General MENABREA, in announcing the entry 0 4 the three new Ministers in the Cabinet, made somf interesting remarks in the Chamber of Deputies. He declared that the country desired more than anything perfect accord between the Government and the Parliament, and that this once accomplished the principle of order and authority must triumph. In this appeal for concord and conciliation the General has shown his sense of the fitness of things, and his appreciation of the situation in which he finds himself. In adverting to the measures laid before Parliament, he earnestly entreated for them the favourable regard of the Chamber, more especially for the Budget of 1868, the failure of which will endanger the success of the administra- tion, and imperil the cause of order. "'par duty is DO light one," he impressively added in conclusion, " for the reactionary party have been seeking to carry out their own views and divide the coun try. Let us all, therefore, rally round the flag of the Mcnarchy, of duty, and of liberty—let us work harmoniously to avert peril ; relying upon faith in our right, strong in the experience we have acquired of dangers past, we shall be able to over come the present peril, and attai❑ the object de sired by all—the independence, greatness, and liberty of Italy." These are most honourable sen timents, and it is to be hoped that the Chamber will have sufficient sense and spirit to appreciate them in their integrity and independence, and thus to assist the Minister in his arduous enterprise, whieh is worthy of regard and respect. The enthusiastic reception which our Australian colonists have given to the QUEEN'S second son augurs well for the strength of the tie which binds the population of those vigorous new worlds to the old mother country. The rapid and peculiar growth of the Australian colonies, the heterogeneous popu lation which grew up in consequence of the gold discoveries, and the vast distance which even in these days of rapid transit separate them from Great Britain, might reasonably have led us to suppose that the flame of loyalty would not burn very brightly in those southern seas. The generation which has grown up so far out of sight and reach might well be excused for regarding with more curiosity than devotion the representative of a Power so far distant, the visitor from a country so remote and so different. CAMPBELL, in his beauti ful address to a band of Australian emigrants, after referring to the natural regrets which the exile must feel for his native country, reminds them that "Not a pang that England's name imparts Shall touch a fibre of his children's hearts," but that to them the fair and fertile land, " Which yields the sickle twice its harvest home," will claim their dutiful affection, aLd be endeared by all the ties of early association. If the Aus tralians themselves are thus likely to be gradually weaned from their old feelings, we might naturally suppose that the mixed community, German, Ame rican, Chinese, wanderers and adventurers, in fact, from every part of the earth, would be still less in terested in the visit of an English rrince. In one of the principal colonies, too, the whole community has been recently agitated by a political crisis of considerable importance, so that there was not even a previous dearth of excitement of interest to make the visit of the Galatea more remarkable or more welcome. Yet the actual position of affairs has been completely different from what we might infer from these reflections. The whole population has, with singular unanimity, risen en masse to receive the Royal visitor with the most enthusiastic loyalty. The splendour of the reception accorded him in Melbourne has done honour to the taste and the liberality of the Victorians. The Duke of EDIN BURGII may well realise that he has got into " the gold country" when he hears of the sums voted for his entertainment; £5,000 was at first asked for, but as time went on and the public excitement in creased, the Assembly, whose democratic tendencies have produced the collision between the two houses, unanimously voted £15,000. This grant of public money was speedily supplemented by sub scriptions and collections, to which Ballarat alone contributed £B,OOO. While so many good works are languishing among ourselves for want of funds, we may well wish for a few of the Australian subscribers on this side of the equator. These funds were expended with a liberal hand, and every street and thoroughfare in Melbourne has shown signs of animated preparation. The accounts of the Duke's reception at Adelaide fired the enthusiasm of the citizens of Melbourne to the highest pitch, and they were resolved that Victoria should not be behind her sister colony in the race of loyalty. The description of the entrance into Melbourne harbour gives us a most brilliant picture. There, where some thirty years back was a wilderness and a solitude, were ships of all nations gaily flaunting their flags, while tens of thousands of eager spectators lined the shores, cheering in true British fashion. Already has the vision of the poet been realised-- " Of navies hoisting their embroidered flags Where shipless seas now wash untrodde n crags , Of hosts reviewed iu dazzling files and squares , Their pennonod trumpets breathing native airs." The volunteer mounted troopers of Victoria played a prominent part in the reception of the Prince, and any one who looked at the long procession of Ministers and corporations, and orders and as sociations, which escorted the Prince through the crowded streets of the prosperous city might well be amazed to remember how recent was the origin of the whole community. rhe number of per sons and addresses presented to the DUKE at the New Exhibition, where he held his levee the day after his arrival, was almost over whelming, while the illuminations which met the eye on every side in the evenings were worthy of European experience. It