del, and one of the officers belonging to the estates of Count Zamoyski had been carefully searched. The other day three students and a man cook were seized upon in the church and conducted to prison. The police are distributing in the houses small private papers said to have been discovered by them, announcing that the Archbishop Tolinski was to be shot, evidently with a view to excite the people to the perpetration of such hideous deeds. It is very much lik© the Russian police. AUSTRIA AND PRUS'SIA. The following is the text of the Note addressed by Count Rechberg to Count Karolyi, relative to the recognition of Italy by Prussia:— 46 VIENNA, JULY 26, 1562, "Monsieur le Comte,—l bogged Baron de Werther when he read to me a despatch charging him to inform the Impe. ial Cabinet of the recognition of the Neo- Italian Kingdom by Prussia to leave the documents connected therewith in my hands that I might place them before the Emperor. After referring to Berlin, Baron von Werther was authorised by his Court to grant that request, and consequently I was able to submit the correspondence to our most gracious Sovereign His Majesty charges you in consequence by these presents to bring to the knowledge of his Majesty the King of Prussia how much the Emperor Francis Joseph thanks the King for the resistance which he had hitherto opposed to the entreaties which were made to him to recognise what is called the Kingdom of Italy, and how much it is the sincere desire of the Emperor that Prussia * may never have to regret, in her own interests, the resolution which she has nevertheless just taken to recognise the success of the most violent revolution and flagrant violation of right and treaties. Your Excellency can accomplish this mission of the Emperor through the kind intermedium of Count de Bernstorff, which you can solicit for that purpose. Moreover, your Excellency certainly does not expect us to lose one word respecting the pretended ' guarantees' which Prussia has notified, and of the ' frank assurances' she has received at Turin. We think that these guaran tees' and frank assurances' aro not worth the paper upon which they aro written. We even believe that on this point General Durando is precisely of our opinion. —I am, Stc., "RECIIBERG." The Stero Zettung publishes the Prussian reply to the above, It is as follows : "BERLIN, July 31, '• Monsieur 1e Baron,—Count Karolyi, whom I have not been able to see recently, owing to the debates iu the Cham bers, has handed the annexed despatch to Privy Councillor Sydow, being a reply to our confidential communication on the question of the recognition of the kingdom of Italy. We thought we were not only fulfilling a federal duty to wards Germany, but were especially showing consideration and Federal friendship towards Austria, by requesting from the Turin Government as a preliminary condition of our recognition, certain guarantees and assurances, the import ance of which we certainly do not wish to exaggerate, but which, nevertheless, when examined without prejudice, are not.without value, and when, on the other hand, which is far more important than all Italian assurances, we have as sumed towards the new Kingdom of Italy and its eventual pretensions a most determined position by no means agree able to the Turin Cabinet, and which other European Cabi nets have appreciated in its full signification. . _ . . " If now the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs passes over this last circumstance in complete silence, and main tains that the first mentioned stipulations are not worth the paper upon which they are written, we truly do not share the belief expressed at the same time on this point that General Dm ando shares exactly the opinion of the Austrian Minister ; but at all events, from this reception of our amical communication, we have acquired the instructive experience that in future e shall be dispensed from all similar considerations of Austrian interests unless they come within the limits of our Federal duties. I authorize your Excellency to communicate the present to Count ltechberg in reply to his despatch of the 26th inst. " I am, &c., Count de BERNSTORFF, THE HOP 7RADE. A public meeting of the hop growers of Kent and Sussex was held yesterday afternoon at the Bridge house Hotel, for the pu pose of conferring with the trade in the borough f Southwark respecting the present method of w ighing h o p s , with a view to coming to some arrang ment as to the principle to be adopted in future, and also for the purpose of considering the question of the validity of the pre sent system of contract notes which pass between _the factors and the merchants. Mr. J. H. Hod sell occupied the chair. Mr. G. TURNER moved a resolution declaring that it was the opinion of the meeting that the pre sent method of weighing hops, as practised in the Borough, is most unsatisfactory, and that it was advisable that a customary allowance should be agreed uprn and established as a fair allowance to be made by the seller to the buyer upon the sale of hops for the cloth in which they are packed ; that hops in fixture should be weighed close, and a de duction of 31bs. made upon each pocket. Mr. BURY, in seconding the motion, said he con sidered the proposition a most fair one, and hoped it would be cordially adopted. