AMERICA.

THE ASSASSINATION OF MR. BULIVAN.—We are in-
formed by the last advices from Lima of the apprehen-
sion by the Peruvian Government of the assassin of the
late British Minister, Mr. S. &divan. His name is
Juan Ceres, and, together with the others concerned in

the atrocious act, he was arrested'by a party of military,
despatched for that purpose at a place distant about 10
leagues from the city. We may expect full particulars
by the next mail, due on the 4th.

LIVERPOOL, Thursday.
The United States' mail steamship Baltic, Captain
Comstock, has arrived with advices from New York to
the 16th ult., and $923,934 in specie on freight.
A resolution had ben introduced in the Senate direct-
ing the presentation of a medal to Commodore Pauld-
ing; in opposition to this, notice had been given by a
member of his intention to offer an amendment, convey-
ing a vote of censure on that officer.
Lord and Lady Napier had, it is stated, been very
much indisposed, but are now convalescent. Prepara-
tions were being made at the Embassy for a grand ball
in honour of the Princess Royal's marriage.
The New York Journal of Commerce states, as a
singular fact, that there was not on the stocks at that
port a single vessel of any description designed for the
merchant service. The only ships in course of construc-
tion were the Russian frigate, at Mr. Webb's yard, and
United States' sloop of war, building under contract
with Jacob A. Westervelt.

An abortive attempt had been made to get up a Fili-
busters' meetipg at
,yharlestnn..

appears from the detailed account that Anderson
and his 4.5 Filibusters at Fort Castello abandoned that
place in consequence of the advance of a Nicaraguan
force of 400 men. Anderson wrote from Tauro to
Captain Sands, of the United States' ship Fulton, stating
that he would like to come down to the harbour, and
asking if he would be interfered with. Captain Sands
replied that they would receive the same treatment as
Walker and his party. Anderson then wrote a second
letter, in which he neither accepted nor declined the con-
ditions of Captain Sands, who took his boats in tow of
a steamer, went up the river, and summoned him to
surrender, which he did. They were then placed on
board the Fulton and sent to Aspinwall. „
Costa Rica bad withdrawn her 'demands upon the
Nicaraguan territory.

Scotlanb.

STOIIIIB IN SOOTLLND ccc FNBRIJABY.—Dr. Stark
gives the following interesting fact with reference to the
amount of storms in Scotland about the 7th of Febuary :
—He said, from observations made for a long series of
years, it would appear that on or about the 7th of
February Scotland rarely escaped a severe gale of wind,
and that the barometer frequently attains its minimum
depression for the month on or about that day. This
was the case last year, and the same at nearly all the
stations the year preceding. In proof of the regular
visits of this February storm diagrams of the stations
could be referred to for comparison with those of a few
of our own stations for the same month but different
years. From these, he said, it was observable that the
greatest depresiions, and the storm, occurred on the 3rd
of February in 1843, on the 6th in 1844, on the 3rd and
6th in 1846, on the 6th in 1847, on the 9th in 1848,
between the sth and 6th in 1856, and on the 7th in 1857.

THE WEATHER IN THE NORTH OF SCOTLAND.—
With the exception of a few days of last week the
weather in the north of Scotland tits been milder than
in any former season for the last 40 years. At Aber-
deen there were ripe strawberries pulled from one
garden, and new potatoes from a garden at Peterhead.
Very little snow has yet fallen even in the Highlands.

to one month's hard labour. It has been ascertained that
the poor girl augers, though of course inexcusably, from
a mania for theft. Distinguished cases against parties
of the very highest social position frequently meet the
public eye in the metropolitan police reports.
Martin Millard, of Handly, a journeyman shoemaker,
was sentenced to six weeks' hard labour, for embezzling
goods of his master.
Robert Howe was summoned by Elizabeth Elkins in
a case of affiliation. An agreement being put in by the
complainant, whereby the putative father had agreed to
pay ls. 9d. per week for the maintenance of the child,
Mr. Freeman, on the part of the defendant, made a
strong appeal to the bench, quoting the opinions of the
editors of the Justice of the Peace, which were in strict
keeping with his argument, viz., that the complainant
had a civil remedy already, and that it would be unjust
to add another remedy to complainant, who, on cross-
examination, admitted that she was the mother of five
children, and was an unmarried woman. The magis-
trates, who by the law, are enabled to use a discretion
in such a case, set the dictum of the learned editors in.

