It is said to acknowledge with satisfaction the conciliatory character of the Prussian despatch ; pointing out, however, that virtually Austria did sot arm, but only effected certain movements of troops. As an evidence of the peaceful aspect which the relations between the two great German Powers have assumed, it is asserted that arrange ments have already been made for a retrograde movement of the forces which had been concen trated in Bohemia.

This Company lass - been formed fur the purposes of purchasing the patent rights for the United Kingdom of a newly-invented pro- ' ms, called Oraphotype, a n d for working the same ; the object of the process being the production .f book and other Ulnetrattom in a manner which is at once less costly and more expeditious than is possible by the methods at present ;so extensively em ployed, and wh ic h insure* a more faithful translation of the artist's work. Of the many advantages which the Oraphotyplng process, as a means of illustration, offers over that of wood engraving (which it is believed it will almost entirely, if not altogether, su persede., the Directors have every confidence In naming the fol lowing : lat. That It accomplishes, with absolute certainty, all that is claimed for it, its success nut being dependent upon any but the very simplest conditions ; That by it the artist's work Is reproduced with the utmost nicety of exactness, the painted picture being in every particular, down to the minutest detail, the precise fan-simile of the artist's drawing ; ard. That It 'Neils a very considerable saving in time, a drawing which world oLvupy a aldlled engrsver a fortnight to engrave on wood being, by the Graphotype process, made ready for printing within five or six hours from the time of leaving the artist's hands ; and 4th That the cost of production is reduced to at least one twentieth of that by wood engraving. At a meeting of the Society of Arts, held on the eth of Decem ber last, the process was thoroughly exentplitled and explained before a lame number of scientific gentlemen practically ac quainted with the subject, amongst whom were several con meted with the engraving, printing,. and publishing trades, and It ass received with almost unanimous approval. A detailed re port of the meeting may be seen in the report of the proceedings Pablished by the Society of Arts, and the same with coospectuses„ and other papers, may be had at the offices of the Company.

"My dear Sir,—By your card of imitation to the exhibition of spedmens of the graphotyping process, I see you are now pre- Mad to start the company publicly. This will, I doubt not, be attended with all the good results you anticipate. I trust that ihis: ti ptirport of this note will not be taken as an indication of any ng on my part but one of the greatest anxiety and hope for the success of the enterprise. The invention is so very excellent the simplicity of the means used and the perfection of the mainples produced as book illustrations for printing with type, that I can have no doubt that It will entirely supersede wood eograring, and be used for many purposes for which other kinds of engraving have hitherto brt:ll employed. It ought, therefore, to my an enormous interest on the capital engaged In the bust- Ems. With my plans, however, for leaving Englund for a leagtbened period, I cannot escape the oonviction that it would heMtogether wrong in me to retain the place you hive done me the honour to give me among the Directors. Atter consenting to UM two months since, It is certainly now very unbusiness-like to ask to be allowed to make way for another, but I feel that, for the interest of the Company as much as for my own satisfaction, I Mould do this. I cannot, as Director, be regarded only as a representative of the artistic opinion of the value of the inven tion. I should sot be Just to the shareholders in taking no part to the business of the Board, and I eould not attend any meeting foi at least two years. I must trust, therefore, to your kindness to pardon me for all the trouble I have given you from not hay lug come to this determination earlier, and ask you now to remove my name from all future prospectuses and announce ments of the Company.-1 ani, d:c., :Signed: "W.

