OPENING OF THE WESTERN AREA OF

SI. POLUL*B CATHEDRAL.

At a meeting of the City Sewers Commissioner..
yesterday, the lidless ing letter was read :
" Dean's-yard, Westminster, Dee. 22, 18-111.
Sir,—l am desired by the Dean and Chapter of St. ,
Paul's, in answer to your letter of the Isth of December,
inst., toinforra :on that they intended by the former letter I
to equity that they declined a second couterence with the ,
Commissioners of Sewers—not from the wont of courtesy,
hut frum the conviction that such conference can lead tong
result, until ineasuets are token to enlarge the approaches ..
to the church yard, meaning especially the opening to hod- ~
state-his. MOM and along the course of the street beyond
is, and must be, the teal obstruction to the public panic..
As nothing has been done or proposed to effect this object, ,
they *till decline soy farther meeting. With respect to
your notice of the prosi.ion concerning the removal of the
railing, v.-ttained in the recent act of parliament, it is evi-
dent that it is merely permissive ; the intention of it is, I
that whenever the trustees of the fabric and the dean and
chapter .hall deem it proper to consent to the removal of
the radiant. or soy part ut it, there shall be nu legal impedi-
ment to the measure.
" I em, sir, your most obedient servant,

The Surveyor handed into court a Wan which he
had provided, in pursuance of instructions he had re-
ceived, with reference to the in utter before the commis-
sioners. This gentleman recoininends a line of improve-
ment in the public way at the western end of the cathe-
dral, which, it appears, he thinks may he accomplished by
"setting hack a portion of the railings which inclose the
western area of the cathedral." After defining this line,
the surveyor states, in conclusion, that he has submitted
a line which appears to him to comprehend the least mea-
sure of improvement that the convenience of the !Alit sir

error in 1884 as superior to his, an I that th, throwing open

solved eventually and unonimoasly, "That the sur-
veyor be authorised to seek a etmference with the cathedral
authorities upon the subject, and report the issue of the
same to the court."

SPAIN.

MADRID, JAN. 15.
*The Clamor Publien, the Esperanza, and the 06-
serrador, have been seized.

The neighbourhood of Madrid has recently been
visited by a snow storm, more severe than has been
witnessed for many years. The snow fell for two
days so heavily that all the roads were completely
blocked up. The diligences from Segovia, Santan-
der, Valladolid, Salamanca, Leon, the Asturias, and
Galicia, were all obliged to stop at Guadurama, a
distance of about eleven leagues from Madrid, it
being impossible for them to proceed any further
towards the capital, and so many private carriages
were also stopped there that every house was filled.
Such an unexpected influx of strangers to the place
caused some consternation to the inhabitants, as a
scarcity of provisions begun to be felt, when a sud-
den relief was afforded them. The king had been
overtaken by the storm on returning from a hunting
excursion, and some hundreds of men were set to
cork to clear him a passage through the snow. As
soon as this was effeted, the diligences and other
carriages availed themselves of the circumstance, and
pursued their course to Madrid.

IRELAND.

DIAILIN, JAN. 20.

.1 meeting, convened by the I)ublin Protestant
Aswciation, was held last night at the Rotunda, "to
address the Queen on the dismissal of Lord Palmer-
ston from her Majesty's councils, and the appoint-
ment ut Lord Granville to the office of Foreign Se-
cretary, and to pray that the principles of constitu-
tional liberty, based on protestant truth, might not
he compromised at the dictation of foreign despots,
or those who sympathised with them at home ; and
that those alone be summoned to her Majesty's
councils who were devoted to the principles which
called the house of Brunswick to the throne of
these realms." The chair was taken, shortly after
eight o'clock, by Mr. Thomas It. Thompson, and
the meeting was addressed at considerable length
by the Rev. T. 1). Gregg. Resolutions in accord-
ance with the tones of the requisition were unani-
mously adopted.
The Ship, Chronicle says:
It is asserted, on the authority of a paragraph in the Rat-
'ammo', Gazette, that Mr. Somers will shortly vacate his
seat, being about to accept a government appointment, and
that Sir William Somerville intends offering himself as a
candidate for this borough in his stead. We believe there
i. sot any foundation fur the first part of this rumour, and
that Mr. Somers will come again before his constituents at
the approaching dissolution. As to Sir William Somer-
ville, the truth we believe is, es stated by us in a former
number, that he• has been solicited to stand for the county,
in conjunction with Mr. Jones.
The Cork Examiner says:

It gives uo much pleasure to state that Mr. K. B. Roche,
our county member, has given an order to Mr. Perrot for
the neceuary machinery of a flax mill, which is •o be
erected a little outside the demesne of Trabalgsn, and which
it to be of greater extent and power than the mill now in
operation at Kildinan, and worked by Mr. Deegan. Mr.
Roche has done a vast deal to promote the growth of flax,
and i. determined to do more, from a thorough belief in its
value as a remunerative crop, and from it beneficial effect
apon fanning generally. He and his tenants grew very
n,rarlT 1,000 acres last year. We are also glad to state that
tht kildiban mill is to be worked with increased vigour in
the mune of a short time.

