the third annuity of the Chinese indemnity.
As these two sums will not allow of the construc-
tion of railways and the carrying -oat of other
works of public utility, I do not doubt that the
Corps Legislatif will not refuse to vote the means
for the execution of works of incontestable utility
by the temporary establishment of any surtax on
two articles of extensive oonsumption—namely, by

an augmentation by 10 centimes per kilogramme
of the duties on salt, which would produce
33,000,000 francs. The trades which make use of
salt as a principal manufacturing staple would be
freed from any complementary dues in order
to place them in a position to withstand foreign
competition. The reduction in the sugar duty begins
to have its effect. Nevertheless we should con-
tinue to collect a duty of 42 franca, which would
include the payment of the decimes. Thus
sugar would still enjoy half the reduc-
tion of the duty which was formerly ef-
fected. The temporary augmentation of the
sugar duty would produce about 29,000,000 fr.
The extraordinary receipts would thus be
130,000,000fr.,and might be 150,000,000 fr., by add-
ing the credits unemployed in 1862, which would
form more important amounts than those em-
ployed in 1861 and 1862 for extraordinary works."
M. Fould employs in the regulation of the
budget of 1861, the 25 millions of the extraordi-
nary debt due by Spain to France, which it appears
will shortly be settled, and the 10 millions forming
the second annuity of the Chinese indemnity.
If these resources should not be sufficient, 30
millions would be added by commencing to levy the
_ _

two temporary surtaxes on sugar and salt from
July, 1862.
In conclusion, M. Fould states that the ordinary
budget of 1863 will be balanced by the surplus reve-
nue of the ordinary budget, and by other resources
which would be sufficient for the national expendi-
ture. There would still ramekin the deficit, which,
however, would not only cease to increase, but
would soon diminish.

BRocEtu? RENTS.

Alderman Blown then presented& petition of certain sworn
brokers of the City of Loudon and members of the Stock
Exchange, praying for an abolition of the annual rent paid
by such broken.
This motim gave rim to a rather warm and lengthened
discussion.

PRISON.

The Gaol Committee made a report to the court in re.
Terence to this " n, in which they recommended that •
governor should be appointed at • salary of 2001. per
annum, with residence, coals, gas, to., but that the apv
pointment should be made upon the condition that he should
not expect any retiring allowance, in the event of the office
being abolished in oonsequence of the altered state of the law
relating to debtors that he should not hold any other once
either civil or military, that he should constantly reside in
the prison, and not sleep out of it a single night, without
the consent of the visiting magistrates, and that he should
make a monthly return of all sums of money received by
him from attendee and other sources contributing to the
import of prieonen confined in the gaol.
The **Pod was agreed to, sad it was referred back to the
committee to be carried Into execution. The committee
was also empowered to take into consideration the question
of what alterations should be made in the prison consequent
upon the great decrease in the number of prisoner; confined
for debt under the operation of the recent statute.
COSTS OP PIOSICIMONS.
- -

The General Purposes Committee made a report in refer.
enoe to the disallowance by the Treasury of the sum of 4501.,
which had been paid for following to Australia and bringing
back to this country a solicitor named Hughes, who ab•
soonded with a large amount of trust money that had been
confided to him. The report stated that the committee
bad consulted the City solicitor upon the point, and he wu
of opinion that the Treasury was justified in refusing to pay
this mosey out of the Consolidated Fund, as that fund was
only applicable for the costs of prosecutions, and not for
the coat of apprehending criminals.
The report was speed to.
Alderman Swum' was then about to make another motion
in reference to the subject of broken' rents, when an hon.
member suggested that there was no court, and upon the
aldermen present being counted it was found that there
was not a sufficient number present, and an adjournment
herefore at once took place.

