      : , _ HANOVER . -The Hanoverian Chambers were proro . gued on the 29 ib nit . In its sitting of the previous day the second chamber had passed a resolution calling upon government to facilitate the residence in Hanover of the patriots expelled from Schleswip-Holstein . The proposition was at ence carried np to tbe first chamber , which bad just adopted it as it was prorogued . The government has announced that the legislature will not be again convoked before the term fixed by the constitution as the extreme limit of the vacation , has expired .

      ITALY . ROME . —In Ancona the guillotine is in preparation , so tbat the inhabitants apprehend that they wilt soon have to witness some sanguinary work . All the moderate party in La Marca (« he former partisans of the Pope ) are now alienated from tbe government . For poor Caiandrelli , the triumvir , the only benefit to be procured would be permission to spend as much of his own money as he pleases for at present he is only allowed to spend five baiocchi ( twopence-halfpenny ) a day ; he is not chained , nor dressed in the degrading gaol garments , and is in the same cell with a doctor : PIEDMONT—The satirical paper , 'La Maga , ' pub-Iished at Genoa , was seized there on the 30 th , for an article offensive to the President of the French Republic . .

      SWITZERLAND . The news from Switzerland states that party strife is at » ts height . It was said some days ago the instructions sent to the French minister at Berne were such as to menace the independence of the federal government . It is now said , on good authority , that it has been settled tbat Switzerland shall be jointly occupied in the spring by French and Austrian troops . It is doubtful whether Prussia will be permitted to take any part in this invasion , the jealousy entertained with regard to . that power by Austria enabling France to insist with more firmness upon her exclusion from the projected operations . It is possible that Prussia will , under these circumstances , establish an army of observation iu the grand duchy of Baden .

      BELGIUM . ~ The'Independance ' states that the seizure of the _ Bulletin Fransa s , ' which took place in Brussels on Friday , was occasioned by a formal complaint addressed to the Bel gian government by that of Trance , alleging the violence of the attacks directed through that publication against tbe President of the Republic . A prosecution is already instituted against the publisher of tbe 'Bulletin

      Fraucais , ' in virtue of the law of September , 1816 , fixing the punishmtnt incurred by those who publish aught injurious to foreign powers . The law in question is of very wide application , since it makes offensive criticism upon the acts of foreign rulers criminal , as well as personal reflections and questioning of the legitimacy of their rule . The penalty of a first offence is a fine of five hundred florins or six months' imprisonment . The defence of the accused has been undertaken by a young advocate named Holt , a member of the Chamber .

      HOLLAND . The ' Independence' ef Brussels states that the French government has made an energetic remonstrance to the cabinet of the Netherlands upon the subject of the animadversions of the press of Holland on Louis Napoleon ' s conduct and government , and demanded that the violence of the newspapers shall be restrained . Cabinet councils have been held , to consider how compliance with the application can be reconciled with the laws .

      UNITED STATES . Advices from New York state that the Austrian charge , Hulsemann , had addressed a second letter to the President , relative to . Mr . Webster ' s sentiments respecting Kosautb . The chevalier stated that if those sentiments , encouraging a part of the Austrian empire to rebellion , were endorsed by tbe President , the only course open to tbe Austrian minister was to quit the United States . The President invited Chevalier Hulseman , to a confidential conversation , which was accepted , and the Austrian Minister expressed himself satisfied with the result of the interview , but has since studiously given Mr . Webster the « cut . direct . ' Kossuth and his suit arrived at Pitlsburg on the evening of the 22 nd nit . in sleighs ; tbe uncertainty as to the time of his arrival prevented any display , though arrangements had been made on

      a great scale for tbat purpose , and considerable enthusasm was manifested . At Harrishurg , the capital of PennsylvBma , his reception by the L'gislalure was remarkable . A crowd , chiefly of ladies , took possession of the House and would not be removed by tbe police , or even by the mi ! litary « The few senators who got in tried to adjourn , but were shouted down ; and the reception was gone through amidst such uproar that the whole affair was dumb show . The ' Times' correspondent declares tbat be bas gone over a thousand (!) American papers within the last few weeks , and finds the great majority strongly in favour of intervention for Hungary ; and tbat the Democratic parly - will make that their cry , and a very promising one / at the Presidential election . ^ The delegations from various states , iu behalf of Smith O'Brien , and tbe other Irish axiles , arrived at

