For this anomalous state ;if things there is an effective and simple n remedy ; that is to say, Instead of covering, by one weekly or at payment, two or more contingent or deferred benefits, so to arrange it that each separate benefit should have its separate cor.tribution. It is to not having observed this rule, and to the association of two dissimilar functions, and by confounding a sick allowance and an annuity fund in one and the sell--same payment, that much of the cells and mismanagement has arisen amongst Benefit Societies. Ns mechanism can be so perfect for the management ot a sick ctta'finld provision as that afforded by the constant sec tional ass°. th l: l l °n and wat c hf u l ness of the seve ral members composing it. By am o nle nna a thorough and constant check is mutually exercised , a nd "Meth s - t hlit the really s i c k are lik e ly to become chargeable upon it. avn ev ha lame perfection, or the same security, is seldom attain able e e nd I l urid is to be accumulated through a succession of years, bolt t :wi:lore results are to out calculations money investment p c , r It general beyo n d the bear experience of the , industrious classes. ei e k nts ees e sshf r oo 7 od o ld n b s : it is clear that the lands destined for a provision in Provl s l soitg k e e , p_t entirely distinct from the fund intended as a e mtneet eutuse the laws ot sickness and mortality, though apparently 1 ,..,, ad • do not depend on the same calculation. l arger Use there are a great number who, in order to secure a ___tovision in old age are willing to take the risk of providing 4[Osible sickness on themselves. esrai n ae eause the responsibility of managing a provision for old age, With is a distant period is, in a great measure, incompatible • soo s i is ',T,nntarY associations , fluctuating laws, and indivdual irre sot, - nit/. and more exposed to a failure in the performance of orenatolltraet , that when undertaken on the same principles that • 4tii.l lY Mvern commercial tsodie , . a ut e s i t te 4 d u i ri ac anse the expenses of providing for sickness must, when t he same payment with provision for old age, tend to dimi imater the one this provision : nor is it wisdom or good policy to en. ant for the sake of the other.

On the meeting of the Committee, Mr. ANDREWS proceeded to reply for the promoters of the Bill, minutely going over the evidence on both sides. Ile submitted that no case had been made out for the rejection of the Bill. That a through connexion was required no one could deny; and though several schemes for the purpose had been from time to time proposed, they had all been given up as objectionable, and the present one was brought forward as containing the greatest number of advantages, with the fewest disadvantages. The damage to the Green would be very trifling, while a great sana tory improvement would be effected by the clearing away of the bad property which the construction of the line would necessitate. The room was then cleared, and after parties were admitted, The CHAIRMAN announced that the preamble of the Glasgow, Airdrie, and Monklands (Cowlairs Branch) was proved, while the Cowlairs and Central Junction Branch wad declared not proved.

TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the ROSIESMAN or BUSII T—IBE, from the interior of South Africa, a race that, from their wild habits, could never before he induced to visit a place of civilization. This opportunity of gratifying the man of science and the student in zoology bas only been ob.ained by great personal exertion on the part of the gentlemen who have brought them to England, at an immense outlay of capital. On the passage to Europe a baby was born at sea, thus adding to the great interest that must be excited by their appearance. From the Liverpool Journal : —"Bosjesmans, or Bush People, from Southern Africa—lnteresting specimens of a most extraordinary race of human ►eings have been lauded in our pert; the • are the Ilosjes mans, or Bush People from the Interior of South Africa, of which so math has been written by the i•missionaries, and the few who have travelled to that far distant region. They are natives of the country herlerng the Great Orange River, 1,200 or 1 400 riles from Cape Town. They exhibit almost as striking an absence of the intelle teal or higher faculties as is observable in the skull of that mockery of humanity, the Baboon, while the preponderance of the animal is al most equally as great. In every respect they are calculated to excite the greatest astonishment, and to confirm to the full those " Tales of Travellers" which we have certainly been inclined to look upon with suspicion. We could scarcely have credited that sun a race could be in existence on the earth. That they are genuine no one can doubt ; in proof of which we give the fodowing extract from a Cape Town Paper of the 24th December, which we have just re • ceived :—" We understand the brit Fanny, Captain Wheeler, which recently left Table Bay for Liverpool, had on board an unusual kind of exportation, viz., two males and two females of the genuine Bush man species; they are in charge ,•f a Mr. J. G. B Bishop, who has boen at considerable trouble and expense in procuring them from the interior. They are authentic specimens of this diminutive and ra pidly decreasing tribe of Aborigines, found only in Southern Africa. For particulars of the habits and disposition of the Bosjesmans, see Professor Leichtensteln's, Itarchell's, Campbell's, Backkouse's, Methune's, and aloffatt's Travels in South Africa. Admission One Shilling, and Reserved Seats Two Shillings and Sixpence.

