THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The last woek bids fair to prove the most remarkable ( in the history of the Great Ex.hibition, for never was it I so besieged with wonder •seQking multitudes as it was on Monday and yesterday. It would almost seem as if half the world had put off its visit to the latest possible mo ment, and as the time approaches when it was supposed the people would have had enough of the Crystal Palace, it becomes more popular than ever. Even at the very moment we write thousands are hurrying across from the Continent to catch a glimpse o f its content ! , while the wzious railways conveying to the metropolis daily pour in upon the streets countless crowds of proevincial - ists. The leading West - en d thorougnfo.res ar there fore just as much thronged now with overloaded vehicles .and pedestrians as they were in the middle of summer, W hen it was erroneously in:lag-mod that the Exhibition had attained the nnith of its glory. Yesterday the interior of She building presented another of those asto nishino scenes which, during the last four or five' months, have created such a mighty interest no t only in Eu ro p e, but in every part of the civilised globe, no less than 109,039 persons having visited the to charity four . o'clock in the afternoon. Several hibl.tion up charity schools are . included in the number; but it is large without counting them, and judging from the pre sent aspect? of affairs, the number bids fair to go on in creasing until the final closing of the doors to the gene ral public. The scene along the line of route from the Park to Ct:aring-cross at the daily closing of the Exhibition is beyond all description. Both roads and footpaths are as much crowded as the Poultry at mid-day. The theatres also appear to reap the advantage of the holiday visitors to the Exhibition. The doors of the Princess's, the Haymarket, the Adelphi, and the Lyceum are almost as much thronged at the opening time as the Crystal Palace itself. The following is the official report of the receipts yesterday £5,231 10s . yesterday Pollee numbers ... ... 109,915. GERMANY. The French Journal of Frankfort publishes the following note on the candidateship of Prince de Join - vile ; it is considered in Germany as a sort of semi official declaration of the great powers : " It is more than probable that Prince de Joinville will present himself as a candidate for the Presidency of .the Republic. We do not yet know the programme of Cite bat we deplore a project which can only serve to divide the party of order still more, and which will give a fatal blow to the monarchi ca l p r i nc i p l e. All the accounts from Paris agree in representing as doubt ful, and under a sombre aspect, the conflict which is shoat to take place. Europe will consequently be forced to be on her guard, in order not to be taken unprepared. We have no right to mix ourselves up in the intrrier affairs of France, but we should act inconsiderately if wn did not take energetic measures to prevent these affairs from sooner or later compromising European affuirs. It is in this point of view that the Northern Powers keep themselves. They feel that the precarious situation of France will yet be o long duration, inas much as the ambitions of persons, and the passions of the masses, rival each other in leaving the field open to all possible chanc es . F rance will yet remain whole years in this revolutionary crisis, which neither Napo leon nor Louis Philiope could set a side—neither could the Bourbons, because they did not succeed in finding a legal form for re-establishing the monarchical principle on solid bases. Accordingly the policy of the powers at this moment makes abstraction of persons and poli tical principl es , an d keeps only to the social principle of order, which almost all parties in France have lost sight of. Trey perfectly understand that the preca rious situation of that country cannot be replaced from one day to another by stable institutions, cor responding to the monarchical tendencies of the rest of 'E uro p e , ; but they understand also that anarchy is about to spring from the very sources which have hitherto been considered as tnosa o f or d er . Th ey un derstand that, if the Prince de Joinville be elected President, the monarchy will be lowered to the Re public. They understand still better that the Prince has not any great chance of being elected ; and. in that case, would be an increased humiliation' for the monarchy. We repeat that, for the moment, the powers leave this question aside; but they will take measures to prevent the monarc hi es of Europa from being injured by the experiments which the younger branch of the Bourbons is about to attempt in Fr,Ance." The Prussian Gazette says that the reply of Lord Palmerston to the notes of the Continental Powers on the refugees in London is not of a nature to satisfy , them, and that others, supported by collective mea sures, will, in all probability, shortly