IN THE PUBLIC THOZOUGHTAIEB.

and traders of St. vary-at. Hill, complaining of the ol*truc.
tines that were caused in the public thoroughfaree iu that
neighbourhood by fish carts and barrows attending Billings.
gate-market.
Some little discurrion took place upon this matter, during
which the very great inconvenience and annoyance to the
inhabitanta from the cause complained of were admitted,
but Alderman Beeley expressed his opinion that a great
deal of the annoyance might be got rid of by additional
police regulations. Alderman Wilson, however, said that
if.the honourable member were to attend the Police Com-
mittee and see the number of drivers of vehicles who were
summoned by the police and fined for obstructing the
different thoroughfares, he would be satisfied that nothing
could be done tuilela additional powers were given to the
magistrates, and ho begged to inform the court that the
Police Committee were preparing a bill to be submitted to
parliament, after it had received the sanction of the corpo-
ration, to effect that object. (Rear, heir.)
The petition was ultimately referred to the General P.
poops Committee.

THE 1/SOULAI7ONB AFFECTING THE CITY BROKERS.
Alderman Fungus presented a petition signed by a great
number of the leading colonial end other brokers carrying
on their business in the City of London, praying that the
admission of broken by the Court of Aldermen might be
discontinued, together with the rules and regulations affect.
leg them that were at prawn established. He said that be
believed the court would agree with him that the questions
involved in the prayer of the petitioners were of too much
importance to be discussed at once by the court, and he
should therefore move that the petition be referred to the
General Purposes Committee, to examine into the whole of
i the mattersinvolved in it and make a report thereon to the
court.
Alderman WILSON seconded the motion, which was
carried unanimously.

Clarks Pugh, tailor, wage charged with unlawfully
woueding Diana Mason, by cutting her throat, with intent
to murder her, on the '2sth May, 1861, at Wavestor.

Mr. Beat prosecuted ; Mr. Powell defended the prisoner.
The facts of this awe were rather extraordinary. Mason
and the prieoner had been living together, but the latter
being of a hasty and jealous disposition had frequently
quarrelled with the girl, who had consequently broken off
the connexion. On the '2sth May she was in her bedroom,
when be entered and tried to induce her to live with him
spun, but she resolutely refund, and on his offering threats
she sent a female acquaintance to fetch a policeman. Before
the messenger, however, had reached the street, she
heard cries of murder, and running back to Mason's
room found that the prisoner had cut her throat.
He had seized her by the hairjand, holding her head between
his knees, had repeatedly cut at her throat with a razor,
inflicting several cutson her face, neck, and throat. Having
done this, he drew the weapon across his own throat and
indicted a fearful gash, completely severing the gullet. Both
the bleeding wretches wero carried off together to the
Worcester Infirmary. The girl recovered in • few weeks ;
but the life of the prisoner hung literally by • thread foe
some time. Hie throat bad been sewn up, and by the
skilful attention of the surgeon at the hospital he was at
' length restored, at the end of about three months, KM-
ciently to be taken before the magistrates, b whom he was
committed for trial. the newer, is nos a miracle.
He now appeared in tolerable health, but mach affected by

A meeting of 300 popular delegates was held here I
to-day in the Paganini Theatre. A great crowd
assembled. Garibaldi, who had accepted the pre-

entering the building. In his speech he said :—" I
am happy to preside at this meeting of the repre-
sentatives of the great Italian family. I deplore
the absence of the representatives of those pro-
vinoes still excluded from our union." Garibaldi
took an oath to deliver those provinces, and ex-
horted the people to concord and the union of the
forces of the nation in the same manner as the
faeces are bound together. " Then," he con-
tinued, "we shall vanquish all tyranny and ex-
tend freedom beyond the Peninsula to every en-
slaved people."

