[The following appeared in our Fourth Edition of last night FRANCE. The President of the Republic, on the proposition oi" the Minister of War, has removed M. Terchon f r om the command of the battalionof sapeurs-pom peu rs of Paris, and replaced him by M. Vives, who was sent away by the men in a sort of eineute in the d a ys of February. M. Terchon, on that occasion, was named to the command by the men them selves. ha a report to the President on the change, the Minister says :—" A double cause has induced me to propose to you this measure. On :the one band, it will consecrate the restoration of the prin ciple of the inviolability of comma n d by th e reca l of the superior officer in wheae person it was dis regarded ; on the other, 111. Vives possesses in the highest degree the aptitude which the re-organization of the new battalion requires, by the profound knowledge which he has acquired of the wants of the service, and of the interests of this corps. On the whole, the recall of M. Vives will be a lesson of high morality, which will place in evidence the value of dismissals pronounced by revolt, and of appoint ments it may make, and at the same time it will be a pledge for the good and prompt re-organization . of corps destined t o r en der great services." The old Legitinvatist General d'll lutpoul has com pletely " bamboozled" the President of the Republic in the above case : for M. Vives read N. Louis Na• poleon Bonaparte, and for M. Terchon read " the Bourbons," and the occult meaning of the remarks with which General d'Hautpoul concludes his report will become evident. GERMAN Y. The sittings of the delegates from the cities of the Zollverein, called together to consider the changes in the tariff about to be proposed by the Minister of Trade, will be concluded in a week or eight days. The financial result of the contemplated alterations iz the scale of import and export duties will be a reduction of the present revenue of the Verein to the amount of 1,045,000 thalers. The loss on the duty on articles of food is estimated at 575,000 thalers ; on the duties remitted and reduced on raw materials of manufacture, 272,000 thalers ; by allowance of drawbacks on exportation, 198,000 thalers ; of this amount of loss to the whole revenue of the Union, about 517,000 thalers will be borne by Prussia alone. The reduction of transit and river tolls will be at tended by a decrease of revenue to Prussia alone of 347,000 thalers ; so that she gives up by the revision in all a yearly revenue of 918,000 thalers. A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin, of the 13:11 init., in the Kolner Zeitung, states, that in the con ference which took place on the 1 1 th, Baden and Lippe-Schaumburg revoked the conditions which they had advanced on the subject of the League. Electoral Hessen, however, still refused to give a declaration before the definitive constitution of the Federal authority at Frankfort. In the same conference Prussia made sundry pro posals for the constitution of the " Board of Princes" and the Cabinet of the Union. The propositions were accepted ad referendum, and the debate on them was to take place on the 13th. Respecting the revision of the Bund Prussia pro poses that the League shall take part in a Con gress, but that they shall adopt the Prussian pro test of the 3d of May, and that they shall add another protest to the effect that they will not consent to the definitive constitution of the Grand Confederacy unless the League be recognised as an integral part of the same. Letters from Erfurt of the 10th inst., in the Ober postamts Zeitung, states that instructions have been issued by the Berlin Hcme-office, from which it ap pears that the Parliament is to meet again on the 26th ins*. The Frankfort journals publish the dispatch of the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs to the diplomatic agents in the different states of Germany, with respect to the Austrian circular on the establishment of a new Central Government. It is dated the 3d, and commences by expressing regret at the negotiations of Austria and Prussia for the establishment of a new Central Govern- ment having been without result ; but it says that the Prussian Government had made the propositions which it considered most simple and the best adapted to circumstances, and that in consequence it declined to assume the responsibili'y arising from the fact that the powers of the ad interim Central Commission of Frankfurt had expired before a new Central Govern ment was appointed. With respect to the Congress convoked at Frankfort by Austria, the , dispatch observes that the King of Pussia had invited his allies to honour him with their visit on the Bth,: accompanied by their Ministers, in order to deliberate on the measures to be adopted ; and it says that it is on the result of these delibe rations that the subsequent policy of the Govern ment will entirely depend. The note then goes on to protest against the language of the Austrian note, which causes it to be supposed that the Austrian Cabinet convokes the Congress at Frankfurt to re present the old Diet, and in virtue of the powers which the presidency of that Diet conferred on it ; as it says the Diet is dissolved, and the powers have ceased. Nevertheless, it does not dispute the right of Austria to convoke a Congress; but it declares that the states which may not take part in it will not be bound by its decisions. The Berlin committee for managing the transport of articles to be sent by German manufacturers to the Exposition of Industry in London, has issued advertisements requesting exhibitors to send in descriptions of the goods to be sent. They will