be presented. The police of Berlin arrested on the 3d the di recting committee of a secret democratic association. Its object, according to the confession of one of its members, was to supply arms and ammunition to the democrats in the event of a revolutionary rising. Lists of members, books, and accounts, together with a quantity of arms and ammunition, were seized. A number of domiciliary visits were made. The Assembly of the States of Wurtemberg are to meet on the 15th at Stuttgardt. The New Gazette of Prussia states that the Go vernment of S#xony hAi refused to give its assent to the customs treaty between Prussia and Hanover, concluded on the 7h ult., because it was not con sulted respecting it; arid it adds, that the S axon Cabinet has invited the other Governments of Ger many net to give their consent wiA]out having come to an understanding between themselves, and made an attentive examination of the propositions sub mitted to them. The Correspondence of Hamburgh and the Cologne Gazette state that the Cabinet of Mecklenburg has, by a vote of the 26th ult., positively refused to ent er i n t o nego ti at i ons on the subject of its accession to the Z Alverein. THE GERMANIC CONFEDERATION. The following is the protest of the French Govern. meat against the adcnisBion of the non-German States of Austria into the German Bund. It is addressed to the President of the Frankfort Diet, Count von Thun .i M. le Comte,—As I informed your Excellency in my note of the 19th of July, I laid before my Govern ment the communication with which you honoured me on the 17th, relating to the project of the incorporation of the non-German States of Austria in the German Band. lam directed to answer that note by the follow ing communication. The Government of the Republic has remarked, to its great surprise, that arguments are advanced in the name of the Band which were employed seventeen years ago to dispute the right of the Powers who had signed the final act of Vienna to interfere on the question which, according to their judg ment, affected the independence , of a German state, in which that independence was violated, though it was stipulated by the said act of Vienna,. Thee arguments were at that time rejected by the Cabinets of Paris and Lonelon, and that rejection never received any reply. Farther, when in 1847 Austria and Prussia so energeti cally pretested against the acts by which the Swiss Federal Council according to their judgment, violated the rights of some of the C.IntIUS, it was necessarily a s . sumed that those two Powers hat seen the incorrectness of the principle they ', 4 aa . some years previously only too absJlutely proclaimed. the more j This aysucapti on was so much ustifi ed , us the Swiss Federal compact i not, s like the Ger man B und, an integral pint of the finalact of Vienne, and t h erefore the right 04 foreign Govern ments to inie:fer e with tie e differences of the several can tons must be iegardA as much leGa certainly established than the right France and England would assert in refe rence to the German Bund. But even were the arguments oa which the German Diet relied in 1834 as much based on legal right, a:, in reality they are not, it is still evident that they do not in the least apply to the present question. If it must be conceded that a confederation of sovereign States, in all that reprds the relations of its several mem bers to each other, is invested with th e same i n d ependent power of act i on as a single or federative State, yet it by no means followsfrona this that such a confederation can of itself . alter_ its relations to foreign powers without those fo reign fslovernmentshaving the wile'. to protest against it. By the first treaty of Paris and the final act of Vienna, has recognized the existence of Europe German Bund within certain distinetly fixed territorital°l* cognition it follows that each of tenais. From this re with the assent of the European Powett; the protection of the whole Bund, whiosi,istitarids under riz Ai to interfere in the differences and dis alsot autho members when they reach a certain dP gree p o u f e i s rn o p f its anee. It cannot be supposed that the European Pow"ett:: can look on with indiffereneo while a similar condition of things is extended over a new territory, and it such an extension were made without their assent, they would certainly be exercising their right if they did not dgio et the intervention of the Bund in their disputea with the possessors of such territory. The chances of a conflict would then be more than doubled; the political organi za ti on o f a consider able part of Europe would then r es t no more on A l law, a as generally race raised basic; and international e st)blished by existing treaties, is have recei ve d a Perlan•Ps inc ura bl e woun d. It s quite superfluous to rot. r more at large into it discussion of a project which, if laid before the Diet, will Piece the Government under the necesAty of proti,stioagainst it.

