SECOND EDITION. NORTHERN TIMES OFFICE, WEDNESDAY, 9 A.M. THE WAR IN ITALY. ADVANCE OF THE FRENCH. The Morning Post publishes the following des- Patch, d a t e d P ar i s , Tuesday night :-" On the 12 th, the Emperor removed his head - q uarters to Gorgonzola.

The Herald, in publishing the Berlin telegram, 4 ,Y 8 six Prussian corps d'armee are mobilised. This , 5 course, means war. The advent of Lord Palmer t‘,().ll to power has evidently induced Prussia to take decisive step, and to join Austria in the struggle , Pint France. The English people will now per 4ye the truth of what we have before asserted , t hat t .,(1 Derby's Government alone preserved Eu ro p e '"ta a general war. THE NEW MINISTRY. i, The Post says the formation of t he new cabinet p4 Preceeding rapidly and in the most sat isfactor y lazier and it hopes to-morrow to complete the kbi• leation of the ministerial arrangements. The 4 4 1 4 4 Dertiser believes that, "after Lord John Russell m c l accepted the office of Foreign Secretary, any offered in the cabinet which he might pre fer was h "ered to Sir James Graham. The Ri g ht. Hon. lrenet however, declined to accept any office, on :ount of the infirm state of his health , but assured rd Palmerston that he -would cordially support tie new ministry. The papers abstain from pub ting the rumours commonly current durin g a N. C l histerial interregum. The Advertiser sa y s that rd P a l me rston stated last night, to some priva te r teads, that his arrangements are so far completed at he hopes to be able to go down to Windsor to 4 stle this (Wednesday) evening, to submit the list 41 her Majesty ; or, if not this evening, morrow sr aing before her Majesty leaves for Ascot. -m abundance of ammunition and provisions. It seems doubt ful whether the Austrians will risk an action on the Adda. It looks more as if General Hess, having taken the com mand, intended carrying out the plan he is believed originally to have advocated, and retiring to the fortresseS and the line of the Afincio. The allied army is reported to be continuing its advance. A Milan paper thus continues the particulars of the passage of the Austrians through Milan, after the battle of Magenta : "The troops entered by the Porta Vercellina, bivouacked in the Piazza Castello, and, after brief repose, provisions being supplied, they went out through the Tosa gate by the Triviglio Railroad, and through the Roman gate on the post road to Melegnano. The passage was continued and incessant. In the brief interval the guns of the citadel and of the forts of Porta Tosa had been spiked. All the baggage easy of transportation was placed on carts ; but the citadel, at nine o'clock, when the people entered it in confusion with flying parties of Austrians, offered copious spoils of arms, military effects and implements, flour and rice, and even chests of coined money were discovered ready for the pay of the garrison. Part of this was plundered; part was saved by honest citizens, and delivered up to the munici pality. But this - pillage proved perilous ; the most audacious, falling in with parties of soldiers who were rejoining the retiring masses, were attacked by them, and it is fortunate that we have to reckon only three or four victims of an incessant imprudence. "Up to ii a.m., in the interior of the city and towards the Tosa and Roman gates, the Austrian battalions and artil lery filed through the streets, already adorned with tri• coloured flags, amidst the shouts of the exniting populace, which gave them a clamorous dismissal. It is only just to ' say that this armed multitude, on their departure, conducted themselves with discipline and decency. Towards mid• day some acts of violence of the people„ who began to assemble and arm, occurred near the barriers at the various points of departure of the troops, and not a few isolated soldiers were disarmed and made prisoners, and many carts were captured. The soldiers were all treated with the utmost humanity. All the public offices, those of the Lieutenant- Governor, of the Director of Police. &c., had been emptied and and abandoned at daybreak. The Austrian chief sub bordinates left with the troops ; the others escaped or con cealed themselves. The Municipality had been up all night ; to its courageous efforts we owe the conservation of the corps of the 82 firemen, whom the Austrians wished to take away with them. The first decree of the municipality was for the formation of a guard for public security ; but a few hours later the head-quarters of the National Guard was established in the Palazzo Marino. Towards evening FRANCE. • it was constituted, and had received a primary organisatiOn.

