WIFE AT CLAPHAM: -4- John Gay, aged 34, a shoemaker, living at No. 4, New-road, Clapham, was placed in the dock of Wandsworth Police-court, before Mr. Dayman, yesterday, charged with feloniously cutting the throat of his wife, Mary Ann Gay, with a razor, in the passage of No. 5, Park-place, Clapham, with the intent to murder. The following medical certificate was attached to the police-sheet:— "This is to certify that Mary Ann Gay was brought to this hospital this morning with her throat cut. There was one wound on the left side about four inches in extent, ex ternally round the front of the neck, meeting a shorter one of two inches on the right side of the neck. The trachea and other large vessels were uninjured. " Guy's Hospital, April 5." "E. W. COLEMAN. The prisoner presented a very dirty and dissi pated appearance, and his hands still bore the colour of blood upon them. Sergeant Newman, 25 V, deposed that about ten minutes to six o'clock that morning he was on duty in the Old Town of Clapham, when he saw the pri soner about twenty yards off walking as fast as he could towards him. There were between eight and ten men following behind holding up their hands and calling out to stop the prisoner. He then ran to witness, who said he did not want any stopping. He also said that he had done it. At that time the mob came up and said the prisoner had cut his wife's throat. The prisoner replied that he had done it, and that he was going to the station to give himself up. Witness took him to the station, and he afterwards returned to No. 5, Park-place, where he found the prisoner's wife sitting on the floor in the back room. Dr. M'Donald, of Clapham, was present, and had dressed the wounds before he arrived. The wounds were in front of the throat. The doctor recommended her removal to the hos pital, and he at once proceeded to taka her there, where she was admitted. He remained there for an hour and a half, and Dr. Coleman, the house surgeon, gave him the certificate. The witness added that the prisoner and his wife were not living together. Mr. Day man asked the prisoner if he had any questions to put to the witness, and he answered in the negative. Sergeant Newman said that when at the station a razor was handed to him, and both the blade and the handle were covered with blood. Sarah Clements, a married woman, said she oc cupied the house, 5, Park-place. She had known the prisoner and his wife for about four years. The wife had been lodging with her a fortnight next Saturday, apart from her husband. Ile came on the previous night and was watching about in front of the house. She went out for an errand about half past 9 o'clock, and the prisoner asked her where Polly was. She told him that she did not know, as . she had not come home from her work. She then left him, and as she returned she met the wife, who said her husband was in the house and she was afraid to go in, as he had threatened her before. Witness persuaded her to go in, and they found him sitting with her husband. The prisoner pressed his wife to have some beer, but she refused at first, and upon witness persuading her she consented to have some. He then took a mug and went out for a pot of beer. When he returned they all partook of it, and both her and her husband wished him to go. He hesitated, and wanted to fetch some more beer. The wife refused to have any more, and they then had a word or two about his leaving her in debt, but they did not appear to be in any way angry with each other. He then wished her good night, and asked her to shake hands. She con sented, and he then looked at her and asked her to allow him to stop with her the night, but she re fused. He then rushed up stairs after her, and with au oath declared that he would stop there that night. Witness told him that his wife was only a lodger, and when he saw that her things were in the room, he returned down stairs. Wit ness's husband told him to leave the house, and not to come there again. The prisoner then left, and she heard nothing more that night. About 20 minutes to six o'clock this morning witness was lighting the fire, when she heard a terrible noise in the street, and upon running out she saw Mrs. Gay bleeding from wounds in her throat, and covered with blood. She had a razor in her hand. Witness asked her what was the matter, and she said that her husband had cut her throat. Witness ran for a doctor, and some persons took Mrs. Gay into her room. As she went for the doctor she saw the prisoner in the lane behind her. He called her by most offensive epithets, and said she kept a brothel, because she sheltered his wife when no other person would take her in. He also said that if she belonged to him he would serve her in the same way as he had done his wife, who he called by an improper name. She returned with the doc tor, and he dressed the wounds. Witness's little boy saw him (the prisoner) kneeling upon his wife at the bottom of the stairs. The wounds extended from ear to ear, and she had both her hands cut in wresting the razor from the prisoner. The prisoner said he had nothing to ask the witness, hut part of her statement was false. Mr. Wm. Young, a builder, of Park-hill, said that shortly before 6 o'clock this morning he was in his garden, when he heard fearful screams. He went out of his gate and turned down the street through King's Head-passage, followed by some other per sons. Upon turning an angle he caught sight of the woman sitting upon the kerb filmes, about 100 yards from her home, rolling about fearfully. He observed that she was covered