Tho evil of this practice is not confined to the mere temporary loss that may be occa sioned, but extends also to the future. When warnings are constantly found to be based upon nothing, they must infallibly be regarded in a very short space lef time as generally worthless, and hence should a real necessity arise for caution it will be set down among the sham necessities of the past. It is the old fable over again. The cry of " wolf" has been raised so often without cause that when true it will be unheeded. Apart front the inevitable evils that will be en• tailed by the outbreak of foreign war, there ap pears nothing in the financial and commercial position of England to warrant serious mis giving. The withdrawal of 300,003/. in gold from the Bank ought not to cause much un easiness, although it has had the effect of raising the rate of discount from 6 to 7 per cent. It is very certain that before long this money will come back, and probably a great deal more ; the actual suspension of specie payments in Italy, and that impending in Austria, being certain to stimulate the export thence of coin. As this country ar pears happily to have less chance of being drawn into the conflict than any Power on the Continent, trade and capital will neces sarily be more concentrated here. The adverse movement of the precious metals will thus be speedily corrected, although for the moment it is productive of some inconvenience. Again, our exports to the East have almost entirely ceased, and from the present appearance of the cotton market are not likely soon to recommence, on any important scale. There is no pretence for saying that conunerce is in an unsound condition, although mysterious statements every now and then crop up of "an unhealthy demand for " money," and so forth, for what reason it is impossible to discover. The unlucky prediction of a crisis in the American trade appears as far from being realised as ever. The admission has even been riluctantly made, that instead of our overloading the United States with goods sup plied on credit alone, we are actually receiving more in cotton and other materials than we send out in manufactures. The fact that shipments of specie from this side were nut improbable effectually proves that the balance of trade was exactly contrary to that , from which such alarming prophecies were not long ago deduced. As regards other countries it is out of the question to infer that any appreciable over trading is going on. Where, therefore, lies the danger with which we are so persistently threatened Y It can only be at home ; and upon this point we get such vague and unsatisfactory answers that the public have no data to go upon, beyond the assurance that it is their duty to be excessively frightened. There can be no doubt, we will acknowledge, that the recent failure of some of our largest joint stock companies has, in a great degree, contri buted to excite popular alarm. The instances which have occurred where the public confiderce has been scandalously abused have unfortunately been too many. But it is unfair to imply, as has frequently been done, that these examples are the rule. To argue that because concerns like the Joint Stock Discount Company or the Financial Corporation have come to grief every other should be classed in the same category is manifestly unjust. These cases, flagrant as they are, form, after all, mere exceptions. For one company mis managed a dozen more might be cited doing a pro fitable business, and affording remunerative in vestments to their shareholders. To lump the good and bad together in indiscriminate condem nation can be of no possible benefit, and may do a great deal of harm. We hear much, for instance, of " finance paper," but we are left entirely in the dark as to whether it issues from only two or three of the existing associations, or from the whole number generally. From the terms usually employed the latter view would seem to be im- OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) There has occurred here a great calamity, and the poor people are in the greatest distress and despair. A sirocco has been blowing from the desert and the locusts have come ! We heard a few days ago that they had arrived and were destroying the crops in the plains at the foot of the Atlas mountains. A week ago they were 16 miles off ; on the 24th they made their appear ance in a field close to our house and the whole country is in a wild state of excitement ! Our little servant, whose mother has a small farm near, was cry , ng the people turned out with tin kettles, or any noisy thing they could get hold of, beating, rattling, shouting, firing guns, the Arabs yelling everywhere to try to prevent the locusts settling on the fields or fruit trees; fires of green wood and sulphur were lighted in all directions ; the whole country was dim with smoke. You may imagine the scene. - - FLORENCE, MAT 7. A circular has been issued by the Minister of War, stating that volunteers will be received in the regular army. They will have to engage for the term of one year. It is stated that the King has signed a decree for the formation of a volunteer corps, and that a committee of organisation has been nominated. At first there were not so many, only like flocks of young birds. They are great things like enormous grass hoppers, with long legs, large mouths, green and yellow in colour, with light coloured