The Prince President has granted full amnesty to all desexiters lion: the merchant navy. The Prince Pt 2iident of the Republic gave a second dinner on Saturday at the Elysee. The number of persons invited amounted to .50, and consisted chiefly of senators and oeputies. From the fact of DI. de Morny being seated at the left-hand of the President it Is shrewdly surmised that he is about to re-enter the Cabinet, and resume his post as Minister of the Interior. In the course of the evening there Was 8 reception, and among the earlier arrivals were AIM. Rouher and Fould. This is the second dinner that had been given at the Elysee in the week. The individual named Richer, who belonged to one of the secret societies established by the Social ists of Valence, and who had been sentenced to depth by court-martial for parricide , was guillotined ar, Valence on the 13th inst. Previous to his execu tion he is reported to have said to the Attorney prison, general, who visited him in" When I com mitted the crime for which I was so justly con demned I was so completely- infatuated by political passion that I was a mere instrum en t i n the bands of the secret societies ; but my crime was not the less, and it is necessary that. I should die to expiate it, and to serve as an e x ample to those w h o , lik e me , suffer themselves to be led astray." On arriving at 2e scaffold be made an act o f contrition, and the execu ti o ners performed their office. R MAN Y The correspondence between the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin on the representation of Austria in the Congress of the Zollverein, and the contempo rary discussion of a commerehl alliance between Austria and that body, has been terminated. Prussia peretists in its refusal to entertain the propositions, and Austria thinks it useless to continue the negotiation. The following note from the President of the Austrian iabinet is published by the Aligemeine Zeitung, and in reference to this question is decisive : " Count Von Arnim has communicated to me a note containing a reply to the representation which your Excellency made to the Prussian Government in consequence of your instructions of the 7th of May. A G-opy of the document is enclosed. We have received this reply of the Prussian Government with regret, as we perceive from it that the interchange of notes between the two Cabinets, notwithstanding the necessity and importance of an understanding was recognised on both sides, has not brought us nearer to that result. The cause cf the non-success of our sincere endeavours is probably only to be found in the fact, that the Prussian Government considers it an in ternal necessity to adhere unchangeably- towhat it term s the position it bus assumed.' ° According to its own mplanation, however. the adherence to this position does not exclude the decision to enter into n;:gotiationa .with Aus,tria, but only after the extension and re-esta blishment of the Zollverein shall have been completed. United in the principle of the necessity of a fusion of the material interests of Austria and the rest of Germany, the difference of opinions between the two Cabinets is limited to the. question of the point of time when the negotistons for the alliance recognised as desirable should begin. We believe we have sufficiently proved that the important task imposed on the two great Powers of Germany, the effecting this union, will be impossible if the Zollverein discwises its own recon stitution, and proceeds to a, decision without reference to the proposals of Austria, and without giving the Im perial Cabinet even the opportunity of represent. irg them in the discussions to be held. But we have not succeeded in procuring the atten tion of the Prussian Cabinet to our views, which ar shared by many members of the German Bund. And as 4russia has not shown itself disposed to enter on the course recommended by us on such excellent grounds, not even by way of experiment, and we have nothing more to advance in favour of those grounds ; the con tinuation of the written correspondence on this subject will plobabiy be fruitless, and we will therefore leave it to experience to prove which of the two courses is most natural and adapted to circumstances, and most likely to lead to the desired result, as being based on an inter nal necessity. Your Excellency will forward a copy of this communication to tne President of the Ministry. (S;gn " B uoL." ITALY. The Corriore Mercantile of Genoa having in a late number indulged in some severe strictures upon M. TRIERS, the new Orleanist paper, 11 Mediterraneo, takes up his defence, and, after remarking that the Intendant-General of the province of Genoa was among the first the other day to inscribe his name as a visitor at the hotel where M. TIIIEES stopped, it states, as a proof of his friendly feeling towards Pied mont, that the following were his words at parting from the chief editor of the Mediterraneo, on the 13th : " is with the sincerest satisfaction I have seen this active and commercial city—this Piedmontese army, so well disciplined, and having so martial an appearance. It would be a great misfortune were such a state of things not to last; and, since you are come over here to publish a. paper, I earnestly recommend you to preach union. Let there be no divisions here, in the name of Heaven, for division would be death." The Corriere Mercantile states that M. THUM is at present writing a history of Florence, and that, during his stay at Rome, he had sixty statues of the Vatican photographed by M. CANOVA. The Neapolitan Ambassador has opened negotia tions with the Austrian Mini2ter for Trade and Com merce for Leconsiderable extension of the treaty of commerce and ne.vigation concluded between Austria and Naples in 1846, by which very considerable ad v4nt''•ges will be extended to Austrian commerce.