in blood, and as she was holding up her hand, with the razor in it, to her head, one person remarked that she had cut her throat. She denied th e o b serva ti on , an d imme diately said that her husband had done it. She was so disfigured that witness was unable to recognise her at first. He then went in search of a constable, and on the way saw the prisoner. He followed him, andsaw him cross over to the pond in front of the Cock public-house, where he stooped down and washed his hands. The prisoner then walked away very orderly in the direction of the police-station, but he saw the sergeant and gave himself up. Witness gave the razor up at the station, upon which the prisoner pulled out the sheath and said that belonged to it. The razor was dripping with blood when he took it out of the wife's hand. There was no one near her when he first saw her sit ting on the kerb stones. Inspector Proctor said that was all the evidence he had to offer that day, and he asked his worship to remand the prisoner. Mr. Dayman said he saw by the certificate that none of the large vessels of the throat were cut. Inspector Proctor said they were not, and he was happy to say there was no immediate danger. Mr. Dayman said he should remand him for a week. The prisoner was then removed to the cells without saying a word. It appeared that the prisoner had been in custody several times for his violent conduct to his wife. He had broken up the home three or four time s which she h a d provided through her industry. It also appeared that shortly before six o'clock yes terday morning the prisoner knocked at the door, which was opened by his wife. Ire then made an excuse that he had come for a little bag he had left there over night, and afterwards that he wanted some water to drink. Upon getting into the pas sage he rushed upon her and cut her throat. There was a desperate struggle, and as she was a tall, nus cular woman, she was able to wrestle with him, and to take the razor from him. It is expected that she will be able to appear in court in a week or two to give evidence against the prisoner, (Froin Hr. Tlioibur)i's Quart*ly Circular of March 31.) The first quarter of 1860 !;hall ever be memorable in the iron trade. Of the 125 furnaces in blast in January last 80 were stopped for fully five weeks, owing to the "strike" among the colliers and miners at the Govan Works. The production has been in Consequence diminished 75,000 tons. • The export of pig iron was retarded by political possibilities and the scarcity.of tonn2ge, but, com bined with the local consumption, the total quantity absorbed in the quarter just closing amounts to 202,000-tons—the make in the same period being only 170,000 tons, the stock has thus been reduced 12,000 tons, and is now 298,000 tons lyingin ware house-keepers' and makers' stores. - , The perplexities which beset the settlement of Italian affairs at the opening of the year caused de. dining prices —as low as 553 Gd was accepted for mixed numbers. But the "strike" and damping of the furnaces, coupled with that great event of com mercial and financial importance—the unexpected commercial treaty with France, and the adoption by that country of the principles of free trade, gava a stimulus to the market, and extensive operations were entered into at from 56s 6d to 61s Gd per ton before the fourth of last month. The hope ful anticipations which arose on the appearance of the Imperial programme were, however, neutra lised by the distrust and uncertainty excited by the annexation of the CissAlpine provinces of Sardinia to France. The price in consequence has gradually declined with an occasional rally of about is per ton, and averaged in January 575, February COs, and March 57s 9d, It is remarkable, in contrasting the "strike" just terminated with that of 1856.----(when only 40 fur naces were out of 'blast, and .the production cur tailed by only 40,000 tons)—that the price then ad vanced from 66s to 80s per ton, whereas the price is to-day is 6d per ton less than it was immediately preceding the commencement of the' "strike." The general condition of the trade of this city and surrounding districts is in all respects eminently satisfactory. The malleable works, foundries, and shipbuilding yards continue actively employed. The Canadian orders for the season are now in course of execution ; these have been comparatively small, though greater than for the previous two years. An increased demand is expseted to set in from Eng land. United States, and the Continent of Europe. Without indulging in extravagant estimates of the future, I venture to say that, taking into account the present prosperous trade of the country gene rally,--4he commercial advantages which must be derived from the vast extension of exports to France Russia, and Naples, constquent upon the important reduction of their import. duties on iron, a quick and substantial recovery from the existing depres sion will shortly be realised.

