• MONEY MARKET AND PITY NEWS. + CITY, Two o'CLocx. ry , ish From the advises received this morning from the ie, various manufacturing districts, it appears that business during the past week has shown very it little improvement in the principal branches of end trade. At Leeds the operations hav e been !at below the average, but prices generally re nd main steady. At Bradford there has been nd rather more inquiry for light goods for the Let summer demand, but only a limited business has .n -h been done in yarns. The wool and cotton hosiery nt trades of Leicester has shown more activity, and !re the operatives generally are fully employed. India Dr- goods at Manchester have been dull, and the de to pression lately prevailing has in some measure in creased. In yarns a decline of Id. per lb. has taken of di- place. The iron trade of South Staffordshire has )ne continued exceedingly dull ; at Birmingham, Shef is- field, Walsall, and Wolverhampton business has le aer been remarkably quiet for the time of year. ra- There has been an active demand for money to . est during the last few days, and a slight advance ur- has occurred in the rates, bankers and others oy, am having taken advantage of the increased require - . the ments of the public to ask higher terms for the to use of their capital. As the supply of money has her her at the same time become reduced, the applications ing at the Bank are more numerous than for some aim Lere time past. the The Liverpool Cotton market, on Saturday, closed Lted Les- quietly, and prices were with difficulty supported. 6 who The sales were about 6,000 bales. In the Railway yen share market a fair amount of business was trans. s. for oon acted, and quotations tended upwards. rer, At the meeting of the Bank of Australasia, held s Kee this day, a half-year's dividend at the rate of 6 per s Eler ob- cent. per annum, or 245. per share, and a bonus at ;ar- the rate of 9 per cent. per annum, or 365. per share, ng. free of income-tax, being at the rate of 15 per cent. l tree els- per annum, payable on the 17th April next, was w a. of unan i mous l y agree d to. 31 )wn A small amount of business has been transacted ily. this week in the Market for Public Securities, set lay- As 'wh ich have remained steady, although a heavy st ,of tone Seems to prevail.

Most of tho country markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with home-grown wheat. Good and fine samples changed hands steadily, at very full prices. Other kinds were tolerably firm, Barley was in good request, at extreme rates, and all other artices supported previous currencies. • The demand for wheat throughout the Continent con tinues steady, at full quotations. Spring corn, too, is steady, but not dearer. In the United States, both wheat and flour have continued firm. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of home-grown produce were only moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 40 quarters of wheat, 924 of barley, 12,954 of oats, 400 of beans, 540 of tares, 2,640 of linseed, 2,030 of rapeseed, 120 of sundry seeds, 10 sacks and 3,791 barrels of flair. A very limited supply of English wheat was :received fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise and by land-car riage ; consequently the show of samples was very mode rate. For most kinds the demand ruled steady, and in some in stances selected parcels realised ls. per quarter more money when compared with Monday last. The condition of the wheats exhibited some improve ment, yet it was by no means fine. We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat, wholly ex granary. Importers were very firm in their demands ; but the business doing was rather limited, at last week's cur rency. Floating cargoes of grain were inactive, but not cheaper. The few samples of home-grown barley on show were disposed of, at full quotations, Foreign parcels ruled steady, on former terms. Malt was in fair average supply, and heavy request, at late quotations. Although the fresh arrivals of oats are very moderate, the oat trade was inactive at previous quotations. Beans were in fair average supply, and heavy request, at barely stationary prices. In peas very little was doing, on former terms. There was a slight improvement in the flour trade, at very full prices. CURRENCY PER IMPERYAL MEASURE.

From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up wore moderately good, and in somewhat improved cor dition. Most breeds moved off slowly, and in some in stances prices ruled 2d per 81bs lower than cm Monday last. The extreme value of the best Scots was 4s 10d per 81bs. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire amounted to 2,460 Scots, short horns, and crosses ; from other parts of England 300 various breeds ; from Scotland 240 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 228 oxen and heifers. We were again but moderately supplied with sheep. Com pared with this day se'nnight no quotable change took place in prices. On the whole the mutton trade ruled steady, the best old Downs sold at 6s 8d per 81bs. The shorn sheep went at from lod to 15 par M. under that quotation. Lambs—the show of which was very moderate—sold slowly at from 6s to Gs Pd per Sibs. We had a steady demand for calves at very fall prices. The supply was limited.

