in trb Xbitton FRAN CE. Mr. Locke, the English engineer, is at present in Paris. He and M. Charles Laffitte, representing an English company, have applied to the Government for the concession of the Paris and Lyons Railway, and it is considered probable that their application will be successful. _ _ The directors of the Bank of France have an nounced a dividend of 51C rancs per share of the capital stock for ;the half-fear ending the 31st of December. The National makes the following caustic observa tions on the trial of ALLAH : " Judgment has been passed on Allais. Nothwith• standing the brilliant defence of M. Desmarets, the pri soner was found guilty or lodging calumnious informa tions, and sentenced accordingly. We have not to examine that verdict ; we have only to enregister the issue of a trial in which, after all, there were engaged interests entirely unconnected with our cause. But at least we may be permitted to seize on this occasion to address a merited eulogium to the magistwes con cerned. For what took place ? A police agent lodged in'•ormations of a plot against the President of the As sembly and General ChangarnLr. It c, rtainly was difficult to bring forward any accusation more calculated to excite the indignation cf all well-thinking men. But by the side of the grave accusation made there was every appearance of its being untrue. How dd the magistrates act ? Did they arrest, as too frequently occurs, the persons designated? Did they place them in secret confinement? Jo a word, did they use against them all the severity which the law permitted? No. And it is•for that conduct that we praise them. They did not consider the indications given as sufficient to tear from their families and their affairs men of whom nothing proved the culpability more than a police accu sation; they found means of arriving at the truth with out having need of recurring to the means which we have just mentionei. No person was takes. up, no one was imprisoned, all their severity fell on the falee informer. Once more we declare that we cannot too much praise such a manner of proceeding. We only regret that such a course is an exception to the general mode of acting, and that the first time we have to declare this should be in a Bonapartist matter." GERMANY. The Deutsche Zeitung states from Cassel that the extravagant demands ot the Austrian Commissioner, Count Leiningen, have excited terror and indignation among the population of Hesse. From the state ments of the above-mentioned paper, it would appear that Count Leiningen holds a most absolute and irresponsible sway throughout the Electorate, and that the efforts of the Prussian Commis sioner are altogether paralysed by his crafty and powerful colleague. All the stipulations to which General Peucker had agreed in his negotiations with the Chief Court of Appeal at Cassel have been directly violated and flatly contradicted by the Austrian Com missioner. The Court had promised to yield a con ditional obedience to the decree of the 4th September, but Count Leiningen, supported by 5,000 bayonets, required a surrender at discretion, an unconditional recognition of all the Elector's decrees, and when reminded of the stipulations which General Peucker had sanctioned by his consent, Count Leiningen is asserted to have protested " that he exacted obe dience, not on the ground of the Olmutz stipulations, but as Commissioner of the Federal Diet," and that, in the latter quality, " he knew nothing of a Prussian Commissioner." The Kolner Zeitung states, from Frankfort, that General Peucker has entered a most energetic pro. test against the late proceedings of the Austrian or Federal Commissioner. The rumour even went so far as to mention another advance of the Prussian troops to support General Peucker's protest, but this statement, as it is unsupported by other intelligence, appears of course unfounded, or (to say the least) premature. Considerable anxiety was felt at Frank fort respecting the issue of the struggle in Hesse. The following dispatch, dated Vienna the 17th instant, has been addressed by Prince Schwarizen berg to only a very few of the important Ministers of the Emperor in foreign countries : " You have been informed by my dispatch of the 27th ult. that the Baron de Manteuirel had demanded of me in the most earnest manner an interview, and that some hours later he informed me by the tel , graph that, in pur suance of the positive orders of the King of Prussia, he should proceed to Olmutz without even waiting for my answer. His Majesty the Emperor considered it his duty to meet the wishes so ardently expressed by the King. I consequently received the order to repair to Olmutz, where I conferred, cn the 27th and 29th ult., with the Minister, M. de Manteuffel. It was necessary to vanquish great difficulties, in order that an effort