The Prussian Gazette of the 28th ult. publishes a proclamation from the reigning Duke of Saxe-Gotha to his subjects, in which he announces his determina tion of submitting to the new Diet a proposition for the union of the two duchies of Gotha and Cobur g under the same Constitut ion, which was rejected by the last Diet. A latter from Vienna of the 25th ult. says :—" The Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael are expected here in a few days. They are on their way to Venice. The Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha is to arrive here in the course of the summer, to meet Duke Augustus Coburis--Kohary,. who married the Princess Clemen tine, daughter of Louis Philippe." Th e Emperor of Austria left Vienna on the 25th ult. for Trieste. After quiet had been restored to some extent, Mr. THOMAS CLARKE then rose and repudiated tEe assertion that Mr. Jones represented the Chartists of the country, or that his assertions had any truth in them. He, on the contrary, asserted that as far as his locality was concerned, the Chartists were in favour ( f this as sociation, and were ready to give all support to i t in their power. After several delegates had addressed the conference with assurances of support, the conference adjourned until ten o'clock to-morrow. ENGINEERS' MUTUAL LIFE AS SURANCE SOCIETY.—(THIS DAY.)

RUSSIA. A letter from St. Petersburgh, of the 13th ult., in the Courrier du Havre, announces that the national funds had rEeently advanced materially in conse quence of considerable investments having been made in them on account of French capitalists. The Five per Cents. had risen to 103 and 109, and the Six per COALS. from 125 to 131. The Russian Government had resolved to carry into execution the project of establishing a railway from Chartoff to Theodosia, and had accepted the proposition of a private company for that purpose, with a capital of fifty millions of silver roubles (118,750,000 francs), to which the Government had consented to guarantee an in terest of 3 per cent. Chartoff is a city of the Ukraine, situated 1,030 kilometres S.E. of Sr. Pe tersburgh, and Theodosia or liaffa is a port on the Black Sea, near the straits of Kertch. It is in contemplation also to establish a railway from Mos cow to Chartoff, so that a direct communication will be ultimately established between Petersburgh and the Crimea, and the capital of Russia be thus able tc communicate in a few days with the Black Sea and Odessa.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) _ _ Mr. Foa, while he admired the spirit of the remarks made by the last speaker, differed from him as to the correctness of his assertion. If the people were not with the association, with whom were they ? He emphatically asserted that they were.— (Cries of "No. no," and " Hear.") He himself was a Chartist, and he was sure that if the Chartists went along with this association they would have a much better chance of obtaining the objects for which they were striving. This, however, was not the time for the discussion of the principles of the ecciety—they had been settled long ago—it was a meeting for business purposes, and the object of it was to settle the means by which those views could be best carried out. What was wanted now was to effect a coincidence between Parliament and the people, and that was not done by the present system of representation. Tho first thing was to purify this system, the effect of which was to make the mr.jority subordinate to the minority. What they wanted was to reverse this; and he thought that the proposed re distribuion of Members was the best means of effecting this. far better than the plan of Lord John Russell. Mr. G. DAWSON said that he was a thorough Chartist himself, and had at a meetiug of the association at Birmingham proposed and carried an amendment in favour of universe). suffrage. He himself had re gretted that the association had not committed itself to a broad principle on this point. He himself had always been an enemy to obstructive policies, and he never would be guilty of it, and for that reason though he would never give up universal suffrage, he should never refuse to give help to any who went that same way, but were nor, yet ready to go quite to far. That was the sense too of the town of BirmieghaEn Mr. I‘..inn'trha.tou said that the only claim which he had to the notice of the re , ociation was, that since the time he had her'. a neat in Parliement, he had supported the motion far universal suffrage. He regretted that more of his countrymen were not present on that t ceasion, but he could assure the meeting that as far as his individual cnieticueney want they were altogether in fevour of the aseccaeoe. Lord De:hy was now in power, and it wee icapossinlo to tell witar, he meant to de, but it Was rumoured that he meant to take ,he toecap loaf from them which !ree-'race had given them. Phe di I then the time would come when they must j:.;in the flag of Reform to that of Free-trade, and insist in calling on i.ei people in e. moss to sly and determine whether they would have a corn-law or not. The great deject they had to attain was twat:it:any, without it they could du nothing.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said that row the time had come when the delegates from the different constituencies of the country would come forward and announca the state of feeling in their different localities. • A DELEGATE aftid, that with regard to the question of Mr. Fox, it the people were not with this association, where were they? he esserted that the people were not supporting this reform or that reform, but the brewers and publicans, the greatest enemies of the community.—(L')nl laughter.) Air. GESSIN, of Bedford, said that in his borough the general feeling was in favour of progressive reform. He was a memoer of the legal profession, and was desirous of seeing the practice of the law reformed. He was not a Chartist—(Cries of " Oh," and laughter)— bin was desirous of seeing all reform obtained by fair and peaceful means. He had not, however, the slightest intention of refinaiog on the Chartists. Mr. DEAN was en advocate of the rights of man, and 'when any man proved to him what his rights were he would be the fir:. , , to join in obtaining those riehts. Mr' DICK, of Fientetry, regretted that ho could not ant with this a . . , s , J!ii‘Aun. They had net the people great with them, them, heir ever aTeeln have until they recegnised th principle of radii eal suffrage.

