• AUGURATION OF THE STATUE OF - WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR AT FALAISE. SPEECH OF M. GUIZOT. pci Sunday the inauguration of the fine equestrian Statue of William the Conqueror, which was exhi bited recently in one of the squares of the Champs Elysee, took place at Falaise, the birth-place of the Conqueror. Several speeches were delivered on the occasion, among which was the following, by M. Guizot " You present, gentlemen, today, a rare example, the example of a long and faithful memory after the lapse of ages ; nearly eight centuries have passed since King William died neglected in Normandy, which he had rendered so illustrious. It was with dif ficulty that there were found a few servants at Rouen —the scene of his death—to watch his remains. A:few feet of earth were hardly obtained at Caen wherein to deposit his remains. On the present occasion you repair that indifference of his cotemporaries by your persevering care ; and owing to the talent of an emi nent artist King William is again beheld in his native town. Falake repays him, after eight centuries, the glory which it received from him. It is a glorious deed to render justice to a great man. Great men, however, must not be flattered, neither after their death nor yet during their life; their errors, their faults, their vices, their crimes, when they have corn mittellany, ought not to be kept a secret, but ought rather to he judged with severity. It is the right, as it becomes the duty, of impartial history. But this just severity once exercised—the evil once recognized and treated as it deserves —a truly great man still remains—great in the midst of all the imperfections his history discloses ; and then it is our duty to ad mire and, pay signal honour to his memory, inasmuch as great men are the glery of a nation, even where their despotism has been rude and dearly purchased. William was indeed a great man, and if the greatness of princes be estimated, as it ought to be, by the difficulties of their deeds and the importance of their results, there are few who have been superior to hi m . You will not have forgotten, gentlemen, a deed which was accomplished in our time—the expedition of 1830 to Algiers ; the attempt to embark and trans port to the other shore of the Mediterranean an army of 30,000 men to obtain from a barbarian the satis faction due to us. What immense preparations were then made ! What mighty efforts, what powerful means were employed by the aid of our advanced state of civilisation ! And all that was deemed absolutely necessary, because the undertaking was difficult. You have now the proof that none of these precautions were unnecessary for a view to their success; and the success of that enterprise has become the glory of its leaders. "In the 11th century, scarcely issuing from a barbarous condition, without any of the resources now- furnished by civilization and science, Duke William assembled together, embarked, conveyed to the other side of the Manches, and landed on the enemy's territory more than 30,000 men; and scarcely had he landed, when he won battles, and conquered for himself a kingdom. So much for the difficulty of the enterprise. Now for the greatness of the re sults. W William not only traversed the sea in small and fragile barques with a mighty . army—not only did he conquer a kingdom—he did still more, h e founded a s t a t e . He strongly and solidly established his power on a foreign soil—his race, and a new lan guage, and new institutions. And his work has last e d for acres,i and it still endures. And it sin the tongue that King William spoke that the English Parlia ment still addresses its Noble Queen, and in it she replies. " We have seen, gentlemen, conquests more vast, more dazzling, than those of King William. They disappeared as rapidly as they were made. The phe nomenon is, indeed, rare of invasion founding a state. Yet Willia - n accomDlished such a deed. Willi am was in harmony with the spirit and the permanent interests of his age , he was as deeply imbued with a conservative spirit as he was gifted with the genius of a conqueror. " We are right in rendering him this justice, as his glory has cost us dear. It was the origin of that national struggle which lasted more than three centuries between France and England. It was William who, by establi,hing between two na tions partial and precarious ties, began between them that epoch of terrible hostility, and all the wars which lasted until they terminated in a complete separation of the two countries. We were the conquerors in that mighty struggle. 'We successively won back all the parts of our territory, and ended gloriously by securing our national independence. We definitively drove, the Norman invaders to the soil conqu e r e d by them, and whither we had sent them. That glorious creature, without parallel in the history of the world —with.a natare half angelic, half heroic—Joan of Arc, for ever destroyed what the successors of Wil liam the Conqueror laboured to effect in France ; and it was on this same spot of earth, in this very city of Rouen (where King William met his death) that the Virgin Warrior cealed with her martyrdom the de liveranceof her country. "Yet I care not to dwell on those glorious but saddening memories of the past. I rather love to contemplate ourselves and the history of our own days. In our times, also, ships without number crowd our coasts, and convey thousands upon thou sands of. voyagers to the shores of England. But is it for another war that they thus depart? No, no! It is benign Peace that beckons and guides them to a foreign land and leads them back again. Their desire is not for chivalrous adventure, nor is their ambition that of conquest. They crowd thither to offer, or bring back, the pledges of reciprocal prosperity. The intercourse between the two nations