POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This MARLBOROUGH-STREET. UNWHOLESOME FRUIT.— Catherine Nolan was charged before Mr. Flowers with being drunk and wilfully causing an obstruction in Dudley-street with a basket of fruit. Police-constable Edward Marsh, 163 L, said that on the previous evening he saw the defendant with a basket of fruit in Dudley-street, and as she was drunk and was causing an obstruction, and the inhabitants complained of her, he requested her to go away. She refused, and he was in consequence obliged to take her into custody. (The defendant was selling fruit which was quite rotten to poor little children.) Barnes, the gaoler, said the fruit (plums) was in the courtyard and was in a rotten condition. The defendant asserted that when she bought the fruit it was sound. Mr. Flowers asked her what she had to say to the obstruction. The defendant said she had had a drop with her sister in-law. Mr. Flowers discharged the defendant, at the same time cautioning her not to cause an obstruction, and not to sell unsound fruit, as it was likely to bring on disease now that the cholera was about. FORGED ORDERS.—SamueI Sutton, alias Dunn, of 27, Great-street, Smith-street, Westminster, was charged be fore Mr. Flowers by Wm. Gordon, 33 0, with being con cerned with a man in custody in obtaining a quantity of wine and brandy, of the value of £l4 from Messrs.

LIVERPOOL, Monday. The West India and Pacific Steamship Com pany's steamer Mexican, Captain Miller, arrived here this morning from Port-au-Prince, &c. The most important item of news is the recom mencement of the rebellion in'llayti. It was gene rally believed that after the recent bloody but futile insurrection, and the summary measures taken to deter other r evo l utionary leaders from distur bi ng the quiet of thi s small Republic, peace would have been maintained f or some time. But the news b y the last arrival f rom that quarter shows that the rule of President Geffrard is not destined to remain undisturbed. A f ew - days previous to the departure of the Mexican from Port-au-Prince the rebellion broke out with great vigour and violence in the neighbourhood of G onaives. ,The re b e l s, a ft er de stroying everything around the town, are said to have entered it in large numbers, and sacked in- After a general pilla ge t h e revo l u ti onary par t y set fire c r v the prope r ty b o th o f friends and foes. to y l of th e pr i nc i pal b u ildi ngs, an d t h e dconflagrationis several e n a e tl r e a was not got under until one-half of the town was destroyed. Great excitement prevailed at Port-au-Prince in consequence of the report that the rebels, after sacking Gonaives, were marching in large numbers on Port-au-Prince, with the determination of re ducing it as they had done Gonaives. It was also reported that nun' n dissatisfactio n prevailed amongst the Haytian troops, and that their loyalty was not to be depended on. THAMES. STABBING A POLICE-CONSTABLE BY AN ITALIAN SEAMAN. —Geralo Lorenso, an Italian seaman, belonging to the ship Commund, was brought up on remand before Mr. Partridge, charged with feloniously stabbing William Izzard, a police constable, 133 H, in the abdomen with intent to murder or do him grievous bodily harm. The case was gone into yesterday very shortly before Mr. Paget who, in the absence of an interpreter, translated the evidence to the prisoner in Italian, and then remanded him until to-day for the purpose of obtaining the services of a regular interpreter. The facts were these :—The prisoner and other foreigners were making a disturb ance in Ratcliff-highway on Sunday night, and Izzard was endeavouring to persuade the foreign seamen to be quiet and go home, when the prisoner struck him with his fist and thrust a knife into his abdomen. The constable exclaimed, "I am stabbed," and fell. The prisoner was immediately arrested . by Enoch Sparrow, another police constable, No. 56 11, and the wounded man was carried to the Leman-street station-house, where he was attended by Mr. Phillips, divisional surgeon of police, of No. 2, Spital-square. Mr. Phillips said the wound in the abdomen was a punctured one, and might be dangerous. The patient could not attend and give evidence at present. Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoner for a week. _ . DEAF AND DRUNK.