A few days ago the Milan Gazette published a sonnet conceived in a spirit of insult towards Pied mont and the Italian Liberals of 1848. It also con tained an allusion to the " impotent and feeble sword" upon which the " sons of Italy," had founded their hopes. To this sonnet the Piedmontese Gazette of the Ist makes the following answer:—" We will say but a few words about a sonnet lately published by the official Gazette of Milan. We are con vinced that such a publication is contrary to the intentions as well as the feelings of the men who are at the head of public affAirs in Austria, and that it has escaped their censorship, a circum stance which in our eyes does not entirely screen them from blame. However that may be, we beg to ob serve that such means are b u t a b a d defence for any cause. We can understand why the Austrian Go vernment opposed the national enthusiasm in Italy ; but that enthusiasm, though unfortunate, was not devoid of honour. Soldiers and citizens, all took a part in it. The former only obeyed their chiefs, and fought bravely ; the others only followed the dictates of their hearts, and faced death, in the name of a principle which the conscience of man has ever re spected, and which will remain sacred as long as the light of civilization shall last. For that cause a king abandoned his country and died. That king, those soldiers, those citizens might be opposed, might be slain in b a ttl e , b u t no one has the right to insult them."

Edward Mackay, a revenue officer, was brought before Sir Robert Carden, upon a charge of having robbed the captain of a vessel to which he was sent to perform his duty as a functionary of the Customs. Alexander Mercanti, the mate of the brig Anna, lying off Fresh Wharf, said :—We arrived in the Thames a few days ago, and the defendant came on board by direction of the Custom-house authorities to look after the merchandise. Yesterday the captain was on shore, and he sent the boatswain on board to get some money. The money was gone, as I soon learned from the boatswain, who upon missing it sent for me. The prisoner was there when the boatswain came aboard, sitting in the same cabin in which the chest where the money was deposited was kept. Michael Puglia. son of Captain Puglia, of the brig Anna, said—l had the care of the chest in which the money was kept. On Sunday night I saw the money safe in the chest. The chest was not locked. The money was in a bag. It consisted of twelve Spanish dollars, three gold pieces, and twenty-five pieces of Austrian money. I did not speak to the prisoner about what had taken place. I missed the money when the boatswain came from my father. The boatswain said he had a suspicion of the prisoner, and he twigged his pocket like, and told me, and I seized the end of the bag as I saw it hanging out of the prisoner's pocket. The prisoner then jumped on one side, and the bag came out of his pocket. I asked him what business he had with the bag, and he begun to talk in a confused manner altogether. I then sent for an officer, and gave him into custody. The bag contained ten pieces of Austrian money, one Greek piece, and three Spanish dollars. Fenning (City police)—The prisoner was given into my custody yesterday afternoon, on board the Anna, upon the charge of having stolen a bag of money out of the captain's box, and one of the men said he had found some money in a bag in the pri soner's pocket. I took him to the station-house, and found in his pocket his commission as a revenue officer. The prisoner said he had picked tap the bag on the deck. I went on board again and searched the prisoner's bedding and bed-place, and on a shelf over the head of his bed I found two gold coins and one dollar. Another officer found more money under the prisoner's bed. The prisoner said—Yesterday before four o'clock, at the settlement of the business of the day, I went into the cabin to change my stockings, and at the bottom of the ladder I saw the bag lying on the cabin floor. I brought it on the deck and was just going to inquire to whom it belonged, when one of the seamen or the boatswain made a snatch at it, took it from me and handed it to the mate, who immediately charged me with abstracting it from the captain's chest, which I certainly did not do. Sir R. W. CARDEN —I consider the case to be one of very grave importance, taking into consideration the responsible situation which the prisoner holds, and the trust which is necessarily reposed in him. I therefore request the prisoner's superior officer will at once communicate with the Board of Customs on the subject, as some difficulty may arise from the obliga tion of the vessel to sail before the ensuing session of the Central Criminal Court, and shall remand the prisoner in order to receive the report. GUILDHALL. Edward Low, treasurer of the Eclipse Mutual Be ilea Association, held at the Green Dragon, in Fleet street, was summoned before Alderman Moon and Alderman Wire for unlawfully refusing to pay to William Peart, a member of the society, twelve shillings per week, according to the rules, the said William Peart having duly declared himself upon the sick fund. Mr. M'Pane appeared for the complainant ; and Mr. Wakeling, sen,, attended on behalf of the society. Henry Dunbar Peart said that he