Simpson, of London, brought to suction on Tuesday last, the 18th initant, st the Angel Inn, Pershore, an estate si nate at Birlingham, in the Vale of Evesham, in this county. The large roam was com pletely filled with a most respectable and opulent assem bly, and atter an appr opr i ate address f rom t h e au ctioneer, a very spirited co m p et i t i on ensued, a.:d the estate was knocked down at th e sum of 17,000 1 . to M r . William Fowler, land agent an d surveyor of Bi rm i ng ham, and the agent on this occa s i on fur R o b ert W oo d w ard, Esq., of Liverpool, who wa s t h e purc h aser. T o f or m an ade quate idea of the amount realised, we add the following description of the propel ty :—lt consists of a farm-house called Birlingham Uall, agricultural buildings, four te nements, and 196 acres of arable meadow and pasture land, tithe rent charge free. The timber to be valued. Also the tithe rent charges of other land commuted at 141. 12s. 3d. per annum. The rent charges and 66 acres of the estate are held under the Dean and Chapter of Westminster for 21 years from Lady-day, 1846, the remaining 130 acres are freehold. Mr. Clemens, the highly respected tenant on the estate, holds, under a tenancy from year to year, at a rent of 4501. per annum, in addition to the land-tax of 181. 16s. lid. We leave the public to judge, with the above parti culars before them, if there be any falling off in the value of landed property even at this momentous juncture, which includes a recent fall in the Government securities of ten per cent., and also a general derangement of the monied engagements of this country.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. FRIDAY NlGHT.—Notwithstanding that an immense number of men have been, ever since the fire occurred upon the Great Western Railway, actively engaged in repairing the bridge at Hanwell, they have, up to the present time, half-past eight P.M. Friday, been unable to replace the structure. By one o'clock yesterday morn iug the workmen, under the superintendence of Mr. Brunel, Mr. Seymour Clarke, and Mr. Sanders, had succeeded in forming a temporary viaduct, at least so far as the down line was concerned. To test its safety a heavily-laden goods train was passed over it without an engine, and being found sufficiently strong to bear the weight of that train, IN hich, it should be stated, was con siderably heavier than any ordinary train, it was pro nounced to be perfectly safe. The up line, however, is not yet repaired, but from the rapid progress that is being made, it is fully expected that it will be finished in time for the express train to pass over at eleven o'clock this forenoon (Saturday). An inquiry was yesterday made by the chief officer of the line, to learn if possible how the disaster occurred. The result still leaves the mat ter in doubt, it being considered most extraordinary that the fire should have obtained such a strong hold before discovered. Some idea of the fury of the flames may be formed from the fact of the heat being so intense that eight out of the ten iron girders that were supported by cast iron columns, on which the timber was laid, ex panded to such a degree as to snap asunder principally about the centre. They were also thrown oat of the perpendicular, and the stone-work into which they were fastened by molten lead was rent in twain. Some of the parties attribute the act to an incendiary, but the ma jority of the offieials are of opinion that it was caused solely by accident * , some hot cinders tailing from the engine of the train that left the Maidenhead station at 11.15 P.M. yesterday. They are also of opinion that wooden bridges or viaducts ought not to be allowed on the lines, and it is understood that all similar erections will be either replaced by iron or covered with a fire proof substance, so as to guard against a similar casualty. I'o some parties it may seem very remarkable that so long a time has been spent in repairing the structure; and it is, however, only necessary to state that the bridge' although only twenty-five feet by eighteen, was an ela borate piece of workman.hip, and was most peculiarly constructed; it was carried over the Uxbridge-road at a shsrp angle, and it then stretched over the cross ro a d. The value of the bridge was considerably more than was at first anticipated. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FRO)1 OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) THE PO FATO BLIGHT. We regret to have to state that tl►e blight has again appeared on the rotatoes in the Isle of Wight. The h.tal .put was first observed in the gardens round Newport on Thursday morning. This morning (Friday) the dew appeared like a black drop on the leaves of the potatoes at Westmill and in the neighbourhood of Carisbrook. It was in this part it was first observed in 1845, and it was not till nearly a month afterwards that it became general in other parts of England. The severe winter has induced persons to plant a much greater breadth of potatoes this year than they did last; indeed, even last year the grower was a gainer by the blight, it was the consumer was the sufferer. About one-third of the potatoes were spoiled by the blight—say one bushel oat of three. Had there been no blight, the three bushels would have sold for 4s. 6d.; in consequence of the blight, the two bushels sold for Bs. Wind and rain have at length left us, and summer set in in earnest. ELECTION MOVEMENTS. It has been some time doubted whether Mr. Willis Fleming was really serious in putting up for the Isle of Wight. It was thought he would merely sound the elec tors, and then withdraw, but all doubt is now removed. He has stated his determination to go to the poll as the " No-Popery" candidate. Mr. Simeon considers himself safe to win. Some call him a liberal Conservative, others a moderate Whig. He has the landed interest with him, and some of the Liberals; Mr. Fleming the clergy and the Wesleyans, the Liberals generally standing aloof. PROTEST AGAINST THE THIRD READING OF THE IRISH POOR BILL. DISSENTIENT. 1. Because every law giving to the destitute a claim to relief must of necessity have a tendency to induce amongst the objects of its care improvident habits ; and this tendency is increased in more than an equal ratio as the range of objects to which it applies is enlarged, and the nature of the relief extended. 2. Because the Irish people seem, either from natural constitution or from adventitious circumstances, pecu liarly prone to such habits ; and to them their present distress may, in my opinion, be mainly traced. 3. Because the tendency of this Bill, therefore, is in its result rather to increase than to diminish the proba bility of the recurrence of that distress. 4. Because it appears that there is in Ireland a great want of the machinery necessary for the proper adminis - tration of this law. 5. Because this Bill contemplates the necessity of giving outdoor relief, and it has been proved by ex perience in England, that it is very difficult to resist the pressure which is at times brought to bear against the checks imposed by law for securing the wholesome ad ministration of such relief', and because the experience of the working of the 9th and 10th Vic.. c. 107, in Ire land proves it to be probable that the difficulty there will be still greater ; and if those checks are once broken through, the total absorption of the property of the country, and the entire demoralization of the people, will be the necessary consequence. 6. Because this Bill, intended to effect a complete and lasting change in the habits and manners of the people or Ireland, avowedly an experiment, admitted by all to be a difficult, and characterised by some of its supporters as a doubtful and hazardous one, has been brought in and passed under the excitement of a grievous, accidental, and temporary calamity, which precludes its receiving that - calm and di•psssionate consideration which so important a measure demands. 7. Because it is notorious that the desire generally manifested for a Bill of this nature has had its origin in the inc >nvenience resulting from this accidental and temporary calamity, the consequent influx into England of destitute Irish families, and is suggested not so much by the hope that it will benefit the people of Ireland. as in the expectation, which I believe will turn out quite fallacious, that it will prevent the recurrence of similar inconvenience. 