-Ah are correct , the struggle has extended far beyond the limits of the Marais , and tho Faubourgs , and the popular forces can hardly be confined to the revolutionary sections of those districts . " There in another reaMon why it i » " impoHHihlo to answer for the accuracy of the intelligence . " It is dincloHcd by the conoHpondent or' the Post ( IJonapartint organ)—decidedly an indiscreet , garrulous , young man . Jl « huvh , writing on Thursday : — -
" When 1 reached the Ministry of the Interior , whence all telegraphs are sent , the employes had just gone—I was too late to send any despatch . 1 was not sorry ; for tho minister would not / mot ; let me scud anytkituf alarm - iii , and 1 < lid not care to tell you that Paris was tranquil tor I feared in but a lew hours it would be far otherwise . *' And as tho mime journal is tlocply implicated in supporting tho treuchory of M . Bonaparte , u'i ' owmoro