be carried free of expense to the three cities of Cologne, Dantzic, and Berlin, and from thence to London ; free carriage back is also guaran teed. The Government undertakes to insure them, during the period of the exhibition, from damage or destruction by fire. Similar arrangements have been made in Brunswick, and will probably be made in most of the States of the Zoliverein. The new railway that will connect Dresden with Prague, passing along the valley of the Etbe, and for a considerable part of the way on the immediate bank of the river, was opened on the 10th from Dresden to Konigstein. Toe Austrian Congress of States was opened at Frankfort on the 11th. Ten plenipotentiaries took part in the proceedings; among them was the re presentative of the Electorate of Hesse. The So vereign of this State is still among the princes at tending the Congress of Berlin. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The advises by the America making the deficiency in the receip's of cotton at the ports cf the states 586,000 hales, have added i ll per lb. to the prices of most descriptions in the Liverpool market. The effect on our Exchange has.bee,n a slight enhancement of the quotations for water twist, and for some counts and qualities of male also. Both the shippers and home consumers, however, have met this small requirement very coolly ; for the most pat contenting themselves, in the absence of any urgent orders, with what was to be had at previous rates; yet thus, in many instances, paying what they refused to give last week. We have Aad some deg ree of irregularity in the prices asked b y spinners; but not withstanding the inanimate charaqte r o f th bu.iiness da:sr' and the limited extent of the about effected,. .selling, have manifested much indif ference.except on their own terms.. rl-. -.. , e tone ing, things able in th e of is less favour vain to ask goodshigher printingin prices. qualit7leosderate request While a the h e betteprevious r rates,. the lower sale than they were.maapollams and lo w 6.4 d rather m ore diff icu l t o f are jac conets are very fl a t, and inclined In 40-inch skirtings hardly to droop in value anything can be don e .

R O CHDALE, MONDAY. — The flannel market h as been dull and inactive today, and prices stationary, Wool has und er g one little chan g e, and the °"l7. manufac turers continue to buy very sparingly. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have still to not e business doing to a moderate extent in manufactured goods ; several buyers have paid us a visit the last few days. We hear, however, of weavers now waiting o for work, which may be owing to the change of patterns for the autumn season. The throwsters, although working full time, are in the same dull po sitiJn we have noted for some weeks past. In the raw silk market, some of the merchants having lowered their pretensions upon the extreme rates they were holding for, a few large parcels of Chinas have found ready buyers at about previous prices ; in other classes not much doing. HALIFAX, SATUEDAY.—The worsted trad e con tinues . steady, b ut b y no means an i ma t e d, and there is no alteration in prices. The demand for yarn is pretty much the same as it was, and the quotations are stationary. Th e woo l market is quiet,and the staplers are free se ll ers at l ate rates. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—We have had fair average mar kets at the cloth halls, both on Saturday and to-day. The manufacturers continue busy,low. stocks keep There is a fair business doing i and in the ware houses, but the unfavourable weather n has somewhat curtailed the sale of spring goods. EX TENSI YE FORGERIES. Li.v.aaPOOL, TUESDAY—Yesterday afternoon at three o'clock the prisoner Wm. Threlfall, who was ap prehended at the George Hotel, in this town, on Fri day, charged with extensive forgeries, principally upon the Hull Flax and Cotton Mill Company, was again placed in the dock. Mr. Blair, the barrister, instructed by Mr. Harvey, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. ASO. nall, the barrister, instructed by Mr. .13n-mnor, of this town, and Mr. Barrat', solicitor of Leeds, again de fended the prisoner, The court was crowded by mercantile men, as on the previous occasion, and every available seat was occupied, so that the representatives of the local press had to stand by the prisoner in the dock. The pri soner, who is a stout man, of florid complexion, and rather gray, appeared deeply to feel the awkward po sition in which he was placed. Mr. T. Bourne, the broker, and Mr. Langton, the manager, of the borough bank, were again examined, and spoke to the bills of exchange purporting to be accepted by Mr. Rylands, the ,chief manager of the Hull Flax and Cotton Mill Company. Superintendent Towerson produced the two stamps or frames of letters alluded to in the examination on Saturday. The inscriptions on the frames were, "Hull Flax and Cotton Mill Company," and the other, " Chief manager." He also found in the bag a tin box, containing red paint. He had compared the stamp with the impre s sions on the bills, and they perfectly corresponded. He produced a piece of paper on which there were some impressions of the stamp ; also a piece of cloth with a preparation of red paint upon it, together with a bottle of red ink. He pro duced two pieces of paper, one of which contained a I copy of a bill of exchange for 8541., dated the 2d of October, 1849, and drawn by the prisoner, purporting to be accepted by Joseph Rylands, per pro. Hull Flax and Cotton Mill Company, and also copy of a bill of the same date and same drawer for 5001, ac cepted by the chief manager of the above company ; also a paper purporting to be the copy of a bill for 500/., dated August 1, 1849, drawn by William Thelfell, and accepted per pro. the Hull Flax and Cotton Mill Company, by Joseph Rylands ; also another bill for the same amount of a similar cha muter. There were numerous other papers in the bag, consisting of bills, letters, books, memoranda, and so forth. The letters were addressed to the pri soner. He found the book produced, which contained particulars of the two bills which the prisoner was charged with forging. There were in the bag several blank bills, which be produced. In cross-examination Mr. Aspinall asked the contents of the bag, and the officer pointed to several bundles of papers upon the table, which the Learned Counsel requested might be marked. Among-t other documents he found a banker's bill for 897/. 