ST. PETERSBURG. The Journal de St. Petersbourg contains a semi ., official article, in which it is said that the sub ; Stance and tenour of the secret correspondence pub fished in London by the British Government was long before communicated to the Sovereigns of Prussia and Austria by order of the Emperor. • The,Augsburg Gazette, which is well known for its Russian tendencies, endeavours to account for • the absence of General de Rocho w,the Prussian am. bassador, from the Te Detm lately sung at St. Petersburg in honour of the passage of the Danube, by saying that the state of his h ea lth wou ld no t • permit it, but it adds that he is now better. THE DANUBE. Prince Paskiewitch arrived at Bucharest on the 16th inst. • A. letter from Bucharest, in the Wanderer of • Vienna, states that Mr. Biagini and M. Duprat, the former an English and the latter a F r ench - au bject, had been flogged for having spoken in a disrespectful manner of the Emperor Nicholas. • They were, at the date of the letter (14th), at the Military hospital. They have not been able to lay a complaint before their respective consuls, as those functionaries are absent, and the agents left by • them in their places have received official notice . that if they continued their functions they would be transported into the interior of Russia. 1 ,• ,lIERLIN, April' 17.—According to a report from "wt. Meruni, Consul at B-lgrade, it is a mistake to .:r s uppose that the Austrians will soon enter Svia. The Servians are so jealous of the observance of their neutrality, that the entrance could not take Disee Without resistance. TURKEY IN ASIA. The constitutionnet states that the Turkish Go- Ion:1111ml has received information from Haireddin acha the commandant at Kars, that a certain ,_ 3ll Unlber of P o lish d e serters h a d ar rived in that f‘°"v, who stat e d th a t more th an 12,000 of their • fello o w-count r y men would quit the ranks of the Ruffian army the moment they should see a Polish flying in the Ottoman army.

THE GERMAN POWERS. . A. letter from Berlin says :—" On the occasion I the late overtur e s m a d e by th e C zar th rou gh . , Duke George of Mecklenburg, the Emperor . of s Austria wrote a letter to the King of Prussia, in • Which he said that the Russian propositions were not of a nature to be accepted by Austria and still less by France and England. Tile Emperor in this than he bad previously done., If Russia attempts to make progress on the tipper Danube, the Bin , peror will not hesitate fur an instant to attack A letter from Berlin, 176, in the 'Pays, says " I think I can positively affirm that, thanks to "be attitude assumed by France and England, to • the efforts which Austria is still making to induce • Vie whole. of 'Germany to unite with Europe, and ••• to the very energetic movement - produced hire in public opinion anc in the official world, the Prussian governinent hasfully subscribed to the treaty of alliance • Proposed by the Court of Vienna. It will be, I think, elearlyestahlished that, in case. Austria should have to act for toe'protection of the Ot,onian territory or her provinces; she will le supported by Prussia, her ally. Thiis, the German Powers, after having signed the pro tneole of Vienna, protested with the Wester', Powers in favour of Turkey, and against the unjust aggression 'of the Czar, will be led by the logic of their situation, of their interests, and of their anterior resolutions, to • unite in the active interveila in of France and England. 'AS I have before said, the moveineut of public opinion as become hem very favourable to the policy of the Western . Powers, I shall say nothing of the language 9f the German press, but I will affirm that, in political and iifficial circles, the partisans of Russia scarcely . 414 re to defend a cause already so much compro- I nieed. Clear and rather warm expressions have heal attributed to the Hereditary -Prince of Prussia, and the airily, which until very lately bad maintained treat • reserie, now begins to declare energetically a gainst Rus s ia n p o li c y, an d i n f avour o f t h e W es t er' . •• who have given to Eur o p e a d ou bl e exam pl e of Moderation and of firmness.. I Latta tell you, in con ,chision, that' within the last few months a complete .