POOR-LAW BOARD CONTINUANCE BILL. This Bill was read a third time. On the question that the Bill do pass, Sir DE LACY EVANS moved the insertion of the following proviso —Provided always, that nothing in this Act, or in any other Act, shall be deemed or taken to authorise the said Commissioners to continue in any Way to enforce, or to issue, any order by them hereto fore made, or hereafter to be made, whereby they may have determined, or may determine, or assume to deter mine, the continuance in office or dismissal of any officers appointed, or to be appointed, under the provisions of any local Act for the regulation, or the government, or the appointment of the officers of any parish. The Hon. and Gallant Officer objected to the passing of the Bill altogether, and insisted that it was not one of those indispensably necessary measures which ought to have been brought in this session. He might be told that it was only a continuance Bill, but although it was so he objected to it because it continued the existing law for two instead of one year. It concerned the distribution of upwards of 6.000,0001, of revenue, and it was the duty of the House not to allow so important a measure to be disposed of in a moribund Parliament. The great question, however, involved in this Bill was the appointment of the officers. For more than a century the rate-payers had the power of appointing their own officers on Easter-day; but in many instances the Poor law Board had prohibited the exercise of that privilege, and the consequence had been that several public de monstrations had been made against the board. Many of the local vestries and poor-law boards had performed their duties so effectually that in some cases they re duced the taxation of the parish by nearly a half, and for the sake of principle and economy he contended that these local bodies ought not to be interfered with in their useful and praiseworthy operations. The Poor-law Board had laid it down as a rule that the parish officers could not be removed without the sanction of the board, and the effect of that rule had been, and would continue to be, to improve the efficiency of the vestries and the guardians. This was another of these attempts at a centralization of power whickall Governments appeared anxious to accomplish, and he prayed the House to hesi tate before it passed this Bill without the proviso which he had proposed. The clause was then breugh:`, up and read a first time. On the question that the clause be read a second time, Sir J. TROLLOPE opposed it, as being peculiarly inconvenient at this moment, rind wholly uncalled fer. He maintained that the present was the proper time for passing this renewal Bill. which contained no power or administrative clauses at all, while if the Hon. and Gal lant Gentleman objected to the existing Poor-law Board he could renew his opposition iu the next Parliament, slahuoguh.)ldhe be so fortunate as to obtain a sea t i n i t . —(A The Hon. and Gallant Member, besides others, had stated that the Poor-law Board cost the country 250,0001., but the fact was it did not cost more than 33,604/. The Noble Lord the Member for Marylebone, at one of his recent electioneering meetings, accused him of having represented the Marylebone and St. Pancras vestries as composed of illiterate tradesmen; but he begged to tell the Noble Lord and the House that since he had bean in office he had made no such imputation, nor had his intercourse with the gentlemen who formed these vestries produced such an impression in his mind. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the observation of the Hon. and Gallant Member, that parish officers ought to be elected annually, he begged to state that he enter tained a very different opinion, and was equally opposed to the proposition of the Hon. and Gallant Member to place the dismissal of those officers at the caprice of the vestries.—(Hear, hear.) Lord DUDLEY STUART was prepared to support the proviso, because he wa s f avoura bl e to t h e pr i nc i p l e of local self-government. He differed with the Right Hon. Gentleman the President of the Poor-law Board, in supposing that the vestries ought not to be entrusted with the absolute appointment and dismissal of the parish officers. The dictates of common sense told them, that for the sake of securing subordination, the vestries should have the same power of dismissing that they had of appointing their officers, and he for ene thought that the withholding, or the prohibition of any such power, on the part of the Poor-law Board, would be contrary to law.—(Hear, hear.) He disclaimed all intention of reflecting upon the Right Honour able Gentleman personally when he addressed his constituents the other day, but at the same time he declined to withdraw any of , the statements that he made then. The Poor-law Board had cast unfounded imputations upon the Marylebone and St. Pancras vestries, and he was authorised to state that most of the statements which the Board had put forth against either vestry were wholly devoid of truth. Years ago these vestries might have mismanaged their affair, but they must be judged by their present and not by their past conduct. Hew, for instance, would the Government like to be estimated according to the principles which they professed a short time back? Why, they were only t )lcrated because they had given up protection, which stunk in the nostrils of the people, end he was sure the Noble Lord at the head of the Administration would prefer being tried by the present rather than the past. The charge that the Marylebone vestry was composed of iditerate tradesmen was too ridiculous to require refuta tion, while, as to the other imputation which the Right Hon. Baronet had thrown out, that the vestry was more occupied with the wrongs of Poland and Hungary than their own affairs, he was ready to give it a flat contradiction. Now, with regard to this unnecessary Bill, he believed Government had brought it forward for private reasons, and he could not allow it to pass quietly into a law. No reason had been given why the law, as it now stood, should be continued for two years, except that it would save the interest of the Go vernment--all the other continuance Bills were limited to twelve months, and he could sec no just cause why this Bill should be made an exception to the rule. Sir EMERSON TENNENT did not intend to follow the Noble Lord through his very discursive speech, but it was necessary that ho should remind the House that the Noble Lord had totally misconceived the reason which had induced the Government to prepare this Bill. The object of the proviso under discussion was identi cally the same as that of the clause which the Noble Lord the Member for Marylebone proposed when the Bill was in Committee, and which the Committee re jected. The power which the clause proposed to abolish had been exercised by the Poor-law Board for a period of upwards of 18 years, and if the clause was carried it would affect 380 parishes. New such an important change in the law ought not to be made at this period of the session, and he therefore called upon the House to reject it, Mr. HUME was sorry so much time had been taken up with the discussion. The question which the House had to decide was simply whether the poor-law should be allowed to work well in the metropolis? That end could not be attained, in his opinion, without the same parties who had the power of appointing the parish officers had also the power of dismissing them, arid as this provision recognised that principle he should cer tainly give it his hearty support. Sir G. PECHELL was fully sensible of the necessity of shortening their proceedings, but really, if Govern ment was also anxious to bring the session to an end, they would take care tbat no two of its members were allowed to make long speeches upon a topic of this cha restrict the ructer. Now the President of the Poor-law Board had told the House that it was only the metropolis that ptitotni Petitions s.. re quired this change in the law, but he, for one, know fi e e e t d te lv r; tt a h nd h if it had not been . that the country was satis t e determination of its representatives to power of the Poor-law Board as much as P 'Beible, there would have been an unlimited number of presented in favour of the proviso.

