The Arch duke HEINRICH will soon proceed to Verona to take command of the division of the Venetian army. Prince ALEXANDER of Hesse will also receive a command. The subject of the Italian armaments continues to occupy the attention of the journals in Vienna. This has introduced quite a new fea ture into the discussion of matters, and added greatly to their complication. It has of course furnished an admirable pretext for Prussia to refuse all the proposals of Austria, and thus all the time lately spent in discussing the question of disarma ment has been thrown away. The Vienna Cabi net had sent a despatch to Count KAROLYI, dated April 26, in which they express great satisfaction at the proposed simultaneous disarmament, and go on to talk of withdrawing the troops from Bohemia. But the effect of this is entirely spoiled by the suc ceeding notification in the despatch. "We are now," it states, "in a position which requires us to increase our means of defence in another direction, and we ought to be excused that this circumstance will not prevent the Prussian Government from responding to the retirement of our troops from the B ohe mian frontier by the reduction of the Prussian corps, which have been mobilised." Austria, it is added, , is compelled to place its Italian army upon a war ' footing in consequence of the warlike preparations made by VICTOR EMMANUEL. Great stress is laid in this communication on the fact that these prepa rations are only made with a view to the eventuality of a conflict with Italy, and the Vienna Government trusts that this will not prevent the two German Powers from carrying out their mutual proposal for disarmament. In this, however, they are mistaken, for the answer to this despatch has been that all the Aus trian proposals for disarmament have been completely nullified in consequence of the armaments she has prepared in Italy. Of course this is all an idle excuse, because there would not have been any Austrian armaments in that direction to complain of had not Prussia, for her own ends and objects, stirred up an agitation in Italy, and enticed the KING into forming a treaty with her. Whatever the motive be, however, it is quite evident what the result is, and as day after day only brings us a repetition of these shuf fling excuses and ingenious evasions, we cannot but cannot but conclude war to be immi nent. A very significant hint is given in the last paragraph of this despatch of Austria ; it says that it depends upon Prussia to " calm apprehen sions" which have been entertained in various directions, especially by the German Governments, and this can be done by her giving as positive an assurance as Austria gave to her confederates. We have seen how little heed was paid to this advice by the obstinate and infatuated BISMARCK, and, indeed, he has as good as said that he does not care for keeping terms with Austria compared to carrying out his own policy coats qui coute. It appears that Austria addressed a second Note to Prussia containing no very welcome intelligence, for it stated that the Duke of AUGUSTENBERG had the best title to the Schleswig- Holstein throne, and that therefore she proposed that he should be installed as Duke of those Duchies. It will be a very good thing if this proves to be the case in the end, for since the King of DENMARK has lost all chance of that possession, the next best thing will be for the Duke of AUGUSTENBERG to obtain them. It will be teaching a very good lesson to Prussia, and offer an example to Europe of the disappointment occasioned by such a course of treachery as she has pursued for the last year or two. It is possible that in the event of a war speedily breaking out that this may be the case, but of course the mere mention of such a thing is enough to set Herr BISMARCK in a rage, and make him deny anything, and refuse con sent to any plan. Prussia is certainly playing a mad game, and seems intent in quarrelling with every one, right and left, until she gains her pur pose of annexing the Duchies, and being the recog nised head of Germany. It is difficult to decide whether her communications on home subjects or for foreign affairs are the most arbitrary and dictatorial. Here we have her dictating to Saxony in the most insulting manner, and demanding that explanations be furnished respecting the Saxon armaments, and she threatens to take measures in case of receiving an unsatisfactory reply, and in case of a refusal to disarm. Again we find Herr BISMARCK sending a Circular Note to the German Governments, in which he declares that the essence of the Prussian proposal for Reform was that a time should be fixed for the assembling of a German Parliament before the discussion of the Reform propesition was i begun by the different Governments. Prussia will consider the rejection of this point by the different German Governments on a " virtual refusal" to consider the question of reforming the Federal Constitution. Can anything be more inconside rate and