BAROMETER, 30.09. ), 1 N ! ~~ ~h ~~:~a~.~~~~ ►! ~~ V l~ LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 16, 1858. The first onslaught has been made on the new Administration. Mr. OSBORNE has shaken off the taciturnity of more than five years, and happily avoided the operation of any Parliamentary Statute of Limitations. We rejoiced to hear the "once familiar voice" once more—to witness the "light and tight young Barnacle" perform his hornpipe without the restraining fetters. He made much of his recovered freedom, and pranced and curvetted in goodly style. He wanted vio lently and immediately a declaration of the Ministerial policy. In his newly-assumed prudery, no reticence is to be tolerated. The Imperial Palace at Westminster is become a Palac© of Truth, in which every thought must be clearly reflected. The old Administration might properly refrain from giving the slightest hint as to their long promised and anxiously looked for Reform Bill ; but their successors must be prepared to enter into the most minutedetails, and that, without a moment's delay, on every question that may be suggested. It was not merely Parliamentary Reform that troubled his mind—there were also Church-rates, the Oaths Bill, or Jew Bill, as it is more gener ally designated, the Bank Charter, Education, and, though last not least, the Maynooth Grant. Truly the Leader of the House of Commons had to tread through " rough and dangerous ways" in following his active assailant. But the ex-Secretary of the Admiralty found to his cost that the Ministers could produce " ROLAND for his OLIVER." It was something to bring forth the champion of the Derbyites, armed cap-d-pie, to resist the "guerilla" attack, to prc duce a movement of the main body, when there was merely an affair of outposts. The onslaught was merely that of a single member. Neither of the aspirants for office supported it, but they looked on with interest, and regarded with grim approval the passage at arms between their late henchman and the intruders on the sacred threshold. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, as might be easily anticipated, well maintained his ground. The honour of the Government lost nothing in his hands. He revealed just what he wished to reveal, but nothing more. His armour of proof defended him against the light attacks of his opponent, which, although annoying, were by no means formidable. Everything will be told in due time. There will be no improper procrastination ! There may be differences of opinion in the Cabinet, but there were the same in that of Lord PALMERSTON. Mr. OSBORNE Cha u many points from his official superiors, and u very properl y perm i tte d to take his own ` l iuber;* o,7t,l7:ptteno,ithe should th ere not b e equal present Government ? The Conspiracyhll has t con , ; h igned to th e " tomb of all the has been strenuously supported 1 )i th e e eji:w BLII or of the Exchequer and the First Lord of th e eel A. l 7 ra i ra itp The best prospect of a satisfactory settlemen t may be hoped for from their efforts. Church-rate must be abolished ; and, pre. vided the obnoxious impost be annihilated, i t s i gn ifi es lit t le by whom it may be accomplished, or where the St. GEORGE may be found to destroy the ecclesiastical Dragon. As to the Bank Charter Act, we know that Sir G. O. LEWIS would do nothing, but we may place some degree of confidence in Mr. DISRAELI ; and the same may be said respecting a the income tax. He was the only financial Minister that recognised the slightest distinction between the hard earnings of industry and the dividend, interest or annual produce of accumulated and realised property. As to the Reform Bill, we have already yielded breathing time, and we believe the chances are far better than they would have been had Lord PAL)IERSTON remained in office. Mr. OSBOB.NE did what he had to do well ; but it w•ould have been far better for his party had the episode been omitted. Mr. HORSMAN, in his speech, clearly and dis tinctly expressed the feelings of every true hearted, sincere, and disinterested Liberal. He acquitted the Government of anything that could by any possibility be tortured into a charge of unfairness or intrigue. In opposition they had displayed great moderation and forbearance, and had therefore a just claim to courtesy on the op posite side. Great measures will unquestionably be introduced, and that will be the time for those who have only the welfare, happiness, and prosperity of the nation at heart. Mr. OSBORNE may cause annoyance, although inflicting no real injury. Mr. HORSILAN'S is unquestionably the more judicious, as well as the more straightfor ward and manly, course. The despatches which were laid before Parlia ment last night, and which appeared in our third edition of yesterday, prove that the " painful misconceptiona" between the Governments of England and France, have really terminated. So far the nation has every cause to approve of the conduct of the new Administration. The alliance, so important to the interests of both countries, and, we may add, of the civilised world, still sub sists, without the slightest sacrifice of honour on either side. This is the more valuable inasmuch as no great reliance can be placed on the perma nency of a reconciliation when a sting remains rankling in one of the