YORKSHIRE is apt to pique itself on its rough ness, but those who know the county character best assure us that substantial kindness uuderlies a rugged exterior. During the last week two cases have come before the public which might at first suggest that this roughness was more than super acial, the moreso as it was that of persons in uthority; but, happily for the credit of the county, in both the superior authority refused to counte nance the acts complained of. The first came before the magistrates of Think, on a charge of vagrancy brought by their Chairman, Mr. LLOYD, against a lad of the age of 17. The prosecutor, we are told, was seated on the bench, but refrained from other interference than by interruptions. We give his evidence in his own word..*: When I was on the road through Thornborough I over took the prisoner. who solicited alms of ma I got off my hone, when the defendant jumped over the hedge Into the field and ran away. I ran after him over the field and punned him, when be took refuge is the gutter beneath a thorn bush. I struck hint ones or twice to make him sur render; indeed, I should have felt it my duty to have hit him again, if naceseary to his apprehension. The defendant cried out murder, and I told him to shout out louder, as I should the mussy get some one to insist me in taking him talc custody. I told him unlem he surrendered L should feel it my duty to stay with him there all night. I folded my arms with my whip in hand, and stood over him. Eventually the winneres. Weighell and another man, came up, and I gave the prisoner into their custody, to be brought to the Think loek-up os a charge of vagrancy. The other witnesses corroborated the fact of the boy calling out "Murder," of his being found cowering in a ditch under a thorn tree, and of the prosecutor standing over him whip in hand. But they bad not been present when the parties met on the road, and so could say nothing as to the charge of begging. The boy himself, however, de. niod that he had begged, and declared that he was going home to his master's at Think, when Mr. Li.ovo passed on horseback, and that he only said, " Good night, sir." "Thereupon," he continued— Yr. Lloyd drew aphis horse and atteroptei to ride over ma I jumped over the hedge let) a field. He got off his horse, which be let g I ran sway—l was much afraid. He overto3k and held me with owe band, and struck me several times with the whip.stook. I got into a &utter, and pat myself under a thorn bush to protect my head. I enlist out "Murder," and Mr. and the other man cuss up. On this the magistrates dismissed the charge of vagrancy as not proved. But as the energetic Chairman bad struck the boy so severely that his head was still bandaged up, and be was under the care of surgeons, we are not surprised to be in formed that other proceedings are likely to be taken. Of one point, however, we should expect the trial already had to be conclusive. Mr. LLOYD'S own evidence is such as will probably lead Sir GEORGE GREY to think he is hardly a fit person to hold her MAJK,TY'S commission of the pesos. When a magistrate, assuming even that he had encountered a vagrant, thinks it proper to hunt him over a hedge into a field, and "to strike him " once or twice to make him surrender," and adds, in cold blood, that he "should have felt it his " duty to hit him again if necessary to his appro." hension ;" and when it is proved that in this zeal for the apprehension of a vagrant he out the vagrant's head open with the stock of his whip, he gives evidence of a violence of temper and an ignorance of law which would make his continuance ou the bench an insult to public justice and decency. The second case to which we have referred seems to have arisen out of a similar desire for the repression, or at least the transference, of vagrancy. A young woman, a new-made widow, was plying her trade as a hawker at Tadcsster fair. Next morning she went to the station to return to her home at Leeds, but was taken in labour, and delivered of a child in the waiting room. The parish surgeon was sent for, and at tended, but the poor woman was left sitting in a straight-backed chair from eight in the morning till three in the afternoon. By this time the over seer, assistantrovetseer, and relieving officer met the surgeon at the station, and they agreed in hiring a cart in which the wretched creature was wrapped in blankets and taken, not to their own workhouse, but to Leeds, where she was made chargeable as a " casual." Evidence, we are told, was adduced " to show that no inhumanity had " been used in the matter, and that it was the re " peatedly expressed wish of the poor woman her " .