M. Berryer and M. Dufaure declined receiving any remuneration for the professional services they rendered to their distinguished client, probably on the ground that, in defending him, they once more defended the liberty of the press and of the subkcf— a labour of love, with which, in other times, they were familiar. M. de Montalembert, appreciating the delicacy of their conduct, and the value of their services on that occasion, ordered two statues in silver to be made ; one of Demosthenes, copied on a small scale from the statue in the museum of the Vatican ; the other of Aristides, on the model of that in the Museo Borbonico, at Naples. The statue of Demosthenes is presented to M. Berryer ; that of Aristides, to M. Dufaure. The War and Marine Departments have made every arrangement for providing for the wounded of the army of Italy. After being treated on the field of battle they are, as soon as their state shall permit, to be removed to the numerous hospitals established in the principal towns of Piedmont. When they have gained more strength" they are to be taken to Genoa and embarked for France. Two steam frigates, the Ulloa, and the Eldorado, a steam corvette the Gregeois, and a steam advice the Meteore, have been fitted up as hos pitals, and are to be constantly engaged in going to and fro between Genoa . and France. A battalion of the Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard has just loft Paris for the theatre 'of war ; and two divisions of the army of Lyons are also making preparations for leaving. THE STATE OF PIEDMONT. TURIN, June 11.—The most recent news 'from Lombardy ms • the •retreat of the Austrians behind the Adda, vacuating Pavia, Tqacerizd, and Lodi, and destroying the bridge at the last named place. Garibaldi reached Bergamo on the Bth, and is said to have had a successful brush with a small body of Austrians. At Melegnano Marshal Bara guey d'llilliers took a gun and 1,000 prisoners; the Ist Zouaves and the 33rd of the lirle suffering considerably, and the Colonel of the former corps being' among the slain, besides 50 officers and 800 soldiers hors dc combat. This is a very large proportion of officers. In the citadel of Milan, according:to the bulletin, were found 41 brass guns and an CANADA. ARRIVAL OF THE NORTH AMERICAN The screw-steamer North American, Captain Aiton, arrived here last night, with Quebec dates to the - 4th inst., and about 120 passengers. The North American made the run from Quebec to Liverpool in about . 10 days. The news to hand is not of much interest or importance. The Toronto Leader advocates the strengthening of the Upper Canadian section of the Ministry by such a recon struction of the Cabinet as would ensure a . parliamentary majority from both Upper and Lower Canada; considers that there is no difficulty in effecting this, and hints that it it will be accomplished by the aid' of some of Mr. Ex- Premier Brown's revolted adherents. Colonel Munro, C. 8., becomes Commander of the Forces in Canada, in consequence of the departure of Sir W. Eyre, and Major Currie takes command temporarily of the 39th Regiment. In accordance with instructions received from the Horse Guards, officers commanding corps in Canada may enlist recruits there now. The Montreal Gazette, of the 2nd inst., says : The Honorable Charles Mondelet, Justice of the Superior Court, took his seat yesterday in the Court of Appeals as assistant judge, named to supply the place of his Honour Mr. Justice Caron, acting as commissioner to codify the laws. A rumour is current at the bar, among parties likely to be well informed, that S. Cornwallis Monk, Esq., Q.C. is about to be appointed a Justice of the Superior Court, Mr. Monk's abilities, learning, and standing at the bar, eminently qualify him for the post. and we believe, the appointment, if made, will meet with the approbation of the bar generally. The Legislature of Prince Edward Island was