      Washington about noon on the 22 nd ult , and the President immeately called a cabinet meeting , which was held at four p . m . on that day . A processsion of about 300 waited upon the President at that hour . The Baltimore delegation presented their memorial , which purported to be signed by 15 , 000 persons . The President , in responding , said tbat while his feelings and the feelings of his countrymen generally were warmly enlisted in behalf of the Irish exiles , he was gratified at the disposition manifested by the memorialists to do nothing that wonld compromise the government , and objected in strong terms against intervention in European affairs generally .

He should then go into the titles of the occupants at the various estates , but should first proceed with the examination of Mr . O'Connor . " Mr .

He was not aware of the exact amount received—the books of the Company would show the amount . He knew nothing of them . He trusted that entirely to the Directors . Mr Grey had examined the accounts at the desire of a Committee of the House of Commons , and found them correct lhe company then owed him a large amount , whioh was since increased .

You have examined me five hours and have not asked me one single word connected with the Land Company . Have you done with me now ? Mr . Roxburgh : TSo ; nor am I likely just yet .

      Mr . O'Connor : None . The Master : Did you ever have any ? Mr . O'Connor : I never had any . I cannot come here to-morrow ; I must he at the'House . The Master : The Speaker will be ready to excuse you , if there is any necessity . ( Laughter . ) Mr . O'Connor : Will you excuse me ? The Master : No , I cannot excuse you . ( Mr . O'Connor here laughed outright . ) Tho Master : I adjourn theso proceedingsunfilto-morrow , when Mr . O'Connor and all parties muBt be present . Mr . O'Connor ( putting on his hat , and retiring laughing ) : Oh dear , Oh dear . A large crowd of people followed the witness into the Lincoln ' s-inn Court-yard , and through Lincolu ' a-inn-fields , TUESDAY . Februaot 3 .

      " Mr . Roxburgh stated that he intended to examine the mortgagees and other parties connected with the Minster Lovel Estate . . " Mr . Bagshaw , appearing for the mortgagees , objeoted to their . examination . A Bill in Chancery was already filed against them , and , to go into the case now was vexatious . In a few days they would put in an answer to the bill . ' Mr . Roxburgh replied , that they were compolled to examine all parties who had ever had any monetary dealings with tho Company . They had sold Mr . O'Connor anestate for £ 9 , 000 , with ' a mortgaje upon it of £ 5 , 000 , to remain for six years , but the covenant of the deed provided that

      t' e mortgagee could be foreclosed in one year . This looked sn . xpicious . Here was an estate which had cost the Company £ 25 , 000 , which these mortgagees were cutting , and carving , and selling at a most deterioated price , even after the bill for Winding up the Company had been passed , and now were only restrained by their filing a bill for an injunction . . Mr . Bagshaw : It is a useless expenditure , which would ultimately fall upon the unfortunate shareholders . Mr . Roxburgh : They were willing to receive back the estate in the same state as it was in January , 1848 , and pay anv reasonable costs .

      Mr . Bagshaw : Mr . O'Connor had served tho mortgagees with a notice that he would never pay ono farthing of tho interest on the mortgage . What money he bad previously paid was paid out of his own pocket .. Master Ilumphry . The examination ? must be allowed to proceed ; it was in liis opinion more likely to stop than increase litigation . ¦ Mr . Lee was then examined by Mr . Roxburgh . He was a solicitor residing at Wittiey , acting for the mortgagees . An estate belonpin / r to a Mr . Walker was sold in July , 1 S 47 ; the price waB £ 9 , 000 without the timber ; one of tho conditions of the sale was , that £ 5 , 000 should remain on mortgage for seven years , provided the interest was paid . The