—Benjamin Castle, aged 54, was charged with being drunk and negligently driving a horse and cart in High-street, Whitechapel, to tho common danger of passengers. Chandler, a police-constable, No. 117 H, said the pri soner was intoxicated, and driving a horse and cart in a vary negligent and reckless manner at half-past 5 o'clock in the evening. The prisoner drove among three women in the road. One of them was knocked down. He picked her up and took her to the London Hospital. She was not hurt and had declined to make any charge against the prisoner. The prisoner, who is very deaf, and had the evidence bawled into his ear, said, in his defence, that a woman slipped off the foot-path under his horse and cart. She was a very low class woman, and after she left the hospi tal there ought to have been an end of the matter. The magistrate said that a female was not to be run over because she belonged to a low class. The prisoner was drunk and driving furiously, and for that offence he must pay a fine of 20s. or be imprisoned seven days. The money was paid. TiE CHARGE OF STABBING IN WHITECHAPEL.—Yester day after our messenger was despatched, and a German named Ludwig Schultze had been remanded on a charge of threatening to shoot Christopher Younge, another Ger man, and stabbing him on the head with a knife, the magistrate, Mr. Paget, was informed there were other wit nesses, and in the course of the afternoon the prisoner was twice arraigned in the dock. Other persons, Germans, wore interrogated, and their evidence was so conflicting that the magistrate could place no dependence on it. The pistol which the prisoner was said to have presented at Younge was not loaded with ball, only with powder. A knife which the prisoner gave to another prisoner was produced. It was a large common clasp knife rounded at the end, and Mr. Phillips, surgeon, of Spital-square, who examined the wound on Yonne's head, said it was trian gular in shape and could not have been inflicted with the knife produced. It penetrated to the scalp. A broken knife might have inflicted such a wound. Mr. Paget, who had directed the depositions to be taken by the second clerk, at great length gave his decision in the evening, after a prolonged investigation, and said the Ger man witnesses examined since the morning had prevari cated so much, and their testimony was so inconsistent, that he should not be justified in sending this case before a jury, and discharged the prisoner, MARKETS.---This Day.

THE OXFORD. Mr. Morton, the talented and successful manager of this establishment, ever on the look-out for novelty, has just effected an engagement with Mademoiselles Julia and Juliette Delepierre (aged respectively nine and thirteen years) the celebrated violinists who have lately made such a furore on the continent. They made their first appearance at this favourite resort on Wednesday last, and have proved by their brilliant execution of morceaux from the best masters that they are likely to become im mense favourites with the British public. Made moiselle Julia likewise plays an air de variete upon an instrument which is almost unknown ia this coun try, called a " Xylophone," and is said t o b e con structed of bois et paille. The skilful manipulation of the younger of these fair debutante draws down nightly thunders of applause. In the comic depart ment Messrs. Duriah and Davies, the eccentric niggers, seem to be more funky than ever, and have added to their repertoire a capital burlesque on sensational acrobat business. A Mr, Adams, who has been rusticating in the provinces, is now added to the staff of comique s , an d we i have no hesitation n saying that when this gentleman can obtain songs more suited to a metropolitan audience he will become a great favourite, for he appears to possess a versatility of talen t far above the average of the so styled comiques, and once or twice put us in mind of the late Sam Cowell. Selections from the operas of " Trombal cazar," "If I were King," " Trovatore," " The Slave," and " Martha," are nightly performed under the direction of Mr. Jonghmans, in which that fascinating prima donna, Miss Russell, astonishes her audience with her splendid voice, and Miss Fitz henry meets with the applause her soul- inspiring singing so justly commands. And when we find associated with these two favourites such names as Mr. St. Albyn, Mr. Dalton, Monsieur Bury, and Signor Tivoli, we need scarcely say the l overs of music may always pass a pleasant evening at th e Oxford, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE —This Day.

IKPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.—LAST EVENING. The house met to-day at 4 o'clock. ROYAL COMMISSION. The Royal assent was given by commission to the fol lowing bills :—Crown Lands, Glebe Lands (Scotland) British Columbia, Land Tax Commissioners' Names, Mili tia Pay, Drainage and Improvement of Lands Act ( rre land) Provisional Order, New South Wales and Van Die men's Land Government, New Forest, Poor Relief, Courts of Justice, Inland Revenue, Colonial Branch Mints, Public Works, Harbours, &c. ; Public Work; Loans (Ireland), Carriage and Deposit of Dangerous Goods, National Gal ley Enlargement, Pensions, Pier and Harbour Orders Confirmation, Parochial Buildings (Scotland) Act Amend ment, Fees to Public Departments, Parishes (Scot land) Act, 1814, Amendment, Rochdale Vicarage, County Assessment; Ecclesiastical Leases (Isle of Mau), Standard of Weights, Measures, and Coinage, Dean Forest (Walmer and the Bearce Commons) ; Attorneys and Solicitors (Ireland, 1866, Local Government Supple mental (No. 2), Land Drainage (No. 2), Oyster Bed Licenses (Ireland), Oyster and Mussel Fisheries, Thames Navigation, Foreign Jurisd;ction Act Amend ment, East London Eastern Extension Railway, Midland Railway (Ashby and Nuneaton, &c.), Eldham Valley Rail way, Halosowe and I3romsgrove Branch Rallway, South-Eastern and London, Chatham, and Dover (London, Lewes, and Brighton), Thames Purifica tion, Anglesea, Central Railway, Bray and Enniskerry Railway, Manchester Patty Sessiong Court. About 30 other private bills als' received the Royal Assent. The Commissioners wore the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Malmesbary, and the Earl of Bradford. Their lordships adjourned during pleasure, and resumed at 5 o'clock. DWELLINGS OF THE WORKING CLASSES. In reply to the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, The Earl of DERBY said that he had not yet received information in ref'rence to the disposal of a sum of money se:; apart from har Majes4's Treasury for the improve ment of the dwellings of the working classes. The Public Health Bill was read a second time, and the standing orders having been suspended, it passed through its subsequent stages. The order for going into committee on the Paupers (Scotland) Bill was discharged. The report of the amendments to the Court of Session (Scotland) Bill was brought up and agreed to. The Turnpike Trusts Arrangement Bill, the Poor Law Amendment Bill,, and the Aberdeen Provisional Order Conanuation Bill passed through committee. The Overseer of the Poor Small Parishes Bill was read a second time. The Inc]osure (No. 2) Bill, the Public Libraries Act Amendment Bill, the Turnpike Act Continuance Bill, and the Local Government Supplemental Bill went through committee. Some other bills also passed through committee, and others were advanced a stage. HABEAS CORPUS SUSPENSION (IRELAND) ACT CONTINUANCE BILL. The Earl of DERBY, in moving the cecond reading of this bill, expressed his regret that the condition of the island was not such as to justify the Government in allow ing the present measure to expire. He eulogised the man ner in which the powers of the law had been put in force and administered by Lord Kimberley, the late Lord-Lieute nant, and expressed a hope that on the re-assembling of Parliament, next y.ar, matters would be so much improved that he should be able to advise a return to the ordinary course of procedure. • The Earl of KIMBERLEY declared that if he had re mained in office he should have recommended the adoption of this Continuance Bill by Parliament. No one except those intimately acquainted with the facts could be aware how formidable the Fenian conspiracy had been. Sines 1798 there had not existed so dangerous a condition of the publie mind as in the past year. The persons who had been the promoters of the seheme had not been the poorer and more ignorant classes, but the class which was best described as artisans and small tradesmen ; whilst in the south-west of Ireland, if a rebellion had broken out, there was no doubt the farmers also would have been ready to take part in it. Adverting to the alleged grievances of the Irish people, the noble lord observed that the question of land tenure was one which must shortly occupy the ear nest attention of Parliament, and that the anomaly of an Established Church must also be considered, although he seemed to regard the former as entiiled to precedence of the latter. He believed that the Land Tenure Bill of the late Government was well suit3d to the occasion. Still he would be ready to support any other that was equally cal culated to effect the same object, and that might be intro duced by the present Government. The bill was then read a second time. Several other measures were forwarded a stage, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Col. LINDSAY took the oaths and his seat for Abingdon. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were considered and agreed to : Bramptoa and Langtown Railway, Caledonian and Scot tish North Eastern Railway Companies, Cheshire Lines, Imperial Gas Company (No. 3), Maidstone and Ashford Railway, Newport Pagnell (Tay Bridge) Railway, Vale of Neath Railway (Transfer, &c.), Wrexham, Mold, and Connah's Quay-Railway; Wrexham, Mold, and Con nah's Quay Railway (Extensions). THIRD READINGS. ThA following bi'ls were read a third time and passed —Lady Slaney's (Trust) Estate, Lloyd's Estates (Parti tion), Sligo and Ballaghaderreen Junction Railway. LIMITED LIABILITY ACT. Mr. WATKINS gave notice that early next session he should move for a committee to inquire into the operations o the Limited Liability Act. LAMBETH WORKHOUSE. Mr. OLIPHANT asked the President of the Poor-law Board whether the statement of Mr. Day, Master of the Lambeth Workhouse, in explanation of charges of gross misconduct preferred against him and Mrs. Day by Thomas Bl.wley on the 6th of Apia, 1865, was considered satisfac tory ; and, if not, whether it was the intention of the Poor law Bo: rd to institute an official inquiry into the conduct of the master and matron of that establishment ? Mr. G. HARDY said an inquiry had been instituted by the guardians, and they had reprimanded the waster, and a report to that effect had been furnished to the Poor-law Board. The matter had now been at rest for nearly 12 mouths, and he considered it too late to re-open an in quiry which had occurred 12 months before he had taken aloe. INDIAN OFFICERS. Major JERVIS asked the Secretary of State for India whether any, and, if so, what steps had been determined on with a view of finally remedy:ng the grivances under which the oißcer3 of the local army of India had so long laboured ? Viscount CRANBORNE said it was proposed to offer some remedy, but it was extremely difficult to explain what that remedy was, without transgressing the bounds given in answel:ng questions. In brief, one of the remedies was to allow all officers belonging to the Indian army before the amalgamation to join the staff corps without going through any kind of examination; and with respect to tho bonus system, it was proposed to appoint a com mittee in each Presidency to inquire into the amount paid by each officer as he retired, and to ascertain the pay ments he had made, which payments would be returned by the Government to officers, but without interest. THE ENGLISH JUDGES. Mr. GRAVES asked the Attorney-General whether it was the intention of the Government to take into consi deration .the necessity for increasing the number of Judges, and the re-arrangement of the jurisdiction of the. Cour,s. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the subject was one of extreme difficulty, but he was authorised by :he Lord Chancellor to state that dwing the recess his most anxi ous attention would be given to the state of judicial business, with a view devising some remedy for the more speedy disposal of business. THE CHOLERA. Mr. J. A. SMITH asked the President of the Poor-law Board whether, viewing the extensive outburst of cholera in the e?..stern districts of the metropolis, the Government were prepared to allow Parliament to separate without providing the means of summary interference in cases where the vestries may neglect the enforcement of sanitary precautions, or may omit or delay the neces sary arrangements for the care of the sick, and the sepa ration of the healthy from the dying and the dead? The hon. member took the opportunity of stating to the house the miserable position of matters in Bethnal-green and Poplar at the present time with respect to the dead and dying of cholera. In many houses bodies were lying without any means being at hand for their speedy burial, and in the latter place there were opan cesspools and other extremely dangerous matters iu existence without there being any stringent power to deal with such matters. lie hoped the Government would take some active steps to alter such an alarming state of things. Mr. AYRTON condemned the way in which the poor were treated in the metropolis. At the opening of the session great efforts were made to arrest the disease in cattle by levying a rate, but that was not the course adopted when human beings were