combatants. M. WiLnwsicr was perfectly justified in declaring that such a reconciliation could be " sincere and last ing only on one condition, namely, that the honour of the one should never be sacri ficed to the honour of the other." This is the true principle, and so long as it is maintained in its integrity, there can be no serious danger— nothing which a judicious and reasonable line of policy cannot get rid of. It is said that an affront properly arranged becomes au obligation. Private individuals pe culiarly feel this, but the same rule is applicable to nations and to Governments. There may be faults on both sides—errors of judgment which may be regretted, but which cannot be amended, if too prominently seized on. Lord DERBY had unquestionably, a great opportunity. He thoroughly understood the -tats - of the national mind. He listened to the voice of public opinion, and acted thereon, and he did it well. The despatch of the Foreign Secretary in answer to that of the 20th January was all that could be desired. There was no bluster or bullying—nothing that could give offence to a rational mind ; but there was a tem perate exposure of a great, and probably uninten tional insult, and a moderate invitation for explanation. This was fairly responded to. It is the act of a gentleman to apologise for any mis take, or for anything that could occasion a mistake. Count WALEWSKI has pointed out what he calls the " misconstruction," and we are bound to believe him, and the international relations are again placed on a satisfactory foundation, so far at least as what may be termed the " refugee controversy" is concerned. Its policy will receive the approval of every disinterested and unprejudiced person. It has other difficulties to contend with, and not the least onerous is the affair of the Cagliari, and the protection of our two fellow-subjects who are now incarcerated in a Neapolitan prison. When men have judiciously surmounted one obstacle, we are disposed to place greater confidence in them with respect to another. The felicitous ter mination of the French discussion induces a hope that the affair of the English Engineers may be brought to an equally satisfactory conclusion. It is now admitted that the late Government were acting on inadequate premises. The actual facts were unknown. It was supposed that the vessel had been captured in the Neapolitan waters, and therefore that the parties were amenable to the Neapolitan law. This point has been questioned, but not decided. The state of facts must first be settled, and then it will be for the Government to determine on the oourse which the honour and dignity and iuteres:s of Great Britain demand. On that point at least we may confide in any occupant of office. Neither Whig nor Tory, Conservative, or Radical, would willingly sacrifice the national prestige. All we desire to say is, that hitherto matters have been as well managed as could be desired, and far better than they could have been under the PAL MERSTON administration, owing to the grave mistake that was committed in the first instanc, and from which they could not, by any possibility, have extricated themselves. MINISTERIAL MEETING—(This Day . The Earl of Derby h ►wing summoned a meeting of his supporters in the House of Commons, up wards of 220 members responded to the invitation of the noble lord. The meeting was held at the official residence of ;hd First Lord of the Treasury, at 12 o'clock ;his day. The greatest unanimity prevailed, The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough have returned to Blenheim, near Woodstock. Their graces have been plunged into deep affliction by the premature demise, after a very short illness, of their youngest son, Lord Charles Spencer Churchill. The Duke of Beaufort has taken the Earl of Eglinton's mansion for a term. His grace arrived in town yester day, from Badminton. The Earl and Countess Vane and their yoathful family, on leaving Wynnstay after the disastrous fire at that place, returned to the Cloughs, Newcastle-under- Lyne the residence of Mr. Edwards, and from thence came to Holderness House, Park-lane, where they are at present staying. The loss of the Countess Vane's jewels is estimated at 7,0001. The Countess of Derby has issued cards for an as sembly on Saturday next, at the family mansion in St. James's -sq uare.

Firmin Rogier, the Belgian minister, who delivered a letter from his sovereign, announcing the birth of the Princess Louise-Marie Amelie, daughter of the Duke de Brabant. Some foreign journals publish the memorandum of the Prussian government on the act of naviga tion of the Danube. This document declares in principle that neither the signature of that act nor the exchange of ratifications changes in any respect the necessity of submitting the result of the de'i berations to the examination and approbation of all the powers who signed the treaty of Paris. Tile Gazette de :Lyons says,— " The sentence of the Military Tribunal on Lieut. de Mercy wm, as is usual in France, delivered in the ab sence of the prisoner, and a friend went in a state of great agitation to the cell in which he was confined to communicate it to him. ' Well l' asked de Mercy anxi ously, on the door of the cell being opened. ' All is lost!' answered the friend, `you are condemned !' To what I' 'Death !'