is gratifying to know that the DUKE was much impressed by the g ood conduct of the crowds who received him, and de clared them to be the most orderly which he had ever seen. That this was something more than an empty compliment is shown by the fact that on the night after the grand reception not a single person was locked up for misconduct. So far as the details have yet reached us the visit of the PRINCE to these Southern latitudes has been an unbroken success. It has tended much to strengthen the ties between the two countries, by showing how warm and strong is the feeling which our Australian fellow-subjects still cherish for Eng land, her Sovereign, and her institutions. The universal empire for which adventurous monarchs of old used to sigh is granted to England in a new form. She is content to see her children take their own independent place, but in her wise and timely surrender of arbitrary control she has learned the secret of securing and cementing a more enduring influence. ‘Vekarn 'rom the telegraph, bringing yesterday's news from New York, that General MEADE, corn mander of the third military district, has removed Mr. JENKINS from the governorship of Georgia, and has appointed General DuNN in his place. Mr. JENKINS upon this has appealed to President JOHNSON for protection, so that a fresh political disturbance is imminent. It will be remembered that General MEADE is but just appointed to the command of the third district, in the room of General POPE. It was only on Saturday, the 28th A December, that the PRESIDENT'S order was issued removing POPE and ORD from their commands and appointing MEADE:and M‘DowELL in their places. General ORD was removed at his own request, and THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, 1868 merely exchanged commands with his successor ; but General MEADE, we may reasonably suppose, was selected to fill General POPE'S place from his adherence to the Presidential policy. Scarcely is he in office, however, before he proceeds to the ex treme measure of removing the civil governor of the state, and of replacing him by a military com mander. Mr. JOHNSON can hardly overlook so serious an infraction of civil rights, though the grounds on which General MEADE has acted are not before us. Of other news we have little that is important, though the arrival of the Africa brings us intelligence to the last day of the year. The whites in several parts of Virginia and North Carolina have asked for military protection from the apprehended violence of the negroes, and some efforts are being made to relieve the miserable condition of the destitute people. Mr. CHASE IS being put forward for the Presidency in some quarters, though luckily with little chance of Success. The Conservative Association at Croydon has just been celebrating its first anniversary on Satur day. The speeches delivered on the occasion were full of interest, and that of Mr. GARTH, M.P., in proposing the toast of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, was especially worthy of notice. He took a com prehensive view of politics, and expressed some of those views which the most enlightened members of his party have long since entertained, and the effect of which has been the Reform Bill of last Ses sion. As Conservatives he maintained that they should seek to preserve the time-honoured institutions of their land, but meanwhile they should not slumber. " Conservatism did not mean inactivity, either social or political." This is essentially true, and we are glad to find sound sense and patriotic senti ment put forward in so efficient a manner. A country like England cannot stand still, if it does not progress it must deteriorate ; but progess need not necessarily mean a vehement change and a direct alteration. The more gradually the work is done the better, so long as it is effected in the right way ani in the right direction. Whoever else may have laid themselves open to the charge of neg lecting this task, certainly her MAJESTY'S Ministers have not done so. In the several depart ments of the State they have displayed a zeal and ability that have not often been equalled, and in Foreign affairs Lord STANLEY has contrived to do far more than his immediate predecessors, notwith standing that some very awkward tasks fell to his lot. As Mr. GARTH very forcibly put it respecting the great work of last session, " The Government had had the courage to bring forward a measure of Parliamentary Reform, more large, more gene rous, more liberal in its conception and in its execu tion than any measure that had ever been conceived by what was called a Liberal Government." We quite agree with the hon. member in his opinions con cerning the working-classes. It is quite a Mistake on the part of some politicians to suppose that they are opposed to the institutions at present existing ; and, on the contrary, there is every reason to believe they share with those in more affluent circumstances in the desire to maintain them. They have in some instances complained with justice that they have not a sufficient share in the representation ; but that grievance has now, happily, been removed. In answer to the question put by some captious and jealous looker on as to how the measure would be received, Mr. GABTII pointed to the reception of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in Edinburgh, " a city not generally distinguished by its attachment to Conservative principles," and also to the increase of working men's Conservative associations through out the country. Another significant sign might he seen in the speeches of some " political opponents," and, in the spleen and jealousy which were manifested in those speeches, which told so unmistakeably a tale of defeat and disappointment." Mr. CLEASBY, who acted as chairman in the absence of Mr. SUTHERLAND, the President., through illness, made some remarks on the subject immediately interesting to