wings, as long and thick as one's middle finger. All in vain the din and smoke ; on they came in clouds till the air seemed full of immense flakes of black snow. A number came near the mulberry trees in the yard of this house, and our coachman caught a good many to show to us. They do not bite people, but it is horrid to walk out when they come low down; the great things strike against your face or stick to your clothes. You have to keep waving a stick or parasol to frighten them off. Towards afternoon they subsided, and we hoped they had passed over us ; but a friend who is staying with us walked up a hill near, on which there is an old telegraph tower, and found that the ground was covered with them ; and when he went out again before 6 o'clock in the morning the branches of the trees were thickly covered, and they were all turning their backs to the sun. They do not like damp. There was a great deal of lightning and thunder on the 25th and some rain, but not enough, as we hoped, to have driven them into the sea, and the next day they were thicker than ever. The people are all out again making every possible noise to keep them from settling in their fields, but I fear there is no hope. It is very unusual for the locusts to come at this season; and it is ten years since they have some at all in such num bers ; two years ago they did some partial damage, but they generally come in July or August when the poor farmers have taken off the greater part of their crops. Now everything is in perfection. The country is lovely and green and full of flowers ; the fruit trees are laden with green almonds, figs, and apricots. The mulberries are green and juicy for the silkworms ; the grain in full ear ; the vegetables in perfection, strawberries in full season, potatoes green and promising. In a short time I suppose the country will be a bare wilderness, and the poor people ruined and starving. I believe they eat the locusts some times. (REUTER'S LX1116.19.) AUSTRIAN CIRCULAR NOTE. VIENNA, MAT 4. The following circular, addressed by the Austrian government to its representatives in foreign parts, accompanied copies of the reply to the note of the Prussian government, forwarded to Berlin upon the 26th ult. : Vienna, April 27. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RC J. T. NOIIItIN. The bankrupt was a stationer and paper maker, of Aldersgate-street, and formerly member of parliament for Abingdon. This was an adjourned sitting for examination and discharge. He owes to unsecured creditors, 30,998/. ; to those holding security, 42,6704. ; creditors to be paid in full, 592/. ; assets stated at 22,0001. ; property held as security, 35,4131. Mr. Linklater stated that the assignees were quite satis fied with the accounts, and consented to the bankrupt having his order of discharge. None of the creditors op posed. Mr. Remick applied for the return of part of an appbreeen tire's premium ; but it appearing that the boy had n apprenticed to the foreman or manager of the business, His Honour said he could not interfere. The order was granted. Your excellency,—l have the honour to transmit to you the annexed copy of the despatch I forwarded yesterday to Count Karolyi. We have given too many guarantees of our pacific in tentioris, and it is too plainly evident that neither the policy of the Imperial government nor the interests of Austria accord with aggressive projects that any doubt can be entertained in Europe of the sincerity of our language. In face of the preparations making upon a vast scale in Italy, and when the conquest of one of our provinces he been fora long time past an avowed object of the policy pursued by the government of King Victor Emmanuel it would be inconceivably blindupon our part not to take th e precaution indispensable for our defence. In addition to our land frontiers we have a very long coast-line to protect upon the side of Italy. Our troops, distributed as they were in the interior of the Empire and reduced to the minimum, did not suffice to cover all the exposed points, often separated by considerable distances. In abandoning ourselves to a false security, we should only invite attack upon our unguarded frontiers. We have, therefore, been obliged to order various move ments of troops, and to replace our army in Italy upon a more complete footing. These measures, I repeat, have only the most strictly defensive character, and it does not enter into the intentions of the Imperial government to provoke a war with any power. You may renew the assurance of this in the most formal manner, but we regard it at the same time as an imperative duty to neglect nothing that will place us in position to repulse an armed invasion. No cabinet, I imagine, could take upon itself the responsibility of ad vising us to act differently, for none would be willing, under present circumst►nces, to guarantee us the inviola bility of our territory.—Receive, &c., (Signed) MMIDOW. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) II THE LIVs STOCK IN THE UNITED KINGDOM,. This morning were issued from the statistical detailed of the Board of Trade for the information of passel various returns relating to live stock in the Us* Kingdom. On the sth of March there were it spun 3,286,308 cows in the United Kingdom; 5,030,652 cattle ; 25,794,708 sheep (this is probably abort bye hip number of the lambs of the present year), and 3,801,311 pigs.