We learn from the American journals that the official presentation of Senor Berges, the Para guayan envoy and commissioner, to the President of the United States, took place at Washington on the Bth ult., the ratifications of the treaty of com merce and navigation, and of the special convention for the settlement of the late dispute between the two countries, having been exchanged on the 7th. President Buchanau'a reception of the Para guayan envoy was marked by the utmost cordiality, and he took occasion, in replying to the address of Senor Berges, to pay a merited tribute of praise to the course pursued by President Lopez as a statesman, and his efforts as a patriot to deve lope the resources of his country and the prosperity of its people. The Trashinyton 'Constitution of March Bth anticipated the sentiments of the Ame rican President, and, in calling attention to the important service rendered to commerce by the suc cessful mediation of General Lopez between Buenos Ayres and the Argentine Confederation, laments the late aggression of the British naval forces in the -, Plate against the flag of Paraguay, by which the , peace and progress of the Piatine region have again been placed in jeopardy. The unfortunate difference between Great Britain and Paraguay which has arisen out of the affair of Canstatt is the more regretted on account of the tendencies to wards peace and industry which have grown up under the auspices of Presidents Lopez and Ur quiza, and of which evidence has been afforded by the non-commission, during the late hostilities be tween Buenos Ayres and the Argentine Confedera tion, of any of those acts of rapine and bloodshed hitherto too frequent in the intestine quarrels of the Spanish-American republics. " This peaceful is sue," says the Constitution, " by contrast with the butcheries which disgraced the siege of Monte Video by Oribe, and which followed the overthrow of Ko3as, may surprise the cursory reader of South American news. But to one familiar with the recent history of the River Plate this his torical puzzle is easy of solution. Since the opening by Urquiza of the rivers Parana and Uruguay to the vessels of a ll nat i ons , commerce holds sway over those vast and fertile regions so long the hunting grounds of the Indians. New towns have sprun g up on the banks of the southern Mississippi. Every branch of industry is being cultivated with energy. Unparalleled induce ments are held out to emigration. Men are scarce, and human life, long 80 valueless, is now above par. Wages are high, and, as there seems to be no limit to the productiveness of that immense region, we can see no reason for their diminution until a teem ing population shall cover the million of square miles between the Atlantic and the Andes, which the late Sir F. Head recomtnended as a consolation to the despairing discipl es of Malthus. Wh en our squadron was at Rosario this time last year, labourers were in request at 30 silver dollars a month, with board and lodging, and mechanics at proportion ately higher rates." What Urquiza has done for the River Plate, President Lopez has done, and is doing, for Paraguay; and hence the interest felt in the United States in the foreign relations of the sister republic, and the desirability of making the amicable arrangement of the difficulties between them a precedent for the adjustment of the differ ences between this country and Paraguay in like manner.—Liverpool Albion. THE GRAND DUKE CHARLES OF 1?-1.DE In an amusing article, by M. Edouard Simon, published in the Revue ( oxtemporaine, on M. Yarn hagen Von Ense's " Recollections," the following strange but authentic anecdote is related'of the Grand Duke Charles, the husband of the Grand Duchess Stephanie of Baden :—After his death, the settlement of the liabilities of the old civil list brought a strange infirmity of the late Prince to light. " At the palace of Carlsruhe," says the arti cle, " a whole series of apartments was found, which the late Grand Duke had successively locked up, and which nobody had entered since. It had long been an old mania of his to lay by everything he received, no matter what, and no matter from whom. No one was ever allowed to touch these things; the Grand Duke himself abstained from tieing so, with out ever taking the slightest notice of any applica tionlor restitution. As soon as a ro om was sufficiently full - he would lock it up, taking out the key, and be- 1 gin the same ceremony with another. When, after his efilled with an mysterious rooms were opened, they were death, fou d theseto found numerable quan tity of precious things, costumes, all kinds of, t rum - b pery, down to children's playthings, recollections of childhood, and which the Prince had never used. Here a quantity of rouleaux of silver, labelled, Captain's pay for" H.H. 'Prince Charles," and a vast lot of 20 kreutzer pietes (70 cents.), carefully wrapped up; there, drawers filled with rouleaux of gold; then snuff-boxes of the greatest value, rings, and other jewels, to the amount of more than a million in value. These treasures had lain dor mant there for many years, and yet, a short time before his death, the Grand Duke had often been pinched for money, which he could not get at a lower rate than 16 per cent. ! Then there were books, ca rds, petitions, papers of all kinds which were brought to light with the treasures; an im mense quantity of sealed letters, despatches which had been looked for in vain, and then thought to be lost ; precious documents, the want of which had prevented the settlement of important affairs, and serious endangered legitimate interests. Lastly, there were pieces of art, rich arms, offered for sale to the Prince a long time before, and which were found pell-mell with embroidered court dresses, masquerading costumes, and laced hats, In many cases it was impossible to find out the owners of some of these articles; and then, again, things which had been paid for by the civil list, and never had made their appearance, were found here." We regret to state that Chevill, who, it will be remembered received a severe blow on the head from a stone, died from the effects of his injuries