THE LOCR KATRINE WATERWORKR.—We may men-
tion lan very curious incident that no sooner had Her
Majesty proceeded to the cottage than two courageous
navvies, attired in a garb specially made for the occa-
sion, and having some resemblance to the holyday trap-
pings of a Lotdon waterman, embarked in a shallow
flat-bottouied boat, and, accompanied by • young gentle-
man, set out on a voyr.ge of discovery down the tunnel.
Where they emerged to the light iof day, and what
they saw, we love ;e4 yt t learned, but it is mionc,h to
tc,jr that the incident created a good deal of amusement.

arrangements for the banquet have not yet all been
completed. It is fully expected that his Lordship will
be elected Chancellor of the University on the 24th
inst., and that after the banquet he will deliver an ad-
dress to the students in this capacity. The Duke of
Buccleuch has been mentioned as • rival candidate ;
but it is thought to be doubtful whether or not his sup-
porters will ti 1111 l inate him in opposition to the special
and distinguished claim of Lord Brougham.

THY. CARRON COMPANT.—The Falkirk Herald says :
—" With reference to the paragraphs that have ap-
peared in our contemporaries relative Co the alleged
cooking of the balance sheets of this great company for •
long send & of years, we may state that the hooks of the
concern have been thrown open, that every facility is
being given for thorough investigation, and that account-
ants have been engaged for souse weeks past in cap's-
eating the affairs of the company. As may readily be
supposed, the pnigress they have made is not great.
They have only, it is said, overcome twelvemonths in as
many weeks, so that the result id their labours will be
remote, and what that result may be it would be
rash to predict. The parties at present connected with
the company regard the investigation with entire com-
plaisance, and await the issue with perfect confidence in
the rectitude of the inana4eineut being made appa-
rent."

The Earl of Cardigan. InsPwt4r-C'enerli of
Cavalry, arrived in Exeter on Monday. At 4
o'clock, the noble earl proceedixl to the Exeter
barracks, to inspect the head-quarters of the 9th
Lancers, under the command of Cob Little. After
they had gone throngh several movements with
great precision, the Earl of Cardigan thus &dressed
the men—" I am very glad to see so fine • regints.at
on
,parade, after such long and good samosa In
Intim" The noble earl then proceeded to inspect
the men who have applied for their discharge. A
grand banquet was given to the regiment y the
citizens of Exeter, Thursday week, in the Higher
market, which is capable of holding several thousand
persons. The men who have just returned from
India were present. Seats were provided for ladies,
and a large number attended. The Mayor of Exeter
(Capt. Tanner) presided, and among the guests were
Col. Little and nearly all the officers of tbe regiment,
Sir J. L Duntze, Mr. R. 8. Gard, M.P., the High
Sheriff of Exeter (M. 8. 8. Perkins), halides a very
large number of the gentlemen and tradesmen of the
city. The bands of the Devon Yeomanry and the
Ist. Devon Militia played at intervals during the
banquet. The soldiers were much affected with
their reception, which was of the most enthusiastic
and gratifying character. The healths of the officers,
non-commissioned officers, and privates of the regi-
ment were drunk amid deafening applause. Cob
Little and Serg.-Major Spence responded to the
toasts, and expressed their warm appreciation of the
kind and hospitable manlier in which the regiment
had been received by the citizens of Exeter.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

BOROUGH, FRIDAY, Oct. 21. Our market is well
supplied with all new hops, and the deniand for them
continues steady, at full prices. Yearling!' and old
qualities may be purchased on lower terms—Mid and
East Kent pockets. 114 s. to 147 a.; Weald of Kent*, tiOa.
to ifs.; flumes, NU. to Os. per cwt.
During the past week the business of our incrket has
been somewhat lessened by the operation* at the various
fairs, and the demand for Weald of Kents and Sussex
has not been so full. In the choice growths of Mid and
East Kent a large trade has been done, and full rates
have been in all cases maintained. The imports of
foreign hops into London last week were 2 bales from
Hamburgh.

THC BLANDFORD MIREZZLIMENT CAM.