ITALY.

The Desperate, Cap-tain- gie, R.N., came into
Naples on Thursday from Palermo, and, as it was very
stormy, ran over to Bardi. This morning she has again
made her appearance. "Two unprotected females,"
whose travels through Norway are known to the world,
have also arrived, after ascending Mount Etna and
traversing the snow, which was in sonic places 111 feet
deep, for 17 hours. I believe that an ascent under such
ciremnstanees by ladies is perfectly unique.
Thi trial of prisoners at Salerno, it was said, would
come on on the 28th or 29th ult. A new court-house has
been erected for this special occasion, as the old court,
besides being too small, suffered for the earthquake; 284
prisoners will appear in court.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

BOROUGH, JAN. 29.—We continue to have a steady
demand for good and line hops at full prices, and a few
parcels of yearlings have changed hands on speculation.
There is, however, • very large supply of hops in ware-
house here.

We have rather less business pauing in our market;
prices are, however, firmly maintained, and for the
finest samples, the tendency towards improvement is
still observable. The imports of foreign hops into
London hut week were 296 bales from Hambro', and 25
bales from Boulogne.

WOOL MARKET.

Since Monday last there have been increased inquiries
for good and fine fleeces, at full prioes. All other kinds
of wool continue dull in sale. There is, however' every
prospect of a steady revival in the trade, at dealers
generally hold unusually light stock/ for the time of
year.

FLOATING THE LEVIATHAN.

On Sunday aftemon theprotracted process of launching
this vessel was happily brought to a successful ter-
mination, and the Leviathan was floated off her ways
and towed to her moorings in the river. It was re•
solved on Friday night that the attempt to haul her to
her moorings should be made on the following day, and
to this end all the necessary preparations and precau.
gone were duly arranged. But within a couple of hours
after this decision had been made every arrangement
was frustrated and all the plans overturned by the sud-
den change of wind. Friday afternoon's high tide gave
a depth of 18 feet 2 inches under her stern; the tide of
Friday night should have been some four or five inches
higher, but the change of wind kept it down to less
than 15 feet.
. . . . .

Captain Harrison, with whom alone rested the
responsibility of taking her to her berth, decided against
floating her on Saturday, and immediately all the purops
and auxiliary engines were set to work to pump back
again the water ballast of which, to the extent of some
3,000 tons, she had been lightened during the night.
Saturday's weather justified all these precautions to the
fullest extent. After sundry hindrances and incidenta'.
mishaps of no great moment, the Leviathan was fairly
got under weigh, and with the aid of four steamers
brought slowly down to her moorings opposite Deptford.
Here she was instantly made fast stem and stern to the
Government moorings in the centre of the river, at •
part where even at low water she will have almost double
the depth required to float her. By the time she was
fairly moored the news of her being afloat had spread up
and down the river, and the Thames was almost covered
with small boats, which rowed around her, and some of
which were laden to the very water's edge with men,
women, and children. Fortunately, no accident took
place, and the tiny fleet that followed in the wake of
the Leviathan, and which made the banks re-echo their
prolonged cheering, quietly dispersed before nightfall.

Powrsmouttr.—Prince Aldabert of Prussia visited
the dockyard and arsenal of Portsmouth on Thurs-
day. His Royal Highness arrived by the mail train
of the South•Weetern Railway at a quarter to one,
and proceeded at once to the George Hotel, where
he was received by Chevalier Vandenberg, the
Prussian consul. The prince left Portsmouth on
Friday for Dieppe, via Brighton. As was the case
with Prince Albert of Prussia on Tuesday, the visit
of Prince A ldabert was of a strictly private character,
and the ordinary official recognition of the presence
of a distinguished personage was dispensed with.

