which oppress the poor, without an adequate advan-
tage to the treasury. (This resolution concluded

GERMANY.

The Austrian Gazette says it is reported that
Baron Von Prokesch will proceed u Internuncio to
Constantinople early in October.
A letter from Berlin of the sth says :—" The Duke
of Saze•Coburg hu communicated to the other Ger-
man Courts the reservations he has made against the
intervention of the Diet in tke settlement of consti-
tutional questions relating to his States, and that he
has also invoked the mediation of the two great
German Powers. The Prussian government has
refused to interfere in the matter, and refers the
solution to the Diet itself, which is the supreme cen-
tral authority in Germany."

BADEN.

The Minister of the Interior of the Grand Duchy
of Baden has jest published the following notifica-
tion :—" It is said that the chiefs of the democratic
party, assembled at London, have brought about an
understanding between all the fractions of the party.
At a secret sitting, in which they pledged themselves
to make common efforts, they decided on publishing
an appeal to the peoples of Europe. But before
doing so in all languages, emissaries are to bring
special printed orders to all the leaders on the Con-
tinent. These facts are made known to the police
authorities of the Grand Duchy, in order that they
may redouble their vigilance."

LONDON COFFEE AND EATING HOUSE-

KEEPERS' ASSOCIATION.

Yesterday evening a number of the members of the
London Coffee and sating House keepers' Association es-
gambled at a festival held at the Freemasons 'l' . The
immediate object of the meeting was to present a testimonial
to Mr. Yeats', their late president, as a mark of the estima-
tion in which his services were held by the society. About
forty members of the trade sat down to a very seen-arranged
and abandsat entertainment; Mr. atkeit, of Bishopsgate-

street, the president, in the chair.
No particuler reference was made to the objects of the
institution, which were well known to its supporters then
present ; bat it may be stilted that owing to the
steady sad persevering efforts of the secretary and other
officers of the Association, not only are a number of pensi-
oners who have been connected with the trade,andlthe widows
of other., comfortably supported by the annual subscriptions
of the members, but a large sum has been funded, and in
every way the institution reflects great credit os its origi-
nators and supporter.. In the course of the ' g the tes-
timonial to Mr. )(rates (which consists of a handsome tribute
to his exertions as president and vice-president of the
society, emblesoned on vellum and placed is a gilded
frame) was presented to him by the chairman, with an ap-
propriate address, to which he responded in a manner
which called forth a strong cap nof feeling on the part
of those present. On the whole, the gathering of last night
was characterised by the utmost cordiality, sad every
desire was 'inhibitsu to promote the future prosperity of a
very meritorious institution.

Mr. A3I2IIITON said, one would @appose, from the course

Mr. Pittman said he coati almost have wished that his
friend Alderman Wire had not bre/sibs the motion fortes/dr
but haviag done so, he (Mr. Phillips) thought that the
court would be guilty of • great dereliction of duty if they
did net cony the address of coagrwslation to the foot of

every nerve to promote the greatness and glory of their
country.

proporned as addeudams to the motion impressive of the regret
of the oou that the early prosecattom of the war by the
Itinistry hail not bees isomdsated with more vigour and
ability. (Hear, hear.)
Deputy Lore ebaracteesed the motion as indiscreet, ill-
timed, and unfortunate. The discussion would have the
effect of dispiriting the army. If an alderman were to
come forward on every ocession of a victory, the court
would have addresses without end, end the alderman
honours without number. (Laughter.)
Deputy STIVZ.II hoped the court would be unanimous
la carrying the motiom.
Alderman Winn having replied, the amendment was pat
and negatived, there being 8 for and about 60 hands bald
up against it.
The original motion was then serried, amid much cheer-
ing.
A committee, consisting of a MOW from each ward, was
appointed, and they immediately retired to prepare the
address.

NICOLAIEFF AND ITS DEFENCES.

The uaeapested arrival, on the Inoralng of the 26th, of

THE BLACK SEA EXPEDITION.

Ockschakow, whither the allied fleets are stated in
the telegraphic despatch to have gOO% is a port of a
certain degree of importance, on the north side of the
estuary of the Dnieper, opposite Binburn, 50 miles
west of Cherson and 190 north by east of Constanti-
nople. It is considered the key both to the Bog and
the Dnieper. It was taken by storm by the Russians
in 1788, and has since belonged to them.