*elf to be removed to Leeds, where her mother large, however, upon which the Leeds magistrates was not that conspiracy to cense a pauper to another parish. And on four defendants were rou t 51. each. satisfactory that the actors in should be punishable on one head and should be fined W.. for try . pariah if they cannot be im cruelty. But the form of the ions commentary on the greater a for purse than for person. Nor 'comfortable torus, with Christmas so the way in which these matters parish officials in Yorkshire and ingenuity of the plea that there inhumanity," for it was the woman's own wish to be taken to Leeds to her mother, cannot but suggest that the spirit which was pourtrayed in " Oliver Twist" is still very far from being tint in parish management of paupers. We do I not in the least disbelieve that the woman uttered such an entreaty. What woman who was kept' sitting in a strai g ht-backed chair in a ra ilway wait ing-raom for seven hours a fter being delivered of a child would not prey to be taken to her mother, at any distance, rather than remain in such hands Bat would the overseer, or the assistant overseer, or the relieving officer, have thought such treatment " humane " in the case of wife or sister of theirs t Would they have thought all blame of inhumanity removed if, after the seven bourses of torture in the hands of strauger• and parochial officers, a prayer had been uttered to be taken " home," and thereupon a cart with straw and blankets had been provided for journey of we know not how many miles? Well, is this a ve ry monstrous test to apply to their conduct, or to the conduct of any pari sh officers Alas, it is no test of exceptional virtue ; it is only the test by which we all must be tried—the teat whether we have done to others as we would have others do to us--a rule so simple and yet so herd ; for it is hard to remember that a vagrant pauper is a sister woman. OUR CONTEMPORARIEE3. (THIS DAY.) THE NILE SUPPLY. Mr. Morton, who read a paper the other day before the Society of Arts on the subject of the supply of milk. estimates the number of cattle from which the supply of milk for Landon wee drawn a few months ego at about 20,000. and ha believe' that owing to the ravages of the rindorpse4 this number is DOW reduced by o ae-balf —that is, to 10.000 sews, which are of excellent quality and well oared for. Aooording to him, it is a mistake to treat London cowsheds as indrawn. The article which they supply is good end wholesome, end we should lase both in quantity and quality by the expel sioa of cows beyond the limits of the metropolis. It is be tween the pail sod the teacup, observes the Timm, that the mischief is done. A good deal of milk is sold in Lon don which is so diluted that rennet has no effect upon it. A considerable quantity consists of two-thirds of water to one third of milk, and • dealer may be considered moderate who sells one-third of water and two-thirds of milk for pure milk. There is, however, some balm in Gilead. Mr. Morton Winks that water is the only instrument of adul teration. As a remedy he points out that tf an inspector were allowed to take a simple of the milk as gives by the cow, and then to compere it with the liquid retailed to the public, he would have • standard of comparison which would enable him to SKlNlffillib, and the magistrate to punish. the exact amount of adulbsretion, tibial might be met by • scale of peorities increasing in severity just as the propor- Coo of milk to water in the compound sold diminished. It is the fashion to say that people cannot be oxide honest by ad of parliament- It really looks as if the retail milk trade were an exception to this aphorism. and the Times would mach like to see the experiment tried, as it entirely despairs of effecting the our, by any len energetic insane. The Daily New learns from Cheshire and other parte of the ootintry that the farmers am taking advantage of the markets opened to them by the growth of the towns and the extension of railways, and find a rode in milk more pro fitable than the manufacture of either cheese or butter, which has hitherto made milk so scares. Cheese may be had from a wide mace of foreign countries ; and we read of new efforts to promote its production in Fnmese We import butter largely, and are still making more and more at home.

The Daily Nem comments epos the continued dif. femme between the two houses of legislature in Victoria, defending the cause bikes by Sir Charles Darling, and eon- Meetly pew:Sethi that the striate will end in the suer mot of that body which rests up= the broader basis of representation. The speech delivered by the new Kiog of the Belgians in presence of the Chambers is spoken of by the Part as worthy of a sovereign who fully recopisse the fact that he la a constitutional monarch ; and the Telegraph thinks that his words mast have gone straight to the national heart. The Teleiraph also believes that a misapprehension of the yens' King's astute, is abroad. A certain hungry passion for knowledge is hie especial attribute, and those who know most of Leopold IL entertain little doubt that, whatever alas he may prove when tried by experionos, he will not present to Europe thespectacle of a King contacted to be the mouthpiece of priesta, or the puppet of a party.