She died in 1856. They entertained a sincere affection for each other, and a number of her letters to him, written in touching terms, c o uld have been produced on the trial if necessary.

Advices from Vienna state that information had reached that city by telegraph, to the effect that a proclamation of the Ottoman Government had been distributed throughout the whole of the Herzego vina. This document announces that the Sultan of his free will has just granted such reforms as he considers useful, but that at the same time every measure had been taken to make the authority of the Government respected. This last phrase ap pears to allude to the reinforcements which, accord ing to the last accounts from Constantinople, had been sent off to the Herzegovina.

TUESDA► Y E VEN I NG, MARCH IG, 1858! PRUSSIA. BERLIN, March 15.—The Committee of the Chamber of Representatives charged with the ex amination of the Convention concluded with the Z )11verein for the increase of the tax on beet-root sugar, has proposed to reject that Convention. A firm resistance to the measure in the - Upper Chamber is anticipated. The Berlin Review, the organ of a fraction of the Extreme Right, confirms the fact of the observa tions made in a Committee of the Chamber of Re presentatives on the subject of the powers tempo rarily delegated to the Prince of Prussia. The Review adds that it i s th e duty of the Chambers to examine into the real state of the existing provi sional arrangement. CIRCASSIA. The Invalide Russe records new victories of the army of the Caucasus. A letter to that journal announces that the im portant defile of Argonne, which has often been attacked unsuccessfully, is at length in possession of the Russian troops. The Ost Deutsche Post of "Vienna announces that a general reform in the system of levying the direct taxes has been resolved on by the Go vernment, and that the department of finance has already commenced preparations for carrying the improvement into effect. The Turin journals contradict an assertion made by the Armortia,!that the "French Government had applied for the suspension of the Italia del Popolo, and the expulsion of a person named Bianchi Giorni." Nothing of the kind, they declare, had taken place. The Vienna correspondent of the Gazette de Cologne writes that Count Buol and Baron de Bourqueney had such a violent dispute on the 31 instant, that their remarks were overheard by some other diplomatists who were wait ing in the adjoining room. According to the Austrian writer--who, by the by, states that M. de Bourqueney's face was extremely flushed when he quitted the Austrian Minis ter—the subject of their conversation was " the publication of Orsini's letter to the Emperor Na poleon." This cannot possibly be correct, for Count Buol is not of opinion that Austria ban cause to s] the i nser tion of the document in iiiontreurco tocau ,Litring the interview in question, the Austrian Minister roundly declared that no alteration either would or could be made in the passport system. TIIE AFFRAY WITH THE POLICE IN DUBLIN. The scene of the conflict between the police and the students of Trinity College, on the occasion of the Lord Lieutenant's arrival, was visited by great numbers of persons on Saturday and Sunday. A petition on the subject to the Lord Lieutenant has received more than 3,000 signatures. The law agent of the university is engaged in completing the evidence against the police. A parade of the mem bers of the mounted police took place in the Lower Castle-yard. Seven men were identified as having been the most violent, and of these two had most numerous charges against them. The former had an apparently severe wound upon the right side of the face, close to the temple, and the front of his coat and gloves were profusely stained with blood. The latter was comparatively a young man, and was rendered conspicuous from being the only one of the party bearing a Crimean decoration. Application was made on behalf of the police for a similar opportunity of identifying their oppo nents. Lord Naas said that the men should get every facility in this respect, and the parties being stooped from quitting the yard, the first, Manly, 55.1, stated that a Mr. 'Wm. Thomas Pickering, add that he had also use an of liclywood, Belfast, had struck him and his g,-stick, and thrown a handful of mare with stones, cutting the head of the latter He also pointed out a Mr. James B. u n ndt himself Prospect, Smith, of Oaklands, Dungannon, as having attempt ed to cut the reins of his horse with a clasp-knife um brellain gravel threeoa at him. a n c l . k e at the corner of Grafton street. The other con stable, 139 A, W. J. M‘Matius, identified a Mr. T. Miltown, as having struck E. upon the mouth with something, and dared him to come forward as a Crimean hero. On Saturday night a crowd of several hundred persons paraded the town. They marched to the Gurg his s' h o o f rs i e lo a station-house in College-street-lane, in which were more than 100 policemen, who, to avoid a collision were kept within the building. After breaking a few windows, they were proceeding to the Sackville street station, but, being stopped by a large body of police, they dispersed after a little stone throw maunders,_ of yesterday, gives th e f o ll ow i ng ac count of the wounded :—" Mr. Leeson, who is suffering from cancusiion, is still, of course, in a very precarious condition ; but any change that h a s taken place since he sustained the injuries is rather favourable than otherwise. Mr. Pollock's symptoms were very unfavourable on Saturda) n ight, but he was not so ill yesterday. The other g entlemen are going on in as satisfactory a manner as can be expected from the nature of their wounds. Mr. John B. Hamilton, though unarmed, was struck down in the midst of 7 or 8 police constables, and received a scalp wound penetrating to the bone, in addition to severe contusions on his left arm. Sixteen constables were reported to Drs. Ireland and Long as having received injuries on Friday-7 of whom are said to be seriously hurt. There are five head wounds, but no concussion or fracture."