‘• .9iitege his taken place in Germany in public opinion Towards the French nation and its government r for a l ong time past France has never enjoyed at Vienna, al serlin, at Frankfort, and throughout Germany such a l tim e g i ate influence, an d suc h t rue s y m p a thy, as at pre gent," The following latter from Vienna appears in the • Journal de FrancOH—. " We learn from a certain source that immediately after Abe Easter holidays, the Eastern question will be carried before the Germanic Diet'. There is ho doubt that in the • Voposition which will probably be unmon to Austria and 11 °°•lit, the case of an active participation of the two If Peat German powers in the conflict will be spoken oi. that takes place, Austria and Prussia will, it is true, defend their own interests, but, at the same time, alsq, those of all Germany. perfect pro ItTety demand from the Germanic Diet t t attempt resolution, declaring that the Confederation shall that w ltn i t per shall fee 4 4 , 180 ket•p its military forces ready for such an eventua "tY. But the opinion has been accredited, or rather an has been made to cause to be credited, the opi. !lee that the participation of Austria in the combat to maintain the integrity of the Ottoman Belpre in nowise eon cerris the Germaitic Confederation, because no part of theterritory of the latter is directly menaced. Abstraction blad e of the fact that a war of Austria for the interests 5 Turkey, and, consequently, for the maintenance of the •European equilibrium, concerns essentially also the Ger manic Cohfederation, and that, c msequently, it i, equally th e duty of the latter to contribute to prevent the object of th e Confederation (which is the maintenance of foreign an d internal safety of Germany, awl the in . ,O e pendence and inviolability of the Confederated States) sem being in any way e mb arrasse d i n the present or the t tlre ,, tho-final act of Vienna contains, besides, very Positive engagetnents for all the - members of the Confe deration.. It is true Viet A rticle 46 says : 6 When a confederated state, having possessions beyond the limits Of the Confederation undertakes a war iii its quality of %European power, the Confederation, whose relatons and : obligation s are not afft oted by such a war, remains abso lutely a stranger to it.' But if Austria takes part in the War which has already broken out, she does so at the same time for the most important German interests, 'which would be greatly menaced if Russia, already so Strong, should obtain an incresse of - power. It cannot -bepretended that the active participation of Austria in the present conflict would be a war nut affecting the relations of the Confederation. It ie then perfectly within the power of the Germanic djet to deliberate on the question whether, and to what extent, the Confederation should arm itself in order to afford her a co operation eventually necessary, and to adopt on thissubject appro priate resolutions. That it; so much the mrtrue,a- Art. 47 of the final act of Vienna says :—`ln case such a. State shall be menaced or attacked in its possessions, not included in the Confed erat i on, the latter' shall not be obliged to take measures of defence or an active part in the war, until after the Diet ehall h ave recognieedin . permanent council and by the plurality of votes the exis tence of a danger for the territory of the Confederation.' 'But if a sta t e o f w ar should arise netween usable Aus tria, and eventually Prussia, it would be but little politic to. desire to wait until the Russians enter into a part of the territory of Austria or Prussia belonging to the Ger manic Confederation. A war of Russia against one of the great German powers, or against both, menace s i n a ny ease the territ o ry f the Confederation, and the Germanic Diet ahoidd adopt in advance in this re ' ' sPect the necessary resolutions- These resolutions, ae , cording to the already quoted article, and to Art. 11 of the final act of Vienna, are to be adopted by the plum "litY of votes and in permanent council. The unanimity of votes is not even necessary for a declaration of war, . f " Art. 40 ter th e sa id act says If the Confederation be o bli ged to declare war formally, the declaration can only eman a t e f rom the general assembly, voting acc ord l og to the esta b l i ehee rule, by the majority o f t h e two thirds' of the euffrauee.' Art. 41 says :--` The re-olution Pronounced in permanent councilon the reality of a dan ger of a hostile attack reamers all the confederate" States responsible 'for the measures of defence which the Diet ma have j u d ge d necessary. Si, likewise, the derlara , Lio n o f all war pron ounce d in ageneral assembly core.titutes r tle confed erate State. active parties in the common 74 • Finally, Art. 42 is thus conceived :—lf the pre . d es _9 B questioci relative to the existence of the danger be ona#ed negatively by the majority o f vo t es , those of the 7 4federated States who do not share the opinion of the !