The clause, with a proviso, was then agreed to. On clause 2, (LEFT SPEAKING.) Mr. FITZROY moved a proviso that the proprietors of existing burial-grounds should have one year al lowed them for providing a new ground after the issue of the closing order. Lord EBRINGTON said this amendment only showed the necessity for delaying the whole question until the next Parliament. Lord JOHN MANNERS had no objection to the proviso. Lord EBRINGTON asked if they were to understand that no order could be made for closing a burial-ground for one year, however horrible the scenes might be that were committed on the ground? Mr. FITZROY said the order might be made at any time, but it could not be enforced until the expiration of the year after it had been issued. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said the Bill was not worth having if a year was to expire before the order could be enforced. The CHAIRMAN was then directed to report pro gress, and, the House having resumed, he did so accord ingly, and obtained leave to sit again to-morrow at twelve o'clock. METROPOLITAN SEWERS BILL. On the motion that the Bill should be considered as amended, Lord EBRINGTON asked what necessity there was for hurrying this Bill through?

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord CAMPBELL and a Special Jury.) ACHILLI V. NEWMAN. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition). Dr. Grotti examined by Mr. ADDISON—I:am now a priest, at Broadway, in W orcestershire. I was a student at the Lyceum College, at that town, whern I was 11 years of age. Dr. Achilli was the Professor of Phi losophy at that time. His moral character was very bad, and he had a bad reputation. There is a Bishop's Court at Viterbo, over which the Vicar-General presides. Achilli left Viterbo suddenly. :Ho escaped; he was not to ba found there any more. Crese-examined by the SOLICITOR - GENERAL—I have never seen Achilli since. It was in the beginning of . last December that I received the suletcena to attend hero. It was a friend of mine, Mr. Flanigan, who br )ught it to me. Since:that time I have been abroad getting, information on the subject of the trial. I re member seeing. a:person named Rosa di Alessandria at Roma and at Viter bo. I neither gave nor offered her money, nor any person whatever. I saw a great man) persons upon tnis business, but I did not induce any person to come over here as witnesses. I put myself in communication on arriving at Viterbo with the Vicar-General, Casa Nuovo by name, and a priest, Zerbini; and as soon as it was known on what business I was come about numbers of people came to me to give me information on the subject. I was em ployed to go there by Dr. Newman. I believe I was the only person sent. I was at Viterbo fifteen days. was at Rome seven or eight days in going and return ing from Viterbo. I saw three persons there who are all here as witnesses. I•also saw Guistini at Rome. Re-examined by Mr. BRAMWELL—WhiIe at Viterbo I saw Rosa di Allessandria, and tried to persuade her to come to England, but she wa s una bl e , being in the family way. Sophia Maria Giovanna Principe, examined by Mr. BADDELEY, through the interpret e r—I am a married woman, living at Naples. My, husb a nd's name is Ba lisano. My age is, I think, about 28. I knew Dr. Achilli before I was married; I was then about thirteen or fourteen years of age. I was in the habit of fre quenting the church of San Pietro the Martyr, at Na ples. It was in the sacristy of that church that I first became acquainted with Dr. Achilli, who was then sub prior of the church. Dr.Achilli was generally there alone. I had to pay a small sum to him for some purpose. One day I went: there when Dr. Achilli was alone; he shut the door, and taking me in his arms, embraced me tightly, threw me upon a kind of sofa, and there dis honoured me. I resisted and tried to get away. I was then a virgin. I became pregnant, and had a child in consequence. Before I was confined my father and mother went to Dr. Achilli to remonstrate with him, and at the time I remonstrated with him, and told him that it was a great harm; he said there was no harm in it, it was rather a good than an evil. The only thing he ever gave me was a bit of sweetmeat from time to time. It caused a great deal of grief in my family; my father died of an illness which was caused by his grief. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I left Naples on the 16th of January last, accompanied as far as Rome by my mother. I was induced to come by a Dominican father named Sauli. My case was well known at Naples. There was a trial about it probably twelve or thirteen years ago. The friar came to me and asked me if it were all true. A father of the order of St. Philip paid the expenses of the journey. I have been two months in England, for I stayed some time at Paris. I there met Signora Gentilli, and we have been together all the time since. I had seen Achilli some two or three months before the affair took place. He was always alone, that is to say, there were uo other Dominican monks. The church was open every day. The door of the sacristy was open. I went there to put my name down, and there were other persons too who went. It was about November or December that this happened. I passed through the church to the sacristy; there were a number or other persons there. When I went in Achilli got up and locked the door, and he told me not to make a noise "or shame would grow out of it." I felt afraid and wanted to go out, but he told me that there would be no harm in it, rather good than evil. I did not cry out, but I struggled; I did not lose my consciousness, though Idid not know so much about it as I do now. Ile did not put his hand over my mouth. I was too weakened by fear to cry, besides I knew there were two rooms between me and tiae people, and it was no use crying. I did nut go out for a quarter of an hour because Dr. Achilli said "I was very red, and it was no use going out though the Church ;" so I went out by a side-door, which was used by the monks Dr. Achilli showed me the way out, looking first to see if there were any persons about. I did not toll my mother that Iwa pregnant, and when they complained to Dr. Achilli denied all knowledge of it The child was born in October. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1852. WONDERFUL IF TRUE! _ - - The following extraordinary story appears in a late number of the .New York Tribune : A great deal of excitement has recently been created in the higher classes of the Austrian capital. by the re markable and romantic developments of numerous heavy robberies, which for years past have been committed in and near the metropolis, by one or more malefactors, whose whereabout it was impossible to trace out. In order to give a through insight into the matter we must begin at a period when the existence of this gang was proved by their actions. Towards the close of October, 1848, during a fine and clear autumnal evening, the travelling carriage of Mr. Edward C. Brooks, a wealthy merchant of Lon don, who then was on his way back to Vienne, from a long tour in Upper Italy and the Lombardia pro vinces, was stopped within three miles of Vienna, in the most populous part of the country. One man only presented himself at the coach window, and courte ously, but firmly, demanded the surrender of what ever valuables the inmates of the conveyance possessed. With Mr. Brooks there were two ladies, his wife and her younger sister, the latter of whom had already drawn her purse, and was in the act of handing it to the highway man, when her extended arm was fractured by a pistol shot from Mr. Brooks, who, having perceived the movement of his sister-in-law, had from the back of the carriage quietly taken aim at the robber, with a view of answering the im prudent demand. A scene of terrific confusion then en sued. The report of the pistol brought, besides the two men who guarded the coachman and horses, three more individuals to the support of the highwayman; the traces were cut in an instant, the coachman was lashed to his seat, and the highwaymen prepared to avenge the the ground. The wh o lay appa ren tly i nan i ma t e on caleche were torn op en , b u t th e spectacle doors o which leader, theread thee r , presented itself was such as to ma ke the robbers pause before they launched out upon the mission of revenge. Miss Perry, the lay in the arms of her sister, whose speechless agony proved the horror which she felt at the occurrence. Mr. Brooks still ignorant that it was h e who inflicted the injury, had nevertheless aban doned all ideas of resistance, and was vainly endeavour ing to stanch e tee blood, which flowed in torrents from the h g looked wound. For some minutes the wounded lady, highwaymen upon this mournful scene, until a Jew moan their leader rem i n d e d t h em o f t h e necessity of from ivin g him that attention which bis suflice , l to provealPtorily ca ll e d f or . A f ew m i nutes wounded; the bullet, after fracturing the slender arm chief o f Miss Perry, had spent itself against his chest, causing what the (krt ilatil call a Prellschuss, and though it did conditionn 0 t penetrate P e fleshrtehSthat he was not dangerously had still force enough to break a b on e or two, t. ithoti . t any other outward sign than a s mallblack sp stru ck. Th e soon on the place were the leaden messenger n recovered and was able to ride off, while be had left his followers in charge of the car riage, giving strict orders, however, not to plunder the Englishman and his family, but to give them every as sistance to enable them to reach Vienna as early as possible, that the young lady might obtain medical a id. The orders were executed to the letter; Mr. Brooks saw his availanta, who ex hibi ted the most respectful bearing horses put to the carriage by his l a t e whim, and seeme d rat h er to w i s h h i m goo d than e vil. So mu c h , indeed, was he taken by the conduct of the a great value to him w h o h a d b een l e f t i n comman d b y t h e t o m r d e e n ha t on Darting he gave a diamond ring of chief, with ord ers to send it to his master, as a token of his gratitud e r the consideration which had bee n ex tended to th e suffering lady. The occurrence caused an extraordinary sensation at Vienna. Apart from the b o ld ness o f th e ac t, th e stand ing Brook s an d hi s energet i c act i on, the result of the encounter, so far as Mi ss P erry was concerne d, gave ,uffielent interest t o t h e matter of i t to remain the stand ingtopic weeks. As to the inj u r e d l a dy, she suiftred greatly from the severe wound, but recovered without the l oss of her arm, which at first it seemed im possible to save. Th ou gh Mr. Brooks di scoun t enance d oi,ry i r f ) r many all effor:s to trace out the individual who stopped his carriage, the police, nevertheless, caused the must mi nute inquiries to be made, but without the slightest success. A month or two passed quietly away, when the news of another attack on the highway, this t i me accompa nied with a robbery to a heavy amount, startled the police fr om their apathy, to which they had abandoned themselves since they saw their efforts to point out the perpetrators of the previous robbery fruitless. Attack followed attack at four or six weeks' interval, and they were di rec t e d only against th e mos t wea lthy, with a sag ac i ty and prudence wh i ch defied every pre cLution on the part of the authorities. Years thus passed without the least success against these depreda tors; a nd, late in the fall of 1851, three robberies wer° committed during one night, not ono of which led to a discovery, though the booty consisted of such ar ticles as could not have been disposed of iu the Austrian Empire without establishing suspicion against the seller. In the month of January Miss Perry, who, since re ceivingthe wound from the pistol-shot of her brother in-law, law, had been married to