104. [ Mr. Rushton objected to this course of examination as irrelevant] He found a Bank of England note of 1,000/. in the prisoner's pocketbook, and another of 2001. ; and in the bag 3/. 14s. 10d. in coin ; also ten blank bill stamps. He also found a bill for 2,0001., dated " Manchester, Dec. 19, 1849," drawn by W. Threlfall to the order of himself, at three months' date, upon the Hull Flax and Cotton Mill Company, at Hull, payable in London, accepted at Sir Charles Price and Co.'s bankers, London • pp. Hull Flax and Cotton Mill Company, J. Rylands, chief manager, due the 22d March, and endorsed, "W. Threlfall," paidlMessrs. Overhead and Co., or order; Oakes, Bevan, and Co.; pp. Overhead and Co., R. Pelly ; received for Barclay, Bevan, aed Co., C. T. King, or some name resembling that. Another Bill was for 1,0001., Manchester, at three months' date, drawn by William Threlfall, to his order, upon the Hull Flax and Cotton Mill Company, pay able in London, accepted as in the last bill, and not endorsed. Another bill was accepted the same as the last, but the body of the bill was not filled up at all, neither was it signed. Another for 1,500/., dated Manchester, 3d May, 1850, drawn by W. Threlfall, at three months' date, to his own order upon the Hull Flax and Cotton Mill Company, and accepted as the last, was endorsed " W. Thelfall." Another for 2,000/, dated Manchester, 26th April, 1840, drawn by W. Threlfall at three months' date, upon the Hull Flax and Cotton Mill Company, payable in London, and accepted as the last bill, and en d orse d, " W. Tlarelfall. , ' Another was for 1,000/., dated Manches ter, 24th April, 1850, drawn by W. Threlfall to his own order at three months' date on the Hull Flax and Cotton Mill Company, payable in London, and accepted as the last bill, endorsed " W. Threlfall." Mr. J. Rylands, chief manager for the Hull Flax and Cotton Mill Company at Hull, was next exa mined, and proved the several bills purporting to be accepted by him to be forgeries. In cross-examination by Mr. Aspinall, witness stated that the prisoner had bought shares in the Hull Flax and Cotton Mill Company, but he, witness, did not know whether he was registered for them or not. He had had money dealings with the prisoner on ac count of the company. Had dealt with him to the extent of 10,0001. or 15,0001. during the last twelve months. They held securities of the prisoner's to the amount of 516,0001. There were 150 proprietors in the company. The prisoner was then committed to take his trial at the next Liverpool assizes. Mr. Rushton refused to admit the prisoner to bail. There are various rumours in town as to the extent of the forgeries, which are variously stated at from 20,000/. to 60,0001. ; but there is a desire to make as little as possible of the case, on the part of the autho rities and the professional gentlemen employed. LAW INTELLIGENCE. SECONDARIES' COURT, May 15. (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) FALSE IMPRISONMENT—MACDONALD v. BROXIIOLME. This was a writ of inquiry to assess damages for false mprisonment, defendant having admitted his liability by allowing judgment to gu by default . . Mr. Slaws; stated the case. The plaintiff is a young gentleman, a surgeon's assistant, and was formerly in the service of a gentleman named Brown, from whence tie went to live with the defendant, who is a chemist at Holloway. In October last a disagreement took place between the plaintiff and defendant, and the plaintiff in sisted on leaving. Defendant, however, charged the plaintiff with stealing a book, and sent a servant to him to say that if he would confess that he had taken it and return the book he (defendant) would forgive him. Plaintiff, knowing himself to be innocent, of course could not comply, and defendant ultimately sent a policeman, who took the plaintiff into custody at eight o'clock on the morning of Sunday, the 7th of October, and he was taken to the station-house, where he was locked up till Monday morning, when he was taken before the magistrate, and was remanded at his own request till the next day, when he was admitted to bail. Whilst plaintiff was in custody he was searched, and a key was found, which he said belonged to a box of his which was at his late master's, Mr. Brown's. The officer proceeded there and searched the box, and also a small parcel which had been left by plaintiff with the servant girl, in which were a few lozenge drops and other trifling articles, which defendant claimed as his own. Plaintiff was tried at the Central Criminal Court, when defendant admitted that he had not lost the book, and the jury stopped the case before the defence was concluded, and gave a verdict of not guilty. The Learned Counsel contended that the charge was completely trumped up, and that the defendant's conduct was either malicious or had been male