_e.viority preserve th e r i g h t o f concerting between them es measures o f common defence.' Let us hope, how !r, that in the Diet and on the subject of the attitude Germanic Confeder a ti on i n the midst of the pre like European crisis, as a l so on t h e subject of the war- .ait..., -- easures necessary Jre b eing a b le in case of neces . of Y:o support Aust r i a an d P russ i a, an imposing majority . , if not nuaeimity, will be obtained. If this tacit he the case, the kicond passage of Article 2 of the final act of Vienna shmild he struck out—for it says, tote , : a collective power, e,t,hii-hed on a principle of political unity.' It evidently the duty of all the Ger man Governments, without exception, to cause this to be a truth. The moment has arrived for that ! Let us hope that it will not be allowed to escape !" THE GREEK INSURRECTION. The followin! , joint note was addressed by the am bassadors of ? the foie powers to the Foreign Minister of Greece in support of the note of Nechet Bey " TO M. PAICOS, MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS. " Sir,—Our colleague of Turkey has just communi cated to us the new note which he has addressed - to you by order of his government. Amidst circumstances so serious we feel compelled, sir, to repeat that which we have uniformly told you respecting the very decided views of our Government respecting the unpleasant events which have taken place for this month past, and the grave responsibility which the - Government of his. Hellenic Mijesty would take upon` itself, if; considering the great comiSlaints of the Sublime Porte, it should not -hasten to put an end to a state of things which must inevitably entail incalculable misfortune on this' 'Conn try.—We are, &c., (Signed) B. LECKHAM, Baron FORTH ROIIBN, T. WYSE, N. DR TEMP,. " Athens, March 20, 1854." News was receivedyesterday, ;lays - a :Constanti nople letter of the 10th inst.,.that the Arnaut sol r iers at Prevesa had salliedout,.burned 15 villages, - massacred the men, violated the women, and car - - ried off everything valuable. The British Arabes sador is said to have been extremely indignant at this outrage, and to have demanded of the Porte the immediate and exemplary punishment Ofthe °Tend ers. The cruelties committed on both sides in this dreadful struggle seem to equal any that took place during the former revolution. No prisoners are • taken, and not unfrequently women and children share the fate of these captured.with arms in their hands. No reliable accounts reach this place as to the progress of the movement, but it seem; to be extending in area and deepening in ferocity. Un less the troops lately sent fur from Egypt succeed in restoring tranquillity, there seems no likelihood of a speedy close to these troubles, for the Porte will require every available man for the Danube and the Caucasus, while the insurgents are receiving addi tions to their numbers every day. Turee-fourths of the Hellenes expelled from C..ustantinople and Smyrna will probably, set off for the frontier imme- diately on arriving at the Pirmus. Subscriptions are being openly made in Athens for the purpose of the war, and perspns of all ranks are eoutributing largely to what is represented as a patriotic struggle. Even those who disapprove of the movement are obliged by the popular excitement to lend their aid. The Court, . even if inclined to oppose the movement, is totally powerless. That the signal of insurrection has been given by the Czar is probable enough, but the outbreak is not the less a national movement, and has been long expected by all acquainted with the'eountry. The publication of the secret correspondence between the Czar and the English Ministry has opened the eyes of the educated to the fully of exp cting the independence of their country from Russian aid ; but, the great body of the people, led by their priests, still consider the cause of Nicholas as their own, and count upon his sincerity and the promises he has made in their favour. The clergy are almost all Russian partisans, and the Czar stands high in their favour on account of his supposed devotion to the Church, and by means of a judi cious distribution of ecclesiastical furniture, in the shape of plate and altar cloths, to the poorer churches throughout Turkey and Greece. FRANCE. DEPARTURE OF THE FRENCH FLEET. The Baltic