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a question, observed that the resolution was not intended to apply to hops weighed after Christmas. After some discussion, it was agreed, on the suggestion of Mr. WOOLSTON, that on all future occasions the new clear hops ought to be weighed close, and words to that effect were added to the resolution. Mr. HEWETT was of opinion that the proposition would not meet the assent of the trade, though he did not state that on any specific authority. If the system of tare was to be meddl e d with at all it should be placed on the full principle of free trade, just as in the case of foreign hops. Mr. PUNNETT denied that the case of foreign hops afforded any analogy in the case. There could be no doubt that the present system inflicted a very great grievance upon the trade. The resolution was then put and agreed to, there being only five dissentients. On the motion of Mr. Elvy, seconded by Mr. T. Hayes, it was resolved that the planters assembled at the meeting, believing that the resolution just passed contains a fair and equitable promise, will, as far as in them lies, carry the same into effect, and endeavour to induce all the other planters to do the same. Mr. PUNNETT then addressed the meeting on the subject of the validity of the contracts between the merchants and growers, and moved a resolution to the effect that it was desirable that in all future cases the contract note should be received by both parties, the seller being enabled to demand of the buyer the names on the contract note, and the terms on which the hops were sold, so that in case of any dispute arising it might be settled by an appeal to the courts of law. Mr. WOOSTON thought that such a resolution was wholly unnecessary—that the trade, like the great produce market trade in Mincing-lane, was conducted on honourable principles ; and they bad in Southwark a body of men whose word was their bond. If the resolution was good at all it could be good only against the miserable trick sters, who could be better dealt with in other ways. Mr. PUNNETT replied that in Mincing-lane transactions the broker's book could be produced i n evidence, which was not the case in respect to the contract notes of hop factors. After some discussion the resolution was adopted, and a committee of planters was appointed to con er with the hop merchants in order to early out he proposed alterations. INTERNATIONAL EgiIIBITION.

They consisted of a circle of seventy feet piles with five feet iron shoes sunk in the rock round the foundation, to form the framework for the travel ling cranes by which the blocks of concrete were to be lowered into their places. The works had occupied six months in erection, and were approaching completion. The accident occurred at low water, when about 40 feet of the piles were exposed and a strong easterly W i n d was pre vailing. The eastern guys and piles first gave way fol lowed by the whole of the rest, all breaking off at the shoes. Eight men were on the piles, but escaped with a ducking.

Horace Vernet's illness is said to be the following :—Some years ago he fell from his horse and broke a rib, which was badly set, and a fresh fall which he had a few weeks ago broke the same rib, and brought on a painful and alarming tumour. Dr. Jobert de Lamballe was obliged to perform an operation, which appears to have succeeded, and 448 le4 t 9 an improyennut.

STEALING A GENTLEMAN'S VALUABLE GOLD WATCH AND Crum—Minnie Holmes, a well-dressed female, who gave the address 22, Crown•court, Great Russell-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch and chain of the value of £6O, the property of Mr. Clarence Savage, of 8, Northumberland-street, Strand. On the case being called on, the prosecutor was not in attendance, and the constable, John Cook, 106 C, said he wished for a remand, Mr. Tyrwhitt said before he could grant a retuand he must hear his (the officer's) statement. Cook then said, at half-past four this morning, from in formation he received, he apprehended the prisoner at a house in Earl's-court, Cranbourn-street. He told her she was charged with stealing a gold watch and chain, of the value of £6O, from a gentleman named Savage. She said it served her right, as she had no business on that ground, and that it was her first night of being there. On the way to the station he asked the prisoner what she knew of the watch, and she said that sho had not stolen it, but she knew who had it. He (the officer) had been to Mr. Savage's chambers and also to his residence, and he had left word that he would be in town either that or the next day, and would attend. Prisoner said she told the officer that she would tell all about it when before Mr. Savage and the magistrate. She knew Mr. Savage well, but nothing of his watch. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded her till Thursday. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THROUGH INABILITY TO OBTAIN ADMISSION TO AN HOSPITAL.--Edmund Parkins, a tall, ntigerable-looking man, who was obliged to be brought to the court in a cab, was charged with attempting to commit suicide by drowning himself in the Serpentine. A constable saw the prisoner in a state of nudity last night near the Serpentine, and en asking what he was going to do, he said " To commit suicide;" and, in answer to the questions, he said that he was in a state oi destitu tion, and that his legs were very bad, that he could not get into any hospital, and that the latter circumstance had in duced him to attempt to take his life. The prisoner was taken care of at the receiving-house, and he was obliged to have a cab to bring him to the court as he was unable from the state of his legs to walk. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded him for a week, stating that he would be looked after by the authorities at the House of Detention. SOUTHWARK. A BAD FATHER.—EIIen Coglan, a prostitute, was charged with assaulting her father, David Coglan, by striking him with a half-pint cup. The complainant, whose face was bound up, stated that the previous evening he, his wife, and two other women, with the prisoner, were together, and on one of the party bringing in some beer, the latter, without any provocation, took up the cup and flung it in his face. He was in his own house at the time, No. 4, George-yard, Redcross-street. The prisoner, in her defence, said that her father struck her first, and that he cut her finger with a knife. He de serted his wife and family, who were left without any sup port, and he married the woman who passed as his wife for about 11 years. Her mother died only a fortnight ago; and in addition to striking her, he spoke of her in bad terms. The statement of the complainant was corroborated by - a sister of the woman with whom he was cohabiting. Mr. Burcham said there was no doubt the complainant was a very bad man, and that it was owing perhaps to his misconduct that the prisoner was reduced to a life of pros titution, but he recommended her not to go to his place again. 101 Remanded until Tuesday neat. WESTMINSTER. A DISGRACEFUL FELLOW.—George Harry, a dirty- Looking fellow, was charged with wilful damage, under the following circumstances :-- John James Temple, a broker, residing at 19, North street, said that at half-past two o'clock this morning he was awoke and was told a man was in his back-yard destroying his property. Complainant got up, and saw the defendant on the top of his washhouse. A fence separating this yard and the next was all broken down, and all the tiles were broken in his endeavour to get into a back room. He was drunk. In answer to questions from the magistrates, complainant said the cause of defendant's coming there was that his wife lodged in the house. He was a most disreputable fellow, and had been away from her three months without contributing one farthing towards her support, and on the Ist of April he had been bound over to keep the peace toward her for six months, owing to his violence. His wife was a most industrious respectable woman, with a large family, and complainant had consented to allow her to lodge there, but had distinctly said he_would not have such a per son in his house as the accused. He had seen the 'defend ant the night before the above damage was committed,when he had threatened to come and break the house to pieces, to which observation complainant replied that he had nothing to do with defendant's quarrels, but would not have him in his house. A witness having been called to prove that the damage, estimated at £2, was done by the defendant, and who added that he waVa most disgraceful fellow, a terror to everyone, Defen/ant declared he was only trying to get to his home, and that his children had disgracefully assaulted him. Mr. Da - yman said that would not justify him in what he had done. He had no right go to Mr. Temple's house, he should send him to prison for a month in default of pay ing the amount of damage and 2s. 6d. fine. Ile was locked up.