being struck down by cholera. He thought it of the utmost importance that the rich should be at once called upon to come forward and alle viate the condition of the poor. Mr. HARDY said the guardians had no power to deal with the public health, that power was with the vestries, which were not under the poor-law board. He believed the vestries were making great efforts to deal with the matter, and he believed their hands would be greatly strengthened by the Public Health Act, which would re ceive the assent of Parliament to-morrow. During the recess he should devote his anxious attention to the sub ject, with a view to alleviate the distress which prevailed in different parts of the metropolis. Ur. JIENLEX thought thoro was otill tituo to 'Jag a short act to remedy any defect which might be found to exist. Mr. NEATE said he had suggested long ago the pro priety of the Government bringing in a bill to enable . them to make advances for sanitary purposes. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did not think it at all wise to hastily introduce a measure alter ing the law upon which their whole local administration was founded. The subject then dropped. THE BANK ACT. In reply to Mr. Alderman SALOMONS, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said they had no power to infringe the law, but if a representation was made to the Government with respect to the letter ad dressed by the Government to the Bank of England some time ago, that representation would be most carefully con sidered and an answer would be returned. He thought that a far more convenient and proper course than stating off hand in reply to a question the views of the Govern ment on the matter. INDEMNITY BILL. This bill was road a second time, and the standing orders being suspended it was passed through its remain ing stages. NEW MEMBER. On the motion of Col. TAYLOR, a new writ was ordered to issue for Carmuthenshire, in the room of Col. Pennant, now Lord Penrhyn, called to the House of Lords. EXTRADITION TREATIES ACT AMENDMENT Past and Prospective Importations into Americs (From the New York Co mmerc i a l Chronicle.) The total imports at this port, f or th e f i scal year just closed, reach the very extraordinary figure of $301,000,000. It would, perhaps, be rash to pro nounce this an extravagant importation, all things being considered. The close of the war found us with a general scarcity of goods. Domestic pro duction and importation had both been regulated with a conservative regard to supplying the wants of the Northern markets only. The South, which, had been shut out from regular supplies of ma.- chandise for four years, had to be supplied chiefly from this market. With nearly two and a-half millions of bales of cotton, worth, on an average, forty cents per pound, the people of that ,section, had adequate means of supplying their large wani,s. In this extraordinary condition of supply and de mand there was surely a basis for an unusually large importation, alike for the business of last Fall and the season just closed; perhaps it would be more just to credit the importers with sagacity than to charge them with recklessness in making such ample provision. At the present juncture the question presents it self—Are the importations of last year to be re garded as the measure of those for the year on whir, h we have entered ? For very obvious reasons w e think not. There is no longer any extreme pressure upon the South to purchase goods; and having supplied their more urgent necessities, they win., perhaps, during the next season, show a dispo , 4_ tion to economise consumption, so as to pro:fide themselves with the means of producing or trendin g . It is, in fact, only through the most rigid economy, for a series of years, that the South can recover from the injuries it has sustained by the war. It would, therefore, be unreaspnable to expect 'chat the Same amount of goods will be sold to the south during this year as last. Nor does there appear to be any reason for supposing that the Fall trade, at least, there will be any large demand for foreign goods for the Northern market. Since the close of the war there has been a heavy decline in the value of many commodities, which has limited the profits of some, and involved not a few in actual loss. To the majority of traders their balance -sheet for July Ist, 1866, affords little satisfaction ; and this lack of commercial prosperity is quite likely to be suc ceeded by a contraction of expenditures among the trading classes. At the same time the burthens of taxation are felt with greater severity, as