CONVICTION FOR WASTING WATER—At South-
ampton on Monday, before Captain Breton and Mr.
.1. Clark, William Henry Whittle, owner of the
house No. 4, Princes-street, Northam, was summoned
for allowing water to run to waste. Mr. G. Main-
waring, engineer to the local board, proved that the
house in question was supplied with water by the
Local Board of Health. Police-sergeant Harris
stated that he went to the premises on Thursday af.
ternoon, and found water running to waste from the
tap in the back yard. He could not turn it off or
stop it. He was on the premises five minutes. He
asked the women (the tenant) to lend him a cup,
and found that a quart of water run to waste in half
a minute. In answer to the bench Mr. Mainwaring
stated that there would be a waste of 720 gallons per
diem, and that the charge for 1,000 gallons is Is.
Capt. Breton said the magistrates had no alternative
but to convict, and would fine the defendant £1 and
expenses, .£5 being the highest penalty.

PRUSSIA.

The series of festivities with which the marriage of
Prince Frederick William with the Princess Royal will
be celebrated in Berlin was opened on Monday evening
by a brilliant ball, given by,Lord Bloomfield, at the hotel
of the English Mission, to between 400 and 500 guests.
A singular consequence at the expected arrival of the
bride in Berlin is mentioned in a letter of the 25th
"Several houses in the capital are already ornamented
with flags and garlands in honour of the marriage of
Prince Frederick William. The lower classes are flock-
ing to the pawnbrokers, in order to pledge articles of less
value than five thalcrs, as they well know that on the
occasion of the marriage of any prince of the royal family
the pledges for that amount will be restored to them
gratis."

WEST COAST OF AFRICA.

PLYMOUTH, Tuesday Evening.—The Korth of Europe
Steam Na•rigation Company's packet Oscar 1., Com-
mander Ha.wksley, arrived this afternoon. The coast is
particularly healthy. Trade is dull, excepting in slaves.
The fogs I.:novm as African smokes have set in thickly,
especially in the Bights of Benin and Baifra, and render
the inland navigation highly dangerous. Colonel
O'Connor, Governor of the Gambia, has made a success-
ful survey in the colonial steamer Dover up the rivers
Jeba and Rio Grande. He explored the Arange Chan-
nel and landed on a large and fertile but illreputed
island, the King of which entertained him three days,
and joined his subjects in the expression of an anxious
desire to commence trade with the British. The Oscar
was detained two days at Sierra Leone for fuel, the Go-
vernment not being in a condition to supply her with
sufficient to reach the Gambia. She expenenced strong
south and south-east winds, with heavy cross seas, but
made the passage from Bathurst in 14 days, including
her detention.

TOWN COUNCIL.

A quarterly meeting of the Town Council of this
borough was held yesterday (Monday) morning in the
Council Chamber. There were present the Mayor, W.
Mantleld, Esq., in the chair; councillors Hodges,
Devenish, Garland, Bishop, Ensor, Galpin, Lock, Legg.
Stanton, and Andrews. The Town Clerk read the mi-
nutes of the proceedings of the last meeting, which were
confirmed. Mr. Ensor, in reference to the complaint of
the Rev. Mr. Churchill respecting posts outside the gar•
den door of Colliton House, reported that in compliance
with the council's resolution he had had an interview
with Mr. Churchill, audit had been arranged to have
the posts made so as to be easily moveable to admit the
passing of • cart.
FINANCES—The Town Clerk read the quarterly report
of the Finance Committee, which recommended the
payment of several small sums. In regard to a charge
amounting to £2l 12s. 4d., by Mr. G. J. Gregory for
building half of a patty wall between lots 32 and 33 in
Wollaston Field, • charge for which the Town Clerk
thought the Board was liable, lot 32 not being yet sold,
Mr. Galpin moved that the matter be referred to Mr.
Barnes, the surveyor, to ascertain the correctness of the
demand. Mr. Bishop seconded this, and it was agreed
to. A letter from Col. Cox, dated Jan. 15, stating that
the County Police Committee agreed to give £lO • year
from Christmas last for the use of the borough lockup
houses, was read. Mr. Lock, as there was £3OO in hand,
moved that • sum of £2OO be purchased in the Consols,
to replace • similar sum sold out some years since. Mr.
Bishop seconded the proposition; but, at the suggestion
of the Mayor, Mr. Galpin moved as an amendment, that
the question be referred to the Finance Committee,
for them to report whether any or what sum should be
invested. Mr. Garland seconded this amendment, and it
passed. Mr. Lock suggested that the Finance Com.
mittee should also take into consideration the council's
liability with reference to Hill's charity, because there
appeared to be a liability on the part of the council to
provide a sum of £5 for a scholarship at the Grammar
School during the time a "scholar" or exhibitioner is at
that seminary. The Council then resolved itself into a

PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.

PERSONS EMPLOYED ON RAILROADS.—A return of
the number and description of persons employed on the
railroads of the United Kingdom on the 30th of June,
1857, was published on Tuesday by order of the House
of Commons on the motion of Mr. Lowe, M.P. The
length of the line open at the period named being
8,942 miles (for the whole of the United Kingdoni),
and the total number of stations amounting to 3,121,
it appears that there were employed on such railroads,
221 secretaries and managers, 26 treasurers, 150 engin-
eers, 398 superintendents, 198 storekeepers, 201 cashiers
or accountants, 997 inspectors or time keepers, 2,471
stationmasters, 404 ticket collectors, 156 draughtsmen,
8,712 clerks, 1,355 foremen, 3,563 engine drivers, 3,644
assistant drivers or firemen, 3,716 guards or breaksmen,
21,337 artificers, 3,263 switchmen, 1,998 gatekeepers,
2,349 police or watchmen, 17,091 porters or messengers,
8,260 platelayers, 26,285 labourers, and 2,695 persons in
miscellaneous ways. The grand total number of
employee on the open railroads of the United Kingdom
at the end of June, 1856, was 102,117, whereas the
grand total number of the employes, a list of whom has
just been run through, was 109,660. On 3,193 miles of
unopened railways there were employed at the end of
last June 44,037 persons, so that the railway business of
the empire required the services of 153,697 persons of
all grades and capacities. Of those employed 116,834
were in England and Wales, 20,172 in Scotland, and
16,891 in Ireland.

MARK-LANE CORN EXCHANGE.

FBIDAT, JAN. 29.—About an average supply of
English wheat has come to hand this week, coastwise,
viz., 2,010 quarters. Fresh up to-day the receipts of
that grain by land carriage were small; consequently,
the show of samples was limited. All kinds met a
very dull inquiry, and inferior samples were rather
lower in price than on Monday. Nearly 13,000 quarters
of foreign wheat have come in this week. The trade
ruled heavy in the extreme, and prices were barely sup-
ported. Barley moved off slowly, at about Monday's
currency. We had a slow inquiry for malt, at late quo-
tations. The oat trade was less active, and inferior
oats were the turn lower. Beans, peas, and Baur were
dull, but not cheaper.

COURT OF PROBATE, Thursday, Jan. 28.

(Before Sir Cresswell Creswell.)
IN RE THE GOODS OF GEORGE FRECKLESON
(DECEASED).

The deceased died at Cheltenham in November, 1857,
and in December his will was proved in the Prerogative
Court of Canterbury by his widow and sole executrix_
The property was sworn under £7,000, and the fulf
legacy duty, £l2O, was paid upon that sum; but £540
worth of the property was situated in Liverpool, in the
diocese of Chester.