ROUPELL. Mr. Roupell has been sketched from memory as follows, by an observer who used to notice him from the ladies' gallery of the house :—" Mr. Roupell was well known in the house, not from his standing therein, or any influence which he possessed, but rather as a young man representing a large consti tuency, which from its magnitude is supposed to be beyond the reach of corruption, and which never theless cost Mr. Roupell upwards of £9,000, when he sought the privilege of representing it. Up to March last Mr. Roupell , was looked upon in the house as one of the wealthy commoners of England. A domain in the immediate neighbourhood of the metropolis bore his name, and Roupell-park had only to be mentioned in the southern districts of the metropolis to conjure up, in the mind of the hearer, visions of vast wealth and territorial power. When Mr. Roupell was elected, he drove round the chief streets of Lambeth at the head of a length ened cortege, which looked like the precession of a conqueror, as indeed it was. Mr. Roupell was at that time regarded as the man of gold of Lambeth, and when he rode in triumph round the borough, with his mother seated in the carriage beside him, there were few who looked upon him who did not feel something akin to envy at the brilliant destiny to which, apparently, he had been called. We Neel, recollect the first appearance of Mr. Roupell in the House of Commons. In the way of oratory or statesmanship nothing was ever expected of him, and therefore no one was disappointed at his legis lative career. He could, however, speak not only with fluency, but with appropriate taste. - We heard his first speech in the House of Commons and we heard his last ; and the last, too, that he can ever made in any assembly of tbo kind, whatever may be his future destiny. Although Mr. Roupell entered the legislature so triumph antly, yet his Parliamentary career was beset with thorns from the very commencement. He had not been in the house in any weeks before the omi nous threats of a petition was heard, and it was speedily carried out. His election was petitioned against on the ground of corruption, and a length ened investigation took place. Before the com mittee appointed to try the merits of the petition Mr. Roupell was himself examined at great length, and we remember that in the course of that exami nation he was asked a question and gave an answer which are worth recalling as a kind of commenter} upon the proceedings of the past week. He was closely questioned with regard to his payments on account of the public-houses, and as to some alleged underhand proposition that had been made to him, which he repudiated. The examining counsel then put this question to him Suppose such a pro position had been made to you, what course would you have adopted with regard to it ?' And the an swer of Mr. Roupell was this : ' If:any man were to make such a proposition to me, or to make any kind of diehonoursble proposition, I would knock hire: down.' It is believed that the apparent frankness of that answer greatly influenced the committee in their decision, and they declared Mr. Roupell duly elected. And yet at that very moment he was raising money upon deeds that he had himself forged, upon spurious documents which he himseld had concocted, and upon a fictitious will whi c h l e had manufactured almost in the presence of his d, ead father's body. And who could ever have enter taint d a suspicion of these things from an obi;et:va tion of the man in the House of Commons ? No body. He looked like a frank gentleman ; bat it is now unhappily demonstrated that he was dissimu lation itself. He was rather short in stature; had an open, ingenuous countenance, which was adorn( 'd with a profusion of light beard, and at a distance) he presented a strong personal resemblance to the late Mr. Albert Smith." DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. Mr. Lawson and Mr. Potter, the members for Carlisle, were present at the annual fish dinner to the Mayor of Carlisle, on Friday last, at King Garth. In responding to the toast of " The health of the city members," Mr. LAWSON said he was afraid not much had been done for the public good in the late session. Lord Palmerston had told the people at Dover that the session was quite remarkable for the number of public benefits enacted, but with that tact for which he was celebrated, the noble lord had taken good care not to enumerate the t tn. (Laughter) Afte referring to some of the measures which had been before Parliament, Mr. Lawson alluded to the prevailing distress. He said : We feel that distress in Carlisle, though I do not know that it is yet so bad as in some parts of Lancashire; but I know it is very great. It behoves us all to do what we can for the relief of that distress; but I don't know that much can be done in the way of legislation. A bill has been passed to meet the difficulty, and I trust it will have the intended effect. The cause of that distress we all know, is the sad state of affairs in America. What are the causes of that war that fratricidal war, or who is to blame are not topics on which we can properly descant at present. There are different opinions on the subject —some think one right and some think the other right, and we can hardly dis cuss it without becoming partisans. I can only say that I raw with very deep regret the speech made by an hon. member of the House of Commons a short time since in which he said he positively rejoiced at the war in Ame rica. I did not think such a sentiment could be uttered by any Englishman. (Cheers.) lam sure I only utter the sentiment of every one hero when I say that we deeply grieve at that state of things, and hope and trust it may soon be brought to a termination, so that peace may reign again on the other side of the Atlantic, and our own suffer ing population may again have a return of prosperity. Mr. POTTER, M.P., in referring to the distress, said—l was honoured with a petition from the city of Carlisle, praying that the Poor-law measure should be one borne by the whole country. I venture to think that that prayer was a right one, and 1 did what I could to support it in the House of Commons ; however, the Legislature thought dif ferent, and willed that the districts themselves should bear the brunt of the pressure. Now I think that, remembering that the affliction under which they are suffering is brought about by almost a political measure, that is, the disturbance in America, it ought hardly to fall on the cotton districts themselves. However, the pressure is a very severe one; and although I am afraid it is introducing a very gloomy subject it is one wo are only on the verge of, and which I look upon with a strong feeling of fear. Whin I remember the large number dependent on that industry, when I remem ber the class of men who are now suffering, and remem ber that under no circumstances for the next six or eight months can we obtain a supply of cotton which will be the means of reducing the distress, the prospect is very Nadu'. (Hear.) But all classes—both the wealthy and the working classes—will go through the severe trial in a manner worthy of the people who are suff er i ng un d er it. (Cheers.) When' we look back and see the improvement made in the physical condition of the working classes of this country in the last 30 years, and when we remember that improvement is not less in their moral and intellectual education we must deeply re gret that a class of people of that standing should be placed in a state of suffering in which they are now labouring. However, not to dwell on a subject of that kind, we may hope that after a few months, if we can wear through, it will be ultimately the better for the country; we shall feel our selves more independent, and I think we shall come to a state of prosperity again, and after that we shall have no reason to regret the very severe pressure now upon us.