the internal revenue laws are enforced•more completely, which again becomes an incentive to economy of consump tion. Nor is it to be overlooked that domestic manufac turers are. now in a position to turn out a larger amount of products than a year ago, owing to labour and capital having returned to their wonted chan nels ; and, as the result, the markets are better sup plied, and goods are slightly accumulating. It is reasonable to suppose that importers will take into consideration these facts connected with the demand, the condition of the markets, and the production of domestic goods. On the other hand, the panic at London, and the outbreak of war in Europe, have raised peculiar difficulties in the way of importing. Just at the time when the importers were arranging their orders for the Fall importation the money markets of Eng land and the Continent were convulsed by panic ; and notwithstanding the assuring effect produced by our large shipments of specie, a large amount of American commercial credits on Europe become un available, and orders consequently have been cur tailed. English merchants, owing to the loss of the Continental trade, will probably be found willin g to credit our importers to any extent they may desire; but the latest private advices from London bankers indicate that Americans are ordering with much moderation. The German markets are, to a large extent, closed to us by the operations of war. Military movements appear likely to centre in the heart of the industrial States. Large numbers of operatives have been drawn into the army, and manufacturing operations are very extensively in terrupted. More than this, the transportation routes are partially closed, and foreign credits are still de ranged. Under these circumstances, there can be but little regular importation from Germany. It is supposable, however, that should it, at a later period, prove possible to move merchandise from the interior to the ports, the manufacturers may consign to this market any surplus of goods they may have on hand. At present the markets of France are wholly open to us, and are likely to remain so. There will doubtless be a disposition among importers to par tially make up, in the French markets, the defi ciencies of their purchases in Germany. But here, again, comes in the question of credits. It is now very generally anticipated that France will ere long become a participant in the war ; and under this prospect Paris bankers are becoming very conser vative in the matter of foreign commercial credits. They are anxious to keep their capital within ready control, and prefer employing it in handling secu rities during the large fluctuations iin their value which naturally occur pending a period of war. The largest of European capitalists has almost entirely suspended his credits to the American trade from this motive ; and it is reasonable to suppose that others will take a similar course. Again, it is not improbable that the losses upon much of the Spring importation will induce impor ters to operate with caution for the Fall trade. The comparatively high prices of gold, and the apparent possibility that the premium may fluctuate vio lently under the derangement of our foreign, corn. mercial, and financial relations may be expected also to deter some from importing as fully as they other• wise would. The foregoing considerations would appear to point very directly to the probability of a material reduction of our importations as compared with those of the past fiscal year. On the other hand, it would seem by no means improbable that we may have very large receipts of merchandise from Great Britain. The effects of the panic are likely to pro duce dulness in the home trade ; while the serious interruption of her large trade with the Continent will induce strenuous efforts to find a market for her surplus in the United States ; So that it is pos sible we may have unusually large consignments of British merchandise. We leav e the reader to form his own conclusions from these diversified forecastings. yßeaartseller, Hawes, Mr. Hatcher and Mr. H h a a w ye es c , o w ni h m o en h c a e v a e bbueseinneisns ge have ap pointed service of M es srs.

THE ACCIDENT TO A LIVERPOOL MERCHANT. Mr. J. H. Franks, corn merchant, of Liverpool, who was run over by an engine whilst crossing the lino at Bir mingham, on Thursday, died on Sunday morning. The deceased was conscious up to within a short time of his death. His hand was amputated on the night of the accident, but from the nature of the injuries it was not thought advisable to amputate his legs.