unfair than this conduct, or is this lan guage likely to conciliate friends or impress waverers ? The fact is, that things are quite a l'outrance now with the Berlin Cabinet, and it almost looks as if the real meaning of all these Notes and Despatches was to gain time until all is ripe for war. The new Fremdenblatt of Vienna yesterday declares that Prussia and Italy have decided upon a plan for attacking Austria, and that Italy undertakes to commence hostilities. It really seems as if peace was not very likely under all these circumstances ; but so peculiar and un certain is the nature of the parties concerned that it may yet turn out that some compromise may be made, and war again put off. The City of New York has arrived at Q ueens _ town from New York on the 21st ult. The prin cipal intelligence which she brings refers to the movements of the Fenians and to the preparations made to receive, or rather to repress, them. The American Government appears to have acted in good faith towards this country, and to have really taken active measures to prevent disturbances on the frontier. General MEADE, who we heard by the last mail was to proceed to Eastport, the pre sent Fenian ren d ezvous , h as ar rived there, announc ing his intention of enforcing the neutrality laws. Atealai e s American General MEADE had an interview with the British Regulator. The on board the ttnders understanding e ng tw th o com manders Stephe n ' s Federal tro o p s should prevent any disturbance in the vicinity of St. arrived at the att the Federal British troops ori ginally destined f or t h at . being stationed at St. Andrew's. Gene ra l M Ei s said to have tele graphed for more troops from Portland. arriTal at Eastport port was by His v no Meats premature, THE SUN, LOrkDUN, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1866. eeing that a Fenian steamer loaded with arms was at Eastport, which the Federal authorities have since seized. As soon as a veritable military com mander, wb.o knew what he was about, and intended to enforce - his words by the logic of facts, appeared upon the scene, the Fenian hero, who was to settle so many troublesome international question!, with the assistance of his " million" brothers, thought if: advisable to " skedaddle." DORAN KILLIAN, notwithstanding his eloquence, took him self off from. Eastport immediately on the arrival of General Ar-E.4DE. The General's presence, too, ap pears to 'nave imparted confidence to the Canadians, since the Volunteers sent to the frontier of Lower Canada have been recalled, the raids of the Fenians being no longer 'apprehended. The British ship Duncan, with the 17th Regiment on board, has arrived at St. Andrew's, where there are already the war steamers Rosalia and Fawn, with a battery of horse artillery and Armstrong guns. Other steamers are expected, and as we know more gunboats are to be despatched from this country for service on the lakes, there is no fear of the Canadians being left entirely to their own resources. Three United States vessels have also been sent to Eastport, so that the American Government is fully prepared to maintain its pledges by sea as well as by land. We hope that these vigorous preparations will produce a double effect. They will assuredly discourage the more rational of the Fenians who can scarcely be made to hope that they can successfully compete with the united forces of England and America, while they will tend to reassure the colonists and relieve them from part of the heavy burden of expense and anxiety which they have been called upon to' bear by the folly and wickedness of dupes and schemers. The Fenian leaders seem to think it nearly time to be off with their gains, for at a grand meeting, held at the Cooper Institute, New York, ROBERTS announced that this would be the last meeting before the final blow for liberty was struck. The Fenians themselves will have done good service enough to the Provinces by resuscitating the scheme of the Confederation and silencing the factious opposition which existed. Both Houses of the Nova Scotian Parliament have passed resolutions favouring the scheme, and appointing a delegation to proceed to England, so that we hope before long to see this wise and politic measure actually become law. From New York itself we learn little that is im portant. A procession of soldiers and sailors visited President JOHNSON, when the PRESIDENT made a long speech, reiterating his opinions respecting the admission of Southern representatives. He re minded his bearers that one of the great principles on which America founded her revolution against England was that there should be no taxa tion without representation. Such constitu tional logic is, however, quite out of the reach of the Radical party. Le droit du plusport is the only argument which they can appreciate, and mercilessly they use it. The PRESIDENT appealed to the soldiers and sailors as competent judges of what was fair and reasonable, scornfully remarking that