The Government of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Austra, impressed with the importance of extending to that country the benefits of joint-stock b inking - , ha granted to his Excellency the Baron de Thierry a p eliminary con cession for the establishment of a Bank, with branches throughout the Empire, to be conducted on English banking principles. 2. As an evidence of the wide field open for such an insti tuti-n, it may be stated that while England, with a popula tion of 30,000 000, has more than 1,500 joint- s t oc k b anks, in caiding branches, Austra, with a population of 39,000,000, has only five banks, with a very limited number of branches. 3. The recent so passed by the Aug trian legislature for the resumption of cash payments on or before the Ist January, 1067, is founded on principles identical with those governing the Bank of England. This important financial ref orm, com bined with the great progress recently made in the constitu tional government of Austria, must pace all commercial operations on a sounder and more stable basis. 4. The vast Agricultural and mineral resources of Austria, which become daily more largely developed by the railways already existing, as well as by those in course of completion, and which find a ready market in this country, require bank ing facilities co - extensive with commercial progress. 5. The system of banking as known in Great Britain and some of the Continental States is so little in use in Austria that the ordinary practice amongst merchants and others is to keep within their own hands their deposits of bullion and other securities and each of the Governmental Departments la for the extent of its own funds its own banker. 6. It is anticipated that the commercial community will be induced from the facilities afforded them to deposit with this establishment bullion and securities which they now retain in their own cash-boxes ; and the communications which have pissed with the Austrian Government justify tho belief that the `• Imperia Royal Privileged Union Bank' willbeoome the banke"s for the several State Departments, his Excellency the Alinister of Finance h wing, in reply to the application made for the with concession, stated " th a t th e G overnment, looking with satisfa tion on the creation of an establishment so beneficial, would afford it every r ossibl assistance." 7 . The statutes of the Bank, whieh have been submitted to Tile Im perial Government, are fo rme d on t h e established principles of limited liability. 8. The subjoined letter has been this day received from his I...xce!lency Baron de Thierry, Privy Councillor of his Imperial Royal Majesty the Emperor of Austria:— " L'indon, May 4, 1863. " I have to acknowledge the receipt of the proof of fin.tn cial means required for the establishment of the Imerial kind Royal Privilezed Union Bank of Austria (Limited ou have this day given me for the iiurpose of placing it in alea lised form before the Government of his Majesty the Empe ror, my most graci ius 4overe gn. -- "The condition precedent to the approval of the statutes having been thereby fulfilled, ann the Government thus enat , led to apply for the sanction of his Imperial Majesty to the definite concession authorising the opening of the said Imperial anti Royal Privileged Union Bank, I ereby autho rise you, in pursuance of authority granted to me in a letter from the Imperial Finance Minister, his Excellency I , err von Mem r, dated Vienna, the Bth December, 1862.

The exclusive rights over all the precious metals in the entire district are he'd by the present proprietors in perpe- Ntuity, under a grant direct from the King* of Sweden and oway, at a merely nomi na l rent of 60 specie thal rs 'about ) per annum, and they will be conveyed to the company on most advanta ' ;reous terms, the vendors fig - teeing to acce i. t -£15,`00 for their entire interest therein, £10,500 thereof pay able in fully paid-up shares A full statement wi'l be supplied on application. contain ing* detailed particulars as to the works already in t ctive operation in the district, its great resources, ant the general state of mining prosp.cts in Norway for native silver It has been drawn up from the returns made by the authority of the Norwegian t.overnment. The well ascertained existence of silver veins of great richness throughout the property does away with the uncertainty usually attendant on mining operations.

By special permission the official director of the Norwegian Government Mines has joined the board of the " Skara." No payment of any kind will be chargeable againt4 the Company for promotion, and the preliminary expenses will be confined solely to actual necessary outlay.

To the Somersetshire there has been a species of fatality attached for years, in the shape of it becoming on paper a certainty for some particular animal, who in general falls a victim to what is called a rank outsider. On the present oc casion the same aspect presents itself, as the race after Had dington's performance with Asteroid appears to be a gift to Canary, and in fact there would seem to be nothing in it but him, Kingswood, and Fantail, and to this trio we leave it. AUGUR—Sporting Life. The Someraetshire Stakes appears to be a gift for Canary, according to the running with Haddingtou, at Epsom, con sequently it will be useless reeking further, and I ruu..t therefore assign the race to Canary, and, for place-batting, Vinegar Hill and Flirtation appear most trustworthy, Portsmouth and Col.

