[The following appeared in our Fourth Edition of last aright :---] FRANCE. The President of the Republic, on the proposition of the Minister of War, has removed M. Terchon from the command of the battalion of sapeurs-pom peurs of Paris, and replaced him by M. Vives, who was sent away by the men in a sort of eineute in the days of February. M. Terchon, on that occasion, was named to the command by the men them selves. In 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 hand, it will consecrate the restoration of the prin ciple of the inviolability of command by the recal of the superior officer in whPse person it was dis regarded ; on the other, M. 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 corpa„ On the whole, the recall of M. Vives will be a lesson of high morality, which will place in evidence the lalue of dismissals pronounced by revolt, and of appoifit ments' it may make, and at the same time it wrjl a pledge for the good and prompt re-organization,.of corps destined to render great services." The old Legitimatist General d'ilautpoul has com pletely " bamboozled" the President of the Republic in the above case : for M. Vives read M. Louis Na poleon 'Bonaparte, and for M. Terchon read 4 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 Zallverein, 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 in 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 -347,000 thalers ; so thatshe gives , upThlifie refaion in all a yearly revenue of 918,000 thalers. A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin, of the 13th inst., in the Kelner 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 th e 13tIa. 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 definitivoconstitntion 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 Hume-office, from which it ap pears that the Parliament is to meet again on the 26th inst. 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 responsibility arising from the fact that the powers of the ad interim Central Commission of Frankfort had expired before a new Central Govern ment was appointed. With respect to the Congress convoked at Frankfurt by Austria ' the dispatch observes th a t th e Ki ng o f 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 Frankfort 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 br ita Tne Berlin committee for managing the transport of articles to be sent by Germin manufacturers to the Exposition of Industry in L')ndon, 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 ; f ree carr i age b ac k 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 Zollverein. The new railway that will connect Dresden with Prague, passing along the valley of the Elbe, and for a considerable part of the way on the immediate bank of the river, was opened on the 10th from Dresden to Konigstein. The Austrian Congress of States was opened at Frankfort on the llth. 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 advices by the America making the deficiency in the receipts of cotton at the ports of the states 586,000 bales, have added id. per lb. to the prices of most descriptions in the Liverpool market. The effect on our Exchange has been 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 part 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 had some degree of irregularity in the prices asked by spinners; but notwithstanding the inanimate 9haracter of the day, and the limited extent of the business_ effected, they have manifested much indif ference about selling, except on their own te rms. The tone of things is less favour able i n vain to the goods d e p artmen t. It i s i n ask higher prices. While the better printing cloths are in i. moderate request at previous rates, the lower we q r u e a 'ti l es are rather more difficult of sale than they anidlad. apollams and low 6-4 jac conets are very In 40-inch skirtings hardlyinclined to droop in value anything can be done. Contracts are still in existence a considerable ex tent ; but as they run ou e t l e o m n th c e a fc T rt s are not disposed to renew them. Long s i and do mest i cs are again neglected; but t h e prices of last week are the lowest that would be accepted. A nd es market has' ROCHDALE, MONDAI.--The flannel been dull and inactive to.day, and stationary. Wool has undergone little change, and the manufac turers continue to buy very sparingly. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have still to note 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 waitin g for work, which may be owing to the chan ge of patterns for the autumn season. The thro ws t ers, altho ug h working full time , are in the same dull po sition 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. HALIFA X SATURDAY.---The worsted trade con tinues steady, bat by no means animated, and there in no alteration in prices. The demand for yarn is pretty mach the same as it wan, and the quotations are stationary. The wool market is quiet, and the staplers are free sellers at late rates. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—We have had fair average mar kets at the cloth halls, both on Saturday and to-day. The manufacturers continue busy, and stocks keep low. There is a fair business doing in ths ware houses, but the unfavourable weather has somewhat curtailed the'sale of spring goods. _ EXTENSIVE- FORGERIES. LIVERPOOL,' 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 this Hull Flax and Cotton Mill Companyiwas again pl aced in the dock. Mr. Blair, the barrister, instructed by Mr. Harvey, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Aspi na.ll, the barrister, instructed by Mr. Bremner, of this town and Mr. - Barratt,"solicitor of Leeds, again de f ended the prisoner. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 16, 1850. The court was crowded by •rntrcentile men, Its 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 impressions 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 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 Itylands, per pro. Hull Flax and Cotton Mill Compauy, 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 5001., 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- raeter. 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 he 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. Amongst other documents he found a banker's bill for 8971. 10,— [bir. Rushton objected to this course of examination as irrelevant] He found a Bank of England note of 1,0001. in the prisoner's pocketbook, and another of 2001. ; and in the bag 3/. 14s. 103. in coin ; also ten 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 Comp an y, J. Rylands, chief manager, due the 22d March, and endorsed, "W. Threlfall," paidl Messrs. Overhead and Co., or order; Oakes, Bevan, and Co.; pp. Overhead and Co., R. Pelly ; received fur 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 fur 1,5001., dated Manchester, 3d May, 1850, drawn by W. T hrelfall, 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 2,0001., 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 endorsed, " W. Threlfall." Another was for 1,0001., dated Manches ter, 24th April, 1850, drawn by W. Threlfall to his own order at three months' date ou 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 60,000/. ; 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. BROXHOLME. This was a writ of inquiry to aesess damages for false defendant having admitted his liability by allowing judgment to go by default. Mr. SIMoN stated the case. The plaintiff is a youn g gentleman, a surgeon's assistant, and was formerly in the service of a gentleman named Brown, from whence he 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 wag 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 made 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 fact that after plaintiff had threatened to bring an action against defendant for slander in charging him with stealing the book, defendant told Mr. Brown that he was obliged to give plaintiff in charge, or on the Monday he would have had an action brought against him for defamation of character and for wages. The Learned Counsel considered this a case calling fur 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 if he had not done as he had he would have had an action brought against him for defamation of character and fur wages. . Georgina Borthwick, who was servant to defendant, proved that he had sent her to plaintiff to charge him with stealing the book, and defendant said he would forgive him if he confessed. On another occasion he said that he would see the plaintiff banged. Her master had spoken to the customers in the shop, and charged plaintiff with misconduct. Mr. PARRY' cross-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 or trespass for false imprisonment. The Learned Counsel denied that there was any malice. The jury gave a verdict for 701. OURT OF BANKRUPTCY, May 15. ) DGmENT IN RE 31(ABReTroIrNe LMUT.llCE°Rmmpai3:Tci° The case of thi s b ankrupt, the sharebroker or Live I: L e A r ED F . A_N j E u . Liver pool, has been frequently before the Court. To-day was fixed for his Honour to give judgment upon the question of the bankrupt passing his last ex amination. His Ilosona, 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 contidered the accounts sufficient, and that the bankrupt was entitled to pass his last examination. Upon the application of Mr. LAWRENCE, the Bth of June was fixed for the certificat9 meetine. POLICE I CL ERKEN WELL. Yesterday John Bates was placed at the bar before Mr. Combe, charged by Mary Ann Bates, his wife, a respectable-looking young woman, with the following outrage:— The prisoner was also charged , by police.cons'able Baker, 261 N, with having viokutly assaulted hicn wntle in the execution of his duty. —fcappeared from the evidence of the wife that o she had rn n ot been long married to the prisoner, hero.wh: turn short lyi aft their union comeneeid ill-treAtin intoxicated, and p ickin g q uarrels without the° home least provocation. Very recentl y one of her relations died and len . her a legacy, since whichthe prisoner had become more dissolute , and violent, had frequently threatened to murder her, and she went in fear of hz'r life. On Tuesday ho left his residence in Bill's Pond•common, Islington, and in the course of the night he returned home with a mistress addressin g o. young woman, whom be introduced into the - parlour, In future you shall be and, thhiesr,plsaacied.