Contradictory despatches have been received of the
evacuation of Nashville by the Confederates and
its occupation by the Federal troops under General
BnelL

The New York Times credits the news. The
New York Herald thinks that Nashville is virtually
evacuated, and that no stand will be made there,
but that a battle may occur in its vicinity.
The Tribune says :—" The Confederates under
Generals Johnston, Pillow, and Floyd, have
stopped twelve miles north of Nashville, and are
preparing to make a desperate fight for that city."
The reported evacuation of Nashville is generally
credited in New York.
The New York Tribune does not think that the
governor of Tennessee will return to the union.
The Memphis Journal predicts that Columbus
will have to be abandoned.

The Cincinnatti Gazette states that 3,000 of the
rebels taken prisoners at Fort Donnellion had asked
to be enrolled iu the Union army.
It Is stated that no opposition was offered to the
Union army on Cumberland River.
The President has taken military possession of

Jefferson Davis was inaugurated at Richmond

THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN PRUSSIA.

The late cabinet of Prussia was composed of
men of different political parties. The ministers
Auerswald, Schwerin, and Bernuth were liberals ;
Messrs. De Roon and De Bernstorff represented
the royal mind rather than the majority of the
chamber; and the same may be said of M. Von
Der Myth, a relic of the former Manteuffel cabinet.
The Cotoune Gazette does not apprehend any
scrim.' consequences from the retirement of the
ministry ; but other journals take a different view,
sod speak of a dissolution of the Chamber as
impending.

THE REPORT OF M. FOULD ON THE
CONVERSION OF THE FOUR-AND-A-
HALF PER CENT. RENT= AND OBLIGA-
TION TRENTENNAIRES.
PARIS, MARCH 10.

The 3foniteur of to-day publishes the report of
M. Fould on the conversion of the Four-and-a-
Half per Cont. Reute and Obligations Trentennaires
into Three per Cent. Rente. M. Fould states that
602,575 obligations have been presented for conver-
sion out of a total of 675,160 issued. The
amount of Four-and-a-114f per Cent. Rente which
has been converted is 131,250,000 fr. There still
remains 42,893,750 fr. unconverted. But Rentes
are held as dowry, or by minors, persons deprived
of their civil rights, and others, which by legal ob-
stacles are kept iu a state of almost forced immo-
bility. M. Fould estimates the amount of these
Rentes at 30,000,000 fr.
The report concludes as follows :—" The grand
object of obtaining the consolidation of the public
debt is therefore attained. The result will allow
• diminution of the floating debt by more than
155 millions, and afterwards the preparing of
measures for causing the remainder of the Four-
and-a-Half per Cent. Route to disappear."

THE PROVVEDIMENTO COMIHTTEM.
GENOA, MARCH 9, Evrzinca.

The committees of tho Provvedimento held •

said :—" The presence of Garibaldi among u. will

the programme of which is the execution of the
plebiscite of the 20th October. We are with the
government, as long as it wishes, like us, the unity
of our fatherland, which we will strive to obtain by
legal means, with Rums for our capital." (Loud
applause followed this speech.)
The report of the proctAing sitting was then

BOW-STREET.