SWITZERLAND.

From the accounts given in the Swiss journals, it
appears that the winter has been very severe in
Switzerland. On the 28th ult. the thermometer
stood at 18 degrees eentigrude below zero at St.
Gall, and at 20 degrees at Appeasell. The lake of
Zurich is entirely frozen over. At Fribourg, the
river Serino is said to be frozen over, except where
it is very rapid. What is remarkable, is that the
cold is said to be less intense on the mountains than
in the valleys; the temperature is milder in the
Grusre than at Fribmrg, and at Altorf than on the
slopes of St. Oothard and neighbouring mountains.

The Piedatontese aa:•tle of the 17th inst. an-
nounces that the Hon. Mr. Ralph Abercromby, En-
voy Extraordinar7 and Minister Plenipotenuary of
Great Britain in ruin, left the night before for the
Hague, where ho is going to represent his govern-
ment.

The Intendant-General of Genoa has issued regu-
lations concerning the refugees residing there. All
"political emigrants" of whatever nation they may
be, are within eight days from the 20th instant to
present themselves at the office of the questorship,
there to declare the time when they arrived at
Genoa, the place of their domicile, whether they
possess the means of existence, and whether they
exercise any trade or pi ofession. All hotel keepers
and proprietors of furnished lodgings are, within 24
hours, to send in the names of all the foreigners who
arrive at or leave their houses. A permit to reside
in Genoa will be furnished to the refugees, in which
the place of their domicile will be mentioned. Thev
will not be permitted to change their domicile with-
out giving notice. They must always carry
their permits about them. Searches will be
wade in hotels and lodging-houses, and all who may
not have conformed to the new regulations will be
arrested. No political reasons are assigned fur these
regulations. The preamble of the decree states that
individuals usurp the quality of respectable emi-
grants, who are people of bad reputation in their own
country, and come abroad to rob.
The two Chambers were, ou the 16th, occupied with
financial discussions.

The Risoryimeuto announces that tho differences

REFUSAL TO PROSECUTE FOR A CRIMINAL

OFFENCE.

Yesterday, at the meeting of the board of directors
of the parish of St. Pancras, Mr. Churchwarden Balsa in
the chair,
Mr. BIRCOIIOIIII, one of the relieving officers, stated that
in conuquence of the refusal of the board to prosecute in
the ease of Eleanor White, who was originally charged with
ill-treating her child, and who has since been remanded on
a charge of murder, he had been sent for by Mr. Tyrwhitt,
the magistrate' who had bound him over under Baines' Act
to prosecute. In coming to this decision the magistrate had
stated that he hod the Monet cue at Tooting, and that of
the Sloane' to back his opinion.

Mr. Coorett could not understand why the parish was to
be put to the expense of prosecuting in this ease. In the case
of Bare, who was charged with murder, the parish of Mary-
lebune was not called upon to prosecute, but the police
were bound over. He contended that the parish had no-
thing to do with the present charge. The nue which they
bruuaht against her, of cruelty to her child, had bean dis-
posed of. lie believed they had been led into this expense
by the voluntary acts of their officer, who had been the
means of bringing the directors of the parish into the
squabbles between the magistrate and the coroner. Baines'
Act, which had been alluded to by Mr. Tyrwhitt, did not
apply in this case lie trusted that u the officer was bound
over to prosecute, the parish would not have to bear the
expense.
Mr. Cool, the vestry clerk, had at a previous meeting
foretold that they would be compelled to prosecute in this
flagrant cue. The inquest had been held upon the child,
and it was only in consequence of the Secretary of State
refusing to give up the body of the mother of the child when
.he was committed on a minor offence that a verdict of
wilful murder was not returned.

Mr. iiRALEY attributed the whole inconvenience to
which they had been put to the disagreements existing be-
tween the officers of the establishment; bad it not been for
this there never would have been en inquest at all, for he,
in presence with his medical friebd In the chair, had seen
the child and it was evident that death was occasioned by
mesenteric disease.