prorouged on the 19th May, when his Excellency, the Hon. D. Daly, who is on the eve of his departure from the colony, took leave of the members in the following words : In bidding you adieu, IferVently trast that the favour of Divine Providence. which has been so signally manifested towards this island, may be ever ,continued to it, and conduct its inhabitants to the condition of prosperity and improvement which is ever attainable by the united and harmonious cultivation of such capabilities as are possessed by Prince Edward Island. Farewell ! COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Qui €c, Saturday, June 4 ASHES are somewhat lower, indeed the quantity offering on our market is so small that there is little inducement for attention to that part of business. PRODUCE: As anticipated in; and subsequent to date of our last, prices particularly of flour declined materially--- the week's business in this branch has been meagre indeed, and our quotations are to-day's rates, influenced of course by the news per steamer America, three days' later from Liverpool, bringing advices of a general downward tendency. . Pnovisrows: Mess pork is easier. We also quote prime mess and prime lower; likewise beef, the usual demand for ships' stores does not seem to exist. Co .Ls : The arrivals have not been large, on consign ment, and prices are slightly firmer, at a small advance. SALT : Sales have been made to arrive at our prices Einsmuss in a general point of view continues dull ; shipments to the lower provinces are very light, and the high prices, combined with a want of circulation, restricts our local buyers. MONTREAL, Thursday Evening, Stine 2 There has been a soaking rain since our last, which has done immense good to vegetation, and the weather is again bright. The accounts from all quarters respecting the appearance of the crops continue very favourable. The hay crop in this vicinity will undoubtedly be good. FLOUR. &c.: There has been great stagnation in the flour trade. Good Upper Canada brands are held at $7 for super fine ; fancy, $7 25c ; and extra $7 50c to $8 50c. according to quality, but there are no sales except at retail for con sumption. The lower grades are not active. The price of oatmeal is nominal there being no sales of any consequence. Grain is also very dull, and little doing. The only kind of food shipping to Britain is peas, and which bring $1 to $1 10c per minot. PROVISIONS : Pork is again very dull, and several sales have been made to dealers at the following rates : —Mess, $l9; prime Mess, $l6 to $l6 25c; prime $l4 to $l4 50c. Beef is also dull—prime Mess may be quoted at $l4 to $l4 50c, and prime at $9 to $9 50c. Bacon, shoulders, and hams are very difficult of sale. Lard is 124 c to 13c. Burma is brought in freely by farmers, and fresh in rolls is selling on the market at 10d, and even lower. This brings down the price of packed butter, for which' it would be difficult to make a quotation, there being no considerable transactions. Very choice might bring. 10d to Ild. Wool, is beminning to come in, and is worth is 8 d to is 9 d per lb., for that which is clean and of fair (panty. It -is likely that the demand from Canadian manufacturers will be quite equal to the supply raised in Canada. As LIES continue to arrive freely, and since our last Pots have declined about 5 cents, and Pearls about 15 cents. The current prices of to-day are Pots, $6 25c ; Pearls, $6 50c. FREIGHTS : The greater part of the vessels which have come to Montreal, have to return to Quebec to load timber or deals. There is in fact nothing for them here but ashes and a few peas, and the rates of freight continue low. EXCHANGE has an upward tendency, but the bank is still selling at 11 per cent. There is rather more demand for money. . PASSENGERS PER (8.8.) NORTH AMERICAN, FROM QUEBEC TO LIVERPOOL.—GeneraI Ord, Miss Ord, Mr Wyndham and lady. Mr J: D. Merridith, Mrs T.