The market for both linseed and rapeseed continues very firm, and prices have somewhat advanced. Cloverseed commands very little attention, and inferior parcels may be purchased on easier terms. Tares are in moderate request, at full quotations ; but other seeds are a slow inquiry. Cakes rule firm, at last week's currency. I' urnip,White,p.bus.l2s to 14s I Carraway Swede Mustard, 8r0w,,....

The select committee appointed by the House of Com mons to inquire into the best mode of purifying the Serpen tine resumed their investigation this morning in Committee Room 16—Mr. Cowper, First Commissioner of Works, in tho chair. Mr. Simpson, C.E., of the Chelsea and Lambeth Water Companies, was recalled, and said that upon two occasions considerable quantities of mud were excavated from the Serpentine, and after it bad been dried spread over the grass as manure. The bulk of the drainage of the adjoin ing district had been cut off by the construction of the tunnel sewer near to Edgware-road, and it would be useless now to collect the drainage of the park. The Serpentine for a long time has never been self-supporting. The Chelsea Water Company had supplied large quantities of water for some years past. By Mr. Locke—The quantity of water supplied in the year 1850 was 99,000,000 gallons; in 1851, 72,000,000; in 1852, 72,000,000; in 1853, 61,000,000; in 1854, 58,000,000; in 1855, 48,000,000; in 1856, 60,000,000; in 1857, 42,000,000; in 1858, 21,000,0011; in 1859, 38,000,000; and in the year ending the Ist of March, 1860, 20,000,000. A small quantity was afterwards taken out to water the roads with in the parks. The actual amount left them in the last year was 18,000,000 gallons. Con sidering all things, he was not prepared to recom mend the abandoning the proposed system of filtration in favour of the proposal for pumping up the water from Duck Island. Because, if such a quantity of water was taken from that place it would soon exhaust the natural supply, and the sewage would [then find its way there, which he considered would be a very great evil. It would be impossible to pump a million or a million and a half daily from the place without admitting the sewage of Westminster. By Sir J. Shelly—lf that :quantity of water had been pumped from Duck Island for any length of time, the present state of the water would shake him in that opinion. The engine he had seen he did not think was capable of pump ing that quantity per diem. By Captain Arciidall—Supposing there was no diminu- tion in the supply of water at Duck Island, he should think it would not be good enough to put into the Serpen tine. The principal cause of the bad water in the Serpen tine he attributed to vegetable impurity. At the upper part of the river he had seen the water quite black, caused by the admission of sewage. Mr Jas. Easton, CE., a partner of,the firm of Easton and Amos, was next called—He said that he had been consulted frequently by the Commissioner of Works as to the supply of water. His firm was at present under contract to supply all the Government offices ana the Houses of Parliament with water. He had also been consulted as to the state of the water in the Serpentine. In 1848 he made a report as to the state of the river, estimating the cost of the works for improving the water, and that in St. James's-park at £30,000. He was again consulted by Sir Benjamin Hall, when he was First Commissioner of Public Works. His firm at present supplied the water in St. James's Park. There was a sufficient quantity in the well from which the water was pumped to supply the Palace Gardens, St. James's Park, and the Serpentine. He had sent in an estimate to Lord John Manners, when he was First Commissioner of Works, to supply the Serpentine, and the ornamental water in Kensington-gardens. The cost of so doing he put down at £5,850. This witness's examination occupied the attention of the committee up to its adjournment.