about 10 o'clock on Monday night. He was about sixty years of age, and had been twice married. James Rous, another of the men reported as hurt, has, it appears, been more seriously injured than we were at first led to suppose. He has been very severely cut about the face, and had some of his front teeth knocked out and his tongue split, but he is in a fair way of recovery. The engineman Younger was also stated to be doing well, but the woman Tennant was still considered to be in a very precarious con dition. In addition to the persons formerly men tioned as injured, we learn that a hewer, named J. Carr, was struck by a stone while standing on the pit heap, and very severely hurt. When the engines were stopped by the accident, there were about 165 men and boys in the pit, and it was of course a matter of some difficulty to get them out. In the course of an hour, however, an apparatus was improvised at the air shaft, about a mile and a half to the north of the main shaft, and by two in the afternoon the whole were extricated. The efforts of the workmen are now vigorously directed to the replacing of the boilers ; and it is expected the pumping apparatus will be got to work in a day or two, while the general work of the pit will pro bably be resumed in the course of the week. The inquest on the bodies of the deceased was commenced on Tuesday by Mr. Coroner Reed, at the sign of the Board Inn, Seaton Barn. Mr. Crone, the colliery viewer, was present during a portion of the proceedings. Robert Wight said—l live at Seaton Burn Col liery, where I am chief engine-Wright.;l have charge and superintendence of the engines and the boilers. The boiler that exploded was the fourth from the south side. It had two safety valves, be sides one common float and one whistle alarm float. I should say it would have been safe to have worked this boiler at a pressure of 451 b to the square inch. The boiler was fitted with Scheffer's steam gauge. I cannot tell the pressure that burst the boiler. She works at 351 b to the square inch. About eight months ago this boiler underwent some repairs, hen a small plate was put in. The boiler plates are in. thick. The boiler h as b een i n use about 16 years. About nine years ago it was injured by an explosion, and I think about one-third of it was then made new, the whole boiler being cut to pieces and rebuilt. I have examined the plates of the exploded boiler, and in my opinion they have been heated to a blue red. The engineman has charge of the boilers and he and the fireman work for 12 hours. Yester dry morning the engineman, Wilkinson Younger, went to work at 4 o'clock, and the fireman, John Turner, at five. The engine and boilers were under the charge of Younger at the time of the explosion. The alarm will whistle when the water has fallen to two inches above the top of the flue,which would indicate a want of water. It is possible the alarm whistles might get out of order. I have known them partially stopped, but never altogether. It is the engineman's duty to see the whistles and floats are in proper order. The engineman will have had care of that boiler for eight years. The fireman, Turner, has been employed about six months. I wish to ex plain at the time of the explosion the safety valves were loaded at 351 b. I have seen the safety-valve lever, and the weight is attached at 351 b. The in dex explaining the amount of pressure is the same on each boiler, and I find on examining the other boilers that it shows 351 b. The coroner said they must have the engineman examined. He proposed to adjourn the inquest till,Tuesday next, April 10, at one o'clock. CRIME IN FRANCE. The Court of Assizes of the Bas• Rhin three days ago tried a married woman named Liaumesser, of Elseheim, for the murder of her daughter. This woman, who possessed a detestable reputation in the village from the impiety and obscenity of her language, and from the violence of her character, took an intense antipathy to one of her two daugh ters, Jeannette, aged 21 years, and frequently ill treated her in the most shameful way, and often threatened to murder her. On tke 2d December last the poor young female, who was at home with her mother, was heard by the neighbours to cry loudly for help from an up-stairs room, and the neighbours afterwards heard a noise similar to that which would have been occasioned by heating the head of a person against a wall. One of the neigh bours sent her son, a boy of thirteen, to threaten the woman, that if she did not cease ill-treating her daughter, she would send for the police; but the woman in a furious rage turned the boy out of the house, and fastened the door. He, however, looked through the keyhole and saw her take up a large knife and rush on her daughter; at the same mo ment he heard the latter cry " Eioly Virgin ! pro tect me !" and then he heard a strange noise, which he compared to that which would have been caused by a calf having its throat cut. All at once the noise ceased, but the woman was heard for some time after moving to and fro in her house as if ' busily engaged in some unusual operation; and after a while she was seen to go into the yard to wash some articles stained with blood. The neigh bours, after some hesitation, sent for her husband, who was at work in the village ; and the woman, in answer to his inquiries as to where Jeannette was, said that she had had to correct her for some fault, and that she had gone away, but would no doubt soon return. The man was satisfied, and observing nothing unusual in the housereturnedi• work. Two