GERMANY. The Secoad Chamber of Prussia terminated on the sth the discussion on the Bill on the press. All the liberal amendments proposed by. the Committee were rejected; and some clauses were introduced of greater severity than had been adopted by the F irst Chamber. The Swabian Mercury states that a number of furloughs have been granted to soldiers in the Bava rian army. More than 3,000 men have already availed themselves of this permission, and it is thought 12,000 more will follow their example. A letter from Berlin of the sth, in the Indepen dance of Brussels, says—" The King of H ANOVER i s expected in this city. A few days ago, his MAJESTY attended the baptism of the hereditary Prince of MECKLEMBURG . at Ludwigslust. Th e K ING h as be come very aged in appearance, and h e h a d t o b e sup ported during the eeremony; in the fete which fol lowed, which was brilliant, he fell into a profound slumber." The Prussian Gazette, under date of Vienna 4th, says :—" It is not true, as has been announced, that Denmark wishes to enter into the Germanic confe deration with all her states. It is stated that King OTHO is named colonel of the regiment of infantry, vacant since the death of General WoimemiuTu. All that the journals have said on the subject of a pre tended conference between the Minister of Finance and M. DE ROTHSCHILD is incorrect. M. DE ROTTIS CHILD is not here, but only his son, who lives very retired. It is stated that the journey of the ErvirEft" into Gallicia will not take place very shortly, Thebut d nothing certain is k nown on the subject. Council of the E m pi re w ill fi rs t c ome to a decision on some financial questions, the law on the press, and the revisio n o f communa l constit u tions. Several foreign Princes and Sovereigns are shortly expected here." SWED EN ' The Diet of Sweden in recent sittings has been oe. cupied in discussing the Budget, votediandn for threeconnexion with it the civil list, which isonly years at a time. O n the 29th ult., a demand of th e Government for an increase of 36,000 fr. as pin -money for the Princess Royal, was brought forward. The Committee on the Budget had recommended that it should be voted, but the orders of the burghers and peasants refused it, on the ground that the contract of marriage of the Prince and Princess Royal had not been communicated to them. Although the Government had not demanded any increase of the civil list of the young Royal Fa- Di lly, some members of the nobility and clergy de manded that a sum of 60,000 f. should be allowed them. The Committee on the Budget proposed to reduce the sum to 15,000 f., and the orders of the nobles and clergy voted that amount ; but the orders of the burghers and peasants rejected it, and made some sharp observations on the impropriety of such demands being made by individuals. These re solutions created great sensation at Stockholm ; they were considered as a demonstration against the Prince Royal, who, iti appears,", is' not favourable to proposed reforms in the representative institutions of the country. The King of SWEDEN and NORWAY, in compliance with the request of the Diet of the latter country, has authorised it to prolong its session until new orders. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal.) There has been a languid tone about the market this week-the cause of which is not very apparent, but the effect shows itself, not only in a diminished business, but in a diminished inquiry for all kinds of shares, and with. a stronger disposition to sell than to purchase. Possibly. attention from general business pursuits is diverted by Ea leading object in the western outskirts of the metropolis; or it may be that the sudden stop put to some further attempts to raise large premiums on new mining setts, c r revivals of old mines, has produced a shock in tb e sphere of the parties engaged in them; but which w hail with satisfaction as indicative of a better order fxF things. The Mining e:xchange List has undergone a augmentation of numbers; and we have no doubt thei are yet many good concerns which will be added, aft. !:c due inquiry into their merits on the part of the cemmitta a In the Metal-market copper is firm, and in good de mand. Lead remains unaltered. No improvement hue taken place in tin, and prices can only be considered lit e minal. Spelter is dull, and the imports continue heavy. Yellow metal sheathing in fair demand. Refined metei: l very difficult of sale. The great feature of the week in mining affairs he .a been the seventh annual meeting of the Devon Gret ii Consols Company.