those who had stayed at home all through the war seemed to bring to the question of peace all the excitement and resentment which the others had expended. Another speech President JOHNSON made to the coloured soldiers and citizens who celebrated the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. In this address Mr. Jou NsoN claimed to be the negro's best friend. They would find out, he said, before long, who were really their friends, and who acted from mercenary considerations. It is, indeed, fortunate for the much-enduring blacks that their reckless theoretical advocates were not in power during the great transition from slavery to freedom, or they would infallibly have ended by leaving him in a worse position than they found him in. All Mr. JouNsox's addresses breathe the same spirit of unflinching resolution, though he never fails to support his resolve by fair explanations of his reasons. Such conduct we cannot but believe must influence the great body of intelligent men whose votes will before long give their sentiments practical expression. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PAms,Wednesday Evening. The announcements made officially and semi officially that France intends to remain neuter in the German quarrel have neither satisfied the public nor the capitalists of the Bourse. The Siecle has an article to-day upon this point, which must command attention. After remarking upon the silence of the Moniteur, it says— " To imagine that France would remain entirely neutral in case of war is to distort facts strangely. The French Government, in accord with the sin cere friends of Italy, no doubt advises her not to be carried away by hostile demonstrations, to re main firmly on the defensive, to leave her unjust enemy to perpetrate all the wrong ; but if Austria will run the chance of battle, if she should set her foot upon the territory which she has lost, we could not remain inactive spectators of such en terprises ; we could not passively allow Austria to try to reconquer in the Peninsular the influence which we have opposed for so many centuries, and which the fate of arms and wise policy have enabled us to counteract." Le Temps also remarks upon the silence of the ltloniteur. Let me reply that the pear is not yet ripe. It depends "upon M. Bismark and other Ger man diplomatists whether France will be compelled ere long to speak " trumpet-tongued." The Semaine Financiere, viewing the present crisis financially, has some observations worth reproduc ing. The writer, M. Forcade, is equally far-seeing both as financier and politician :—" Italy, from her situation, is compelled to submit to painful necessi ties. We are not ignorant of this, but they who advise her to ally herself with M. Bismark have exercised a fatal influence. In a month the Italian rente has fallen 20 per cent. It has fallen lower than 50. That, to begin with, is the profit which she derived from her connivance with M. Bismark. Can such a rapid and serious depression of a State security be compensated by the conquest of a province ? The future will tell, but in the mean time a multitude of small fundholders, who had confidence in Italy, suffer and are uneasy. In the meantime, also, Italy sees her credit depreciate, and credit is one of the most necessary guarantees of her independence. In the case of the negotiation of any new loan, Italy would feel the difficulty engendered by her allowing her rente to fall so low. They who take an interest in Italian destinies must feel regret in the grave fact that the Italian 5 per Cents. had one day fallen below 50f." The Constitutionnel, remarking upon the position, y Thedominantfmacing. t of the day is that both parties are actively arf the two c oun t r i es are full Theof detailsiournaolsf and letters these warlike preparations, and some of them go so far as toAmo ngpublish theplans o a fn many future demolitionsop erati o l n a s t . e " ly effected in Paris is that of the celebrated Tower at Mont martre, which served as a telegraph in the time of wooden telegraphs. The Catholic world always held this tower in great veneration. On this moun tain, as ancient records say, was decapitated St. Denis, in the year 275 B.C. The tower was built at the extremity of the ancient abbey in which, in the time of Dagobert the First, criminals found an inviolable refuge. The Benedictine monks after wards took possession of it. The Pope Eugene the Third celebrated mass there. Queen Adeladie, wife of Louis le Gros, who was a member of the order of Benedictines, was interred there, and her tomb was preserved until 1789, The church c' layntmArtre was the cradle of the Company of Jesus, and the celebrated Ignatius de Loyola made his vows there on the 15th of August, 1534. In the time of the Revolution the Sisters were driven away without mercy, and the church itself was converted into the Temple of Reason. _ _ The rowing matches of the Paris Rowing Club took place on Sunday, on the Seine, near the Pont de