Dr. Deane, Q.C. now moved that the probate which
had been granted by the Prerogative Court should be
allowed to include the whole of the property in order
that the executrix might not be under the necessity of
again proving the will in the diocese of Chester or in
this court.
The learned Judge had no doubt that this case came
within the 87th section of the Probate Act, which pro-
vided that "legal grants of probate and administration
made before the commencement of this Act, and grants of
probate and administration made legal by this Act, shall
have the same force and effect as if they had been granted
under this Act." It was, therefore, unnecessary to
make any special order in the matter. The executrix
must, however, pay the same additional amount of
legacy duty as would have been paid if the Act had not
passed.

PRIVILEGE OF COUNSEL.

IN RE THE GOODS OF SOPHIA H
(DECEASED).

LIJDLOW

Mr. Cole, of the common law bar, rose to move for the
grant of letters of administration in this case.
Sir C. Cresswell.—l have had the pleasure of knowbag
you somewhere else, Mr. Cole, but I do not think that I
am authorized to know you here.
Mr. Cole wished to address a few observations to his
lordship on that preliminary question. He submitted
that although he had never practised as an Advocate in
an Ecclesiastical Court, he was entitled to be heard be-
fore his lordship.
Sir C. Cresswell.—lt might be as well, before we pro-
ceed to discuss a question of such importance, that the
matter should stand over for argument. RR some gentle-
man might think proper to appear on leha'l of the Col-
lege of Civilians. The 40th section of time Act provides
that "All serjeants and barristers-at-law shall be enti-
tled to practise as advocates or counsel in all contentious
matters and causes in the said court." The distinction
drawn between contentious and non-contentious business
is as plain as possible, and unless you make out that you
are within the clause by showing that this is a "conten-
tious matter" you are not entitled to be heard.
Mr. Cole said, he did not found his right to be heard
upon the Act, but upon the common law of England.
Sir C. Creeswell suggested that some day should be
named, upon which the question ahould be argued in
solemn form, notice being given to the College of
Civilians.
Mr. Cole said, he only represented himself, and was
not authorized to appear on behalf of the bar of Eng-
land. He did not think his clients would wish to
proceed and argue the point, this being but a small
matter.

Sir C. Cresswell.—For the present I deohne to hear
you. The matter may stand over.

TUSCANY.

The council of the Prefattre of Leghorn has just
passed sentence upon 227 persons tried for having taken
part in the attempted insurrectfon and street fighting in
that city at the end of June last. Of these persons 47
have been condemned to three years' imprisonment,
which is the maximum punishment. There are 25 pri-
soners to be tried by the Court of Lama upon a similar
indictment.

ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIITT.—The Prince Consort has
contributed • donation of £5O towards the erection of
the agricultural hall of the Royal Dublin Society. The
funds at present promised appear very inadequate to the
object, but his Royal Highness hopes that the society
will receive sufficient subscriptions from the landed pro-
prietors of Ireland.
MURDER AND Romonv.—A servant woman in the
employ of the Rev. Mr. Norman, of Abbeyfeale, near
Limerick, was brutally murdered on Saturday night,
about a mile from Ardagh, in the county of Limerick.
A man named Cullinane was arrested on Sunday, and
has acknowledged his guilt, He had travelled with her
on the mail-cart from Abbeyfeale to Newcastle, and,
having heard from from her that she was going to visit
her daughter-in-law, who was going to Australia, he
thought she had • large sum of money with her, which
led him to perpetrate the outrage. The result of the in.
quest is not yet known.
TEIB WIATHEB IN THT WlEBT.—Connemara and the
whole western district has been visited by one of the
severest storms at this seaaon for many years. Fairly
upon the morning of Good Friday there was • general
fall of snow, accompanied by a severe cutting wind and
some rain, which continued tip to the middle of that
day. The whole face of the country from Castlobar to
the %Merles was oovered with snow, but this disap-
peared towards the afternoon, leaving only the hill-tops
clad in the garb of winter, the wind having at that
time veered round to the westward; and in the evening
and during next day it was remarkably mild, and, ex-
cept in some clefts near the summits of the higher
mountains where the snow had drifted, no vistage of it
remained. On Sunday afternoon the wind changed
again to the south-east, raid by nightlella storm low
menced which about midnight increased to a perfect
hurricane, accompanied cooesumally by heavy rain. This
continued, with unmitigated and intense cold, during
the whole of Monday. The storm on Kylemore and
Lough Fee was such that no boat could put out; in
some places where the margin was precipitous the spray
was washed up to a bight of more than 20 feet. During
Monday night the gale moderated, but was blowing
fresh till Tuesday at noon.

