Prussia may be in rejecting the Austrian project of
reform, this question mart not be taken into con-

position of parties towards each other, and towards

CIRCULAR ON THE

BERLIN, Szrr. 30.

The aleataanteiger of to-day publishes a circular
issued by the Minister of the Interior, calling upon
the c.hisfs of the provincial governments to devote
their strictest attention to the conduct of the public
functionaries during the forthcoming elections.
The officials are expected to give their entire sup-
port to the state government. Even a passive atti-
tude will be considered as showing a want of
devotion.

In conclusion, the circular says public officials
are not released from their oath of allegiance to the
King either in their capacity as electors or elected.

with coarse luxury and depravation of manners ;
to swell the mass of misery which luxury draws in
Its train ; to render more hideous the contrast
between the extremes of wealth and poverty ; to
push ancient families from the seats in which they
owned at least some tie of affection and of duty to

members of the oligarchy of wealth which presses
more and more heavily on the real happiness and
the political progress of the nation.
No doubt, air, all this has been said in vain before,
and probably it will continue to be said in vain. The

CANADA.

The Canadian screw steamer Nova Scotian, Cap-
tain Graham, from Quebec on the 19th, arrived at
Liverpool about noon yesterday. In the Legisla-
tive Assembly of the Canadian parliament, on the
18th ult., the Hon. Mr. Holton, Minister of
Finance, introduced his budget. The Qsebec
Chronicle says :—" Of the scheme itself—that is,
the ways and means per se—the house and the
country are as profoundly in ignorance as they
were on Monday, or a month ago. What Mr.
Holton told us, in one of the most tedious speeches
of the many to which it Las been our fate to listen,
was that be intended to borrow money to stop the
gaps which the country's necessities bad made,
and that ho intended by and bye to introduce
a system of taxation ; but as he was not
prepared with any measure at present, he
would in the meantime ask the house to consent
to a resolution pledging itself to new taxation.
The opposition objected to this little game of getting
the supplies under a false pretence. Mr. Holton
admitted that before he could go into the English
money market it was necessary that parliament
should be pledged to further taxation, and being
without a definite policy in the matter he wished
the house to strengthen his hands by an indefinite
resolution that might be construed six or eight
mouths hence to mean anything the Minister of
Finance might desire. The opposition thought
this was not exactly desirable, and Mr. Galt, with
his usual ability and eloquent speech, blew the
minister's budget into fragments. Mr. J. A. Mac-
donald briefly replied in an amusing and telling
speech, and the house adjourned."
The Volunteer and Militia Bill had likewise
occupied the attention of the Canadian legislature,
but no decisive action had taken place on the
subject.

THE POLICE COURT&

MANSION•HOUBE

A genteelly dreamed nestlemanly-lositiag youth,
sweetly about 16 or 17 years, who gave the name of Jana
Goodwin, and described Mem& an a clerk, resklisig at Bar-
toa•street, Burton-crescent, was brought before the Lord
Mayoryesterday, charged with forging and uttering a cheque
for 161., with intent to defraud the National Bank, Old
Broad-street.

The prisoner gave the cheque for 151., purporting to be
signed by Win Tatham, to a man named Hoskins, • porter
who was waiting about Dootors'•commons for a job, and
told him to take it to the National Bank and get it cashed.
He took it and preseeted it to Mr. Wood, me of the
cashiers, who immediately suspected it to be a forgery.
Detective-officer Prickmaa was called in, and from what
Hoskins told him, Packman directed a bag to be made-up
containing some copper coins, and under his directions the
witness Hoskins went back to the Probate Court, where
the prisoner had told him to meet him, and
sew the prisoner at the door. The prisoner acme
towards him, and he gave him the bag. Paolo:Ian,
who was close by, saw the prisoner take the bag, and asked
him if he was the party who gave a man a cheque for 151.
to be cashed at the National Bank. The primmer said he
was, and on being asked by the officer where he got it from,
be said he got it from a person named Co:, of No. 5, New-
square, Lincoln's-inn. The officer asked him whether he
took it in payment, and be said no, it was only given to
him to get cashed. He was told the cheque was believed to
be a forgery, and that he most consider himself in custody.
He was to No. 5, New-square, but no such person as
Mr. Cu was to be found there.