la Concorde, and proved very attractive. Seven prizes were gained by the following :—Avenir (one rower), Bluette (two rowers), Saphir (four rowers). The Prix de Consolation was won by Alerte. In the matches of the first class the crew of the Per severance, manning Perseverance and Nip-Nip, won the matches with one, two, and four rowers. On Sunday next, at Billaucourt, near Paris, where there is to be a fete, a splendid cup, given by the Comptoir Centrale, will be rowed for, and also several other prizes. The catalog* of the present Exhibition com prises 3,297 numbers. The numbers of that of last year amounted to 3,554, a decrease of 257 ; a difference arising simply from the fact that fewer works were sent, and not from increased vigour on the part of the jury. The number of paintings is 1,998. The works of sculpture amount to 390. The other works are drawings, miniatures, porce laines, enamels, engravings, lithographs, &c. There are 75 architectural drawings. It was in 1699, nearly 200 years ago, that Mansart, architect to Louis XIV., represented to his Majesty that the academicians wished for a building "in which to to exhibit their works for the criticism of the public, and to excite emulation and admiration among themselves." His Majesty approved of the idea, and in order to make the Exhibition as attractive as possible allowed it to take place in one of the galleries of the Louvre. It was opened in No vember, 1699, and lasted a fortnight. At this period of exceptions and privileges only artists who belonged to the Academy were allowed to send paintings, so that there were only 253, 24 pieces of sculpture, and 29 engravings. The number of works sent decreased gradually in later years, and in 1748 the Superintendent of the Fine Arts, seeing the impossibility of filling the saloon every year, advised that the exhibition should only take place every other year. This system lasted up to the time of the Revolution. What a change has taken place ! Now the difficulty is to find room for the increasing number of pictures. One of the Paris papers states that among the passengers for America, who left Havre a day or two ago by the Transatlantic packet boat Napoleon Trois, was Stephens, the Head Centre of the Fenians. M. F. Cuvier, a Councillor of State, has been ap pointed Deputy Governor of the Bank of France, in the room of Baron Doyen, who died a few days ago. Again winter relents and has taken temporary departure. To-day the weather has been fine, with slight showers; and if " one unbounded spring" be not in the ascendant, at all events it has been plea sant and warm. Madame Duruy, the wife of the Minister of Public Instruction, is so dangerously ill that her medical attendants have little hope. Indeed I just now heard it mentioned that she was dead, but I cannot vouch for the truth of the account. PARLIAMMNTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS-MAY 2. MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER BILL.

MADAME TUSSAUD'S.—This magnificent exhibi tion continues to be extensively patronised ; it evidently gains popularity from the fact that no other institution of a like nature is to be found in Europe.

Popular demonstrations have taken place in this City, Naples, Turin, and other towns, in favour of the national armaments. The National Guard of Naples have expressed their wish to relieve the troops now garrisoning the town. The public funds have risen in Naples in conse quence of the promulgation of the decree ordering the forced bank-note currency. The Florence Chamber of Commerce has ex pressed its satisfaction at this measure to the Mi nister of Finance. FLORENCE, MAY 3. The new loan of 250 millions of lire, which has been contracted by the Government with the Na tional Bank, consists of a current account opened by the Public Treasury, whereby the latter will be able to draw upon the bank to the above amount. Interest will be calculated at 1 per cent. on all amounts advanced from the 2d inst. until the con clusion of a different arrangement. The Government releases the National Bank from the obligation of paying its notes on presentation in specie. The notes of the National Bank will be given and received as legal tender for their nominal value in payments of every kind throughout the kingdom. The Banks of Naples and Sicily, the National Bank, the National Tuscan Bank, the Bank of Tuscany, the Credit Industrial and the Society of Commerce, will continue to issue credit bonds in conformity with their statutes. The bonds of the Banks of Naples and Sicily will be a legal tender for their nominal value in all payments in the provinces of Naples and Sicily. The National Bank and the other financial establishments above mentioned will not be allowed to vary their rate of discount without the authorisation of the Minister of Finance. THE PRINCIPALITIES. PARIS, MAY 3. Prince Charles of Hohenzollern is said to have declined the Hospodarship of the Danubian Princi- palities. BAVARIA. MUNICH, MAY 3.