THE COMMAND-IN-CHIEF AT MADRAS.—The ill health of Lieutenant-General Sir George Berkeley i having compelled him to resign his command, the office has been bestowed on Lieutenant-General Sir Richard Armstrong. This officer was Lieutenant-Colonel of the 26th Cameronians some twenty years ago, and for some time commanded at Bangalore. He was also through out the campaign in Burmab. On his return home, he was appointed to command a district in North America, where he rendered good service, and upon relinquishing the command received a warns expression of thanks from the municipal authorities of Kingston. Previous to his proceeding to India, he had seen a considerable amount of ' service in Europe. He was in the Peninsula from August, 1808, to the end of the war in 1814, serving at Oporto, Busaco, the actions of Pombal and Redinho, th e defence of Alba de Tormes, battles of Vittoria, the Pyrenees and Toulouse. Sir Richard's India experience will be of value to himself and the Madras army, but the infirmities of age have crept upon him, and may inter fere with the active discharge of his new duties. The Duke of Wellington must sadly feel the necessity of a new Brevet, when called upou to name officers for com mands in which rank, as well as physical capability, are indispensable. THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF AT SHEERNESS.—We be lieve that the successor to Vice-Admiral the Hon. G. Elliot, C. 8., Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness, will not be appointed until after the:House of Commons' discus sion on the new scheme of naval retirement. Vice- Admiral the Hon. Josceline Percy, C. 8., we hear is still the favourite. GOOD SERVIGE PENSIONS.—It is well known that there are at present in the gift of the First Lord of the Admiralty two Good Service Pensions—one for an Ad miral and another for a Captain. It is believed, however, that they will not be given away until after the retire ment has been considered. It is not,at all unlikely that they will be absorbed in a new general pension fund, in which the Royal Marines will most deservedly have some better share than they hold at present. SUSPICIOUS CRAFT.—WO stated last week that her Majesty's steam-vessel Lucifer, Lieutenant Commander Jackson, had been ordered to the coast of Donegal, from Cork. iVe understand that this movement is in conse quence of the appearance of a very suspicious-looking craft in that quarter, with long black hull and rigged like a lugger. After a short time the Lucifer proceeds to the Isle of Man to protect the fisheries. FLAGS AT THE MAlN.—There are no less than four full Admirals in active employment at the present mo ment; and in the course of a few days, when the intelli gence of the promotions shall have reached the Mediter ranean and West Indies, there will be four Admirals' flags flying at the mainmasts of the respective flag ships. TROOPS FOR THE CAPE.—It was rumoured at the Horse Guards yesterday, that the 2d, Queen's Royal Regiment, is to embark for the Capo of Good Hope. SECURING HEAVY GuNs.—ln consequence of the heavy armaments now becoming general in the service, the Admiralty have ordered that in future all men-of war are to be fitted with an eye-bolt between each ring bolt on the lower and main decks. LAVA FOR TRAMWAYS.—A foreign firm, Messrs. Orsi and Armani, have proposed to the Government a metallic lava as a substitute for granite on tramways; and the Admiralty have ordered its properties to be tested at Woolwich, and to be reported upon by the dockyard officers. STAFF OF IRELAND.—Major-General His Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge, K.G., has returned to Dublin from leave of absence in England, and resumed the command of the district. Major-General Thomas E. Napier, C. 8., has returned to Limerick from leave of absence in Dublin, and resumed the command of the district. OFFICERS UNDER ORDERS FOR INDIA.

THE ROYAL ACADEMY DINNER. - On Saturday last the members of the Royal Academy of Arts gave their snnirer,rtry di nner at their apart ments in Trafalgar-square. It was attended by a numerous assemb:age of guests, among whom were— N His Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Lord Chancellor, ;as the First Lord of the Treasury, th e S ecre t ar i es o f St ate . for the Home, Foreign, and Colonial Departments, the Secretary-at-War, the Lord Steward, the Lord Chains berlain, the Speaker, the President of the Board of Trade, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the First Com missioner of the Land Revenue, the Belgian, Danish, Portuguese, Sicilian, and Prussian Ministers, the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, the Master of the Rolls, the Lord Chief Baron, the Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, the Governor of the Bank, the Chair man of the East India Company, the Chairman of the Board of Customs, the Master and Warden of Dulwich College. the President of the Society of Antiquaries, the President of the College of Physicians, the President of the College of Surgeons, the Field Officer-in-Waiting.

Forster, J. H. 134 Green, &c. ;% The chair was of course occupied by tho new Presi - dent of the Royal Academy, Sir CHARLES LOCK EAST LAKE, who, after the Queen's health had been drunk with all loyal enthusiasm, proposed the health of the ce. Prince Consort as follows :—I have now, gentlemen, the honour to propose to you " The health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal Fa t roily." His Royal Highness's liberal and habitual 1% encouragement of art is universally known. If that • disposition on the part of his Royal llighnesa be greatly attributable to a genuine love for the fine arts, it also • arises, I venture to say, from a conviction of their utility as auxiliaries in the national work of education. The same enlarged view looks to the benefits to be derived from the application of art and of science to manufac • tures, and sees in that application the elements of social 14 improvement as well as commercial advantages. The • great scheme for bringing together the productions of the world's industry, the interesting results of which most of those whom I have the honour to address have already had the gratification of inspecting, owes its success hitherto to the support which it has received from his Royal Highness —a support, gentle men, which has been manifested not in a mere nomi nal patronage, not alone in good wishes, but also in an active participation in the labour of