to prevent the plaintiff from claiming the salary he would have been entitled to at the expiration of six months. He founded this opinion on the tact that after plaintiff had threatened to bring an action against defendant for slander in charging him with stealing the b iok, defendant told Mr. Brown that he was obliged to give plaintiff in charge, or uu the Monday he would have had an action brought against him fur defamation of character and for wages. The Learned Counsel ccnsidered this a case calling for heavy damages. Police-constable, S 154, proved the apprehension of the plaintiff under the circumstances described by the Learned Counsel. Mr. Brown, son to the plaintiff's former employer, was called, and proved that the defendant said that it• he had not done as he had he would have •had an action brought against him for defamation of character and for wages. Georgina Borthwick, who was servant to defendant, proved that he had sent her to plaintiff to charge him with tealing the book, and defendant said he would forgive him if he confessed. On another occasion he said that he would see the plaintiff hanged. Her master had spoken to the customers in the shop, and charged plaintiff with misconduct. Mr. PARRY eross-examined the witnesses and ad dressed the jury in mitigation of damages, urging that there were reasonable grounds of suspicion to justify the defendant giving the plaintiff into custody. He con tended that defendant would have been able to prove the facts, if the action had been for malicious prosecution, instead of trespass for false imprisonment. The Learned Counsel denied that there was any malice. The jury gave a verdict for 70/. Ci 'OURT OF BANKRUPTCY, May 15. (Before Mr. Commissioner FA.NE.) is kit MARTIN LUTHER PRITCHARD.--JUDGMENT. The case of this bankrupt, the sharebroker of Liver- Pool, has b een frequently before the Court. To-day was fixed for his Honour to give the questi of theo bankrupt p ass i ng his last ex amination.judgment upon . .. _ Hi a l lotiona, in the course of an elaborate judgment, examined the accounts, and went into the objections urged against the bankrupt, and concluded by saying that he considered the accounts sufficient, and that the bankrupt was entitled to pass his last examination.

It appeared from the evidence of the wife that she had not been long married to the prisoner, who shortly after their union commenced ill-treating her, returning home intoxicated, and picking quarrels without the least provocation. Very recently one of her relations died and left her a legacy, since which the prisoner had become more dissolute and violent, had frequently threatened to murder her, and she went in fear of her life. On Tuesday he left his residence in BAll's Pond. common, Islington, and in the course of the night he returned home with a Young woman, whom he introduced i nto the p arlour, and, addressing her, said—" In future you shall be the mistress of this place; she (meaning tearing through have nothing witness) shall to do with it." And he told the young w omen to prepare and go to bed. Witnes s, his' threats and forum' vi 0140901 ' - THE LONDON, that her life was in danger, he having sworn just be fore that if she (witness) said one word he would break her chest in, she made towards the parlour• window and made her escape. The prisoner immediatedly pursued her with violent threats, and in the greatest alarm she called out " Murder," when Baker, the officer, came to her assistance, or she felt assured that she would have been murdered by the prisoner. The officer took him into custody, when he resisted in a desperate manner, and fought, struggled, and kicked at him until he was safely secured in the station-house. Baker, the constable, and Sergeant Milgate, 3 N, con firmed this evidence. They never met with a more vio lent fellow in the course of their existence. The latter officer described the wife to be a respectable, industrious woman, and the prisoner, on the-contrary, a dissolute, idle person. Mr. CONBZ asked the prisoner what he had to say to such unmanly and cowardly conduct? The prisoner (blubbering loudly like a great baby)—She aggravates me.—(Laughter.) Mr.Comi3E—Why, it shows that you are a great cowardly fellow, capable of what has been attributed to you, or you would not stand there blubbering like a child. I shall fine you 40s. for the assault upon your wife, or, in default of payment, one month's imprison ment in the House of Correction. Prisoner (crying)—Oh, pray don't. Mr. CoMBE—Aud I shall commit you to the House of Correction. for one month, with hard labour, with out fine, for the assault upon Baker, the officer. (To the wif:)—And when ho is releasei from prison, you may exhibit articles of the peace against him at the sessions. She said she would do so; and the prisoner was locked up, crying. Thompson, the driver of ono of Warboy'a Paddington and Kennington omnibuses, was re-examined, charged with having caused the death of Catherine Nolan, four years and a half,old, by driving over her body, in,Gray's Inn-road, on Monday last. A coroner's inquest had been held upon the body of the deceased child before Mr. Wakley. Several wit nesses were examined, and after a strict investigation the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death," without attributing any or the least blame to the driver of the vehicle, who bore a good character as a steady driver, &c. Mr. CONBE, under these circumstancps, discharged him from his recoguissoces. ` SOUTHWARK. John Roussell was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a gold watch from Miss Ann Crump, of 103, High .11,1 born, in the box cloak-room of the Surrey Theatre. The