They declared that the so-cal,ed brig andage existed only on the Roman frontiers, and promised its immediate extinction. They denied the thoroughly w e ll authenticated accounts of Piedmontese brutalities. They would not behave in the flames of Pontelandolfo—in the fusillades of Pinelli and Cialdini. Her Majesty's Ministers must have a very low idea of the intelligence and information of the IlJuse of Commons, or they would not try to palm upon it the contemptible fiction that the so-called brigandage is organised at Rome. We really wonder that the house could listen with patience to Mr. Layard, Lord Palmerston, and Mr. Gladstone, all repeatit g one after the other that the bands which defy the Piedmontese authority, and hold their ground Against 90,000 trained sol diers, are so many fo:eigners sent from Rome. Her Majesty's consul may indeed say so, but his supe riors must know now what credit to attach to the consul's statements, even if they know nothing of the geography of the kingdom of Naples. Bands sent from Rome ! foreigners, indeed ! Why, the provinces of Naples which are especially in the possession of the brigands are far distant from the Roman frontier, whilst on that frontier comparative tranquillity prevails —as well it may, the Papal boundary being closely guarded on the one side by French, and on the other by Italian troops. The brigandage is most rampant in Bari, to reach which the expedition must pass through three provinces in the immediate vicinity of the city of Naples, within sight of the gates of that city, and at the very end of the boot in Calabria, where Major Fume! has shot so many hundreds of peasants as brigands. That the brigand are not foreigners we have the assurance of the Ita lian Ministers themselves, who find in the fact of their being Neapolitan peasants, and in the treat - ment which the peasants have received at the hands of the Piedmontese commanders, a reason for their being brigands. The brigandage is merely the ex pression of the intense dissatisfaction of the people of Naples with the present Administration, and it can only be extinguished by reforming that Admi nistration so that it may satisfy the people. Un fortunately her Majesty's Ministers, who have some claims by their thick and thin partisanship to at tention at Turin, instead of using their influence to hasten this change of system, deem themselves bound to defend everything the Piedmontese Go vernment has done as the best thing possible. All the foul cruelties committed upon the unhappy pea sante of Calabria and the Capitanata, the wholesale murders, the remorseless waste, find an eager advo cate in Mr. Gladstone, who was melted to tears by the irons on Baron Poerio's legs. The influence of England is employed to encourage the Piedmontese Government to pursue a plan 'which must end in the ruin of Italy. We must be just ; there is one im provement in the ministerial language to notice. For the first time, as Mr. Disraeli observed, Lord Pal merston did not indulge in those mischievous clap traps about Rome which have done so much to irri tate France and mislead Italy. May we not hope that this sobriety of language on the part of the Premier is a sign of a larger change, and that al though in last night's debate the Government deemed it necessary to defend the oppression and injustice exercised in Naples, it will take an early opportunity to impress upon the Cabinet of Turin the necessity of acting justly towards the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. POST.—The proceedings in the House of Com mons on Thursday night on the Prison Ministers Bill are not without their interest and instruction. They suggest some curious reflections with refe rence to the alliance which it is scarcely disguised that some of the Conservative leaders are en deavouring to form with the Ultramontane faction in the house. The measure is one for securing to Roman Catholic prisoners the ministrations of a clergyman of their own persuasion. It is one en tirely in accordance with those principles of tolera tion and freedom which guide the whole policy of Lord Palmerston's Cabinet. It is not, however, exactly in unison with the maxims that are sup posed to find favour with the Tory party, and it is unquestionably:encountered by a very large amount of honest and sincere, although, we think, mis taken, Protestant prejudice. The great mass of the Conservative Opposition voted against the bill in every stage. Mr. Disraeli came forward on high religious grounds as its advocate. No contrast could be more marked than that which existed between the views of Mr. Disraeli and those of his followers. The right hon. gentleman was true to the new Holy Alliance, and the wishes