had taken their leave of him in the c.nuity gaol at
Exeter. On Wednesday afternoon, however, • tele-
graphic message was received from the Home-office,
respiting the unhappy youth during Her Majesty's
pleasure. Very numerously signed petitions had
been forwarded to the Home Secretary (Walpole),
praying for a commutation of the sentence ; and the
majority of the jury who oonvicted Barwick had atm
joined in the prayer of the petitioners, in consequence
of which it is understood the Royal clemency has
been extended to the culprit.
, " THZ WRONG MAID, fitn."—A few days ago t
emple residing in the ne4hbotirhood of Bridertow„
went to the parish church to be married.
The bridegroom, instead of taking his intended
bride at the church door and actiompanying her to
the altar, walked thither with the bride's sister,
who was one of the bridesmaids. The bride appeared
to have thought that bee intended husband had
changed his mind at the last moment, and she retired
into a pew in a very dejected state of mind. The
ceremony proceeded, and it was not until the clergy.
man came to the important question, " Wilt thou
have this woman to be thy wedded wife?' that the
bridegroom ens conscious of his mistake. He then
looked round the church with astonishaventand ex-
claimed, " This is the wrong maid, Sir!" The right
maid was soon found; the ceremony was again com-
menced, and the right maid was married to the right
man, much to the satisfaction of all parties.

INSPECTORS OF WEIGHTS AND NEASIJERS.

A 'bort discussion hereupon ensued regarding a matter
of form, when, on the suueation of

Lord PORTULN, a provl; in the resolution appointing
the superintendenta, to the effect that they should ex-
amine weights and measures on specified market days on
condition that the inspection did " not interfere with the
duties of the polioe"—the words quoted were struck out.
And

—Limit-Colonel Cox, Chief Constable, in reply to the
Chairman, assured the Court that the police superin-
tendents could do not only what was specified in the Act
of Parliainent, but would take many opportunities of
going through villages in their districts for the purpose
of inspecting weight 4 and measures.
Mr. H. WILLIAMS moved that & sum not exceeding
£6OO be granted for the purpose of purchasing six sets of
weights and measures for the use of the police superin-
tendents.
CHAMP.

Motion affirmed.
APPLICATION ?ROY IX.

The CgAIIIMAN read • memorial from Mr. S. R.
Champ, which stated that the memorialist—who had
been Superintendent of the Borough police at Bridport
when thn county polies were introduced into that town
—had been 29 years in the service of the county, had re-
ceived severe injuries in the performance of his public
duties, and concluded by asking a compensating gratuity
from the C mrt. The memorial was signed by the
Mayor of Bridport and five justices, who recommended
Mr. Champ's case. The Chairman dwelt on the useful
career of the memorialist, whore he had known for
more than 20 years. There was, however, a doubt as to
whether the Court could authorise • gratuity in the
ease, and as the matter was intricate and required care-
ful consideration the Chairman proposed the postpow-
meet of the subject till next sessions. He should be
exceedingly sorry to use the prayer of the memorialist
negatived.
Mr. T. D. B tryv said that when he first acted as
Commissioner of Bankruptey for this county Mr. Champ
often acted as mummer, and the manner in which the
duty was performed was highly to the credit of the
memorialist.

Motion affirmod.