This was an action for a breach of promise of marriage. Mr. klumfrey, QC., and Mr. Flowers appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. .Macaulay, Q.C., f o r the defendant. The plaintiff, Miss Agenura Standaloft, is a lady's maid; about forty-two years of age, in the service of Mrs. Benson, of Utterby, in this county, and has been so for a great many years. The defendant, who is about the same age, was formerly coachman in the same f am ily ; and in the year 1837, when be left that service and went to L ou d on , was engag ed to be married to the plainti ff. The defendant upon going to London, went into th e service of General Fuller ton, and so remained until th e au t um n of 1847, when be took a public-house in E as t- s t ree t, Manchester square, and was married t o a young woman in the same stetion of life, and without money. From the year 1837 the plaintiff and defendant had never met; until March, 1846 . A few of the defendant's letters were read in evidence, dated at co nsiderable intervals, but a correspondence was kept up between them in which the defendant frequently assured the plain tiff that he had no noti on o f marry i n g any one else ; nor did i t =appear that he had, for the last of those letters was in Mar c h, 1846, and his acquaintance with his present wife did not begin till the early part of the year 1847. I n N ovem ber of that year the marriage took place, and this action was not com menced until the month of January in the pre sent year Mr. MACAULAY, on the part of the defendant, ad mitted that a promise was proved, but contended that this was the attorney's action, brought for the sake of getting costs, and that the smallest amount of damages would meet the justice of the case. The plaintiff was a highly respectable and excellent young woman, whose merits be was instructed to admit to the fullest extent; but it was idle to suppose that she bad suf fered any grievous disappointment from the conduct of the def en d ant, who bad b ear d not hi ng of the plain tiff since 1846, and had been led to suppose that the engagement formerly subsisting between them had, by a sort of t ac i t consent, come to an end. He had now a wife an d f amily to support, and bis ruin would be the consequence if by the verdict of the jury he should be called upon to pay any serious amount of damages. The jury retired for a short time, and returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 40s. ritICKEE V. WATILINBON. This was an action of libel. Mr. Hutufrey, Q.O , Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr. W. 11. Adams were counsel for the Sergeant Miller for the defendant. Lincoln shire, plaintiff is one of the coroners for L Boston shire, and also editor and proprietor of tdheeditor of Herald; the defendant is the proprietor at2 ... _ ee Frpss, the Lincolnshire, Boston, and Spalding -tr wa der' compe plaintiff; Mr. end the action was brought to reco ver in damages for the injury which the p,blcation in the himself to have sustained by the pu blication o f De cember, last-mentioned newspaper of the of pe cember, followtng paragrspl' :- ~ A P ugilistic 1851, of the following paragraph pugilistic coroner Coroner.—Oh WedeesdaYeve g 'rangWle Old flaws paid a visit to his freehold, the to hear how quiet (?), and the village was te rrifiedAby insinuating fellows. alleged village swains are serve , . c ertain comely cook told cold, and summed up by over a body before it was But walls have ear; and Famous in love and war, so hare domestics, sad a our hero he l l a d in alinqUest singing 'My pretty Jane : MARCII 2, 1852. what she had seen of the Bloomer costume to her master when he came home, an d so the pugilist got Licks instead of halfp ence , an d b ea t a rapid retreat without any of E.

