PARIS, KrinnaLy Ryazan.

M. de Is Gueronniere's speech in the Senate
yesterday is the best he has ever made. It reads ,
better than his articles, being free from the ding-
dong antithetical periods which make them weari-
some. The report in the Moniteur is worth perus-
ing at length, as being a well considered exposition
of the present views of the party of the "consti-
tutional empire"—of those whose devotion to the
dynasty is beyond suspicion, but who think that it
is now strong enough to grant liberty, and not
strong enough to go on long without it. This
senator, who approves of the coup d'itat—who
thinks the restrictions of the constitution of 1852
were necessary at the time—wbo is acquainted, as
intimately as any man living, with the workings
of imperial institutions from having held confiden-
tial office under the government for ten years to-
gether, this Viscount de la Gueronnibre, who has
written pamphlets under the Emperor's personal
dictation, and has been the censor of the press and
the distributor of warnings and communiquis,thinks
that the time has now come for " crowning the
edifice" with liberty. In terse and clear language
he pleaded for administrative decentralisation, fair
play at elections, protection of the Emperor's
person by larger misisterial reepensibility, and
liberty of the press. The latter point he especially
insisted upon, arguing very pertinently that the
logical consequence of the decree of November,
giving increased powers to the Senate and the
Corps Legislatif, was that there should be greater
liberty of the press. He demonstrated the
absurdity of the recent stringent measures of the
' administration against comments upon the debates
under the pretext that such comments are
" reports," and complained that the government
had acted against the clearly-expressed opinion of
the Senate on the occasion of a petition which be sup-

MANIFESTO OF THE VENETIAN COM-

MITTEE.

The following is the text of the manifesto of the
Venetian Committee mentioned by the Aiblair,w
of Milan :

Fellow Citisena—Evente so long looked for appear to
be approachieg. The question is no longer to excite en-
thusiasm by vain promisee, and your committee no longer
does so. We have, tip to the present time, told you that
we must wait with coestaney and patience ; that the mute
language of our magical. was a solemn protest against
Austrian domination—an eloquent declaration of our faith
in the King, in the parliament, and in the destinies of Italy,
and a continual affirmation of our right, and of our firm
determination to unite ourselves to the great Italian country.
Now we tell you that the time of bard trials is about to
cease, and that the hour for action draws near. Let us be
united and await the sigifal.

to 230 " buyers." North Downs are firmer, at

Park, 39i to ; and North Crafty, 5 tot. In
the Stock Exchange Wheal Ludcott have been
dealt in at 91, and Wheal Seton at 2271 and 225.
Port Phillip, Santa Barbara, and United Mexican
Mining shares are firm, other foreign and colonial
descriptions being quiet.
We are requested to state that the share list of
the Cape of Good Hope Copper Mining Company
will be closed on Saturday the 10th instant.
The circular issued by Mr. Peter Watson con-
tains an annual mining review, from which we
extract as follows :

We stetted in our first number for the year 1862 that 1861
would be long remembered as one of dire misfortune in
almost every branch of industry, opening gloomily, so con-
tinuing, and closing as it did with a nation's agonizing sor-
row. American affairs have been financially and commer-
cially as unsatisfactory during the past year so in the pre-
view one, and have unfortunately brought on a great
deal of misery. Notwithstanding, however, the dreadful
straggle still pending between the Northern and Southern
Stated, and in consequence the small exports free
this country to the United States, the exports of
tin, copper, and lead to that and other countries
have been on the whole satisfactory for the past twelve
months, and prices of these metals may be considered at fair
remunerative rates to the miner. Is the event, however,
of a peaceful solution of the present difficulties between the
Federal. and Confederate., a great advance in the price of
metals, tin and copper especially, will take place. W.
called attention twelve mouths ago to the sad levee sod
depreciation in prices of mine shares generally for the
year 1861, that there had been • greater degree of dimp-
pointment regarding points of operation which had induced
the anticipation of important discoveries, while calls hod
increased and dividends decreased. At the same time we
stated that with abundance of money, public
confidence, better prices of metals, and a legi-
timate vigorous working of such mines as pre-
sented features favourable to success, we might
fairly predict for mining, and those who invested in it, such
results in the present year (i.e. 1862) as would more than
oompensate for the reverses in the past year (1861.) We
are pleased to find, as well as to congratulate our clients,
that the year 1862 has been so successful, and sincerely do
we wish " cos and all " (the Cornish motto) still greater
success in the next twelve months. The year 1863 is likely
to be a still more successful one.
From West Devon Consolidated Copper Mine the agent
writes (Jan. 1) :—" There is no material alteration in our
underground department since last report. We are getting
on as fast as possible with oar dreaming, and the ore stuff is
turning out very satidactory."