INCORPORATION OF LIVERY COMPANIES, 1327. —The reign of Edward 111. has been described "as the great dawn of the fine arts and of commerce" in this coun try. One of the first acts of this monarch was to incorporate trading societies in London, composed of English merchants. In the first year of his reign he gave birth to three of those great trading fraternities, which from generally assuming a distinctive dress or livery, came to be denominated livery companies; and the first three incorporated—the goldsmiths, the merchant tailors, and the skinners--define pretty tan gibly what were at that period generally regarded as the most important domestic trades of England.—Cciffer's Port and Trade of London. DUMB JUSTICE, —In the French law reports for he end of February, 1860, stands a report of a case before the High Court of Revision, with these headings in italics —" Judicial error—two innocent men condemned to hard labour—their deaths in the hulks—condemnation of the guilty—prohibition to publish the report—appeal in cassa tion"—i.e. revision. Four or five years after the burglary —unhappily more than four or five years too late—and after the innocent had died of the sufferings due only to the guilty in the month of February, 1860, three men, named Jambon, 011ivier, and Mallon, and a woman called Widow Sinquin, were clearly found guilty of the burglary com mitted in the house of the Guigoures family, and wore justly condemned to the identical penalties under which the two innocent men had died. But when trying and punishing the guilty, the assize court of Finistere, which had permitted the publication of the evidence against the innocent, prohibited the publication of any report of their proceedings. The power appears to have been conferred upon the tribunals by a clause in a decree issued by the Prince-President of the Republic, on the 17th Feb., 1852. Oddly enough, certain of the guilty re isoners appealed against the sentence which condemned them, and one of the pleas of their appeal was, that there had been an unconstitutional prohibition of the publication of the pro ceedings of the court which tried them. Why padolicity was more inconvenient in 1560 than in 1554 the court did not say ; yet not one paragraph, sentence, or line, of the evidence establishing the innocence of Baffet and Louarn was allowed to be published. The only amends made wan the following sentence from the speech of the imperial pro curator :—" The real criminals are to-day in the bands i d justice. They await the chastisement they ha ve so just merited, The deaths of Louarn and Baffet ma ke it impos sible to repair the judicial error of which they were d t i h c e t victims ; but the deletes of this tr ial, and the new ver of the jury, will be a brilliant and solemn restorationn of their memory."