fleet has sailed from Brest for the Gulf of Finland. It conveys the expeditionary force, consisting of infantry, artillery, and 1,790 horses. The fleet includes 23 ships, and 1,250 guns. • The French naval force in the Black Sea is 26 ships, 1,120 guns, and 4,960 horses ; and the second squadron, under Admiral Bruat, 10 ships, 622 gun&, and 2,880 horses ; upon the two seas the French have a total strength of 56,000 men, sailors and marines, and the English an equal force. The Emperor received on Wednesday, at a pri vate audience, the Count de Hatzfeldt, EnvoY Ex traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary . of the King of Prussia; who presented to . his Majesty a. letter from his Sovereign. Of the contents of the letter, which is, in all probability, the reply of the ing of Prussia to the communication recently made to him, there is as yet little known out of doors. It is stated in official quarters that the document in question has given " satisfaction," though it is admitted that it contains no pledge that Prussia will take part against Russia when hostilities commence Hew it can be eralied satisfactory it is hard to say. Di reste, the reception given to the official bearer of the Royal missive is described as being of the most distinguished kind. His Excellency was intro duced by the great staircase, and the soldiers on guard beat to arms to receive him. The Emperor and Empress honoured the Gymnase with their presence on Wednesday evening. The Monitettr,after, announcing the departure of the Duke of Cambridge for Vienna, on his way to the East, states that his Royal Highness is accom panied by the Marquis de Toulongeon, orderly officer to the Emperor. The Duke of Cambridge arrived at Strasburg yesterday Morning ou his way to Vienna, it is eiid, to congratulate the Emperor on his marriage; and. Daft again at half-past 10 for Frankfort, accompanied by one of the Emperor's aides-de-camp. It is scarcely dountful, although many circum stances may be thought to combine to render such :an event extraordinary, that he is going to stay at Vienna to be present at the Emperor of Austria's marriage. M. de Hubner, the Austrian Minister, left 'iris ou Tuesday avowedly for that purpose, on a conge of ten days. Another explanation of the route taken by the Duke, to which little credit is attached, was circulated at the Bourse. It was said that he would not stop at Vienna, but was making the best of his way to Belgrade, and thence to Outer Paella's camp, where he would arrive before any English troops. Another version is, that he is merely going to Trieste in order to have a shorter sea passage to Constantinople._ There is little doubt, however, that he will stay in Vienna for the Imperial marriage. Very Pasha, the Turkish Ambassador, has re turned from Toulon. The Hercule and the Trident have arrived from Toulon at Brest, to join the squadron of Admiral Parseval Deschenes. Prince Napoleon, before quitting Marseilles, paid a visit to the hospital, and when there ex pressed much interest in the situation of a gendarme who had the day before been thrown from his horse whilst forming part of the escort of his • Imperial Highness. After travelling by post from Marseilles to Toulon, the Prince got on horseback at a short distance from this latter place, and entered the town .in pro - cession, ao• companied by. all the civil and military autho rities, who had come out to meet him. The next day, being Easter Monday, the PrinCe, early in the morning,, visited the vessel which is to con vez , him to the East. At ten o'clock he heard mass at the church of St. Louis, .shortly after re-_ viewed the troops, and then went round the har bour iu the Solon steamer. In the evening a grand dinner was given at the Admiralty, at whic;i were present Vely Pacha, the Turkish Ambassador ; General Furey, commander of the reset ve division of the army of the East ; General d'Aurelles de Paladines ; Admiral Lugeol, the Prefect of the Var ; and a number of the principal func tionaries of the place. At the dessert, Admiral Dubourdieu, the Maritime Prefect of Toulon, pro posed the health of the Emperor and of Prince Napoleon. His Imperial Highness acknowledged the compliment, and then proposed the following toast :—" To the Navy, the noble sister of our land army, which is about to play so great a part in the war against the Russians. To the brave Admiral Dubourdieu, who must permit me to remind him here that our two fathers fought together fifty years ago, on board the Wteran, in the first ware of the Empire !"