The Bombay Gazette, of th e 9th u lt., con t a i ns the followi▪ ng reference to the opening of a section of the Bombay and Baroda Railivay :—" The railway from Am rolee to Poorwadi. 30 miles i n l eng th, was o p ene d on Tues day last wi▪ th great eclat. Invitati o ns w e r e issued to the Rajah of Baroda, the resident, the civil and military offi cers, the Government native servants of rank, and most of the respectable people of the district." We believe that Major-General Sir William Mansfield has declined the appointment of second in com mand of the China expedition to which he was gazetted at home some two or three months since. He will now in all probability remain with Lord Clyde as Chief of the Staff until his resignation, when Sir William will have the chief command at Bombay in succession to Sir Hugh Rose.— Army and .Navy Gazette. Lord Farris was the first who wore a Volunteer uniform at Court. His lordship attended the second levee of the season—that preceding the special Volunteer Court— and, instead of appearing in his gorgeous official costume, as Governor of Madras, his lordship was habited simply as an officer of Volunteers. The uniform, of course, attracted muck attention from its novelty and the circumstances under Which it was worn. It is stated in the French papers that arrange ments are in contemplation for the conveyance of the .acce lerated day mail between Landon and Pan! in 11 hour? 9a Calais, and that this improved service is likely to begin in May. To carry it out the railway spe ed must be increased to a point not yet attained, and less margin will be left . for delays and contingencies than at p resent, so that uniform regularity can hardly be looked for at first, especially when, with the much greater margin now allowed, the mail is so frequently late. Still, the p ro p osed acceleration will be of great advantage, and it is only to be regretted that, although the low-water landing is completed at Boulogne, measures have not been taken to utilise it, by organising a fixed postal service by that route, accomplishing the journey in less time and under less pressure than by the plan now men tioned. A subscription is on foot for the erection of a me morial window to Mrs. Hemans, to be placed in the church where she lies buried—that of St. A nne , Dublin. The es ti m ated cost is £250, of which ab ou t one-fifth has been already promised to lead the subscription. TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF A SPINNING MILL AT PRESTON.— . About a quarter b e f ore s i x on F r id ay morn i ng, a . fire was discovered in the thi r d s t ory o f the cotton .spin rung mill of Messrs. J. and J. Haslain, in Parker-street, Preston. The mill was four storeys high, and about 40 yards long by 30 yards in breadth, contained 29,000 spin dles with preparations, a n d gave employmenti to from 150 to 200 hands. Immediately after the discovery of the fire and when the gas had only been turned on about five minutes, an alarm was given by one of the spinners, who ran for a bucket of water, but on his return he found that the room was a mass of flames. The engines, with the brigade and Mr. Marriott, the superintendent, arrived at the firein abont 20 minutes, but the fire had then so spread—having laid hold of the whole building—that the efforts of the firemen, either to extinguish the flames or to save any portion of the main building were u tterly powerless. In 15 minutes after the discovery of the fire the roof had fallen in, the windows were all burnt out, the flooring of the different storeys gav e way almost simultaneously, and , along with the mules, carding frames, &c., fell to the ground floor with a fearful crash, nothing of the main building being left standing but a portion of the north and south walls. The engine and boiler houses, at the east end of the mill, were left un touched by the fire. Nothing. definite is known as t o the origin of the casualty. The building anal its contents were insured for £20, 500 , which sum it is thought will barely cover the loss. SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. -- - Closing Business Share'!

This is an appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls, 12th January, 1858, dismissing the Attorney. Gene• ral's information. By the information in this suit, the informant insisted that the effect of the Acts of Parliament relied on was only to give to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners the same share as the holders of the suspended canons would have been entitled to receive, if such canons had Rot been suspended, of the rents, profits, fees, or emoluments of the said College Chapel. The Attorney-General, Sir Richard Bethel, Q.O , is now being heard for the appellant, and contends that he is bene ficiary entitled to £6OO a year. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) rLumsTEAD, wooLwicir, AND CHARLTON PT7RE WATER CONSUMERS' COMPANY V. DAVIS.