Take North Kent, for example. Suppose local com-
mittees were formed at Blackheath, Greenwich,
Deptford, Gravesend, Bromley, Rochester,
C"liamiwich.
tham,Ma idstone, and Tunbridge,sm h committees
might make arrangements to start a second free-
trader as a colleague for Mr. ]lodges. Why, it may
be said with truth that the suburbs of London run
for miles through this division of Kent. What are
Deptford, Greenwich, Blackheath, lewisham,Syden.
ham, and Woolwich, but extensions of the great
metropolis? Who live in those places but men
all more or less relying or connected with
the great centre of the world's commerce -London?
—and all interested in that commercial policy which
gives prosperity to the metropolis and to the other
trading centres of our time. Gravesend might even
be called a eubarb of the metropolis, now that steam
by river and by rail has linked it so closely to towns
Itochester,Chatham, and Stroud, again are large
places holding a vast number of intelligent men able
to appreciate the value of reform ; Maidstone also is
similarly circumstanced, and might surely help in
securing a second free-trader for 'Went Kent. Let a
local man of character and influence be sought; lot
the local committees arrange such un inexpensive
contest that a prudent independent man of moderato
fortune might be justified in accepting an offer to bo
put in nomination, and then it will be seen how far
free-trade has friends in this part of the kingdom. At
hand let the plan he tried. There is a virtue in cou-
rage that ever tells well where courage is on the side
of right. North Warwickshire is another place where
the same plan might be followed. The mere list
of polling places and chief towns in thst division of
our great midland manufacturing county points out
elements of success for free•trade candidates.
Birmingham, Coventry, Castle Bromwich, Cob shill,
Rugby, Nuneaton—surely in all these laces
to say nothing about subscribers to Freehold Land
Societies—there must be reformers enough to gut up
committees, to find candidates, and to conduct an
economical contest at a time like the present, when
the continuance of our present national prosperity
requires each true Englishman to put his shoulder
to the great wheel of political progress.

TIIE NP.WLY-DISCOVERED 0t %NO ISLANDS.—
From a correftpondeuee whick hue taken place between the
Liverpool Shipowners' Association and the Earl of Derby
we perceive that the government of l'eru have officially put
forward claims to the newlyodiscovei“l guano islands in the
Pacific. The chairman of the Shipowners' Association
wrote to his lordship on the 31st suggestinq that stepa
should be taken. consistent with the law of nations, to ob-
tain the benefit of the discovery of those islands for this
country; or, if they belonged to l'eru, that his lordship
would consider the expediency of endt avouring to negotiate
o treaty, under which this country may be enabled to avail
itself, on the most favourable terms, of the guano on the
islands. In answer to their second suggestion the associa-
tion have been infosmed that the attention of the Foreign-
otfice hasbeen directed to the subject.
11111 STOL.—As yet no tory candidate has been
announced, but it is understood that negotiations aro pond-
, mg between the committee and a gentleman largely con-
nected with the tea and East India trade, and who was for-
merly resident in Clifton. Humour, are also current of
lot 3pikbeution, through an M.P. of a neighbouri fotit,•

Mr. Daniel Hayden, of Carrick-on-Suir, hes, "at

Mr. Wands Crosthwaite, one of the most respect-
able and influential of the Dublin merchants, and a
man who has long taken a conspicuous part in the
liberal politics of the city, died last night, and is very
generally and deeply regretted.
Ihe news of the loss of the Birkenhead has pro-
duced a most painful sensation in Belfast, where the
91st Regiment, to which Captain Wright, ands con-
siderable number of the sufferers by that terrible
catastrophe belonged, is now stationed. The pro-
foundest mourning has been spread through the
regiment, and a large portion of the inhabitants with
whom the 91st is extremely popular.
The Galway Vindicator has the following state-