8. Because, therefore, I consider this Bill in itself ob _. jectionable - not calculated to ameliorate the condition of the people of Ireland, incapable of being satisfactorily administered, likely to be destructive to property and dan gerous to the independence of the poor in Ireland, intro duced and passed at an unfit time, and without due consideration. and though called for by the people of England, called for on erroneous grounds. RADNOR. MONTEAGLE of Brandon. For fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth reasons, FITZ WILLIAM. OTAHEITE. The whale-ship John Cockerill, Capt. Renouff, which arrived at Havre on the 19th, brings intelligence from Otaheite to the 7th February, at which date Queen Po mare had at length submitted to return from Raiateia, and resume the reins of government under French pro tection. It appears that the conditions offered by M. Bruat, stipulating that the powers of the Queen and the French Governor should be kept perfectly distinct —the former having authority solely over the natives , w hile the latter, under the title of Governor of the Whites, was to have full control over Europeans and all other strangers—had been repeatedly rejected by Pomare, who continued her resistance, hoping that the course of events, or the arrival of a now Governor, might enable her to make better terms. The military operations in December and January, which brought the entire island under French domination, had deprived the Queen of her native supporters, and she became more willing to listen to terms. After consolidating his occupation of the military posts taken from the insurgents, M. Bruat sent the steamer Phaeton to Raiateia, where Pomare had been cokfiued, with a renewal of his propositions, and the result was that the Queen returned with Captain Pradier on the 3d February, and took up her abode at Morea or Eymeo, a small i s land lyi ng a f ew m il es f rom Papeite, where she solicited an interview with the Go vernor, in order to regulate the formalities of her return to the seat of government. M. Bruat immediately waited upon her, and his first ant was to release her from all surveillance, and remained in consultation till the de parture of the John Cockerill, and that vessel has pro bably brought home the official dispatches. DETERMINED SUICIDE.--On Friday afternoon determined suicide was committed by a Mr. Jenkins, a surgical instrument maker, about thirty years of age, res►ding at No. 4, St. Margaret's-terrace, near Rochester row, Westminster. It appears that he had been con fined to bed by illness; his wife had gone to fetch the doctor,leaving him with a female attendant, whom be re quested to leave the room whilst he got out of bed. Some time elapsing, she entered the room, when he was dis covered lying on the floor, having cut his throat with a razor. A surgeon was sent for, but life was extinct before his arrival. It appeared that he had, before usit.g the razor, stabbed himself in the left side with a pair of scissors. A BENEVOLENT LANDLORD. --Lord Fitzwilliam, in addition to his immense outlay on labour, amounting to several (more than five) hundred pounds a month, for a considerable time past, on his Irish estate at Colattin Park, in the county of Wicklow, has purchased and given to every tenant seeds of ail descriptions re• (aired, including oats, barley, turnips, carrots, &c. his Lordship has also supplied the poor with soup of the best description, sending it to all the towns adjacent for distribution every week. NEW POTATOES. --A fine sample of early potatoes was shown last week at Darlington market, and sold at three shillings per quart, with a lively demand for more, even at this price. The producer was Mr. Thomas Stabler, market gardener, of llaughton•le-Skerne, near Darlington, a place remarkable for its early productive ness, for the salubrity and pleasantness of its climate, and its dry and slithered shuation.—Dwltam, Adverti,,yr, PRICE SD. STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL MARKET, MAN 21.—The demand for foreign wool continues limited ; prices being steady at late quotations. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, MAY 21.—We have not any change to notice in this market during the pre . sent week. Sales are very flat, and prices have a down ' ward tendency. LEEDS.—The transactions at our cloth halls, both on Saturday and Tuesday, were to a very small amount, the merchants purchasing only to positive orders. The foreign houses are also doing less than they were a few weeks ago. The manufacturers are complaining heavily of the state of trade, and are /still further curtailing the production. Prices remain about stationary. There have been a few buyers in the town during the week, but their purchases have been very light, and business is duller in the warehouses than was thecae a few weeks since. BRADFORD MARKET, TuunsDAy.