The Bavarian Government will only consider the necessity for maintaining the measures of defence which they have taken to cease when the danger of a war in Germany shall have disappeared. SPAIN. MADRID, MAY 2 (Evening). The Bank of Spain has determined to demand an indemnity from the GovernMent in the event of the Ell for the new National Bank being agreed to by the Cortes.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Charles Dickens ap peared for the first time at the Crystal Palace, and read the story of " Little Dombey." For nearly one hour and a half the smiles and tears of upwards of 2,000 persons were at the command of the Great Enchanter, and at the conclusion of the delightful entertainment the applause was universal and enthusiastic. Anything more exquisite than the reading of Mr. Charles Dickens it is impossible to imagine, and those who have not yet heard the incomparable author have a pleasurable gratification in store they little dream of. The concerts given at the Palace are admitted on all hands to be a success, but in attraction they do not equal the unaided efforts of Mr. Charles Dickens. Not a seat in the concert room was unoccupied, and those who arrived late submitted to the incon venience of standing throughout the entire reading. When are the public to have a repetition of this most pleasurable entertainment ? That is a ques tion which, we doubt not, will soon be answered by the managers of the glittering palace at Sydenham. The Rocky Mountains. Of late several splendid paintings have been exhibited in Mr. Xi'Lean's New Gallery, 7, Hay market ; but the one at present on view, viz., " The Rocky Mountains," far exceeds in beauty anything submitted to the public for a considerable length of time. The painting is the production of an artist named Berstadt, a German by birth, but an American as far as art and education are con cerned, from the fact that he has resided in the Great Republic, except when absent on professional tours, ever since he was two years of age. The pic ture is of large size, in the centre of which the gigan tic mountains rise in majestic grandeur, until their summit is nearly lost to view in the drifting clouds. A mountain stream pursues its winding course along the lower chain until it falls into an extensive lake in the foreground ; a party of Red Indians are encamped on the right, and another party of the same roving race are at their pastures beneath the lofty trees on the left. The treatment of the light and shade in the picture is marvellous, and having said that, we have said no more than the truth, and further elaboration would be but useless repetition. We recommend all lovers of the fine arts not to omit viewing the picture, because it is one of those peculiarly grand productions which do not very often make their appearance in the world of art. M. SOTHERN.—The testimonial from a number of members of the Stock Exchange to Mr. Sothern was presented to that gentleman last Saturday. The testimo nial took the shape of a silver vase, or rather, perhaps, a vast drinking-cup, of proportions such as might have served Odin himself. The cup bore the following inscription : "E. A. Sothern, Esq., from a few members of the London Stock Exchange. For spirits and hot water. Presented to one who has administered the latter to the former -1866." - - MAY DAY.--Londoners need not be told what a wretchedly uncomfortable day ushered in the " merry month;" but it may be some consolation for them to know that the inhabitants of all other parts of England were no better off. In fact, reports from the whole of the - United Kingdom are uniformly dreary. From Ireland (and Scot land, of course), from Devon and Cornwall, from the neigh bourhood of the Cotswold Hills, in Gloucestershire, from the northern counties, and from everywhere else we learn that snow fell, and that thflt wind was piercing cold, LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day). COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice Willes and a Common Jury.) DEANE V. STEELS.-A VICIOUS DOG. The plaintiff in this case is a tradesman at Ealing, and the action was brought to recover damages for injuries sustained through a bite from a bitch, the property of the defendant, who is a greengrocer, and also liVes at Ealing. Mr. Day appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Levy for the defendant. From the evidence of the plaintiff if appeared that, on the 13th May, he went to the shop of the plaintiff to fetch some radishes ho had ordered. Immediately ho reached the door he was attacked by the dog, which bit him severely, and he suffered much pain for some days. He was obliged to have recourse to medical assistance, and the plaintiff had promised to pay the bill he had incurred in consequence, but he subsequently repudiated any liability. There was no evidence, but counsel argued that as no complaint before had been made as to the viciousness of the dog, the defendant could not be legally liable for the acci dent which had occurred. His lordship took the same view, and the plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—.This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET A CABMAN CHARGED BY AN M.P. WITH BEING DRUNK, CRUELLY ILL-TREATING A HORSE, AND FURIOUS DRIVING. —Daniel Crimmen, cab-driver, badge 1,586, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk, cruelly ill-treating a horse, and furious driving. Mr. Henry Arthur Herbert, M.P. for Kerry, of No. 3, Charles-streetperkeley-square, said that at about half-past 10 the previous night he was in Berkeley-square on his way home, when he saw tho defendant, who was driving at a furious rate and striking his horse most cruelly. He followed the defendant, and saw him pull up near a mews, and beat