days, however, passed away, and nothing was seen of the girl. The gendarmes were th en i n f orme d by th e neigbours of what had taken place, and they went to the woman's house, to arrest her; but having heard that she had been denounced she took to flight across the fields. She was, however, pursued and taken into custody. About the time of her capture a horrible discovery was made; a dog turned up from a hole near a windmill at some distance from the village some fragments of flesh, and on the hole being examined there were, horrible to relate, found iu it breasts, part of a trunk,' the legs, and the intestines of a young female, also the fragments of a skull—the feet and hands had disappeared, probably from having been devoured by wild ani mals. The woman, hearing of this discovery, related with revolting coolness that the remains in question were those of her daughter, whom she had murdered and dismembered ; and she detailed with great minuteness the horrible operations ! Among other things, she stated that after the murder she had smashed the skull of her daughter to extract the brain, and had burned the brain in the fire ! The jury declared her guilty, and the court con demned her to death. TEE BODYGUARD OF THE EMPEROR OF MOROCCO. These famous black Cavaliers in a charge at first advance slowly in a single line, then canter, and then gallop, spurring on the horse to its last gasp, meantime standing up erect on their shovel-stir rups, and turning from one side to the other. Looking round with an air of defiance, they fire off their matchlocks, and throw themselves into various dexterous attitudes, sometimes letting fall the bridle. The pieces being discharged, the horses instantaneously stop. The most difficult lesson a barb learns is to halt suddenly in mid-career of a full gallop. To discharge his matchlock, standing on the stirrups, while the horse is in full gallop, is the great lesson of perfection of the Maroquine sol diery. These cavaliers are sometime*called Spahis. They are composed of Moors, Arabs, Berbers, and all the native races in Morocco. They are usually plainly dressed ; but, beneath the bournouse, many richlyr; t w l i while caparisoned Moorish others t hi embroidered r uw o p i ee d ar e rb r e harness, au i rt n n the et hsse, so oneme of of the garment and g a nett F t n e e i r skin.harness S o ifiwrli f orcosrh t its. h ke..en e ses m tad nsait l nre N y •edelsilk I' luxuries of North Africa,' and is still much used even in Tunis and Tripoli, where the new system of European military dress and tactics has been in troduced. The defeat of the late Emperor's eldest son, Sidi Mohammed, at the battle of Isly, where he com manded many thousand of these cavaliers, has thrown a shade over the ancient celebrity of Moor ish horsemen. On that fatal day, however, none of the black body guard of the Emperor were brought into action. -•--- In a country like Morocco, of widely distinct races and hostile tribes, all naturally detesting each other, the Emperor finds in them his only safety, and this bodyguard places before us the character of the negro in a very favourable light. He is at o nce brave and faithf u l, the two essential ingredients in the formation and development of heroic natures.— Daily Director and Entr'acte. LARKS FOR EPlculEs,—My wife wonaered how many of our beloved little larks would be devoured in Lon don alone in the course of this month. " Larks ?" Yes ; our poor little musical larks are caught and boned and made into dumplings, or stewed by dozens, by hundreds, and by thousands—not every year, but from time to time, when the fancy comes up again.—Once a Week. The Concordat which it pleased the Grand Ducal Government of Baden to conclude with the Pope, has been rejected by the Representative Chamber of that State. In the present sleepy phase of Ger man politics this is a startling fact. We have been hearing for many months of the great things that Prussia was about to do, and the important resolves that the Frankfort Diet was about to make. But they have all come to nothing. Prussia, for ex ample, was to make use of its influence in the Diet to order the Elector of Hesse Cassel to reinstate his subjects in the benefits of the constitution which he had illegally suppressed. The' Diet would do nothing of the kind ; and Prussia through its Pleni potentiary, M. Usedom, has turned round to tell the Diet that it has no authority at all to meddle with Hesse Cassel or with the internal affair of any State. Prussia has thus tried two directly opposite ways of restoring constitutional government to the Hessians, and it has failed in both. Let us hope that the Prussian Government will deal more successfully with the Baden question, which has now been brought forward. It was while Austria was still in the fulness of its prestige and power, that the minister of Baden thought fit to imitate the Imperial Court of Vienna in handing over not only its Catholic clergy, but its colleges and universities to Rome. Such a Concordat was bad enough in Austria, but in the Duchy of Baden, the population of which is more than half Protes tant, it was monstrous to make over to the Pope,or his vicegerent Archbishop, a control over the entire education and universities of the country. The Concordat ruled that in any establishment where there were Roman Catholic students the Arch bishop might intervene to regulate the course of study. Under such an agreement the Papal pre. late was-not only master of the University of Frei burg ; but by sending a dozen lambs of his flock to Heidelberg, he