and feelings of his Ultra montane friends were consulted at the cost of wounding the prejudices of his own party. It scarcely needed the discussion on this measure to prove the absurdity of the scheme which contem plates a party that is to embrace both Mr. Newde gate and Mr. Kendall, and Sir G. Bowyer and Mr. Pope Hennessy in its ranks. Yet every one who has watched the tactics of the Opposition leaders knows perfectly that it is upon the formation of such a party that their hopes of defeating or even embarrassing the present Ministry rest. Lord Derby was perhaps the first to enunciate this policy,when at Liverpool he declared he saw with satisfaction that the Roman Catholics were joining their natural allies—meaning the Tory party of England. The Italian question presented the point by which the followers of the Pope might be induced to rally under the banner of Lord Derby, and those who owed their political enfranchisement to the ascendancy of Liberal principles might be classed with the opponents of a Liberal Ministry. To some extent the scheme of this strange alliance has unquestionably succeeded. Roman Catholic votes have turned several elections in favour of the Conservative candidate, and the representatives of the Ultramontanes in the House are the most reli able votes of the Opposition. A question like that of Thursday evening is, however, an awkward trial of the strength of the cohesion. The leader of the Conservatives is actually compelled by the necessi ties of this exacting alliance to set himself against the convictions and the feelings of those whom he is supposed to lead. We must do the right hon. gentleman the justice to say that ho accepted the position with boldness, and gave his support to the Prison Ministers Bill with the tone of a man more desirous of conciliating Sir G. Bowyer than fearful of offending Mr. Newdegate. Had the leader of the Conservative party gone with them in refusing Roman Catholic chaplains to gaols, the "natural alliance" would certainly have been shaken. As it is the Ultramontanes may still b elieve tha t i n Mr. Disraeli they have their warmest friend, and vote with a safe conscience for the advocate of Roman Catholic chaplains and of the temporal power of the Pope. It remains to be seen whether this policy may not have alienated more than it has con ciliated. If one-half what we hear of the state of feeling in the Conservative party be true, Mr. Dis raeli may yet find that even Mr. Pope Hennessy may be secured as an ally at too dear a rate. Roman Catholics must, after all, learn the truth that for those privileges which they may fairly claim they must rely on the strength of Liberal opinions in Parliament and in the cauntry. It is to the very principles which they denounce Lord Palmerston for supporting abroad that they must appeal for protection in every case in which their religious rights and interests are concerned. They are, of alt other persons in the United Kingdom, really the most concerned in upholding Liberal principles. No course was ever more suicidal than that which places Roman Catholic members among the adhe rents of the Tories. Mr. Mure who filled the office of Lord Advocate under Lord Derby's Administra tion, made an unsuccessful attempt to damage the bill by exempting Scotland from its operation. The answer to the proposal was conclusive that it is in some of the Scotch prisons that the largest number of Roman Catholic prisoners is to be found. There was something specious in the argument that in Scotland there is no obstacle in the way at present of a Roman Catholic clergyman visiting any prisoner. But it was neutralised by the statement with which it was accompanied, that, in point of fact, the clergy do not avail themselves of the power. The very principle of the bill is that it is desirable to have prisoners visited by a clergyma n o ft h eir own persuasion, whether they express a wish for it or not. The moment it is conceded that the priso ners in point of fact have not the ben efit o f la t i h n es is e visits, the necessity for appointiq,wapasap established, and Mr. Mure's ca e se n _ re : ly that though to Roman the gaols in Scotland w ere o p C a tholic priests, the prie sts donot visit them. This shows the necessity f of appointing some one for that as we have said, the !Ilea special duty. No doubt, sure is one that suns counter to many prejudices entitled to respect. Yet we are sure that Sir George Grey has adopted a wise and manly course in in troducing it. The more liberally we deal with all mission freedomof suc h subjects at home , t he mor e effective will be our su pport abroad of those great principles of an d toleration which it seems to be the England to uphold.