superintend ence. And, with reference to such labours, let me be per mitted to add that, in the performance of official duties undertaken by him, his Royal Highness brings to the subjects requiring his attenti on not only knowledge and intelligenes, but equanimity and benevolence—qualities calculated at all times to promote the satisfactory dis patch of business and to effect the solution of difficulties, but which, in one of his Royal Highness's exalted sta tion, acquire a much higher value from the admirable influence of such an example. The PRINCE replied to the toast in a speech which was received with much enthusiasm. Ihreaid—Mr. President, my Lords, and Gentlemen, you have been very kind in responding with so much warmth to the toast which your President has just proposed to you, and he will allow me to thank him very cordially for the flattering expressions which he used towards myself in introducing to you that toast. I shall feel very happy if the future should prove that the Great Exhibition, to which all nations have so generously contributed, should, among other advantages which I firmly hope will result from it, likewise tend to assist in the promotion of the fine arts in this country, of which you are the representatives; and I feel proud that we can show to the many foreigners who aro now visiting our shores specimens cf British art such as these walls display. Although I have, since my first arrival in this country, never once missed visiting the exhibition of the Royal Academy, and have always derived the greatest pleasure and instruction from those visits, it is but seldom thAt my engagements will allow me to join in your festive dinner. I have, however, upon this occasion, made it a point to do so, in order to assist in what may be considered the inaugura finis festival of your aewly-elected president, at whose election I have heartily rt joiced, not only on account of my high estimate of his qualities, but s an author, alsts on account of my feelings of regard to w ard s hi m as a man, for Jae:, that also s o P"""allY. It wo u ld b e p resumptuous i n me to spea k to you of his talent as an artist, for that is well known to sun, and of it you are the best judges; or of his merits a esti mate; but for you ar e a ll f am ili ar w i t h hi s b oo k s — or, at least, ought for nine years, on her 3 a ; yy o o r ue 0 of w no e h s xt havei his o n a amiablehad hi h r a , r a n c ot opportu nitiesewr Majesty's has Commission enabled the Promotion of th e Fi ne know what you can know less, and what is of the greatest value in a President of the Royal Academy —I mean that kindness of heart and refinement of feeling which guided him in all his communications, often most difficult and delicate, with the different artists whom we had to in vite to competition, whose works we had, to criticise, The Duke of WELLINGTON acknowledged the toast of " the Army and Navy ;" and expressed the pleasure with which he met the gentlemen of the Royal Academy, and witnessed the productions of their art. The toast of " The city of London" called up Lord J. RUSSELL, who, " in the absence of my Lord Mayor," returned thanks; remarked on the importance of such exhibitions as that of the Royal Academy in contribut ing to popular education, and announced his intention, as a Minister of the Crown, to use every means within his power to throw open to the people the civilizing in fluence of the fine arts. The Duke of NEWCASTLE returned thanks for the visitors, and M. VAN DE WEYER for the Foreign Ministers. The Chevalier BUNSEN proposed " Success to the Great Exhibition," which was responded to by Lord GRANVILLE, with many earnest allu4ions to the unwearied energy and ability by which its illustrious originator had secured its success. Mr. MACAULAY and Sir ROBERT INGLIS returned thanks for the honorary members of the Academy; and the toasts of " Literature " and the " Drama" were acknowled by I.lr. DICKENS and Mr. MACREADY. " The Royal Society" was (in the absence of Lord Bosse) acknowledged by Sir RonEnicx MultcrusoN; " The Society of Arts," by his Royal Highness Prince ALBERT; " The Society of Antiquaries," by Lord MA IION; and " The 13:itish Institution : " by Loft] CARLISLE. Towards the closo of the evening, in speaking to the toast of " The Possessors of Collections of Pictures who occasionally throw open their Galleries to the Pub lic," Lord WESTMINSTER stated that his gallery was open every Thursday to those who honoured him by desiring to view it, and regretted that he could not throw open its contents more frequently. He agreed in all that had fallen from Lord John Russell on the subject, and expressed the interest with which he viewed the pre valence of that good understanding among the artists of all countries which the Great Exhibition was sure to extend, and of which the presence of two pictures by Russian artists in the Academy exhibition of this year was a gratifying evidence. Sir Charles Eastlake quitted the chair at ten o'clock, and the meeting broke up. Although want of room may be pleaded as an excuse for the absence of reporters, the regret expressed after the entertainment by the guests themselves, that no re cord would be preserved of such a meeting, will probably lead the Council of the Academy to reform the timid and exclusive habits to which they have so long adhered. DE BERIOT IN PARIS. -CLOSE OF THE ITALIAN SEASON. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) De B er i ot was Our Italian esason finally closed, on Saturday week, with a concert, i n which thecelebrated heard in Paris for the first time for many y ears , an d amply justified the enthusiasm of his ancie n t a d m i rers, while his superb delighted beyond ex p ress i on playing pervaded his entire perfor mance, all those who had never before heard the g roa t v i o li n i st. The power and sweetness of his tone, the combined fire and musical delicacy feeii a go which h c i h s execution, and, abov e a ll, t h e elicited transports of applause, an d fully e his well-k nown T remolo, me rited the warmth of his audience, excess i ve as it was. M. de Beriot left us but ono cause of regret—th at h e o galned inergau, ed with raptur ous p l aud i ts by the whichnly played w as r e a d s e in a entire suite. We could have desired to hear some of his compositions of a later date. The achi evements of his three pupils, who play in unison, went off with the us ua l éclat. M. Gottschalk'a execution on the piano is knows to you