PRUSSIA.

Since the fat inst. there has been no " officious "
journal at Berlin. The Stern Zeitung, which held
that position, has ceased to appear. The Chambers
had refused the subsidy which had been allotted to
it by the government, and the merchants of
Berlin had withdrawn their advertisements. In
its last number it declares that the govern-
ment has determined not to have a semi-
official organ by the aide of the official journal.
The government will avail itself of the non-official
part of the Prussian Moniteur, "to give when it
shall be necessary statements adapted to guide and
rectify opinion," and it hopes to find in the inde-
pendent conservative organs " the support neces-
sary for the defence of its views against the
polemics of parties."
General Willisen, who has just gone to Turin as
the Prussian minister, is regarded with great dis-
favour in the Italian capital. It appears that in
1849 he was at Turin during the armistice, in the
capacity of an officer of a neutral power, sent to
study the movements of the army from a purely
military point of view. He stopped at Turin some
weeks, and left on the eve of the resumption of
hostilities. Some days later the officers who
had forwarded his objects at Turin were astonished
to meet him on the battle field of Novara, in
Radetaki's staff. This conduct was deemed un-
military, and it appears that the aristocracy of
Turin have resolved to close their doors against
him. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has, it is
also said, asked the Prussian government to sub-
stitute for him some one whose name does not so
strongly revive unpleasant associations.

FIRS AND LOSS OF SEVEN LIVES AT PORTSSA.

At an early hour yesterday (Friday) morning a
fire broke out in Oonsp-sinest, POllOOl4 a narrow street
running through • dem* populated neighbourhood, and it
resulted in the death of • woman named Keane, and her ix
children The husband and father of the deceased is a shoe-
maker, and kept a small shop. On Thursday night he and
his wife were entertaining two friends, the children, six in
number, having been put to bed in the upper rooms of the
house, which was three stories high. There was also in
the house, as • lodger, the wife of • seaman and her infant
child. The Lines and their two friends were
sitting in • room at the back of the shop, when about
half-pest one o'clock in the morning they suddenly dis-
covered the front part of the premises on fire. Keane and
his wife immediately rushed upstairs with a view to save
the children, when the flames burst forth and cut off com-
munication with the lower part of the house. It is sup-
posed that in attempting to remove the children from the
back to the front room the woman was overcome by the
fumes, and with her children fell • sacrifice to the fire.
Keane himself, finding that the same fate awaited him if
he remained a moment longer, sprung from the top
window down to the ground, breaking his fall by
grasping the lower projections, and he escaped without
sustaining any serious injury. The lodger, when the alarm
of fire was given, ran to one of the windows in the wood
story, threw her child into the arms of some persons stand-
ing beneath, and afterwards escaped in the same way her-
self. The borough, dockyard, and military engines were
soon on the spot, but owing to the fact that the water is
turned off from the mains at night, and to other causes,
Dearly an hour elapsed before they were got thoroughly to
work. The fire was, however, canfioed to the house in
which it broke out, and which is covered by insur-
ance. Sir out of the seven bodies have been
discovered in a frightfully mutilated condition, the
extremities of both mother and some of the children
being completely burnt to a cinder. The remains were dis-
covered amongst the debris on the basement story, in such
• position as to lead to the inference that the woman had
suonieded in getting her children out of the back room into
the front room of the upper story, and that their bodies
fell through with the burning floors. The reining were re-
moved to the Porton police-station, to await • coroner's
inquest.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.

To-day at noon Thomas Edwartla, who waa sen-
tenced to death at the recent Liverpool swim for the
murder of his paramour, Labelle Tongs, wan executed at
. .

Kirk&le GtoL The

connected with the

care are simply thee. :—Edwards cohabited with
Tonga for several years previously to the murder, and
seemed to cherish an affection—brute though it was—for
his partner. Tong., however, did not care much for Ed-
wards, and on the return of a ticket•of-leave man named
Sullivan she neglected Edwards and transferred her atten-
tions to him. This exasperated Edwards, and on the 27th
of November he made very bitter complaint' to some women
who were in his house of the conduct of Tonga, and
ultimately intoxicated himself with drink. On the morning
of the' Bth November, Tong. and Sullivan came home toge-
ther, and Edwards engaged in an altercation with his rival.
They went to bed together, however, apparently on friendly
terms, and nothing more war said until Edward scams down
stairs and reproached Tonga with treachery. Tonga then
renewed the altercation with Edwards and told him
that she "would no longer prostitute herself for him."
Edina* to close the argument, said, " I will be hung for
you !" and rushing upon Tongs with a knife he stabbed her
several times in the neck and other parts of the body, and
she died. Upon being taken into custody, and when a
police-officer told Edwards that Tongs was killed, he said
"It served her right, that is what I intended to do.
I have kept her like a lady for six months; she
has been untrue to me, and I was resolved to take her
life. I warned her of this the day before." Edwards re-
peatedly said he hoped the deceased would die, for if she
and Sullivan were dead he himself could die contentedly.
Edwards vent an uneasy night, and was occupied often in
prayer. He received the sacrament this morning, and was
more composed. He struggled very much after the bolt
was withdrawn. The crowd of spectators is estimated at
8,000 or 10,000, all of the lowest clam. The prisoner joined
in prayer before the bolt was withdrawn, but made no
other riga.