—The sale of wool is about the same as last week. There is no improve ment, and a very small amount of business is being done at former prices. The staplers are unable readily to supply from the producers' stocks at what they are sell ing at. We can report no alteration in the yarn. market, which is steady. The export houses have re r trenched to some extent. There is no variation in prices. There was a decidedly better market to-day for pieces both for America and the Continent, than for the last fortnight ; but this is only comparative. Prices are stationary. - MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—There are now some indications that prices have seen their lowest point, as many buyers who have hitherto held off, in expectation of lower rates, have since Tuesday bought at the prices offered on that day. All parties seem con vinced that there is now no prospect of any permanent decline on the staple; hence a disposition to do business at present in both cloth and yarns at the rates of the day. A (large business is doing fur the United States. Our dyers continue miserably dull. LEICESTER. Business still continue in the same inanimate state as reported in our last. More , frames were laid down last week, and the ; number of hands out of employ are much greater. The want of facilities to convert bills into cash are as difficult as ever, and op,rates completely against employment. The further rise in the grain market mak, s any likelihood of a demand, for eitler g..ocis or labour, more remote than ever. There is nothing doing in yarns in the regular way ; spinners are turther curtailing their time. W oo l s are La, stapler- not being disposed to buy but for present demand.—Leicester Journa. BUSHIRE. The following interesting letter is from Bushire, dated the 2d of February. After describing the anxit-ty with which he looks tor the mail from Bagdad, the writer says— small cottage air cost s h r a m r e e built a t about 6oi fou ;l te a e m a going raiies out fro m to t a s his, b At first the King of Persia interdicted my building it, as he feared we should do as we did in India, fortify these small demesnes, and so get on by degrees. They had a most absurd report that we intended to cut a canal to, where these buildings are, and that I should thea bring the ships to them. I believe it was referred to Lord Aberdeen, who, through our envoy, convinced the Shah that it was simply a habitation of the smallest de scription to avoid the extreme heat of the sea coast in the hot season - ; the plan on which it is erected having the singular property of being very cool during the night and morning, and the wind blowing across the heated sands during the day, becomes so exceedingly dry and rarified, that by means of tattys, a sort of grass from India, called cuskuss, fitted in frames to the doors (the same being kept constantly wet), it is made artificially extremely cool and pleasant, so that the harder and hotter it blows the quicker the evaporation, and conse quently the cooler the inside of the mansion. I have not yet seen my. dwelling, but I understand from others, that it is a very nice one, larger than the resident's. I have had stained glass windows made for it, and have already secured a purchaser in my successor when I quit the command. I have a garden to it, for I believe a sailor would not give much for a house without one. I have had lots of seeds put in. Igo out for the first time this week, and intend passing a week or ten days there, for change of sir, and hope to get a little sport ing, as there_ are wild hog and antelope, and wild duck and teal, and the boburrah, a very game bird, between the bustard and florican, about half as large again as a pheasant. I have been purchasing a few more carpets in addition to those I have got in use, and I dare say you will be able to complete your drawing-room with these, as I have had an eye to its size, but it must be by side and end carpets ; this is the fashion of the country, and I do not think it looks ill. " I must now tell you that the winter here has been attended with much loss to the native craft or ship ping, many large boats having been lost from the severity of the weather, it bloating very hard from different quarters, and the sudden shifts of wind in a confined sea being very dangerous ; as vessels, to escape from' the danger of one wind, anchor so that when the wind shifts, which generally takes place in the night, they are thrown on the island or point of land from which with the other wind they had obtained shelter. I have just despatched the Elphinstone, one of the sloops of my squadron, to the assistance of the Deriah Dowlet, "a Buglah (large boat) of some 400 tons, which report announced to have been wrecked about eight miles from this