in London; I need, therefore, only say that it was a distinguished feature in tn! soirée. De Beriot's play ing carried the evening off triumphantly, and thus closed the spring season of 1851; the conclusion of which de rived an unexpected splendour from the success of Signora Cravelli, which has been brilliant almost beyond example; and on the whole, though from the lateness of the period at which the theatre was placed in the hands of Mr. Lumley it was found impossible to organize a troupe, as it would have been under other circumstances, and will be in future, we have to thank the impresario for a delightful season. In addition to that greatest of Parisian favourites, Lablache; he has introduced to us the matchless Sunteg, Caroline Duprez, Mme.Fiorientini, Mme. Montenegro, and the brilliant Cravelli, who though not, so fer as I have heard, a revolutionist, or even a democrat, seems destined to shatter " l ong estab lished thrones"—operatic, of course—on her advent in London. The '6 bright particular star" of our season was, however, La Sontag, whose surpassing powers never surely shone out so brilliantly, or under such varied as pects. As the season advanced she seemed more and more at home with the Parisian public, and her singing was attended with that rare and indefinable charm ,of appearing to yield the gracious vocalist as much plea sure as it afforded her hearers. We have to thank Mr. Lumley for more than all this—for having by his tact, talent and energy raised the theatre at on ce f rom t h e de plorable state in which it had been thrown by the revo lution, and subsequent unfortunate management. It be came at once the resort of all the rank, wealth, and fashion of the capital, and the Theatre Italien was, in fact, the only spot in Paris which recalled the splendour of days gone by, Mr. Lumley . commences his next season on the Ist of October, with every premise of a brilliant result. THE BRITISH MUSEUM. The extensive scaffolding lately erected in front of ,he British Museum, for the purpose of placing West macott's group of figures in the tympanum of the por tico, has now been almost entirely removed, and a full view can now be obtained of this beautiful addition to the exterior of what may be called a rather massive and ponderous than an elegant and graceful structure. These figures, which aro intended as allegorical represtntations of the different arts and sciences, do great credit to the taste and judgment of the sculptor, both as regards the way in which they have been designed and executed, and the postures and positions they occupy in the group. There is nothing strained, stiff, or unnatural about them, while they at once strike the eye as the emanations of a superior mind and the workmanship of a nice and delicate hand. It may be safely said that there is no public building in the metropolis which, in this respect, will be able to com pete with the British Museum. The group is made more effective by the largeness of some of the figures, and the prominence which is given to them, by the ground-work being painted blue—a novelty, by the way, in this country. A small portion of gilding on the minor matters of detail also forms an agreeable con trast. It will not be difficult to conceive, therefore, that the long faysde of the Museum, destitute as it previously was of all ornament, has been rendered more cheerful and attractive, and otherwise greatly improved in appear ance. We question, too, whether the effect might not be heightened by placing some classically designed and appropriate figure on the plinth or pedestal immedi ately over the tympanum, which many regret to find has been left vacant. Crowds of persons are daily collected in Great Russell-street, and seem to examine with considerable interest this praiseworthy specimen of the sculptor's art. The figures, we may mention, are all cut out of Portland stone. The screen work dividing tho building from the street is proceeding very slowly and is not expected to be finished before Midsummer, so that a vast number of visitors to London during this exciting and bustling season will not have an opportunity of seeing one of the best of our public structures in a finished and complete state. Though the officials or managers, in deference to public opinion, were compelled to abandon their idea of entirely closing up the area from the public—as it was generally said for personal motives and private conve nience—they have taken great pains to effect se much of that ridiculous object as possible. The central piers, which are built of granite, are nearly as large as some moderately-si;sed cotwges, and the stone work on which the massive iron railing is to ba fixed, would comp e l a lookokthaa amiss i t s h s e w architectural hen finit,hed. little man to stand on his toes in order to get a g l ance at the open space within. Notwithstandin g , h owever , t h ese screen,drawbacks, a t: it it is c a l v l e e d ey , w il l probablenot whom we had to employ or to reject. Gentlemen, the productions of all works in art or poetry re quires, in their conception or executian, not only an exercise of the intellect, skill, and patience, but particu larly a current warmth of feeling, and a free flow of ima gination. This renders them most tender plants, which will thrive only in an atmosphere calculated to main tain that warmth, and that atmosphere is one of kind ness—kindness towards the artist personally, us well as towards his production. An unkind word of criticism passes like a cold blast over their tender shoots, and shrinks them up, checking the flow of the sap which was rising to produce, perhaps, multitudes of flowers and fruit. But still criticism is absolutely necessary to the development of art, and the injudicious praise of an infe rior work becomes an insult to superior genius. In this respect our times are peculiarly unfavourable when com• pared with those when Madonnas were painted in the seclu sion of convents; for we have now, on the one hand, the eager competition of a vast array of artists of every de gree of talent and skill, and, on the other, as judge, a great public, for the greater part wholly uneducated in art; and this led by professional writers, who often strive to impress the publio with a great idea of their own artistic knowledge, by the merciless manner in which they treat works which cost those who produced them the highest efforts of mind and feeling. The works of art, by being publicly exhibited and offered for