—" she (meaning witness) shall have nothing to do with it.' , ' . And he told the yowl— 6woman to prepare and go to bed. Witness, fearin g through his threats "and former violence, OW her life was in danger, he having sworn just be fore that if she (wimess) said one word he would break her chest in, sho mole towards the parlour- window arid made her escape. The prisoner immediatedly pursued her with violent threats, and in the great.st 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. CostmE 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. CoSIBE—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—And I shall commit you to the House of Correction for one month, with hard labour, with out fine, for the assaalt upon Baker, the officer. (To the wifJ)—And when he is releasel from prison, you may exhibit articles of the peace against him at the sessions. St.° said she would do so; and the prisoner was locked up,eysing. _ _ Yleriopson, the driver of one of Warboy's Paddington and Kerxtington omnibuses, was re-examined, charged with hating 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 coroter's inquest had been held upon the body of the deceated child before Mr. Wakley. Several wit nesses were examined, and after a strict investigation the jury r3turned a verdict of " Accidental Death," without aAributing any or the least blame to the driver of the velicle, woo bore a good character as a steady driver, src Mr. CcetuE, under these circumstances, discharged him from Its recoguisances. — SOUTHWARK. John Rowell was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a gild watch from Miss Ann Crump, of 103, High H lbtrn, in the box cloak-room of the Surrey Theatre. The compainant stated that on the preceding night she went to he boxes of the Surrey Theatre, accorn• panied by a ientleman, a friend of the family; that when the perfortagice concluded she walked to the cloak room, and whle waiting amongst others for her bonnet, she observed tie prisoner standing immediately in front of her. He, limever, moved a little back and stood by her left side, aid 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 or her watch iu his sand, which he let fall the moment he was observed. She at once put her hand to her pocket, and found er gold watch was goce, 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 hadrobbed her of her gold watch, which causei some confusion, but she held him until a police man came up, and she then gave him into custody. a was searched on de spot, but the watch, which it is sus pected he passed to an associate, was not f iund in his possession. ,Reasserted that he was a respeviOle Mir), and it appearedthat he subsequently gave a wrong ad dress to the pc iceman, who stated that the prisoner be longed to a pug of well-dressed thieves who frequented the theatre, 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 innocen of the prEsent charge, was committed for trial. --- SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIME.—So we have at last had a pure Protectionist motion, aimed point blank at the Corn-law Acts of 1846. 'here has been nothing of the kind before, at all events thi• session, for the party from which we have a right ti e;2ect such a proceeding is usually content with a more disgdsed and sinuous policy. The man to throw himself into the gap has been Mr. Grantley Berkeley, and his immoiation on the altar of Protection we caa 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 their shores. The Hon. Member for West Gloucester shire, after drifting some time on the ebb and flow of opinion, according to she ups and downs of the market, has been at last fairly stranded on the desolate beach of Protection, so the natives save laid hold of him, and on Tuesday night we were edifies! by the spectacle of his so lemn cremation on that Artie were so many great minds, reputations, and virtutia have been reduced to ashes and dust. Mr. Grantley Berkeley, however, it must be said, was a perfectly spontaneous victim. His announcement that he was that very Pare thing, a re creant free-trader, was made with the attnost confidence and zest. Had he enveloped his shoullers in a pane tential white sheet, and borne a taper inbis hand, he could not have delivered his confession in amore solem's and deliberate manner. There were difficurties, 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 palimp,est, a perchment from which an oration from Cicero hp been imperfectly washed ou', and a monkish legeo substitused. In t.ct, 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 he the courage to propose a revision of our present corn-laws. Certainly we never feat; asTS'ffung so un equal to the occ as i on . M r . 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 , rks by Lord John to the recent deputation, and some flummery addressed to the same persons by tie Protectionist chief. But if Mr. G. Berkeley is dis aepointel, what did he expect, and whose fault is it? tie was born inlhe year 1800, so that he is either fifty or in his fiftieth year. He has set for his county eighteen years. lle has always lived in the world, and is 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 comes 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, and Russell. He has been hoeussed by the Lancashire witches. We can only say that for alaan 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. On 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 years' 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 se, 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 every 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 some relief for the agriculturists, 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 once. 