RAILWAY BRIDGE AT WALWORTIC—A few days I Ago the Newington vestry showed a disposition to interdict the Chatham and Dover Railway in respect to the bridge over the Walworth-road. The discussion on the subject was resumed last Wednesday, and after a full debate of several hours a division was called for, when the numbers were for proceeding with the injunction 19 against 34 ; so that the company may lower the path or otherwise as they please. A BRAVE AND HEROIC ACT.—Some workmen in the employ of Mr. Wm. Davis, the mayor of Haverford west, have been sinking a well in a field in Shut-street lane. On finishing their work last Friday, they had sunk to about 33 feet, and there was at the time about seven or eight feet of water. The same evening a girl, about tea ears of ago, named Hannah Evans, daughter of a w idow woman residing in Shut-street, fell into it. The shrieks o f her companions alarmed George Evans, a m ason, who resides in one of the houses abutting on the field. Seeing no help near he ran back to his house, and quickly returned with a thin rope, hardly strong enough to hold the weight of a heavy man. One end of this he rapidly hitched round a log of wood near the mouth of the well, and throwing the other end down to the water, the brave fellow, without , any hesitation, commenced his descent. The poor child, however, had sunk before he reached the water, and he was consequently obliged to dive to the bottom, about seven or eight feet, After a while he found her and rose with her to the surface, but his own strength was ne,,rly exhausted, A number of men had by this time arrived, an d t h e y with more zeal than knowledge began to haul up the rope rapidly. The consequence was that E vans was jerked a bout fearfull y , and his hands terribl y mangled with the rope. Ile, however, held on, and pre sently he and the little girl whom he had rescued were safe. Evans will be unable to work for weeks to come, and the case is ono in which assistance is richly deserved. —lVelshman. DEATH FROM A MISTAKE BY A CHEMlST.—Be tween one and two o'clock on Sunday morning a labouring man, named Patrick Farrell, aged 55, of Poole's-place, Mount-pleasant, Clerkenwell, died, as it would appear, from oxalic acid, administered by mistake for Epsom salts. The wife of the deceased went to purchase a pennyworth of salts and a pennyworth of senna at a chemist's shop in the ' neighbourhood. Instead of the right medicine, it is stated that a packet cf salts and oxalic acid was served by the as sistant. On returning the wife proceeded to make " senna tea" for her husband. On opening the package she said — "He has given me all salts," upon which shereturned to the shop to get the senna, but the shop was closed. Upon her return, previous to his going to bed, the husband said he ou ld take the salts, upon which she opened the smallest of w the packages and gave it to him, After ho had swallowed it he complained of a burning sensation in the throat, and, from the alarming symptoms, medical aid was called in, and Mr. Bryant, of Laystall-street, and Mr. Day, of James street, were promptly in attendance. The poor man was found to be dead. The assistant, we are informed, has been taken into custody to await the result of the post mortem ex amination and inquest.

We make no pretension to the utterance cf any thing original when we say it is dangerous to be kind; but only those who are kind know of what sort the danger is, and how much self denial is needed, first, to do a good deed, and next to bear with its too often unpleasant consequences. We believe it to be the experience of every citizen given to acts of unobtrusive philanthropy, that the annoyances which follow them are enough almost to make a stout heart quail, and compel a geniai nature to belie itself, for the mere sake of peace and quiet. But this part of the subject, embracing as it does all the asperities of human ingratitude, would better suit the pen of the leisurely essayist than that of the newspaper writer, whose duty it is to deduce conclusions from events as they fly past in the rapidly -moving panorama which nature paints and time exhibits for the edifica tion of both men and angels. Had we space and inclination to moralise, events would furnish themes suitable for discourse in these columns, for even in the present week a person has been tried by a jury on a charge of endeavouring to extort money under threats that make one shudder.

His privacy is invaded, his business interrupted, his peace disturbed, his very means of enjoying life and doing good made, in some measure, a discomfort to him; he is like the well-fed and well-disposed house dog, who fell into the company of a pack of hungry wolves, and the howling of the pack warns him that ho (is to be torn to pieces. The only means of replying to applicants for charitable assistance, is by a printed circular in which Mr. Peabody says , " The imm ense num b er o f letters daily arriving at his address renders it difficult for him to read them even partially ; and a written reply to each would take up the time of a dozen persons. To those who ask pecuniary relief, Mr. Peabody will say that if his means would allow him to assist all in adversity, nothing would give him more:pleasure; but as they are not, applicants must take the will for the deed. To give one-tenth that ask, would deprive Mr. Peabody 'of the means of support in one month." We venture to say that this is the most curious of all the curiosities of benevolence, and we do ear nestly hope there will be no occasion to inscribe on Mr. Peabody's tomb the short epitaph, " Worried to Death."— City Press. ANOTHER CRINOLINE ACCIDENT.—About 1100E1 yesterday, a lady named Brandon was going across the Euston road, for the purpose of entering an Exhibition omnibus, when at the moment she had reached the - vehicle, a mail cart from the railway station, turning the corner of Seymour-street, passed so closely behind her that her dress was caught by the wheel, and she was dragged a consider able distance before she could be extricated.