On Wednesday, the Somersetshire will be the race most in demand with the public; but the lot left in are so very moderate that but little interest will be felt in the result, except by those who are present to witness it. By public running it seews odds on Canary, and the only others with a chance of beating him are Fantail and Ringwood, TOUCHSTONE —Era, The Somersetsnire Stakes, two miles, has a bad accept ance, 58 declaring forfeit out of 81 handicapped, and many of the three-yr• olds left in appear to have no chance what ever, after the running4of Haddington and Adventurer at Uhester and York, as Canary, 5 yrs, 7st 31b, when receiving but 81b. from Haddington, ran him to a neck in the Me tropolitan, and beat Adventurtr, in the same race at level weights. He is now giving but 191 b. for two years to the most moderate three-year olds, and unless his backers are served as they were at Ascot and Goodwood last year, we do not see how he can lose. J. Day has others in the stable that might do in his absence ; and W. Day also accepts with more than one candidate, so that it is pretty certain to be a family affair. Sporting News. In fact, we see nothing to beat Fantail, unless it be the best of John Day's (Canary or Portland), or Brother to Springbok. BEACON—Sporting Gazette The Somersetshire Stakes, though only 23 accepted of the 81 horses weighted, is still likely to bring a pretty good fi-ld to the post, but the handicap hardly requires any discussion, for after Canary's performance in the Metropo litan, the race seems a gift to him or his stable companion, Balham ; and failing their running, the contest is likely to lie between Fantail and Brother to Springbok. VATICINATOR—Sunday Times. On paper the race looks a good thing for Canary, but this shifty gentleman will only try once in an age, and the pub lic, moreover, are likely to appropriate the money. Canary, therefore, shall not sing for us on the present occasion. Flirtation can get the distance and is one of the likely division. For Lord Stanley, after his defeat by Star of the West, at Oxford, last year, we have no fancy. Balham appears likely to represent Danebury, which might have a worse champion. The 'Wasp colt is a doubtful runner, but should he come to the post he will take some beating, with all his weight, having more quality about him than the majority of his opponents. Blondin in another animal that we have a partiality for, though he is likely, we hear, to be reserved for something later in the season Should his owner run him, after all, we shall elect him our champion, but, in his probable absence, couple Flirtation and the Danebury Repres-mtative. FLY-BY-NIGHT-- Weekly Times, The weights apportioned to two (Balham and Canary) of J. Day's trio have such a pleasing aspect, that I shall be greatly surprised if one or other of them is not returned the winner. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Th ere are f ew of us who do not sympathise to a great extent with the language of Lord Shaftesbury, however we may withhold our assent from his conclusions. There are none who will not be glad to see so pub licly and so eloquently expressed the universal feel. ing of indignation which has been roused in this country by the treatment of the Poles, both before this insurrection and in the course of its progress. In that part of his speech, at least, Lord Shaftes bury will not be gainsayed, Lord Russell, indeed, declines to interpret the character and intentions of the Emperor Alexander by these acts, and gives him credit for the benevolent purposes which must have prompted his measures ''or the emancipation of the serfs. Lord Russell truly points out that the root from which all these oppres s i ons, an d mi series, is simply despotism, and thatand insurrections theyaretn spring a t u:air and g legitimate fruits. In judging of the facts before us, th en , we pu t as id e entirely the character or obj▪ ects of the persons en gaged in them. With them w e have nothing to do, but the facts are plain, and can not b a d i sputed or explained away. That in one night a secret con scription should seize 2,000 of the best and bravest youths of the country—that the Russian soldiers, many of them no better than savages, should by distinct orders from headquarters be dir ec t e d t o dis regard the directions of thei▪ r officers, and allowed to commit the at roc ities with which our readers are too familiar—these are acts which every man, in private or in public, out of office or in office, and of every country in the world, is not only justified in denouncing, but is bound to denounce as unjust, " horrible, and heartrending;" and none of us can refuse his sympathy with that admiration which Lord Shaftesbury expressed for the energy, patriot. ism, perseverance, and enthusiasm, of the Poles. But the more we are conscious of these feelings, the more strongly does the question press on us— What is to be done ? We feel a certain dissatis faction in sitting