on a dangerous point s f a shoal, whither she had run in the night for shelter, I and before morning a sudden shift of wind to the northwest drove her on it, and it itt repotted that all but seven men are lost. Sne had, crew and passengers, 180 odd on board; but I do not listen to any reports until I get a letter from Captain Lowe, of tne Elphin stone. There is about 30,0001. of property in her, part of it treasure. I sent a diver in the Elphinstone, in the event of the money or cargo being recoverable ; a number of other boats have been lost ; this ought to prevent the merchants of this place from trusting their money in the native boats, our ships occasionally going down take a small quantity of treasure, lardy realising more than 100 E to the. captain, of which an eighth comes of right to me. Should the Elphinstone recover the property from the wreck of the Deriah Dowlet, a very large salvage would be awarded of which a sixteenth would come to me, but I am not over sanguine, and would a deal rather have saved a few of her crew or passengers. I have been reading a memoir of Major Rawlinson's on the Cuni form or arrow-headed character ; I think it one of the most curious works of modern times ; you must get it ; I have no doubt Richardson can procure it for you. Her Majesty has desired that it may be dedicated to herself, and offered the author knighthood, which be has, I understand, refused ; he has nearly mastered the language, and given a translation first in Latin and afterwards in English, of a long inscription cut on the face of a rock in Behistan, in .Persia, by the order of Darius, of the principal events of his reign, couched in very beautiful and scriptural-like style, and with all the brevity of the ancients; this has been a dead lan guage to the world these 2,000 years; the whole credit is not Major Rawlinson's, as many orientalists on the continent have busied themselves since the commence ment of this century, but the Major, who is a resident of Bagdad, has succeeded more pre-eminently than others from his knowledge of Sanscrit and other eastern languages, the same inscription being cut in two languages—the Medean and Cuniform. I had a letter from him the other day, in which he mentioned that he had made every preparation for receiving me at Kerman shah, about halfway between Bagda d and laps ban, and had stationed horses and men to assist me, a most liberal and kind arrangement for my comfort, had I gone down . from tbence to !this via Bagdad. I believe he is princely in his hospitality, and I almost feel vexed that I should have put him to so much trouble for nothing. I have yet a hankering after paintings. and have ordered four to be :painted by a Persian artist at Shiraz. I have already two, one by the artist (whom I have desired to paint me two more) exquisitely finished. I have furnished him with two sheets of copper, to paint another subject, flowers, fruit, and birds. These paintings I have not yet had heart to part with on a chance voyage, and so think of keeping them with me until I go myself to old England. My two horses here, that carried me up wards of 800 miles, up to Ispahan and back, without being sick or sorry one day on the journey, came down to the coast in excellent condition, are a good proof of the blood and bottom of the Arabian. I have had them now nearly two years, and shall most probably sell them to advantage in Bombay, as a great many horses have perished this season by shipwreck ; in the Deriah Dow let eighty horses were lost ; in another boat eighty three horses were drowned ; in another some sixty were lost ; so Bombay must be in a bad way for horseflesh, and the supply annually is not very great; I dare say my half-breds would fetch a high price, and win every thing on the course ; that, however, might or might not happen, don't alarm yourself; I am not going to try. My companions in my projected trip into s the country, are very busily getting themosfel the ve ready for sport; they are the young o ffi cers Euphrates, a ten-gun brig; yo u may depend upon I it they are right merry at the thought; am to have them three at a time, one set on at a time. My man Abbass has informed me he shall require twelve donkies to carry the necessaries I have three Persian servants, a cook, (Portuguese christian), and horsekeeper; they all require a d on k e y each, and one for my horse's clothes and necessaries. The Persian donkeys are famous, go at a good pace without trouble, and are a good size. I expect also two or three visitors.

