The vote of censure upon him that was moved, was not carried—the majority of the guardians declining to vote—an the. ground that it involved the officer's dismissal.

TIIE LATEST NEWS. MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Friday Our ministerial crisis still continues. A special commission, appointed by the Emperor, for working out the new constitution, sits daily. Count Itechberg, Minister for Foreign Affairs ; Count Leo Thun, Minister of Public Iqstruction ; Count Clam Martinitz, Chief of the Government of Cracovia ; Count Walkenstein, Imperial Councillor ; and Baron Hubner, formerly Ambassador at Paris, take part in the sittings of the commission. An employee in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs acts e Secretary. It is fully confirmed that Baron Bach has tendered his resignation because the reforms he proposed were rejected by the Emperor.

Mr. Hoare himself was not cognisant, however, of even that proceeding ; and a letter Written by bins to Hull, before the election, which was produced before the Committee of Parliament, in which he said, "I cannot stir in- this, or in any other matter of the kind, if the battle is to be fought by Bribery, direct or indirect," most completely exonerated him from any imputation or corruption whatever briefly reported in our columns, which was brought before Italiari 'correspondents 'of the Tithes, who, several days ego, I- shn nunni rastnration would be effected by :peaty ARMY HOSPITAL CORPS NORTHERN DAILY TIMES.

Mr. HADFIELD opposed the motion on the ground o expense Mr. GRIFFITH accused the House of insincerity in its profeSsions against bribery ; and believed the committee would 'cost a good deal, and lead to nothing. Mr. MILLER made a similar charge against the House. In the Galway case both a committee and a comthission had reported that bribery had been committed, but the House threw its shield over the.guilty parties. Mr. MALiNs took a similar view.

There are seriong differences amongst the masters as well as amongst the- men. Many of the' masters have a strong objection to' the infliction on the men of the " Declaration," evz.n with ye mere verbal assent, and are much inclined to withdraw it. So strong was this feeling, that unless we are grossly misin— formed, when the matter was discussed at a private meeting of the masterk two of them from angry words almost came to blows. There is not the slightest likelihoo& of a settlement between the masters and men until the obnoxious " document" has been withdrawn. Various parties, in all ranks of life, from the highest to the humblest, deplore this lamentable strike, and talk of a settlement of the dispute by arbitration. Such a settlement is much to be desired, and were the " document" withdrawn, probably the disputants would be friends again in a few days. It is nog likely, however, that the strike and lock-out will last long: We are in hopes that the exercise of reason and judgment; on the part both of the employer and employed, will bring existing differences to an amica before many days have elapsed. ;ennination. --0- - A CRICKETER KILLED BY A CRICKET BALI,.—OR 310/1 day afternoon a young man, named Richard Prestwich, an ?received from a cricket ball, whilst playing in a match at cricket, in a field, near the Plough Inn, Gorton. llc and yoUng man, named Beckett, were at the wickets.

The Times observes, that if it be true that the Red Re public has been proclaimed at Parma, that the Piedinontese have been driven from the country, and the respectable classes have taken flight, then poor doomed Italy has once again missed her opportunity of freedom.

PERSEVERANDO SHOCKING AND FATAL ACCIDENT As James Wilkinson, of Wyke, near Low Moor, Brad ford, was proceeding with his horse and cart along Man chester-road, Bradford, the animal, by some means unknown, but probably by being hit with a stone, became frantic in a moment, rose violently upon its hindlegs, and dashed off at full gallop among, a street full of people , to the imminent danger of man. Emma Jane Hatfield, aged six years, daughter of Mr. Hatfield, surgeon, Wisby , w as at the lower end of Manchester-road, with a guardian, at the time, and owing to some excavations which is being made at the higher corner of the road, she stepped from the footpath, exactly as the infuriated animal was approaching, when, to the horror of hundreds who saw, she was struck down, and the wheel of the cart passed over her. neck and throat, and after being taken up she only breathed once or twice and expired. After dashing. on only a few seconds more, the wheel of the cart came in collision with that of another (but a stationary ve hicle) with such violence, that both animal and cart made a complete sumnierset, and fell upon their backs, when the animal was much damaged. 'No blame can be attached to Mr. Wilkinson, either by the bereaved parents, or others. The other accident alluded to, was that by which a child named James Bradley, aged 13 months, son of David B radle y , farmer, Dudley-hill, came to his death yesterday. His mother went from the house into an adjoining field to look at some cattle, leaving the child alone, and near a large tin can, or kit, containing about seven quarts of boiling malt , liquors, placed on the floor ; and when s he returned she found that the child had fallen head foremost into the liquor, and had thus been scalded to death and suffocated. the contents of the chest was prevented ; besides this, and cor- • responding' with• the position of the broken ribA and' the most , diseased of the vertebrae, there was, on the outside of the chest, at the lowest angle of the left shoulder-blade, a mass shoulder-blade: I. am of opinion that the swelling was caused by some violence done to the part ; and that such violence, however caused, did aggravate the disease that in the first instance was a natural formation, and did materially tend to shorten Peter Antonio's life. I do not doubt that the ribs, under the action of disease, gave way to a blow. To Mr. Snowball : He stated that it was possible the ribs gave way while on the stretchers.

The court, therefore, had not the slightest jurisdiction in such a case, and it was only the other day that, in the House of Lords or the House of Commons, a question arose as to whether there , should not be some jurisdiction in the law between England and • America as would meet such cases. If the jury brought in a verdict manslaughter, it, a crime coylisaule uy toe taw of England with America. The jury, having regard to their oaths, they cannot say these men were guilty of such a c r i me , wm,1,1 mt. it. to the iury If there was any eyidenen at was no all that the death of the man had been caused by violene-e The officers, who put the man on tne stretcher; were not aware of his natural state of disease, and, though they did it with all care, taking a man out of the hold of a vessel, it was possible, as the surgeon had stated, that his ribs should have given way: To-day, it was unnecessary, however-, for him to address himself to the evidence, as there was no juris diction in that court ; andy as they could not bring in a verdict for manslaughter or murder, he objected to their jurisdiction. The Coroner said Mr. Snowball, who avpeared for the captain and the mate, . had taken an objection to the juris diction of the court, and he quite agreed with him, but that only led him into another difficulty. There was no charge against. the captain. The charge was against the chief mate and the carpenter. Supposino. the objection had not been taken, or that h e h a d overruled the objection that had been submitted by Mr. Snowball, there was no positive evi to warrant a verdict of murder or manslaughter. They might have a very strong opinion, but an opinion would not do: They had the evidence of the surgeon, and he thought, for the present, they might leave alto g ether J th o e h n e case rN o v f i Lewis, death l d i e a r s circumstances by i cs m very l similar a 18'57a r In to an th n e pre sent, was committed to the assizes. demanded that the body sh be given up to onld The Ameic an t Co h. snl contending that the law existing between the States and England did not give that court any jurisdiction, but that the offending party should be sent back for trial by the law of his own country.