at arrangement could at that moment produce any result. But we did not for a single instant forget how many interests were at a ake if, in the actual position of Europe, a conflict bt tween Austria and Prussia was not avoided; and we fully recognised how favourable was the concourse of circumstances to enable us to meet on such an oct a i in the sincere effo.ta of so decided a representative of the peace party in Prussia. Our sincere desire was to co operate in these effort., and to contribute as mech as possible in ensuring to them a victory over passions end ta:al pretensions. We have, then, been very much dis posed to prove by all means in our p , wer that we w, re very far from profitieg by the ham eft se ad v melees of our position to humil;a , e Prus-ia, or to deprive her of the por tion of influenc she is justly entitled to. We, moreover, soeglat to appreciate the benefits which would reset t from a sincere recoucuiation as highly as cur duties permitted to us. The subjoined protocol contains the result of the conferences at Olmutz. This protocol his received the approval of the Emperor, our most graciuus master, and also, as I learn from a dispatch from Berlin, that of his Majesty the King of Prussia. We have just recom mended it to our allies, in order that they may equally give it their approval. It will not escape your notice that the Imperial Cabinet while consenting to a cessation of the isolated position of Prussia in the affairs of the Germanic Confederation, will not have desired to make any sacrifice which could not have been male without prejudice to the eisential object of the policy followed by Austria and by the other German Governments that have remained faithful to their duties as members of the I,Confederation. In order to understand that it could not be otherwise, it is suffix Tent to cast a glance on the position we occupied previous to the Conferences of Oirnii . z, and on that we shall be ready to take in consequence of these Confer ferences. Austria entered into the lists to maintain the Federal Constitution of Germany created by treaties. It became our duty to enforce our absolute rights on th,s fundamental question, in which the foreign Powers them seiv a, as it appears to ue, could not remain completely, and without danger, neutral. From the very commence ment we have acted with confidence in the moral force of this position, and we have renounced, with general approbation, any thought of exer cising the least constraint with respect to the members of the Confederation who thought they could withdraw themselves from the recognition of the L gal organ of the Confedration. When these members oz the Confederation became thus excluded from their teak of watching in common over the affairs of the Con federation the measures of execution were necessarily limited to repel the attacks that might be attempted against the action of the Federal Diet, acting in virtue of the appeal that might be made on it by the States which recognized it. It became necessary fur us to prevent such attacks, and we did so by the obtaining from Prussia, from the commencement of the last mouth, the solemn assurances that the execution of the Federal decia ins in Electoral Hesse and in Holstein should not encounter any opposition. "Prussia has corroborated those assurances at Olmutz. In place of a simple laissez-faire, winch was not without grave inconvenience, she has offered her active co-opera non in the sense of the Federal decisions. Under these circumstances it becomes necessary to appreciate the great value of this recent and hype change, with refer ence to the grave questions which affect the Confederation. We have disclaimed all pretensions of a share in the di rection of the Federal affeirs out ide of legal forms, and disclaimed such so long as it could be feared that a con cession in this respect might become, in the hands of these wL o were lately our adversaries, a means of calling in qu- a tion the fundamental basis of the Conl'tderaion, aid tt“- acc( mplishm , nt of its duties, and oe thus putting in peril the equilibrium and the peace of Eurepe. But if these fears were successfully removed, if positive guarantees could be obtained that the action c f Prus-ie would be in harmony with the object of the Confederation, we ought to suggest to ourselves the question if in this case it would not be more . .dvantagt ous for the Federal body as for all Europe, while awaiting a comp!ete re organization of the Confederation, to open once more to the members who were not any longer separated from us but by mere difficulties of form the means of partici pation in the affairs of the Confederation. " The Imperial Cabinet could not hesitate to reply in the affirmative to this question in presence of the engagements contracted by Prussia at Olmutz. Even some time