--JUDGMENT. The contention in this case was whether the Court of Chancery or the Court of Bankruptcy had a concurrent or separate jurisdiction in the winding up of this company under the Registration and Winding -up Acts 19 and 20 Vict., caps. 47 and 110, and 8 Vict., cap. 110, sec. 60, 107, 108, and 109-110. By a deed of settlement in October, 1852, the company was formed and completely registered as a limited company under the Act 19 and 20 Vict., cap. 47, and the defendant was appointed official manager, and cer tain other persons trustees. On the failure of the company an application was made to Vice-Chancellor Sir Richard Kindersley for a winding up order, and a question was raised whether the Court of Chancery had jurisdiction under the winding up act. His Honour the Master of the Rolls, on carefully consi dering the several clauses of the winding up acts relied on, came to the conclusion that the Court of Chancery had no jurisdiction in the matter, and dismissed the plaintiff's bill without costs. SHERIFFS' COURT. GILLARD V. STANDON-A CATTLE FOOD COMPANY. This was an action brought by plaintiff, trading under the title of the United Kingdom Cattle Food Company, to recover £6 6s. for three cwt. of cattle food from defendant, a shopkeeper at Wimbledon. Plaintiff said he had, through his traveller, sold defen dant the food now sued for. Repeated application had been made for the money, and plaintiff had received a letter from defendant. (The letter was read, and was to the ef fect that defendant had not been able to sell any of the food, and wished plaintiff to take it back.) Defendant said he never wrote the letter. A young man, under the instructions of defendant's wife, sent it. Mr. Haynes cross-examined the plaintiff, and asked him who formed the company. Plaintiff did not see what that had to do with the case, but ultimately admitted that he was the sole proprietor. He bought the company in January, 1859. The company was originally carried on by a pers on in Hull, Yorkshire. Gave nothing for the business, but bought the stock, and as there was some show cards and bills, witness was allowed to carry on the business under the established title. The traveller was called, and said he asked defendant if that person would take up the Wimbledon agency. De fendant said he would, and 3 cwt. of food was sent down, from which defendant might select his samples. Defendant—l hav'nt sold an ounce of the food. His Honour—He is your agent, plaintiff, and you can't sue him. These proceedings are nonsensical. Plaintiff—Then I suppose I can have my food back. His.Honour—Oh, yes. There will be a nonsuit, with costs. TILE INSTALMENTARY PROCESS.-70SEPH ♦. RINVI.L. This was a claim for goods sold and delivered, and Mr. Hubert Wood asked for time. A short time before the goods in question were supplied defendant was bankrupt, and he was now willing to pay by instalments. His Honour did not think he could apply the instalmer.- tary process to such a case. Mr. Wood—lf defendant is oppressed, it will only break up bim again. The debt is a comparatively small one, and surely an order to pay it by two instalments would not be going much out of the way. Plaintiff said that the defendant was a retail dealer. His Honour—Here is a case of a wholesale and retail dealer, and the instulmentary process cannot apply. De fendant must pay in ten days. THE LAW OF LANDLORD AND TENANT WHEN A FIRE OCCURS.—REID V. HUTCHINSON. This was an action to recover £lO for one quarter's rent. Mr. Grey appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Buchanan for the defendant. Defendant had occupied, under a person of the name of Searle, who had become bankrupt, and plaintiff had pur chased the reversion. Defendant had admitted his tenancy by a letter, and it appeared that on the 17th Sept. a fire broke out, and the premises, including defendant's first floor, were entirely destroyed. Mr. Buchanan cross examined the plaintiff as to where the street door now was. Plaintiff admittod that it 'wars up a uvurt. His Honour held that the plaintiff, in the case of a fire, need not put himself at all out of the way. Mr. Buchanan—That is a melancholy state of things when a man is charged in this way. His Honour—You recollect the case of the farmer who had to pay for his farm under water during the lease. Verdict for the plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DA.Y.., MARLBOROUGH-STREET. UNPROVOKED ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—Harriet Kite, a young woman, was charged with the following assault on a married fomale, named Eliza Moss, residing at 15 Litch field-street. Mrs. Moss said the previous night she had been out for a walk, and was returning down Litchfield-street to her home, when she saw a large crowd assembled in the street, and on going up to see what was the cause, she found two men fighting. She remarked that it was a shame it should be permitted, to a bystander, and was passing on, when the prisoner, who had followed her, making use of the expres sion "Take that," stru' k her a violent blow in the mouth, knocking her down, and on her attempting to get up, she knocked her down a second time, getting a crowd round her ; and, not content with this, she twisted her hand in her hair and struck her head on the ground. She then told some of the men who got round to take her (com plainant's) cloak, of the value of £3, which they did ; and, in consequence of the brutal treatment she had received, and being nearly insensible, she was unable to make any pursuit, and she had entirely lest her cloak. She . had not given the slightest provocation. Tricker, 168 E, said he rescued the prosecutrix from the prisoner, who had her hand twisted in her hair at the time. The prosecutrix's mouth was full of blood. He went after the men who had taken prosecutrix's cloak, but was unable to secure them. Mr. Beadon said it was an assault of a most brutal and unprovoked nature, and ordered the prisoner to pay a fin e of £5, or two months' imprisontnent. THAMES. TRH DISTURBANCES IN ST. GEORGE'S CIIURCII.