Hugh Morris was placed at the bar, on remand, charged
with having caused the death of Edward Leigh.
It will be recollected that the deceased and the defendant
were partaking of refreshments together at the Somerset
Hotel, when they commenced playing with knives which
they bad been using. Unfortunately, the defendant inflicted
• wound in the abdomen of his companion. Surgical aid
had to be called in, Leigh lingered fora few days, and then
died. A coroner's inquest had since been held, and a verdict
of " Accidental Death " had been returned.
Inspector Brimbecombe having informed Mr. Carrie of the
result of the coroner's inquest,
Mr. Carrie said be could hardly see how such a verdict
could be returned.
Inspector Brimbacombe informed the magistrate that the
surgeon who attended the deceased was not present.
Mr. Carrie wished to know the exact cause of death.
Mr. Dunn, the surgeon, said inflammation of the bowels,
brought on by a wound which be heel received.
M r. Corrie—lnflammation of the bowels caused by stabbing.
He thought it would be his duty to send the ddendant for
trial. He could not see bow be could do otherwise. Two
men in a drunken fit commence playing with knives, and
although the unfortunate man whose death bad been
brought about by it was as much to blame as the prisoner,
yet that did not acquit him of the blame. Under all the cir-
cumstances, he should send the cue to the sessions, but he
would admit the defendant to bail.
The depositions were then made out, and the defendant
was fully committed to take his trial for manslaughter.
Two men, named Apra and Conner, were charged with
passing counterfeit coin.
The first-mentioned primmer went into a shop in Holborn
to purchase a necktie, and tendered a half-crown, which
was fortunately discovered before be left the shop to be
bad. Ayres was afterwards seen in company with the
other prisoner, and shortly afterwards Ayres entered the
shop of Mr. Hoare, in King-street, Holborn, and haring
eked to be served with some shirt collars he again tendined
halls-crown. Mr. Hoare saw at once the coin was bad, and
told the prisoner so. Conner, who was with him, said it
was not, bet bevies slightly bent the coin Mr. Howe re-
turned it to Ayres, who left the shop ; but as Mr. Hosea

THE POULTRY SHOW AT THE CRYSTAL

PALACE.

The winter poultry show, which opened to-day at
the Crystal Palace, will be considered as extremely satis-
factory by the amateurs of tbis species of production. The
exhibition includes of Cochin China fowl, 83 pens; of
Brahma Pootra, 19 ; Dorking, 178 ; Spanish, 79 ; game
fowl, 184 ; Hamburg, 95 ; Polish, 31; Malay, 11; other
distinct breeds, 26 ; bantams, 92 ; geese, 13 ; ducks, 69 ;
ornamental, 6 ; turkeys, 10 ; pheasants, 19 ; making alto-
gether 915 pens. Of pigeons there are 277 ; and of rabbits,
120 ; making a total of 1,312.

The number of pens is not only large, bat the aspect
and character of the birds is very superior. The Cochin
China collection is large and good, as is likewise the Brahma
Pootra stock. The Dorking' are in great force, sod are
exceedingly well developed. Of the Spanish breed the pre-
sent collection i 3 the finest ever seen in the Palace. The
different varieties of game birds are well represented, and
with their scintillating plumage and martial bearing they
well sustain those characteristics which made them the

emblem of the god of battles in the ancient days. The
gold and silver pencilled and the gold and silver spangled
Hamburg' will amply repay a close inspection. There is
• magnificent display of bantams. The oollections of polo
I and turkeys are not large, but the,birds are:fine as individual
specinaima. Oa tba alba( he the dada are aumagroaa,

Dent. The pheaseats are, however, the birds which will
probably excite most attention from those who only wish to
gratify the eye. The pigeons are of all shapes, sizes, and
colours. The collection of rabbits is the largest that has
ever been exhibited in the Palace. They are generally
fed up to an enormous size. One has attained the enormous
weight of 1441b5., and another has a length of ear extending
to Lt 3 hales.

The Reischrath, it appears, will be prorogued
on the 20th, and meet again next May. The pro-
vincial diets will sit three months, from January to
March. The new law upon the press will be sanc-
tioned immediately after the prorogation. It
seems that an amnesty for political offences, includ-

ing those of the press, throughout the whole of the
empire, will be proclaimed on the Empress's birth-
day.
A despatch from Venice states that a statute for
Venetia has been submitted to the Emperor. There
is to be a Diet composed of fifty members, chosen
by direct election, and naming their own president,
and subject to the ratification of the Emperor. The
executive power will be composed of thirteen mem-
bers, nine of whom will be chosen by the Diet and
four by the government. The Diet will have the
right to revise the statute.

BANK OF BRITISH NORTH AMERICA.

(THIS DAY.)