      money was paid by Mr . Chinneiy for Mr . O Connor . 'He knew nothing of . Mr . O'Connor or the Company at the time of the sale . Messrs . Weaving and Tinnock were trustees for the widow and children of Mr . Walker until they were of age—some of them were of age . He knew nothing of the Company only . by the papers , He did not know until after the execution of the purchase deed , that Mr . O'Connor was going to divide it into small allotments . Ho flaw tbo buildings going on as he passed . Tho allotments were made in 1848 . He did not know for what purpose Mr . O'Connor bought the estate . He never toW him that he bought it to locate the members upon . The interest was paid up to June , 1849 . There was none duo until January ' , 1850 .

      The" Mortgage Deed was then put'in , and the clause read , which showed that the interest was to be paid half yearly . A quantity of letters between Mr . O'Connor , Mr . Chinnery , and Mr . Lee , were then put in , and some of thorn read . A long discussion took place between Messrs . Roxburgh and Bagshaw , relative to the contents of tne letters , and their being put in as evidence ; the main question at issue being , that although the Master had power to confirm the sales of the Mortgagees , bad he the power to annul them , if he found them bad ; also , an endeavour to effect an amicable arrangement without going on with tho Chancery Suit ! It was ultimately arranged , that Mr . Gooiichap should have the letters for three days to copy . No arrangement was come to . relative to compromising the Suit against the mortgagees . Examination of Mr . Lee resumed . Mr . Chinnery instructed Mr . Sweet to draw up the mortgage deed .

      Mr . Weaving or Mr . Pinnock did not , to his knowledgo , press upon Mr , O'Connor to pay the £ 5000 mortgage money . Ho advised them , at a meeting held at the Three ; Cut > b , in Oxford , in December , 1849 , to call upon Mr . O'Connor for payment . He did so because Mr . O ' Connor hail informed him that the tenants did not pay their rents , and he would not continue to pay the interest . He did not remember whether Messrs . Weaving and Pinnock gave him any instructions to apply to Mr . O'Connor . He did not , draw up the deed . It stated that they had applied to Mr . O' Connor . It was not literally true . The mortgage deed was prepared in the ordinary vray . Under the original deed , he believed , they had the power of Bale . Tho interest was never paid when due . They had to make repeated applications . There was no interest due until March , ' 1 S 50 . But , legally speaking , it wns due daily after tho previous September . He approved of the deed . Ho did not object to his client executing it , notwithstanding its untrue recitul The deed having been read ,

      Mr . Lee , in examination , stated that ifc was on his suggestions that the deed was framed . The costs were to be divided between himself and Mr . Chinnery . Mr . Sweet prepared it . The deed was executed aboub the 8 th of January , by Messrs . Weaving and Pinnock . He brought one action of ejectment against the estate . There were sixtyeight tenants . Messrs . Weaving find Pinnock instructed him so to do . He corresponded with Mr . Chinnery upon the subject of the ejectments . He never saw Mr . O'Connor on the subject . He served him with an ejectment , he being ono of the tenants . One of the actions was pretended to be defended . . They had costs . They levied a distress upon them , but their effects wore removed , Some wero sent to Oxford Castle for the balance of the costs . They were there nine months . The balance was £ 120 . Mr . Chinnery was to share with him in the costs . It was an agency business He had made out the bill of coats for preparing the deed and the ejectment . The bill of costs was put in and portions read .

      Examination resumed : He propose d the deed of sale . Messrs . Weaving or Pinnock never called upon him and asked him what the ejectments meant . Ho never told them that he acted by tho instructions of Mr . O'Connor , and should not look to them for costs . He did not know Townley . He did not know the children , lie heard they were under the care of Mr . Hart . He did not believe they were turned out under the deed of ejectment . He did not know where they were . He had heard that Townley had bought it . He did not know it . Tho mortgagees had now possession of the estate . He never collected rents on the estate . He had heard they would not pay rent . He did 1 not know what reasons they had . He believed they "said they would not be tenants to Mr . O'Connor . He never asked them for rent . They hurried the action for