--- Harriet Scarborough, a dissipated-looking woman, with a dirty and neglected child in her arms, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with being drunk and disorderly and wilfully disturbing the congregation assembled for divine worship in the parish church of St. George's-in_the• • East. Police-constable Carter, No. 264 K, said he was in the north aisle of St. George's Church yesterday evening. About half-past 7 o'clock, in the very middle of the service, the prisoner came into the church and stood close to him, and directly afterwards commenced talking ♦ery loudly to another woman who came into the church with her. He requested her to be quiet or leave the church, on which she commenced abusing him, and said, " The parson says he can save my body ; he can't save me at all." He again told her to leave the church, and she said, in a loud tone, " I won't... , go out until the service is over. No one can save my soul." He then took her into custody. As she was leaving the church she again called out loudly "He can't save me--he can save no one," and acted in a very disorderly and foolish manner. The prisoner, who was quite subdued, said she was very sorry, indeed, for having acted in the way she had done. She would not have done so if she had not been the worse for liquor. She was not aware that she had made a noise in the church, and had no intention to do so. Mr. Selfe—There are noisy people by hundreds who go to St. George's Church to make a noise—sober ones, I mean, and there is no occasion for drunken and disorderly women to go there. The prisoner—l was not aware what I did; pray far give me. Mr. Selfe—You have sense enough to know you had no right to go into the church drunk. The prisoner—l was not aware that I was doing wrong. I was bereft of my senses. Mr. Selfe—l think you were—had she the child with her last night Carter—No, sir, she had not. The prisoner—l have six children, sir. Mr. Selfe—You had better be at home and setting them a better example than going to the disorderly church of St. George's-in-the-East on Sunday evening. The prisoner —I won't go there again. Mr. Selfe—l hope you will not. The magistrate, after consulting with Mr. Pyer4ho chief clerk, said he could not call the prisoner's condu ct foolish, as it was a wilf u l disturbance of public wors hi p . He believed she had n o t known what she was ab out, but her conduct was highly reprehensible. H e discharged her, and told her to go hom e and mind her family. According to the French financial j ourna l s, the expec t e d call of £ 4 on Lombardo - Venetian R a il way s h ares will be split into two moieties, one of which will be made payable in May and the other in July. The forthcoming dividend and interest will probably be deducted from the latter, /~ is it/~iyl THE ITALIAN Q UESTION [The following app;ared in our third edition of Saturday evening :—] The following telegrams have been received at Mr. lteuter's office : TURIN, MARCH 10. A despatch of Count Cavour to Baron Ricasoli, dated Feb. 29, communicates the French ideas re lative to the settlement of Central Italy. Count Cavour says:— " France manifests no preference relative to the choice of the future Sovereign, but the verbal and authentic assurances of the Freneh Government show that the election of a Prince of the House of Savoy would be opposed by France. I am cer tain that your Excellency will take into con sideration the counsels given to Tuscany by our generous ally, to whom Italy is indebted for her destiny. The Government of Tuscany will not take the responsibility of the final deliharations without again consulting the nation. The Govern- ment, in acknowledging the opportunity for the new vote, 'hopes that the Cabinet of Tuscany will act in such a manner that the election will take place with loyalty and sincerity. Whatever may be the result, the Government of the King accepts it beforehand." A despatch of Baron Ricasoli to Count Cavour, dated the 4th March, denies the pretence that Tus cany aspires without reflection to uniom with Pied mont. Baron Ricasoli says :—Tuscany is intelligent enoughto easily understand that the time for muni cipalism has passed, and that the national idea has replaced it. The Government mandate of the 27th April was to free the country from Austrian slavery by moans of a war, and to find a guarantee for the future in union with Piedmont. The attitude of the Tuscan people during the last few months confirms this mandate, and proves that if union to Sardinia is a manifestation against Austria it is nevertheless not an aspiration unthinkingly manifested towards Sardinia. Baron Riess°ll explains the motives by which, in concert with the Governor Farini, he has decided on the new vote being taken at the period fixed for the assembling of the Sardinian Parliament, and says—Everything confirms the opinion that we were right in freeing ourselves from a dangerous constitution. I have received your Excellency's despatch of Feb. 29, and I con sider it the duty of my loyalty to promulgate the French ideas among the Tuscans. It suffices to say that universal suffrage is not in contradiction with the wishes of the Emperor, who has many and important titles to the gratitude of the population of Central Italy. The Cabinet of Turin would not take the responsibility of the de finitive resolution, but I guarantee that the vote shall be given in free and absolute liberty. The Opinione of to-day asserts that the Govern ments of Chambery, Annery, and Nice are about to publish a proclamation to their provinces in ac cordance with the views contained in Count Cavour's note of the 2d March. RIMINI, MARCH 7. The agitation and manifestations in Ancona and Jessi continue. After the refusal of the popula tion to pay the taxes, a military council has been assembled