previously the Constitution of the Union of the 28th of May, 1849, had been abandoned, and there Was consequently a probability that the deliberations commenced with respect to the revision of the Federal Pact might be arranged so as to secure the approbation of all its members. "It was for these reasons that it was ag r eed at Olmutz to act in common and 'in conformity with the decisions of the Diet in t h e affairs ot Electoral Hesse and of Holstein. In this st ate nt affairs we were e; - Wed to undertake to persuade the Elector not to con tinue his reclamations against the stey of the Prue ,ian tro: ps in his states, and to suggest that by an express request uderessed to the Prussian Government he should afford that Government an opportunity of taking part— without any violation of the law—in the measures in tended to prcitv the country. " As for 1.6,1,tein it was the eccisions adopted at Frankfort, iu the name of the CoEfetlerttion, in which Russia undertook to co-operate. It is a great satisfac tion to us that the execution so warmly desired by all the Powers who signed the treatry concluded with Dee meek, is one of the first objects for the accomplishment of which the members of the Germanic Confederation air united." Nt - SWI T ZERLAND. I ipe rot still continues between the two \ Chtm r 04i:the subject of the military capitulations. ..., irbf State refus e t o a dh ere t o th e reso ems tel eacational C ounc il, w hi c h ma i nta i ns the • tee of the 20th June, 1849, prohibiting , x 4 c-' illations. The National Conneil, in its , cT me, v TIIE St N, sitting of the 19th, decided by 49 against 31 that it would not reconsider its resolution. The ques tion must, therefore, be deferred to the Council of State, which, if it persists on its side in refusing to modify its resolution, will, in fact, be granting the other Chamber more than it asks. The National Council, while it maintains the decree of the 20th of June, 1849, has adopted several modifications in the actual state of things relative to the existing capitu lations. If the Council of State refuses to receive the solu tion admitted by the National Council, things will remain in statu quo; that is to say, the decree of the 20th of Jane, 1849, will subsist in all its rigour, even in regard to the capitulations already concluded. The National Council was to hold its last sitting on Saturday, when the session of the Federal Assembly would be closed. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette of this day.) REDUCTION IN THE ARMY.—Orders have been issued to reduce the Ceylon Rifle Regiment 400 men. SOLD ERS' COMFORTS.—The following circular has just been isrued from the Hone Guards :—"Troops when proceeding by railway during the winter months, and in cold weather at other seasons of the year, are, invariabl), to wear their great coats. By command, "J. BROWN, Adjutant-General." MADRAS COMMAND.—We understand that Lieutenant- General Sir George Berkeley, K.C.8., will resign the command of the Maim Presidency on the arrival of General Sir William Gomm as Commander-in. Chief of the Indian Army, an officer junior in rank to Sir George. SHIPS ORDERED HOME.—The following ships have actually been ordered home to be paid off, having served their time on foreign stations. Most of them have re• ceived their orders, and are actually en route. We have placed to each the port at which they are likely to be put out of commission:— Powerful, 84, Mediterranean—Portsmouth. Asia, 84, Pacific—Sheerness. Meander, 44, Pacific—Chatham. Havanna, 19. New South Wales—Sheerness. Fly, 12, New South Wales—Devonport. Arab, 12, China—Chatham. Kingfisher, 12, Coast of Africa—Portsmouth. Spider, 6, Brazils—Devonport. Cyclops, s. f., 6, Coast of Africa—Woolwich. Antelope, s. v., Mediterranean—Portsmouth. THE CAPTAINS' RETIREMENT'OF 1846.—Captain Sa muel Burgess (Nov., 1830) has accepted the Captains' retirement of October, 1846, of 18s. per diem. This re. tirement brings Captain Rodney Mundy (1837) on the 12s. 6d. half-pay list. Captain Burgess is also in the receipt of a Greenwich out-pension. THE NEW SOUTH WALES AND NEW ZEALAND STA TION.—It is not unlikely that the Admiralty will allow Captain Sir Everard Hume, C. 8., Bart., now proceed ing to the New South Wales and New Zealand sta tions as senior officer, to hoist a blue pendant, and take command as a separate station instead of as a division of the East Indies and China station. Sir Everard, as it is well known, goes out in the Calliope, 26, with the Fantome, 12, under his command to relieve the Havanna, 19, Captain Erskine, and the Fly, 14, Commander R. A. Oliver. It is expected that the Calliope will leave England about the end of next month. She will then proceed to Sydney, which place she will reach about May. The Havanna and Fly are orded to be there to meet the Calliope and Fantome by the end of that month, and when Captain Erskine has delivered over the command in due form, the Havanna and Fly will return immediately to England to lie paid off._ THE OLD VICTORY.