Ilia afternoon, the half-yearly meeting of the
Bank of British North America was held at the offices in
St. Helen's-place, Mr. J. J. Conine in the chair.
The following report was read and adopted :—" The
result of the last harvest in Canada his been on the whole
satisfactory, although not equal to the anticipations which
were at one time entertained. The markets in this country
for the two great staples of British North America,
viz., grain and timber, cannot be reported as favourable ;
while the markets in the United States continue to be in-
juriously affected by the civil war. On the other hand,
that war has led to a considerable immigration into Canada,
and even, in some instanced, to the removal to British territory
of manufacturing establishment, heretofore carried on in the
United States ; while an increased proportion of the pre-
date of the Western States, which was formerly carried to
New York, has latterly been diverted through Canada.
There is reason to anticipate that them advantages will
remain with the colonies, even after the troubles
which have led to them shall have pulsed away.
' On the capital employed in the colonies, the return for the
peat year has been fairly remunerative, and the
business has been, happily, characteriaed by almost
entire immunity from bed debts ; but there is still *consi-
derable portion of the funds of the bank for which safe
and profitable employment has not been found at the
branches, and which the directors, from motives of pru-
dence, have deemed it advisable to retain in London, not-
withstanding the low rates of interest obtainable here.
As anticipated by the directors in the last re-
port, there has been a gradual improvement in the
business of the branch in Victoria, Vancouver. After
a full examination of the accounts to the 30th September,
and a careful estimate of the probable results of the business
of the bank for the remainder of the year, the directors
have declared a half-yearly dividend at the rate of aix per
cent per annum, free of income tax, payable on and after
the sth January next."

PRINCESS'S.

A little comedietta, written by Mr. George Lin-
ley, was produced at this house last night with success. it
is called Law r. Love, and consists of a slight and amusing
intrigue, in which a young widow and a young gentleman,
who are engaged in a lawsuit against each other, are induced
to fall in love, marry, and so heal legal differences, by the
machinations of another amiable widow and handsome
match-maker. Miss Murray and Miss M. Oliver played the
two widows, while Mr. Shore and Mr. Roby played a pair
of lovers. Mr. Itozby's dry humour, Miss Oliver's grace,
and Mies Murray's finished acting, made this little piece pair
off very pleasantly. A new ballad, composed by the author,
was archly sung by Miss Oliver in the middle of the come-
dietta. The season at this house before Christmas Is
announced to terminate at the close of the present week.

excellent charity every year will take place next Wednes-
day, at St. James's-hall. The list of 'toward' is large and
distinguished, the arrangements have been well planned, the
company will doubtless be large and brilliant, and no cha-

better than by joining the visitors.

ASYLUM FOIL FEMALE ORPHANS.—Yesterday a
special general court of the friends and supporters of this
institution, situated at Westminster-Midge-road, for the
education and maintenance of female orphans, was held at

the charity by that active police magiatiate, Sir John
Fielding, the brother of the illustrious novelist, in 1758,
more than two thousand seven hundred children have been
sheltered io the asylum, and provided on their leaving it
with situations as domestic servants. The present number
of inmates wail stated to be 167, of whom 10 aro shout to
leave, having completed the period of their pupilage. The
average income, irrespective of legacies, was about 3,500/. per
annum. It being neceesery to hold an election for the selec-
tion of candidates to succeed those about to retire, the
special court was summoned for that purpose. The report
having been adopted a poll was opened, end at its conclu-

didates. There were 33 competitors.

said " I shall feel °Mimi to you informing my tenants, at
such a time and in such a manner as you may consider
most expedient, that at next May term it is my intention
to make them a present of 10 per cent. off their rent for this
year's crop. lem well aware that the last four years have
been anything but remunerative to the farmers of this part
of Scotland ; but I wish you distinctly to explain to my
tenants that the above gift is in no rase to be considered es
• solatium for bypast losses. I beg that those who may
have suffered so seriously as to injure their prospects of
managing their farms successfullywill candidly make their
position known to my fatter, and I shall be only too glad to
give my attentive consideration to each cue that is brought
under my notice."