the horse about the head while it was standing still. He told the defendant that he ought to be taken into custody for his conduct, and he got into the cab, and told him to drive to Vine-street station, which he did. The defendant asked the complainant whether he meant to say that he beat the horse while he was standing still ? Mr. Herbert said he did. Police-constable Gordon, 33 C, said on the defendant arriving at the station he found that he had been drinking. In answer to Mr. Knox, the constable said he did not notice any marks on the horse's head. Inspector Draper said the defendant was so much the worse for drink that ho thought it would be dangerous to allow him to go, so he detained him. He did not see any marks on the horse's head. The defendant said if he was so drunk as was stated, it was strange the gentleman should entrust himself in his cab from Charles-street to Vine-street. He only whipped the horse to make it turn into Charles-street, as he wanted to pull up to get some bread and cheese. As for cruelty to the horse it was not in his nature, and he had never been charged with such an offence before. Mr. Knox said it was monstrous to suppose that a gen tleman would take the trouble to take the defendant to the station, and to come to that court if the defendant had not been guilty of the conduct described. Luckily for the de fendant there were no marks of violence on the horse, or he would have been sent to prison without a fine, and that was the only thing in the defendant's favour. Ho should fine the defendant 405., or one month. WESTMINSTER. CASUAL PAUPERS.—Timothy Callaghan, a stout fellow, was charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance at St. Margaret's Workhouse, Westminster. It was stated that the master of the workhouse, who had given him into custody, was not in attendance to prose cute, but police 7 constable Cole, 50 B, said he knew some thing of the matter. He was on duty near the workhouse last night, and found defendant drunk and knocking at the door. ,He was told by the porter that he could not be admitted, and witness recommended him to go away, but ho refused, and again knocked loudly at the door, de manding a night's lodging. He was refused because of hic drunkenness, and then told the master that he would smash the windows, upon which he was given into custody. _ _ Defendant said he was very sorry, but did not remember anything about it. Mr. Cook said he could not expect to be admitted into the workhouse while in a state of drunkenness. He must pay a fine of 2s. or be committed for one day. Soon after this the master of the workhouse entered the court and said he had been detained by urgent business. He wished to inform the magistrates, that agreeably with orders of the Board of Guardians, he had sent the defen dant and a number of other able-bodied casual paupers of his class to the stone-yard yesterday, but defendant had done little or no work. He, however,'came to the work house at 9 o'clock last night and was offered an order for his night's lodging, but refused to take it, and going away returned drunk in two or three hours and threatened to break the windows. He (the master) was subjected to threats from these paupers, which had made him fearful of being out after dark, and he wished to know whether Callngham could not be called upon to find bail. Mr. Cook said ho had disposed of the case, but if any thing further occurred he should have every protection. THAMES. AUDACIOUS ROBBERY BY A CARMAN.—AIfred Stedman, a carman, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing-2171b. of sugar, valued at £4 10s., the property of John Mutters and Co., his employers. The prosecutors are extensive carriers and town carmen in Dock-street, Wellclose-square. The prisoner was or dered by Mr. John Rutherford, their manager, to fetch a hogshead of sugar from the West India Dock and deliver it at Hore's-wharf in Wapping for shipment to Scotland. When delivered to the prisoner the hogshead of sugar weighed 16cwt. 2qrs. 211 b. Soon after it was delivered at the wharf, Mr. Thomas Grogan, employed at the wharf, discovered that it had been tampered with. ' On rolling it over a piece gave way. There was a hole in the head of the cask, and it was evident that part of the contents had been abstracted. The cask was de livered to the prisoner in a sound state, and when it was put into his cart there was no hole in the head of it. On being re-weighed, after the discovery by Mr. Grogan, the weight was 14 cwt. 3 qrs. only. The abstraction of the sugar must have taken place between the West India Dock and Hore's Wharf. The prisoner was three hours on the road. The distance is about three miles, and the journey ought not to have lasted more than one hour. He accounted to the manager and to Police-sergeant Duna way, 11 H, for the delay, by stating that his horse was down twice on the journey, once in the dock and again opposite Limehouse Church, and he was very much afraid the horse had the gripes. He also said the horse was down half an hour the second time. The prisoner, in his defence, said he delivered the hogs head "sound and safe" at Hore's wharf, but there was a tin on it. It was explained to the Magistrate that a tin nailed down was always placed over the sampling hole of a hogs head. The sugar in the cask in question had not been abstracted through the sampling hole. Two witnesses proved that the hogshead was in a sound state when it left the dock. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial. MARKETS.---This Day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The supply of beasts on sale here to-day was limited, and th• demand for all breeds ruled steady, at an advance in the qtfotations realised on Monday last of quite 2d per 81bs.