Hears Lance, 26, described u a relieving officer, and
having a very respectable appearance, was arraigned on
a charge of embeisling the sum of £lO, intrusted to him
by the guardians of the Blandon! Union, of whom he
was the agent, on the 9th of April last. Mr. Woodforde
nooks was engaged for the prosecution, and Mr. Saun-
ders for the defence.
Upon being called upon to plead, the prisoner said :
"I plead guilty to the charge. At the seine time Ibe
to state to the court that I acted under great mental
excitement—without premeditation, and without intent
to defraud the guardians, as I believed I had left enough
behind to cover the amount."

Mr. Saunders said that amounted to a plea of not
guilty ; but as he understood the prisoner would be
recommended to mercy, and as he would receive an ex-
cellent character prior to this transaction, the prisoner
had been advised to plead guilty.
The plea of guilty was then taken.
Mr. W. H. Atkinson, clerk to the Board of Guardians
of the Blandford Union, said the prisoner had been re-
lieving officer of that union for the hist seven years.
His accounts passed through witness's hands during that
time, and they had always been correct with the excep-
ti.m of accidental errors, lie had been an active and in-
telligent officer during that period. As the prisoner
had pleaded guilty, he (Mr. Atkinson) took upon him-
self to recommend him to mercy, having previously
borne an excellent character for upright and straightfor-
ward conduct.

Mr. Saunders also banded in several testimonials as to
character, which were examined by the court.
Mr. Atkinson, in answer to a queNtion from the bench,
said the sum prisoner had taken was for one week's pay
to the out-paupers, k.e.
The Chairman asked if the prisoner had restored any
part of the money?
Mr. Atkinson said he had not, but as soon as the
auditor had ascertained the amount due, it would be
recovered from the sureties. .

The learned Chairman seriously addressed the prisoner,
and sentenced him to jx months' hard labour.

VISIT OF THE PRINCE NAPOLEON TO THE
GREAT EASTERN.

On Tuesday morning Prince Napoleon pad • visit to
the Great Eastern, and spent about three hours on board.
His Imperial Highness arrived from France in the
steamer Dauphin, commanded by M. Roca, and was
accompanied by Count Branicki, Baron de la Ronriere,
Captain in the Imperial Navy; M. de Chisucourtois,
Mining Engineer-in-Chief; Colonel Pisani, Aide-de-
Camp ; ViscountClere, Equerry in Waiting; N. Wyatt,
Secretary to His Imperial Highness: and N. Chuietlcky.
The Prince was received by Mr. Campbell, Chairinan of
the Great Shin Company ; Mr. Bold, Deputy-Chair-
man; Captain Harrison, and Mr. Prowse, chief officer.
The l'rince examined the ship minutely, and expressed
himself delighted with all he saw.
While performing the work of inspection—and it is
work, if it is well done—the Prince became very hungry,
and made his wants known to Captain Harrison, who
immediately ordered breakfast for him, of which he
partook heartily.
Some of the tailors of the Dauphin who were on board
seised upon • man-of-war's man from the Hastings with
avidity. The guns on deck seemed to be • great attrac-
tion. Scarcely a Frenchman besides his Imperial High-
ness petted them without stopping, taking out the
tompion, and peering down the muzzle.
Mr. Nottage, the representative of the London
Stereoscopic C.rupany on board, was allowed by the
Prince to take four views of himself and suite.
The bend employed on the Great Eastern came on
board at 9 o'clock, and, on learning that the Prince had
arrived, played" Partant pour la Syrie ;" and then, by
way of contra,' they favoured him with "Britons never
shall be slaves." After leaving the Great Eastern, the
Prince paid a visit to a gun-boat and • dispatch-boat
lying in the harbour; then inspected the breakwater,
and in the afternoon left Holyhead in the Dauphin for
Liverpool.
The Great Eastern is all alive with visitors and it
seems probable now that the number will increase each
successive day until the time arrives for departure.
Since Wednesday the average number of visitors daily
has been 2,537.