complainant stated that on the preceding night she went to the boxes of the Surrey Theatre, accom ' panied by a gentleman, a friend of the family; that when the performance concluded she walked, to the cloak room, and while waiting amongst others for her bonnet, she observed the prisoner standing immediately in front of her. He, however, moved a little back and stood by her left side, and he had not been long in this position when she felt a slight movement at her pocket, which was underneath her shawl, and in the front part of her dress. She turned and looked at the prisoner, and distinctly saw a portion of the gold chain of her watch in his hand, which "he let fall the moment he was observed. She at once put her hand to her pocket, and found her gold watch was 'gone, it having been unscrewed from the swivel by which it was attached to the chain, which was left hanging out of the pocket. Upon this discovery she seized the prisoner and ex claimed that he had robbed her of her gold watch, which caused some confusion, but she held him until a police man came up, and she then gave him into custody. He was searched on the spot, but the watch, which it is sus pected he passed to an associate, was not found in his possession. He asserted that he was a respectable man, and it appeared that he subsequently gave a wrong ad dress to the policeman, who stated th a t the prisoner be longed to a gang of well-dressed thieves who frequented the theatres and other places of amusement. Sergeant Berry stated that he WAS present at the Bow-street police-court when the prisoner was convicted and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. The prisoner, who merely said that he was innocent of the present charge, was committed far . trial. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—So we have at last had a pure Protectionist motion, aimed point black at the Corn-law Acts of 1846. There has been nothing of the hind before, at all events this session, for the party from which we have a right to expect such a proceeding is usually content with a more disguised and sinuous policy. The man to throw himself into the gap has been Mr. Grantley Berkeley, and his immolation on the altar of Protection we can only account for by a reference to the usage of bar barous tribes, who are every now and then directed by their oracles to sacrifice the first stranger that lands on tbeir shores. The Hon. Member for West Gloucester. shire, after drifting some time on the ebb and flow of opinion, according to the ups and downs of the market, has been.at last fairly stranded on the desolate beach of TProtection, so the natives have laid hold of hi m , an d on uesday night we were edified by the spectacle of his so lemn cremation on that shrine were so many great minds, reputation. and virtues have been red uce d t o ashes and dust. reputations, Grantley Berkeley, however, it must be said, was a perfttctly spontaneous victim. His announcement that he was that very rare thing, a re creant free-trader, was made with the utmost confidence and zest. Had he enveloped his shoulders in a pone tential white sheet, and borne a taper in his hand, he could not have delivered his confession in a more solemn and deliberate manner. There were difficulties, indeed, which he could not wholly get over. Notwithstanding a competent degree of that assurance which is usually associated with simplicity, Mr. G. Berkeley did not succeed in making a clear and effective speech. It was blurred and contused, like a palimpsest, a parchment from which an oration from Cicero has been imperfectly washed out, and a monkish legend substituted. In fact, it was the speech of a man who is either a free-trader at heart, or nothing at all ; and such is the man who, we repeat, has alone had the courage to propose a revision of our present corn-laws. Certainly we never read anything so un equal to the °cession. Mr. G. Berkeley is disappointed with the results of free trade, and he accordingly attacks Lord J. Russell and the Government. comparing them with Lord Stanley and his party, " You may now see who is your foe, and who is your friend," he says to the farmer; his only pretence for this contrast being some sensible rem irks by Lord John to the recent deputation, aqd some flummery addressed to the same persons by the Protectionist chief. But if Mr. G. Berkeley is dis appointed, what did he expect, and whose fault is it? He was born in the year 1800, so that he is either fifty or in his fiftieth year. He has sat for his county eighteen years. He has always lived in the world; and is r supposed to know what he is about. Yet he consi ders himself duped by free trade, and calls its pro moters ill-names, because they have taken him in. He copies into the House gasping and stuttering, and says that he is just recovering from . some political chloro form, administered to him four years ago by those noted characters, Cobden, Peel, an d R usse ll. He his been hocussed by the Lancashire witches. We can only say that for a man of his time of life it is a very lame story. These things were not done in a corner. The repeal of the corn-laws was not smuggled through the House. Oa the contrary, nearly a whole session was given to the discussion of the subject in every pos sible form, in every available stage, and in every con ceivable manner. This, too, after a seven y ears ' contro versy out of doors. We cannot understand, then, with what face Mr. G. Berkeley can come forward and charge Ministers with having deceived him. If an error has been committed, let him take his share of the blame. Let him confess with as much unction as he pleases that he made a mistake, that he