is now as pacific as it is frequent and animated. A Crystal Palace, where they congregate in thousands ; an in visible thread—a flash of lightning shooting beneath the wave, which conveys from the one to the other the message of their mutual wants and their mutual services —such, gentlemen, are the bonds which now replace those that William the Conqueror wished to establish ! " Which of the two periods, gentlemen, is the hap pier ? Which spectacle is the nobler, the more glo rious ? In the midst of the troubles and disquietudes which weigh upon us in our present agitated and pre carious condition, we yet have a right to be proud of, and full hope in, our own age—provided our hope and our pride do not impel us into the pride of mad ness. We may justly speak of the benefits and the marvels of our civilization, provided that our civiliza• tion he not itself like a Crystal Palace, which all men admire, but which all at once disappears ; and that it cannot be said of it, in the language of the great poet, that Normandy has giv en t o F rance , w i t h its brilliancy the brittleness of glass. " I wish not, gen tl emen , t o th row a g l oom over this festivity by words of sadness ; but you will pardon me the expression of a sentiment, which is certainly that of all men of sense and of honour. When men who traverse the wide ocean are overtaken by the tempest it is not sufficient to have a noble ship, well equipped, and well furnished with an intelligent, brave, and hardy crew ; that crew must be united ; and the noble ship must have stout anchors—for on these the salvation of all dpp-nds. Let us, gentlemen, be firmly united ; let us know how to possess our selves of the strong anchors of society ; let us trust to them together. Yes ! Heaven will deign to grant us salvation—iF we act so as to deserve it !" TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sm.—No w that we have just witnessed that triumph of modern civilization and the arts of peace, the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations, we hear with deep interest, in this quarter, a daily growing rumour of another design of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort; one far more easy of accomplishment, yet likely to be attended with no less important and enduring results. I al lad''' to the project of an 2Y.46civicn for the purchase of land, under the Incumbered Estates Commission i n this country, to be sold again in convenient lots to small farmers : in other words, a plan for creating a n p roprietary in IrAand. It peasant is now 0 generally admitt e d that the non-success is not so much his ow fault as of the Irish fanner Fuldmeestriances over which heGlai:a:,eh:d noan of circumstances has it been said— ctehreitrreoslu. result of d i a to cultivate, without security of a 1 uxuriant gar te,aure, and it ;ill in time become a useless Waste; give him a barren rock he can call his own, and it fertility and beauty. At will e r e l on g bloom with horn e, unfortunately, owing to the necessities of the lanedords, the Irish farrwr hitherto, as a general rule, 11 a 4 had no security for his outlay,no stimulus to in a' astry. Oppressed by an excessive rant, with an , secure tenure, no encouragement to he has had to exertion b e y on d what wou ld mere ly enable him subsist. Gi ve him but a fair margin ; allow him an you will s h are in the profits of his labour, and e _ will find no more ind us t r i ous, more peace f u l, o r more valuable m em b er of society. sufficient proof of this is the success of Irishmen in every country but A their own. Witness the larg e sums they accumulate every year in America, and transmit in hundreds of thousands of pounds to their relatives here. _Yes, c) Sir, it is a first p r i nciple of econ ic science, a law of His wisdom w h o ordained thatnl ,Tn underansh o o r ul di d earn bread in the sat of hi s b row, that favourable circumstance,,, not on l y will an able-bodied man replace by his labour what he consumes, but he duction will cad eover, in his accumulations or surplus pro , to the general wealth. This we find to be the case in every country wh-re patient industry is sure to reap its reward. In N orway, we are in formed by Mr. lA-dog. " The land is parcelled ont into small estates, affording a comfortable s. civilisedull:iis ence, l and ife, in b au but nothin g degree the elegances of more. With a population of 910,000 inh a bit ants, g about the year 1819, there were 41,656 estates. I n Aiorway the law o f succe ssion has prevented property being a ccumulated in large masses . The estates of the houses, individuals are in general small ; and L . l ' : ._ an d means of wrimg fur niture, food, comforts, wages, THE SUN, among all classes appear to approach more nearly to an equality to one standard than in any other coun try of Europe." Speaking of Zurich, where the peasantry cultivate their own lands, Mr. Inglis observes— " Anywhere in the neighbourhood of Zurich, in looking to the right or the left, one is struck with the extraordinary industry of its inhabitants. In the in dustry they show in the cultivation of the land I may say they are unrivalled. When I used to open my casement between four and five in the morning, to look out upon the lake and the distant Alps, I saw the labourer in the fields ; and when I returned from an evening ramble, long after sunset, as late perhaps as half-past eight, there was the labourer mowing his grass or tying up his vines. But there are other and better evidences of the indus try of the Zurichers, than merely seeing them late and early at work. It is impossible to look at a field, a garden, a hedge —scarcely even a tree, a flower, a vegetable—without perceiving proofs of the extreme care and industry that are bestowed upon the culti vation of the land." Speaking of the Engadine, in which he states the whole of