Their Royal Highnesses were attended by Lord Colville. After going over the Castle, they walked through the High street, and returned to Osborne by the Ferry. TRH ECLIPSE.—As the morning was very fine many had anticipated a good view of the eclipse, but before eleven o'cl )ck the sky was so covered with clouds that even the position of the sun could not be distinguished, much more the passage of the moon over it. The sun was seen for a minute through an opening in the clouds about half-past twelve, and again at a quarter before one, and for a few seconds at one o'clock, but not after wards. All were doomed to disappointment here. A BROAD HINT.—Some of our English journalists are following the example of their American brethren, and are notifying to their readers who have omitted to pay for their papers that they, on an after the present quar ter, intend sending those friends their papers in pink covers. We also hear that some tradesmen in other branches of business intend trying the effect of this ex ample, and purpose sending out their tea, sugar, &c., in pink paper to such of their customers as indulge in the long-credit principle, and that if this should not have the desired effect, and the account should run over one year, they intend adding a narrow blue band, hoping that it may be taken as a broad hint. Only think of quarter of lamb being sent home in a pink tray, or fancy the effect of a new coat or a lady's dress being sent home in pink paper, with two blue stripes on it ! But we very much fear that if a stripe wag given for every year that the debt had been running, that paper with seven blue bands would be not at all an uncommon article, and in many cases the stripes would be so numerous that the tradesmen and their papers would look all blue together. PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY EVENING. This extraordinary case, the particulars of which were briefly recorded in The Suit of to-day, has caused the greatest excitement in this town and neighbourhood, more particularly because of the deep mystery in which, up to the present time, it is involved. As yet, no arrest has been made. It appears that a man dressed iu the costume of the murderer (a mackintosh and slouched hat or cap) was observed to parade the street in the locality of the deceased's lodgings, and even went and stood upon the step of the door some considerable time before he executed his design. On presenting him self at the door for the second time, shortly after 12 o'clock, it was opened by the landlady, Mis. Vick, and he asked in a peremptory tone of voice whether Mr. Howard (otherwise Hart) was within. The woman replied that he was, but had retired to rest. She then asked him if he was the man who was upon the door-step a short time before. He said, in a firm voice, "I am." Mrs. Vick inquired what was his name, and he answered sternly, " Never mind what my name is ; tell Mr. Howard that a gentleman from Fareham wants to see him upon urgent business." The landlady then pro ceeded upstairs to call Mr. Howard, who intimated that he knew of no one at Fareham who would be likely to call upon him at that time of night, but he put on his trousers and slippers, and walked down stairs into the entrance hall. The a ssassin immediately said, "Mr. Howard -," and elevated what appeared to be a walking stick to the deceased's breast. A short hissing noise was heard, the unfortunate man suddenly fell back wards, gasped out the words, "Send for a doctor," and expired. No alarm was raised at the moment, and the assassin had ample time to walk quietly away, without any person in the street suspecting what had occurred. The borough coroner will open an investigation of the case this evening. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. THE THEATRES. HAYMARKET. A new ballet entitled, " Jack's Return from Canton," was produced last night, and afforded cordial enjoyment to a crowded audience. It sparkles with humour and drollery. Jack, who has seldom found a more genial representative than in the person of Mr. Charles Leclercq, has been settling accounts with Mr. Commissioner Yeh, in China, and on his return to his native village, he tells, in pantomimic language, the tin filing story of his gallant aohievements, and dances no end of hornpipes with his sweetheart, Miss Louise Le clercq, a very pretty and graceful girl. The fun of the piece is chiefly in the hands, or rather in the feet, of Mr. Arthur Leclercq, who not only dances but acts the part of a drunken fiddler with a drol lery of gesture and an expressiveness and variety of grimace which has never been surpassed. The ballet was received with great applause and loud shouts of laughter. LYCEUM. Last evening Miss Helen Faucit delighted the lovers of the legitimate acting with a performance of the part of Beatrice in Shakespeare's comedy of " Much Ado About Nothing." No performance could be more instinct with grace, ease, and refine ment. Miss Faucit's Beatrice was a