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 no w t h at 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 speech from which we can conjecture what measures of special relief he desires for the agricul turist, except a duty on corn. He says that the repeal of the duty on bricks is no relief to the agricif turist, but he does not say what would be a relief, though he abuses Government for not having sug gested something themselves. The division is conclu sive-184 for Mr. G. Berkeley's motion, 298 against i t . A majority versions Disraeli observed last night, the debate was simply a wit o b f w l b l4 isb is w a s have very amplebeen th m re a a rg te i n ti e for d. resuscitation of that which took place four years since. Since Mr. Berkeley confined himself to general assertion of ruin and misery, giving neither figures nor date, it is quite unnecessary to follow him through the meander iiigs of a querulous tirade. We expected something better. Ele has added nothing to the controversy, not an ides, not a fact. The only thing he urges is that which we have all heard often enough—that corn has betel low since last harvest. Till last harvest the prices ( f corn and all other agricultural produce had ruled hi g h enough; indeed, the average cf wheat since February, 184 i, has been higher than it was for the four e e , v .ery t tinae e pricessce seen years i mmediately previous to that date. For the last w fa h l e l, th ander Parliament to b e compelled eight mont h s i t has certainly been low. It remains, how er, o b i s t some stimulant or restorative to the agricultural patient.

The source resorted to is the Henley Reach of the River Thames, after that river has received the waters of the Kennett and the Loddon. The purity of the water there is estab lished by all past inquiries; and the Bill contains clauses 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 Can a l s , f or the purpose of flushing the sewers. Th e execution of th e powers o f the Act is entrust e d, not to a Crown C omm i ssion or to a joint stock company, b u t to a representative comm i ss i on , elected in the first i nstance by the board s o f guardians in the metropolis, and sub sequently by the rat e -p ayers in the same way as th ey e l ect guardians of the poo r . N o profit i s to b e d er i ve d f rom the under taking. Th e rate-payers of Lon d on are t o fi nd money for the executi on o f it, and to t h em th e Bill gives, a s t o t h em constitutionally belongs, the administration of the funds which they contribute. Powers are contained in the Bill for the purchase of existing water-works, if the companies think fit to sell them. Males Females A " MAY" SNOWBALL.-01) Sunday last the mail from the north was delayed nearly a full hour, in consequence of the obstruction which the train met with from snow. The carriages on their arrival at Preston were partially whitened on their tops with snow flakes, and one of the porters at the station was enabled to collect a snowball —a rather curious phenomenon in May.— Liverpool Standard. •.• ; 1 ; I.'HE'' , 'SUICIDE FROM THE YORK COLUMN. CORONER'S INQUEST. Iref,teriltv aft , ..rnoon an inquest was held by Mr. Bpd ford, the voroncr for Westminster, in the board-room of St. Martin's workhouse, on the body of M. Henri Se. Phan, a French gentleman, who committed suicide on Tuesday morning last, by precipitating himself from the Ihke cf York's column, in 5... James's Park. The circumstances atendiog this most apalling act of self-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 mot frightful appearance, and on their return to the inquest-room the frllowing evidence was taken:— Mr. William Fish stated that he was the hail-keeper at her Majesty's Theatre, and that he knew the de ceased, Henri Josephe Stephan, very well. He was 38 years of age, and held the situation cf horn-player in the orchestra of her Majesty's Theatt e. He saw the deceased on Monday last, as it formed part of his duty to cheek the attendance f every person engaged in the theatre. The deceased then looked sery dull, but wit ness had no conversation with him. During the whole of the present opera season he had appeared duller than he was last year. Had seen the body and identified it as that of M. Henri Stephan. M. Emile Petit, a brother-in-law of the deceased, re siding in Gerrard-street, Soho, sail that he was em ployed as under ballet-master at her Majesty's Theatre, and lived with the deceased. Deceased had been very lull and unwell for a long period. At times he did not think that he was rational, as he could get no distinct viewer 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 (tad not been disappointed in his circumstances. To a Juror—Knew of no cause whatever for unhappi ness, as he held a good situation. Wiliam 