Mr. Binctimoug appealed to the board that he had no
alternative but to prosecute, as ho had been bound over.
Mr. Teumatt could see nothing to justify the board in
fludtug fault with the Alcor in the mac ; Mr. Birchmore
had no alternative than to appear before tho magistrate,
when he sent down an officer (or him.

The perish, therefore, through their officer, wilt be com-
pelled to prosecute in this case, although they came to a
funnel resolution not to do so.

THEY WON'T MEND THEIR WATE.—Parliament-
too et is in such a di.graceful state, and is so full of mud
and 111th, that it really ought to have its name changed to
that of St. Alban's place ; for it prevents the dirtiest par
Bible approach to the Rouse of Commons.—Psesch.

ceivea his annual italary of 4,200 dol.. (about GAL).

the engineers at Portsmouth that volunteers are required
for the steam-veasels fitting for the Arctic expedition, about
to proceed to Wellington Channel, to make further search
for Sir John Franklin and the missing navigators; and k-
unst of the engineers have volunteered for that service.

_ _ _

Caulfield Percy was indicted for having stolen a letter
snd a post-office order for 51., the property of John
Aylieff.
The prosecutor was a gentleman's servant out of place,
and lived at a coffee-house in Dean-street, Soho, where the
prisoner also lived. According to the prisoner's statement
he was the prosecutor's adviser, amanuensis, and confidant,
and it appears that he was aware that the prosecutor was in
ezpectation of a remittance of U. from his hrother-in-law,
who lived near Richmond, in Yorkshire, and consequently
he kept a sharp look-out for the postman. One morning
the letter was delivered, and the prisoner said he had been
waiting for it, and pretended to take it upstairs to the pro-
genitor. He, however, never received it, and on the same
day it was presented at the office in Broad-street, Blooms-
bury, signed " John Aylieff," and that being the name
contained in the letter of advice, it was paid to the person
presenting it. The clerk could not say that the prisoner
win the individual who received the money. The inference
was that the prisoner had stolen the letter, and forged the
prosecutor's name to the order.
The prisoner (shout whom there teemed a great deal of
plausibility and cunning) made a long defence, in the
course of which he mid test the prosecutor was concerned
I in ruing matters with a "sporting prophet," named Tur-
ner' who was iu the service of the Marquis of Salisbury.
He denied having had the letter.
At the request orate jury, tha witness who proved that
the prisoner took up the letter was recalled. He swore
that the postman called out " A letter for Aylieff," upon
which the prisoner said " That's the letter I've hem wait-
ing for," and at once went out as If to go up stairs.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
Mr. Turner sentenced him to nine months' hard labour.

EXTENSIVE INUNDATIONS IN SWITZER-

LAND AND THE UPPER RHINE.

Letters from Beale and Strasburg bring intelli-
gence of a sudden and destructive rise of the Rhine and
the affluents of the Leman. in consequence of the heavy
rains which have fallen in Switzerland and Alsace. A letter
dated Strasburg, Sept. 19, says : The day before yesterday
the waters of the Rhine arose in a most extraordinary man-
ner, and speedily reached 44 feet ober° high-water mark.
They have been steadily rising since, and this morning, at
six o'clock, were 12 feet above the made, and are still ruing.
Yesterday a number of troops were placed at the disposal of
the chief engineer to :mist the population so suddenly im-
perillei. They worked all night, at various points, in
erecting embankments against the flood. The precautions
have been carried on during the day, and just now another
battalion of troops has gone out with flambeau to continue
the work through this sight. In several of our rural com-
munes the tocsin has rung to call the inhabitants togethcr to
close any apertures that might be made in the embankments
by the water.
London, England, 1852-09-22

EGYPT.

A letter from Genoa states that M. Lubbert, ex-
Director of the Academie Royale de Musique of
Paris, had passed through that city on hie way from
Almaden, where he filled an important poet in the
war department. Before his departure, Abbas Pacha
conferred on him the title of general, which (says
the writer of the letter) leads to the belief that he is
to coma on a mission to the President of the Re-

by the visit of Said Pacha. The latter still remained

remain there, as the Viceroy had affixed conditions to
his return to Egypt, to which Said did not appear

THE lONIAN ISLANDS.