expected uniform high prices, constant employment, and universal prosperity. When he has made this confession, then we shall know better how to estimate his present observations on the subject. But Mr. G. Berkeley's disappointment has partly arisen, •he suggests, from another source. Our free-trade Government has not practised so stringent an economy, and reduced agricultural burdens so much as•he expected, and as he intimates they promised. If so, why confine last night's motion to a revision of the corn-laws, and why not move the House on the subjects of public economy and agricultural relief ? Everybody is expecting ever) body else to do this, and everybody is blaming everybody else for not doing it. Mr. G. Berke ley intimates that Lord John Russell ought to have volunteered so me relief f or t h e agr i culturists, and inas much as they seem rather at a loss to know quite what they want, his Lordship ought to have discovered the particular object of their desires. •He was not only to have interpreted the dream, but also recalled the dream itself to the treacherous memory of the Protection. ists. Certainly, in the present constitution of things, it is rather a novel suggestion that a Prime Minister is to be employed in finding out wants not only for his own friends, but also for his opponents, and is to nurse the two babies at mice. This would be to lead the opposition as well as his own friends. The discovery of fit measures for the special relief of the agriculturists properly appertains to themselves. They are, however, generally of opinion just now that nothing will do them any good except what they call an efficient protection. This was the purport of one of their resolutions the other day at the Crown and Anchor. Indeed, Mr. G. Berkeley himself does not drop a word in his relief speech from which we can conjecture what me asures of special relief he desires for the agri en le turist, except a duty on corn. He says th a t t h e w n h o at uld to be the a agree' . repeal le o r t ist t , h b e ui du b t e y doeson burioetkssayis relief, though he abuses Government for n ot having sup. gested something themselves. The division is conclu sive-184 for Mr. G. Berkeley's motion, 298 against it.: A majority of 114 is a very ample margin for the con versions with which we have been threatened. As Mn, Disraeli observed last night, the debate was simply a resuscitation of that which took place four years since. Since Mr. Berkeley cenfined himself to general assertion of ruin and misery, giving neither figures nor date, it is quite unnecessary to follow him through the meander trigs of a querulous tirade. We expected something better. He has added nothing to the controversy, not an idea, not a fact. Th e on l y t hi ng h e urges i s th a t which we have all heard often enough—that corn bas been low since l as t h arvest. Till last harvest the prices i ri f ile c d o h r i n gh a e n n d nug al h l ; i o n t d h e e ed r the agricultural average of wheat i h u a e d e February, 1846, has been higher than it was for the four ever e h y t tmonthsme pr has i i c t es ra certainly an dto been lo years im me di ately previous to that date. 'For the last 11, ever, to b e seen whether Parliament ie to be invoked remains, administerhow to some stimul ant or restorative p w e . 11; t d to the agricult ura l p a ti en t. It is the o ffi ce o f Parliament t whole people, n o t a cordial f: tlthisa regim en fo r th e is or that sickly or craving class. Wh at i f corn has been low lately? It is rising. There will be ups and downs, and al ways been. It Parliament intervenes to alleviate the h r ave os of a temporary abundance, it may soon be called on neutralize the inconveniences of a temporary dearth. And where will that end SUN, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 16, 1850. THE SUICIDE FROM THE YORK COLUMN. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held by Mr. Bed ford, the coroner for Westminster, in the board-room of St: Martin's workhouse, on the body of M. H enr i S te . phan, a French, gentleman, who committed suicide on ruesday morning last, by precipitating himself from the Duke of York's column, in St. James's Park. The circumstances attending this most spelling act of elf-destruction excited considerable interest, and the in quest-room was crowded. The jury proceeded to view the body of the deceased gentleman, which presented a most frightful appearance, and on their return to the inquest•room the following evidence was taken:— Mr. William Fish stated that he was the hall-keeper at ber Majesty's Theatre, a::c1 that he knew the de ceased, Henri Josephe Stephan, very well. He was 38 years of age, and held the situation of horn-player in the orchestra of her Majesty's Theatre. He saw the leceased on Monday last, as it formed part of his duty to check the attendance of every person engaged in the theatre. The deceased then looked very dull, but wit ness had no conversation with him. During the whole Jf the present opera season he had appeared duller than he was last year. Had seen the body and identified it as that of M. llenri Stephan. M. Emile Petit, a brother-in-law of the deceased, re aiding in Gerrard-street, Soho, said that he was em ployed as under ballet-master at her Majesty's Theatre, and lived with the deceased. Deceased had been very dull and unwell for a long period. At times he did not think that he was rational, as he could get no distinct answer from him. He frequently complained of a pain in his chest, and was confused in his mind. He had a good situation, and his circumstances were not bad. He had not been disappointed in his circumstances. To a Juror—Knew of no