Sw ;tinier: Ix Fa A N cg.—The Tribunal of Correctional
Police haa just tried • man same! Philipeon, formerly
a banker in Paris, on numerous charges of swindling and
breach of trust. The prieoner and • man named Anne,
who had both been clerks to agents 'Jr change, eetablished
a bank in IRS 7, having at the time • capital of 50,000 f.
only, but they soon succeeded in getting securities of
various kinds to an immense amount confided to them
for the minose of receiving the dividend. and interest.
One gentleman alone, M. bruery, of Antibes, entrusted
them with 300,000 f. in share., and other securities,
which they sold, employing the proceed. in specukting
at the liourse. In Septeniher, BM, they both
absconded, leaving aseets of 19,000 f. onlv to meet liabili-
ties amounting to above • million orJrancs. On ex•
undoing their account, it was found that in the course
of little more than four y'VATII their Bourse operations
amounted to 137,180;6841., and that they hail paid to
four uproots de change • total of :102,604f. lint in these
speculations. In March, Ise2, they were declared
bankrupts and in June following were each condemned
by default to five years' imprisonment for swindling and
breach of trust. Thilippon alone now rippeared to
oppose that sentence, and the Tribunal, after hearing
counsel for the prisoner, confirmed it; but reduced the
erm of impriaonment to three years only.l

came more furious, and made nevem' attempts to enter
the inquest room, but the jury barricaded the door and

office, when the father was removed from the hospital.
Sobeequently, when the bouseourgeon, • Mr. Herbert

pertinent manner, that "it was not • question for his
interference." The Coroner remarked that it was highly
improper, upon which Mr. Spencer's insolence begrime
offensive, and he was ordered to leave the court. He
said that he made the examination "upon the authority
of the institution," and the jury very properly appended
to the verdict a direct censure upon the practice of
making unnecessary post-mortem examinations, which,
without question, have the effect of wounding the feel-
inn of the relatives of deceased persons.

The Paris papers are indulging in very free epoch-
Eons as to the repliee of the several Powers to the
Emperor's invitation to join in • Congress, and the semi-
officiate seek to snake the public believe that they are
generally favourable to the scheme. The public, how-
ever, are not to be deceived, and have come
to the conclusion that what is called the " socep-
tan°, on principle" is nothing else than • polite
negative, and prophesy the certain failure of the Con-
gress. The Corps Legisletif are engaged in verifying the
elections, and most extraordinary revelations of the
manoeuvres of the Government to obtain the return of
their candidates are elicited, but neither the public
nor the press take any notice of the business.