still and seeming unable to take any material steps to stop oppression and urge jus tice, But it is the sort of dilemma into which men are continually forced in the ordinary affairs of life. To adopt the illustration which Lord Shaftesbury quoted, a man may be perfewly conscious that his neighbour systematically and cruelly ill-treats his wife, and yet be at his wits' end to give any assist ance in the matter. He may have the strongest sympathy for the wife, and yet it may be a moral impossibility for him to interfere with anything beyond advice and moral influence. That he is un able to do more may be, and coroinually is, tc a man of high honour and spirit, the most galling part of the position; but he may none the less be unable to act otherwise. The case is precisely the same with Russia and Poland at the present time. Every im pulse leads us to sympathise with Poland, but num berless considerations of public law and public jus tice prevent our .material interference except i n t h e extromest necessity. In a coun try lik e thi s many menar o e n s t u o r v e e t ry ob s e tr r o o na roused by W e do not i n t h e . by such events as a re now going least wonder at ; but it cannot be too often enforced that it is much easier for most mun to speak than to act. Diffic u lt, h owever, as it is to act, there is one t p h u m bl g ic w o h p l in ch io m n may be be besafelydone, thoroughly, openly, and and we ar e very glad to see th a t L ord Russell insists on its efficacy. con stantly expressed, and it can be, and is sure to be, forced home on the consideration and the consciences of the Russian Emperor and the Russian Ministers. It was said in former times to be the greatest misfor tune of a ruler that he was unable to form any idea of men or affairs except from the representations of those about him, wh o m i ght b e l e d by i nterest, pre judice, or n . any other natural causes, to prevent the truth being ever thoroughly laid before their roas ter. That state o f things is impossible now, The Emperor of Russia and his Ministers cannot be igno rant of the conditi on of Polan d , or o f th e nature of the acts for whi c h t h ey are now held respo ns ib le. They cannot be d e l u d ed b y official misrepresentation. By that wonderful system which has welded E urope into one body, ev ery sent i ment of indignation, every demand for justice, every rev elation of wron g i s f 'reed under th e not i ce and on t h e conscience of th e Russian Government, H oweve r blinded the eyes of the Emperor m ay b e, suc h d e b a tes as that in the House of Lords last n i g h t mus t reach him and m ust enlighten him. If h e h as no eyes to see with i n weight of Russia, he may see, and must see, through the eyes should of the British Parliament. If the officials . there, as it is said, use words only to hide their thoughts, here, at least, they are used to express . them,. and that.w h o whole they when these expressions are embodied in diplomatic td,flioc,uiamiean,titsh, impossibleoarnidty,suitppisorted not have an influence. Right, Justice, Honour, and Humanity are ideas which rouse an answer . from one end of Europe to the other, and have . just united three nations so widely separated in . all other re spects as England, France, and . Austria. The power b yt h e of these no Emperor can resist, no at my crush, no diplomatists explain away. They rouse a voice which every man knows and fear s , w hi c h will com pel an audience even in St Petersburg, which will refuse to be binished, and which, as we belie ve with Lord Russell, will ultimately compel obedience. For the rest we are quite content, and we are sure the country will be quite content, to leave the matter in the hands of Lord Palmerston and Lord Russell. It is clear that they are acting under the keenest appreciation of the wrongs committed, and at the same time under that sense of r espons ibi l i ty wh i ch 'he importance of public action demands. The country i s we ll aware that it requi res the gre at es t possible experience and caution to manage such negotiations as are now in progress respecting Poland. It is the most characteristic virtue of Englishmen that, however strong their feelings, or . even their judgment, they patiently and loyally follow their leaders, unless it is obvious that they are being grossly misled. And if th e coun t ry was in any doubt whether its Ministers could be trusted with this matter, it can hav e no fear after Lord Russell's speech last night. W e h ave expressed our sympathy with the Poles,. and our s ense th at th ey have the right on their side, We have promised to express these feelings to the Court of St. Petersburg, and to urge the cldims cf the Poles to the Constitu tion of Alexander, or to some fixed and d e fi n it e order of national life; and yet have clearly declared that the Government cannot entertain suggestions which involve departure from existing treaties, or promise any other than mo ra l i tlfluence.