sale, are becoming articles of trade, following as such the unreasoning laws of markets and fashion, and public, and even private, patronage, is swayed by their tyrannical influence. It is, then, to an institutio❑ like this, gentlemen, that we must look for a counterpoise to these evils. Here young artists are educated and taught the mysteries of their profession; those who have distinguished themselves, and given proof of their talent and power, receive a badge of ac knowledgment from their professional brethren by being elected associates of the Academy, and are at last, after long toil and continued exertion, received into a select aristocracy of a limited number, and shielded in any further struggle by their well established reputation, of which the letters "B. A." attached to their names give a pledge to the public. If this body is often assailed frum without, it shares only the fate of every aristocracy; if more than another, this only proves that it is even more difficult to sustain an aristocracy of merit than one of birth or of wealth, and may serve as an useful check upon yourselves, when tempted at your elections to let personal predilections compete with real merit. Of one thing, however, you may rest as sured, and that is the continued favour of the Crown. The same feeling which actuated George HI. in founding this institution still actuates the Crown in con tinuing to it its patronage and support, recognising in you a constitutional link, as it were, between the Crown itself and the artistic body. And when I look at the assemblage of guests at this table, I may infer that the Crown does not stand alone in this respect, but that those feelings are shared also by the great and noble in the land. May the Academy long flourish, and continue its career of usefulness. MAY 12, TWO CHILDREN POISONED. Another addition has just been made to the long list of instances already afforded of the fatal results of the present lax system of administering pecuniary relief by means of burial clubs. The victims in the present instanee are two children, named Sarah Ann Barcroft and Ellen Mills, the former aged eleven months, and the latter two years and three months. The deceased Sarah Ann Barcroft was the child of Jonathan and Ruth Barcroft, residing at the Hague, near Mottram. This child died suddenly on the 29th ult., after a few hours' illness, about eleven o'clock in the forenoon. Shortly afterwards Mrs. Mills, the mother of the other child, who resides at a short distance from Barcroft's house, was sent for by Mrs. Barcroft, to assist her in laying out the dead child. Mrs. Mills took with her to Mrs. Barcroft's, Ellen Mills, and another of her children named George, about 13 months old, and also two children named M‘Gleclan, who lodged with their father at Mrs. Mills's house. Mrs. Barcroft then requested Mrs. Mills to go to a place called Tommylowe, about two miles off, to fetch Mrs. Barcroft's mother, offering to take care of the chil dren till she returned. Mrs. Mills accordingly went to Mrs. Barcroft's mother, and returned with her at about two o'clock in the afternoon. Seem after she returned, some porridge, which had been prepared in her absence, was given to the children, who, in about five minutes were seized with vomiting. Ellen Mills became rapidly worse, and expired about half-past ten o'clock that night. The other children recovered. Information of these circumstances having reached Mr. Little, special high constable, at Hyde, he visited Barcroft's house on the following morning, the 30th ult., to make in quiries as to the cause of the sudden death of the children. Mrs. Barcroft then told him that on tho Monday night, when her husband was from home, she went to bed with her child about eight o'clock. Her husband came home during the night, she could not say at what time, there being no clock in the house. Some time afterwards the child became rest less, and began to cry. Mrs. Barcroft woke her hus band, and he went down stairs, and brought up some flour porridge, which the mother had made before she went to bed, and put on the hob by the fireside. She gave the child some of the porridge, and in about five minutes it began to vomit, became very ill, and died about eleven o'clock the next morning. Jonathan Bar croft, the father of the deceased, told Mr. Little that on Monday he was at a beershop in Mottram in company with a man named Fairhnrat, till about ten o'clock at night, when he went home to bed. In the morning he went to his work, and did not hear of his child's death till some hours afterwards. Ile gave the remains of the porridge to a man named Cooper, next door, for his hens. Cooper said he had given the porridge to his hens, and it had done them no harm. On Saturday last an inquest was held on the bodies of the two children, before Mr. Hudson, coroner, but nothing of importance transpired, and the proceed ings were adjourned. On Tuesday last the inquest was resumed, when Messrs. Alcock and Sidebottam, sur geons, of Mottram, stated that they had made a post• mortem examination, and had found arsenic in the stomach. The inquest was accordingly adjourned again, and. Barcroft and his wife were apprehended that even ing on suspicion of the murder. Mr. Little, on making further inquiries, learnt that on the day of his child's death Barcroft went to the registrar of deaths at Glosop, and stated that he lived at Littlemore, about four miles from the Hague; that his child had died of the beeping cough, and obtained from him a certificate for the interment of the deceased. It also appears that, on the 23d ult., Barcroft, who was employed as a washer at Messrs. Ed. Potters' print works, Dieting-vale, ob tained from Thos. Marsden, who has the care of the drugs and colours at the works, 2 oz. of white arsenic, and about the same quantity of sugar of lead, stating that he wanted them for a person at the Hague, to put round some plants. All the five children were members of the Dieting-vale Burial Club. Barcroft received 21. 10s. from the treasurer of the society, en showing him the certificate which he had previously obtained from the registrar. The parents of the deceased Ellen Mills also received 41. from the club. In consequence of the suspicion which rests upon Barcroft and his wife, Mr. Little has received authority from the coroner to exhume the b , ,dy of a child of which Mrs IlArcroft was delivered on Goad Friday last, and which died about six hours afterwards. The adjourned inquest on the bodies of the two children will be held on Tuesday next, at the Griffin Inn, Broad-bottom, near Mottram. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. On Saturday three Germans, named Moses Snyders, Moses Jacobi Andring, and Jantezo Vlognion, and a German woman named Gerret; Vander Lowhen, were brought before th e L or d Mayor, in the custody o f Henry m 'ace, the o ffi cer, charged wit h having had in their pos session a number of Dutch bonds for the security of money, and 177 sovereigns, without being able to give a satisfactory account of the property. Mr. John Matthews, of Arthur-street West, appeared as solicitor for the prosecutors, Mrs. Frances Schaller and Co., of Amsterdam, and to watch the proceedings for the Dutch consul; andfMr. Humphreys and Mr. Wont ner attended for the prisoners. Mr. Matthews said, on the 31st of April bonds to the amount of 30,000 florins were stolen from Mrs. Frances Schaller and Co., and brought into the city of London to be disposed of. Several of these bonds were taken to the houses of Messrs. Spellman and Co. and Bower and Co., and offered for sale; and the prisoner Snyders was given into custody by ono of these firms upon sus picion of having become unfairiy possessed of certain of the stolen bonds. As most of the persons qualified to give evidence upon this occasion are of the Jewish per suasion, lam prevented by the forms of that religion from producing them here this day, but request that your Lordship will remand the accused until Monday, when:l shall be able to get into all the particulars of the case. I shall at the present moment just call sufficient evidence to justify a remand. John Isaacs (a City constable)—l received informa tion that the prisoner Snyders had been offering several Dutch bonds of consideradle value for sale, and had already sold some to the amount of 400/. to the proprie tors of,the Exchequer Bank in Leadenhall-street. Upon hearing this statement I went to look for Snyders at the house, 28, Rosemary-lane, and thence to 9, Tenter street, where I found the three other prisoners. I asked for Snyders, but they said they knew no such person. The female prisoner, Gerret Vander Lowhen, said, " Ash Snyders." After ha v i ng ma d e further inquiries in Tenter-street I returned to Rosemary-lane, to the house at which I had first called, and I heard some shuffling at the back of the shop into which I had gone, and saw the two prisoners, Moses Jacobi Audring and Jantezo Vlogman, trying to escape, and I apprehended them. Upon one of them I found 41 bonds and some English acd foreign money. I then took the two men and the woman to the stationehouse, whore I found Snyders already in custody, that prisoner having been apprehended at Messrs. Speilman's offices by Morris (City policeman 419). I took from on of the prisoners a key which opened a box in the back parlour of the house in Tenter-street (a sort of Dutch lodging-house), where I found 14 bonds and 170 sovereigns, and a wig, which I learned had been used by Snyders. Mr. Matthews submitted that, upon the statement made by the officer, quite enough appeared to authorise the remand of all the prisoners. Here a foreigner, who represented himself to be a merchant in London and related to one of the prisoners who had been apprehended in Rosemary-lane, said that his relative had only arrived on the very morning of his apprehension in company with the sister of the deponent, and could have known nothing of any felony, but owed the disagreeable circumstances in which he was placed to the fact of having been accidentally present when the officers appeared. The solicitor for the prisoners said there was nothing at all against the prisoners in the evidence adduced, and questioned the right of the Lord Mayor to detain them in custody when it could not be shown that they had any guilty knowledge of any robbery. Mr. Matthews—A large robbery has been committed in Amsterdam, of which we have received unquestion able information. Two of the prisoners are taken in the act of endeavouring to escape from the officer engaged in the investigation. I can produce, on Monday, the party who received from one of the prisoners a number of the stolen bonds, and who can prove that the state ments made upon the occasion were at variance with the truth. The Lord Mayor is completely justified in grant ing a remand. The gentleman who stated that he was related to one of the prisoners here submitted it was very hard upon his relative to be looked up in prison, and wished to know what would have been done with himself if, pos sessing a high character in the city of London as a merchant, he had happened to be with the prisoners? The Louis) Mavost—No doubt you would have been taken into custody with them. The company in which a man is seen is an argument generally of his character. If I were an officer I would not hesitate to take you into custody.—(A laugh.) This is a most serious matter, and it is my business to look after the interests of more parties than one. A tradesman has paid a considerable sum fur some of these bonds, and it is due to him as well as to the prosecutors that the investigation should be most strict. The prisoners were then remanded till Monday. Paul Peitzal, a shabby looking German, was charged with having cheated the captain of a vessel trading between London and Ostend of 125., the price of the voyage. G. E. Balliston, master mariner, belonging to the Sir Edward Banks, plying between London and Ostend, said—We left Ostend on Thursday morning, and ar rived in London in the afternoon. Upon application to the prisoner we found that he had neither money nor luggage, and we had no alternative but to bring him be fore your Lordship. Alderman HuuTen—You ought to be cautious about the parties you bring over at such a time. We ere inun dated with persons of this description, who, of course, come here to prey upon us. The complainant said that a tavern bill was found in the possession of the prisoner, from which it appeared that he had made a meal, just before he set off from the other side, at the price of from 10s. to 12s. The bill was marked as " p a id," so th a t it would appea r shore as if the man had determi ne d t o s t e p upon h completely penniless. When questi o n s Englishhe said he was the near relative of a general o ffi c er in the service of the Queen. Alderman HUNTER said, the prisoner must try the effect of an English prison for a few days, and accorc ingly committed him for a fortnight. GUILDHALL. James Gray and John Allen were brought before Alderman Wilson by Constable Allen, 354, who said that between twelve and one o'clock that morning hp saw the prisoners on Blackfriars-hridge, with a pail of whitewash, painting the words, "Free -trade and star ration !" on the parapet of the bridge. They had painted several walls in a similar manlier. 