A letter from Copenhagen says :—" The King, on
the refusal of the Hereditary Prince to sign the new
constitution, gave him a certain period to think the
matter over ; and it was not until after the Prince, on
the expiration of that period. had repeated his re-
fusal, that his Majesty removed him from the com-
mand of Zealand and the other Danish isles, as well
as of the army."
Other letters say that the banishment of Prince
Ferdinand from the capital—should he persist in his
refusal to sign the new constitution—le spoken of.
Rumour even assigns to him a forced place of reel-
denco—vM., the fortified city of Frederieia.

TEE BOILER EXPLOSION AT WALKER.-THE

INQUEST.

Mr. Reid, the coroner for the district, opened en
inquest at Welker-on-the-Ty as es Tuesday afternoon, on
the bodies of the bens moan killed by the boiler explosion
at Walker Iron Works on the previous day. The only wit-
less, examined wee William Livingstone, who bad the
superietendence of the eosins at the factory. Hassid that
the boiler t►at exploded had been at work somas years, but
had a thorough overhaul, with the whole of the machinery
in the yard, in June lest. Itbad two safety valve", and had
a float, with index, to show the engines= how much
water there was in it at any time. The engine was high
pressure, and the boiler was pressed 33 pounds to the square
inch, its maximum was fifty. The boiler and valves
were cleaned oat on Sunday last, and the engine
had been at work four hours and a half when the
explosion took place. He saw the index at siren
o'clock, and it denoted that there was a sufficiency of water
then in the bJiler, end the quantity of water should not
have been exhausted to have moused the explosion at Wi-
lmot ten. The supply water was heated in a cistern before
it was put into the boilers, m that no cold water entered
them. In answer to a question put by the coroner, he said
that he could not account for the boiler flying from its seat
if it had not been deficient in water ; at the sari time he
could not dispute the word of the 'asinine's, that a short
time before the expinion he examined the index, and found
that the boiler bad a sufficient supply. The inquest was
adjeurned for a week, the comer stating that at the next
meeting he would procure the envies. of scientific gentlemen
to assist him with the evidence.

Two SADLY EVENING.
The gold mining shares remain quite neglected.
Of the entire list of the Australian and Calitornian
Gold Mining Companies which arose during the spe-
culative period of 1852-3, the shares of only two stand
at present as high aa sa. to 10s. per share of li. paid.
In most cues sellers could scarcely realise more than
half-a-crown per share, so depreciated have these,
securities become, owing to their general ill success
and laxity of management—to use no stronger term.
Active steps are apparently about to be adopted
by the sufferers from the Australian Cordillera Gold
Mining project.

the government is about to enter into with the Bank
for the regulation of financial affairs, will allow it to

fact, that the Minister of Finance has declared to M.
de Rothschild, as well as to the Baron de Bins, who
was carrying on negotiations on account of M. Pefi
reire, that he could not come to any decision until
the Bank had executed the operations proposed to it.'
The negotiations with these gentlemen may, there-1
fore, be considered as broken off."

GENERAL SIMPSON'S GRAMMAR.

mud, the work that has to be performed, from this reason as
weU as the great distaste) that the stones base to

eulty." The first clause of the sentence Is tolerably clear.
Bat what direct connexion is there between " the work that

Sebnitete the little weed "is" gem this bettor phrase, and
the emission vanishes; bet, as the mounts* stands, the
General has made it a " work" of " great labour and diffi-
culty "to fathom his own meaning. Again, as regards
style; in the fourth paragraph, after speaking of
an explosion by which an *Meer and nineteen
men were wounded the Commander-ia.chief says:—
" I ordered an ince:Option to be made, and from the
report I have received the origin was from the explosion of
a hidden fowls., a number of which have been dug up is
various mrts of the town and batteries." "From the re-
port," Ike.. was "from the explosion of a hidden imagoes,
a number of which"— lisle is an elegant collocation.

- -

The following are extracts from the local journals :
The small-pox still continues among us in this city, in
St. James, Manchester, and 004 or two other places. The
type remains, we are happy to say, comparatively mild ;
and in extent is greatly limited, in comparison with what
might have been expected. The measles are prevailing at
Falmouth.

is said, has been discovered in Jamaica; but
although we have given insertion to two or three para-
graphs on the subject, we have not been able to obtain pu-
de' or satisfactory information of the fut.
The weather remains fair, and generally masking, by no
means so sultry u It often is at this period of the year.
Occasionally showers yet more cool the air end lay the dust,
ase does even while we write.
With the exception of the presence of the small-pox, the
general health is good.
De Cordova'. Mercantile Intellsgencer, contains the
following remarks on the commercial condition of
the island :