—This good ship has now been in Portsmouth harbour no less than 38 years. She has not been to sea since December, 1812. The Excellent, gunnery ship, has not been out of Portsmouth harbour since July, 1816, or more than 34} years. If tt ese ships could be set up on the beef bones served out to their respective crews, during their continuous harbour service, they would be nearer the sky than the tower oc Babel; and if the quantity of grog served out on board these two ships during the above period could be col lected together, it would make another Red sea. Professor Moseley has recently presented to the Ad miralty an excellent paper on the rollicg motion of ships, which the Admiralty have sent round to all their ch partments fir their information. THE ACHERON STEAK-VESSEL AT NEW ZEALAND.— The Admiralty ha►e wisely determined not to incur the expense of the voyage of the Acheron, surveying steam vessel, Captain Stokes, from New Zea Lind to England, or that of sending out another steamer to relieve her. Her condition in hull and machinery having been care fully a-certained, their Lordships have ordered her to be paid off at Sydney, and her officers and men desirous of a passage to England to be sent home in the Ha vanna and Fly. The necessary stores for repairs and re-equipment will be sent out by the men-of-war. She will be refitted on the station, and re-commissioned a. a tender to the Calliope; and as many of her crew, we pre sume, as feel disposed, will be re-entered in her for fur ther service. THE LATE COMMITTEE AT DEPTFORD.—The late committee at Deptford, namely, Commodore Eden, Cap tain Richards, C. 8., Mr. Nichols, of Greenwich Hos pital, and Mr. Tinhorn, secretary, have received the official thinks of the Admiralty for their late services and their able report. EMBAHHA.TI4 ,N OF TROOPS.—The ship Java, of 1,175 tons. has been engagE,A to convey the 47th ReAiment from Cot k to Corfu, the 36th Regiment from Cork to Barba do, s, the 66th Ftegitnent from Barbadoet to Qiebt c, and the 19th from Q tebec to Portsmouth. Commander Thomas Thom')lon has been appointed Shipping Master and Examiner in Seamanship of the Leith Marino Board. Cummanoer Walker (I,te Queen's Harbour Mister of Plym , nth), has been appointed to a similar office at the Plymouth Marine B gird. SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY.—The removal of the 91st Hegira nt from Dover to the Northern District com menced yesterday (Friday). The men appeared, on pass ing our office, in good order, and fresh fir any service, notwithstanding they had travelled 100 miles, thanks to the efficient and judicious arrangements of the authori ties of the South-Eastern Railway. OFFENSIVE EXPOSIIXE.—A practice exists in a regi• went not one hundrei miles from Portsmouth, and, for aught we know, in several others in different garrisons, which we think it would be very advisable to abolish. We allude to the custom of causing the men to appear once a week before the surgeon of the regiment, and to submit to an examination as offensive to their own sense of decency as to the medical officer who is compelled to the inspection. It is quite against the spirit of the age that such usages should be permitted to continue. There is little use in the practical efforts to introduce a healthy moral tone into the army, by separating the singe from the married men, if the self-respect of the troops is otherwise offended. For all purposes of health, it would be easy to trust to the volunteer applications of the men fur medical assistance, or to an examination of features, pulse, and tongue. An experienced surgeon can tell at a glance if a soldier is in good health, or otherwise, in spite of attempts at simulation; and the men themselves are so thoroughly aware of this, that endeavours to " do " the doctor are rarely resorted to with any prospect of success. We cannot enter more fully into -the particulars of the practice we reprobate. Our remarks will, we hope, be sufficiently understood to iaduce the commanding officers who still countenance the disgusting usage to order its abolition forthwith. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