Yesterday a meeting of this institution was held, Admiral the Duke of Northumberland, K.G., presi dent of the society, in the chair. There were also present Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P., F.R.S., Admiral Sir W. Bowles, Mr. T. Chapman, F.R.S., Captain Sir E. Perrott, Bart., Mr. T. B. Potter, V.P., Ad miral W. H. Hall, C. 8., F.R.S., Mr. Montague Gore, Colonel Palmer, High Sheriff of Esser, Mr. John Griffi'h, Aduliral M'Hardy, Mr. A. Boetefeur, he Dean of Norwich, Mr. G. Lyall, M.P., Admiral Gordon, Captain Egerton, R.N., Mr. W. H. Hor ton, Captain J. R. Ward, R.N., Inspector of Life boats to the Institution, and Mr. Richard Lewis, the secretary. A reward of £ll was voted to the crew of the Seaton Carew lifeboat, belonging to the institution, for putting off in reply to signals of distress, on the night of the 12th ult., and rescuing the crew of seven men from the brig Regalia, of Whitby, which had suck during stormy weather, and in a heavy sea, off Leaton Carew. This valuable lifeboat had been the means of rescuing the crews of the follow ing wrecked vessels ;—brig Din, of Middles borough. 7; brig Mayflower, of Newcastle, 8 ; brig Providence, ofShields, 8 ; barque Robert Watson,of Sunderland, 5; and Brig Regalia, of Whitby, 7; making a total of 35 saved by that lifeboat alone. Its cost was the gift to the institution of Mr. William M'Kerrell. On being informed of the last service of the boat on the 12th ult., Mr. M'Kerrell transmitted to the society a contribu tion of £lO, and at the sama time stated how very much gratified he was to learn that the life boat had providentially been the means of saving so many lives from shipwreck, and that those ser vices had been performed without a single accident occurr ng to her brave crew. The silver medal of the institution was also voted to Mr, Robert Hood, cockswain of the Seaton Carew lifeboat, in testi- mony of his long and valuable services in tha lifeboat in saving life from wrecks. A payment of £7 7s. was also made on the Fra serburgh lifeboat tor going off with the view of rescuing the crew of the ship Genoa, of Liverpool, which, during a heavy sea and dense fog, had stranded on Rattrayhead, near Peterhead, on the night of the 12th ult. Before the arrival of the lifeboat the vessel's crew had been rescued by other means. The lifeboat had to proceed a dis tance of 15 miles to the site of the wreck against a heavy sea and head wind. The cost of this life boat, which is called the Havelock, was also pre sented to the society by Mr. M'Kerrell. Voted the silver medal of the institution, and a copy of its vote on parchment, to Mr. T. Row lands and Mr. G. Lewis, and £3 to some other men, in admiration of their brave services in wading into the surf and rescuing the crew of three men from the sloop Frances, of Cardigan, which, during a heavy gale of wind and a high sea, had sunk on Newport Sands, near Fish guard, on the 17th March. Mr. John Harries, re ceiver of wreck at Newport, had also rendered valuable assistance on the occasion, and the thanks of the institution were given to that gentleman. Voted the thanks of the institution, inscribed on vellum, to Mr. William Nicol, officer of Customs, at Appledore, and £2 to his boat's crew, for putting off with the view of rescuing the crews of two smacks which had stranded on Bideford Bar during squally weather on the 15th March. A heavy sea had struck the salvors' boat, and washed overboard one of the crew. While endeavouring to recover him a second sea struck the boat, and carried away three of her oars. She was thus completely disabled, and her crew had a very narrow escape of their lives. The crews belonging to the smacks fortunately afterwards succeeded in reaching the shore in safety. A reward of £2 10s. was likewise granted to five men for wading into the surf and rescuing, at some risk of life, a man who had been capsized from his boat, and had got entangled under it in a heavy surf off Great Yarmouth, on the 19th March. It was stated that bad it not been for the prompt and valu able services of the salvors the poor man must have perished. Various other rewards were also voted to the crews of shore boats and others for saving life from wrecks on our coasts. During the past month the institution had sent a new life-boat to Fishguard, in lieu of one previ- ously stationed there. The new life-boat had, on her way w the coast, been exhibited at Bath, where the cost of a life-boat, to be called the City of Bath, is being raised. The life-boat since her arrival at Fishguard had been tried in a gale of wind, and bad answered admirably. A free conveyance to the now and old boats had as usual been readily given by the Great Western and South Wales Railway Companies. It was reported that Mr. Thomas Clayton, of Wakefield, had presented to the institution £250, to enable it to place a larger lifeboat at Lytham, a most dangerous locality on the Lancashire coast. Capt. Ward, R.N., inspector of lifeboats of the institution, was directed to proceed to Ireland, to examine its lifeboats on the coast of that country. An interesting report was read from Capt. David Robertson, R.N., the assistant-inspector of lifeboats of the society, on its Welsh lifeboats, which he had recently visited. He found them nearly all in good order. Payments amounting to nearly £BOO having been made on various lifeboat establishments, the pro- ceedings terminated. RECENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS. (From the Illustrated London News.) The will of Viscountess D'Alte, wife of Viscount D'Alte, of the kingdom of Portugal, was proved in London, on the 22d ult., by the trustees and execu tors, Mr. Andrew M.