It is in fact a terrible scourge. The people say it denotes an unhealthy state of the atmosphere, and that there will be a great deal of sickness, perhaps cholera, so it is very well for everyone to get away as soon as possible. The air has certainly been very oppressive the last few days and singu larly hot. The " plague" of locusts is a curious and wonderful sight to anyone not personally interested in the havoc and devastation. The worst fact of all is that each one of these thousands of insects makes a hole in the ground and lays about ninety eggs in it, so that there is great difficulty in getting rid of them, even after they have devoured all they can get. One feels so grieved for these poor people—for th e farmers especially, few if any of whom are at all well off. The May session of the Central Criminal Court was opened this morning before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor (Alderman Phillips), the Recorder (Russell Gurney, Esq., (1.C.), Alderman Sir R. Carden, Alderman J. C. Lawrence, and Alderman Besley, Alderman and Sheriff Gibbons, Sheriff Figgins, Under-Sheriff Duffell, Under- Sheriff Rowley, kc. The first edition of the calendar contains the names of 71 persons, 48 males, and Z 3 females, and the offences are thus classified :—Murder, 1 ; manslaughter, 2 ; felo niously wounding with intent to murder, 2 ; abduction, 2 ; arson, 2 ; burglary, 6 ; child stealing, 1 ; uttering counterfeit coin, 14 ; embezzlement, 2 ; feloniously demanding money with menaces, 1 ; forgery, 3 ; house. breaking, 2 ; larceny, 10 ; larceny as a servant, 4 ; larceny from the person 10 ; misdemeanour, 4 ; assau l t upon a woman, 1 • and rObbery, 4. The Recorder C delivered a brief charge to the grand jury in reference to the duties they were to be called upon to perform, and called their attention to the more serious cases contained in the calendar. Though the cases were not numerous, still he regretted to say that there were six involving the loss of human life. In one of them the bill charging a female named Shadbolt with the wilful murder of her illegitimate child had been found by the grand jury which had sat at the last session of the court. A bill for wilful murder would, however, be presented to the gentle. men he now addressed against a man of the name of Daniel Belot. It appeared that the accused had cohabited with the deceased woman, who was named Ann Judd, and they lodged in the same house in the neighbourhood of Kent. street, and a man with whom the deceased had pre viously cohabited, also resided there. A jealous feeling arose in the mind of the accused, and on the day in question a scream was heard in the room occupied by the accused and the deceased, and shortly afterwards the latter was seen descending the stairs, with her throat cut, and she soon expired from the wound. The accused was found in his room, also with his throat cut, to such a serious extent that at present he could not be removed from the hospital. These facts would justify the grand jury in returning a true bill against him for wilful murder. After referring to the case of manslaughter which appeared in the calen dar, and which seemed to have arisen under circumstances of great provocation, the learned Recorder especially drew the attention of the grand jury to the case of a father charged with the manslaughter of one of his children, a little boy of the age of five years. whose death had arisen from privation and the insufficient supply of the necessaries of life. The prisoner was in a good position, having 30s. per week besides commission, which greatly increased his means, which were ample to supply proper sustentation for his offspring. It would be the duty of the grand jury on the medical evidence to return a true bill. The calendar also contained a case of a peculiar character. It was a charge against a Dutch mer chant named Olifiva for the abduction of &young female who was alleged to be entitled in reversion to some property of value, but he (the Recorder) thought that this question as to property could hardly be presented to them, but a bill framed under another section of the statute for the carrying away a young female under the age of 16 years against the will and without the consent of her parents or guardians the grand jury might properly return. After a few general remarks the Recorder remitted the grand jury to their room for the commencement of their labours. THE SOUTHWARK HURDER. "The French deputies of eminence," writes the Paris correspondent of the Times, " who make long speeches, and who wish to have them properly reported in the Afoniteur, undergo more labour than the world gives them credit for. Some write out their speeches beforehand, and get them by heart ; a few read them to the house ; and the principal editor of the Siede, who has not among his gifts the talent for extemporaneous speak ing, has more than once read his oration from proof-sheets prepared expressly for him by his own printers. M. Thiers, who is always ready, and who seldom refers to a note unless for statistics, takes a world of pains in cor recting his speeches. On the Contingent question be spoke for more than two hours. Ile went home at 6 o'clock, took some light refreshment, returned to the house, and remained till 5 the next morning revising the proof-sheets of his discourse for the Moniteur." Notwithstanding the comparative thinness of the population, emigration to America from Ireland seems to increase. All hope of ever doing well in Ireland seems to have left the peasantry. Small farmers sell the mileh cow, the last pig—everything that can be spared, running all risks with the landlord and the tax-gatherer, and parting with their last shilling in order to send with a decent outfit their grown-up sons and daughters to Ame rica. On Friday about 100 fine young men and women left the town of IVexford by the steamer for Liverpool on their way to the United States, and similar cargoes are de spatched weekly from many of the Irish porta. From Queenstown, of course, the numbers are greatest. The Cork Examiner says emigration from that port has reached an average of 1,500 per week. It is reported that the Prince of Wales is in treaty for a private house in the neighbourhood of Windsor, which he purposes to occupy during the Ascot r.ico week. Frogmore Lodge, the Prinoe's usual residence on such occasions, is undergoing alterations and repairs, prior to its being occupied by the Princess Helena and her husband. The Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter and Lady Victoria Cecil have arrived at their reaidene• in Grosvenor-square for the season. The Earl and Countess of Dudley are expected to arrive at Dudley House, Park-lane, on Friday next, from the Continent. Upon the application of Mr. 0.