The Qwfie (Judie prati_shea the message addressed
on the 4th inn., by the Imd High COOR/MillkloOr. Sir H.
Ward, to the Legislative Assembly of the 'omen Islands.
After expressing his satisfaction at the moderation shown
b the Assembly daring this session, and at the passing of
the electoral law, the Lord High COOURiO6OIIIOr reasanmends
the Assembly to take into consideration the questions re-
lating to the press and to the high polio'. This present
state of the legislation on the press is, he says, such as to
allow of the meet violent attacks upon the fundamental
laws of the state being made with impunit to repress
which he had been obliged to assume ex ;powers
of high police, which course, he added, had obtained the
approval both of the late and present Secretary of State for
the Colonies. Desirous of being freed from the respect-
, sibility of such extraordinary powers, which cannot be
until the law itself *fen better guarantees to the State,
, he proposes that any person wishing to publish a news-
' paper, or to continue one already.in existence, be bound to
deposit 1001. in cash, or else to give security to the amount
of 1601. He further recommends that modifications be in-
troduced in the articles relating to the responsibility of the
editor, seeing that the present writers in the public
men belong to the lowest class. Moreover, he proposes
a new clause to be introduced into the penal code,
enacting that any person exciting to disobedience to the
laws by words or writings, shall be liable to Imprison-
ment and a fine not exceeding 501. As soon as the As.
usably shall have passed these settees the Lord High
Commissioner will divest himself of his extraordinary
powers, and the tribunals shell have full authority
except in case of insurrection. He then adverts to
the modifications in the constitution which ho will
propose as soon as the above measures shall have been
passed—namely : let. Annual, instead of triennial, sessions;
each session to last two months; the Senate, nevertheless,
being empowered to prolong it, if necessary. 2ndly. Power
to be granted to the Senate to modify its present organisa-
tion, and to regulate the responsibility of its memers
3rdly. The modification of the Supreme Council of Justice
by the addition of • third lonian member, thus doing away
with the power hitherto vested in the government of decid-
ing matters when the votes were equally divided. 4thly.
The reorganisation of the lonian municipalities. sthly. A
fortnight,instead of six asps, to be granted for the eonsid,
ration of the Civil List in the first session of every fifth
year. The Lord High Commissioner concludes his menage
with an admission that the rcforms of 1349 were too sud-
den, and a confident hope that the measures proposed will
answer his espectutions.

THE GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS FOR
RIFLES.

BIRMINGHAM, JAN. 21.
Almost the only change to be noticed in the con-
dition of trade here during the week has been the receipt of
a fair supply of orders from the markets of the Mediterra-
nean and the Levant; the merchants trading in that quarter
are becoming busy, otherwise the orders in the hands of the
merchants are:not large, the manufacturers being chiefly
kept going by the factors orders which have considerably
improved of late ; it is with still more satisfaction we are
enabled to announze that all the reports received concur in
predicting that we shall hare more than average demands
for our goods fur the spring trade in the home market. ,
The Pori heads an article on the gun trade, "Combination
of the Workmen." Now there has been nothing in the
shape of combination amongst the men. We have the fullest'
assurance of those who have seat in tenders, that nothing
whatever has occurred out of the ordinary course of busi-
ness; the workmen have so far throughout behaved with
exemplary moderation. Upon the requirement of the
misters themselves the workmen have fixed their prices,
which are only • shade higher than they were last
March—a consideration of not the slightest importance
to the Board of Ordnance or to anybody concerned. The
entire contract now referred to will when given out fled em-
ployment for something like 2,000 men.—The nail makers
at Rowley and Sedgley are unfortunately again on the
strike: the masters having given notice of a reduction in
their wages, amounting to 10 per cent., the men hare re-
solved not to accept it.—An unfortunate oecurreuce has
just taken place at Wordsley the glass-works of Messrs.
Richardson have stopped, by which 150 men have been
thrown out of employment.

DEFENCE OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS.
-- It is said that a commission, emulating of Major
General Carden, of the Royal Engineers ; Colonel Coign-
houn, of the Royal Artillery ; and Mir E. Belcher, lt.N,

the defence+ in the Channel Idsnits.

CHEAP Br.Eit.—Tho agitation for the reduction or
the price of beer is (says • correspondent) sprogresMig

several district meeting. were held, at which the reports
were of the mod tavourable character, sad a practical result
may be shortly auticipatcd.

The tendency of prices of railway shares is still in
favour it a reduction, little disposition to purchase in
the ordinary stocks being shown, whilst tellers are
still offering very freely. In many instances the
present r Ingo is a shade worse than on Saturday,
though borne descriptions arc supported. North British
and York (mil North Midlands are worse.