The grave wrong which the' Earl of Carnarvon recently brought before the House of Lords—a wrong which consists of inflicting un speakable tortures upon the sick and dying—was formally condemned at their board meeting last Tuesday ; and a month from this date rape= will be permitted to pus away without having their last hours made wretched in order that the parish may earn a few pounds annually by a noisome trade. .1"t Ikea taken ten years to effect this • reform. To the late Mr. Wakley belongs the credit of first forcing upon the attention of the guardians the cruelties of which they were guilty • and from the time of his doing so till now there have been many efforts—some fitful sad spasmodic, some eonsiatent and energetic—to rouse these functionaries to a .ease of their duty. At last they have given way ; and while the parishes composing this union are to be congratu lated on the promised change, the causes leading to it a suggestive moral to all interested in h-was see of the guardians themselves that Mr. Wakley first endeavoured to work upon the feelings of this board. It is through inde pendent investigations and outspoken expressions of opinion that a better system is to be inaugu rated now. It is not very long ago since a motion for discontinuing carpet-beating under the workhouse infirmary windows had but one sup porter at the board; and on Tuesday there were but &ix men out of seventeen who bad the hardihood to vote that the vile practice should be maintained. The guardians in favour of a fair and just treatipent of the helpless people entrusted to their charge have been so helplessly in the mino rity, that every effort at improvement has been worse than useless. But a great and successful struggle was made at the parish election of a few weeks badk, and a working majority of reformers has been bbtained. The result has been an imme diate benefit to the poor. Already have starving families had their miserable weekly dole of out door relief judiciously augmented ; already has a motion for admitting representatives of the press at the board meetings been carried, in the teeth of a sturdy opposition ; and already has it been decided to relieve this union of the charge of tacitly encouraging bar barities savages would shudder at. Carpet-beating in the abstract does not su gges t torture, yet the circumstances under which it has been carried on at the workhouse in Cleveland-street made it the refinement of cruelty. Earl Granville laid some stress the other night upon the fact of the medical officer of the Strand Union having made no official I report to the Poor-law Board of the grievances complained of ' • but we have seen enough lately of the insolent defiance of local bodies to the central authority to appreciate the reasons for this ap parent neglect. If it could be shown that the doctor of the Strand Union has been silent on this shocking subject, and has allowed his hapless patients to die off in unalleviated misery without applying to the only people really having power to provide a remedy, no denunciation could be too strong and no punishment too severe for a man who had so shamefully betrayed his trust. But the proceedings at Tuesday's board meeting proved the reverse to have been the case, and the Strand guardians themselves admit their medical officer to have faithfully fought the sick pauper's battle, when the penalty of doing so has been petty terrocien, constant worry and discomfort, certain unpopularity, g and possible pecuniary loss. The *an who brought forward the motion for discontinuing the practice of car pe t-beating read a letter from this officer, which went far to prove those guilty of manslaughter who had insisted upon the abuse being kept up. A large majority of the inmates of the sick wards of the Strand Union workhouse are suffering from bron chial affections ; and to compel these to inhale an atmosphere so laden with dust and dirt that it is often impossible to see across a narrow yard, is to bid them die, and die quickly. The noise of this carpet-beating is moreover so great, that the pro cesa has to be stopped when the doctor wishes to ask questions or to conduct aural examinations of the air passages or lungs of the sufferers he visite ; and, as if no circumstance should be wanting to prove the maladministration of the law, able-bodied paupers have been, it is insisted, retained in the workhouse for the express purpose of perform ing this work, and enabling the union to make a profit out of their labour. But the following shocking particulars will give the reader a better comprehension of the past sufferings of the sick paupers in the Strand Union workhouse than any mere generalities. About a month ago a man lay there dying of consumption and inflam mation of the lungs. A few hours before his death alarming symptoms set in, and the doctor was sum moned to his bed-side. He found the consumptive patient in a room in which doors and windows were open, and four men were beating a large and dirty carpet in the yard outside. The day was dry and clear, and the dust was so thick that the carpet-beaters were invisible ; the open windows made the room and bed its receptacle ; and in the very centre of it was stretched the (lying man. Too weak to move, he lay helplessly on