It will be remembered that the prisoner cut his own throat, and it was stated that he was at present in the hospital in a very dangerous condition, and utterly unable to attend. Upon this ground the trial wee postponed. lives and three liberals.

He was only a isesbir. of the government, and the matter would have to win be g to Itle before his consignee. The question had arisen the judgment of the House of Lonls, upon wdieb !j ai l gentlemen had Placed a wrong . construction.

GREAT NORTHERN HOSPITAL, CALEDONIAN-ROAD, ISLINGTON, N.—Number of patients for the week ending May 5, 1,096, of which 272 were new cases. THE POLICY OF PRANCE. The Times interprets the recent statements of M. Rouher to mean that the French government does not wish to go to war or to aid one belligerent against another ; but that it nevertheless reserves to itself a liberty of action so complete that neither the chamber nor the country will have any right to complain should its troops be found a month hence in order of battle on the banks of the Elbe or of the Mincio. M. Thiers, whose characteristic it is to be for ever conjuring up dangers against which it is the duty of France to arm, and to represent his country as one which can only subsist in safety by the weakness of their neighbours, probably himself distrusts the pacific inten tions of his government, inasmuch as it has only to make known its wishes to secure the peace of the Continent ; and the Time is very much of the opinion it attributes to M. Thiers, and finds it impossible to believe that even in her present difficulty Italy would venture upon so terrible an expedient as a war with Austria unless she bad an intimation, however informal, that she would receive powerful support. It is doubtless understc id between Prussia and Italy that if Austria can be disarmed on one side she is to be attacked on the other ; but France could prevent this on the part of Italy at once ; and even in the case of Prawns. it is by no means certain that a similar result would not follow if France desired it. The chances of peace in Europe hang at this moment upon a thread, and that threw' we believe to be the chance whether, even at the last moment. the Emperor of the French will not think the risk he runs too great for the success it promises and recall the per mission which either directly or by implic.tion he has probably given. According to the Pod there is to be a war whether France likes it or not. The Telegraph will not regard the comparative silence of the Emperor Napoleon as evincing a desire for war, but rather inclines to the belief that his government would prefer a specific solution of the difficulty, though there 4 no reason as yet to suppose that such a preference is strong enough to induce the Emperor to interfere actively in order to secure peace. CROLIMA Mm ILIGGRATIO!t. As far as we can judge, observes the Tilton, cholera is brought here by the German emigrant 4 in a latent state, and is produced only by the unhealthy condition, of an emigrant ship. It is not discoverable before the voyage begins, and it cashes after the voyage is concluded. Neither at Liverpool, through which town these infected emigrants pass, nor at New York, where they are landed, has the cholera been established. Government, it is said, has already taken steps to block to a certain extent the channel through England against the stream of German emigrants, but as we cannot close our ports against the world, we should do as the Americans have done—place infected ships under quarantine, and provide accommoda• tion for suffering passengers. Our old ships of the line have many recommendations for the purpose of cholera hospitals, and can be made ready for service at once. One of the Liverpool steam companies has already undertaken to place two hulks in the Mersey for the reception of pas senger, either sick or under quarantine, and it will be found, we should hope, by no means " impossible" for the Admiralty to contribute from its abundant stock to the organisation of which a private navigation company has thus set the example. The Telegraph remarks that the passengers by the Helvetia, the England, and the Virginia were Low-Ger mans from Friesland and the Dutch swamps, where all the winter there has been that which is too freely called "Asiatic cholera." These people habitually live as poorly as savages, on saver-kraut, smoked hogs'-flesh, and lager bier. They started from an atmosphere full of cattle plague and choleraic influences ; at Liverpool they were stowed like sardines for the voyage ; the England, vessel _ _ of 2,700 tons, had more than eleven hundred of them be tween decks ; the Virginia took a thousand and forty ; and th e Helvetia was also crammed. MC 7/1291/101ZNTATION OF tOYFITSORAX. In the last parliament the very abundance of liberal strength in several boroughs attracted an excess of much. dates, whose competition divided the liberal interest and handed the representation over to a conservative minority, and the Daily News fears that the same result will follow at Nottingham from the candidateship of Mr. ....iimill