The Herald speaks of President Johoeon's message as a well-worded and welloonoeived document, lucid in its language end laudably moderate in ita tone, and thinks it not unfair to require that the South should adhere to the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery. The con. tittered must szpest to yield in something, sod In this matter the South must be prepared to smiles the movie tiOn which has been honestly eatertained by her foremost chisels", that a condition of servitude is the state of life most edited to the negro.

We are to lower certain duties which Austria regards as a cheek upon her commerce with VA ; she is to break down the huge barrier of restriction@ which has made it so difficult for English commodities to reach her markets.

The following is the text of the address to be pre sented to Dr. Colonso, upon his arrival at Natal : "My Lord, —It is with singular pleasure that we hail your return to Natal after an absence of three years, during which period your lordship has been engaged in the arduous task of combating ancient prejudices and loosening the ancient hold of mediaeval traditions. We heartily congratulate you on the successful result of your sojourn in England, and that you have added one more name to the illustrious catalogue of thaw who without fear and with singleness of heart and honesty of purpose have maintained the in alienable rights of all men to exercise their own mental powers, and freely investigate all subjects, whether scientific or religious. Let us hope, my lord, that although y o ur return may be threatened by the powers of that darkness you have happily assisted to disperse in the mother country, it will be the harbinger of a new era in the land of our adoption, and that your example both moral and intellectual may impel ns onward in the fulfilment of our mission. We have the honour to be your lordship's obedient humble servanta." (Here follow 130 signatures, and the number is daily increasing.) The Bishops of Cape-town, Graham's-town, and the Free State, had publicly pronounced that to join the communion of Dr. Colenso would be to separate from the communion of the church of England, and recommended that the clergy should elect another bishop, the choice to be approved of by the faithful laity. nt 614111.

The Times picks out some facts from the annual report of the Metropolitan Board of Works, respecting the main drainage scheme, the Thames embankment, the new streets which an in hand, and the care which the board are taking of our open space* and commons, and remarks that on the Ist of !January next its member will appear before the public in an entirely new capacity, parliament having trees. forted to them the whole duty, insofar as that duty has yet beau acknowledged, "of extinguishing fires and protecting life and property within the metropolis." All the stations, fire engines, escapes, and general plant of the insurance companies see to pre over oar to Board of Works. Starting with this nucleus it will maintain an efficiest Fire Brigade for the security of the capital, and, indeed, of t it environs, for it is empowered to go on duty beyond the mits of its domain on condition of its receiving indemnity for the ser vice. This will make a little addition to the metropolitan rates, but such addition is never to exceed one halfpenny in the pound upon the whole year. The balance of the charge will be defrayed by contributions from the Insurance Companies and a quota from the Treasury. With regard to the supply of money, sot being able to get hold of the hackney carriage duties, the Board contents itself with the coal and win* duties, raised to the requisite total by direct taxation, but it is evidently a rising body, with what is called "a future" before it, and when it gets the whole valley of the Thames under its care for the protection of the river's parity, and fifty new functions besides, there is so telling what resources it may ultimately command. The Port says the Metropolitan Underground Railway has special dangers, some of which the public have already ap preciated, whilst others have not yet been taken account of. Of the latter, the moat serious is the use of naphtha. The use of naphtha lamps in • subterranean tunnel should be • matter of much caution, and subterranean naphtha stores in the tunnel of any railroad should not for a day be counteemieed. The City Traffic Regulation Bill, circulated by the Lon don corporation, intended to regulate the City traffic, is described by the Herald as • very large and startling mea sure of local self-government, so large that should its provisions be enforced, and still leave the City thorough fares in their present "admired disorder," and subject