a Welsh gentleman named Trowyth, arrived at Vienna with her husband, where her former adventure was by no means forgotten, and was frequen t l y spo k e n about in company. Among those who seemed to take the deepest interest in the matter was a Baron Pregli, a Lombard nobleman, who for t h e las t t en years had stayed at Vienna, and apparently enjoyed unbounded wealth. He became an admirer of Mrs. Trowyth and her constant attendant. Rumour was soon started, and the question was asked, why the husband allowed so close an inti macy as was exhibited in their frequent rides and walks. None. however, pretended to prognosticate the result of this intimacy. At an early hoar on the 2d of March Baron Pregli's mansion was surrounded by a body of officeos, the leader of whom thereupon demanded access to the building. After a while the doors where thrown open, and the commissary, with two of his men, entered, while others were left to guard the various outlets. Nearly half an hour thus passed over until the officers returned, bringi ng w i th them and care fully guarding Baron Pregli, whom they took to the Prison usually a ssi gned to political offenders. From the action of the police no one can tell what is the offence which he is charged with. lie had no hearing, and pro may have none. His friends may see him again, o m ay not, just as it suits the despotic will of him who rules over Austria. b r a b t l h y e y In spite of the precautions which are always taken in Austria to keep secret the offences of the nobility, the story regard to Baron P reg li' s career h a s leaked oat. in It appears that it is he who, in connexion with several devoted servants, has for years past rendered on these depredation s t h e highway to secants' insecure, as he could carry without in the slightest measure incurring the suspi cion of the authorities. It is a remarkable fact, that the baron had actually from his country residence stood in the pay of the police—a situation which he probably coveted only for the pur pose of leading all Easpicions that might arise into another channel. Becoming deeply e namoured of the beautiful Mrs. Trewyth, he sought vainly to which r, gain her affections, and at last, Mr. Brook in a SiLly s fit of despair, showed her the ring I, -41 d sent him, as the leader of the his years previously, and appealed to tier to become ~i bee she had once been chosen to be the instrument t o highwaymen, three save his life. So far from the confersion having the Keep she became all the More • diced against him, but promised faithfully to , preJui g 't would not effect of softening her feelings, repent the offensive proposals. Pregli did not come near her for a week, but at last attempted to carry her off by the secret i he the aid of his satellites, and being foiled in this in stated.formation was given which led to the arrest, as before Three of the Ba rons • largequantity of articles and at his country resid, were found, all of whichcc° a were identified ashaving stolen.men have since been arrested, RACING FIST" Newcastle ..

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, June 19, (Before Mr. Couirnis&ioner PHILLIPS.) IMPORTANT NEW REGULATION.-IN THE MATTER OF WILLIAM UDELL, This insolvent, a prisol.er, cpplied to be admitted to bail until his hearing. Mr. Commissioner Phillipsin spected the schedule, and finding debts " without consi deration," at once refused the application. His HONOUR said ho found the insolvent had become surety for another person, when he could not pay his own debts, and as he was determined to put a stop to the sys tem, he should adopt, in this case, a rule he had made in his own mind, and refuse the application. He had been very facile in granting bail where solvent sureties ap peared —more facile than the other Commissioners; but it was now high time that something should be done to check the evil to which ho had alluded, and as this was the first case he should take upon himself to refuse bail. On the part of the insolvent an attempt was made to induce the L3arned Commissioner to allow the insol vent to go out on bail, and the case was again called on. In answer to the Commissioner, the insolvent admitted in reference to a debt in the schedule that he had become security for it. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS declared that he would not accept bail in such a case. It was the first principle of justice that a man should pay his own debts before ho became security for other persons. He had been trying everything to check the system, but ho found it was still going on in accommodation bills and suretyships, parti cularly among clerks in public departments. The appli cation was accordingly refused, and the insolvent re turned to prison. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Eliza -, the late companion of Mahomet Abraham, the black beggarman, was brought before Alderman Wire, for the purpose of being formally di charged from custody. She was respectably dressed, and she con ducted herself with great propriety before the alderman. The young woman's father said the girl had, upon being applied to, executed the necessary deed, by which he was enabled to raise a sum of money for her benefit, and had secured her a passage in a vessel about to sail for America. lie expressed himself deeply sensible of the extraordinary kindness and attention with which the Lord Mayor had acted upon the occasion upon which the unfortunate case was introduced to his notice. She was, he had no doubt, rescued, by the humane iu terposi Lion which had taken place, from a life of misery and vice. Alderman WIRE (to the young female)—Am I to understand that you are willing to go abroad? The defendant—Certainly, my Lord; l am most desirous to make my immediate departure, and I beg to be allowed to return thanks for the humanity with which I have been treated, and the opportunity which has been given me of retrieving my character. Alderman WIRE—I am very glad to hear