PO LICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Thomas Lane, an Irishman, was charged with stab. bing another Irishman, named APearthy, with a clasp kaite. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner and a number of his countrymen went into the Nag's Head public-house, in Compton-street, to have some porter. A quarrel ensued, which ended in a fight. A witness, named Kingston, saw the prisoner take two quart pots from the table, fill them with boiling water from the copper in the tap-room, and throw the scalding contents over the persons present. He then drew from his pocket a clasp-knife and stabbed Kingston. After wards he stabbed another ma❑ named M'Carthy in the face and body. M•Carthy was taken to the Middlesex Hospital, where he was at present lying. The other man's wounds were of a slighter nature. Police-constable Redman said the wounds of M'Carthy were three in number, and of a serious character. The prisoner said he knew nothing about the aa. He was remanded until Friday. William Ahorn, an Irish labourer, was charged with having kicked out the eye of James Fleming. The complainant said;that ►he prisoner, who had been drinking, began to be very quarrelsome in Cambridge court, arid offered to fight with anybody and everybody. Complainant got him into the house where he lodged, wet the prisoner walked up te?o or three stairs, anti then, turning suddenly round, aimed a dreadful kick at his face, which split. his uoJet and drove the eye completely from the socket. Complainant screamed with agony, and the defendant was then secured. Complainant was taken to Middlesex Hospital with his eye hanging on his cheek. His wounds were dressed, and he was informed he would most idiely never recover the sight of that eye. The prisrAier said he was drunk, otherwise ho should riot have injured the man wbo was doing good to him. Remanded till Friday.

It appears that the directors of this company have de termined not to give way in any respect to the engine drivers and firemen on the line. The recent agitation with regard to the apprehended " strike" will be sup pressed as speedily as possible, by giving notice to those men who are not disposed to conform to the regulations of the company to quit their service. It is stated on good authority that the directors have had more than ample assistance offered them from the locomotive depart ments of several railway companies to carry on the traffic in ease the threatened strike should be carried into effect. It is also stated that a large number of engine -drivers are at present out of employment, and would be glad of an engagement. The respectable en gine-drivers on the London and North-Western Railway are anxious to retain their situations, and there is a general opinion among them that it is better for those who are not disposed to abide by the regulations of the company that they should leave the service quietly and seek employment elsewhere before their characters are damaged by unruly conduct, and leave those in the ser vice who wish to remain undisturbed. It is very clear from the proceedings at the late meetings of the drivers that the men on the southern division are by no means disposed to make common cause with the men in the northern division against a regulation which is expected to work advantageously for all parties. With regard to the alleged intended amalgamation of the northern and southern divisions, there appears to be no foundation for it, because it is stated that the southern division is already too large for one manage went, and therefore there is no intention of amalgama ting it with the northern division.

The business prising in wheat is very limited, and all a xcept the best qualities are sold on easier terms. Barley is not offered so freely, and for fine heavy qualities better prices are obtained, and other descriptions meet rather more attention. Oats and shelling meet a very dull sale, and lower.

What old was in offer, together with the best-selected new, fully realised late rates, but other de scriptions are quite a drug; and although lower rates would have been taken, yet few sales were effected. Barley, in large supply, with but little of malting quality, which commands full rates; but other sorts are offering at a reduction of is per quarter, without lead ing to any clearance. Beans and peas, short supply, but unaltered in value. Oats, short supply, and command late rates. LIVERPOOL, DEC. 27.—At this morning's market there was a thin attendance of the trade, and the de mand for wheat and flour was quite in retail at Tues day's prices. Oats and oatmeal met a slow sale at late rates. Indian corn neglected, and fine yellow was offered at 31a per 4801bs without leading to much business. EXETER, DEC. 27.—Cattle-market—The supply to day has been moderate, but with no very brisk demand. The best fat beef sold freely at 8s per score, in some in stances 8s 6d was asked, and we believe in one instance that sum was made. Beef of more ordinary quality sold at 7s to 7s 6d per score. Cows and calves sold at rather better prices than of late, from 7115 s to 13110 s being made. Barrenera about 5s per score. The supply of sheep was also moderate, large fat wethers did not yield more than 4id per lb. Small nice wethers sold tolerably free at 5d per lb. Ewes 4d to 4id per lb.