to their present perils, then the City traffic is samoutrollable and beyond amelioration at the hands of anybody whom soever. The corporation now asks for much larger powers for the purpose of relieving the traffic by regulating its incidence. It would have authority to regu late the height and breadth of vehicles and mer chandise en route during business hours—that is, be tween 9in the mottling and 6in the evening. In this interval it would altogether prohibit the use of more than four draught horses to one waggon, or van, or timber thick. On the delivery of coals and beer it would lay a veto, save at certain tunes when a coil waggon or a brewer's dray may Mend in the road for an hoar cr two without causing a " block "of half a mile lon. It also desires to regulate the speed of heavy vehicles in certain City thoroughfares. The covered nos or tilted cans are not to pass through the City unless they are driven from the box, or led by the carter, or so constructed that the driver can seen laterally as well as straight shad. We are to know, by a distin guishing mark, when a cab is disengaged. No lad tinder 20 years of age is to be allowed to drive more than one horse at • time through the City, and boys under 16 are not to drive in the City at all. The City Commissioners of Sewers, with the comsat of the Commis Council, are to construct bridges scram packed defiles and dangerous charms, subways below them. The Ambient and the commissionaire are to be licensed, and to stand at appointed places in due order ; lied the kind of traffic which is done laboriously by hand vehicles, finds is the bill doe attention. The penalties enumerated for infriegemset of its provisions an to fall, not on the drivers or persona in charge of arta, vans, waggons, Ac., but on the owners. The Telegraph, with reference to the general ohs/solar and conception of the bill, says that none could be seen laudable, more necessary. or more difficult. LANURE. BRUSSELS, DEC. 18. Yesterday evening the Senate and Chamber of Representatives repaired in a body to the royal Palace. The Senate was received by the King at 7 o'clock. The Queen was at his Majesty's side, with the royal family, the Count of Flanders, and the ministers surrounding the throne. The King replied to the addresses in the follow ing terms : Gentlemen Repreeentativek—Still ender the smotlea produced by the sympathetic welcome that I received but a few hours since from a National Palace. I can only thank you from the bottom of MI heart for the friendly words the President has just addressed to me, in the name of the Chamber of Representatives. Impressed with the importance of the duties imposed upon me, I shall consecrate all my efforts to maintain and develop our glorious and free institutions. If the support of the Chamber of Representatives is at all times necessary to me foe the fritilmeot of my constitu tional mission, it is especially valuable to me at the commencement of a reign I desire to render worthy of him who preceded me, and I am convinced that we shall ever remain united for the welfare of our country. I thank you for the wishes you entertain for the Queen and the royal family. This official reply, read by h is Majesty, was fol lowed by a familiar and improvised speech. The King, approaching the Prince de Ligne and M. E. Vandenpeereboom, said in an earnest and affec tionate tone : Gentlemen,—l hare just thanked the Chamber. I now desire individually to thank each of its members for the testimonies of regret that have been Grimed for my Wh ir ' s memory, and for the tokens of sympathy that have been lavished upon me today.l desire t 3 press the hand of each of you — l do so by 'Wang the hand of your worthy president. The members present greeted these words with a unanimous cry of " Vire le R3i " The two assemblies separated at half-past eight o'clock.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. OWN NZ Owl PARIS. Moircus Emma: The marriage of Princess Anna Murat with the Duke de Mouchy was solemnised to-day in the chapel of the Tuileries. The evening Moniteur simply announces the fact, end that the bride and bridegroom have given 3,000 fr. to the poor of the parish. By special favour the civil marriage which alone by the laws of France has any legal validity, took place (at 10i) at the house of the bride's father, Prinos Lucien Murat, No. 2, Avenue Mon taigne, instead of at the mayoralty. At 11 the court carriages en grand gala drew up before the house in the Avenue Montaigne, and the bride with her father and bridesmaids were conducted to the Tuileries in a carriage and six. In the chape‘which is very small, and could scarcely hold the extremely select company invited, the Emperor, Empress, and the