perfect study from beginning to end. In regard to power and energy she far surpasses all who have attempted the character. The famous scene—in fact, the scene of the play—in which Beatrice endeavours to in cite Benedick to a duel with Claudio for wronging Hero, her acting was transcendant, and again the exquisite tenderness she exhibited towards her cousin, after she has been so cruelly treated by her lover, was wonderfully true to na ture. Mr. Dillon, who, we believe, appeared for the first time in London as Benedick, gave a truly Shakespeare performance. His reading through out the part was faultless. Toole's Verges was the only other artistic performance worthy of notice. At the fall of the curtain, in answer to most vehement calls, Mr. Dillon led Miss Faucit across the stage amidst a hurricane of applause. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE, Yesterday his Royal Highness the Commander. in-Chief paid a visit to Chatham for the purpose o: inspecting the battalions of infantry at that garri son, and also to make an examination of the build. ings at Brompton Barracks. The Duke, accom pallied by his staff, proceeded direct to Chatham Barracks, and on arriving within the garrison a royal salute of 21 guns was fired from the saluting battery. The whole of the troops composing the three battalions of infantry were drawn up on the parade-ground of Chatham Barracks in heavy marching order, and presented a very imposing ap pearance their being upwards of 5,000 men of the various Indian depots under arms. The battalions were composed of the officers and men of the fol low;e0. denote :-Ist Battalion-7th Royal Fusi liers, 24th, ODJ, and 53d , Regiments ; 2d battalion-10th Regiment, Regiment, 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers, 29th, 52d Light Infantry, and 61st Regiment ; 3d battalion —Bth Regiment, 18th Royal Irish, 19th Regiment, 70th Regiment, 75th Regiment, 81st Regiment, 84th Regiment, and 94tta Regiment. The Duke first inspected the depots of the Ist battalion, under the command of Colonel H. Jervis, and made a minute examination of the accoutrements of the men, frequently addressing questions to them as he walked up and down the lines. Having con cluded the inspection of the whole of the depots of the let battalion, his Royal Highness next inspected the 2d battalion, under the command of Col. R. N. Phillips, and also the 3d battalion, commanded by Colonel C. E. Fairtlough. The detachments of re inforcements - under orders to embark for India were also inspected with much attention by his Royal Highness, who addressed frequent remarks to the men, and appeared to be highly satisfied with their appearance. The inspection of the East Indian depots occupied the Duke of Cambridge two hours, • after which his Royal Highness and staff pro ceeded to the garrison hospital, for the purpose of making an examination of that establishment. His Royal Highness remained about half an hour at the garrison hospital, after which he proceeded to Brompton Barracks, where the corps of Royal En gineers, under the command of Col. H. Sand.ham, and the East India Company's Engineers were drawn up in review order. After making a brief inspection of the men, the Duke examined the buildings at Brompton Barracks, which have been converted into a hospital for the reception of the sick and wounded troops who aro now on their passage home from India. After spending upwards of four hours in the inspection of the troops and barracks, his Royal Highness quitted the garrison and returned to town. Before leaving his Royal Highness expressed himself generally satisfied at the result of his inspection and the appearance of the troops. Col. Bloomfield, aide.de-camp to the Queen and seem - id in command at Woolwich, returned from leave of absence on Saturday and resumed the tem porary command of the garrison from Colonel Tees dale comman ding the field batteries. General Williams, the Commandant, remains in attendance on his Parliamentary duties in London. Colonel Bloomfield, attended by the garrison staff, paraded the troops yesterday morning at " guatd-mount ing," and afterwards inspected detachments for foreign and home service. Yesterday the reinforcements for the 43d Light Infantry, under orders to proceed to India, left Chatham Garrison and embarked at Gravesend on board the Tweedside for Madras. Thirty non-commissioned officers and men be longing to the depot companies of the 24th Regi ment, at Chatham, have received orders to be transferred to the 2d battalion of that corps, which is now being raised. Her Majesty's Coastguard cruiser Argus, Com modore Charles Eden, Controller-General of the Service, returned to Woolwich on Saturday, a n d moored in ordinary off the dockyard. Her Majesty , ship Renown, 91, Capt. Forbes, was tried yesterday in her sea-going trim, for the first time, at the measured mile in Stoke's Bav, by order of the Admiralty, who were particularly , desirous of ascertaining her capabilities b.