Ur. Hamilton Tatham mid him father, by whom the
cheque purported to be signed, was at that time abroad,
but he knew the signature was not his writing. It wee •
little like hinsignature, but a very indifferent imitation.
The primmer, who had nothing to say, waa remanded in
order to procure the attendance of Mr. Tatham, eon.

THE APPROACHING SESSION OF THE
FRENCH CHAMBERS.

The Indepenciance Beige mays :—" The opening of
the French Chambers will very probably take place
during the second week in October, as the Nation
has already announced. Very animated debates
are expected respecting the return of certain
members, the opposition being thoroughly deter-
mined to denounce every measure by which M. de
Persigny's administration carried in various dis-
tricts the candidates it recommended to the electors.
During these discussions, in anticipation of the
publicity of which one of the members already
thinks, it is said, of resigning, the Council of State
will finish its examination of the bills which
are to occupy the attention of the legislature this
year. It is the Emperor's wish that the session
should end in April."

The Emperor of Austria is still at 1361, where be
intends remaining for about a week longer. His Majesty
lately several times went out chamois hunting on the neigh.
battling mouateins.

SLAVERY PASSING AWAY IN MISSOURI AND
KnYU'CRY.—The St. Joseph (Mo.) fiferehl ccotans the
followiog :—" Captain Wood, sheriff of Platte county, was
in the city a few days since, and from him we learned some-
thing of the negro stampede now going on in the lower coun-
ties lhirnig the last two months the darkeye have been
leaving Platte county at the rate of about 30 or 40 per day.
By the census of 1860 Platte county had a slave population
of 3,313, 'indoor informant thinks that there are but 200 or
300 left. From all portions of North Missouri we have like
information. The slaves are leaving by day and by night.
Few owners pretend to stay the exodus. Many pack
up their 'duds' ad walk boldly off in broad day, while
others quietly retire in the night. Should the flight con.
tinue at the present rate, by the time 1866 rolls round, the
slaves of the State will scarcely Le worth counting." Upon
this the Nashville (Nina remarks :—" The same thing is
going on. in a much less degree, in Kentucky. The slaves
se a mem are determined to be free ; they have caught the
spirit of freedom and they will not remain in bondage.
Nothing but the establishment of a strong military police,
a standing army for the slaveholders, will 'alike, hence-
forward, to check the absconding of negroes. The Fugitive
Slave law is deed, and will no longer return a boodman.
Let Tenneeeesse recognise these facts and adapt themselves
to the imperative demands of the times. Our peace and
prosperity depend upon the speedy removal of slavery from
our midst."

GUILDHALL.

Charla Allah pert.ert; Mersie.Shieleir, wholesale shirt
and collar makers, was placed at the bar charged with rob.
biog his employers.
Mrs. Oottoc, of the Lower-road, Islington, said she was
informed by a costermouger that the prisoner could get her
some shirt' cheep. She saw him at • benhouse close to her
shop, and asked him to bring her half a dozea at the prim
mentioned. He brought her the ankles, for which she
paid him 95., and in a few days after she asked him if he
could bring another half dozen of striped shine and some
fancy regattas. He said he would, but that be had some
very nice white ones with him. She looked at them, and
finally bought three, for which she paid 9a.
A gentleman from the firm io Wood.etrest said the
selling price to the trade was Si. 4d. each for the striped
shirts, and the white ones 6s. 6d.
Wieners mid she paid Is. 9d. each for the regatta shirts.
Alderman Hale told the witness she must have ksown
she was doing wrong in purchasing articles from a person
like the prisoner without making the slighted inquiry.
It was, in fact, aiding a thief in the disposal of stolen
Pro Peril.
Anotner witness produced a box of shirt collars which
the prisoner had left at her home, which the prosecutor
ideatified as hie property.
Kr. W. B. Newland said he war a partner in the firm
of Sinclair and Co., Woodntreet, Cbmemis. The pri-
soner was in their employ as porter, and hrd been so ever
aims he was take. from a school some years ago.
The property produced belonpd to the Inn. It had never
been 'old. . . . . .