the land belongs to the peasantry, he continues, " I did not sufficiently en large upon the industry of the inhabitants, but it deserves a panegyric. There is not a foot of waste land in the Engadine, the lowest part of which is not much lower than the top of Snowdon. Where ever grass will grow, there it is; wherever a rock will bear a blade, verdure is seen upon it ; wherever rye will succeed, there it is cultivated. Barley and oats have also their appropriate spots ; and wherever it is possible to ripen a little patch of wheat, the cul tivation of it is attempted." " The little spots of land, says Mr. Laing, writing of Switzerland generally, " show the same daily care in the fencing, digging, weeding, and watering. The owners have a kind of Robinson Crusoe industry about their little properties," &c. "In Germany, says Mr. Howitt, " the land is for the most part in the hands of the people, and par celled out amongst the multitude; the peasantry la bour early and late, because they fell that they are labouring for themselves. There is not an hour in the year in which they do not find unceasing oc cupation." And so, let us hope, it will yet be in Ireland. The Incumbered Estates Commission is a large step in the right direction ; but its operation is necessarily very gradual, and its beneficial effects will not be felt, on an extended scale, for a considerable time. We re quire, meanwhile, some extraordinary aid, to restore confidence to the people, to stay the tide of emigra tion that sets so strongly from our shores. Such an association as that spoken of, under the auspices of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, would, at the pre sent moment, work wonders for this country, not only directly by helping to create a peasant proprietary amongst us, but indirectly by its moral effects. And this is a question not merely of Irish, but of Imperial interests. If the population of Ireland continues to melt away from the face of the land, where will be Ireland's contribution to the Imperial Exchequer ? where will be the Irish market for England's manu factures ? How different would it be if, remember ing that population is wealth, an exertion were made, even now, to retain the millions in the country, to render it their interest to remain at home ! Then would Ireland gradually become, as from her natural capabilities, she ought to be, a great and prosperous nation, with her people all employed, well fed, well clad, and largely contributing to swell the revenue, and benefit the trading and manufacturing interests of the empire. The importance of this subject at the present junc ture must plead my apology for thus trespassing on your valuable space. I remain, Sir, your's, &c. Cork, Oct. 25, 1851. I. N. M.

HEALTHOF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The total number of deaths registered in the metro politan districts in the week ending last Saturday was 977. In the corresponding weeks of ten year', 1841- 50, the number was not so great as that of last week, except in two instances, namely, in 1843 and 1848, when it rose above 1,100; while tho average was 929. But if this average, for the sake of better com parison, be raised in proportion to the increased po pulation of the present time, it will became 1.022, and last week's return will show a decrease of 45 on the estimated amount. There is a considerable increase in cases arising from epidemics ; the number in this class of diseases having risen from 242 and 229, the numbers returned respectively in the two previous weeks, to 268 in the last. The two epidemics which attract notice in the table are scarlatina and typhus, the fatality from both being evidently on the increase, and the former having 67 deaths assigned to it, the latter 79. At 1, Dean-street, St. Dunstan's, in West London (South), on the 24th of October, the daughter of a compositor died of dropsy consequent on scarlatina. Mr. Nason states that " this is the third death in a family of six children, all of whom (as reported a fortnight ago) have had scarlatina." In the town sub-district of Bethnal-green, at 18, Nelson-street, two children of a typefounder, aged 6 and 8 years, died of scarlatina maligns after 10 and 11 days' ill ness ; in the same house two sons of a sawyer died, one of " fits from worms (5 days)," and the other of " scarlatina maligna (5 days)." Mr. Gregory adds, that " the house in which these four children di-d be tween the 15th and 24th of Oct. is situated in a street which is badly drained, and which has no communi cation with any sewer." A family is also mentioned, who reside at 29, London-street, Ratcliff, where two children of a labourer died of the same disease. Among fatal cases of fever is one which occurred at 17, Charlotte-street, Whitechapel ; the deceased, as stated by the registrar, having been " a very valu able officer of the Wnitechapel union, who caught fever in the discharge of his official &vies." Small-pox was fatal last week to 22 persons, of whom all, with only two exceptions, were boychildren of five years and a girl of ten, it is stated that vaccination had been previously performed. In Spitalfields, at 6, Paternoster-row, the so nand two daughters of a licensed victualler died within a week of confluent small-pox, all without vaccination. The house (Mr. Deboos reports) is close, the situa tion confined, and also unwholesome from bad drain age and noxious effluvia. With reference to two fatal cases which occurred, 13 ,1',? in Brit ann i a - row, I s li ngton, and another i n W n dsor-atreet, both without vaccinati on , M r . Butter field observes that he is constantly in the habit of recommending parents to have th e ir c hild ren vacci nated ; but a strong impression exists that vaccination is the means of inducing other diseases, and it is surprising how m any persons object to it on this .