significant, and we think it right to prepare our readers

WA R, WAR, WAR Signs of war are apparent
almost everywhere. At least there are sufficient
warlike movementa in various parts of the world
to cause uneasiness at home. In Germany and
Denmark there is intense excitement on that in-
terminable Schleswig-Holstein question; in
France a large party is anxious to go to war
with Russia on behalf of Poland; in China we
are again rapidly drifting into another war'
from we learn that Prince Sateuma and
other princes are preparing for war; in New
Zealand an inglonous war is being waged ; and
last, not least, the American struggle which
wearies and disgusts the rest of the world, and
enfeebles America herself to a disastrous extent,
shows no more signs of coming to an end than
when it first began. Every one must devoutly
pray that we may be spared so great an evil as
to engage in a European war ; but looking at the
present aspect of things it is impossible to avoid
dismal apprehensions.
he facts connected with the Schleswig-
Holstein question, which is now agitating
Germany, are simply these: On the death of
the late King of Denmark, who had no issue, the
Crown, by a previous act of settlement, devolved
on Prinoe Christian ; and on Monday the 10th
inst., he was proclaimed King of the united
principalities of Denmark, Schleswig and Hol-
stein. His title to the triple sceptre, like that of
Ithe First George who bore rule in these king-
doms, is founded on constitutional right, ratified
by public law, and for the last twelve years
he has been recognised as the expectant
Sovereign. But • claim has now been set up in
contravention of law and right--• claim founded
on the bare principle of legitimacy, and impugn-
ing that which constitutes the foundation of all
regal authority in modern times—the consent of
the governed. The present Duke of Augustan-
burg was confessedly born in wedlock, and about
his parentage there is no dispute. But his
mother became his father's wife by a morganatic
marriage ; that is to say, she was not of the
Sovereign caste; and according to the tenets of
Germany, youth, beauty, virtue, and constancy
cannot cure the congenital defect of inferior
blood. The Duchess of Angustenburg's family
belonged to the class which in England we
call the gentry ; and her children were there-
fore not regarded as capable to any of the prero-
gatives or priviliges of kingship. His father was
reminded officially of the fact by the ministers
before he signed the treaty of 1852, in which the
succession to the Danish Crown was solemnly
declared, and morally guaranteed by six of the
principal powers of Europe, to be vested in the
collateral branch of Gliicksburg. Christian IL
comes of a younger branch of the ducal house of
Holstein; and Prince Frederick, who is called
the Pretender, because he sets up his personal
pretensions against the will of the people and
against the law of the land, is admittedly the
male representative of the elder; but if heredi-
tary right, founded on the feudal law of
primogeniture, could have determined the
possession of the British throne, James 111. was
undoubtedly the legitimate king of England,
Ireland and Scotland, and George I. was •
usurper. In like manner, if the ducal crown of
Holstein can be claimed by virtue of mere
descent on the part of the Duke of Augustan-
burg, the public law and the civilization
of modern Europe must be abandoned as
untenable fictions, based on a tissue of im-
pudent frauds. Let this doctrine be held,
and Victor Emmanuel is • usurper, Isa-
bella 11. is not Queen of Spain, and Henry V.
is lord of France and Navarre. The formation
of every constitutional government will be
brought into question, if the title of Christian
IX. be impeached. It is said, however, that •
partition of the Danish monarchy would satisfy
his Serene Highness; and that provided
Holstein and Lanenburg be banded over to him,
he would be content to allow his remote relative
to nil. at Copenhagen. But Denmark must not
be broken up in this manner. The integrity of
Sweden, Denmark, Holland, and Belgium are in-
dispensable to the liberty of modern Europe. Let
one link of the chain be broken, and the mainten-
ance of the remainder will become difficult, if not
Useless. Prussia does not now conceal her lust
of aggrandisement, and there is nothing in her
way
to • seaboard on the Atlantic but free and
gallant Denmark. Her advancement westward
would inevitably be followed by that of Russia,
which has already absorbed ono-third of the
Swedish monarchy, and which, with or without
the aid of her Prussian henchman, would then
absorb the rest. Louis Napoleon might not, in
secret, regret a rupture between Denmark and
Germany, as it might give him a pretext for
once more sending his legions across the Rhine,
Lprobably, by and by, to retain that river frontier.

avert a war, independent of her general intermit

The second meeting of this club for the ensuing
session took place at the King's Arms Hotel on Saturday.
There was • large sttendanoe of members. The chair
was occupied by the Pretident, G. J. Wood, Esq. and
the vine-chair by James Harding, Esq.
The preliminary business of the club having been
tranimated„ such as Axing the days for lectures and the
names of the lecturers,
The CHAIRMAN asked Mr. Damen to state what
passed at the Winfrith Farmers Club last year, when
the question of the corn averages was brought forward
and discussed. He (the chairman) understood that that
club bed appointed a deputation to center with other
clubs in the couhty, as to the best means for promoting
the object they had in view.
Mr. DAMAN said the question had been discussed at
the Winfrith club, and they came to the conclusion that
• committee might he formed out of the three or four
clubs in the county, so that they might bring the
question before some of their oounty members, lose. if they
could not endeavour by some means to obtain • remedy for
the obnoxious way in which the tsx was now imposed.
He should be glad for this subject to be brought before
the club. at large and well discussed, and that • committee
should draw up some memorial to the county members,
so that they mieht bring the subject before the House
of Commons.