-fore order ing her to sea. Her engines are of 800-horse power, by Penn and Son, whose superintending manager, Mr. Wigzell, was at Portsmouth to watch the trial. Mr. Dinnen, Inspector of Machinery, of Somerset-house, attended to report for the Admi ralty. The ship ran the course six times, which realised a mean speed of 11.5 knots ; the mean of the two best runs gave a return of 11.7 ; pressure of steam 201 b. steady ; revolutions (mean), 54i ; mean draught of water, 23 feet 8 ; pitch of screw, 28 feet ; diameter of screw, 19 feet. The engines worked satisfactorily, and the ship steered and moved very easily. The Melpomene, 51, screw frigate, will be ready for trial at Stoke's Bay in about a fortnight, if out of the hands of the shipwright department. - Her engines (600 horse-power) have been completed some time by Penn and Son, and tried at moorings. The Aboukir, built as a sailing 84, but converted into a screw after the manner of the Goliath, by the addition of engaes of 400 horse-powc r by Penn and Son, was tried at moorings at Devonport as Saturday, and is reported to be ready for a trial at sea in ton days' time. The Hero, 91, screw steamer, having been com pleted at Chatham Dockyard, will be launched next month. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty : Lieutenant W. K. Bush to the Eagle, from the Violet ; T. W. Haucorn, second master, to the Renown ; and E. Colburne, second master, to the Cornwallis. THE ASSASSINATION OF A TRADESMAN LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) AT PORTSIIOUTII. I HOUSE OF LORDS. The Lord Certue,;.lor (B4run Chelintford), Lord Brough, Lord Gran worth, Lord Wensleydale, and other peers were present. APPEAL-SHAW V. NEALE EX PARTE AS TO JAMES NEALE. The arguments in this important appeal case having been considered yesterday, the cause was appointed to be considered this day at half-past ten o'clock. Their lordships now delivered judgment in the cause. Their lordships, and especially the Lord Chancellor, delivered his judgment at very great length. The result of their lordships' judgment, founded on the decision of Bevan and Lord Oxford (Chancery cases), was to reverse or alter so much of the decree of the Master of the Rolls as to find, that the security of Mr. Shaw must have priority from the date of the first Regis tration, from the 30th of January, 1841, the date of the first registration of that security. Their lordships expressed their highest disapprobation of the enormous bills of costs, amounting to between sixteen and seventeen hundred pounds, incurred in recovering an estate, which at the utmost value did not exceed four thousand pounds. After their lordships had arranged the power of redemption and re-redemption between the appellant and respondent, their lordships with this allocator of ohange upon:the lands in question, made the usual decree of redemption, and with this alteration re. mitted the decree back to the court below. GEELONG AND MELBOURNE. The ninth half-yearly meeting of this company was held on the sth of January last at Geelong ; Mr. C. N. Thorne presided. The report stated that the trains were running in connection with those of the Hobson's Bay Railway Company. This arrangement effects an economy in time, reducing the average run of the ordinary trains to three hours, and that of the express trains to two hours and a half between Melbourne and Geelong. The receipts in October amounted to 2,5631., in November to 3,5221., and in De cember to 4,7911. The want of terminal ac commodation at Williamstown has debarred the company from traffic in goods, and nearly all the revenue has been derived from passengers. The unusual severity of the winter rains caused a temporary suspension of the traffic. An additional outlay of 50,0001. will be required to complete the line for winter traffic. The capital account to the 30th of November showed that 537,8001. had been received, and 571,8801. expended, leaving a balance against the company of 34,0801. The revenue ac count showed that the receipts from the 25th of June to the 30th of November, 1857, amounted to 19,2501., and the expenses to 19,2171., leaving a profit of 331. The interest on loans amounted to 6,9131., while, after deducting the profit, there re mained 6,8801. against revenue. Notwithstanding the terms of the agreement with the Melbourne and Mount Alexander Company, no provision what ever has been afforded at the Government railway pier for the goods traffic, and that, in answer to the repeated requests that fitting accommodation should be provided, the directors have been in formed that no goods, horses, or cattie can be received or forwarded from the railway-pier or on tbe Governineet line, on the ground that the works of the line to Melbourne now in progress would be impeded thereby. The company has therefore been, and still is, wholly precluded from this important branch of traffic, thereby entailing a clear loss, which, with the consequently undeveloped passen ger