ANOTHER MURDER AT BIRMINGHAM.

In less than a month after the young man Henry
Carter shot his sweetheart, another murder has been com-
mitted in Birmingham. At about 9 o'clock on Thursday night,
a tramp went into the beerbowie kept by Charles Roue, in
Coleshill.etreet, and 'begged for driok. He was refund,
when he began to use 'burrs language to Rase and his wife.
Ross ordered him to leave the house, and eventually he
went and crossed to the other side of the street. While he
was starling there, Rose and another man earns out of the
becrhouse and went up to him. Rod said, " Are you lot
sahamed of yourself ?" and then hit him • violent blow ott
the face, and the other man also struck him heavily.
He staggered against s door near which he was standing,
but in a few momenta be recovered himself, and then they
both hit him on the head again. This time he fell down
senseless on the pavement, with his head on the kerbstone,
and he never moved again. A crowd had gathered around,
and deceased was put in a csb, and conveyed to the General
Hospital, but when examined by a surgeon he was found
to be quite dead. Ilia face was much bruised and con-
Weed, the bridge of his noes was broken, and there was an
extensive cut on the right temple. The name of the de-
ceased has not yet been ascertained. He is apparently •
labouring man, about 45 years old, of • dark complexion,
and having dark hair beginning to turn grey. On Thurs-
day night, Rose was apprehended in his own house, bat his
companion is as yet at large. Yesterday morning, Rose was
brought before the Birmingham magistrates, charged " with
c :using the death of • man unknown," and was remanded
to await the result of the inquest.

EXECUTION AT WORCESTER.

William Ockold, 70 years of age, was executed
yeetenlay morning at the County Gaol, Worcester, for the
wilful murder of his wife, Sophia Ockbold, aced 70,
at Oldbury. Sinuous efforts wore made to induce Sir
George Grey to interpoie the mercy of the crown, and
even so late as Thursday a fresh applioata was made for
the remission of the capital sentence, but without effect.
Since the sentence the culprit has behaved with calm.
ems, bat wee evidently buoyed up with the hope of the
reprieve, for which such strenuous efforts have been made.
The last attempt to induce the Home Secretary to inter,
fete was announced to the unhappy old man on Thursday
night ; and though he teasel • very restless night, be was
aware of his pretties. At half-peat 8 o'clock the pro
of the wider sheriff, the goverece, the
chaplain, the Rev. J. Arliepor• and the other pod
officials, was formed, the piniomog having previously I ea
effected by Calcraft, the executioner. The wretched Inas
walked firmly to the scaffold, and after the rope bed bees
axed rotted his need be ejaculated nevem' times, " Lord
have mercy on my poor *out." The brat was withdraw*
as the Burial Berries was being read, and the miserable
murderer died without a struggle. There were upward"
of 5,000 pereor present, and good order was maintained
by the Worosetenhire county polies, under the directioa
ad Superintendent Phillip'.

stated, that on Wednesday night he received information
that a man had killed his wife at a holies in Irving.
street, Bolton-road. He immediately went thither, and
found the house crowded with people, and the soma'
lying dead in their midst. Several persons stated, in the
presence of the prisoner, that be had been throwing pots
at the woman, that he had beaten her, and given her a blackeye. lie could not get any direct evidence at the time. He
took the prisoner into custody, removed him to the
station, and then went back in company with a surgeon, to
make inquiries. Be had, however, only to ask that 'mo
be remanded till Saturday, for the inquest mukluk

examination had been made by Messrs. Terry and Smith.
The prisoner was accordingly remanded till to-day. Ho
seems to be in good spirits, and quite unconscious apparently
of the serious nature of the charge brought against him.