PRESTON.—On Wednesday the Preston Temperance
Society held their nsml qarterley meeting in the
National Schoolroom of the above place (kindly lent
for the occasion by the rector, the Rev. T. Baker.)
The chair was taken by the Secretary, who in introducing
the business of the evening said, their simple object of
meeting together that evening was to set forth the
principles of total abstinence, which had been and still
was a blessing to thousands—and even to some in that
smembly—and by argument to convince them of the
right of the one and the wrong of the other, and by
moral amnion to indium them to give up the wrong and
adopt the right. And he was sure if those assembled
would yield to honest conviction and indisputable feet,
the gentlemen that surrounded him, who had come
there to address them that evening, would not fail by
the ability with which they were able to advocate the
mum to convince them that total abstinence was
highly beneficial not only to the drunkard, but also to
the whole human family. (Cheers.) The Chairman then
called on Mr. Hardy: to address them, who, in his usual
litimourocui style, interested the audience for about
twenty minutes, and then sat down &dean enthusiastic
cheering. Mr. Sargent, who was next called on to address
them, • ,id he did not contemplate speaking to them
that evening, seeing mi many around him more able ;
but nevertheless he WY always rare glad for an oppor-
tunity to give the atom of his experience in advocacy
of that muse for which they were met krnither that
night, and should he be spare!, to the next meeting he
would further express his opinion on the principles of
total abstinence. (Haar, bear.) The chairman then
called on Mr. Hobbs to address them, who said,
he merely rose to respond to the call of their
chairman, but was unable, through indisposition,
to address them at any length. He, however, went on
in his usual ability and met, interspersing his remarks
with highly amusing sneedotes for about • quarter of
an boar, and then resumed his seat &druid loud
appleuss: The Chairman then said he was sure what
what bad been said by the preseding nPeahegs had well
prepared their minds for the speech his rev, friend was
about to make. (Hear.) Whether the people believed
in the previous speaker's remark, that 'strong drink did
not make a man strong," be knew not, bat one thing be

Mr. Hoge, said the earn averages was • subject
which the (dub should take notice of, and suggested
that Mr. Dames should bring it forward for diacuasion
at the January meeting of the club.
Mr. DAlln would not consent to this arrangement,
but if any other gentleman would do so he should be
most happy to assist him. Having himself brought the
subject forward recently, and as it Cu now in the hands
of the club, he thought they ought to relieve hint front
all further responsibility. If the chairman would bring
forward the subject he would give bias his best
exertions.

The CIIIIIIIAN suggested that Mr. Damen should
only give a short statement of the question, occupying
about ten mieutes, and this Mr. Daman expreaaW his
willingness to do.

G. J. WOOD, BMA, AND TEN Passe.
The CHAIRMAN sail: Perhaps I may be expected to
say something on what has passed in the public prints,
relative to a part of the address which I had the honour
of delivering to you at the last meeting. All I have to
remark is, to express • hope that no member of this
club will be doled by any misconstruction that bite been
put upon those observationa. We have no controversy
with " newspaper editors;" but we bases duty to our-
selves and to the agricultural interest. It became neces-
sary to distinguiali the prerogatives of the club, sod the
right of its individual members. This I endeavoured
to do as your president, and in so doing I believe I
spoke the voice of the club. If lam right in this sub-
ject we have only to hold to those principles, and if the
necessity should unfortunately arise to put them in
practice. This is all I will venture to say on the
subject.
Mr. JAMES HARDING than delivered the following
teeters:—

--iii.-ituratnnirt sin Grimm:lmm : In bringing forward
for discussion this evening "The different breeds of
sheep, and their adaptation to different localities," will,
without doubt, throw open a space for the expression
Of opinions on so important an animal to the commu-
nity at large, as that of sheep. To enumerate the
various breeds of sheep now-a-day is. I must own, yearly
becoming more and more difficult ; therefore I will only
selects few of the most prominent and best adapted for
various lomhties of our county, namely, the well-known
Dorset horn, the Wateroombe breed, the improved
Hampshire Down, and the South-down or pure Seises.
Of the first, the well-known Dorset horns are best
adapted for strong and luxuriant pasture land, and will
stand some coroodemble folding on the &rabies adjoin-
ing during •portion of the year. They cute good fleece,
are very prolific, often rearing twins, am excellent dams
for milk, and much sought after by the up-country
dealers and graziers on account of their early lambing,
being the first with the Somerset horns to yield lambs
for winter and early spring consumption, and are well
adapted as a class for certain localities of our county.
The neat class, called the Wateroombe Downs, require
the same sort of wturage and accommodation as the
Dorset horns. They are a useful claim of sheep, have
strong constitutions, are hearty feeders, cut a good
fleece, and pass a heavy carcase of mutton, often ex-
moding in weight that of the horns, The next class is
that called by name the Improved Hampshire Down—a