was the son of the complainant, whom he had left about two hours previous in bed, and incapable of attending. That complainant had paid his monthly payments regularly until the last payment, which the society refused to take because witness was a few minutes too late with it. In August last witness tendered the surgeon's certificate of his father's illness to the secretary and claimed for him the benefits of the society. The se cretary, however, gave him to understand that the claim would not be allowed. Alderman MOON asked Mr. Wakeling if his answer ' to this would be to contend that such institutions should be allowed to exist, to take the money from the poor man, and rob him with impunity ? Mr. Wakeling said he would show that the rob bery was quite on the other side, for complainant was the founder of the society, and, being a printer, he had all the printing for it, and for which he sent in a bill for 511. and upwards when the societylitself did not consist of more than fifty members ; and after get ting his money, he magnanimously presented the so• ciety with a donation of 101, a part of his overcharge and then declared upon the sick fund. Alderman MOON then inquired if the society was enrolled according to the Act of Parliament, which gave him jurisdiction in these cases, and receiving als answer in the affirmative, he requested Mr. Wakeling to put in the certificate of enrolment. Mr. Wakeling said it rested with complainant to prove the enrolment by producing the certificate. Evidence was then given of the existence of the enrolment certificate, but it was not produced. Wakeling still contended that it had not been proved that the society was a benefit society, and until that was done the case could not be proceeded with. Alderman Moon said it was proved to his satis faction, but that he would take the advice of his brother alderman upon the subject before coming to any decision. Alderman WIRE said he understood Mr. Wakeling objected that the enrolment and rules of the society had not been proved ; he would, therefore, hear what the witness had further to say upon that point. Henry he had examined the copy of the rules already lrel )ar d e yp t drsoadjuoed, with those in Mr. Tidd Pratt's office, and certified by him, and found them to be exactly the same. The bill complained of by Mr. Wakeling was then handed up, in which an item appeared under the name of " registration fee," which complainant had paid at the time the rules were certified by Mr. Tidd Pratt. Alderman WIRE said that where a benefit society objected to meet certain claims upon merely technical grounds, he thought it perfectly disgraceful. How ever, if Mr. Wakeling would produce a copy of his own rules, he would then be able to compare them with those in evidence. After some hesitation, Mr. Wakeling produced a copy, which both parties admitted. Mr. Wakeling then objected-Ist, that the com plainant ought to ho present to give him the opportu nity of cross-examination ; 2d, that the wrong party had been summoned ; 31, that complainant was not properly a member ; and, lastly, that no demand had been made to any of the officers of the society for the allowance now claimed. of the Alderman WIRE said that a reasonable ground for complain an t' s a b s enc e h a d b een given, which dispos e d first objection, and he considered that the cards and oth er ev i dence produced s h owe d th a t the society were bef ore th e C ourt, an d th a t complainant was a member ac k now l e d ge d b y t h e soc i e ty. W i th r egar d to the l ast o bj ect i on, it was not necessary th a t any formal d emand should be made. M r. Wakeling then said seventy year s o ld. memberthat theabrules the d age o idnot f sanction th e admission of a forty-fi ve years, awl complainant waa upwards of Alderma n W IRE sa id comp l a i nan t was ev id en tl y a member, and entitled by a card produced to 12s. per their own wrong. However, if the society had acted week in afflicti on. Such an o bj ec ti on on l y s h owe d that the society, after admitting complainant infor mally, we re now desirous of taking advantage of foolishly, it was n o reason t h at h e s h ou ld s i t on t h e bench to do in j ustice. It was very clear that com plainant. was a mem b er, and entitled to all the bene fits according to the rules. If the society could show that the documents bef o r e him were forgeri es , a n d th a t complainant had never been acknowledged a member, then Mr. Wakeling might tender evidence to that effect. Or if they could impeach the witness's state ment with regard to complainant's health, then they might indict him for perjury ; and any order the ma gistrates might make would be rendered unavailable. At present he would only make the order for payment of the money and costs ; but at the same time he must again state, that the society had taken an erro neous view in resisting a just claim. The order was then made. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. _ .lames George Spencer was brought before Mr. Hardwi c k, c h arge d w i t h h av i ng embezzled various sums of money from his employer, Mr. Burton, fur nishing ironmonger, No. 39, Oxford-street. It was rather a remar k a b le feature in the case that the prisoner wag the principal witness in another case of embezzlement brought against another servant in the employ of Mr. Burton. Mr. Wontner attended for th© prosecution i Mr. nobler for the defence . William Crowther, van-driver to Mr. Burton, said on the 22d of August he received the following amounts :—Of Mr. Durrant, 11.; Mr. Burrell, 21. Bs.; and Mr. Dawson, 1/, 85. He paid the amounts over to the prisoner, whoiwas till-cashier, on the same day. Jabez Brookman, another van-driver, said on the 2d of Septeniber he received from Captain Walker 121. 123. 61., which he paid over to the prisoner. Alfred Noel, principal cashier to Mr. Burton, said it was the prisoner's duty to account to him every day for the moneys he received, and it was his duty to make an entry of all the sums he received during the day; he had not accounted to him for the sums received from the van-drivers. The prisoner's initials were against the amounts paid over to him by the van-drivers and not accounted for. Mr. lIARDvricK put some questions to the wit nesses, in consequence of the apparent intricacy of the system of keeping accounts, and, at the close of the examination, suggested that it might be advisable to adopt a more simple mode of accounts. The suggestion was promised attention. The prisoner reserved his defence, and was fully committed. SOUTH WARK. George Freenw a, a bargeman, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett charged with throwing John Gingle, another bargeman, into the river, with intent to in jure him. Complainant stated that on Saturday evening his barge was moored inside St. Saviour's Dock. The defendant had charge of another barge outside, which was lying across, so that no other barge could get out. Wishing to save tide and proceed down the river, he asked the prisoner to let go his hawser, to enable him to pass out. This he refused to do, and witness said if he did not he would do it himself. The pri soner still refusing to unfasten the rope and make way for his barge, he went towards the head to remove it, when prisoner came up to him, and using dreadful language, actnally pushed him overboard. The depth of water in the dock when he was immersed was six feet, and had not he been able to swim, he must have been drowned, as it was some time before he was got out. He was then nearly insensible. In answer to the charge the prisoner said that he did not wilfully push him overboard. Complainant was about to cut his barge adrift, and on his going to prevent him his arm accidentally touched his, and he fell overboard. He (prisoner) jumped i n t o th e water, and assisted in getting him out. The watchman of the dock denied the prisoner's statement. He never got into the water at all, but used ill language towards complainant. The prisoner having declared that he could bring witnesses to prove his assertions, was remanded for a week. The prisoners were accordingly remanded for that purpose. DESTRUCTIVE WHIRLWIND IN LIMERICK. A letter from Limerick, written on Sunday night, and published in Saunders of yesterday morning, con tains the following particulars of an unusually violent whirlwind which raged in that city on Sunday even ing At half-past five o'clock this morning this city was visited by one of the most awful and destruc tive whirlwinds ever experienced in this part of Ire land, or, I believe, ever known to have occurred within these realms. The suddenness of the gale, with its destructive consequences, are almost incre dible, but the following are the exact par ticulars :—The greater portion of the day was fine, with occasional showers of rain, and now and then bright sunshine. However, at the hour above stated. the horizon assumed a bright yellowish aspect towards the north, and a whirlwind set in from the north-west, the effect being first experienced at the North Strand, at the residence of Mr. William Gleeson, ship agent. The noise in the air, as the whirlwind approached, re sembled the roar of steamers discharging waste steam from their funnels on reaching the quays. In a moment the trees in front of Mr. Gleeson's house were uptorn and born aloft in the air to a great height, the leaves and huge branches dangling so for a few seconds, when the dense body de scended, tumbled the chimney glasses, demolished the window frames, and in a shorter space than I write the word, rushed along the Wellesley-bridge, prostrating those who were walking thereon, some of whom only escaped being carried over the swivel by firmly holding on by the iron paling ; but they were injured by the trees which passed over them. The terrific blast struck the office of the same gentleman, situate at the south end of Wellesley-bridge, at the city side of the river, and so powerful was the gust that the entire shop front, shutters, sash, window glass, &c., were shivered to pieces, and displaced two feet from the wall. An apple-woman who was sitting in the locality was slightly injured, and the adjoining shop windows instantaneously de molished. The stores in Brunswick -street and on Honan's-quay were stripped of their heavy slat ing, and the flues of the kilns hurled away in the current. At Arthur's Quay sails were carried off from the turf-boats in the river and fell upon housetops in Denmark-street. Two windows in Cruise's Hotel, George's-street, were blown in with a