ATTEMPTED WIPE MURDER AT BIRMINGHAM

At the Birmingham Police-court yesterday, be.
fore a full bench of Henry Griffiths. Set, forger
Howard-place, Birmrwee placed in the dock charnel
with attempting to murder his wife, Sarah Griffiths. The
evidence went to show that for some time tack the prisoner
and his wife had lived very unhappily together, in come.
queuee of an unhappy jealousy with which he had been
inspired. He often ill-treated her, and he told her no later
than on Thursday night that he would serve her as the
woman in Tauter-street had been served, alluding to the
ease of the woman murdered by Thompeou's son, sir
months ago. About six o'clock yesterday morning be got
up in the dark, leaving his wife in bed, and went
downstairs. He soon returned, and then walked
about the room for some time, after which be went
to the side of the bed and without saying anything
put his arm round her neck. Immediately she felt scene
sharp Instrument being drawn saws her throat, and natu-
rally put up her hands to save herself. SLe caught hold of
a knife which the prisoner bad in his hand, and shrieked
and struggled as well as she could. Soon some of the neigh-
bours came in and found her trying to defend herself against
her husband, who had a large and sharp knife in his hand.
Both her hands were fearfully cut, and there was a slight
cut on her throat. In the court, the prisoner examined his
wife very closely, and stated that she was not only •
drunkard, but had been unfaithful to him, and that he had
suffered a great deal more from her than the murderer
Thompson had from the woman he bad killed. The magic.
treks sent the prisoner to the ensuing Warwick assizes, to
take his trial on the charge of attempting to murder.

CANADA COMPANY.-(THIS DAY.)

This afternoon the annual general court of
proprietors in this company was held at (ads House,

The report stated that the transactions of the company
had not been so extensive during the past as in preceding
years. The collections of money in particular showed. large
diminution in the items of purchase-money sod rent, owing
to the lessee settlers not having exercised the option of
conversion to so great an extent as usual. Never-

TORY BY THE RUSSIANS.

The correspondent of the Times (second edition)
at Vienna, writing on Saturday, says :
Further particulars relative to the violation of the Austrian
frontier at Curdles, in Galicia, have been received here. From
45t050 Commack' followed some insurgents across the frontier,
and attacked seven Austrian soldiers, who attempted to
bar the way into the village. Au Austrian lieutenant, who
speaks the Polish language well, called the attention of the
Russian officer to the fact of his having crossed the frontier,
bat no attention whatever was paid to his representations.
Re was repeatedly fired at, and at last taken as a pri-
soner to a Russian colonel, who was standing, with
about ROO dragoons, at a short distance from the Austrian
frontier. To the complaints of the lieutenant the Russian
officer gave no other reply than that the Austrian soldiers
had no right to afford protection to the refugees. " The
lieutenant and his men," says the official report, "had
their arms restored to them, bat the former was obliged
to return to his post without the gold anchor watch and
money which had been taken from him by the Cossacks.
The common soldiers were deprived of their little savings
sad also of their ammunition." This government at coos
asked for satiataction, and the reply given to the
demand was that the Russian soldiers are generally
very ignorant, and the officers rarely well versed is
international matters. It in said that the answer to this
was, that Austria must insist on satisfaction being given
for the insult offered to the defenders of her territory. By
means of the Polish insurrection this government has made
the very valuable discovery that the agents of Russia
CII3IIOL bring about a revolution in Galicia, but that
Austria can very easily revolutionise the kingdom of Poland.
Austrian statesmen are averse to the use of what may be
called two-edged weapons, but I feel assured that they will
have recourse to them if Russia should again endeavour to
bring about disturbances in the Sclavonic provioces of the
empire and in the adjoining provinces of Turkey in Europe.

DENMARK.

"Private letters from Copenhagen," says the
Moniteur, "mention how the candidateship of
Prince William of Denmark was brought about.
The Danish prince was for some time in London,
on the occasion of the marriage of the Princess
Alexandra, bin sister, and Earl Russell is said to
have availed himself of that opportunity to open a
negotiation on the subject. Prince Christian, father
of the new candidate, made no objection to the
minister's overtures, but laid down as a preliminary
condition the consent of King Frederic VII. of
Denmark. The King was informed by telegraph of
the resolution of the English government, which
was soon after communicated to him by the English
minister at Copenhagen, when the monarch ex-
pressed his personal satisfaction."

COPENHAGEN, NAM! 90, EvzNix°.

The Beriinske Tidende of this evening publishes a
semi-official article announcing that Russia and
France approve the candidature of Prince William
of Denmark for the throne of Gteeoe.

The same paper states that Prince Christian and
Earl Rummell have both inquired of the King of
Denmark whether the candidature would have his
Majesty's sanction.
The King will receive Mr. Paget, the British mi-
nister, to-morrow, to communicate his decision.
His Majesty does not seem disinclined to give his
consent, provided Prince Christian and Prince Wil-
liam desire the arrangement. His Majesty will,
however, distinctly reserve further conditions, es-
pecially with regard to Prince William's right of
succession to the Danish throne.