them, namely, the asso ciation which brought them together. Some dis advantages have, no doubt, sprung up to counter balance in some degree the material prosperity this country has long enjoyed, and among them Mr. CLEASBY cited the presence among us of the " most unscrupulous and most unpatriotic demagogues that have ever attempted to sow discontent in any country." When we recall the many ex traordinary speeches that had been made in various directions, calling into question the merits of the institutions under which the people of this country have so long flourished, and remained freer in the true acceptation of the term than any community that ever existed, we feel tempted to coincide with the strictures here met with in this discourse, and to subscribe to the truth of this re mark. " These pigmies imagined that they alone had done anything for the honour aul happiness of England ; but England was the greatest country in the world before they were able to wag their tongues against her." This entertainment may be regarded on the whole as a satisfactory affair, not in a party sense, so much as under a general view of it, for the ultimate triumph of true principles in a constitutional manner must depend in a great measure upon their universal recognition, and un less all parties in the State virtually combine, they cannot be successful in a permanent style. Differ ences may exist, but, more or less, there must be some neutral ground formed, and the country must attain that social and political excellence upon which its prosperity mainly depends, and which can alone prevent strife and discord. The semi-official Gazette of Florence publishes a Circular of the Minister of the Interior to the Pre fect upon the internal policy of the Government. In this we find some excellent counsel giveM to those who are anxiously looking out for Reforms of one sort or another. He emphatically states that " the first essential condition for the liberty of all is respect for and observance of the law." This is very true, and it is to be hoped that due attention will be paid to it, for everything depends upon its strict observance. Equally true is the following remark, that the object in question can not be attained unless the Government should possess the necessary authority and energy. It stands to sense that those whose bounden duty it is to carry out those rules and regulations neces sary for the preservation of order should be enabled to make their orders respected. Italy will never secure her own liberty or the prosperity of her people unless she can conform to these observ ances, which are so necessary, and which the well being of her State imperatively calls for. A capital illustration of the injuries inflicted upon the cause of freedom by those who catch up the name of it but are totally ignorant of its real meaning. In country where any section can successfully counterac the authority of the Government by putting them selves above the Parliament, as the Minister here happily expresses it in this Circular, " there would be only liberty for the few, depriving of liberty all the others," What a picture is this of the condition of some nations who have followed in the tract of evil advisers, and lost far more than they Lave gained. We hope and trust that the Italians will have sufficient sense to follow the advice thus tendered to them in the spirit of patriotism, and to renounce their own desires rather than compromise the gene ral interests and security of the community. Abso lutism and anarchy are alike to be avoided, but into one of two extremes will those fall who do not adopt the safe medium course, which may offer few attractions to the extravagant politician, but which is in the end the wisest and the most secure one. The existing laws must be carried out, no matter how inimical they may be to some unruly spirits who advocate reform in all directions except when it concerns themselves. There is no use in mincing matters, and, therefore, we consider the very decided and determined remarks in this Circu lar were most opportune and most suitable to the times and the temper of the people to whom they are addressed. " And in this sole consideration," observes the Minister in reference to the observance of the law, " can the liberty of all be assured and guaranteed, nor can the unity of Italy otherwise attain that culmination to which the country unanimously aspires." The best that can be hoped for is that the Circular may receive due attention and regard, and meet with that observance which it so truly merits. LATEST INTELL IGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA.

The exports during the same period were as follows :—To Great Britain, 40,000 bales ; Havre, 7,000 ; other Continental ports, 7,000. Total stock at all the United States ports 388,000 bales. ARRIVAL OF THE HERMANN. Nicw YORK, Jan. 2 (Morning). General Canby has issued an order providing the homestead exemption from legal seizure, and has revoked General Sickles' order prohibiting the sale and distillation of liquor in North and South Carolina. The Louisiana Convention has adopted an article of the Constitution prohibiting distinction on ac count of colour in public conveyances. Eleven of the twenty-tkree Republican candi dates in Alabama have declined the nomination. Mr. Davis and wife have arrived at New Orleans. President Johnson has assigned General T. W. Sherman (not Lieut.