LOVE.—It is a singular fact that two of the most vigorous writers of the English language appear to be in total ignorance of all the feelings which take their rise from the passion of love. We know of no single line that has fallen from the pen of Swift, or from that of LeTcl Macaulay, which indicates any sympathy with that passion which, in the greater number of minds, affords the most powerful of all motives.--" Lord Macaulay qua MarkopPik in Mack , wood, THE NORTHERN TIMES, WEDNES*I)A_Y, JUNE 15 1859 THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS. POLITICAL MOVEMENTS The Earl of Shaftesbury 'was again in attendance upon Lord Palmerston yesterday morning, and communicated on his lordship's behalf with several gentlemen, who will, in all probability, be connected with the new Ministry. The Marquis of Lansdowne had an interview with Lord Palmerston, and: was shortly afterwards joined by Mr. Sidney Herbert and Lord Granville. It is now said that Mr. Sidney Herbert will, in all probability, be the Minister at War under the new government. The Earl of Carlisle had an interview with Lord Pal merston at Cambridge House, and remained in consultation with him upwards of au hour. Lord Broughton had an interview with Lord Palmerston. There is a rumour at the clubs that his lordship is to have a seat in the Cabinet without office. Sir Charles 'Wood, it is thought, will succeed Lord Stanley as Secretary of State for India. The Earl of Ripon had a lengthened interview with Lord John Russell at Chesham-place. Sir George Grey had an interview with Lord Palmerston. The right hon. baronet is expected to resume his old duties as Home Secretary. Mr. Milner Gibson had an interview with Lord John Russell at Chesham-place, and in company with the noble lord ealled upon Lord Palmerston at Cambridge House. Mr. Bright has not been seen either at Lord Palmerston's or at Lord John Russell's, and the probability is that he will not be Secretary of. State for the Colonies, an office which his Manchester friends so ardently desired for him.— Herald. . • • _ _ We believe we may report with confidence that" the formation of the new cabinet approaches completion safely and satisfactorily. The list is not yet in is condition to be submitted to her Majesty, but in addition to the announce ment that Lord John Russell will be Minister for Foreign , Affairs, we may mention as strong probabilities that Mr. Gladstone will be the new Secretary of State for India, that Mr. Sidney Herbert will be War Minister, and that Sir Charles Wood will again head the Admiralty department. Lord Palmerston has met everywhere with gratifying assistance, and a spirit of self-denial has been manifested, which is highly honourable to those concerned. Personal claims have been spontaneonsly waived in order that the best arrangements may be carried out to give strength and public confidence to the' new administration. Sir James Graham does not accept office, which, in an administrative point of view, is undoubtedly to be regretted, but he will cordially support the new ministry. The Duke of Argyll and Mr. Labouchere both'express their wish not to be allowed to stand in the way of appointments likely to give a wider basis to the government, as representing the great body of the Liberal party. The difficulties may now be considered as over, and before the day on which the new writs can be issued, every arrangement will be completed for giving to the country an Administration from which it may antici pate reform and efficiency at home, and a prudent and dignified policy abroad.—Globe. THE NEW MINISTRY. The following is stated—though we give it with all reserve—to be the probable distribution of the principal offices of the new administration : First Lord of the Treasury Lord Chancellor Lord Privy Seal Lord Palmerston Sir R. Bethell. Earl Granville, Foreign Office Chancellor of the Exchequer Home Office Colonies ........ First Lord of the Admiralty Lord John Russell. Mr. Gltzdstone. Mr Milner Gibson Lord Elgin.

Russell taking part in the new administration, and going to the City for re-election ; a strenuous opposition will be made by the Conservatives to prevent his return. The candidate pitched upon to bring forward in the Conservative interest is Mr. Stuart Wortley, the rejected of the West Riding, and as this gentleman filled the office of Recorder of the City of London prior to his appointment as Solicitor-General under Lord Palmerston's former administration, it is thought that his chances of success will be greater than those of any other available: candidate under present circumstances. Whether the right hon. gentleman will really be brought forward is, of course, a matter of some uncertainty; but there can be no doubt as to the fact that the chances of success are now being nicely weighed among the leading electioneering Conservatives of the City, who bear small love either towards a• Palmerston or a Russell administration, and would be glad to set off their defeat in the House of Commons against the rej of Lord John by the City constituency.—Express. eetion Tun Impoar or ENGLISH Booxs rwro Cmokan..—The recent proceeding of the Canadian Legislature in taxing the import of Eaglish books is taken withunaccountable apathy by our press. It may he thought a, publishers' and book sellers' question merely, and not worth words about. It certainly is a matter interesting, to, publishers, curtailing, as it clops, our demands from the. Canadian provinces at least one-half, and threatening to deprive us of the market.