The medical certificate adds, that the disease was " brought into action by swallowing a bean, which passed into the left lung three months ago " A post mortem examination was made. Of 177 persons whose ages were 60 years and up wards it appears that 86 were men and 91 were women. Of these aged persons 59 died before they reached 70 years, 83 were 70 years and under 80, 31 between 80 and 90, and 4, all women, were 90 years and upwards.

A private letter, written by an English lady, who has recently ♦isited the United States of America, to a friend in this country, gives the following interest ing account of a lady whom she met with at an hotel in Boston : Mrs. de Kroyft was a bride, a widow, and blind— in a month. Her history, as she related it to me, is as follows :—When she was eighteen, she became attached to a young man, without fortune, who was studying the medical profession. Having no money herself, his friends wished him to marry a young lady of property, who was supposed to have a penchant for him. This stimulated her ambition, and she re solved to make herself superior to her rival, mentally, since she could not vie with her pecuniarily. Ac cordingly, she contrived to raise twenty dollars per annum, to pay for studying at Lima College, where she remained four years, carrying off the first prizes. The next year they were to be married, on the 24th of August. A short time before this, her intended husband was seized with a spitting of blood. It ceased for a time, and he was better. After a little, it returned ; he was told he had but a short time to live. On hearing this she went and lodged in the same house, nursing him night and day. When their wedding-day arrived, he said he should die happier, if he could once call her his own. They were married, and he died four days after. The necessity for exertion which had hitherto supported her was gone; she gave herself up to grief This added very much to an inflammation that bad settled in her eyes, since her night watchings. One morning she awoke, and could not open them. The doctor told her she would open them in a day or two. A week elapsed ; still they remained the same. One morning, the doctor forced them open, and ex claimed, "My God ! you are blind!" She thought before nothing could exceed her misery, but this terrible announcement seemed to absorb everything else. She could not believe that she should never see again. The endeavour to realise it seemed to be numb every feeling. She was roused from this state of lethargy by the kindness of her college com panions, who, when they heard of her misfortune, collected fifty dollars amongst themselves, and sent one of their number to give her the money, and nurse her for a fortnight. At the expiration of this time she was well enough to walk about, and to feel that if she could not find some way of exercising her powers she should go mad. She is one of those energetic spirits who find it much easier to do than to suffer. Besides, her father was not well off, and had nine children younger than herself. Through the in fluence of Senator Badkus, she spent a year at the New York Institution for the Blind, to try if she could learn music sufficiently to teach it. In this she failed. This disappointment, with her blighted hopes and lost sight (for she says she could not ac custom herself to be blind), so preyed upon her spi rits, that she could neither sat nor sleep; and often spent the greater part of the night in walking in the gardens. She was a constant mourner between two graves ; in one lay buried her affections and hopes, in the other a world of light and beauty, in which she might have found consolation. A friend of hers, Dr. Nott, sent her to a water establishment, where she remained six months, made many friends, and recovered her health. Still she was no nearer finding something to do, to secure herself an indepen dence, now become the great passion of her life. During her stay at the above-named institution, she had, by means of a grooved card, written a great number of letters to her friends, in which she des cribed, with considerable eloquence, her feelings and sufferings, and her sources of consolation. These she was induced to publish by subscription. She waited on the managers of the institution, who gave her their influence, and set down their names for several copies. From thence she went to the Oity- hall ; they gave her the same encouragement there. She then went on boldly, with her prospectus in her hand, and a guide, and called on all the principal merchants of the city, putting down their names, and receiving their dollars in advance. In a very short time she possessed a thousand dol lars, which was quite sufficient. She brought out the first edition of 1,000 copies, September, 1849. These she delivered herself to the subscribers, most of whom never expected to see her again, but gave her a dollar because she was blind. They were so pleased with her or her book, or both, that they recommended her to their friends. She brought out another thousand, disposed of them quickly, then another. Now she is selling the fourth thousand, and expects by the end of the year to have disposed of them all, and to he worth one thousand dollars towards the four thousand that sbe thinks will secure her from want. She secures all the profits by selling them herself. She travels from one town to another, takes a pretty girl as a guide, and a boy to carry her books. Goes to all the stores, tells her tale, and solicits them to buy her book ; and does it so handsomely, to use her own expression, that very few decline to purchase. When she sells 30 she returns, considering that a day's sale. Sometimes she does this in an hour and a half—sometime three hours. She sold 500 in Washington in a fortnight. She was introduced to President Taylor, Mr. Clay, and the principal members of Congress, and their wives, through Mrs. Bell, wife of the Secretary of the War Department. This lady established an institution for the blind in Tenessee, and conse quently took a great interest in her. She says she went in style to sell her books in Washington, Mrs. Bell, and, after her, many of the other ladies, took her books and her in their carriage, went round the city, sent the footman in with a book to every house likely to buy it, left the book to be looked at, and called for the money coming back. Very few returned a book left under such favourable auspices. These people gave her letters of in troduction to their friends in other places. She has a very nice note from Henry Clay, another from Presi dent Taylor, with his signature outside, which is a very important document. By showing this, she and her attendants travel free of expense all over the States, that is, in public conveyances. SEABORNE MAILS.