-General Sherman) to succeed General Meade, in command of the department in the East. It is reported that Lord Monck has received in structions to remain in Canada another year. The revolt at Yucatan continues. The rebels hold Merida. In consequence of the revolt Juarez has issued an order, banishing all Imperialists. __ The North German Lloyd steamer Hermann, from New York, arrived at Southampton to-day, (13th January) with 40 passengers, 46 sacks of mails for England, $1,152,371 for London, $152,172 for Paris, and $6OO and 2,526 packages of cargo for Bremen. NEW YORK, Jan. 2. Advices from Japan, via San Francisco, to the 6th December, state that the Tycoon has resigned the governing power to the Mikado. The opening of the port of Jeddo is deferred until the Ist of April. YOKOHAMA, Dec. 6, via San Francisco, Jan. 1. The Government of the empire will henceforth be carried on under the Mikado, by a council of damaios or nobles. There are many rumours afloat of troubles at Kiato, the metropolis of the empire. Some assert that the death of Stotsbaski has taken place, but it is not generally believed. Osaca and Viogan, or the inland sea, will cer tainly be opened to foreign commerce on the Ist of January, 1868. The new port to be opened on the west coast of he Empire is Neagala, as named i n th e or i g i na l .reaty ; but the harbour at that place, being unsafe !or foreign ships coming in, that of Ebisunito, on ;he island of Sado, 30 miles distant, is to be made .he port of entry in its stead. This port and harbour are to be opened on the Ist of April. The reason for the delay given by the Japanese is that they cannot prepare the settlements before that period.

Tho action was brought by her Grace to have it declared that she had the exclusive right to these scalps, the title on which she founded being her infeftment in the lands of the barony of Tarbat, the grant of which from the Crown comprised the " salmon fishing, and power of killing and catching other fishes, as well small as great." Immemorial possession was also pleaded in behalf of pursuer. It was maintained by the defenders that the Crown had no power to confer upon an individual a public right such as that of fishing for mussels, and that, at all events, such a right could only be conferred by express grant. The case first came before Lord Ordinary Baroaple, who held that the pursuer, not having shown an express title, had failed to establish her right. His Lordship was of opinion that the mussel scalps, unlike the salmon fishings,whioh were patrimonial property, could only be held by the Crown for the public use. This judgment was reclaimed to the Second Division, who directed written argument, after conside ration of which their lordships unanimously altered the de cision of Lord Barncaple, and found for the pursuer. Lord Cowan, in giving his opinion, said it was impossible to read the authorities without coming to the conclusion that the mussel beds wore among the regalia niinera, and as such capable of alienation and transference to a private person, just as salmon fishings and other patrimonial property were. He also held that the expression " with fishings," which would have been sufficient in the case of salmon, was a good title to the mussels. Lord Neaves remarked that the title of the pursuer included the right to work minerals under the sea and all other similar rights ; and while the right might be subject to certain public rights, such as those of navigation, and perhaps also white fishing, the solum or fundus of the sea still remained the property of the Crown, and might be given out by the Crown, with all its accessories, to a subject, so as to become private pro perty. He held that the mussel scalps were convoyed in this case as ono of these accessories, the mussel being quite as much a fixture as sea ware or any Marine plant. Tt►e Lord Justice-Clerk and Lord Benhohno concurred, and judgment was accordingly given against the fishermen. THE ALLEGED LIGHTS AT WHITBUHN.—The Whitburn fishermen have held a meeting, and expressed their indignation at the calamities which have happened with reference to the alleged lights. They determined also to memorialise the Board of Trade and the Secretary of the Lifeboat Institution, and declare that, until an in quiry is made, they will to a man refuse to go off in the lifeboat. DM PARIS. CORRESPO (FROU nUR OWN connEsroNttrr.) PARIS, SUNDAY, Jan. 12. A batch of ten only of the journals originally named is to be prosecuted for the comments on the proceed ings in the Corps Legislatif. They are the Constitutionnel, Journal des Debats, ()Pinion Nationale, Temps, Avenir National, Journal de Paris, Union, Sicle, Interet Public, and Glancur. The Presse, Epoque, Patric, Gazette de Paris, and .12evue Nationale have obtained a happy deliverance, the autlaorities feeling that there was no chance of a case being =tie out against them. Yesterda the petition presented by M. Charles Baudin, French Min i ster Plenipotentiary at the Hague, and M. Alphonse Baudin his brother, complaining that the new boulevard projected by Baron Haussmann would cut off a corner of the Montmartre Cemetery, and pass so near their father's tomb as to render it liable to desecration hereafter, was adopted in the Senate by 50 against 33 votes. The debate was very lively, and Baron Haussmann got severely handled. In military circles there is much talk of a new gun poyedei, which has been invented by M. Schultze, until lately a captain in the Prussian Artillery. The powder has been submitted to the Minister of War here, and I am told that the experiments which have been performed have been most successful. The new material contains neither saltpetre, charcoal, nor sulphur, and possesses immense projective force. The fact that it leaves no residue will render the poudre blanche, as it is called, very suitable for use in rifled guns. The action brought before the Civil Tribunal of the Seine by the cabman Schumacher and his wife agains their daughter the Marquise d'Orvault, for an alimentary pension, to which I drew attention some time since, will not have been forgotten by your readers. The court has now decided that the Marquise shall pay for the future to Schumacher and his wife I,ooof. a year for life, the said sum to be reduced on the death of one of them to 700 f. a year. The court, at the same time, blamed the -applicants for the scandalous disclosures which they had so uselessly been the means