might interfere to disturb the entire teaching of that great seat of learning in which Paulus and Schleiermacher flourished. The chief motive too with the Baden Govern ment for this wanton reaction against Protestant freedom has vanished. The agreement was con cluded, as a kind of homage to Austria, and a ral. lying to the imperial wisdom of Francis Joseph. Francis Joseph's wisdom, however, is now at as great a discount as Austrian metallics. And the lesser German Princes can expect trifling support from a monarch who ha's proved unable to keep his own relatives upon the ducal thrones of Italy. ca Fr ocit. o di o n an i t,, o a b t nh s t ed i a wa c cd y e , in l k i o i‘n S io v i e wn s i ie nt r gt , ,y a t n hh d ea s t o h cp e l pu i on n sg e i i e ot no l o v i; tt e sN O vc f o uo r nl e d. - meet with in the Chambers, it announced as a con stitutional doctrine that the Sovereign might make whatever treaties he pleased with the Pope, with out need of the sanction or fear of the opposition of either the representative or hereditary Chamber. By the last account from Carlsruhe the Baden House of Commons has declared the Concordat invalid by 45 votes against 15 ; and little doubt is entertained that a similar vote will pass the Upper Chamber. From what is known of the political temper and tendencies of the Grand Duke of Baden it is not thought that he will go the length of supporting unpopular Ministers against the decla ration of tb country, especially for such a broken reed as the Austrian alliance has proved itself to be. In that case he will act like a constitutional Prince, dismiss his present Minister, and call to power those eminent and able men who have led the opposition against the Concordat. The prin cipal of these is the Baron Von Roggenbach, con sidered to be as Prussian in his leanings as those whom he has defeated are Austrian. And it is thought certain that, on obtaining power, he will take very important steps towards awarding Prus sia that lead in the military and diplomatic admi• nistration and affairs of Germany which can alone give weight and unity to the Confederation. It will be at once seen, from the votes of the Frankfort Diet in the matter of Hesse Cassel, that far from lending itself to any such combination, the Diet will, on the contrary, oppose it to the utmost. The attitude assumed by M. Von Usedom at Frankfort on this- very mattcr of Hesse Cassel shows that Prussia, wearied of the inutility of combating Austrian influence within the Diet, has resolved to take its stand without that assembly, independent of it, and even against it. The new question respecting Baden will afford further op portunity for the development of such a policy, while leading directly to a reform, or at least to a disruption of the Diet. The fatuity and perverseness shown by Austria in this question is lamentable, as it is marvellous. One would have thought that the misfortune of that Court would at least have taught it the necessity of seeking friends and aliies at home. But its de feats at Magenta and Solferino, instead of rendering Austria more conciliatory or more amicable to Prussia, have, on the contrary, added acerbity to its hatred and narrowness to its rivalry. It is plain to every observer that since ♦ustria alone has proved unable to cope with the armies of France, the neces sity of union in Germany is greater than ever. Austria, however, will not hear of a united Ger many, unless it is to be permitted to secure for itself the exclusive lead. To this it has less pretence than ever. Without admitting Prussia to a fair share of influence, Austria cannot unite that country in resistance to France. And the result of this jea lousy at Vienna is that too many of the smaller Powers and Princes, despairing of support either at Berlin or Vienna, turn their views to Paris, and listen to projects for the reconstruction of the old Confederation of the Rhine. The present safety and the future peace of Eu rope might be secured if wise counsels could be made to prevail at Vienna. But that appears every day more hopeless. And it is impossible to imagine modes better devised for nullifying Germany, fling ing Austria into rebellion and Europe into anarchy and war, than those pursued by Count Rechberg and his master. The Prince of Prussia and his ministers do not want prudence or wisdom, but they want power. Prussia requires a Frederic 11. to enable it to take a strong initiative. Whereas Austria, with even a moderate degree of wisdom, might do much to consolidate both herself and Europe.—Daily News. DEATH IN THE STREETS. Three deaths in the streets or public places have been recorded this week. Upwards of three hun dred occur annually. There is no lack of hospitals and workhouses in this great city. Beds there are in scores awaiting the limbs of these half-frozen creatures ; empty beds by dozens in hospital wards, and in workhouse wards, with warm fires, fat nurses, funds for food, and clothing too. All this is provided by the benevolent for the miserable vagrants of London. But there is a certain stiff ness about the regulations under which these bounties are dispensed which hinders their adapta tion to the cases of the very m i sera bl e and the very destitute. Hospitals and workhouses need to be touched with a more democratic and catholic toler ance of extreme poverty and misery. Follow an unhappy wanderer in London, stricken with dis ease, without a sou in the world, and it is not diffi cult to see how and why he should die in the streets. It is easy, al so , t o see h ow the rules wh