The business done in imports since our last has been
almost solely restricted to operations in breadstuffs—the
continued scarcity of native vegetables having created a
very good inquiry for the former. Prices, however, have
not been as well supported as would have been the case
had receipts been on a less liberal scale. This remark
applies more especially to dour and meal ; of rice
there had been little imported previous to yesterday,
when a rather considerable cp.:antity of Bengal was re-
ceived. With regard to dry and pickled fish, the
market is just now greatly depressed and overstocked.
There are at present four entire cargoes in importers'
hands, with portions of previous receipts; whilst the pre-
valence of small pox in the city, and the fact that the
peasactry, nom the scarcity of ground provisions, are
obliged to purchase imported bread stuffs to the partial
exclusion of fish, affords but little probability that this
description of food will enter largely into consumption
for some time to come. The produce market as regards
sugar is unsteady and depressed. Prime have fallen rather
considerably under our last quotations. The decline is
attributed to tho large supply at market and the cessation
of the export demand. Rum has been rather better sup-
port. d. Coffee and
_pimento are both very *cam and
hardly procurable. The provincial papers are silent on
the subject or the weather, but we believe we may state
that the rains are not so general nor continuous as they
were when we went last to profs.

On Saturday Mr. William Baker, the coroner,
held a protracted investigation at the Red House Lunatic
Asylum, Cambridge-heath-road, Bethital.green, touching
the death of William Cork, aged 43, a pauper lunatic, who
had died in that institution from severe injuries which he
had received from the violence of two other patients.
William Davis, a keeper, said that on Thursday after-
noon, about four o'clock, witness heard the keeper Green
calling Murder," and on going down stairs into the gar-
den he discovered two of the lunatics (Price and Nye)
holding the deceased on the round. One was kicking him,
and the other was striking him with his lists. Green, the
keeper, was near the deceased, and was lying on the ground
insensible, and bruised about the head. The deceased was
seemingly in a fit, and when witness first reached the spot
the two lunatics said, If it had not been for our assistance
Green would have been murdered by Cork. Mr. Miller,
the risident surgeon, was called, and pronounced the de-
ceased to be dead. The keeper, Green, was carried Into the
house, and recovered after a quarter of an hour had elapsed
and stimulants were administered. His left eye was much
swollen and blackened. Witness had great difficulty in
pulling the enraged lunatics off the deceased.
James Green said that he had been keeper in the asylum
17 years, and that the deceased had been under his care
during the time he was an inmate. Deceased had often
asked witness for the keys as he wished to get out, and fre-
quently tore up his clothes, also having a propensity for
waling articles from the other patients. On Thursday
afternoon last witness had charge of- the deceased and two
other lunatics. The deceased suddenly turned round and
struck witness on the side of the head and tripped him up
by the keels, whereupon the deceased fell upon witness and
struck him in the face four times. Witness called "Mur-
der," and afterwards became insensible. Witness had suf-
fered considerably from the bruises on the bead and loins
from the violence of the deceased, and would have been
killed but for the timely aid of the two patients.
The witness, in answer to the jury, stated that he was 73
years of age, and usually had charge of about 20 patients.
There were 620 insane persons in the asylum at the pre-
sent time.

The Coroner said it was a marvellous thing that events
of such a tragical nature were not more prevalent in such
asylums. lie had not been c►llcd into that establishment
for two years, which was a great proof of the excellent
manner in which the institution was conducted.
After some consultation the jury unanimously returned
a special vstiliet, reciting the frets.

The rates of money remain unchanged. There
was some demand on the settlement of the several
accounts in the Stock Exchange, but it was inopera-
tive on the general market, which is too well sup-
plied to be affected by any partial influence. There
le, however, no further relaXation of terms, nor eon
such be well expected.
The South Devon Railway Company are about to
convert 1150,0001. of their debenture debt into pre-
ference stock at 4 per cent., a measure which is
generally received with favour. It is noticed that
should the market continue favourable for the opera-
tion, the amount may be capitalised at more favoura-
ble rates, and thus the entire debenture debt may be
reduced to an average interest not exceeding the
ordinary dividend of the company. A similar move.
ment is to progress in other companies.
At Arbroath there is a failure of a firm connected
with the flax trade. The liabilities are stated at
10,0001. to 17,0001., and the assets are expected to
realise 12s. or 13a. in the pound. The loss will fall
chiefly on houses at Riga, and other parts along the
southern shores of the Baltic.