‘. altogether. But if it affects publishers, it does so the best interests of literatUre, and, as. it seems. to us, involves also a great question of right of a colony to thus injure home trade. It is no light matter that, as publishers, we find ourselves deprived, without auy warning, of a market for our books to an extent of at least £4,040 a year, a market that was yearly improving, and one that we naturally regarded as to be depended upon. We use the word deprived, for the imposition oomplamed of has that effect. The impost is not one for the benefit of the colonial revenue, or we might bear it ; it is not merely a hindrance and restriction to our export trade, but in a great part it amounts to a prohibition, causing to be substituted for the regular demand a supply of cheap reprints from the adjoin ing States. The measure greatly aggravates the injustice hitherto suffered by English authors from the admission of reprints into Canada ; for whilst books under this objectionable tariff will have to pay 10 per cent, United States pamphlets and magazines are admitted free, offering facilities, not to the most respectable and desirable of the United States reprints, which now, we are glad to acknow ledge, mostly yield some little benefit to the E n g lish author, but to i the cheapest and meanest kinds of reprints issued by American houses who avoid paying the author anything. It will actually promote rival reprints of this class. In short, the tariff in question would appear ingeniously. con. meted by an enemy so as to benefit no one, , only setting a bad example to the English colonies to prevent the &nglish export of English books. - Pubkhori, FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON TUN EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW - RAILWAY. • (From the Glasgow Bulletin.) This (Tuesday) forenoon a lamentable accident occurred on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, by which a stoker was killed, and an engine-driver and several passengers or less injured. It appears that the 825 express from Glasgow, when about a mile and a half on this side of Greenhill Junction; ran off the rails, crossed over those on the down side and , fell over the embankment; carrying the telegraph wires along with it. Only the barest account of the accident has reached town, but the death of the stoker at least has been ascertained ----.0 .- '" LOSS OF H.M.S. HERON. We are favoured by the Secretary of the Admiralty with the following report of this unfortunate occurrence (Copy.) REPORT OP MR. R. MINDRY, GUNNED H.M.S. Victory, Portsmouth, June 10, 1859 Sir, —Being the only surviving officer from the wreck of her Majesty's brig Heron, I have the honour to report, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, my proceedings immediately before the wreck, and until my arrival on board this ship.

The - inquest was held on Monday afternoon at the Stone Cross Inn, before Mr. G. 11. Hinchliffe, coroner. Mr. Watson r solicitor, appeared to watch the case on behalf o the murderer, who was present in castody. The first witness was Win. Partoun, the milkman, who lived near the Old House at Homo, at Tame Bridge-cottage. Ho deposed that as he drew near the house, at about 8 o'clock on Saturdaymorning, he heard a noise as of one person beat ing another with a stick. - At the door he overheard the deceased say, " I would rather do the work myself than she should stay." When be got into. the house he saw the servant girl in the back kitchen, the deceased and n. lie we the prisoner being in the kite,— . ,iicering the house when he saw - the deceased running out of it, with a child in her arms, and bleeding profusely from the throat, through which -he saw that a knife had been thrust. I t was a large knife, and was driven into her throat from the left side, and was up to the hilt within about two inches. Did not perc3ive the point at the other side of the throat. Prisoner followed the deceased out., and the ,next thing witness perceived was prisoner carrying her in and laying her upon the settle, and th en ge tti ng a napkin and attempting to stop the blood. Prisoner seemed much distressed, and delay had been manifested in sending for alter some 1, said, Will nobody go for a doctor ?" Wit wss heard the servant say to the prisoner, •"I told you _t would come to something some day." Prisoner replied either " I did not mean to hurt you," or " I did not mean to do it." Sarah Ann Griffith, the servant., deposed that on the morning in question. the quarrel of the previous day was resumed by deceased telling .prisoner that he must get his breakfast as she had got hers the previous day. Afterwards prisoner flogged her with a whip. Subsequently she said, that this was the first time that he had beaten her, and it should be th'e' last, and seemed, about to leave the house. Deceased pas , ed through the hack kitchen, but returned with the baby in one hand and shaking the fist of her other hand, and went into the kitchen. Witness did not see 1, but saw the prisonertrvinm to stop the a surg cries jn flowing .of the blood. Deceased was, very provoking in her manner on Saturday, as on Friday. Mr. W. Kite, surgeon, .deposed that after a post-mortem examination of the body, he had come to the conclusion that death had arisen, first, from loss of blood, and next from suffocation, whidt had been occasioned by the wound in the throat, s punctured wound, extending from the left to the right side, and meeting in the middle...