your deter mination. The life which you had been for some time leading has been such as to bring disgrace upon your self and your family, and now that you have the com plete opportunity of making ameeds for your past fol lies, I trust you will not disappoint those who have, in consequence of the manner in which you have acted while under our care, begun to form a very favourable opinion of you. I now deliver you up to your father, and I impress upon you the necessity of reflecting upon the dreadful evils you have just been delivered from. The defendant bowed respectfully to the Alderman, and assured him she would never forget either the misery from which she had been rescued, or the benevolence she had met with from the magistrates of London. In the course of last week the Lord Mayor received several letters from tradesmen and others, making pro posals of marriage to the girl, and assuring his Lordship that they would treat her with the greatest kindness in the distant countries to which they were anxious to in troduce her. All the proposals were made by persons about to go abroad, some to Australia, others to Cali fornia. The following form part of tee correspondence:— " My Lord,—lf, in my ignorance, I violate any rule of etiquette or decency by addressing the following to your Lordship, I humbly seek your pardon for ever troubling you with this paper. But it your Lordship should kindly see fit to grant my prayer, I would con tinue as follows:—My Lord, I have just seen, in the public papers, that it is proposed to send Miss Eliza —, who appeared at the Mansion-house, in company with a black beggerman (Mahamet Abraham) abroad. Having a mother, and four younger brothers and sisters, aged respectively nineteen, sixteen, fourteen, and thir teen, who, with myself, wish to go to Australia (not the gold diggings), but being unable to satisfy that wish for want of means, is the reason of my taking the liberty of proposing to the young lady's father, with per mission of your Lordship, m y marr i age w i t h her, if her parent would provide a free p assage f or the whole of us to the colony. My Lord, permit me to remark that, from a humble position, by ind u st r y an d i n tegrity, risen to my present situation, that of a clerk in a public office , which, for more than three years, I h ave filled, and no w continue to hold, at an increasing salary of SO/. per year, which is not sufficient to keep my almost elderly mother and two orphan sisters. This is mentioned, my Lord, in order that an idea may be formed of the honesty and sincerity of my intentions, which arise, not only out of interested motives, but are also due to some sympathy felt for the young woman herself." Another says:— "My dear Lord Mayor,—l hope you will pardon me for writing these few lines; it is to make a family happy, to restore an unfortunate girl to her home again, and should be happy to offer my hand and heart to Miss Eliza, if she and her parents should think proper. I am a native of Germany, born near Coblentz. I under stand she was going abroad, but I should be most happy to get married and take her to my native country, and endeavour to live happy together. My dear Lord Mayor, I wish you would intercede with EtiZa'd father on behalf of my future happiness, and I would for ever thank you for your kindness. H., 439, Oxford-street." Eliza, has already taken her departure from England. Mehemet, the black man, still remains in custody. I n a day or so, however, he will be set at large. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. uedndlienretaking, AN AND ABERYSTWITH. went Sir C. Fox,it at On Friday a numerous meeting of Welch members of Parliament and landowners was held in Committee room No. 9 of the House of Commons, to discuss the formation of a company for the construction of a railway from Shrewsbury to Aberystwith, Viscount Seaharn in the chair. , and stated into M ar. detailed a ß i E l e T d ri s E t L a L t e , solicitor mnn t n f the to p r t n h p e o s that in the whole of central Wales, for 110 miles from north to south, and 70 from east to west th , --ere was not at present a single railway, and the want of this was in part proposed to be supplied by the construction of the Shrewsbury and Aberystwith line for 70 miles through the heart of Wales. The line had been estimated to cost eminentlo,oool. per contractors,mile, the that rate. The following gentlemen expressed their sentiments in favour of the line:—The He ns . H• and H. Tracey, Messrs. Ormsby Gore, M.P., D. Pugh, M.P., W. Long, andwMerre. Bprreap'saerYcdantc,lo M.P., and P. L3veden, M.P. Letters in favour of the line were read from Sir W. W. Wynn, Sir J. Conroy, and others, and resolutions were passed approving of its construction via Newtown and Machyrilletb, with branches to Welchpool and Llanidloes, the owners of land present pledging themselves to sell their land at a reasonable rate. PARIS AND STRASBURG. The section of this line between Commercy and Nancy was opened to the public on Thursday. Two hundred i nv i tat i on s had been sent to persons of note in Paris i nteres t e d in railway enterprises, and M. F ortou l, t h e Minister of Public Instruction, deputed by the Minister of Public Works to supply his place, M. Boulage, Se cretary-General of the Department of Public Works, the Prefects of the Meurthe, the Moselle, the Bas- Rhin, and the Vosges, Generals Gamin, Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely, Fabvier, and Reynaud, and a num ber of senators and members of the Legislative body, were among the persona invited. The train arrived about four o'clock at Nancy, where the bishop, sur rounded by his clergy, was in attendance to bless the loco motives. The prelate gave his benediction to the new section of the line, and the stock prepared to work it. A grand dinner was given by the town of Nancy to nearly 300 guests. The greatest gaiety and cordiality prevailed during the repast, at the end of which the Minister of Public Instruction, in answer to an address from the Mayor, stated that the Minister of Public Works could inform them more exactly than he could by what under takings Louis Napoleon proposed to complete the rail way works. He was at that time fulfilling the orders of the Prince, who wished to have the line of communica tion by railway completed between the Channel on the north to the Mediterranean and the Atlantic on the south and west. He concluded by proposing the toast of " The Town of Nancy," which was responded to. A number of other toasts were drank during the evening, and about nine o'clock a display of fireworks was given from the triumphal arch which terminates the view of the Place Royale. The whole of the proceedings passed over most happily. The Minister of Public Instruction returned to Paris the same night. THE AUSTRALIAN DIGGINGS.