The imports of specie and bullion this week have
again been important, comprising the following
amounts: By the Europa, from New York, 404,000
dole. ; by the Thames, from the West Indies and
Mexico, 1,388,840 dole , or 277,8001., of which
988,803 dole. were in silver, and 400,237 dole. in
gold; by the Wycliffe, from Portland Bay, two
packages of gold due', worth 3001. or 40W.;
by the Tyne, from the Brazils, 1,00 W.; by the Rat-
tler, from Hobart Town, 12,0001. in gold ; by the
Franklin, from New York, 600,000 dollars, of which,
however, only 230,000 were for London; by the
London packet-ship from New York, 100,000 dollars
in American gold; and by the Tay, from the Brazils,
34,993/. The Benjamin Heap° has also arrived off
the coast with 30,000 ounces of gold from Port
Phillip. The total value of these imports may be
stated at no less than 800,000/.
The exports, on the other hand, have been tar
from large. The shipments direct from London
during the week ending Thursday, are stated as fol-
lows in the Custom-house return :--Silver coin—To
the Mauritius, 3,600 ounces. Silver ban—To Rot-
terdam, 9,000 ounces. Gold can—To Sydney,
2,0601.; to the Mauritius, 8,0001.; to the Cape and
Calcutta, 13,[001. This gives a total of 14,300 on.
of silver and 21,9601. in gold, forming en aggregate
value of 23,8001.
The elipments from the outports comprise
13,010!. by the Eliza, for Port Phillip ; 12,330/. by
the Manan, for Sydney ; about 12,000/. by the
China, for Adelaide ; and 21,2001. by the Heirs-

The impulse towards emigration appears to be
working among the Swedes almost as powerfully as
upon their southern neighbours. The Gotheborga
Mandela och SAfarts Tidning has the following:—
Emigraau to the United States of North America arrive
here almost daily from the interior. It is now quite com•
mon to see a whole train of waggons closely packed with
household gear and children moving through our streets,
followed by the men and their wives on foot. Some of

very inactive, and Monday's quotations were supported
with difficulty. The receipts of American Flour have
again been large (25,710 barrels having been received up to
last evening). At the decline noted on Monday last there
was a good demand for this article ; the generality of holders,
however, were no: sellers at the reduction.

MINCLNO-LANE.-THIS DAY.

St:GAIL—The character of the week es, that the quantity
offered in public ,ale has exceeded the demand, and neither
speculators nor the trade would give the extreme,
prices of last week; and, in some instances, im-
porters have submitted to Gd. to Is. decline; yet
Importers have been very firm, and bought in or withdrawn
the bulk of the public sales, so that quotations cannot be
generally la. lower. The refined market is quoted rather
dearer, the market being bare of goods. Grocery lumps,
lair to fine, 47a. to 4118.6 d.

TURKEY.

The Austrian Lloyd states that a customs treaty
for three years has been signed between the Austrian
and Turkish governments.
A letter from Constantinoplestates that the Turkish
government has adopted the basis of the treaty of the
Sanitary Congress of Paris, and has decided on organ-
izing its quarantine system according to European
ideas.

LIVERPOOL AND TILE AUSTRALIAN " DIGOINS."—
ing to the recent discoveries in the auriferous districts
of Australia the passenger traffic from Liverpool to the
ports of Sydney and Melbourne has increased conaiderahly,
and bids fair to be a profitable Source of income to the
Liverpool shipowners. A number of large sailing vessels
which have latterly been comparatively idle are sow in the
various graving docks, undergoing repairs and alterations,
with a view of being used for the Australian passenger
traffic service. At present emigranta arrive in Liverpool
more quickly than they are carried nut, in consequence of
the number of ship', being less than the demand requires.
A vessel will sail on the Pith with upwards of 1100 emi-
grants from the government depot at Birkenhead. The
gold fever is affecting persons in respectable positions of
life at Liverpool, and many are preparing to bid adieu to
that port.

IMPORRANT FROM TUSCANY.

The Piedmontese Gazette gives the following intel-
ligence, without date : " A decree of the Grand
Duke of Tuscany constitutes the government oa
the same basis as before 1848. Tho constitu-
tion and civic guard arc abolished. The ministers
are henceforward responsible to the Grand Duke ;
the Council of State is separated from that of the
ministers. The communal law of 1819 and the law
on the press are to be revised.

GERMANY.
A telegraphic despatch from Frankfort-on-the-
Main states that the Federal Diet has issued a
friendly monition to the Senate of that free city,
reminding it that by the Concluding Act of Vienna
Frankfort is constituted a Christian state, and must
so remain. The Diet fears that in the new constitu-
tion now under discussion too much may be conceded
to the Jews.