A letter from Stuttgardt says :—" One night
last week a destructive fire broke out in a bonne adjoining
our Zoological Garden. It was a horrible speotiscle to see
the fury of the &Micah, terrified by the eight of the fire,
and by the extreme heat. Nothing could exceed the rage
of the ferocious inmates of the garden, particularly of the
lions and bears, and in order to calm them the keepers ware
obliged to be coestantly deluging them with cold water.
The military authorities sent a detachment of riflemen to
fire on the animals in ease it should be found impossible to
me. them. Fortunately that extremity was not found
necessary, as the fire was extinguished."
A letter from the Hague of the 27th gives some
details of a fire which took place in the ball-room when
their Majraties were present. At midnight, just as the
company were about to sit down to supper, the flame of •
wax.light communicated to the hangings with which the
room was ornamented, and in a moment the walla and
ceilings were in a flame. The Queen, with great presence
of mind, raised her voice and recommended everyone to be
calm and silent, and, thanks to that salutary advice, every-
one left the place without any accident occurring. The
King and the princes remained on the spot until the fire
was got under. The whole of the furniture of three rooms
Iwas deetroyed. - - -

A Kumigsborg letter in the Cologne Gazette
says :—•' A lawsuit of some interest on the subject of the
copyright in a piece of music has just been heard before the
tribunal of this city. The march composed by Neyerbeer
for the coronation festival was taken down from ear by
• lady, who then erra•ged it for the piano end had it
lithographed. A music seller at Berlin, named Schle-
singer, who bed purchased the copyright of the march
from M. Meverbeer, prosecuted for piracy the lady, the
lithographer, and the music•sellers who had sold copies of
the pianoforte arrangement. The tribunal would not,
however, admit that taking down • work on • simple
hearing constituted an infringement on • publisher's rights,

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Ripon has arrived here with the heavy portion of

1,224 packages of cargo, including raw silk valued at
100,0001. The Ripon left Gibraltar on the 26th
instant.

Violent easterly gales prevailed at Gibraltar from
the 23rd to the 25th inst., causing several slight
disasters among the shipping.
Exchanges and freights at Gibraltar were on-
altered.

The above note was drawn up by K Magne, the
now talking but late finance minister, who has
always been jealous of BL Fould, who superseded
him. It will be obvious to those who remember
the celebrated letter of K Fould to the Emperor,
that the above note clashes with it very strongly.
The note says that the finances were as well man-
aged before M. Fould came into office as they are
now. M.Fould, on the contrary, just before he took
oboe, represented that everything was going to
rack and ruin. M. Magne, before sending the
above note to the papers, had a conversation with
the Emperor. M. Fould understands that such
a publication behind his back is a warning
to him that he no longer possesses his Majesty's
confidence. He is determined to persevere in the
policy of the senates constatunt, but there is
reason to think that the Emperor finds his move-
ments hampered by it, and wants a change. It is
possible that the resignation of BL Fould may not
be immediately accepted, but it has certainly been
tendered. The names of De Vuitry and Chasaeloup
Laubat are mentioned as probable successors.
The Bourse was seriously affected by the rumour
of the day. Large sales were effected, and Rents
closed with a fall of 65c.
The enormous sum of 3,0001. was received yester-
day at the doors of the tribunes of the new raoe-
ground at Vincennes. All the printed tickets were
exhausted, and crowds were kept waiting a long
while till paper could be found on which to write
impromptu receipts for the money tendered. The
absence of the Emperor and Empress is not yet
explained. The Congtitutionnet says that their
luncheon was waiting for them in the imperial tri-
bone, and that servants from the Tuileries were
there ready to serve it

THE POLISH QUESTION.
VIENNA, MAWR 30.

The communication sent from here to the Cologne

on the 28th inst., to the effect that the French
government inside upon Poland being constituted
as an entirely independent kingdom for the Duke
of Leuchtenberg, and that it has laid this new

PARD3, YAK= 90.

The Nation of this evening, in an article signed
by its Editorial Secretary, says :—" While the
Polish insurrection maintains itself by scattering
its forces, it becomes more difficult to guppies.
Prance and England seek, in common, a solution
that Austria will be able to accept without disquiet-
ing the other powers interested. This question hen,
therefore, entered a diplomatic phase, and the result
most be awaited without too much impatience."
We believe we can state that France and England
agree upon the end to be attained, and it is proba-
ble that Austria will not delay entering the same
path. We need not dwell upon the importance of
this fact.