MAGII/TEBIAL orrtuoDr IL

Lord POIVIVAN said that sinoe he had given notice to
bring forward some alterations in the magisterial divi-
sion., of the county he found the Police Committee had
taken the matter into consideration, and had reported
that it was not expedient to make alterations at present.
Re (Lord Portman), in deference to that report, ab-
stained from making the Court to go into the subject.
Probably in a very few years when certain railways were
complete, it would be desirable to make still larger alter-
ations than he had contemplated; and it was a pity to
make a few alterations disturbing people unnecessarily.

SARDINIA.

Letters from Florence and Parma speak of the great
satisfaction felt in those places et the recall of Lord
Normanby, who is declared to be the most unpopular
minister England ever had in Tascany. His Austrian
sympathies were well known, and indeed he seems
rather to have taken pains to display them. The
Tuscans are prepared cordially to welcome his successor,
even though his only merit should be that of replacing a
diplomatist so much disliked as the retiring Marquis.
Mr. Howard will commence his Italian campaign under
favourable circumstances.

FRANCE.
The Emperor, accompanied by the Emprese, ma
sated the Boulevard Sebastopol on Monday. The Em-
peror was on horseback, and rode in front of his escort.
The Empress was in an open carriage. Their Majesties
were loudly cheered. Everything went off In perfect
tranquillity. The crowd vu very great.
Decidedly I incline, says the Times correspondent,
to the opinion that, after all, M. Walewalci was right
when he said in his famous note that the Mowdleur is
not exempt from the fallibility of other newspapers, and
that things do actually appear in it through inadver-
tence or carelessness. I wee always convinced of the
oontrary, but I have now • proof which, I admit, con•
eiderably affects my incredulity. There appeared on
Tuesday in the official organ (partie non-oelle) an
elaborate article on • new measure which is said to be
before the Legislative Body, entitled " Usurpation of
Titles Bill." The Bill purports to enact certain pains
and penalties against those who usurp titles and other
honorary distinctions, but it recognizes the value of
such when conferred by the Sovereign ; and, from the
general tenour of the article, there would appear no
doubt that they are meant to be continued. This ix so
diametrically opposed to the known opinion of the high-
est personage in the State that I suspect the article in
question is one of those that are published in the Afoul-
kur without authority. The grounds on which I form
my opinion are these :—ln the Progres du Pas du
Calms of the 23rd of December, 1844, appeared an able
article from the pen of Prince Louis Napoleon entitled
"Les Nobles," and it is included in the collected edition
of the Works of His Imperial Majesty (Vol. 11. p. I 51).
It is • strong invective against the resuscitation of titles
of nobility, and it treats with much sarcasm the patent
of nobility conferred by Louis Philippe on M. Puquier.
How the King of the French, whose hatred to the liber-
ty of the press, and in fact to liberty of every kind, was
so strong, allowed the editor of the Progres du Pas de
Calms to escape suspension for presuming to call in
question his acts is more than I can explain.
MATHICIDIE.—A terrible crime has been committed at
Trieste. A young workman, who maintained himself
and his mother by his daily labour, gained so little that
they lived most wretchedly. By dint of privations he
however, saved up sufficient to purchase ticket in • lot-
tery. The drawing took place a few days ago, and his
ticket gained a prize of 16,000 florins. Wild with joy
the young man hurried to his mother, informed her of
his good fortune, and asked for the ticket. "Ales, my
son," said she, " I sold it some time back." Without a
word, the young man drew his knife and stabbed her until
she fell dead at his feet. He was arrested the same day.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

THURSDAT, APRIL B.—To day's market was somewhat
extensively applied with beasts, chiefly in very mid-
dling condition. All breeds met a dull sale at barely
Monday's quotations. The show of sheep was very
moderate, and the inutton trade was steady, at very full
prioss. A few very superior Downs sold at be. 2d. per
Sibs. Lambs were in short supply, and good request at
extreme rates. Only 100 came to hand from the Isle
of Wight. Calves—the show of which was limited—
sold briskly, at 2d. to 4.1. per 81ba. more money. Pigs
and mulch claws were dull.