his back, with his mouth open, and face lifted to the ceiling, gasping for breath, and at each gasp swallowing and choking with the dust and dirt which covered walls, and floor, and bed, which lay thick upon his face, and hair, and hands, and blew about in vast clouds thr oughout the ward. The matron was sent for, but the man died a few hours later, and his case, though unhappily one out of many, served to clinch the arguments of the guardians advocating the cessation of this horrible torture. Their advocacy has been success ful, and a grave and crying abuse ie to be reme died, not because the local board is more disposed to listen to the central authority than formerly ; not because the guardians of the old school are ono whit more amenable to reason than before ; but for the reason that public opinion has acted upon the ratepayers, and some new blood has been let into the board. Independent investigation and free discussion have effected this particular reform, but it should be remembered that in the utter ab sence of proper controlling power, we have no guarantee that other and worse evils may not be inaugurated in this workhouse, or be flourishing in others, at the very moment we are congratulating ourselves upon improvement. FATAL nowr.—About half-past son Wednesday evening a fight took place on the besek, near the batteries at Sheerness, between two gunners belonging to the Depot Brigade of the Royal Artillery. It appeared that the men, Thomas Belsh and Thomas Grogan, both 21, had a slight quarrel a few days previously respecting a portrait of Belch which Grogan had broken. They thereupon appointed the time and place mentioned above for settling the difference between them. They went together, with a number of other gunners, to the appointed place, and after fighting about twenty minutes, during which time both seemed pretty equally matched, Grogan hit his antagonist under the ear, the result of which was that in two or three minutes he fell dead. Yesterday an inquest was held by Mr. T. Hills, the coroner for East Kent, when the above facts were elicited in evidence. Mr. A. M. Dryedale, the surgeon of the Royal Military Hospital, stated that from a post mortem examination of the body he hail no doubt that death resulted from congestive apoplexy caused by the blow. The jury brought in a verdict oe" Manslaughter" I &pilot Grope.

A MOTHER GIVING AWAY HER CHILD. —For some days past the usually quiet village of Torphichen, near Bathgate, has been the centre of considerable agita tion and excitement, in consequence of a rumour that a married woman, resident in the village, had sold or given away to the proprietor of a travelling exhibition an illegi timate female child, of which she was the mother. About five years ago a miner or pitheadman, named John Gillon, along with his wife, Margaret Ritchie or Gillon, came to reside in the village of Torphichen. They had with them • female child who was understood to be an illegitimate daughter of the woman's, which she had born to a man named Prentice, previously to her marriage with Gillon. This child presented an extraordinary appearance, and even now, although she is approaching eleven years of age, she does not exceed thirty inches in height, and her weight is about thirty-two pounds. She is exceedingly , ema ciated, and altogether presents one of the most pitiable spectacles it is possible to conceive. Through time it was discovered by the neighbours that, although neither her mother nor stepfather were ever known violently to ill-use her, still she was not treated like the other members of the family. On account of her dirty habits it is said she was made to sleep in a small burley-bed in the coal-house, which is a long, narrow place, about 12ft. by 3. She was frequently seen to pick up pieces of crusts of bread or cold pota toes that she found lying upon the street and devour them greedily ; but upon being questioned if her mother gave her food enough, she always said yes, although her account of what she daily received appears anything but sufficient for a growing child—she stating that she usually got por ridge for breakfast, three potatoes for dinner, and a woe of bread at night. Matters remained in this condition, the child being commiserated by all, until the 28th ultimo, when a travelling showman, named Broom, was exhibiting some wax figures in the village • and he was sent for by the mother of the child, who o ff ered to give her to him for the purpose of exhibition, on the sole oondition that she would not be brought back. Broom took time to consider the master, and a few days afterwards • regular written agree ment was drawn up and signed by Gillon and his wife on the one hand, and Broom on the other, in the presence of two witnesses, whereby it was agreed that the child should be handed over to the showman, to be kept by him during her life; and her mother and stepfather bound themselves to make no future claim or allow others to make any claim to the said child, or ever to take her out of the possession of the showman. The girl was then removed to the man's caravan, and she ham since been exhibited at Falkirk , Qnsessaferry, and elsewhere, as " The Living Skeleton," which the poor creature really is ; and, sad her fate appears to le, it is scarcely possible that her life in the future can be worse than what it has been in the past.