French sluices have not been much dealt iu, and

impending struggle between the men and masters in other
districts. This, however, was held to be insufficient,

THE STRIKE.

PROCEEDINGS IN LONDON.

It is rumoured that the Employer's Associat ion
have despatchail agents to Belgium for the purpose of en-
deavouring to hire skilled workmen for enant in Eng-
lish shops. The men, who hare been disc, however,
appear to pay little regard to the circumstance, as reported,
.eying that English labour commands double wages in the
Belgium market, when compared with native labour.
In some of the factories termed " closed," the foremen
and apprentices still remain at work, engaged in Sobbing
various jobs; but the whole will be shortly discharged,
in compliance with a resolution of the Employers As-
sociation, calling fur the complete stoppage of the engines.
Large as the number is of the men thrown out of
employment by the unfortunate dispute, it would appear
from the records of the executive council of the Amalga-
mated Society of Engineers, that they are not so numerous
as wax at first anticipated. Many of them have succeeded
in obtaining employment either in the shops of some
small employers who have not joined the master's move-
ment, or in obis which they have executed on their own
account. This has had the effect of considerably reducing
the number of men who would otherwise have declared on
the funds of the society for support.
Towards the maintenance of the men who have been
turned out, a large amount is expected to be derived
from the members of the society who an in work and the
public. Ti.c executive council hays caused circulate to be
sent to every member of the 9,000 in employment, soliciting
one day's pay of their wages towards the relief of those who
hare been dismissed. The tint payment to the men will
be made to-day. The members of the society will be
allowed 10s a week, and the sum that will be granted to
those not enrolled in the society, but who have suffered by
the closing of the works, will be regulated by the amount
of subscriptions received from the public, who have been
appealed to solely on their behalf, all engaged Mthe iron
trade being specially solicited to contribute.
Up to Saturday the votes of 21 branches only of the
society had been received with respect to the grant of
10,0001. from the general fend, towards the establishment
of co-operative workshops. One hundred branches have
yet to express their opinion upon the proposition. Several
men who have been turned out procured employment
on their own account, and the bands of a large arm is
Southwark have subscribed among themselves, and opened
premises suitable for carrying on a large trade, which
they declare they will obtain.

SOUTIIWAIM.

...... .
Harriet Green was charged with stealing a sovereign and
four half-crowns from the person of John Reid, an engineer,
Prioecutor said that on the previous night he had Leen to
a piece in the City, and about halt•past 11 passed over
Blackfriars•bridge, towards Lambeth, where he resided,
when he met with the prisoner, who asked him to treat her
to a glass of grog. Ile accompanied her into a public house
in Webbc-street, where he paid for the grog they had, and
deposited his money, consisting of a sovereign and four heif-
er." • ns, in his left hand pocket. The prisoner walked
alongside of him for a few yards, when he suddenly felt her
hands in his trousers pocket, Lut before he could get hold
of her she ran away. lie instantly felt his pocket and
mimed his annoy, when he pursued her and handed her
aver to a constable, when four half-crowns were found in

her possession.
Mr. Combo—Were you sober at the time she committed
the robbery ?
Prosecutor—Not exactly; but I knew perfectly well what
I was shout.

Mr. Combo—What are you?
Prosecutor—An engineer, sir.
mr, cosube--I suppose you are on the strike, then, and
one of Newton's pupils ? Whose employ were you in at the
time ?
Proweutor.—Mews. Mandalay's, but I can't answer
many questions about the strike or Mr. Newton. All I can
say, the masters have caused it.
Mr. Combo.—You arc allowed something from the Amal-
gamated Society.
Prosecutor.—Yes, I am, sir, as well as my companions,
but it is only a trifle.
' Mr. Combe.- -Well, it will not last long if you drink and
treat the women. All of you had much better return to
your work, u the strike only leads to drunkenness and
distress among your families. This case is an instance of
its evil effects on the workme n. .

Prosecutor.—l merely treated the woman out of charity.
As soon as I caught hold of her, she put her hand to her
mouth, and most likely swallowed the sovereign.
Mr. Cumbe asked her what she had to say to the
charge ?
She replied that oho never robbed the prosecutor, and
that the four half crowns found on her were her own. They
had been given to her by a geutlemmt just before she met

the prosecutor.
Mr. Comte.—Well, you are committed for trial, and you
must try to make a jury believe your story.
The pri.oner, on being removed, " I'll have
Mr. Charnock to jacket prosecutor at my trial, for lie is
telling lies." (Laughter.)
Committed for trial.