1851. A certificate was handed up to the bench from the house-surgeon of the London Hospital, describing the nature of the injuries the complainant had sustained, and it was stated that the man had ever since remained an inmate of that establishment, which he had only been permitted to leave that day to give evidence in support of the charge. When called upon for her defence, the wife, who did not exhibit the slightest sympathy for the suffering her husband was enduring through her misconduct, coolly denied the charge, and said that her husband's eye must have been struck with a street-door key which the woman who was with her had in her hand at the' time, and that the blow must have been inflicted accidentally in the course of a sharp struggle which had taken place between them on the complainant discovering her in a public-house. Mr. HAMMILL severely commented upon the unna tural and unfeeling conduct displayed throughout by the wife, and ordered her to pay the highest penalty he could impose, namely bL, or in default to stand committed to the House of Correction for two months. The penalty was not paid, and the prisoner was there fore removed in the van. CL ERKEN WELL. John and Ann Reynolds, man and wife, furskin dressers, of 133, Petticoat-lane, were charged by Mr. Frederick Frontal, furskin dresser, of 1, St. John's place, Clerkenwell, with having received 1,000 squirrel skins and 400 squirrel tails. It appeared that for some time past the prosecutor had missed considerable property from his stock, when he gave information to Fisher, 127, and Archer, 217 G, in telligent officers, through whose instrumentality the robberies were traced to two errand boys in his employ, who confessed that they had sold the stolen property to the prisoners, whose house being searched the whole of the property was found. The errand bojs were ad mitted Queen's evidence. SOUTH IVA RK. Robert Randall and Michael Cavanagh, two expert young thieves under 12 years of age, were brought be fore Mr. Seeker for further examination, charged with stealing a horse, cart, and harness, the property of Mr. Phillips, a fruiterer, in the borough-road, Southwark. They were also charged with stealing another horse and cart, containing a valuable carpet, the property of Mr. Lane, carpet manufacturer, in the Walworth-road. It appeared from the evidence of police-constable James Tyrell, 180 L, that on Wednesday last Mr. Phil lips had occasion to leave the horse and cart in Great Marylebone-street while he was transacting some busi ness at a customer's, and on his emerging from the shop ho discovered that his horse and cart were stolen, lie gave information to the police, and on the same evening the prisoners were taken into custody with the horse and cart in their possession. They had sold the harness and everything that the cart contained, which was after wards found and identified by Mr. Phillips. It being suspected that the prisoners belonged to an organized gang of young . thieves, Mr. Seeker remanded them until Saturday, to give the constable an opportunity of making inquiries. Police-constable 180 L said, that since the last exami nation he had discovered that the prisoners had stolen a horse and cart containing a valuable carpet, the property of Mr. Lane, a carpet manufacturer in the Walworth road; he found the carpet at Mrs. Moorcroft's, a corn dealer in the Bermondsey New-road, to whom it had been sold by Randall. He had, however, not been able to find the horse and cart. Mr. Lane stated, that on the morning of the 14th ult. he left his horse and cart, containing the carpet, in Al bemarle-street, Piccadilly, and heard nothing respecting it until the previous day, when the constable called upon hi m and told him that he had found the carpet at Mrs. Moorcroft's, in the Bermondsey New-road. The carpet wa s quite new, and he valued it at 8L Mrs. Moorcroft here stepped forward and, having been cautioned by the magistrate, voluntarily stated that, on the 14th of last month, Randall and another lad drove up to her door in a horse and cart and offered the carpet for sale. Randall produced a note from her daughter, requesting her to purchase it if it was all right. Randall told her that his father had sent him with it — consequently, under those circumstances she purchased it. Mr. SEcaEn—What did you give for the carpet? Mrs. Moorcroft—l gave 3s. for it; that was all they asked. Mr. SECKER—Why, this is a new Brussels carpet, and sworn to be worth 8L You must have known it was stolen. I intend to commit the prisoners fo r robbery, and I shall certainly commit you for receiving stolen property. Mrs. Moorcroft was accordingly taken into custody, and remanded with the lads until Thursday next. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON.—Oa Friday the mem bers of this club held their annual general meeting at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street. The commo dore, the Earl of Wilton, occupied the chair. A considerable number of members attended, including the Duke of Nee castle, the Marquis of Conyngham, Viscount Exmouth, the Right Hon. Milner Gibson, Captain Sir George B. Pechell, M.P. , Mr. J. Maxse, Mr. Spencer De Horsey, Colonel Markham, and Mr. G. Bentinck. The following gentlemen were elected members:—Joseph Parker, Esq., cutter, Magician, 62 tons; the Rev. ltobert P. Hartopp, cutter, Syren, 68 tons; Lieutenent-Colonel Joshua Smith, schooner, Leda, 120 tons; Sir W. P. Carew and E. Hulse, Esq., schooner, Gem, 125 tons; T. Hodges, Esq., M.P., cutter, Laolia, 75 tons. Six gentlemen were elected hono rary members. It was stated that the funds of the club were rapidly increasing, and that a very considerable balance' at present remained in the treasurer's hands. It was announced that the Queen's Cup for large cutters of 105 tons, eto , would be sailed for on the 18 t h of Au gust. i ts Highness Prince Albert had giv en a cu p , which Roya l. would be sailed for on the 20th of August. by large class schooners. The committee had apportioned the sum of 1001. for y achts of all nations, belonging to c lubs ; t he course to be rou - nd e the s Isle of Wight. It was expecte d that the season w ou ld be a very brilliant one. HOLYHEAD AND KINGSTOWN PACKETS.