of bringing before the world. Much more has been made of the Emperor's fall on the ice than the nature of the accident demanded. The only injury his Majesty received was a slight bruise on the forehead. Having been assisted to rise, the Emperor rested in a cafe for a few moments, and then drove back to the Tuileries. A collection for relieving the need of the poor during this time of bitter cold and dire distress has been made on the skating-ground of the Cerelc des Patineurs. Tile Emperor, Empress, and Prince Imperial subscribed 1,500 f., and the members of the club and other persons present 3,000 f. The vicinity of the Hotel de Ville is besieged nightly with immense crowds of starving labourers clamouring for food or work. Bread tickets are distributed by the command of the Emperor. The condition to which the East of Prussia and the North of Russia have been reduced is described as being very sad. The correspondent of a Paris paper says that in the town of Gumbonnen, close to the Russian frontier, a horrible disease, the " typhus of hunger," has just broken out. At Memel mobs of starving wretches assail the bakers' shops and the merchants' counting-houses, claiming food and money. The constitution of the present Prussian Parliament is curious and varied. It contains 4 Ministers in office and 7 without office, 41 functionaries from the higher spheres of civil administration, 41 " landrathe," 2 provincial administrators, 22 bourgmeisters, 7 State contractors, S attorneys, 1 prison director, 51 judges, 13 barristers, 1 railway director, 7 Catholic ecclesiastics, 4 Evangelical ministers, 98 noble and 84 ordinary landed proprietors, 12 independent gentlemen, 32 manufacturers, millers, pro prietors of mines, merchants, publishers, and bankers, 4 doctors, and 19 professors, librarians, newspaper editors and writers. The Provincial Government of Crete has convoked a National Assembly, to which all the provinces of the island are sending delegates, for the purpose of giving public ex pression to the wishes of the population and of establishing the Cretan Government upon a permanent basis. One of the most influential and wealthy Turks, a resident in Crete, has recently joined the cause of the Provisional Government, upon the ground that there is more liberty and safety and less taxation and vexation under the Chris tian than under the Mahommedan rnlo. The Provisional Government is daily gaining in strength, and entertains strong hopes of a speedy recognition as a de facto Govern ment by foreign Powers. Information has been received in America that the Stockholm newspaper, the Vial)late, advises the Swedish Government to follow the example of Denmark by selling to the United States its West India Island of St. Bartho lomew. This is regarded in official circles, says the New York Herald, as another indication that European monarchies are retiring from this continent under the influence of the Monroe doctrine. • According to the Times correspondent the Crown is placed in a very undesirable position in Australia. Sum,. time since it made an application to the Assembly for a temporary supply of £500,000. This was voted, but the Council has refu,sed to confirm the vote. The consequence is that the Crown is without supplies, and is being sued by public servants and contractors by thousands, under the Crown Remedies Act. The Government. having no de fence to these actions, either at law or in equity, are com pelled to allow judgment to go by default. The Governor has made an appeal to the country on the subject in dis pute between the two Houses. The Argus, in a manner which is plain, if it be not polite directs the attention of the Royal visitor to the colony, to the condition of things which exists. In a solemn leader the Duke of Edinburgh is informed " that for the very billiard-table on which he amuses himself after the labo, rious pleasures of the day, his Royal mother has been sued, and has even 'still, notwithstanding the prothonotary's certificate, omitted to pay." It is said, however, that his Royal Highness shews a callous and even cheerful in difference to the harrowing situation of " his Royal mother" as a defendant in - the Supreme Court of Vie t(); h. The working of the protective tariff in Victoria has dis appointed its friends and advocates. It has called no new manufactures into existence, while it has strangled soi :e which were previously flourishing. It has seriously injured commerce, diminished employment, raised the price of almost every imported commodity, diminished the ex changeable value of gold, in spite of a reduction of one shilling per ounce in the export duty, led to a serious falling-off in the traffic returns of the Government railways, and occasioned a progressive decline in the general revenue, indicative of a diminishing power of consuming dutiable goods on the part of the people. We are glad to learn by the pr esent mail that some of the supporters of this anti gusted. system in the colony have changed sides, and az) now hostile critics. It was lately stated that Sir Edmund Lacon, one of the last members for Yarmouth, would be nominated for the north-cast division of Norfolk in the Conservative interes at the next election. The Daily News characterises the statement as at least premature, and hints at the proba bility of Sir E. Lacon's political career terminatin j with the dissolution of the present Parliament. Professor Blackie has been lecturing at Gal:: sLic's cn " Government." The learned gentleman discussed such abstract questions as the fundamental principles of government, the best form of government, and the dangers of democracy ; and more practical questions, such as the soundness of the principle of voting by majorities, and the Reform Bill of 1867, which the lecturer character ised as a flagrant piece of mismanagement. In the course of his speech for the proprietor of the Irishman, who has been sent for trial on a