At the Westminster Police-court, yesterday, Viscount Itaynham, M.P. for Tamworth, accom panied by Mr. Sleigh, barrister, appeared, under the following peculiar circumstances: — Mr. Sleigh said his lordship was president of a Society for the Protection of Women and Children, of which he (Mr. Sleigh) had the honour to be the counsel. His lordship's benevolence and kindness were exceedingly well known, and it was in the exercise of those qualities which had induced him to interfere in a matter now to be brought be fore the Court. A few nights ago he saw a middle-aged woman, named Crawley, sitting near the Westminster Hospital, groaning, and appa rently in great agony, when, in consequence of some statements she made, he took her to a place for protection, and came to this Court and obtained process against her husband for assaulting and ill treating her. It was quite clear the woman, who had been daily at the Westminster Hospital, had been most brutally ill-treated —according to her statement made to his lordship when he first saw her—but now that the case was about to be called on, the woman informed his lordship that the whole of the statement which she had previously made, and which had so excited his compassion and kind ness, was untrue. He would, however, put her into the witness-box, and endeavour to ascertain the facts, if possible, from her lips on oath. Mary Ann Crawley, a respectable-looking middle aged woman, was then placed in the witness-box as complainant, and John Crawley, her husband, was placed before the magistrate as defendant. The woman, who stated that she resided at 24, Chapter-street, Westminster, was than examined by Mr. Sleigh. She said she had been sinca Thursday night week receiving medical advice at the West minster Hospital for a fracture of the ribs. On that night she was out in the street, moaning and in great pain, when Lord Raynham spoke to her, be haved very kindly to her, and obtained her shelter ; but she must say she had deceived that gentleman. She had been drinking, and fell down stairs and fractured her ribs and bruised her thigh, but she did not feel it exactly at the time. Mr. Sleigh—Did you tell Lord Raynham that the injuries which gave you so much pain had been caused by the brutal conduct of your husband—by his blows and kicks ? Complainant—l did; but, lam sorry to say, I deceived that gentleman. Mr. SleighLllid you tell Lord Raynham that on a recent occasion your husband had scalded you with a kettle of hot water ? Complainant—l did. Mr. Arnold—And was that true ? Complaint—l was boiling some rhubarb, and my husband seized it from the fire. I went to take it out of his hand, and got scalded by accident. Mr. Sleigh—You told Lord Raynham he bad thrown it over you, and showed the marks of the injury. In further examination, complainant admitted that she had also told Lord It•tynham that defen dant had ill-treated her mother. Her husband had not been guilty of any acts cf violence to her (com plainant). Ho might have pushed her, but never struck her. Mr. Arnold—What made you say your husband had ill-used you ? Complainant—l don't know. He got me out of my work. Mr. Sleigh observed that it was abominable that a gentleman of humanity and feeling should have been imposed upon—if the statement now made was true—by such an impudent tissue of falsehoods. It was not to be endured that a philanthropist was to be treated in such a manner, Mr. Arnold observed that the question for the consideration of the learned counsel would be whether, upon complainant's present statement, he would take proceedings against her for obtaining charitable contributions from Viscount Raynham under false pretences. Mr. Sleigh said he was much obliged to the ma gistrate, and would adopt his suggestion. The complainant, Mary Anne Crawley, was then placed in front of the dock. His lordship repeated the statement of finding her, as made by his counsel, and of her detail of her husband's brutality, adding that she told him she had no place to go to, and thought of throwing herself over Westminster-bridge. Finding her houseless and destitute he procured her lodging and give her money for food and clothing during her attendance at the hospital. She had told him that if be would take a warrant against her husband she would appear against him, and she bad never uttered one single word in denia l of that stateme nt until that day (yesterday). she had h done adde ceiDved theefendangt e r n e t p iern eat d e n d , sh an e dwaksnesworryshe wrong. His o pun i s h e d for what s he obtained from him. Mr. Sleigh observed that his lordship w as c l ear l y of 0 h her p i . i l on r d t s h b a i i t i s s h s o i d h e really did not wis to have w as in the need sh e suggested, and the subsequent story of her never having been ill-treated by her husband had beeil got up solely to screen him from the consequ ences of his brutality. Mr. Arnold observed that she peijury.