i c h di s miss him to that horrible fate may be amended in the interests of humanity. You may watch such an unhappy sufferer stumble up the hospital steps, and, after some waiting, obtain an audience of the dresser or house surgeon. He has no letter, and cannot be relieved without such an official recom mendation of a governor ; or, by a liberal interpre tation, he is admitted to share as ethhee suffers benefi fr tso o f m th no e charity as " a casualty." sudden accident or acute disease, these benefits ar e confined to a bottle of medi cine. into the this in hi s pocket he wanders forth again the street, and tossed about from relieving officer to workhouse porter, fails even here to fiord a harbour of rest ; for, shame to say, only a few of our workhouses possess casual wards for the poor. U n l ess t h e m i sera b le app li ca nt can establish some legal clai m by res id enc e or birth, he is apt to b e driven aga i n i nto t h e stree t s . And there he may die ; there, now an d aga i n , m any ac tually die. i The stones cry ou t aga i ns t so in human and inelastic a system. Let all the work houses be compelled to provide casual wads; let the governors a d opt, part i ally at l eas t, the free keep alw a y s system, and ys a corner for the sick and houseless. Let us resolve to have no more deaths in the streets.--Lancet. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills and Ointment.— Spring Changes.—ln the spring many persons, otherwise remarkably healthy, often suffer from cracked lips, rough skin, pimples, and blotches. All sufferers from such causes will find their appearance and comfort both restored by the use of Holloway's preparations, which may be used with out fear, as nothing in the ointment could injure the mo s t delicate skin; nothing in the p il l s could disagree with the most feeble constitution.

The object of this bill, which has been introduced by Mr. Crook and Lord Ashley, ko has a sort of hereditary claim to father such a measure, is to place the employment of women, young persons, and children in bleaching and dye ing works under the regulations of the Factory Acts. The necessity for some legislation of this kind was fully made out in the report, with its corroborative evidence, sent in by Mr. H. S. Tremenheere, the commissioner appointed in 1554 to inquire into the subject, as well as in the more recent evidence given before a select committee of the Houseiof Commons. That committee, or rather the majority of its mem bers, strangely enough, reported against any Par liamentary interference, whilst they admitted that the circumstances connected with the employment of women and children in those works were deserv ing of consideration, and that the grievances alleged were in part susceptible of remedy. They confined their recommendations to advising the master bleachers and dyers of the United Kingdom to con sider whether the rAuction in the hours of labour, which had already taken place in the establishments of some, might not be more generally adopted in the varieusprocess es of the business. But the battle of the Factory Acts has not been fought and won in vain by the advocates of the true wealth of the nation ; and the evidence to which we have referred makes out a clear case for a similar interference to protect weak women and young children in their contracts for work and daily bread. One witness, a physician, who, during 15 or 16 years, has been in the habit of giving advice to the families of persons employed in the bleaching works, declares that he has known the young women to have been at work for 17 or 18 hours daily for a week together ; and the three volumes that contain the evidence given before the committee are full of notices of similar cases from medical men and clergymen, as well as from operatives. The most interesting and striking evidence is that given by an old discharged bleacher —discharged on account of his age—to :whom one of his masters, who was also examined by the committee, gives the character of "a remarkably good servant and a very steady man." W e learn from his evidence that the condition of the bleachers in Lancashire has deteriorated greatly during the last forty or fifty years. At the beginning of that period the hours of labour were shorter, being then usually from six in the morning till six at night ; and the work was done in bleach ing-fields, not under cover as now. " I can tell you one thing," he said, " when we bleached goods on the ground, years ago, when young men were springing up about Bolton, I believe I could have picked out 500 men that would have done for the Life Guards ; but if you want to cone down there now, I do not think you could get one of them fit for a marine." So that, although the bleachers have stilt the reputation of being a healthy race of men, their continued strength is in spite, and not in consequence, of their present employment. " I had two boys with me," the same witness said, speaking of what had happened a few years ago, " who commenced about nine years of age, and they grew up, an d w h en t h ey were married neither of t hem could tell a letter. They have become young men ; and some time back, when the people came down there to take an estimate of how many there were of one religion and how manyof another, one of them came to me and asked, What religion am Ito call myself?' I said to him, Call yourself by what you are ;' i,nd he said What am Itodo ?. I said You may call yourself nothing, according to where you go to.' He said' Well, 1 never went to any place of worship since