Corn Exchange—But little business has been done to-day, and at a decline in prioe. The best English wheat did not exceed Si, and prices must be quoted 41 6d to 5s per bushel. In foreign scarcely anything doing, red French was offered at 40s per qr. (6010. to the bushel); and hard Kubanka wheat, 34s per qr.; malting barley 3s to 3s 3d per bushel; oats, Is 10d ditto to 2i; fine flour, 27s to 29s per sack of 280Ibs.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES. FOREIGN WOOL.—LEEDS, DEC. 27.—We have no change to report in this market since last week. The demand continues good for this season of the year, and prices firm. ENGLISH WOOL.—LEEDS, DEC. 27.—There has not been any change in this market this week. The de mand is active, and prices are firm, with an upward ten dency. TRADE OP LEEDS.—Business has been brisker at our Cloth Halls both on Saturday and Tuesday than has bee❑ the case for a long time past, stimulated in some measure by the expectation that from the advance in the price of wool and the probable advance in dyeing, goods will be higher. The stocks in the manufacturers' hands are very light, and good employment is generally ex pected through the di-trict during the winter. A pretty extensive business has been done in the warehouses since this day week, and the shipping houses are more active than usual at this period of the year. HUDDERSFIELD, DEC, 24.—Considering that the year is so near its close, the market to-day has been a very good one—more than an average at this season of the year. The demand was principally for low wo o ll ens, and for fancies of low quality. BRADFORD, DEC. 26.—Wools—There is not so much doing in wools as we reported last week, and for two reasons—one that there is not the same supply and choice of good wool, and another - that higher prices are sought for what is remaining. The supply coming to the market is not great, and the staplers complain both of thd high prices which dealers are asking, and of the growers holding for higher prices than they are justified in giving. Nods and broker are in good request, at firm pri ce s. Yarns—The business doing to-day is not very extensive. Yesterday being Christmas day, there is not au ay< rage number r f spinners at rnatlert, and the tone ex,hibited an indfff , relic- about taking meets for January delivery at prices now current, say 10f per gross, for common Lumbers 30s to 365. Pieces—There is but very little to-day, by either merchants or manufacturers, both being engaged in taking stock. Nothing is done exalt for next year's account, at firm prices. TRADE of MANCHESTER, DEC. 26.—The market 00 Tuesday, though not so exei.ed as those of last weeks was very active, and the closing rates of last week were fully sustained. Today we have not had so ful l an at' teadsnce on the Exchange; the day after Christmas -day is here perhaps generally too mud; devoted to the plea sures incident to such a festive period of the year for it to be exoected, but still there has been a respectable m Ala t business transacted, and neither manufacturer' nor spinns ra appear to have been over anxious to pal with goods. The consequence is that prices have WO steadily and firmly maintained, both in cloth and yarns, and these stocks have been much diminished, as in the case of goods for India and China, and for some descrir tions required by the home trade, there is an upward tendency in prices. It is said that some o f the Wilt letters have hardly borne cut the anticipations inducsd by the satisfactory sketch of 'the markets brought b y electric dispatch for the newspapers, and that copse' quently the action on the market was premature; bat. be that as it may, there appears to be a well-sustained trade, and manufacturers in some cases have bon placed under contract to the end of March, and is many instances both spinners and manufac turers are . engaged to the end of January. Reviewing th e rise o f prices, and comparing prestnt rates with those of last month, the result is nearly as fellows:—D o mestics on e .' sixteenth to one- iehth per yard higher ; 'r cloths and long-cloths, lid per piece. Its seven-eighths prini!rig cloths there is an advance of 3d on the better quali t i e ' l ' and of lid per piece on the lower. In 36-inch printer! and shirtin gs th e a d vance i s lid to 3d. In 40.4101 shirtings, 64 ree d s an d uwards, 'th e re is an adva nce ph o s t 3d to 4id per pie c e, a nd of lid to 3d per piece " t lower seeded shirtings o f thi s width. There has been rather more business in India qualities of Bolton jacco nets, and the quotations are about lid per piece (Wt . ,' 10 In yarns the chief advance is in India mule twi st, and . cop yarns, such as are in request rather extensively DI home manufacturers. In 20's mule, for instance. "` of ordinary and better kinds, the advance is id per lb upon Tuesday week. The same remark 'sr plies to 30's and 50's (the better qualities of tbe ilattro in some instances be,ng nearly aid higher). end 6 ad the advance is id per lb, and in 80's and 90's aboll Water twist is also rather in advance of last prices. NOTTINGHAM TRADE.—Lace: The week now dolt generally is generally a very quiet ore, yet there is a glinips e l e i r better state of things, as the Germans, contrary to t" usual practice, have been buying fancy goods, which hum' _ o ro t a good sign; they are very low in stock, and theref must shortly purchase to some extent. The houses, also, may be expected soon to commence P. tions.