By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 430 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 103 f d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.7 f ; and the exchange at Hamborgh on London at short being 13.81, it follows that gold is 0.41 per cant. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1l per cent., and the p ar of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that t h e exchange is nominally 0.42 per cent. i n f av our of England; but, after making a ll owance f or difference of i nteres t an d charges of transport, th e present rate leaves no pro fit o n th e importation of gold from the United States. ADULTERATION AND DEFICIENT WEIGHT OF BREAD.—The sanitary commissioners of the Lancet, in their last report, have given the result of their examination of 28 samples of bread, 25 of which were purchased of different bakers in the metropolis, and three from a company who have numerous establishments for the sale of their bread, and who in their advertisement declare that alum is not used by them, and in every instance were the samples found to be adulterated with alum—a substance calculated to exercise a very prejudicial influence upon the digestive system, :and consequently upon the health of those who partake of it. Having directed attention to the weight of the bread sup plied to houses, it was found, in 43 instances out of 46, to be deficient in weight up to four ounces in the quartern, and 24 ounces in the half-quartern—a double fraud being thus practised upon the public, of the bread supplied, bein g n o t only adulterated but deficient iu weight.

From the Official List. f ÜBLISIIED EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23. SOUTFIWARK COUNTY COURT.—Oct. 29. (Before G. CLivE, E:q , and a jury.) MILLER V ROBERTS. This action was brought ro recover the sum of 201., which plaintiff claims under the statute 25ch of George IL, cap. 36, sec. 7, by reason of the defen dant (who was and still is a constable of the parish of Lambeth) neglecting and wilfully refusing to pro secute a brothel and disorderly house in the parishf Lambeth, after being duly served with a notice signed by the plaintiff and a person named Price, both inha bitants and ratepayers, and after entering into recog nizances to do so. Mr. Mathews, of the firm of Terrell and Mathews, solicitors to the London Society for the Protection of Young Females, attended to support the claim; and Mr. Rogers, barrister, for the defendant. Mr. Mathews, in opening the case, stated that it was one of unusual occurrence against a parish officer, to recover a penalty for refusing to perform a certain duty which the Act of Parliament imposed upon him. The Act under which he made the claim was passed to encourage the inhabitants to suppress all disorderly and bad houses through the means of their parish officer, and on that officer refusing to prosecute he rendered himself liable to a penalty of 201. Such was the ground of the present action for the defendant not carrying on the prosecution against a house in St. Albans street, Lambeth, after receiving due notice from two inhabitants and ratepayers. The house in question was for a long time a disorderly house. At the time of the complaint open debauchery was carried on there, and the characters who frequented it were so notoriously bad and degraded as to render the whole neighbourhood a disgrace to the parish ; consequently, Mr. Miller, the plaintiff, and his partner Mr. Field, undertook to put a stop to the nuisance by serving notices on the defendant as their parish con stable. He (Mr. Mathews), as solicitor to the Lon don Society for the Protection of Young Females, brought forward the case and served the notices according to the Act. The defendant, with the overseers of the parish, attended at the Lambeth Police-court, but he refused to prosecute or interfere in any way ; consequently, the plaintiff employed the society, and, with the assistance of the police, the parties were prosecuted, and the nuisance suppressed. He called— Inspector Rogers, of the L division, who said he attended the police -court on the 25th of February last, when the parties who carried on the disorderly house were before the magistrate. The defendant was there, and entered into recognisances to prose cute them at the ensuing sessions. On that occasion witness had some conversation with him, when he said he did not know anything about the house or the parties, and he seemed reluctant to be bound over, until witness told him he was liable to a penalty if he did not. Cross-examined—Defendant was at the sessions on the 19th of March, when the bill was found by the grand jury. The trial took place on the 14th of April, when defendant was there also. Two of the defendants were convicted, and the other three acquitted. The nuisance was then suppressed. Wit ness's attention was called to the house a long tune before by his superintendent, and afterwards he spoke to Mr. Field about it. The latter person is an officer of the London Society for the Protection of Young Females. The defendant did not conduct the pro secution, but Mr. Field, from whom he took direc tions. He told defendant to attend at sessions to prosecute. Richard Field, an officer of the London Society for the Protection of Young Females, said he had known the house in question about twelve months. It was frequently resorted to by juvenile prostitutes and thieves of the lowest description. In consequence of that, the property about there was much de preciated. He was in attendance before the ma gistrate with defendant, when they were all bound over; the defendant was present by