—From return printed by order of the House of Commons, it ap pears that her Majesty's mail steatn-packets Banshee,' Cara doc, Fire Queen, and Llewellyn, ma e 124 passages btween H o lyhead and i Kingstown durin g t h a month of March, 1850, and the average length of the passages 4 hours 20 1 A min. The three contract mail steam-packets , Eblana, Llewellyn, a nd St. Columba, made 126 trips in March, 1851, occupying on an average 4 hours 42 1-3 min. in the passage. The of shortest passage made b y any her Majesty's mail steam packets was by the Banshee, which crossed in 3 hours 87 min. The shortest trip m a d e in March, 1851, by the contract mail steam-packets was made by the Llewellyn in 4 hours 13 min. STATE OF TRADE .—MANCHESTER, . MANCHESTER, MAY 8 Very little alt era ti on has taken place in the market since Tuesday. Alth oug h on the whole, perhaps, rather more bu siness has b een done, the market exhibits the same dulness and depression to-day as it did last week. Where sales have been effected they have been merely to supply immediate and pressing wants, and have been generally executed at prices in favour of the buyer. No material decline has taken place, except in the case of some parties whose wants oblige them to press their stocks on the market with more eagerness. There is a large stroke of business doing .in the mills, and production goes on largely, whilst the principal accumulations of stock are confined to the iths printing cloths, principally of the lower qualities. Of 9-Bths print ing cloths a good many have gone off in shirting lengths. Madapollants and domestics are also comparatively plentiful in stock. Generally speaking, however, stocks continue light. A NumEuous FAMILY. —Mr. Samuel Fear, of Mark, near Bristol, has in his possession a duck which lately sat upon 30 eggs, and is now surrounded by a brood of 29 young ones, which are all well, and likely to arrive at ma ture duekttood. The ALDERMAN asked Gray what he had to say ? Gray said —A " gent" as meets me every Saturday pays me two-pence for every painting.—(Laughter.) I have been at it a month. I tell the " gent " every time how many I have painte4, and where I have painted them. Alderman WILSON—WeII, Allen, what have you to say? Allea—l assist Gray. I carry the paint pot, and he pays mo 2s. 6d. a night, but I have not got anything yet. I went to work between twelve o'clock at night and three in the moraing. Alderman WlLsoN—Gray, did you not know that you did wrong? Gray—The " gout " as employed me said there was no harm in it, as there was nothing about Chartists.—(Laughter.) Alderman WILSON—You should have selected proper places, instead of public or private buildings. Gray—l always takes the worst places, your Worship, that I can find.—(Laughter.) I never did chalking before. Al& man WiLioN—What do you earn in your pre sent profession? Gray—Sometimes ls. 6d., sometimes 2s. per night, and occasionally non; as I do not always get paid. Alderman WILSON—If you get only 25., how can you pay 2s. fid. per night? Gray—l dont know, your Wor ship, but Ido pay it. lam obliged to pay my assistants well.—(Laughter.) We do it in the night because the children smear it in the day.—(Laughter.) Alderman WILSON—WeII, you must go and clean tho bridge, or I will send you to prison. They were taken away accordingly by the constable to perform that duty in return for obtaining their dis charge. WORSHIP-STREET. Hannah Swaine, a coarse-featured, masculine woman, was brought before Mr. Hammill, upon a warrant ob tained against her by her husband, charged with having attacked him with such outrageous violence as to de stroy the sight of one of his eyes. The unfortunate husband, whose head was enveloped in bandages. and who appeared to be suffering under ex treme pain, stated that he had been married for several years to the prisoner, by whom he had six children, bat that in consequence of her ungovernable temper and drunken habits his life had been rendered a complete misery to him. The whole of Tuesday he had been at his work Refit late in the evening, when he returned home faint for want of his tea, but instead of its being ready for him he found that his wife had gone out, leaving his children without any one to take care of them, and crying for victuals. Suspecting, from simi lar conduct on her part on previous occasions, that he should find her in some public-house, he went round to the houses in the neighbourhood, and at length dis covered her standing at the bar of one of them, drinking with another woman of- the same depraved propensities, and in a state of perfect intoxication. He reproached her for her scandalous conduct, and asked her to return home and look after the children, but, instead of doing so, she loaded him with the most scurrilous epithets, and then turning fiercely upon him, dealt him such a terrible blow upon the right eye with some instrument she had in her hand that the blood instantly streamed down his face, he became partially stunned, and felt that his eyesight was gone. He was saved from falling by several of the bystanders, who ran forward and caught him and led him into the street, but on seeing the nature of the injuries he had sustained they took him to the shop of a neighbouring surgeon, who directed his immediate removal to the Loudon Hos pital, and there it was ascertained that the sight of the injured eye was so much impaired from inflammation and sympathetic action that" it was much to be feared he might in a short time, without extreme care, be totally blind. s. d. s. d 6 2 5 9 5 4 5 1 5 8 7 0 6 3 6 4 5 9 6 2 5 10 5 9 6 0 - 5 0 - 5 5 2 - 4 0 Best.

The trade during the week, in the absence of any foreignarrivals of importance, c on ti nues much in the condition note 7 in our last. Large arri va l s at M ark.lane of foreign wheat, an d a continued large influx of flour (principally of French nram i : facture) have had the effect of keeping prices in that market depressed. In consequence of the interference of the foreign manufactured article with that made by our home millers, low undergrewl of discontent is beginning to proceed from th e latter, and appears the precursor of more overt acts of hostility to the law as it at present stands. The receipts of home grain are very trifling, and cons i st of— W heat, 2 brls; barley, 1 7 1 kris; and oats, 677 brl s . P r i ces remain unaltered.