      ejectment because they did not feel that their property was secure . The money laid out on the estate was , he heard , foolishly expended . They had sold property to the amount of £ 5 , 000 . They had sold about half the estate . Mr . Long , the auctioneer ; sold property to tho value of £ 4 , 759 . He was not the only auctioneer . They had sold Borne by private contract . He did not think they had sold more than five by private contract . They had not completed more sales . The paper he handed in was , ho believed , correct . The amount was £ 4 , 960 on sales completed , and 42 , 002 5 s . on those not completed . He did not think that the amount was more than the mortgage and costs . He did not think when the deed of sale was executed , that the estate , with such a set of tenants , wns security for tho mortgage . They had now about thirty fresh tenants .

      They had onl y received deposits on some of the allotments sold . The amount actually received was £ 550 os . That was his cash account against Messrs . Weaving and Pinneck . It was not complete . It contained all the money he had received or paid , except about £ 45 . Ho received , up to January , 1851 , £ 5 , 410 8 s . lid . ; and on non-completed purchases , £ 451 5 s . Od . He had paid to Weaving and Pinnock £ 5 , 845 4 s . 3 d . He believed that if the non-completed purchases were completed , there would be a balance over , after paying the principal , interests , and costs . By the accounts it appeared that with the complete and non-complete sales they would receive £ 6 , 962 oa . That , exclusive of costs , he had paid £ 5 , 845 43 . 3 d . There was rent charge due about £ 145 . This would , leave about £ 900 balance . 1 believe we should have received that sum over and above what was duo to us , exclusive of C 03 ts . That does not include anything received for rent or * sale of

      nroduce . It does not include our expenses . Wo received £ 450 8 s . lid . for rent and produce ; none of which would have been received if we had not taken possession . The sum received for the produce of the portion wo cultivated was £ 225 . The sales were periodical , i consulted Messrs , Weavinjr , Pinnock , and Long . I consulted Mr . Chinnery , because one of the conditions on which Mr . O' Connor granted the deed was , that the estates should be sold , ao t > s to realise the most money . I went to Oxford to the Three Cups , to consult Mr . Chinnery . My bill of costs , according to the account , was five guineas . There was a similar journey to Oxford , charged also the same . I was examined before a Committee of the Houbb of Commons on an amendment to tho bill . The amendment , was , I think , unaccountably rejected . Mr . Sweet diew up the . amendment . I did not entertain any doubt of the validity of the sales . If they had received the amendment , it would have saved any future inquiry ot costs relative to the sales .

      Mr . Weaving examined by Mr . "Roxburgh : Was a trustee to the estate of the late . Mr . Walker . Was present at the sale of the Minster Estate . Had convention with Mr ?? i nDor rela V T 0 t 0 the mortgage , and told him he could let the money lay on mortgage for seven years for certain . Did not know that Mr . O'Connor was a Managing Director oi thei Company until a long period after the land was divided and the houses built . Have heard of the existence of the Company , but know nothing about it . Received the deposit from Mr . O'Connor . The rest was paid by a check on Mr . 0 Connor . Received the interest on the

It was olearly understood that the estate wa 3 not to bear any costs for the ejectments . Did notrocollect . whetliev Mr . Lne charged him with the cost of the ejectment . Witnoss , Mr .

Cannot sive ui > the deeds and papers in those boxes without Mr . Robert ' s consent Was examined in 1 S 4 S before the House of Commons " There was then an amount due of £ 3 , 283 . Believes that that amount has been paid . . We hive never had a settlement . Have been connected wifi the Company since its commencement . Many attempts havo been made to legalise it . Have had frequent communications with Mr . Lee , more especially lately . This , bundle contains the correspondence . Ilad been instructed by Mr . O'Conuor to collect the arrears of rent . Wo failed . They set us at defiance . Requested Mr . Lee being on the spot to act as my agent . We attempted to make distresses but they drove the men away . This led to the preparation of tbe deed .