in Ancona, at which General Rabber matten presided. A resolution was adopted to act in all cases energetically against the town, and to resist all further assaults, if any should take place. The equipage of the troops, including the munition and the baggage of the officers and the delegates has left Pesaro. TURIN, MARCH 9. The Official Gazette of to-day publishes a mes sage of M. Farini, dated Bologna, March 2, and addressed to Count Cavour, in reply to the message of the latter, dated Feb. 29. M. Farini says : According to the English proposals, the whole of the populations of Central Italy were without dis tinction to be called to a fresh vote before the oc cupation by Sardinian troops took place. The state of things seemed to indicate the advisability of accepting any form of the vote which the mediating Powers should propose. If the form is not decided upon he should choose that of univer sal suffrage. The most favourable moment for the vote appeared to be at the time of the convocation of the Sardinian Parliament, as it was then to be decided whether or not these populations should participate in the assembly, or, at all events to dis cover a method of adjusting the precarious and dangerous state of affairs. The reading of the last diplomatic documents, and especially M. Thouvenel's note of the 31st January, confirmed my opinions. I therefore re solved upon publishing my decree of the Ist March, summoning the people of the Emilian provinces to a new vote. At the same time I received your mes sage communicating to me your ideas upon the French proposals. I received them with that re spect and deference due to his Majesty, who has done so much for our independence, and who has not prohibited the publication of these proposals to the people. I could never have taken any resolu tion without consulting the national will. My de cree is not in contradiction with the desires of the Emperor. If at the first view some difference seemed to exist relative to the Romagna, in reality there is none. It would have been contrary to the public law to establish a distinction between these provinces and the others. Since France is dis posed to approve of the annexation of the Ro magna to Piedmont, with the recommendation that the Sardinian Government ia their provinces should be subordinate to the high authority of the Pope, the proposed vicariate refers rather to the relations between the King and the Pope, than to the inhabitants. I could not have submitted to the people this abstract and delicate question which would have required complicated explanations on the nature of the limits to the authority of the Pope. The acts of Rome had destroyed any possibility of such a combination, which, were it estab lished in these provinces, would have produced disturbances, nothing being more averse to the in habitants than Papal interference. M. Farini con cludes, "In case the party voting in favour of a separate kingdom should obtain a majority in the Romagna, this party would very easily consent to any arrangement which the Government of his Majesty, in accordance with European politics, might think proper to adopt. M y duty .and my honour oblige , me not to leave . these provinces at o n has been guarantee for t h ab solutee pr C o s n e e n , t but Il en ca t il as pr m o y mi mis se s every full and absolute liberty of the vote." PARIS, SATURDAY. The Constitutionnel publishes an article, signed by M. Grandguillot, headed, "Universal suffrage and public order in Europe." M. Grandguillot thinks it necessary to explain the limits of the doctrine of national sovereignty now invoked against the Imperial policy, to the advantage of the combinations which his Majesty cannot protest against, although prepared without his inspirations. It is necessary to show how a false extension of those:prineiples may become anincessant source of troubles and dangers to Europe. Univer sal suffrage can only be applied to the internal af fairs of a country, and cannot serve to modify the exercise of the sovereign power in relation with policy from e ol icy foreign affairs for t he a gg randisemen t of a ter ritory. M . Grandguillot frees thenh from the charge of bein g identi fied with acts e as little conformable to the counsels given o f France as to public rights in Europe. BERLIN, Minn 10. It is stated that the English Government will not protest against the annexation of Savoy and Nice to France, but will support Switzerland in her claims concerning the neutralised districts of S ivoy. ROYAL NAVAL RESERVE.—ABEIMEEN.-"-Mr. Batten Captain Warren, R.N. Captain crock, and Mr. K ello s; secretary t o th e M ar i ne Board, attended a meeting of the seamen of this port last week to explain to them the advantages of enrolling. themselves. Mr. Batten, on being called to the chair, said that if 1,000 seamen joined from that port, at least £7,000 or am() would be distributed annually among their wives and children, w hi c h would be a most acceptable boon, while the seamen themselves would also have two months' keep and exercise in gunnery like the Volunteer Artillery practice. There was very' little chance of their ever being called out, which would only be at times of national emergency. As to the fear of flogging, which was only inflicted on bad men now, m en who dreaded that were not wanted in the service. With 30,000 seamen trained to naval gunnery we might defy tain the world. Th e objections made were answered by Cap Warren, and, after three cheers for Messrs. Batten and Warren, tb.e meeting, which was most successful, tyklainated, Stock Stock Stock stock N