tremendous crash, some of the gentlemen stopping there being cut by the glass. The shock was felt by the inhabitants of other dwellings in the vicinity, and caused utter consternation. The uncontrollable ele ment was discernible throughout its devastating pro gress, resembling a heavy body of dust blown up from the earth, and took a circuitous route, passing down Denmark-street, through Mungret street, and so on, to Thomond-gate, doing consider able damage to house property—unroofing many dwellings, stores, warehouses, &c. The corn-market in Mungret-street was considerably damaged, while window shutters, frames, and door posts, were blown about like so much tissue paper. Many persons were lifted from terra firma and spun round like whipping tops. Two men, I am sorry to add, were so badly hurt that they had to be conveyed to Barrington's Hospital, where they lie in a precarious state. It is rather remarkable that this extraordinary phenomenon confined its ravages to the localities I have enume rated, unknown until passed away to the inhabitants of the other portions of the city. Darkness having set in soon after, I am unable to furnish more in detail. As I write crowds are congregated in every quarter talking over this unprecedented occurrence, which will be long remembered by those who wit nessed it. It is rather remarkable that in Mr. Glee son's timber yard, in Ellen-street, huge beams were blown about." THAMES. Wilhelm Balser, a German, employed i❑ a sugar house in Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Yard ley, charged with assaulting and beating Catherine Diebel, aged 16 years. This case was presented to the magistrate through the interference of the Rev. Dr. Cappel, minister of St. George's German Church, in Little Alie-street, who said the girl had been most barbarously treated by her taskmaster, who had brought her to this country under false pretences, and that instead of paying her wages, as he had promised her parents before leaving Germany, he had never given her a farthing, and did not supply her with a proper quan tity of food or clothing. The rev. gentleman also stated that many others traded in German girls, and after inducing them to leave their Fatherland, sent them on the streets, either to sell brooms and solicit alms, or for the purposes of prostitution, and if they did not bring home a certain amount of money every night, they were beaten by their masters and sent to bed without any food. Mr. YARDLEY made some very strong observations on the nefarious traffic, and said the interference of the Legislature was required to put a stop to it. Mr. Strauss, a linguist, having been sworn as in terpreter, Catherine Diebel stated, partly in German and partly in English, that her father was a country la bourer at Weiper-felden, in the Duchy of Nassau, near Frankfort-on the-Maine. The prisoner belonged to the same place. About a year and a half ago the prisoner brought her over to this country, and his wife or woman, his daughter, and a baby accompanied them. She remained with the prisoner and his family up to the 4th of September, when no longer able to endure the starvation and ill-treatment to which she was subjected, she ran away. The pri soner sent her out every morning to sell brooms and toy windmills, and he generally gave her eighteen of one and six of the other, and expected her to sell them all at a penny each, and bring home 2s. If she did not do so, he flogged her. That happened very often. On Tuesday, the 2d of September, she only brought home 11d., and he then beat her in a most savage manner with a large strap over her back and shoulders. He beat her because sho had not brought home 2s. He gave her no food that night, and next morning she ran away from him. In answer to questions by the magistrate, the girl said she was sixteen years of age this month. Balser made an agreement with her father to give her Si. for eighteen months' service, and plenty of food and clothing. She was seventeen months with him. The prisoner received all the money she obtained. She did not know how much he sent to her father. Mr. YARDLEY—This is very pretty. This is the way the pennies go which are given out of charity to these people. Mr. Strauss—The defendant says he sent her father 3/. of the broom money. The girl said she did not know how much the pri soner had sent to her father, who, she thought, was to come to this country at the end of October to fetch her. Mr. YARDLEY—After you have finished your Eng lish education. The prisoner in defence said he never beat the girl at all ; he never knew what she brought home ; he never had her money, and he did not beat her on the Tuesday night. Conrad Schimpf, a German, said he was a skin dresser, and that the parties lived in his house in Col chester-street. They rented one room, in which th€ y all lived. The prisoner beat the girl fifty times or more—he was always beating her. Sometimes her body was black and blue all over. The prisoner beat her with a strap, and at other times kicked her and pinched her. Mr. YARDLEY-Why did you not interfere to save this poor girl trom such barbarous treatment ?