GOLDSMID moved an additional clause to the effect that nothing in the bill should be taken to autho rise the extradition of persons for political offences. Llrd STANLEY objected to the clause, pointing out that it would exempt from extradition cases of political assassination, like Orsini's crime, or the recent shooting of a Fenian informer, and expressin g a doubt whether any clause could be so worded as to be free from a similar ob jection. Byway of showing th at the present law gave ample securities against the extradition of political offen ders, he maintained that offences incident to political corn motions could not be included under the designation of ,‘ murder, or attempt to murder," and that the Secretary of State, if a political offender were demanded, would have the option of not putting the law into effect ; and, with regard to the latter part of the clause, he said it was not the practice of the French Executive to arrest a man for one offence and try him for another, and that if Buell a deceit were practised it would lead to to an immediate de termination of the treaty. He reminded that during the last 23 years no political offender had loon demanded, and urged the unfairness of altering the bargain without com munication with the other parties, and the futility of trying to bind a foreign Government which might wish to act dishonestly by a guarantee. After some discussion, Lord Stanley consented to limit the duration of the bill to one year ; and a clause to tha effect, proposed by Mr. Kinglake, was inserted in the bill Sir F. Goldsmld withdrew his clause, and a clause proposed by Mr. M‘C. Torrens, providing that the whole of the de positions shall be laid before the committing magistrate, was negatived without a division. The bill was then read a third time and passed. Mr. WA TKIN withdrew his motion for a commission to inquire into the Banking and Currency Laws, and the house adjourned at five minutes to eight o'clock. _ A Great Jewel Swindle. PARIS, Monday. All Paris is talking about a story which resembles a good deal that of " The Queen's necklace." In the month of February last a jeweller in Paris, M. Cramer, received a letter sealed with the Prussian arms, and signed " Comte de Schaffgotsch," Cham berlain of his Majesty the King of Prussia, in which he was asked if he wished to undertake the execution of some models, in brilliants, of an order which the Queen intended to create. The jeweller immediately accepted, and some days a:terwards there arrived some drawings executed by the Queen herself. The jeweller set to work forth with, and in a few weeks afterwards he transmitted to Berlin a magnificent cross, surrounded with diamonds. He received congratulations, and an order for a dozen wore diamond crosses, with a further promise of an order for the crown of the Prince. of Hohen zollern as Sovereign of the Danubian Principalities. The jeweller was the happiest of men. His fortune was evidently made. But when and how was he to forward the crosses ? The Count replied that he was just then charged with a diplomatic mission, and that on a day named he would be at Cologne, and would receive the decorations at a banker's in that town. The jeweller sends the crosses to the house of Oppenheim, informing them that they were to be delivered to the Chamberlain of the Queen of Prussia. Some days afterwards the count informed by letter the intermediate agents that he would pass through the town at a certain hour, and begged them to forward to him the jeweller's parcel through a clerk. No sooner said than done. The Queen of Prussia was delighted, and her chamberlain gives to the jeweller another order for crosses, to be also set in diamonds. But there was nothing said as to payment, and the jeweller, uneasy in mind, did at last what he should have done at first. He called upon the Prussian ambassador at Paris, who informed him that he had been dealing with a knave, and that the letters were all forged. The jeweller, in consternation, sets out for Baden under the advice of the ambassador, sees the Queen, and is assured by her that she is an entire stranger to the whole story of the crosses. On his return to Paris the jeweller receives another letter from the pretended count, who in sinuates this time that he might himself be decorated with the order of the Red Eagle. Now, however, the jeweller was on his guard. The police were communicated with, and they ma nagel to draw the fox into the trap. He is, it appears, a man of good family, whom passion for gambling has ruined ; he is the son of an old general, and holds himself rank and title at the Court of Prussia, &c. The police have seized, at the hotel where he put up in Paris, all the jewel ler's letters, some diamonds detached from the crosses, with several visiting cards, having the name of the Count of Schaffgotsch on them, together with a blank stamp bearing the arms of the Queen of Prussia, &c. This very curious affair will soon be unravelled before the tribunals. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. The market opens quiet, and prices are fully I below Friday's sales. Sales probably 7,000 bales. THE OLD NAME.—We may congratulate our selves that our national name is to remain what it has been since 1789 a short time longer. A proposition made in Congress some time ago to abolish the title " United States of America" and substitute "America," has, after patient deliberation, and for aught we know, learned dis cussion, before a committee of Congress, been defeated by the action of that committee. The members of that body have decided that there is no good reason for making a change which the people have not asked for, and we remain the " United States" still. We know that it is urgod that there are other "United States " besides ours, as, for instance, the "United States of Mexico," the "United States of Colombia,' &c., &c. But, throughout the world our country is known as the "United States," whilst the others are called "Mexico," "Colombia," &c. In In addition, we have no right to monopolise the name " America," which belongs to the Western hemisphere, embsral,htere, and is as much the property of nations in North, and South America as our own.