PERRY'S PATENT CONCENTRATED
ESSENCE of COPAIBA and CURER SAC.
CHARATED CIA/RULES, • new and agreeable pre-
p•ration of the very ~nee of the Balsam of Copaiba
and Cubebs, rendered perfectly Matelots, yet dill retain-
ing at the same time, its curative powers, devoid both
of swell and of all nauseating and deleterious properties,
so that the most delicate stomach can take them with
perfect safety, and without producing nausea, sickness,
or any indication of the nature f the medicine.
In all cases of Gonurrhaia, Gleet, Stricture, ke., •
single trial will prove the efficacy of this invaluable
remedy; as it at once acts upon the lirino-Genital
MOMS, redwing them to their healthy date, and cor-
recting the inortiiil state of the urine. Each globule is
encased in sugar, which renders them pleasant to take.
and affords the greatest facilities for persons travelling
abroad, or engaged in business. They are adapted for
both sexes, and are suited for all climates. In order to
gmrd against counterfeit imitations, they will be sold in
at tin cases, price 2s. lkl. (by post 3e. 4s. fid. (by

PERRY'S CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM is
expressly employed in both sexes to renovate the
impaired powers of life, when exhausted by the influence
exerted by solitary indulgence on the system. Its
aetion is purely balsamic ; its power in re-invigorating
the frame in all cases of nervous and sexual debility,
obstinate gleeta, impotency, barreaneas, and debilities
arising from venereal excesses, has been deutonstrated
by its unvarying success in thousands of cases. To
those persons who me prevented entering the married
state in consequence of early errors, it is invaluable.
Price 4e. lid. and Ile, per bottle, or four quantities in
one fur Me., which saves lie. ; or in 1:5 cases.

PERRY'S DETEITSIVE ESSENCE; an anti-syphi-
litic remedy for purifying the system from venereal con-

SARDINIAN REPLY T 0 THE AUSTRIAN

ULTIMATUM.
The following is a summary of the reply made by
Count Garolr to the ultunaatun presented by Count
Buol : _

The Austrian Government is not ignorant of the fact
that the negotiations led to a proposition of a general
disarmament, drawn up by England, and accepted by
France, Russia, and Priussia. Sardinia, actuated by •
spirit of conciliation, adhered to this proposition
unreservedly, and without arriere pessee, and Austria
can neither be ignorant of the proposition of England,
nor of its acceptance by Sardinia.
The Sardinian government has nothing to add, in
order to make known its intentions as regards the diffi-
culties which oppose the meeting of • oongress. The
conduct of Sardinia in this matter has been appreciated
by all Europe.
Whatever may be the future consequences the entire
responsibility will fall upon Austria, who was the first
to arm—who has rejected a proposition accepted by all
the powers—and substituted for it a menacing

BERLIN, Thursday, April 28.
In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies to-day the
Minister for Foreign Affairs made • statement on the
subject of the present political crisis. The following is
• tninniary

Recent occurrences are very threatening. The differ-
ences between Austria on the one side, and Sardinia and
France on the other, have reached a point at which the
outbreak of war may be momentarily expected. Eng-
land has made • last endeavour at mediation, but the
hope of her success is extremely small. In this potition
of uncertainty no communication of any measures which
either of the opposing parties may have taken has collie
to the knowledge of Government. The placing of three
Corp. d'annte of the Prussian army on • war.footing and
in readiness for war has also been resolved upon by the
Federal Diet. Besides our own safety, we must keep in
view the safety of Germany. the nioreso because another
great German Power is on the brink of war. But the
present condition of warlike preparation which the
Federal Diet has sanctioned is purely of the same nature
as the Confederation itself, that is to say, essentially
defensive, and with this object Prussia, in concert with
her (;ennan federal associates, is armed on all sides.
Above all things she adheres to the principle that the
interest of Germany is also the interest of Pruasia.

Cheverell, went to the shee;efold at the usual time.
when he discovered that a most awful havoc and
slaughter had been committed during the night. The
flock consisted of ewes and lambs, nearly the whole
of which were out of the fold, and scattered in all
directions. Four ewes were lying deed, and dread-
fully mangled, while 20 others were more or less torn
and wounded. Such a wholesale slaughter has not
occurred in this neighbourhood for years. The pollee
were immediately on the alert, and soon succeeded
in finding out a dog kept by a man in the village,
named Ciioksey, who, much to his credit, having
satisfied himself that his dog was the cause of the
&Meade!, immediately had it destroyed.