The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the 15th mentions, from Parma, the somewhat improbable statement that the father of the late Duke Charles 111. has objected to the present arrangement by which the Duchess is Regent for her son Robert 1., on the ground that he had abdicated in favour of his son, and not of his grandson. Field-Marshal Raraetzky arrived at Venice on the 13th on his way to Vienna. The Giornale di Roma, of the 12th, contains a list of works Condemiied by the Holy Congregation of the Index. The author of a book entitled " Ad monition against the - Innovations and Exaggera tion, of the Catholic Church of Germany," M. Joseph Buckard. Leu, which was - condemned on the 13th of February last, has since made-his-sub mission, and acknowledged his errors. A: letter from, Rome, of the 10th, in the Parla mento of Turin, contradicts the statement which has : appeared in all the papers, that the persons implicated in the affair of Count Rossi's murder had been already condemned to various punish ments. The fact, according to this correspondent, is, that no sentence- whatever has been hitherto pronounced ; but that an opinion had been emitted by the First Chamber of the Tribunal of the Consulta, which may .have led to the false report adverted to a.; : the more so; as the sittings had been interrupted, which led many to believe they had been closed. This suspension of the sittingi was caused by one of the defendants offering to make some disclosures ; but they were resumed some days after, when it was announced by the Advocate-General that the disclosures which had been made did not affect the main question, and could only be regarded as an incident. But the ad vocates for the defence having applied for a copy of the said disclosures, these were refused by the pre sident of the court, whereupon the former withdrew with a protest, and the sittings were again ad journed.

The Gazette published, tinder its official head, a declaration from the Bank, of St. Ferdi nand to the effect that there had never been the slightest ground for the uneasiness respecting it manifested by the public, and which, for three days, had caused a great run on the establishment. It states that its affairs are in the most satisfactory state, that its relations with the Government areon the best footing, and that it will continue' to meet all its engagements. The Junta of Commerce has also published a declaration that it has examined the accounts of the Bank, and finds that it is fully provided with the means of paying in specie all claims that can be made upon it. .MANSION-110USE.-(THIS DAY.) THE CHARGE OF RECEIVING TEN THOUSAND POUNDS WORTH OF STOLEN GOODS. This morning, as soon as the night charges had been disposed of, Moses Moses, of No. 30, Gravel-lane, Hounds ditch, general dealer, was placed at the bar of this court, before Mr. Alderman Moon, who sat in the place of the Lord Mayor, upon examination, charged with having been found in possession of an immense quantity of pro perty, forming portions of the proceeds of nearly all the robberies which have occurred in the metropolis for a long time past. • Mr. Ba lantine, Mr. Medina, and Mr. Barnet, in structed by solicitors, were for the accused. The Court was densely crowded, in consequence of the highly respectable character borne by the prisoner, who has been a large purchaser of stores from Government. The fresh evidence gone into this day, up to the time of our going to press, was that of a burglary at Messrs. Hargreaves, shawl and Manchester warehousemen, of Gresham-street, which took place upon February 14, when shawls and other goods, hr value nearly 400 i., stolen. The burglary was effected by the thieves forcing an entrance from the front'door, and got clearoff. •Inforrnation was given to the police, and upon the prisoner's plaCe being searched, nearly the whole bulk of the property, done up in parcels as origi nally sent ; wa's found. The case of receiving the bale of wool, value 201., stolen from Mr. Bates' warehouse, and which led to prisoner's apprehension, was also completed ; and from the evidence of Mr. Chadwick, who acted as agent,Snd was first charged with this . offence, it apPeared that when prisoner gave him some samples of the stolen. Ware, he . (Mr.' Chadwickytoek them to the person from whom. they were stolen. .The prisoner, in his defence, said he left his case in ,the hands of his professional advisers. He. was fully committed.for trial upon several charges, and there will be a great many more preferred against him upon his trial. . TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Edinburgh, 17th April, 18M, 25, Scotland-street. SIR,—In 'your paper of the 11th curt, there was a paragraph, headed "Has execution by hanging been survived ?" On reading the paragraph, it brought to my recollection of having beard and read years ago of a woman who was hanged here, as was believed, and who revived after being carried from the gallows :--This took place in 1724. By the kindness of a friend who put into my hands the annals of , Edinburgh and Leith from 1340 to 1839, I am now enabled to give you the particulars as I therein find them. " Execution and re swcitatiou 'of Margaret . Dickson.