cause whatever for unhappi ness, as he held a good situ a ti on . William Smith, of No. 9, Carey-street, Vincent square, stated that he was the keeper of the York column, and saw the deceased on Tuesday morning, at about a quarter-past ten. He looked at a board affixed to the column, and asked him what was the charge. Witness answered that it was sixpence, upon which the deceased took out his purse, and handed witness a three penny-piece and threepence in halfpence. When de ceased asked the question witness saw nothing peculiar in his manner. Witness then gave another man the money, and followed the deceased up the column, as it was his usual practice to do so. When deceased got to the 'op of the column he immediately turned round in the opposite direction to the door, and was out of sight or witness in a moment. He was gone over before witness had time to reach the top, and therefore he did not see how he got over. The object of witness going up was the prevention of accidents. Before he was aware of what had occurred, his attention was drawn to some thing from the alarm given by the persons below. The deceased was not up more than an instant before it oc curred. The railings round the column are more than four feet in height. By a Juror—lt would not be possible for any person to overbalance himself, and fall over the railings. Mr. H. Hutton, of No. 56, Mortimer -street, Caven dish-square, bookseller and stationer, deposed that on Tuesday morning, at about halt-past ten, he was walk ing near the York Column, in Waterloo-place, and on looking up saw a man put his legs over the railings of the column. He rested for a moment on the stone ledge in front, then pushed himself forwards, and precipitated himself from it. In his descent - he turned round two or three times, and then struck against the base of the co lumn, finally falling on the foot pavement with his arm under him. A large pool of blood was immediately formed from the injuries he had sustained. He was quite dead when witness got up to him. Mr. Hutchinson, of New-street, Fetter-lane. also stated that he saw the deceased in his descent. He was then about 24 feet from the top. The first intimation be received was from seeing a man's bat come down. The deceased fell head-foremost on the pavement. Mr. John Bainbridge, surgeon, said that he had made a post mortim examination of the body of the deceased. The forehead was much bruised, the right arm was broken. The bottom of the right foot was also consi derably injured, and some of the smaller bones protruded. There were besides several bruises on the abdomen, and both thighs, and the left leg was fractured near to the knee. The spine was broken and protruded, and on opening the chest, he found that every rib *as broken. There were besides several other extensive injuries, any one of which was sufficient to cause death. He bad examined the brain, which was perfectly healthy, and he could find no trace of incipient disease. The jury deemed any further evidence unnecessary as to the cause of death. 4 0 0 10 0 0 4 12 6 4% In answer to• the question of the CORONER, Smith, the keeper of the column, said that no person was allowed to ascend the column on the day of the fatal occurrence, but a great number had been admitted on Wednesday. The CORONER then sumraed up the evidence with great care. The Jury returnei a verdict—" That the deceased came by his death from injuries received by throwing himself from the York Column while in a state of tempo rary insanity." The Foreman said the jury also wished to add that it was their unanimous opinion that with a view to the pre vention of similar occurrences in future the column should have the protection of an iron railing on the same prin ciple as had been adopted at the Monument in the City of London. The CORONER thought, after this event, such a re commendation would hardly be required ; but, at any rate, it should be forwarded to the proper authorities. THE HEALTH OF LONDON. (From the Return of the Registrar-General.) The deaths registered in the metropolitan districts in the week ending last Saturday were, 857. Taking ten corresponding weeks of the years 1840-9, it appears that the number now returned is less than in the years 1847.9 ; that it is also less than in 1843, PRICES OF.

The so urce resorted to is the Henley Reach of the River Thames, after th a t r i ver h as rece i ve d the waters of the' K ennett and the Loddon. The purity of the water there is estab lished by all p as t i nqu iries; and the Bill contains c l auses for the preservation of the navigation of the river. The water will be brought by an aqueduct sometimes open, some times covered, but in no part navigable, to a reservoir at the foot of Hampstead-hill; whence it will be pumped up to such an elevation as to supply the top of the highest house in London by its own gravity. In times of flood, water will be poured through the Grand Junction and Padding-. ton Canals, for the purpose of flushing the sewers. The execution of the powers of the Act is entrusted, not to a Crown Commission or to a joint •stock company, but to a representative commission, elected in the first instance by the boards of guardians in the metropolis, and subsequently by the rate-payers in the same way as they elect guardians of the poor. No, profit is to be derived from the under taking. The rate-payers of London are to find money for the execution of it, and to them the Bill gives, as to them constitutionally belongs, th e administration of the fund s which they cont r ib ute . Powers are contained in the Bill for the purchase of existing water-works, if the companies think fit to sell them. Males, Females ...