Bausaptfir, MAY 18.—We 1 R that the state o f Gener4lpiagel's health continues to improve With so much rapidity, that he was able to rise the day before yesterday. The Municipal Council of Antwerp has toted an. other sum of 15,000 francs, in addition to the 60,000 francs already allowed for the distribution of bread tickets to the poor at reduced prices. Yesterday eight ships laden with wheat and rye arrived at Antwerp, and others were announced as being lower down the river. The police of Liege have just adopted a measure favourable to the consumers; they have fixed a pair of scales in the market-plac e to weigh the sacks of provissions.- This measure has already produced a good effect; most of the sacks weighed on the first day were found tote under the weight indicated by the dealers; they will be obliged to exercise more honesty in future, or they will be fined. PETERSBURG.—WhiIe most of the g overnments of the centre and south of the empi re enjoyed last veer a most productive harvest, many government s of the north west, as we now hear, were visited by as gre a t a scarcity, so that the more favoured districts of the empire were obliged to assist them. Thi s fail of the crops has fallen with such severity on East Siberia which was already afflicted by a total failure in 1844 and 1845. Unhappily the supplies were greatly im peded by the vast extent of the country, and the great distance from which the supplies must be brought. As early as March the supplies a ff orded to the peasants by the Crown began, the amount of the new crop pur chased for Siberia is estimated at much above 300,000 chetwerts. In fertile former years the Government of Irtiulsk alone supplied the whole north-east track of that • - country to and beyond the frontiers of China. Meantime we learn from Tilsit that the carriage of supplies from Russia to Prussia has begun, and now continues. The court-martial ordered on the 7th of April to be held on Lieutenant-General Trischatny and Dobruschin, who were imprisoned in the fortress of St. Petersburgh, and on some Colonels who had. committed delinquencies in matters relating to the service, was opened a few days ago. The Court was composed of some generals of the highest rank, and commenced its sitting after General Dobruschini, and the other persons accused, had arrived from the Caucasus: - The Court sits in the Imperial Winter Palace. The Emperor himself thought fit to be present at the opening of the Court. The seuteuce is looked for with much anxiety, and it is supposed that the Emperor will fully confirm it, but, after a short time, will mitigate it. KUMOTAN (IN THE ERZGEBIRGE OF BOHEMIA), MAT 11.—Thu prohibition of the exportation of corn. pulse, potatoes, and flair was announced yesterday by a letter of the President of the General Aug° Council, and excited the most joyful cessation here. The price ,of the measure • of corn at Ka inotain (nearly a hectolitre) fell at on c e f rom 28 florins to 20 if mins. During the last few weeks alone more Than 20,000 reeasurss of corn has passed through Kotnutaie, on their isk• S-xony, which • xcited the anger of our peasai.try in no small de gree. The military which had been stationed on the roads to protect their export ation of corn against the tneuntatneers, have now returned to ICotnotaiu. Oil the fart of bloomy, everything possible is done for th it Ssxon mountains, the inhabitants of which are very much e orsc off than the Austrians. On our side, after so long a winter, aunt so many privations, the di -tress, we are most thablirul to say, is at length abating, and all assumes a more favourable appearance. KONIGSBF.RG.—OR the s;h of May the sentence, in the first instance, was passed in the affair of Dr. Fulksoo's mixed marriage (Jews arid Christians). The tribunal declared the marriage to be null and void, and condemned the two parties to all the costs incurred. BAVARIA, AUGSBURG, MAY 18.—At our corn market, yesterday, there was a slight decline in the prices. From every part of Germany the reporis are most favourable respecting the appearance of the crops. The Nuremburg correspondent has letters from Pesth of the Bth of May, which say the mails from Hamburgh, Berlin, and Breslau, arrive here very rapidly sinee the opening of the railway, so that news from England and France is received sooner by this way than by Frankfort, Nuremburg, or Augsburgh.

The usual half-yearly public examination of the officers and gentlemen cadets studying at the Royal Mili tary College took place on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, the 18th, 19th, and 20th inst., before a colle giate board, at which were present Field-Marshal his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Lieutenant- General Sir G.

Tne adjourned inquest on the bodies of eight of the sufferers was resumed at the Unicorn Inn, Beeston, before Mr. Blackburn, coroner for the borough of Leeds, on Thursday last. Mr. Reuben Booth, (,f Wakefield, stated—l am under ground steward in Mr. Benjamin Burnley's colliery-, at Methley - , and hare been fourteen years engaged in that occupation. lam well acquainted with the working of mines.

The witness hero produced and explained a plan by which he said the ventilation of the mine might be much improved. The plan he recommended was to have two currents of fresh air instead of une. James Thomas, coal-miner, in the service of 11es Tottie and Gaunt, stated that he agre e d w ith thela rs ; witness in most of what he had stated.

He had had one son work ing at Messrs. Harding and Co.'s pit, but he should go no more until the pit was altered.