charge of having published seditious libels, Mr. Heron, Q.C., referred to Some evictions which are shortly to take place on tl: e estate of the Marquis of Sligo, near Westport. It is esti mated that between five and six hundred persons will be turned out of tenancies occupied by themselves and their fathers for generations. The decrees of ejectment were obtained on notices to quit; no rent, it is said, being due. The object is supposed to be, to consolidate the holdings into one large farm. In reply to the objection urged against permitting more local government in Ireland, that it would lead to diffe rent systems of law in different parts of the empire, Mr. Boyd Kinnear, in a letter to the Daily News, points out how many systems of local law are found in England. Surrey has a legal system of tenant-right; Lincolnshire has a different one; the weald of Yorkshire has a third. What would the farming interest of any of these countie s say if Parliament were to interfere with its own customary law against the expressed wish of its own representatives? Middlesex and Yorkshire have a system of compulsory registration of titles, which no other county has. Kent refuses to acknowledge the very fundamental point of aristocratic institutions, and insists on retaining the law of gavelkind, or equal division of landed property, instead of that of primogeniture. Mr. Boyd Kinnear asks what sound objection there can be to our respecting in the wide and more distinctive fields of Scotland and Ireland the local laws or feelings which we habitually re spect in every English county in which they exist. He denies that Scotch loyalty is due simply to the increase of prosperity since the Union, inasmuch as the Highland population have not shared the prosperity. They are loyal in spite of starvation and evictions. The foundation of the national loyalty is that practically we have developed a system which permits Scotland to be governed by and for Scotsmen, LAW INTELLIGENCE—This ray. This morning the first sittings of Middlesex com mon juries commenced for Ililary Term. In con sequence of the new County Court Regulations the number of cases was much lighter than hitherto, and it is anticipated that as soon as these regula tions have time to operate effectually the large arrears of business now constantly accruing in the superior courts of common law will be done away with, and suits will not have to remain a year or longer untried. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN V. BURKE. Mr. Coleridge moved for a rule to show cause why a writ should not issue directing the removal of the trial of Colonel Burke, the Fenian chief, from Warwick, to the Central Criminal Court. It was submitted that owing to the strong religious feeling in Birmingham, and on the part of the dis trict, it was not likely that:the prisoner could have a fair trial. It was also urged that many of the witnesses resided in London, and trying the pri soner at 'Warwick would involve a very serious additional expense upon him, and deprive him of the services of his attorney, who carried on practice in London. The Court intimated that they could scarcely deal with the matter until the indictment was found, and, as the witnesses would have to attend before the grand jury, it would be a matter for consideration whether the trial should not proceed, and not being the witnesses back to London. Ultimately it was arranged to postpone the matter until the Attorney-General had been consulted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. :Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron Bramwell and a Common Jury.) SAGE V. ROBINSON. This was an action to recovar the sum of £39 7s. 3d. for goods sold and delivered and work and labour done. Mr. M'lntyre appeared for the plaintiff ; the de !endant was undefended. It appeared that some few months ago the manag ing man of the plaintiff, who is a shop-front builder iu London, called upon the defendant, who is a tradesman carrying on business in Barrow-iu-Fur ness, in Lancashire. The defendant gave the manager an order for a shop front, which, with an experienced man to fit it, came to the amount claimed. The Plaintiff sent an experienced workman from Preston to Barrow-in-Furness, and the shop front was pro perly fitted, but since that period nothing had been paid to plaintiff. The foreman of the plaintiff, and the fitter of the shop front, proved these facts, arid the jury returned a verdict for the full amount, the learned judge remarking that the plaintiff had be haved so fairly that he had not even charged the re turn journey of his workman to Preston. COURT OF ARCHES. (Before the Right Hon. Sir Robert Phillimore, Dean of Arches.) MARTIN V. MACHONOCIIIE.-RITUALISM IN HOLBORN. The argument in this suit was resumed this morning. Mr. Stephens, Q.C., Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Dr. Swabey appeared for the promoter ; and Mr. James, Q.C., Mr. Prideaux, and Dr. Tristram for the defendant. .This case has now arrived at a very interesting stage, and one which is watched with considerable interest by both parties in the Church. The learned Dean of Arches, on taking his seat, said that he wished to call Mr. Prideaux's attention to one portion of his argument on which he had dwelt very strongly, that miters are not "rites" and " ceremonies," and this formed the greater part of his argument and the pro per construction of them. Ile would point out that these words came from " ritus," " ceremonia3," and according to the 22d Sess., chap. 5, of the Council of Trent, it was distinctly stated that all these matters were included as distinct rites and ceremonies, and not merely ceremonial ordinances. The words used were lights, incense, &c., and ac cording to this authority, although he was not go ing to set it forward in any way, as he only wished to get assistance from counsel, yet he thought that according to this authority these were considered the titles of ceremonies, and not merely portions of a right or ceremonies. Mr. Prideaux considered that this did affect his argument at all. He then proceeded to argue that these ceremonials were only parts of the " rite" or " ceremony," and that they had formerly grown to be so numerous that some were obliged to be abo lished. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar liazlitt.) IN RE STRACHAN, PAUL, AND BATES. These bankrupts had been bankers and army agents in the Strand. This was an old bankruptcy, dating from 1855, and it created a groat deal of excitement at the time of the failure, as a criminal prosecution, resulting in a penal sentence upon Sir John Dean Paul, Bart., one of the partners, was ordered. To-day was ap pointed for a dividend meeting, as the last assets had been collected by the official assignee. The proceedings were purely formal, and it was under stood that at present there was an appeal pending in the matter. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —This Day. .IARLEOROUGII - STREET. ROBBERY DTA. WArtEnousEmAN.—Albert Edward Portch, warehouseman in the employ of Messrs. Wilson and Campbell, woollen warehousemen, of Oxford street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing the sum of £207, the moneys of his employers. From the evidence it appeared that the prison er , w h o was in the employ of Messrs. Wilson and Camp bell as warehousemen, was entrusted with the sum of £207 to pay to Mr. Fellingham, of N o . 38, Devonshire-street, Portland-place, but instead of doing so he absconded, and went to Frome, Somersetshire, where he was taken into custody by Butcher, a plain-clothes officer of the C division, when he said that he got drunk and either lost or was robbed of the money. Mr. Fehrenbach, foreman to Mr. Fellingham, said he took some checks, to the amount of £207, to Messrs. Wilson and Campbell, of Oxford-street, and the cash for them was to be sent the same day, but he never received it. The prisoner, who had no questions to ask, was committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. VIOLENT ASSAULT WITH A QUART POT.—Mar tin Hawley, a labourer, was charged with violently assaulting a man with a quart pot. There was no prosecutor when the case was called on, and The constable stated that he bad just seen the prosecutor outside, and he intended to prosecute, but the prisoner's friends had taken him away, no doubt intending to keep him away from the court when the case was called on. Mr. Ingham asked the constable if ho knew any thing of it. Alfred Matthews, 60 B, who got into the box with a quart pot in his hand, flattened and covered with blood, said he was called to the Admiral Keppel publichouse, in Fulham-road, on Saturday night at a quarter to eight, and found a man with his head cut open and bleeding profusely. The prisoner was given into his custody, and the landlord said in the presence of the prisoner that the prisoner was kicking the pot about, and the prosecutor stooped and picked it up. The prisoner snatched it from him, and struck him over the head with it, rendering him insensible. Prisoner and his mates resisted the police, and it took four constables to get him out of the house. Prisoner was drunk and very violent. Mr. Ingham remanded the prisoner till Friday, and granted a summons for the attendance of the prosecutor. MORETON-IN-TILE-MARSH STEEPLECHASES.—By an excel lent arrangement, these chases have been fixed for the 20th of February, the day following the Pershore Hunt Meeting. , , f y . y r t o , i , 4 444 i LP II EIS MAJESTY. OSBORNE, Jan. 12. The Queen drove out in the grounds yesterday afternoon, accompanied by Princess Louise. Miss Van de Weycr had the honour of accom panying her Majesty. PRINCE AND PRINCESS CIIIUSTIAN.—On Satur day evening their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein and Prince Arthur (upon the conclusion of t eir visit to the Kirl and Countess of Derby at Knowsley) returned to Windsor by the Great Western Railway and proceeded to Proginore-house. THE ROYAL FAMILY.—The Princess Mary of Carnbridg! and Prince Teck are expected to visit Stockton to-day ou their way to Wyuyard-park, the seat of Earl Vane. The Town Council will receive their royal high nesses on their arrival. The Countess Delawarr has considerably im proved in health of late. Count Maffei has returned to town from visiting Viscount and Viscountess Holmesdalo at Linton Park, near Staplehurst. Lord and Lady Wharncliffe and Lady Maud Lascelles closed their visit to the Earl and Countess of Derby at Knowsley on Saturday, and went to Wortley Hall, Yorkshire. His Excellency the Prussian Ambassador and the Countess Bernstorff and the Countess Therese Bern storff have returned to the Prussian Embassy on Carlton house-terrace, from visiting Viscount and Viscountess Holmesdale at Linton Park. The Earl and Countess Vane left the Earl and Countess of Derby's seat, Knowsley, on Saturday, for Wynyard Park, near Stockton-on-Tees. THE NEW MINISTER TO THE UNITED STATES.— His Excellency Edward Thornton, C. 8., the New British Minister to the United States, as successor to the late Sir Frederick Bruce, sailed from Liverpool on Saturday, in thy) Cunard mail steamer Siberia. Mr. Thornton was ac companied by but one servant, as his family stay in Eng land at present. TILE CAPE MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, Sunday. The Union Steam Shipping Company's mail steamer Cambrian, with the above mail, arrived here to-day. She brings the usual complement of passengers, and a full cargo of general merchan dise. The Cambrian left Table Bay, Nov. 27, Cape Town Dec. 5, and St. Helena on the 15th. The Cape Argus says :—" Our anticipations of a fine harvest have been somewhat dashed by the up countrj news: The south-easter which blew in Cape Town with a violence rarely experienced even in this stormy peninsula, extended up-country and did great damage to