The declaration ex plained this composition as imputing to the plaintiff that he had wooed Mrs. Swaine, a lady who lived with her husband at a pl ace ca ll e d th e W rang l e Old Haws, with a view to an illicit intercourse between them ; and the Learn e d C ounse l f or t h e p l a i nt iff cha racterised the libel as a dis g r ace f u l an d a b om i na ble abuse of the liberty of the press. Two or three witnesses were called to prove that they understood the libel i n th e sense i mpute d to i t by the declaration ; but the pl a i n tiff hi mse lf was no t called ; and it was elicited on cross-examination that the plaintiff had frequently denounced th e d e f en d an t' s paper, and expressed his determinati on t o pu t i t d own on account of the scurrilous personal attacks which it made upon himself and others. It also appeared that on one occasion the plaintiff, bei ng a mem b er o f the Boston town council, bad threatened to pull the nose of another member, and that upon proceeding to enforce the threat, some blows had passed between him and his antagonist. i‘lr. Sergeant MILLER, in addressing the jury for the defendant, said that the indignant and vitupera tive language in which the plaintiff's case had been opened must have been borrowed from the memorable account of the fierce contest between the rival editors of the Eatanswilll Gazette and Eatanswill Inde• pendent in " Pickwick ;" and he quoted the racy abuse of those far-famed worthies as illustrative of the apparent character of editorial squabbles in Lin colnshire. The Learned Counsel characterised the libel as a trumpery squib, which could not possibly its meaning the character of any one, and urged that meaning was very ambiguous, but that at all events it was absurd to suppose that it intended to convey any serious imputation of any kind. Whether the plaintiff had sustained any damage the jury could pretty well infer from the fact that he bad not dared to get into the witness-box. The Learned JUDGE briefly summed up, and The jury having retired for short time, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 51. On the Civil side two special jury causes and one road indictment remain to be tried. Mr. Justice Maule has been engaged in trying prisoners. WESTERN CIRCUIT, Winchester. March 1. The commission was opened here on Saturday by Mr. Justice Erie and Mr. Justice Talfourd. Their Lordships attended Divine service yesterday at the Cathedral, and at eleven o'clock this morning they commenced the business of the assizes, Mr. Justice Talfourd presiding in the Crown Court, and Mr. Justice Erie sitting at Nisi Prins. There are upwards of 100 prisoners in the calendar; some of the offences are of a very serious character; at the same time it is right to state that there are a vast number of persons charged with most trifling offences. In his charge to the grand jury, the Learned JUDGE congratulated them upon the state of the calen• dar, and spoke in high terms of the great efficiency of the constabulary force of the county, under the able superintendence of Captain Harris. The cause list has only seven cases in it, one of which is to be tried by a special jury. Nothing has occurred in the Crown Court to call for notice. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—Oxford, Feb. 28. The commission was opened here this afternoon by Mr. Justice Wightman. The Learned Judges will attend divine service to-morrow, and on Monday morning, at ten o'clock, the business will begin. There are but three venires returned to the clerk of assize, and it is said all of these have been settled, and that consequently there will be no civil business for trial. The calendar contains the names of 47 pri. soners, of whom 6 are charged with burglary, 1 with murder, 6 with cutting and woundieg, 5 with assault and robbery, 1 with bestiality, 1 with horse stealing, 2 with arson, 1 with concealing the birth of a child, 1 with perjury, 1 with obtaining goods by false pre tences, 1 with uttering counterfest coin, 1 with con spiracy to defraud, and the rest with common ler. cenies. It is thought that the murder case will occupy a great deal of time, as the evidence is circumstantial, and 48 witnesses will have to be examined. Though it is thought that the evidence is pretty conclusive, yet there is a saying here that in Oxfordshire murder is not hanging. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, March 1. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant. Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates, at the Sessions-house, C.erkenvvell.) The March general sessions was commenced to day at Clerken well. The calendar was a light one, there being only 52 prisoners for trial, 47 charged with felonies and with misdemeanours. Edwin Smith was brought up to receive judgment. The Learned JUDGE observed that the information he had received of his previous character since the trial had fully confirmed his suspicions. He had twice been convicted in addition to what appeared on the trial, and on the occasion that he gave informa tion he was one of the principals, end betrayed his comrades. He also expressed his dissatisfaction at the police sergeant's conduct. He then sentenced him to 10 years' transportation. Mallin then stepped for ward, and said that he was the man who Sergeant Quinnear on the trial said might be mistaken for the prisoner. He had always got his living honestly, and for ten years had lived in Holborn (we understood), and bad been very much injured by the reports that had gone forth about him. He did not think he could be unintentionally mis taken for the prisoner. One of the jury who was present knew him, and he was sure he could confirm his statement. Mallin and the prisoner were then put up near each other, and the only point of identity Teemed to be that both had light hair. Thomas tlawkins, aged 22, and Stephen Pearce, aged 19, were indicted for stealing six shirts, value the property of n illiam Howe. Hawkins pleaded guilty, and Pearce not guilty. The facts of the case were as follow s :—Tiie prose cutor was a gardener, residing in Navarino 'place, Dalston. The shirts in question were hanging on a line in his garden on the 10th of February, and he rniised them in the afternoon. The prisoners were seen coming together from the direction of the gar den, Hawkins baying a bundle under his arm. On being followed they made off, but dropped the bundle, which was opened and found to contain the shirts. Hawkins was taken into custody on the 25th at Shacklewell, and confessed the robbery and impli cated Pearce. Pearce was taken in the Worship street Police-court when Hawkins was brought before the magistrate. The jury found a verdict of Guilty. Hawkins was shown to be a notorious thief, and to have been previously convicted, and The COURT sentenced him to ten years' transpor tation, and Pearce to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. John Bordessa, an Italian, aged 27, was charged with stealing 78 patent movements for looking glasses, a handkerchief, and a knife, value 21. 5: , . 9.i., the property of Michael Foletti, his master, and for receiving the same. Mr. Parry appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Harry for the defence. Mr. PARRY, in opening the case, stated that Mr. Foletti was a naturalised Italian, and a lookingglass maker. He went through the leading features of the case, which were subsequently detailed in evidence, and observed, in conclusion, that he believed Mr. Harry appeared on the part of the Society for the Protection of Italian Boys to defend. He called — Michael Foletti, who stated that he now resided at 44, Cowper-street, St. Luke's, and was a looking glass maker. He was living before at 64, Banner street, and about eight o'clock on the morning of the s . 26th of January a fire broke out on his premisesured , n w hich was got under about nine.

The proceedings are likely, we und erstand, Gazette. service, and knew the prisoner. On the morning after the fire he saw the prisoner go into the house about twelve o'cicck, and take some patent screws — about two dozen pairs, as far as he knew. Those pro duced were like them. The prisoner asked him to take some with him, but he did not do so. He told his master what he saw on the 13th of Febru ary; not before. He was still in Mr. Foletti's ser vice, but did not tell him before, because he forgot it. When they were talking about the matter at the fire-office he recollected it, and told him afterwarda. John Piachintini stated that the 10th of February the prisoner gave him the patent screws produced, to sell for him, but his master would not buy them of him. He brought 33 dozen pairs, and he said he might sell them for Bs. a dozen, or 1/. for the lot, in cluding a dozen brass castors. The next day be told the prisoner that his master would not buy them from him, and he said he would send a boy for them, which be did. Marianne Foletti deposed that she never gave the knife produced to the prisoner. It bad been lost three months, and she had several times made appli cation to the prisoner about it, who always said he had not got it. Inspector Brennan took the prisoner into custody on the 15th of February, at Hoxton Old-town_ He charged him with the rubbery, and be replied, " If I rob him I send them back." At the station the knife and handkerchief were found on him. The prose cutor said, " These belong to my wife," and the pri soner answered that Mrs. Foletti bad given them to him. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. HORRY regretted that the society alluded to by the learned counsel for the prosecution no longer existed ; for, if it had, the prisoner probably would have had ample means to enable him to get up his defence properly. He then addressed himself to the different parts of the evidence, and called witnesses to character. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and The COURT sentenced him to six months' imprison ment and hard labour. John Wheeler, aged 19, pleaded Guilty to the charge of stealing 701. in bank-notes, the property, and from the dwelling-house, of George Caiui Coombs, his master, a cheesemonger, at No. 50, Cowcross-street, St. Sepulchre's. It was shown that he had twice been convicted before, and he was sen tenced to ten years' transportation. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Giuseppe D'Amico, who described himself as an Italian refugee, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having created a disturbance at the re sidence of Prince Carini, the Neapolitan Ambassador, in Park-lane. The butler of his Excellency said the defendant had several times been at the residence of the Prince, and had already been relieved with money, That morning the defendant came again to the house, rid by the direction of his Excellency he was told to go away. The defendant would not leave the house, and witness was obliged to expel him forcibly. The de fendant immediately commenced knocking at the door, and made such a disturbance that witness gave him into custody. The defendant could or would speak nothing but Italian. The defendant had some letters from dis tinguished personages, amongst whom was Lord Palmerston. _ _ _ Mr. BINGLIAM, after a short conversation with the defendant, obtained a promise from him to abstain from going to the residence of the ambassador again. Mr. BINGHAM then directed the defendant to be released, upon his entering into his own recognizance in 401. to keep the peace. LAMBETH. Mr. R. Smythe, coal merchant, and proprietor of Hartley's Wharf, Horslydown, appeared before Mr. Elliott to answer the complaint of Jobn Riches, a coal dealer, in East-lane, Walwortb, for having unlawfully sold to the said complainant six sacks of .coals which did not respectively contain two hundred and twenty four pounds. Mr. Riches, sen., said be had caused the present complaint to be laid at the request of several coal dealers, and on account of two tons of coals sent to his customers being abort of weight. On the day mentioned in the summons his sou went to the wharf of the defendant, and ordered a ton of coals, and after they were loaded in the cart, he complained that they were not the legal weight, and tidied Mr. Smythe to weigh them, but he refused to do so. On bringing them home the coals were weighed, and six sacks out of the number were found to he considerably deficient. Mr. ELLIOTT inquired whether Mr. Riches, jun., who was the person who laid the complaint, and who alone was competent to prove the offence, was present. Mr. Riches, sen., replied that his son had gone into the city on business, as he did not think his presence was necessary, but he expected him to call at the court in the course of the afternoon. He had, however, in attendancr, a constable whom he had called iv, and who saw the coals weighs d. Police-constable, 316 P, said that on the day before mentioned, he was called in by Mr. Richep, and su perintended the weighing of 10 sacks of coals, which had been brought on the premises in a cart. The first and second sacks were quite right, but the third was deficient 3lbs , the fourth 71bs., the fifth 191b5., the sixth 7ibs., the seventh and eighth were right, the ninth was 91bs. deficient, and the 10th 91bs. also deficient. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said that this was an open wharf where coals were loaded from the vessel, and taken away by the purchasers m their own or hired vehicles, and therefore he could not be held accountable for any deficiency when once they left bis premises. He denied that Mr. Riches, junior, had asked him to weigh the coal at the wharf, and called one of his men, who said he weighed and de livered the coals in question. In conclusion the de fendant said that this was the first time he had had a complaint, and if Mr. Riches had represented the cir cumstances to him he should not have minded giving him a sack of coals. Mr. ELLIOTT observed that it was somewhat strange that the only person who could establish the case was absent, and dismissed the complaint. In a few minutes after the young marl made his appearance, and requested that a fresh summons might be granted, but this Mr. Elliott refused, ob serving that the proper course would have been, it any suspicion existed, to have calltd a constable and weighed the coals before they had been take❑ away. In his, Mr. Elliott's opinion, it would he a great hardship to impose a penalty or hold the defendant responsible for the weight of the coals after taking them off his premises. SOUTH IV AIUC.