A Captain luglssue, in summand of an lonauei brit, the
Angelica, which was recently struck by lightning, ,ett
foundered in the roadstead of Argostoli, lately arrived IKre,
and, making Admiral Dundas acquainted with the huts
asked Lim to lend the shying apparatus at his comn.4,
with a view to examining the brig bef.sre entleayouria4 to
raise her. The admiral complied with the W;1.11 of tlis
plicant, and also put on board the Scourge the
paratus men to use it, and gave instructions to Lord l%
Kerr, to render any assistance in Lis power Ro rah, tae

A large house in town has recently been granted to the

late 0' Ferrell rule, they were his pets and pro ,r 74, and
Sir Wm. Reid has given them the power they have , long
been struggling to maintain. Independent of the political
question involved by the grant, it weighs heavy on the
public, who are, from want of house, obliged to pay very
heavy rents, and the space in which the new Jesuits' Col-
lege stands, is sufficiently large to erect at lewd lour pod

DEPARTMENT OF PRACTICAL ART.

The following letter has been addreased to the
President of the Board of Trade by the superintendents of
the Department of Practical Art, and it will accompany the
'unanimous estimates for the year :

TO TIM RIONT HON. I. W. TINLEY, X.P., PRESIDENT OP
TNT CONIIII7III OF COUNCIL FOR Timm!, BCC.
Board of Trade, Whitehall, March 10, 18a.
Sir,-1. In entering upon the duties of this new depart-
ment, we venture to submit that a leading principle of its
future management should be the endeavour to make the
department as far as practicable eeltsupporting in all its
branches. We apprehend it will bo found that, on the one
hand, u the department responds to the wnnts of the
public, so, on the other, the public, as individuals, will be
ready to pay to a considerable extent for the educational
advantages which it offers. We think it is apparent that
in the most successful educational institutions in this
country, tho public use them and pay fur the use of them
according to their sense of their value, and thus milder
extraneous aid in great measure unnecessary.
2. The minute of the Board of Trade of 16th February
points to three principal objects as constituting the business
of the new department.
I. The promotion of elementary instruction in drawing
and modelling
11. Special instruction in the knowledge and practice of
ornamental art.

GREECE.

We have received Athens journals of the 27th ult.'
In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies at Athens'.
on the 21st ult., after a short discussion on the indi-
gent situation to which the families of General Niki-
tare and General Yatrakos are reduced, and the ne-
cessity of recommending their case to the attention
of the ministry, M. Commoundourakis said that the
famine with which the country was afflicted, the bad
crops of last year, and the failure of the currants,
had thrown the people into a very critical situation.
A want of bread was general, which proved that
the resources of Greece were limited. Money was
also very scarce, and produce was obliged to be sold
at a very low price. Unless the harvest of next year
should be a very abundant one, it would not repair
all the misfortunes which were now felt. When it
was remembered that the incomes of the proprietors
were not sufficient to procure them the means of
properly cultivating their land, it might be expected
that the famine of this year would have very ex-
tended consequences. A large extent of land must be
left in fallow, and consequently the next harvest could
only be a moderate one. Hut, supposing that it
should be a bad one, the mischief would then be
without bounds, and the treasury would experience
immense losses. Prudence dictated the necessity of
having recourse to immediate measures of relief, and
M. Commoundourakis therefore proposed that the
government should assist the landed proprietors and
the agricultural interests by a loan. M. Lysandre
Vilacti, after examining the difference between the
commercial exports and imports, and observing that
the resources of the country were eaten up by usury,
insisted on the necessity of devising means (or
attracting foreign capital to Greece. Ile supported
the proposition. The discussion was then adjourned.
A letter from Petrels states that, in addition to tho
Poles who had been expelled from Greece, the go-
vernment were devising means to remove the small
number of Italians who still remained there, and
some of them had already received an intimation to
that effect.