      A quantity of correspondence was then read between Messrs . Leo and Chinnery , giving a complete history of the reasons for giving up the soven years mortgage , and allowing the mort gagees to sell it . It was deemed by tho legal advisers of the Company , the only plan by which they could get rid of refractory tenants , or collect rent , and they acted in unison with Mr . Lee , solicitor to tho mortgagees , to effect that object . Ifc appeared from the drafts of the deeds put in , that the deed of purchase of Minster orginalJy confcainud a cl . iuse similar to that in tho conditions of sale ; that the mortgage money should remain for seven vears .

      but that it had been subsequently struck out . iu » i - "i buit 8 h 8 u Sgesteii that the Master should instruct the Official Manager to enter into an arrangement with Mr . Roberts , relative to giving up tho deeds and papers contained in those boxes , that the lien should not bo prejudiced butpaid out of the assets of the Company . The . Master stated that he could not at present agree to any specific proposition , but he had no objection to Mr . Gooilchnp entering into a negotiation with Mr . Roberts to be laid before him for approval . The act guaranteed Mr . Roberts the expenditure in getting it passed . For tbat he did not require a lien .

      lhe court then adjourned until the following day at twelve o ' clock . WEDNESDAY , February 4 . Mr . O'Connor ' s examination was resumed : I have seen tho " Daily News" of the date of the lGt . li of May . It does not contain an account of my expenditure , but of the sums due to me . There is anothor statotnent in the "Daily News , " containing sums I omitted to charge . Tho two papers contain the published account of my expenditure . I will road it myself . Mr . O'Connor then read the letter in the paper of the 10 th containing a statement of receipts up to that date , also a brief account of some expenditure paid to Mr . Peatherstone , and money paid into the Land and Labour Bank .

      Examination resumed : The account of the expenditure is kept by the Directors and Mr . M'Gowan . It is not contained in the paper read . I stated the accounts were in . the " Northern Star " and "Daily News . " I gave no other account . It ' contains an account of all the property sold . jThe sum of £ 400 received from General Hutchinson is in that account ! Ifc appears in the money I paid into the Bank . The £ 1 , 048 received from J . Golding appears as £ 1 . 006 4 s ., that was the sum paid . It was paid in April , 1842 , though that is not the date in the paper . Tho £ 400 I previously mentioned as paid into tho bank is money paid by Golding , and not Hutchinson . Hutchinson paid previously . You will find it in the Directors'book , and in the "Northern Star . " Mr . Cullirigham and Mr . Doyle , when I paid the labourers on Saturday night entered all the money I paid . Tho Master suggested that somo one acquainted with the books should bo examined as to their content ? .

      Mr . O'Connor stated that the books did not contain the sums paid for the estates for timber , and above £ 12 , 000 for bricks . The deficiency of £ D 0 , 0 . '; 0 was spent in the way he stated . He had all tho vouchers . His checks would also show it , Mr . O'Connor was now , and other times , reminded by tho Master of the irregular manner in which h * a answered . Mr . M'Grath examined : There are books which will show a portion of the expenditure since 1848 . These are the books . They contain only the expenditure of the office . These are the only books kept by the Directors . There were other books kept on the Estates by Mr . Doyle . Mr . Doyle was then examined : I was one of .. the Direc « tors . Theso are tho books which show the expenditure on tbe estates , as far as 1 was concerned .

      The Master : Mr . O'Connor said that ho kept no booksthat he had vouchers , but be gave them to five persons , whom he named . These persons must be examined . Mr . D . M'GoAvan examined : I havo in my possession papars belonging to Mr . O'Connor , about which I should like to speak to Mr . O'Connor , before delivering them up . Mr . M'Gowan then said : Mr . O'Connor , I have documents in my possession without which ifc is impossible you can ever make out your claim against the Company . Am I to give them up ? Mr . O'Connor : Certainly not . The Master explained , that though he could not have them back , he could » t any time have access to them . They would be in charge of the Manager , who was an officer of the court . Mr . O'Connor , on those terms , consented to their being given up .