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-pant 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 vestien 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 ho immediately turned round in the opposite direction to the door, and was out of sight of witness in a moment. He was gone over before witness had time to reach the top, and therefore he did not see how h.e 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 tour 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 half-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 ho turnel round two or three times, and then struck against the base cf the co lumn, finally falling on the foot pavement with his arm under him. A 12rge pool of blood was immediately formed froui the injuries he had sustained. He was quite deal when witness got up to him. Mr. Hutchinson, of Now -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 he received was from seeing a man's hat come dowc. The deceased fell head-foremost on the pavement. Mr. John Bainbridge, surgeon, said that he had made a post mortem 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 ou the abdumen e 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 was broken. There were besides several other extensive injuries, any one of which was sufficient to cause death. He had , 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. 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 summed 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 he required ; but, at any rate, it should be forwarded to the proper autheritie.. THE HEALTH OF LONDON. (From the Return of the Registrar-Gdneral.) j ec . 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 'n the years 1847.9; that it is also less than in 1843, but greater than in the same week of the other six years. The average of the seventy weeks is 870, or corrected for increase of population, 949 ; as com pared with the corrected average, the mortality of last week shows a decrease of 92 deaths. The total deaths from the zymotic 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 hoop ' ing cough, 36 ; and typhus, 26 ; the mortality from each of these epidemics being less than the average. From diarrhoea there were 8, which is about the average ; this disease exhibits a decline on former weeks. But scarlatina shows an increase, the num • hers 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 1% erysipelas. A woman of 54 years died of scurvy. 1 1 2 Diseases of the respiratory organs, exclusive of t% hooping cough and consumption, were fatal to 137 % persons, which is about the corrected average ; from laryngitis there wer e f our d eat h s, f rom b ronchitis 51, as from pneumonia 56, from pleurisy 5, and from asthma , 13. 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. A beershop-keeper, aged 46 years, died of " bmmatemesis (68 hours)." He is reported to have )3( 2 been an habitual drunkard. The classification of Od deaths in public institutions shows that 77 persons 3s, were registered as having died in workhouses, 37 in es hospitals, sin military and naval establishments, and in lunatic asylums. 217 6 23 MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS ----„--_____— Id.

Williams, the ex-Member fa. Coventry, hove raised an opposition against the directors for:mere party purposes ; would sustain a signal defeat. has laPen reali•ecl to a mortifying extent, which we must confess we did not anticipate. In power and 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 a 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, and would possibly make a " deceat 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. Tha information we have obtained, and which we believe may be fully relied on, is, that the directors have had their policy sanctioned by not only:an overwhelming but an annihilatingimajority of votes, and an enormous preponderance of the stock of the company—t) an extent, in fact, that can scarcely fail to astonish even Mr. 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 live, 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, aid of his untiring indefatigability in promoting the interests of the undertaking. We have, nut once, twice, nor thrice, but more time fifty times, found him at the Paddington station long before the starting of the earliest train, and as frequently seen him on 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. Kind-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 services, 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 GOO/. a year. And what is the consequence of the attempted introduction of such a policy? He retires from the compile) , whose interests he has greatly promoted, and goes, at a higher salary. azi 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. Inaine.l ately the report of the consultation committee was circulated, se veral cf the valuable assistants resigned their situation, being utterly without hope of benefiting themselves atter 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 service, 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. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE OXFORD, MAY 15.—1 n the Convocation to be holden on Saturday next, the 18th instant, at ten o'clock, the name of the Rev.