Twenty-three men and-my whale boat After being in the boat about four minutes I saw a white speck on the water making towards us, I then gave o;ders to . keep every one off the boat, as she was already overcrowded. When the. white speck was within a few feet of the boat, I found by the voice that it was the captain, and instantly took him in ; the weather at this time was very dark, and raining heavily. The captain was so much exhausted that I kept charge of the boat for abOut forty minutes, when he, being partially recovered, and his wounds bound up, took charge. When daylight appeared we found the boat's crutches, and commenced pul ling, keeping head to sea. After about an hour John Waldren, ordinary, said he saw a sail ahead which was not visible to any but we all saw her about a quarter of an hour afterwards, 'and reached her at two p.m. We were then taken on board the Irlam, a barque of Liverpool, from one els Calabar to Sierro Leone, where we arrived at noon on the 16th. Captain Truscott went on board her Majesty's ship Trident, an • d reported himself; the Trident's cutter then took us out of the barque. On the 19th May we went on board the Ethiorre, African mail steamer, for passage to Liverpool. On the 29th May, James Kettle, private Royal Marines, died; on the 30th, Mr. George Haydon, boat swain, died; and on the 3rd of June, Captain Truscott died, all of whom were buried at sea. We arrived at Liverpool at 6 p.m. on the 9th, when Commander Gold finch forwarded us on by rail to this ship. APPREHENDED. DESTRUCTION OP A. NEW CHURCH NEAR MALTON —About twelve months ago, a very fine early Eng lish church was opened for worship, which had been built at a great cost, to replace an old Norman structure which had gone to decay. During the erection of the new b uildin g , a high wind blew down the whole of the west end and the tower, destroying the ancient bells. It is now found neces sary to suspend public worship, owing to the walls of the nave showing large defects, and which are, in fact, being pushed outward by the timbers of the roof. The church contains many valuable painted windows. It is feared the destruction a the building is inevitable. A parish meeting have decided to refer the matter to the judgment of a com- petent architect. —Manchester Examiner. THE RIFLE AND THE BAYONET. The ifoniteur de l' Armee lately had the followity , : —" The Emperor Napo leon said, in his proclamation, 'The new rifle arms are only dangerous at a distance ; they will not prevent the bayonet from being, as heretofore, the terrible arm of the French infantry.' The bayonet is in fact an arm peculiarly French. It was invented, it is said, at Bayonne, 1641, and employed in 1670 in the regiment of the King's Fusileers. It sensibly modified the system of military art in Europe, as it made cavalry less redoubtable to infantry. and caused the fire of lines of battle to cease to be regarded as the principal meani of action. The bayonet has, in fact, become the decisive arm of combat. According to a local tradition, it was in a small hamlet in the environs of Bayonne that this arm was invented. What led to the invention of it was, that in a fierce combat between some Basque peasants and some Spanish smugglers, the former having exhausted their am munition, and being thereby at a disadvantage, fastened their long knives to their muskets, and by means of the weapons so formed soon put their enemies to flight: This arm was soon in general' use in Ewrope. After the. King's regiment, several others were provided with the bayonet ; but the socket, which makes the use of it so easy,.was not invented until a later period. An unsuccessful extperinaent with the socket was made before Louis XIV., in 1688, but the first battle at which the bayonet was seriously employed was at that of Turin, in 1692•; but it was not, until the battle of Spires, in 1703, that the first 'charge!' with the bayonet was executed. After that epoch, up to. 1792, the bayonet was oftememployed in combat, and the• Prince de Ligne called it peculiarly - French arm,' owing to the manner in wbieli, our soldiers used it ; bat the real value of it was not revealed until the wars of national indepen dence. Then) the bayonet really became- a- French arm. The 'bullet is. wild,' said Suwaroff, 'but,,the bayonet is prudent and,sure ' " HOW TO SECURE WEDDED IlAprlNssa.