RECOVERY OP MI. CHARLES KEAN.—Mr. Charles
Kean, who it will be remembered, was not able to conclude
the performance of King John some time saner, in conse-
quence of sudden and severe indisposition, is now so far
recovered from his late attack as to he able to resume his
professional duties on Eutcr Monday.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.
ALilioniet Abrahnni, the blind black beggarman, who was
brought up with Elias, his companion, umm the charge of
bemiring, was again put to the bar before Alderman
Hooper.
The Alderman said to him—l have been endeavouring to
get you sent back to your own country, as you have ei-
prew.tlynur wish to en there but I find that there are
difficulties that ! cannot control, in the attempt to do what
you wish. You have now been in prison upwards of a
fortnight, and I consider that confinement a sufficient
p•unishmeut for the Wince you have committed in begging.
I now discharge you ; but I caution you against your practice
of begging. The great traffic in the City requires that our
pavement ►hnuld not he encumbered by those who seek
relief for their necessities or fur any other objects. The
orders which ere given are nut at all intended to di injury
to the pourer classes. There is no intention of doing a
violence to humanity in carrying out our regulations ; but
we must not be infested by beggars, and I therefore caution
you against ever appearing lucre again. You have been
separated hum your companion, and you are never likely
to meet with her again, and I advise you to drop that sort
of business altogether.
The defendant—l thank you, my lord. Shull I have my
dog again ?
Alderman Hooper—Yes; and yon shall be sent to the
union, where you will bo disposed of according to the regu-
lations of the house.

LAMBETH.

A fellow, named tiautiders, was charged with fraudu-
lently representing himself w be, and acting as, a pollee-
constable.

Saunders had acted in the Lambeth district, and often
transscted police business with the furce there, although
he stated that he was of the P division, and twu lads were
lately sentenced, one to three and the other to four months'
imprisonment on his evidence. All this time ho was nothing
but a dischar4cd potman.

STAVNOILE O. SIIITUORP.-ACTION FOR Ltittf..

This was an action brought by Mary Staunuro against
Colonel Sibthorp, M.P.
It apprised that plaintiff was a cook in the defendant's
household, and sought to recover damages (or a libel, which
she alleged the defendant had uttered against her, in con-
sequence of which she was unable to procure a situation.
Plaintiff had been ten months in defendant's service, when,
in consequence of some disagreement, she left, and applied
to Cu!. Sitithcrp for a character. Defendant said, Tea,
yes," and left immediately in his carriage. Two persons
were called, who proved that they had written to the Mien-
! dant on the subject of the plaintiff's character, having al-
ready ernzaged her, subject to receiving a satisfactory cha-
meter hum the defen..ant concerning her. Defendant had
stated that the plaintiff was nut of a her habits, and did
not preserve that miler in the kitchen which was necessary
—beyond that no complaint was made of her. Plaintiff'
now stated that her medical man had ordered her to take
brandy and water or gin and water, but abe denied that
she was in the habit of taking either to excess.
On cross-examination plaintiff admitted that she had
played at" all fours " and drank gin with the footman in
the kitchen. She also admitted bringing in spirits from the
City, and having bed repeated visits from friends about
dinner time.

Defendant had pleaded a justification.
On the conclusion of the case for the plaiatiff, Mr. E.

PUBLIC BUSINESS.

Nearly the whole of the morning siting was occupied in
the dincussion of a proviso which Sir De Lacy Evans wished
to introduce into the Poor-law Board Continuance Bill, for
the perpo.e of exempting such prising as have local acts
Irons the restraint of the board u regards the continuance
in office or dismissal of officers. Government opposed the
proviso, and it was rejected, on division, by 98 to 29, and
the bill subsequently .passed.
The house went into committee on the Metropolitan
Burials Bill, and a clause and a half were dismissed,
Sir W. CLAY moving amendments (a proviso), the effect
of which was to prevent burial•gruunda being desecrated by
being built on. He instanced Bunhill Fields, as evidencing
the evil which he wished to obviate.

At this stage,
Mr. DISRAELI said that, as there wu likely to be se
much discuw.ion on this proviso, ho would move that the
Chairman repat progress.
This was accordingly done ; this day at 12 being flied for
the further committal of the bill.
METROPOLIS WATER SUPPLY BILL.