On a review of the state of our society for the put
year we have much cause for thankfulness. We h.,.
prospered hitherto, and we trust that it will please God
still to prosper the work of our hands, dedicated as it
is to the permanent social advantages of the county of

At the conclusion of the report the various officers of
the society were re-elected. The members then re-
formed themselves and perambulated the lower part of
the Island, in spite of the east wind and the fast falling
rain. At three o'clock they asseuibled in St. John's
School-room, and sat down, in number about 200, to
substantial dinner provided by Miss Winter, of the
Portland Arms Inn. The chair was taken by H. E.

The increase of sickness is mainly attrihutable to the
extremely unhealthy autumn of last year, almost uni•
vensal in England ; but it is a comfort to reflect on the
cant summit of medical and pecuniary asaistance afforded
to 393 of our members in their illness, and that, too,
not only without any diminution, but Nab an increase
of money put by, amounting to £.503 3s. 44.
The great labour in preparing the accounts for the
actuary has rendered it impossible to submit to the
members the items of his awenl for the past five years,
and, as happened at the ',Triad of the last return, we must
postpone it until the next annual meeting.
By a careful perinimil of the abstract
.of accounts. it
will be seen that the percentage of sick-pay vanes
greatly in different branch clubs, and that in
.sonic it
continues to do so year by year. The committees of
these branches are earnestly requested to give their
best attention to this, and to communicate with the
secretary as to the MIK% of thelki adverse balaDoes to

important instructions for the hasty preparation of an

THE ALLEGED TREATY BETWEEN RUSSIA
AM) FRANCE.

The following are the exact terms in which the
llourtte Nationale of Berlin announced the conclusion
of a treaty between Russia and Prance :
The position of Russia in the existing complication*
becomes more and more defined. The news is confirmed
from various quarters that a treaty of alliance offensive
and defensive has been concluded between Russia and
France. We have every reason to believe that this
intelligence is perfectly correct, and we learn that this
alliance was concluded on Friday the 22nd. Russia, in
consequence, will at once mobilise four corps (tarmac,
Iwo of which will be ...tit to the Austrian frontier, and
the others towards the frontiers of Prussia.

The lil"reing &rand ham reason to know that the
Russian Prime Minister has given our Government the
strongest assurances "that no agreement has been
entered into that can in any way affect the interests of
this country." The same journal, however, has received
a telegraphic despatch from Turkey. to the effect that •
Russian army of 60,000 have crashed the Dueiper, there-
by threatening the Gsllacian frontier of Austria.
The Pose says :—"There is still, we rejoice to say,
a hope of peace. And our joy is the more sincere be-
came, if that hope be realized, it will be only oil such
terms as are likely to secure the progress and prosperity
of Italy. The last F.nglish offer of mediation is unoler
the serious consideration of the Emperor of the French ;
and if &lie Austrians refrain from advancing, we are in-
formed that a pacific settleusent may yet be made.

WAREHAM.
WAREHAM ELECTION.

At the nomination on Friday lug, a aerials di,
turbance arose, which resulted in broken arms and
broken lie.-vbs. It appears that a small body of abouz
tavnte men, clay cutters, employisl in some of the
neighbouring clay pits, unfortunately made their
appearance in the town. These were signalled out
fur attack by some of the zealous riders brought in
by Mr. Dray, being obnoxious on amount of their
very strong partisanship towards Mr. Caleraft, but as
that gentlemen and his friends had retired the even.
ing before, and Mr. Drax's numerous party had it now
all their own way, it seemed needless to meddle with
this handful of men, who offered no mischief until
meddled with, and certainly had as much right
there as clergymen and attornies from beyond and
unconnected with the Borough, who rode in Mr.
Drax's train as a body guard, and were active in the
toffee. The proprietors of the clay works in the
neighbourhood, Messrs. Pike and Mr. Hatherly,
used every exertion to prevent their men coming in
stall, but their liking for the retired candidate, who
is exceedingly popular at Code estate, where these
men chiefly reside, proved too strong. A falsehood
has been propagated that these gentlemen induced
the men to come in.