—The witness (with a peculiar grin)—Oh, it was nothing to me. _ _ _ Mr. YARDLEY—I think it was a good deal to every body. Schimpf—His room door was always shut, and he was in his own room. Mr. YARDLEY—Because he was in his own room you considered you had no right to interfere ? Schimpf—There were five or six lodgers, his coun trymen, in the front room, and they ought to have interfered. I have said something to him. I heard her scream very much, and heard him beat her, but I did not see him beat her. She had nothing on but rags all the time she was with the defendant. Mr. YARDLEY—HOW is it you did not interfere the last night she was so severely beaten, and was scream ing ? Schimpf—No , I did not. Mr. YARDLEY—ou are an extraordinary man. Schimpf went on to state that it was shocking to hear the girl's cries and screams ; that she was now living with him, and under the kind protection of the Rev. Dr. Cappell. lie expected the girl's father over soon. _ . Margaret Scbimpf, aged 14, daughter of the last witness, said—l have seen Balser beat the girl with a strap a great many times because she did not bring home money enough. Balser often kicked her. The girl Diebel was recalled, and said the prisoner first took her towards Russia, intending that she should sell brooms there, but they could not get into the country. They only got as far as llamburgh. She got food in the streets from kind-hearted peoplr, when she sang her " Buy a broom" song at the areas. But for the gifts of the London people, she would have starved. Mr. YARDLEY said he would like to see the Rev. Dr. Cappel, the ?minister of St. George's German Church, who had so kindly interfered on the girl's behalf, previous to his finally disposing of the case; and on his being informed that the Rev. Gentleman had been compelled to leave the court on business, he adjourned the investigation until Thursday. Willis Ford, a strange ill-looking man, about 38 years of age, was brought up on remand before Mr. Yardley, charged with indecently assaulting several little girls, under ten years of age. The case was one of the most painful ever brought into a court of jus tice. The evidence is unfit fur publication. After a lung inquiry, Mr. YARDLEY committed the prisoner for trial on four different charges. WANDSWORTH. James Buyani, aged 35, George Wise, aged 25, and George Taylor, aged 18 years, described as ostlers, were brought before Mr. Paynter for re-exa mination, on the charge of wilfully setting fire to some premises at the Fox and Hounds public-house, in the Upper Richmond-road, Putney, at which the stables and piggeries were damaged and 14 pigs de stroyed, under very suspicious circumstances. A good deal of evidence was given, without, how ever, any additional facts being proved beyond those mentioned at the previous examination. Mr. PAINTER said the prisoners appeared to have some guilty knowledge of the fire, and it was most extraordinary that they did not alarm the people in the house when the flames were first discovered. In stead of doing so, they ran away from the premises. There appeared to be some irregularities in the house, as the prisoners had full licence to enter the stables, although they seemed to be in no person's employ. He could not dispose of the case at present, until he had examined some other witnesses who were not in attendance. When made up in From what When PLACES.

The following appears in the Assemblee Nationale : " The immersion of the electric wire, so boldly con necting Dover and Calais, has afforded matter to the press during the past week. Mr. Jacob Brett has had many difficulties to encounter. He bad before 1848 been applying most earnestly to the French Government for permission to establish his electric telegraph between the two countries, but owing to the extreme slowness of the offices in France, was always put off to another day. At last came the revolution of February, when the mani festations which were then to be seen in the streets of Paris were not of a nature to give encouragement to industrial undertakings. Mr. Brett at last joined with himself M. Frederic Toche, and both together endeavoured to get their object carried. At last came the election of December 10, and some time after Mr. Brett got himself presented to Prince Louis Napoleon by Count d'Orsay. The Prince listened to Mr. Brett's statement with great attention, and seeing the advantage of the plan, at once promised Mr. Brett his support. It was then about half-past ten in the morning. Have you breakfasted ?' said all of a sudden the Prince. No, Prince,' said Mr. Brett. Then you shall breakfast with me, said the Prince, and when the Council of Ministers meets at half-past eleven, I will see what can be done.' The same day Mr. Brett received a letter from M. Baroche, requesting him to call on him, and from that gentleman he received a decree signed by the President, according him the privilege which he soli cited. At present the wire is laid ; an inauguration fête is spoken of in honour of the opening of the elec tric communication between Paris and London, at which an electric spark communicated at London by Prince Albert is to discharge the cannons of the In valides ; and another, imparted by Prince Napoleon at Paris, is to let off the cannons of the Tower of London. Thought at present knows not what space is, for it has taken lightning for its messenger. It is the fiat lux applied to man.' SEABORNE MAILS.