WANDS WORTH. After the disposal of the ordinary night charges, Edward Amos, a man about twenty-eight years of age, was brought from the House of Detention, Clerken 7 well, and placed in the dock before Mr. Beadon, on a remanded charge from the Marylebone Police court, on his own confession of setting fire to certain warehouses and workshops belonging to Captain Thomas Ross, and situate in the vicinity of Clapham-common, on the evening of Friday, the 20th inst. The first witness examined was Richard Young, a police-constable of the D division, to whom the prisoner surrendered himself, and who recapitulated the testimony which he gave at the Marylebone Police-court. Captain Thomas Ross sworn—The damage done was considerably more than 1,0001.; the buildings destroyed, although temporary, being very extensive, covered with slate roofing, and containing large quantities of ma hogany, cedar, and other expensive woods, besides a vast number of flooring-boards, and every description of ma terial required for fifteen or sixteen first rate houses. There was also a pile of deals near the buildings des troyed. The prisoner was at work on the premises for some weeks, under my contractor, Mr. John Wood. He was not discharged; he left of his own accord. Some weeks since he came to me and said, " I'm about being seat off those premises, and I don't see why I should bo put out of work. You are getting some holdings' made, and will you give me so much a hundred to make them?" I said, " My good fellow, I don't see why you should be driven away, you shall do them at the price." He went away, and I did not see him again. I said to the priso ner, when I saw him at the station, " You could have had no motive to injure me." The prisoner made no reply, but as I was coming away he said, " Now, sir, I've done this act, and I am ready to give you all the satis faction in my power." The prisour then accounted to Captain Ross for the way in which he had disposed of his time during the evening in question. He said that he found the workshop door open. He made some other remarks, one of which was that he supposed he should not get more than seven years. He also said he had remained in the building until he was very cold. He did not know what came over him, but he ultimately conclAed he would do it, and did do it. By Mr. BEADON—He did not in any of his conversa tion show any hostile feeling to me. Witness ascer tained that all the facts the prisoner had mentioned were true. The prisoner had no questions to ask the prosecutor. John Wood said he was contractor for part of the work. The prisoner worked for him up to three weeks since. He was not discharged, but he told him he would be if he did not marry his sister. They had never quarrelled, but he had spoken strongly to him abuut his sister. Capta;n Ross here said he had omitted a part of the prisoner's statement to him. He was very angry towards the Woods. He said he would have his revenge, and wished they'd been there to be burnt. Mr. 13EADON said this was the most important evidence yet given. Caroline Weod was next examined—She had known the prisoner some time, and had had a child by him, which was three years old. He had promised to marry her. He had said he would have his revenge on her brother on the Wednesday previous to the fire. Alfred Wood proved that he saw the prisoner write, and the threatening letter produced as sent to Mr. Chris topher Ross, was in his handwriting. The letter was produced by Inspector Coleman, but the contents have already been made public. The prisoner was then formally committed, but will be brought up on Monday for the depositions to be completed. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Vice-Admiral Sir George Francis Seymour, C. 8., G.C.H., has nominated his son, Captain G. H. Seymour, as his flag captain. The Admiral was desirous of baying for bis secretary Mr. Kent, the officer who served with him in that capacity in the Pacific, but that gentleman's bad state of health has prevented him from accepting the nomination. Commander Owen Phibbs Knott, whose nomination to the Coast-guard service we have given this week, has been appointed inspecting commander of the Queens town district, vice Commander W. O'Brien Hoard who has resigned. Commander George Johnson has been appointed in specting commander of the Wells Coast-guard district, vice Commander Henry Home Bingham, whose period of service has expired. A lieutenant's out-pension of Greenwich Hospital is vacant by the decease of Samuel Spencer (1806), on the 19th instant, at Birkenhead, aged 71. This gallant and much respected officer served no less than 43 years on full pay. He entered the navy in 1796, was wounded when midshipman of the Maidstone, 32, in pursuit of a French privateer; was in the Victory at the battle of Trava;gar, He was m Ade lieutenant into the Prince of Wales, 98, October, 1806. As a lieutenant he served in the Achille, 74, cruising off Ferrold. Then he had an appointment in the impress service, and afterwards joined the Ronaldo, 10. From 1823 to 1837 he was em ployed in the transport service, and from 1839 was sp.. pointed Admiralty contract mail steam-packet agent. He was stated to have served in the battle of Algiers. Lieutenant F. Drew (1836) of the coast-guard service, died on the 18th inst., at Brighton. He entered the navy in 1812, and was forty-seven years of age.