I went there with Kit ?; and another says 1 never went since I went with Nan' " i.e, since they were married. In another part of his evidence he girt s a terrible account of his wife's toil :—" It would sometimes happen on a Monday morning, when a ship ord er came i n , we have commenced at two or three o'clock or some times at twelve o'clock ; and my wife has had her stays laced at twelve o'clock on Sunday night, and she has never had them unlaced again, and never been in her bed all the week ; she has been lying on a table, or a n y pl ace w h erever she could get to for half an hour." Some points ii this witness's evidence were found fault with by his employers at a subsequent meeting of the committee ; but, on comparing the evidence of the two parties together, we fear we must acknowledge that there is every probability, in spite of the corrections sug gested by the employers, that such enormities have been far from uncommon. The rest of the evidence shows that these cases are not to be looked on as isolated instances; these are examples—though perhaps salient examples—of a large class of in. dustrial evils to which the nation is determined to put an end. IVomen and children cannot continue to be em ployed as they are in bleaching works with im punity. There is an imperious demand for some improvement on the ground of health, or morality, and of education. We have here a special evil call ing for a special remedy. The benevolent efforts of individual masters are unavailing; they are de feated by the competition of less scrupulous em ployers. The experience of the factories illustrates the case of the bleaching works. Previously to the passing of the Factory Acts—with which all, mas ters and " hands" alike, are now satisfied—numer ous attempts were made on the part of individual masters to diminish the excessive hours of women's and children's labour. But those who made the attempt only victimised themselves and tkeir work people, for ruin stared them in the face from the competition of less benevolent employers. No cer tain success can be gained in these matters without the strong hand of the law enforcing the universal observance of the dictates of reason and humanity. In the case before us, the experience of the Factory Acts is useful also another way. Everyone remri bers how it was proved irrefragably by statistical arithmetic that the passing of these acts would be speedily followed by the destruction of the manu facturing prosperity of England. But experience has scattered those false prophecies to the winds, and has shown that manufacturing prosperity is actually compatible with humanity. So in the bleaching works—the long continued labour—the "pushes," as they are called—which, it is argued, are absolutely necessary to the existence of the business—without which, it is said, the trade can not be carried on—will be fount to be altogether unnecessary as soon as the law of the land has de clared that they shall no longer take place, under mining as they do the physical and moral well being of each successive generation.—Morning Post, STATISTICS OF SAVOY. The following arc some additional details respect ing Savoy : " The total population of Savoy is 583,800 souls, (viz., the province of Annecy, 270,510 • that of Chambers, 313,302), on a t erritory o f 11454 square kilometers (each 5-Bths of a mile), nearly equal to the 1-50th of France. Notwithstanding the rugged nature of the soil, in a country covered by the highest mountains in Europe, Savoy is almost ex clusively agricultural. There are, however, some few manufactories. Watchmaking, for instance, which was introduced at Cluses about two centuries ago, at present occupies about 2,000 work-people in that town and neighbourhood, who yearly produce watches to the value of 1,800,000 f; most of which are sent to Geneva and Besan9on. Annecy has a cotton manufactory, containing about 33,600 spindles, nearly 1,400 looms, 1,000 of which are power-looms, 4 steam engines, 4 cylinder printing machines, and 104 presses for printing by hand. The number of persons employed is about 3,000, and the raw cotton used about 720 tons, which is con verted into 7,000,000 metres of white and printed calico, &c. The slate quarries also occupy 200 hands, who produce about 2,000,000 slates, at prices varying from 18fr to 140 fr per 1,000, according to size. The slates of Tarentaise, Maurionne, and Faucigny can be supplied at a much lower price than those of Cevins, to which they are inferior in d durable. The new railway opens a hariness and colour, but arc equally lig cxe h ee t ll a eß n nt market for the slates of Savoy ll in France.

When the frontiers shall have to be fixed, it is highly probable, says the Unione Liberate of Turin, that Oneglia and San Remo will be left to Pied mont. The following relates to the neutralised ground : Chablais is bounded on one side by the Lake of Geneva •, its population is 52,000, and its chief town Thorson, which w ill b e ma d e a su b-prefecture. This district derives its name from the Latin cabalicus aver, which name was given to it by the Romans on account of the number of horses bred there. The Emperor Conrad gave Chablais to Humbert, head of the house of Savoy, whose descendants were called Counts of Savoy in the 14th century. Fau cigny borders on Chablais and Valais ; it is a moun tainous country, containing. a population of about 100,000, and its chief town is Bonneville. This was formerly an independent barony, and was afterwai di united to Savoy by the marriage of its inheritor." I METROPOLITAN, COUNTIES.