—The following is an extract from a letter dated Sydney, Feb. 4. :—" There is nothing very new here, except that the favourite dig ging at present is in the neighhouring colony of Victoria, at a place called Mount Alexander (Mitchell's original nam e being Mount Byng, under which name you will find it in the maps). There the gold is turned up by tons! In the middle district the calculation seems to be that, of ten persons employing labour at digging for wash gold, only one pays his expenses, and of every five who dig on their own account only one pays his expenses. Of course the Melbourne proportions are much more favour able, but there is still a good deal of gambling there; and I cannot help thinking that the uncertainty of gold finding is one of its principal charms. More than 1,000,0001. sterling have already been shipped from the two colonies; about 700,0001. from this; so that a great proportion of the lower orders are enriched. As yet they hoard; at least, they do n o t purc h ase land, as was expected. The articles which have risen most in value in consequence of the dematidforthe a. but are those Inandise, such as hams,c h ampa g ne , of gour the gold-digger is exp en di ng his money scc .on the ' abo vebacko all, the his lady. An article of ladies' dress cannot be too expensive for his eUre amie so that fine shawls, feathers, &c., are seen flaunting about i n a ll di rect i ons. Fi ve per cent. o the gold turned up is about the exact amount of the sum re ceived by the Government for the licenees to dig for gold. As four in five are, as above mentioned, unsuccessful, it Pillows that, of the gold actually turned up, the Crown only gets 1 per cent., and the other 4 per per cent of the revenue derkred from the licences is derived from the other branches of industry which prevail in the colony. Such is this un wise system, which, while it gives little or nothing of this immense wealth to the Crown, i. e. to the public, is actually destroying all industry, by making our labouring popirr r gamblers, and by' tOrning four-fifths of our disposable l abou r' to actual mote- CITY IMPROVEMENTS. On Thursday, immediately after the termination of the proceedings in the Court of Common Council, seve ral of the more influential of the members of the corpo ration assembled at the Mansion-house fur the purpose of presenting to Mr. Richard Lambert Jones a testimo nial of their esteem for the exertions made by him is in troducing. into the city of London a variety of improve ments, by which the city has been improved, art encou raged, and health and commerce promoted. The Right H on . t h e L ord Mayor presided. His LO RDSHIP, i n taking the chair, ' remarked that he did so with no small degree of pleasure. He well re membered the origin of the proposition for the presenta tion of some testimonial to Mr. Jones—a proposition which was made some years ago; and now he (the Lord Mayor) was glad to find that the proposal had been so well carried out and so satisfactorily consum mated. A public meeting was convened at the Mansion house on the 9th day of June, 1846, to consider the pub lic services of Mr. Richard Lambert Jones, especially connected with the improvement of the metropolis, when it was unanimously resolved* that the eminent public services rendered by that gentleman as a member of the Court of Common Council, as chairman of the com mittee for rebuilding London -bridge and making suitable approaches thereto; as chairman of the committee for rebuilding the Royal Exchange; and as chairman of the committee for effecting public improvements in the city, deserve a suitable testimonial to record and perpetuate the grateful sense entertained by the public and his fellow-citizens of his disinterested and and laborious de votion in the discharge of such duties, whereby the in creasing commerce of this great city has been accommo dated, the merchants thereof provided with a splendid edifice, and the comfort of the inhabitants and the salu brity of the city greatly improved. A su'oscription was at once entered into, and a committee appointed to carry out the objects of the meeting, which com mittee presented a report to a further general meet ing of the subscribers, held at the Mansion-house on the 13th day of August, 1846, in which they re commended the three following propositions, as com bining the most ; likely and certain method of carry ing into effect the object of the subscribers :—First, the erection of a marble bust of Mr. Jones; secondly, the providing of a gold medal with a suitable inscription; and, thirdly, the foundation of a fellowship in connexion with one of the schools of the City, to be called " The Jones Scholarship," leaving to Mr. Jones the nomina tion of the school. The foregoing propositions were unanimously adopted, and the committee and trustees authorised to take the proper steps for carrying the same into effect, communicating the same to Mr. Jones. Since then Mr. Jones had requested that the surplus of the subscription might be invested and appropriated for a " Lambert Jones Scholarship" in the City of London School, and the sum of 7(101. had been cons& quently in vested in the Three per Cent. Consuls, in the name of trustees for that purpose. It was his delightful duty to present to Richard Lambert Jones, Esq., the gold medal which he held in his hand, for his services in the pro motion of the improvement of the City. He trusted his worthy friend would long live to enjoy the confidence of all who thus had so generously acknowledged his ser vices, and that his conduct might induce many others to imitate so noble an example.