traffic, is moderately coinputed at the rate of 1,000/. per week. A long discussion ensued in respect to various local matters in dispute, after which the report was adopted, and the directors were authorised to raise 50,0001. on additional shares. Mr. KNIGHT submitted a motion to the effect that trains be run on Sunday with a view to in crease the traffic and accommodate the public. Mr. MICELLAB, proposed an amendment to the effect that the line be not open for traffic on Sunday. The amendment was put and carried by 122 against 113. The meeting then separated. "Y4e new Royal Italian Opera House, we are informed, on undoubted authority, will be opened by Mr. Gye on the 15th or 22d of May next. The second battalions of the 6th and 7th Regiments are reported as in a most efficient state, and fully prepared to embark for foreign service. The Imperial Court of Nancy has condemned a tra velling conjurer, named Philippe, to 15 days' imprison ment for speaking insultingly of the Emperor. A hair dresser, named Isnard, was condemned by the Correc tional Police of Orange to six months' imprisonment and 500 f. fine for a similar offence. THE MURDER OF MR. ELLIS.—The trial of William Corcuaek, for the murder, near Teinplemore, of Mr. Ellis, of Kilrush, took place on Saturday at Nenagh, before Mr. Justice Keogh. The jury were locked up at nine o'clock on Saturday evening, and discharged at half-past five on Sunday afternoon, without having agreed upon a verdict. The prisoner was to be tried again" yesterday morning. THE WATERLOO-BRIDGE AFFAIR.—The remains fsund at Waterloo-bridge about six months ago, under circum stances that must be in the recollection of every one, after remaining so long in charge of the police at the Bow-street station, were on Sunday conveyed to the Woking cemetery and there buried, the police having by this time given up almot all hope of finding a clue to their identification, Toe bag and clothes are still at the station for production, if necessary. We are sorry to have to record the death of Francis B. Tussau•J, grandson to Madame Tussaud, of Baker street, which sad event took place the early part of the present month, at Rome, where he had gone for the benefit of his health at the early age of twenty-nine. This gifted young man not only displayed great talent as an artist, but also promised much ability as a com poser ; numerous songs and other pieces of music, test his taste aid capacity for this charming science. He was a member of several societies, among them he was Student of the Royal Academy, and bad been elected a member of the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Commerce, and Manufactures, and also a member of the Aram illogical Society. This talented young man was the ooly son of Mr. Tussaud, of Baker-street, who, with numerous friends, have to lament his premature demise. DEATH OF THE HON. MRS. HOOD. —We regret to announce the death of the Hon. Mrs. Hood, which hap. pened at Whitley Abbey, near Coventry, on Thursday last, the 11th inst., at an advanced age. Mrs. Hood was Caroline, the only daughter of the late gallant Admiral Sir Andrew Snape Hamond, Bart., and i❑ 1806 rzarried the Hon. Francis Wheeler Hood, lieu tenant-colonel in the army, who was killed in action on the heights of Aire, in the south of France, March 2, 1814, and by whom she was the mother of Samuel, third Viscount Hood, and of the Hon. Francis Grosvenor Hood, lieutenant-colonel Grenadier Guards, who was killed in the ,trenches before Sebastopol in October, 1854. THE TEA TRADE, March 15.—The deliveries in Lon don estimated for the week were 680,517 lb., which is a decrease of 33,386 lb., compared with the previous state ment. THE INDIAN MUTlNY.—Further papers (No. 6, in continuation of No. 4) relative to the mutinies in India have appeared in the form of a blue-book of 230 pages. The principal paper of interest is a long narrative of the operations before Delhi from the pen of Captain H. W. detail Norman, o the w whole hich was considered as sdetro be submitted edsoleida t and truthful the G ruthfuloa. vernor General of India for publication. It covers a space of nearly 30 pagers, and occurs at pape 198 of t h e blue-book before us. It is needless to say that its con tents have long since been anticipated. THE FEvEu IN 132113sluDA.—The House of C ommons has ordered the publication of the copy of a despatch from the Governor of Bermuda, enclosing a report from the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the first appearance and the spread of the yellow fever at Bermuda in the year 1856. The Com missioners conclude that the said epidemic was not introduced ab extra, but that it originated in the colony itself ; that it appeared, not at one, but at several points, distinct and wi lely eepalated (at two such points simultaneously) ; that it did not spread through contagion or infection, but tbrcugb the same causes that had given rise to it —an inferred epidemic constitution of the atmosphere, exploding in attacks of the disease where it encountered the other required elements, prediiposi tio in individuals, bad sanitary condition in loci 'titles, or both combined ; that at present nothing is known which is calculated to prevent absolutely a recurrence of epidemic yellow fever in the colony ; that some new organisation is required to carry out sanitary measures effectively, and that quarantine should be applied only to ships with yellow fever, and not, to the crews of such i ships. "Saow, Mardh 13.