The total d ea th s from the aymotic or epidemic class of diseases con tinue to be less numerous than usual, amounting only to 146, while the corrected average is 179 ; from smallpox there were 4, from measles 14; from boop ing cough, 36; and typhus, 26; the mortality from each of these epidemics being less than the average. l?rom diarrhoea there were 8, which is about the average ; this disease exhibits a decline on former weeks. But scarlatina shows an increase, the num • bers in the last three returns have been 21, 17, and 25, whilst the average for last week is 24. Five children under five years of age died of infantile or remittent fever ; four persons of influenza ; and 7 of erysipelas. A woman of 54 years died of scurvy.

The mortality from consumption continues un usually low; this disease carried off 116 persons, whilst the corrected average is 145 ; and in the cor responding weeks of 1840-9 it ranged from 117 to 148.

Williams, the ex-Member for Coventry, have raised an opposition against the directors for:m ere p ar ty p ur p oses , wou ld sus t ain a signal defeat, has been realised to a mortifying extent, which we must confess we did not anticipate. In power end influence we knew the Liverpool opposition to be thoroughly insignificant and contemptible, but we did think that before they determined to put the company to large expenditure in issuing proxy stamps, seriously interrupting the business of the management, and creating mischievous doubts respecting its wisdom and efficiency—we did, we repeat, imagine that they had calculated their forces, end would possibly make a "decent death of it." The factious opposition of the northern section of shareholders has, however, more than verified the fable of the mountain and the mouse. After all the bluster and " fury," their noise really "signifies" a comparative "nothing." They have literally "moved heaven and earth" in whipping up proxies, and have resorted to all those little economical manoeuvres which, in these days of railway depression, are so well calculated to enlist in their support the natural nervousness of railway shareholders, but with a lamentably miserable result. The information we have obtained, and which we believe may be fully relied on, is, that the directors have had their policy sanctioned by not onlylan overwhelming but an annihilatinglmajority of votes, and an enormous preponderance of the stock of the company—ti) an extent, in fact, that can scarcely fail to astonish even i\lr. W. Williams and his '` demo nical" friends. We trust that this defeat will have a proper effect upon the ex-Member for Coventry and his party. Since writing the above we have been put in pos session of a fact that will, we think, be quite conclusive with the Great Western shareholders on the injurious tendency of the niggardly policy which the section of Liverpool shareholders would, if they could, pursue in reference to the salaries of the able and zealous offi cers of the company. Mr. Seymour Clarke,the present traffic superintendent of the line, has been in the service of the company for upwards of 13 years; that is from its formation. With, perhaps, two or three exceptions a more valuable officer is not to be found in the com pany's service. In the course of the experimental in vestigations we have, during the last four or five %ears, been permitted by the courtesy of the management to make or to witness upon the Great Western, on the questions of railway accommodation and economy. we have, on numerous occasions, had opportunities of judging of Mr. Clarke's ability, ald of his untiring indefatigability in promoting the interests of the undertaking. We have, not °rico, twice, nor thrice, but more than fifty times, found him at the Paddington station long before the starting of the earliest train, and as frequently seen him oil the station to meet the last up train at night. At all times, and upon all portions of the line, we have witnessed his zeal and activity, and have on many occasions found our selves in the same compartment with him, and seen him, while on his journey, " hard at work," either engaged in reading his letters, or writing instructions to the station masters along the line, and which instructions we have noticed him leave at the various stations. Kied-hearted, but firm, in his conduct to all persons under him, he has earned a railway character which he may be justly proud of. At the time the consultation committee commenced its labours, his thirteen years' hard, valuable, and very responsible service!, had earned for him a salary of 9001. per annum. The consummation of the " economy" of the Liverpool section of shareholders would reduce his salary to 6001 a year. And what is the consequence of the attempted introduction of such a policy? He retires from the compaay whose interests he has greatly promoted, and goes, at a higher salary, 43 superintendent of the Great Northern Railway. Tots is the third able officer whose retirement from the ser vice is attributable to the wretched policy of the Liver pool economists. And this is not all. Immediately the report of the consultation committee was circulated, se veral of the valuable assistants resigned their situation, being utterly without hope of benefiting themselves otter a long period of service. We are personally cog nisant of the fact that the company are at this moment suffering seriously from the consequences of the econo mical interference of Mr. W. W. Williams and his party. For the apparent saving of a paltry amount per annum the Great Western Company lose the services of one of the most able, if not the most able railway superintendent of the country. So much for an unjust and a beggarly economy.—Herald. UNIVERSLTY INTELLIGENCE.