Read I. third time and passed.
GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH (No. 2) BILL.
Read a second time.
NISI FLUBS OFFICERS BILL
Was considered, as amended, and ordered to be read a
third time this day at 12 o'clock.
BETHLEHEM HOSPITAL.
Mr. ANSTEY moved for copies of the seports (with evi-
dence) of the Commis.ioners in Lunacy in respect to Beth-
lehem Hospital.—Agreed to.
The house then (at four) adjourned.
The house resumed at 6 o'clock.
BRENTWOOD CHARITY SCHOOL.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in answer to Mr. Hann-
' CASTLII, explained that he had been induced to recommend
the acceptance of 2,0001. for the 7,0001. due to the Brent-
wood School, the late head-master, by an arrangement
by which the patron agreed to transfer the surplus of the
charity connected with it to the school, in order to increase
its effieitncy.
PATENT-LAW AMENDMENT BILL.
Mr. B. COCHRANE asked the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer whether it was probable that this bill would pass this
session ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER amid the
bill had passed the House of Lords, and stood very early in
the paper for going into committee this evening, and under
these circumstances he thought there was every chance of
its passing.
THE CASE OF MR. EDWARD MURRAY.
Lord STANLEY, in reply to Lord D. STUART, stated
there was reason to believe that Mr. Murray's life would
be saved, and that Sir H. Utiliser and Mr. Moore were en-
gaged in obtaining information to enable government to
satisfy themselves as to his guilt or innocence.

The " Wars of Napoleon" was the piece represented.
The taking of the bridge of Arcole, and the Pith
Brumaire, went off very well, but at the coronation
scene loud hissing was heard. The actor who played
Napoleon then dashed his crown and sceptre to the
ground, amidst the deafening applause of the
audience. The police have ordered the circus to be
closed for fifteen days, and have perpetually inter-
dicted the reproduction of the piece. Tho actor was
sent to prison for twenty-four hours.

ROMAN STATES.
ROME, Arum 8.
Monsignor Berardi, under secretary of state, ar-
rived at Ancona on the evening of the 4th. The
object of his visit has not yet transpired, but it is
hoped that it may be to wind up the Murray case,—a
conclusion which every one is looking for. The
prisoner is row tolerably well, although complain-
ing of some petty acts of oppression. One of these is
that he has not been allowed to see his wife and
child, who left home some time ago on purpose to be
near him in his confinement. Ho has not been per-
mitted to see them, even in the presence of the
jailor or director of police, but he has written to and
had letters from them. Soon after Murray's return
to Ancona he applied to the British consul for some
books, wherewith to while away some of his prison
hours. Mr. Moore kindly selected some most un-
exceptionable English works, and sent them, but the
prisoner was prevented from receiving them by
Monsignor Amici, who promised, however, through
the director of police, to supply him with Italian
works instead. Hitherto he has not kept his word.

The Ofcial Oazette of Savoy has the following
from Tenn, dated the 9th:

The committee named by the Senate to examine the bill
on civil marriage has just, it is uid, declared against the
measure such as it wan voted by the Elective Chamber, and
proposed to subatitute for it the pure and simple
French law. Such is the fruit which reaction will
have gathered from its unreasonable and impolitic
opposition ; it wished to defeat the ministerial measure,
and it has done so to its own cost. Instead of having a law
which would render the unction of a marriage by the
church obligatory, we shall probably have one which, with-
out enjoining on the married couple not to appear at the
altar, will not compel them to do so.

WORSHIP STREET.

Three men, named Bright, Thomas Ere, and
Henry Cos, carters in the service of Mr. Henry Dodd, dust-
contractor, of City-wharf, Huston, were charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with having wantonly and cruelly ill-treated ono
of their maters horses, and thereby caused its death.