APPOINTMENTS WOOLWICH, DEC. 27.—Surgeon—Samuel Donnelly (1842), to the Samson steam-frigate, at Devonport. Assistant-Surgeons—James Campbell (A) (1845), to the Imam, 72, receiving ship at Jamaica; Julian W. Slight (1846), formerly serving in the Teaz.-~r steam vessel, to the Amphitrite, 24, at Portsmouth; Donald G. Pendrith (1850), (acting), to the Samson; and Robert Creighton (1850), (acting), to the Victory flag ship at Portsmouth. It may be here mentioned, fer the satisfaction of the West Indian interest and those who have friends in that quarter of the world, that the above appointments Of Assistant-Surgeon James Campbell to the Imaum, and several:Surgeons and Assistant-Surgeons we have re c.ntly announced as being appointed to be borne on the books of that vessel, hair.) been made for the purpose of their serving at Jamaica during the prevalence of the cholera there. We deem it but justice to the Admiralty, who have responded to the appeal to them fir aid, to m.ke this explanation, as thousands have no idea that the appointments ti the Imaura are fur the purpose we have stated. The Princeqs Alice, Dover mail steam-packet, came up 'he river yesterday ifiernoon to Woolwich, and will b, ready to leave tomorrow to resume her duties on the Dover station. The Volcano steam-sloop, Commander Rivers, was obliged to come to moorings in Galleons-reach yester day afternoon, shortly after she left the dockyard, owing to the dense fog which came on at the time.

PRESIDENT FILMORE AND THE GREAT EXHIBITION. —lt was expected that the President of the United States would be amongst the personages to reach London in 1851, but the following letter, addressed to Mr. Steil, of Manches ter, dissipates the expectation of that pleasure :—" Washing ton City, D. C., United States, Dec. 1, 1850. William S. Steil, V,sq., Manchester. My dear Sir,— I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your kind letter of the Bth ult., through Mr. Randall, expressing the hope that I may visit the World's Fair in London in May next, and assuring me that if I do so I shall receive a cordial welcome from my countrymen in England, and tendering me the hospitalities of your own house whilst I remained at Manchester. Pre vious to the death of my lamented predecessor I had antici pated the pleasure of visiting London at the time of the fair, but I deem it now impossible to leave my official duties here; and your kind letter causes a still deeper regret at my dis appointment. Were it possible for me to be absent for such a length of time, nothing could be more gratifying than to accept your proffered hospitalities. I well recollect meeting you and your lady in the fall of 1837, and should he ex tremely happy to renew the acquaintance. Independent of that, I have always felt a strong desire to visit Great Bri tain. Its soil is classic ground to me, and I should be most happy to be able to make a personal comparison between the leading men of that country and my own, and to see how far we have improved upon the political institutions of the mother country. But this must be deferred till a more con venient season. Accept my thanks for your kindness ; re member me most cordially to your lady, and believe me truly Yount MILLAAD Fizawai."