—(Cheers.) Mr. JONES, in receiving the testimonial, said—My Lord Mayor and gentlemen—No ono can more sincerely and gratefully acknowledge than I wish to do, this great mark of kindness to me on the part of my fellow citizens who have thought me worthy of such a distinguished honour, so feelingly conveyed to me by your Lordship. This is a memorial, my Lord, of which any man might feel proud.—(Hear, hear.) None, however, can feel more so than I do at this moment, humble though I am. —(Althdugh my labours as chairman of the city im provements have extended over a period of more than a quarter of a century, and the superintendence over and expenditure of nearly two millions of money, I will challenge all the world to say truly that any act of mine was for my own self-interest; and I must also state that I consider the basis upon which all our improvements take their rise is from the removal of Old London-bridge and the construction of the new one in the place of it. For that removal I can assure you I take no small degree of credit. The fact is that at that time I consider the corporation was not sincere until the Parliament in terposed.—(Hear. hear.) About this, however, I say no more; but, my Lord, I hope I may be permitted to state, with regard to the long period since the sub scription in this case was commenced, that it is not right to suppose, as many may have done, that the delay has been caused through the amounts not having been forth coming, as it is due to the sucscribers, and also to my self, that I should state that such was the spontaneous feeling of my fellow citizens that the subscription was completed within a few months of its commencement. [Alderman Wire—A few weeks.—(Hear.)] In con clusion, I beg to state that as the corporation of London have thought it right to establish a school for the edu cation of the children of the citizens of London, I con sidered that I could not do better than to appropriate the remainder of the subscription for a perpetual scholar ship to that school in my name as a stimulus to those scholars who are to be educated there.—(Cheers.) My Lord and Gentlemen,—l beg to return you my sincere thanks for the distinguished honour you have this day conferred upon me.—(Loud cheers.) Dr. MORTIMER, head master of the City of London School, then said that he was desirous, with the per mission of his Lordship, the Lord Mayor, of returning his sincere thanks to the worthy gentleman, Mr. Jones, for his kindness in having furnished means for an ad ditional scholarship in the City of London School. He could speak from experience as to the value of such stimulants to exertion.—(Hear.) It was but a short time since that a most distinguished man said in the Merchants' Taylors' Hall that, for the position he then held in society he was indebted to the assistance he had received from that company.—(Hear, and cheers.) In the case of the gift of Mr. Lambert Jones they would have not merely the memorial of the name of so emi nent a man, but also the means of assisting youth of a deserving character.—(Hear.) During the last twelve years, through the liberality of the citizens of London and other gentlemen, the City of London School had become possessed of four scholarships for the University of Cambridge, and five for Oxford and other places. These had been filled up, and it was most grati fying for him to state that the yonug men who had obtained them had since rapidly risen at the University. The young man who had gained the Times scholarship (the foundation of which was so noble on the part of the proprietors of that journal, it having arisen from the appropriation of subscriptions made to them, as were the present sums towards furnishing a memorial to the honour of Mr. Jones)—he who had gained that scholarship was speedily elevated to the po sition of fifth wrangler, since then he had been made a fellow and a tutor, and now he was taking the conduct of one of the most distinguished proctorships in the col lege.—(Cheers.) The youth also who had gained the first Salomans scholarship was now the head master of large school at Burton-upon-Trent, with 4501. a year sa lary; and the " Beaufoy boys " were rapidly rising.— (Cheers.) He (Dr. Mortimer) hoped that the Jones scholarship would be equally successful and useful to the rising generation.—(Hear.) Mr. RICHARD LAMBERT JONES then proposed a vote of thanks to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor for his kindness in presiding over the meeting. This proposition having been seconded by Alderman WIRE, was carried unanimously. HIS 'LORDSHIP shortly returned thanks, and the pro ceeciings terminated.

We have to report a few arrivals of foreign grain since our last. The rec e ipt s o f h ome gra i n , h o w e ver, as is usual at this season of the year, are small in the extreme. As some _ parties look upon the present weather as unfavourable to the wheat crop, we have on this account, as well as owing to he . firmer feeling manifested at the English side, some little spa' culative inquiry in the finer descriptions of foreign wheat, which are very firm at the rate of last week. We quote 3 1 e _ rianople 255, Ghirka, 243 6d, and Odessa, 21s Gd to 22s p e r barrel. Egyptian is in very brisk demand, and meets.. impos sible a fr e sale at 22s per barrel. Oats are very dull, and it is . to effect a sale of the article unless at a considerable. reduction on late rates. We have an improved demand for and a good business passing in fine flour.