roads, bridges, and, worst of all, to the crops." The following account of the storm is from the local papers :—" On Tuesday last there was a stiff south-easter on in the bay, and in the course of the day and during the night a good deal of rain fell. Next day the rain and sea showed no signs of abate ment. But what had happened up to this time was as nothing to what was to follow. The leaden aspect of the sky all around betokened a storm of a yet more violent character ; but from what point of the compass it would come to no one could tell. But that it would come seemed inevitable, and what could be done in the way of clearing drains and making all secure was done, not only by the muni cipality people, but by all who had property to pro tect. Towards evening the wind veered more to the south-west, and moaned in fitful gusts, as if impatient of restraint. The rain, which came gently at first, increased by degrees, until it fell down in sheets. Presently the lightning began to flash in vivid sheets, and the distant rumbling of thunder, mingling with the roar of breakers on the shore, was enough to make the stoutest heart shudder. As midnight approached the thunder and lightning ceased, but still that dismal hollow roar upon the beach was heard, mingling with the rush ing, shrieking, howling storm, in fearful chorus. At this time anxiety for the safety of the shipping was intense. Out at the South end, and more particularly in Rudolph-street, the storm was playing fearful havoc. The rushing waters came on as a mighty torrent from the rising ground beyond, an I carried away palings, &c., and then, gathering force, ripped up the road, and drove the sand, of which it was composed, before it on its onward course to the sea. The tramway bridge, erected by the Harbour Board, at the foot of this street, was also carried away by the fury of the storm, while the bridge which spans Banker's River lost its southern buttress, and may be said to be in a shaky condition. The beach speaks with terrific eloquence of the roughness of the storm. As we have said, the large craft rode it bravely out, thanks to Providence, their cables, and the stout holding ground of the Bay. But a number of small craft sunk at their moorings within the break water, having been actually swamped by the force of the rain. Out at the fishery the flood was im mense. The Sharks' dam was partly broken, and Lippert's dam was carried away, while the house near it was stove in. The machinery, we are glad to say, is not damaged past repair. How the troops which are stationed there got on we have not heard, but they must have passed a most unpleasant night. The damage to the roads and house property here is estimated at from £25,000 to £30,000, while the injury to the crops in the district, it is feared, will be something distressing. In connec- tion with the storm, we regret to say that the news was received here on Wednesday that the Imogene had been wrecked on East London. It is some satisfaction to know that there were no lives lost. In concluding our report of the disasters oc casioned by the late flood of waters, we must say that we have probably recorded only a tithe of the disaster and suffering occasioned thereby. This must necessarily be the case owing to the difficulty of getting at accurate information. There can be little doubt but that the whole of the population have been sufferers to a less or greatest extent." Her Majesty's transport-ship Queen of the South ~ailed from Simon's Bay on the 22d Novem ber for Aden. Her Majesty's steamer Petrel arrived in Simon's Bay on the 22d Nov. The French steam gunboat Aspic, from Cher bourg, bound for China, put into Simon's Bay on the 24th Nov. for coals. The Russian ship Arno, from Swansea, arrived on the 24th. She reports having spoken, on the 13th Nov., the ship itotley, from Leith, bound to Mel bourne, 65 days out. THE REV. DR. JELF.—Mr. Henry Worms, honorary fellow of King's College, and captain of the King's College Rifle Volunteers, has originated a sub scription among the students of the college for a testi monial to the Rev. Dr. Jelf on the occasion of his resigna tion of the post of principal. WAR AND ITS INFLUENCES UPON THE POPULA TION.— We are really not surprised that the French Cham ber became alarmed at the prospective effect which Mar shal Niel's proposals for reorganising the French army might have on the progress of population. The amendment allowing soldiers to marry after the sixth year of service was carried by an enormous majority, spite of the Marshal's strenuous resistance. Marshal Niel would absorb a very large section of the manhood of France into the army, and compel it to forego all thoughts of marriage for many years. As medical men, we venture to say this would be a suicidal measure. It may be an amusing piece of banter to urge that the women of France ought to be con tented with hu,bands drawn from the army rejections the halt, the lame, and the blind ; and to add that a squint or a clubfoot is no bar to a man's becoming a husband, but a decided obstacle to his ever making a soldier. But this doesn't touch the root of the matter, which involves a pro blein of a physiological character; and it is this, that, had the Marshal's proposal been adopted, a diminished and degenerate population must succeed the present genera tion. And if France is to maintain her present great military position she cannot afford this. At the close of the great wars under the First Napoleon the strongest and healthiest part of the race of young men in France were well-nigh exhausted, and the rejections from military ser vice formed the staple of her male population. Doctors and physiologists know full well that to possess an enor mous standing army, with stringent restrictions as to mar riage, is to draw a bill on the future population—to say* nothing of the vast increase of disease and immorality di rectly traceable to the same source.—The Lancet, MON !