Imperial Prince occupied the State pew. On the left of the Empreas were seated the Princess Hohenzollern, the Princess Msthilde, and the Princess Christine Bonaparte. On the Emperor's right were the Prince Hohenzollern and the Im perial Prince. One of the bridegroom's witnesses was his relative the Duke de Valencay. The other was to have been the Prince Mare de Beauvau, but a domestic calamity prevented him from attending. It is a well-known fact, which need only be sum marily recorded here, that many of the duke's grand relations who belong to the proudest blood is France stayed away because they did not think the marriage good enough for him. The Princess Anna Murat's witnesses were Prince Joachim Murat, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Guides, and Prince Lucien Bonaparte, the apostolic pro thonotory. Madame Standish and MM. Standish were on the Duke de Mouchy's right. All the officers of the Emperor's household and the ministers were in the galleried. The limited space in the nave of the chapel was crowded with invited spectators. The ceremony was performed by the Archbishop of Parie,who, according to custom, ad dressed an admonitory speech to the spouses, which, however, he made very short. A grand mass in music was performed, in the course of which Mdlle. Bloch, the new contralto of the Opera, sang Cherubini's Ave Maria, and the 0 &Maris was given by a recruit of the Imperial ' chapel, Mdlle. Oxtobie. Auber's y eni Creator and Agnus Dei were sung by the chortle, and the Doinine Sebum concluded the ceremony. After • breskfast at the Tuileries the bride and bridegroom started for the duke's principal country residence, Mouchyd&CasteL It is said they will be in Paris for the new year's festivities at the Tuileri ha es. Prince Some of the evening papers say that Napoleon came to Paris from Switzerland expressly to attend M. Bizio's funeral, and that he followed the hearse side by aide with M. Nigra, the Italian envoy. French journals, however, are so recklessly inaccurate that one can never repeat what they say without great risk of contradiction. M. Etienne Arago, who gives an account of the funeral in the Avenir National, does not mention the presence of the imperial mourner, which it is hard to think could have escaped his notice. The Prase, how ever, says that not only the Prince, but the Prin oess Clothilde and the children arrived this morning at the Palais RoyaL If so the absence of their imperial highnesses from the Princess Murat's wedding is most remarkable. A consmunigut in the Avemir National so far affords satisfaction to the strictures of the indepen dent press on the expulsion of five students from the Academy of Medicine for having attended the Liege Congress, as to publish the text of the academic decree of expulsion. The corpus delicti is stated to be that the students in question did at Liege and at Brussels "insult the I French flag, glorify the flag of terror and the red flag, revile religion, and violently attack the principles upon which social order rests ; that several of them preached insurrection and civil war ; and that all by their speeches and conduct insulted the government of their country." Long details follow, showing what the students said and aid, and which it must be admitted fully bear out the above indictment against them. They, when summoned before the heads of the academy, refused to answer, and pleaded that the disciplinary powers of the academy did not extend to the cognisance of speeches made by them in a foreign country. The public has now, therefore, full materials for forming an opinion whether the foolish, and if you like, wicked things uttered by these students at Brussels constituted a valid and sufficient reason for prohibiting them for ever from pursuing (their medical studies in Paris. My own view is that the interdiction is not likely to make them better citizens, or to do the state any good. To prevent l a very possible misconception, I call attention to the fact that they are not expelled from their coi -1 lege by any act of government—not, at least, by ' an y direct act—but by the heads of the establish ment, who are medical men of eminence. The Temps says that Stephens, the Fenian "Head Centre," was seen on the Boulevards yeeterday. It describes him as a well dressed, gentlemanly man of about 40. Another paper says, I know not whether in joke or not, that he has left his card upon Lord Cowley. M. Eugene Pelletan is preparing an article for I I the Revue des Deux blondes on Proudhon. The I spirit in which he will speak of the arch-sophist may be inferred from the following " energetic "1 expression to a friend :—" I intend to tear off the mask and the skin at the same time."