Mr. Thomas, the secretary to the Society for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty to Animals, attended to prosecute the ease.
It appealed, from the evidence of Mr. Dodd, that on the
morning of Friday last the defendants were ordered to
proceed, with their carts, to the Imperial Oas Works, at
liaggeratone, to remove three loads of breeze to his pre-
mises; and, shortly after their return, his attention was di-
rected to the condition of the hone driven by Bright,
which he hail lately purchased for 4d1., and which
summed to be suffering frem lock-jaw, and exhibited
indications of extreme agouy, from severe injuries
it had recmtly received about the neck. On
questioning the men upon the subject, the defendant
Bright, aft, r some hesitation, accounted fur the injured
state of the hone by • voluntary admission, that finding
tome iliflieulty in urging it on, after he had loaded his cart,
by the advice and assistance of the other defendants, ho
resorted to the expedient of applying apiece of strong rope,
by mean. of a dip knot round its neck, and having secured
thy opposite end to the tail tamed of one of the other carts,
the hone attached to which wax set in rapid motion by a
vigorous application of the whip, the animal was dragged
forward with its load by main force to the extent of several
yards. An experienced veterinary surgeon was afterwards
called in to examine the horse, which he foetid to be
labouring under Confirmed leek-jaw, occasioned by the
brutal treatment it lied received, which baffled all his
efforts to salidue, and resulted in its death two days after-
wards.
. _

George Camplin, a labourer at the ise works, stated that
he was present during part of the transaction, and obacrved
round the horse's neck a coil of slackened rope, which was
suddenly tightened, by some means, which he was usable
clearly to distinguish, and which caused the animal to
plunge forward in a convulsive manner, but although he
noticed that it was a grey horse, he could not identify either
of the defendants es having taken part in the outrage.
_ _

It having been intimated that there was no other eel
dance in support of the charge,
Mr. Tyrwhitt said that a more wanton or brutal cam of
cruelty had never been brought ander his notice, and he
regretted very saaeh that the matter had not been sooner
placed in the hands of Mr. Thom., who had been thereby
precluded from adopting the requisite means to ensure a
conviction; but, whatever might be his private opinion re-
specting the conduct of the defendant., there was an absence
of sufficient legal evidence to substsatiate the charge against
them, and he bad no other alternative bat to order them to
be discharged.

SPAIN.

MADRID, Vas. 19.
This afternoon at 3 o'clock the Queen held a levee,
' which was numerously attended. Iler health and
spirits are excellent, and she appears to feel highly
gratified with the enthusiastic reception she
received yesterday from all ranks of people,
in her processional visit to the church of,
our Lady of Atocha. The Gazette contains a de- I
crec, granting an amnesty to military criminals of dif-
ferent degrees and a diminution of punishment to
others. It also contains the decree by which the re-
signation of General Ferdinand de Espleta, Captain-
General of the Basque provinces, is accepted, and
Lieut.-General Manuel de Mazarredo appointed in
his place. The Gazette also publishes a decree, of
which tho preamble is as follows:
In consequense of the eenvention agreed ttpon between
King Feelea sf Spain and his Britannic Majesty on the
211th Ma.di 1111* era arrangement was made with
mimes to Wamet eider of the two nations, and a
ef eta barked themand_ petted% sterlingwas acknow-
se being dee ft the doom a sum represented by

interest. The R peetement reserved to itself the
faculty of redeeming dome inscriptions within the first
four yean, at the rate of If pee cent., payable in cash, and
after that period at 60 pee mat., on giving eis months'
notice. The government, oemidering the rise in the value
of Spanish paper in foreign markets, has determined to
make use of this faculty. The capital of 36 millions of
reale, which is necessary for this operation, may be ob-
tained with considerable advantage by the public treasury.
There is also another decree modifying the Bank
of Ban Ferdinand.

ITALY.
ROMAN STATES.

An order hasgiven to the Roman
priests to baptise no more children with the name of
" Joseph," as there was reason to fear that the
popular partiality for the name arose leas from a
c.uliar reverence for the saint or patriarch, than
from regard for the dreaded triumvir Maazini.