—Cotton.--Our cotton-market during the week just closed has, influenced by the free receipts at Liverpool and the American advices, had a downward tendency, and we must quote prices to Id. lower than thi , r day week. Goods and Yarns.— rhe market closes very dull, and prices show some weakness. Iron.—Our pig iron -market has been ra tier dqressed during the week, owing to the anxiety a a few holders to real.ze the:r profits on recent purchases. Sales have been effected as low ald 56s 9J. cash, aild 575. 9J. two months open ; but to-day there seemed las desire to press sales, and war melts were held at 584., with buyers at 578. 6d. cash, to 58e. one month open. APPEAL-CLARK V. HART. Sir R. Bethell was opening the case of the appellant. The cause will probably occupy the whole of this day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE BRITTEN. This bankrupt was described as of Noble-street, fringe manufacturer, and to-day came up for his certi• ficate. Mr. Lucas appeared for the assignees, and said that although they at first believed that the bankrupt had not accounted for the whole of hie property, especially with respect to an alleged transaction with a person named Francis, yet they had made inquiries, and nothing had been elicited which justified the suspicion, and they therefore left the case in the hands of the Court, only mentioning that the debts amounted to 2,2501., and they were very small, and the losses and expenses amounted to 2,0001. Mr. Pook, for the bankrupt, submitted that the case was one of unavoidable loss and misfortune through the heavy amount of the bad debts, in consequence of the failure of many of the debtors. His Honour granted a certificate of the second class, after being suspended three months. IN RE WHITNALL. This bankrupt was a tailor at Canterbury, and caul , up to pass his last examination. . . Mr. Huron opposed on behalf of the assignees, on the ground that the accounts were unsatisfactory. . Mr. Buchanan went into an explanation, and aub• mitted that it was a case in which he might be allowed to amend without an adjournment. His Honour said he could not allow that, but an adjournment must take plaee. Adjourned accordingly, but on the application of Mr. Buchanan protection and the allowance was continued. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE ANGELL. This bankrupt was described as of Compton-street, Brunswick-square, and to-day was appointed for his last examination, which, however, had not been completed, being of a very complicated character, but Messrs. Hart Brothers had been fully engaged on it. The assignees opposed, and ultimately his Honour adjourned the case sine die, with leave to come up vibe° prepared. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Dap) THAMES. - ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Henry Brooks, aged 16, late the employ of Mr. Burnett Moss, mahogany and timber merchant of Leman-street, Whitecbapel, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing 22 venters worth 183., the property of his employer. It appeared that the prisoner bad been in the employ of Mr. Moss for a fortnight only, on Saturday last Mr. Henry Fuldan, a German, residing at No. 11, Plummers row, Whitechapel, purchased some deals of the prosecutor which were delivered to him by the prisoner, who thus said he had some veneers to sell cheap, and asked Fuldan to buy them. Mr. Fuldan refused to do so, and told the prisoner be would have nothing to do with them. The prisoner had occasion to call upon Mr. Fuldan a second time, the subject of the veneers was again t b o r o o u p g r h . t on u e io r , to au l l ue M tic r e . , Fusaidldan,ww o i t u h l d a b v u i y e w t h o e f m bringing or three hours afterwards the prisoner brought the veneers, 22 in number, and asked 3s. for them. Mr. Fuldan gave him the money, and then very properly communicated with Mr. Moss. Mr. John Buckly, foreman to the prosecutor, iden tified the veneen , , and said they were worth 18s., and the property of his employer. Mr. Yardley—And the prisoner offered them for sale for 34., a sixth part of their value. There is no knoW ing the incalculable mischief he would have done his master if the witness, Fuldan, had not stopped his career thus early. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Yardley—There is no doubt of your guilt. You are sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labour MARKET NEWS.--(This Day.) TO CORRESPONDENTS. [G.