— She belonged to Musselburgh; and was executed for child-murder. After being suspended for the usual time, she was cut down, and her body given to her friends, who sent it in a cart, to be interred in her native place. While the party in charge of the cart were taking some refreshme',t at Pepper Mill, two miles from ELburgh, she forced the lid of her coffin and sat up, which 'so astonished the spectators, that most of them ran off. She . was then put to bed, and next day w.dked to Musselburgh. a dis tance, of 5 ,wiles from Pepper Mill. She lived till the year 1753, and was well known by the name of Half- . haog'd Maggie Dickson.' " Baron Hume, in treating of sentence and execution, iu his work on crimes (vol. 2, - p. 476), refers to the case, and so does'Sir Archibald Alison, in his book on crimi nal law.—Your obedient servant, THOS. RENTON. REPRESENTATION OF HASTlNGS.—Political parties in Hastings are busy preparing for an election, consequent upon the intended acceptance of the Chiltern Hundreds, immediately after the reassembling of Parliament; by one of the present members. The Liberals have put themselves in communication with Mr. Locke, who un successfully contested the botoutzh at the last election ; while, on the Conservative side, Mr. Alexander J. Beres ford Hope, Mr. Crake, and Mr. W. D. Sbadwell, have been spoken of. Rumour has also pointed out Mr. F. North as a probable candidate on the moderate Conser vative interest. ST. PANCRAS ALMSHOUSES.—The committee of the Building Fund of these almshouses hired the Princess's Theatre for Tuesday, when there was a large attendance of the patrons and friends of the institution. It is in tended to afford accommodation to 106 inmates, without regard to religion or country. The total cost of the building is estimated at 2,2501.; of this sum 1,0001. has been subscribed and paid for the ground ; a similar sum to carry on the building has been advanced on the per sonal responsibility of one of the committee, .so that there is a deficiency of 5001. REMOVAL OF THE. CAST OF THIC 4TATIJE OF RICHARD Ccsua DE LEON FROM THE NEW PALACE YARD.—Yes- • terday morning a number of workmen were engaged in pulling down the cast which was placed in New Palace yard of the colossal equestrian statue of Richard Coeur de Leon (wych attracted considerable notice at the Great Exhibition). Sir C. Barry was, we believe, opposed to the cast remaining there any longer, and to the putting up of the statue itself on the same site, because it did not harmonise with the building. Daring the day the horse and figui.e were removed, and before night the pedestal will be demolished and taken away. THE INDIA AND CHINA. MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, Thursday.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Ripon, Captain' Moresby, left this afternoon with the heavy portion of the India and China mails. On freight the Ripon has for Government purposes, 50,0001. in specie, 200 boxes of ball cartridge, 29 packages of camp equippage, seven cases of medical stores, and some packages of military clothing.

Mr. Rathbone, jun., moved the adoption of the report. He argued that the Liberal interest possessed by far the' majority of the thinking and reading portion of the inhabitants, s i n ce, while the apregata circulation of the Tory newsp + - pers was only 330,000, that of the Liberals was 1,400,000. Mr. C. E. Rawlins, jun., seconded the mo tion, which was adopted. Mr. Crossfield moved, and Mr. Finch seconded, the appointment of officers for the ensuing year,— Mr. Swart being re-elected president. Mr. W. Rathbone, sen., then moved a resolution - in fa vour of r. reform in the representation, and expressing a confidence in Ministers that they would, when the ques tion could be discussed with calmness and due delibera tion, lay a suitable ineasuYe before the country, Mr. W. Earle seconded the resolution. Mr. Stewart moved a resolution urging the necessity of a proper organization of the wards. He confessed that the Tories were better organized than the Liberals, and declared his conviction that the former Might be defeated if the latter would only organization, • Aladoiptthev.irgeloroolaucnela=scarrof w i s. o r d d u -u 4 i n o ixa n a o n ui d loyr,g RAawAri.