—ll we marry our happiness must consist in loving. one another; 'tis principally my concern to think of the mostprobable method of making t that love eternal. You object against living in London;: I am not fond of it myself, and readily give it up to you, though I am assured there needs.more art to keep a fondness: alive in solitude, where it generally preys upon itself. There is one article absolutelyneeeseary— to be ever beloved' one must be ever agreeable. There is no such thing as being agreeable without a thorough good humotr, a nature sweetness of temper, enlightened by cheerfulness. Whatever natural funds of gaiety one is born witVtis necessary to be entertained with, agreeable objects. Any body capable of tasting pleasure when they confine.-them selves to one place should: take care 'tis the ploee in the world most agreeable. Whatever you may now think (now, perhaps, you have. some fondness for me),, though your love should contiwe in its full force, there are hours when the most beloved mistress would be troublesome. People are not for ever- (nor is.it in human nature that they should be disposed to, be fond ; you would be glad to find in me the friend and companion. To be agreeably the last it is necessary to be gay awl, entertaining. A. perpetual solitude, in a place where you see nothing to raise your spirits, at length wears them out, and conversation insensibly falls into dull and insipid. When I have nn more to say to you, you will like me no longer. How dreadful is that view You will reflect for my sake that you haze abandoned the conversation of a friend that you liked, and, your situation in a country where all things would have contributed to make your life pass in (the true voksute) a smooth, tran quility.

Sir,—Will you be kind enough to insert the following letter in your valuable paper : The Toxteth Park Board of Guardians will, I believe, shortly app .int persons, to fill the vacancies at present occurring in the New Workhouse, Smith down-lane. It is generally the rule, in cases of this sort, to advertise for employees, and. submit their testimonials, recommendations, &c., to the board for their decision, as to who have the appointments. It is currently reported, and I know it for a fact, that a gentleman who formerly held the office of Master in the West Derby Workhouse, and whose character is generally well known, has been inspect ing the Smithdown-lane Workhouse, and likewise has had several interviews with the Chairman, which means that he is to have the mastership of that establishment. Now, I protest against that sort of underhand proceeding, and wish to impress on the minds of the ratepayers, that unless-they are alive to these tricke— ries, the leading officer of their workhouse will be a man who enjoys little or no esteem of the public. By all means choose a competent person, but let that choosing be conducted "above board;" and give every man who applies a fair and impartial hearing, &c. I am, sir, yours respectfully, A RAIEPATER.

In the course of a discussion in :he Chamber of Deputies,_ in February last. the minister of public works;, M. Bethinana- Honing, declared that for the future the ssrveillance of the police over the religious meetings of dissenting sects should. be reduced to the narrowest,proportions, and that the-rneme bets of those sects, insteadiof sending their children t© the , public schools to receive religious instruction, mig'at : eause suc h instructions to be given to them by special professors.. Eight elders of a church,thought fit to publish a protest in the Kreuzzeztuv, against these contessions, but; it was couched in such offmsite terms, that the public prosecutor deemed it his duty to.itistitute em prosecution agamst theta on the charge of insulting the &gent, exciting- one clazs of citizens to-hatred and contempt of another, and publicly insulting the minister of worship in the exercise of his functions.;: he also.included rn the prosecution: the respon sible editor of the. journal , M. Herniae. The trial took place on Saturday, before the Criminal Tribunal., One of the accused elders proved that he had neither read nor signed, the protest, and he-wius discharged;,. two others said that they had: authorised their names to b be. put to it, but had not read and they also were dischtrged, Of the five other-elders, one, M. de Sehierstadt, who had drawn up the. protest, was. sentenced to two months' - imprisonment, and, the four others each to six weeks. he, to the responsible ator of the journal, he was fined 50‘,thalers.