— Edinburgh Courant. rNN'S LIQUEUR ORANGE BRANDY, trk per dawn.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—The thirteenth season, com mencing on May-day, opens with great promise. During the past six months the number of visitors has been con siderably greater than in any former year. Taking the whole period during which the palace has been open, these six months have, as compared with the same period of previous years, shown an excess of more than 624 per cent., thus showing how much recent additional facilities for reaching the palace are rendering it available as a place of winter resort. The season tickets also show a large increase. The programme of the new season, commencing on the first of May, comprises an unusually varied list of special , attractions. On May-day a great concert of five thou sand voices will be given by children and others connected with the metropolitan schools, con ducted by Mr. G. W. Martin. Ethardo will also re-appear, his lofty pole being converted into a gigantic May-pole. On the following day, Mr. Charles Dickens has kindly undertaken to give a reading of " Little Dombey." I Other specialities intervene, and on the following Satur day, sth May, the concert season will be inaugurated by a great performance on the Handel Orchestra of Handel's " Acts and Galatea "—Mdlle. Titiens, Signori Gardoni and Stagno, with Mr. Bentley, being theprincipal vocalists. The band of the company , largely reinf orced, and a chorus of nearly 1,000 carefully selected voices, under the &ree -1 tion of Mr. Maims, will, it is anticipated, present this favouritedierenata of Handers in a manner worthy of the occasion. Eight other opera concerts will follow on Satur days. Seven of these will be supported by such a carefully I selected arrangement of artistes of Her Majesty's Theatre I and by solo instrumentalists (including Madame Arabella Goddard, lie.), as will render each concert of this series specially interesting. The great flower show of the season will be held under the most favourable auspices on Satur day, 12th May. As a feature of additional interest, and to afford additional accommodation, the beautiful gardens of Itoelthilla, adjoining the palace, and the residence of the late Sir J. Paxton, will be thrown open to visitors. These I gardens will be again thrown open on the day of the great rose show, Saturday, 23rd of June. The revels on behalf of the Royal Dramatic College will be held early in July, but probably the most popular day (or rather evening) will be the great display of fireworks, and grand illumination of fountains, water teinplee, and gardens, on Thursday, 17th of May, the day fo ll owing the Derby race at E p som. ' At no time have the Palace and grounds been in better I condition, nor have more objects of special intermit been accessible to visitors. walEriew. Mr. W. H. Leatham, the sitting member, was examined. He said—l was invited to become a candidate for the borough in April, and I consented to stand in May, It was part of the arrangement that I should not canvass, and that I should take no active part in the election. The committee also undertook that nothing illegal or impr ope r should take place in the conduct of the election. Neitr directly nor indirectly was I a party to, nor (lid I know, of any improper practices at the election. I supplied no funds whatever for the purposes of the election. The committee undertook that it should not coat me anything. The witness was cross-examined, but nothing material was obtained from him. Mr. George Young, official assignee of the Leeds Dis trict Court of Bankruptcy, said Mr. Henry Barrett was employed by the trade assignee in connection with the business of the court, and having embezzled a large sum of money while in that employment, he had absconded. George Richardson, manager of the Leeds and Wakefield Bank, at Wakefield, proved that Henry Barrett kept an account at the bank, and that he had deposited and with drawn various sums of tolerably large amount about the period of the election. Barrett absconded in August or September. The amounts Barrett deposited in the bank were credited to his own account, and not to the trade William 'Thomas Limb, bookseller, of Wakefield, bad conversation with liarrett on the evening before the election. Mr. Giffard—Will you tell ua what that conversation was Mr. Pickering objected to thin question. The committee decided that the question could not be put. Mr. Lamb's examination was then continued, and he denied that any bribe had been offered to the voters, Hedy sou or Batty, in his presence or hearing. Henry Lee, a town councilor of Wakefield, and a manu facturer there, knew a voter named George Wilkinson, whom he canvassed on behalf of Leathern. Wil lcinson promised to vote for the sitting member, but afterwards told witness he owed some money to the conservatives, that they had put a pressure upon him, and that therefore he could not vote for Mr. Leathern. They had threatened to sell hint up if he voted against them. Witness then told Wilkinson that if he voted for Leathern he (witness) would lend him some money which he could " work off," to help him out of his difficulties.