OUR NAVAL .RESERVE. A full account has been given of the , powerful fleets which have been designated for service in the Black Sea and the Baltic. We do not suppose it likely that they will prove inadequate for the hot work they will have to encounter ; but even if they do, and supposing both of those magnificent fleets should be destroyed, we have ample material in our home ports to supply their places. From our ships in reserve and building we could form a naval force far surpassin g that which any other nation in the world can boast of having afloat. We give the _following lists, re marking though some of the vessels may not without considerable repairs be in a state to send to sea, yet that most of them are excellent sea-going vessels—far supe rior indeed to anything Russian—and could be fitted out for service on very short notice YESSELS IN RESERVE.

PAUL'S-OHURCRYARD.—A cor respondent of a contemporary says the Society of Archi tects have called a special meeting to consider the ques , tion , as, to appeals to the authorities of the City to keep uncovered with houses the space of ground now bared And, lying ,west of Old 'Chapge, and between New Can non-street and St. Paul's-churchyard. The surveyor ; and architect to the Cathedral chimes in with the general suggestion on-the subject. The corporation is not dead (he adds) to the beautiful and picturesque. They are not steeped to the teeth in utilitarianism, as is generally supposed. The following fact is full of hope, and indi cates•the existence of a certain amount of good taste and right judgment. much ,t . o be admired :—At the end of Newgate-street, opposite St, Martin's-le:Grand, stands a block of buildings, which, uutil lately, shut out the view of the Cathedral from that point. Oneof the houses either fell down or was pulled down to prevent its Tailing, and threugh the chink thus-made the glory of the dome of St. Paul's was revealed in all its majesty. So striking was the effect produced that one branch of the corpora tion purchased the . site of the house, with the view of ultimately throwing open the whole area. between the Post-office and the Cathedral. To effect this will require an expenditure of probably 50,0001. to 80,0001. Y e t the Improvement Committee, for the sake of some 30,0001. or 40,000/. is said to be contemplating the sale of the ground now in their possession on the south side, • which, if accomplished, will be a lasting disgrace, as it Win for ever close up that noble View of out. metropoli tan church. Should the City concede this point, there , are good reasons for believing that the Cathedral autho rides will set b a ck the railings at, the end of Ludgate.. street, and give a wider space for the crushing traffic of' that locality. Nor is it improbable that ere long the 'entire railing will be set back, and the elevated groun d o f the churchyard brought down to the l eve l of the ad joining streets, which, when Tamed over and op ened to thepublic, will not only f ac ilit ate pedestrian tra ffic, but grea tly improve the health o f the neighbourhood.

HENLEY-ON-THAMES, Aran 20.—At the magistrates' chamber, this day, Mr. Henry Wilson, of Gilletts, presiding, Williant Smith, hawker, was charged, at the instance Of <the Royel Society for the I"reve.rition of Cruelty to Animals, with wantonly tortured a dog. From the evidence of a local police constable, it appeared that the prisoner was seen on the Previons afternoon on the caversham• road, near Reading, cruelly beatirig a dog att ached to a cart in which were three cwt. of old iron. The dog was in an exhausted state, scarcely able to move, and having at length Sunk under the weight of its load, the pri :soner kicked the poor brute with great violence, and afterwards, attaching it by a rope 'to the back of his cart, dragged it along by main force. When appre hended lie offered to drown the dog if the officer would allow him to escape. The prisoner had nothing to say i n reply to the charge, but began blubbering, and implored forgiveness. The magistrate considered that an act of great brutality had been proved against the prisoner. The dog-cart nuisance had become an intolerable pest throughout the country districts, and he wass frequentlyc o n v i f u r c ed o m that the dreadful malady of h ydrophobiawa caused by the horrible ' treatment dogs experienc e d persons of the prisoners class. Not only on account, of the abominable cruelty he had practised on the helpless animal in the present case, but for the safety of the public generally, he felt it his duty to make an example of the prisoner, upon whose future conduct he hoped the punishment he was about to inflict would have a whole some effect. The sentence was that he be impyisoned and kept to hard labour for one month in the county gaol. The prisoner was immediately sent off to Oxford Castle. - , _ 61'.A1 3 Eit ;,..= • , vCci'eav, • 14 ' 1 ' 4 961 7r:, Li m • • LIL - 3 ,-; • A.F., .0 1 !