direction of the overseers. He said to witness that he did not like it. Defendant attended at the sessions on the 19th of March, when the evidence was completed. Witness told defendant so, and requested him to obtain the indictment, as he was the proper person to prosecute. He replied that he would have nothing to do with the case. Witness told him that if he would not get the indictment, he must. He (defen dant) exclaimed, " You may do as you like. I will have nothing to do with the proseCution." Defendant never interfered with the prosecution, but his name was on the back of the bill. After the prosecution was taken up by the society the nuisance was sup pressed, and the houses respectably inhabited. The defendant was put into the witness-box by Mr. Mathews, and said that he communicated all he heard of respecting the prosecution to the plaintiff, and had frequent conversations with him respecting the nuisance, and always took his instructions. He never refused to act in the matter, after Mr. Elliott told him if he did not he must fine him 501. He did not prefer the bill, although he was at the Sessions house at the time it was preferred. He had been many years a constable of Lambeth, and never bad occasion to indict any one. On the 18th of March last he received a letter from Mr. Mathews, which he showed to Mr. Miller. It was a notice for him to attend the sessions on the following day and prosecute. The Learned Counsel for the defendant then ad dressed the jury. He contended that there had been no refusal on the part of the defendant, and that the action was solely got up to get the solicitor's bill of costs, amounting to 491. 175., from the overseers, and that was the screw they put on to get it. The Act of Parliament provided for costs to be ascertained by two justices of the peace, and after their decision to be paid by the overseers. The latter would no doubt. have paid the plaintiff, had his bill been just, and he gone the proper way to work. No justices would, however, have allowed such enormous costs. The Act of Parliament set forth a " wilful refusal on the part of the parish officer ;" now he contended that ❑o wilful refusal had bean proved, as defendant attended at the sessions and had his name placed at the back of the bill. He therefore contended that the plaintiff had not made out his case. His HONOUR, in summing up, read the Act of Par liament, 25 Geo. 11., sth and 7th sections, which set torth the penalty to be for " wilful neglect, and re fusing to go before a justice to prosecute." The de -1 fondant did attend before a magistrate, and was bound r over to attend the sessions. The question then was, did he wilfully refuse to prosecute ? That was proved by Field in his evidence, but they must consider whether it was wilful. The Act of Parliament was passed about a century ago. At that time London was quite different to what it was now. There were ❑o police or police magistrates, and no such societies in existence to put down nuisances, therefore parish officers were called upon to prosecute in such cases. He was not surprised that defendant was not so dili gent as he might have been, when he saw such an excellent society and the police take the case up; and had it not been sworn that he refused to prosecute on the 19th of March, he should have directed the jury to have returned a verdict in his favour. The jury consulted for a few minutes, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff in the full amount of the penalty, with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Robert Fortescue Mackrill, a clerk in the employ of Mr. James Colquhoun, a stockbroker of Shorter's court, Throgmorton-street, was placed at the bar be fore Mr. Alderman Finnis, charged with stealing a letter containing a 51. Bank of England note, and another containing fifty 251. shares in the Lanca shire and Yorkshire Railway Company; a cheque for U. 55., and several letters, the property of his employer. Mr. James Colquhoun said—l am a stockbroker, and carry on business at No. 1, Shorter's-court, Throgmorton-street. Prisoner has been a clerk in my employ for the last year and a half, and discharged himself from my service on the day before yesterday. I suspected him, and accordingly gave information to the police. Last night, however, he came to my house at his mother's request, to try and arrange the matter with me; but I detained him all night, and in the morning I took him to the police station and ga ve him into custody. On the 11th of this month I sealed and addressed a letter to my wife, inclosin g a Si. note, and called prisoner to look at the note and take the number to enter in a book, kept for that purpose. I always do so, in order that if any money should be stolen from my letters at the Post-office, my clerk may be a witness to the amount of money en closed, and the number of the notes. Prisoner admitted that he had abstracted the Si. note, and omitted to post the letter, which he returned to me to-day. I then went to No, 8, William -street, Bethnal-green (where prisoner lodged with his mo ther), in company with the officer, and the prisoner, who there gave me a quantity of pap ers , among which I found six letters that prisoner had intercepted be tween my wife and me, and which if either of us had received would have led to prisoner's detection. I also found among the papers fifty railway shares (known among brokers as " Leeds Fifths"), value about 2501., which I enclosed, with a cheque for 1/ 55., to the secretary of the company in January last, and which p r i soner ack ge nowled he had stolen at the same ti me th e l etter was given post. The Fin to The share s an d transfers I found allsafe. There are a great m an y c h eques and other documents, which I know to be forgeries, and, therefore, apprehend that prisoner has been carrying on a very extensive sys tem of fraud upon me. Under these circumstances, I would ask your worship for a remand of this case, and also to grant a warrant to search the premises occupied by the mother of the prisoner. Alderman FINNIS said there would be no difficulty about that if the case were left in the hands of the officer, who would make all necessary inquiries. The prisoner requested a private interview with the prosecutor, which was granted by Alderman Finnis, who cautioned the latter to hold out no pro mise to induce the prisoner to make any confession. Remanded fur week. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE MEDITERRANEAN. Admiral Sir VV. P irker, Barr, G.C.8., with his fleet, wig to the eastward of Alicante, Oct. 19. A correspondent, dating from Milta, Oct. 22, says— " The exercises of the fleet under the orders of Sir William Parker have continued.

Albion, 90, Captain Hope Johnstone ' was lying in the great harbour, Malta, her fore and main yards down, and her rudder off. She was being caulked inside and out. It is not likely she will put to sea to rejoin the Admiral, whose return to Malta may be now shortly expected. Firebrand, 6, steam-frigate, Captain Codd, left Malta on the 20th instant for Naples, where she would relieve the Dragon, 6, steam-frigate, Captain H. W. Giffard. She had orders to coast along under sail if the wind was fair, On going out of the har bour she took in tow the Resistance, store-ship, Master Commander Bradshaw, which had arrived in the morning from Gibraltar, but owing to light airs and calms was obliged to anchor off the mouth of the harbour. Medusa, steam-packet, Lieutenant- Commander Bathurst, and the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Euxine, from Constantinople, the former with the India mail, were expected in Malta on the 24th instant. The India mail wai to be conveyed to Marselles by the Medina, steam-packet, Lieutenant. Commander Reynolds. Admiral Parker has issued the following order to the fl-et under his command : " The following are the regulations for the admis sion and treatment of foreign ships of war in the har bour of Austria, and communicated for the informa tion of her Majesty's ships and vessels under my command. W. PARKER, Vice-Admiral. " The following are the declared military har bours " 1. The harbour of Venice, under which denomi nation is included, on account of the local connexion, the whole of the coast from the lighthouse of Casaliuo to the Porto di Brondolo within gunshot distance. " 2. The harbour of Pula, on the coast of Istria, including all the neighbouring harbours and anchor age from the north end of the Bronisti Island to the Punta di Promontore. " 3. The harbour of Lissa, including all anchorages and roadsteads on the whole island. " No ships will be allowed to enter these ports. " In Pole and in Lissa only will admission through stress of weather be allowed, in which case the ship must, if possible, enter the principal harbour and anchor just within the entrance, waiting there for instruction from the sea authorities as to the spot where she is to anchor. " Should the state of such ship render it neces , ary for her to anchor in one of the outer harbours or anchorages, her commander must, as soon as possible, inform the commandant of the main harbour or mili- tarp station thereof, and wait for more precise in structions. " 11. " The harbour and roadstead of Trieste, including the Bay of Muggia, as far as Punta Grossa, is open to the ships-of-war of friendly Powers, but under the following regulations : " A. There shall not be admitted, at any one time, within gunshot of the harbour batteries, more than one large or two small (namely, complements under 300 men) sailing-vessels or steamers of the same flag, excepting in case of a previous sanction obtained of the Government in question from the Austrian Go vernment. " Owing to the local position of Trieste and the Bay of Muggia, as well as of Venice and the coast therein included, stress of weather cannot come into operation, and such, therefore, cannot be considered a valid excuse. " B. Each such ship or steamer-of-war shall pro ceed and anchor in such place only as shall be pointed out by the harbour authorities, and, should a ship be compelled by circumstances to let go her anchor pre viously to receiving such information, she must (if deemed necessary by the harbour authorities , accord ing to the instructions) a ft erwar d s change her berth agreeably to such notice. C. If the armament of a ship allow of it, and particularly if she should be of a class which usually salutes, such ship should forthwith salute the Imperial Austrian flag, which salute will be returned with an equal number of guns. " D. On the arrival of a ship-of-war of a foreign flag, her commander must acquaint the governor or military commandant of the cause of his visit, as also of the probable duration of his stay ; and a ship must not, without necessity and a previously obtained per mission from the governor or commandant, prolong her stay beyond the time which has been decided on with the governor or commandant, according to the declared object of the visit. "E. Foreign men-of• war will not be allowed to fire morning or evening guns in the harbours. " F. With the exception of officers and subordinate officers who usually wear side-arms, the crews of foreign men-of-war must only land unarmed and in small parties. 70TNT-sToc3C Dividend , Amount Name of Company. per of Paid.