      Tho master stated that a schedule would be made of all documents , and that they should be sealed up , that no future dispute should arise as to their identity . Mr . O'Connor said Mr . Grey reported , in 184 S , that the Company owod him £ 3 , 400 , and iu 1849 , that it owed him £ 4 , 000 . Since that period he had received no money from shareholders . All he had received from other sources ho had published in tho 'Daily News ' and the "Northern Star . " Mr . Grey w . is five weeks employed in the first examination , and one week , in the second . Mr . O' Connor here entered into muuh irrelevant matter .

      The Master stated that he could not roceive the statements of Mr . O'Connor , or even tho accounts of Mr . Grey . Ho must examine the accounts for himself . He tru-ted Mr . O Counor would keep himself to the strict matter bofore him . Mr . M'Gowan ' s examination continued : Tho papers chic-fly consisted of vouchers of money paid by him to bunkers and others . They would show the disposal by him of the money he receivod . 1 have vouchers and cheques with the tradesmen ' s names upon them . Tho papers were then handed in .

      Mr . O'Connor examined : The ¦ ' Daily Nows " contains a correct account of the money received by me sinco Oct . 184 S . I paid the sums of £ 3 , G 06 4 * . Gd . in that account into the Gloucestershire ) Bank , also other sums from tho auctioneer , Mr . Featherstone , and the Solicitors . I do not know the sum of £ 180 received from Mr . Tapp . If Mr . Featherstone received it , it would bo in his account , I do not perceive it in the " Daily News . " I do not see tho sum of £ 200 paid by William Walking . I do not sec the sum of £ 240 paid by Charles Spencer . They are published in the " Northern Star . " I see tho sum of £ 40 received from James Kelshaw . The sum of £ 350 was published in . tho " Star . " Tho same with the sums paid by Messrs . Wallace , Hodgfcisa , Johnson , Burrows , ami Hill . This ib

      a copy of tbe account made out by Mr . Grey in 1848 . It is made by my Secretary . Mr . Grey has tho original . I am sure he had it . By my banking book I see 1 paid into the Gloucestershire Bunk the sum £ 3 , 600 4 s . 6 < l ,, also the other sums mentioned in the " Daily News . " I made a mistake , they were paid into the Land and Labour Bank . The Bank has since failed . The nioucy was expended in . Salaries , &c . We lost money by paying a higher rate of interest than we received . The . Bank was the property of the Land Company . I was responsible . Mr . Price was Manager above three years . The expense was not defrayed by an expense fund of the Company . The "Daily News" a correct statement of all the money I have received since October 1848 . The sums which are not there

      aro in the "Northern Star . " They wero paid before 1848 . Topp ' a money was not paid before 1848 . Here Mr . O'Conner became very excited , and was severely reprimanded by the Matter . Ho then complained of severe illness ; declared that he was suffering much from spasms , and wa » alluded to leave the Court . Mr . Roxburgh stated that he felt ifc difficult to do justice to the Shareholders , owing to the difficulty of procuring a direct or proper answer to his question . The Master : If Mr . O ' Connor cannot , or will not , render an account to the Court , he must be charged with the whole of the money received . Mr . Roberts apologised for the conduct of Mr . O'Connor owing to the shattered state of his mind . He had , lie bef ho in

      lieved , given the best account in his power . I was , a private room , where his feelings would not Ue excited , bB believed that much more beneficial information could b& obtained , though even then he doubted whether he conld render a proper account . He believed that the Directors would afford every information in their power ; nnd he had , and was anxious to continue to give , the Official Manager every possible iuformation .

That it belongs Jo tbe Eagle Family at all , the only indication is afforded by its talon ?; which are enormous , and exhibit an extent of grasp truly astonishing . But the voracity and greediness for which it is remarkable are rather characteristic of the vulture , or the carrion crow , and to trick of pouncing ou tUe defenceless is a trait of the kite ' s .

This nondescript creature ( now in full feather at the Tnileriea ) has in three ye ars increased its depredations in France to the amount of from £ 25 , C 0 O to' £ 140 , 000 per annum .