" In all the other fortified harbours of the coast of Istria, Croatia, Dalmatia, and Austrian Italy, the admission of fireign men-ot war will be allowed in the same manner with the stay of a single ship, and special instructions will be given for the purpose of each harbour. "Iv. "No foreign men-of-war will be allowed to make any port of the Austrian States a station for remain ing at, except in the event of a special arrangement with the Government concerned. '*v. " By the observance of these conditions, as well as of the police, health, customs, and postal regulations of each port, foreign men-of-war of all friendly naval Powers may rely on meeting with th e f r i en dl y recep tion and treatment which is customary among civilized nations. "VI. " Pilots and harbour authorities, as well in fortified as unfortified harbours, are bound, with a view of avoiding all chance of misunderstanding, to make all commanders of foreign men-of-wer duly acquainted with the existing regulations, as also with the police laws of their respective ports." The French steamer from the Levant arrived last nignt, but brings no news of importance. Her Majesty's steam-packet Medusa, and the Pe ninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Euxine, from Constantinople, the former with the Indian mail, are expected here on Friday, the 24th inst. The Indian mail will be conveyed to Marseilles by the Medina packet. APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, OCT. 29.—Commander Wm. Morris (b) (1846), to study steam at the factory at Wool wich dockyard. S econd -Master Robert P. J. Simp s on (1847), to the London, 90, flagship at Sheerness. Midshipman G. J. Dail, to the Victory flagship at Portsmouth. Naval cadet John E. Stokes, to the Rosamond steam-sloop at Devonport. The Tyne store and troopship, Master-Commander Peter Wellington, having embarked troops for the West Indies, left her moorings opposite Woolwich dockyard at two o'clock P.M. to-day, and was towed down the river by the Monkey steam-vessel. THE LATE COURT-MARTIAL AT STONEHOCSE.—As we anticipated, the Court-martial on First Lieutenant Onslow, of the Plymouth division of Royal Marinea, has resulted in the acquittal of that officer, who has returned to his duty in the corps. Mr. Robert Riddell has been appointed head master of the Nautical School, Greenwich. Dido, 18, Captain Moreshead, arrived at Devon port on Wednesday last from Portsmouth and Sheer ness. She has some slight repairs which will b e ma d e good here. She will take s.nne boys fr om th e St. George for distribution atnongst the ships on the Pacific station. Hamosze lighter, Wood master, sailed on Tuesday from Devonport with stores for Queenstown. Rosamond, 6, steam-sloop, is to he forthwith com missioned at Devonport with a complement of 160 officers and men. We have already announced her appointment!. Ocean freight-ship sailed from Devonport on Tues day, with victualling stores for the Cape of Good Hope. On Saturday, says a Havre journal, as three men were returning in a boat from the Cape de la Heve to Havre, with a cargo of lead, thep suddenly discovered that the boat had sprung a leak. One of them, named Briant, proposed to throw part of their cargo overboard, but this was opposed by the others, who thought they could arrive at their destina tion without danger. After a time, however, they changed their opinion, and were proceeding to lighten the boat when she suddenly went down. Briant, who is an old man of 60, swam towards the shore, and after great difficulty reached it in safety, but the Qtber two were drowned. ~.---- --------- THE COUNTRV MARKET:; s od LEEDS, OCT. 28.—We bad a fair show of 0 13 ,,e - i' da y'. the . finest qualities were firm; few sales at jr re i r i li pr m ic i e te s d , d b e u m t secondary ua rk sorts, a though not I s o n w ci e r; o e ui 0 g i abwteeiaornens.72A7b:rtropirveeaa.sls_2B7we.anhrsealaten, d6se,ooetBdhse;:4o6aa.rttsi,clie4s47ibths°ll°:p69ls; ply N a E t w o C u A r S T m L E a : k C e A t T ' T to L .