The primal rid he had purchased shirts of the firm on
his own amount, sod therefore there was no certainty that
he had not paid for the articles now is court.
Alderman Hale—ls the prisoner allowed to purchase arti-
cles out of the warehouse ?
Mr. Newland—To a very limited extent, and only for his
personal use. Ile has ocossiomilly bought a damaged shirt
or two and rearived an invoice in the usual way, but nothing
ZOOM
Alderman consider it the high road to ruin for
warehousemen to allow their servants to purchase articles of
them on their own account.
Yr. Newland—l believe there is nothing unusual in each
• can. It would, he thought, be extremely hard for an
employer to refixes to serve one of his servants with a shirt
or two at the wholesale prices when they required it. Of
emirs, it was bad if allowed to any extent, but there was a
limit to everything.
Aldermaa Hal —Except to robbery ; there is no limit to
that. I know y a very large house in Watling-
street that was entirely ruined through the practice of seLL-
ins to their somata.
The mutable who took the prisoner into custody asked
for a remand, to afford time to trace some other property.
Prisoner—l plead guilty to the charge.
Alderman Hale—You can do so if you please, but I shell
remand you for a week.

THAMES

Two mariners, named William Con trap and Edward Ashe,
were brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with assaulting
Henry Rose, a sugar baker, Francis Robbins, 119 H, sad
Berdamio Stabbings, 111 H.
It appeared in evidence that the constable Robbins saw
the prisoner Conway lying on the pavement close to the
door of a house in Leman-street, Whitecbspel. The
constable gave him a shaking and mused hint, a¢d told him
to go on. The sailor was very mach annoyed at his slum.
bets being disturbed, and struck the policeman. Robbins
seized hint, aud told him ha most go to the station-house.
The sailor said be would not go there. They struggled and
went down together. Stabbings, another police-constable,
went to the misname of Robbins, and Ash., who it ap-
peared woo unknown to the Wm prisoner, cow up, sad

a serious fight ensued. Robbins was struck and knocked
down, and Conway seized him by the hair of the head and
held him down while Ash. kicked him. An upikad-dowa
fight took place, sod the roughs of Whitechapel encouraged
the sailors in their resistance to the police ortioers. For.
tanately the parties ware near the H dewier= stotiowhoese
in Leman-street, and a reinforcement arriving, the mikes
were overpowered and soon lodged in durance vile.
Mr. Partridge asked the prisoners what they bad to say in
defence, and Conway spoke for both, and said, " Drunk,
your honour."
Mr. Partridge could not allow policwconetables to be
Mused with impunity. He tined the prisoners 51. each, and
in default two months' imprisonment.

STATI OF THE 6111115.

_
Between two and this, months ago, alterations, ap-
parently on a very casedve scale, were commenced in
three of these small and inconvenient courts, and the
public were encouraged to hope that a great improve.
meat was about to be introduced, it being justly
argued that any alteration must be for the better.
Soddenly, however, about six weeks since, the works
were entirely stopped, whether from want of funds
or some other aline we have not ascertained; and now,
when the period has arrived for resuming the full business
of the courts, and all the commissioners will shortly he
sitting, they find that there are only two courts available
for the whole of the commissioners and the registrar. All
that has been does is to coated the court formerly occupied
by Mr. Commissioner liolroyd into an office for the Ines-
imagers ; in two other courts, those of Mr. Commissioner
Goulburn and Mr. Commissioner Evans, the whole of
the fittings have been torn down, and were strewn about
the floors or piled on end in the corridors. When the work-
men were introduced in July every one supposed that the
intention was to complete the alterations during the period
when the business of the court is comparatively light ;
but, with that perverse management which appears
to prevail in everything connected with bankruptcy, the
workmen have been allowed their holiday at the same time
as the court, sod now that the business is again becoming
heavy, the carpenters are re-introduced, and the proceeds
ngs
are carried on to a lively accompaniment of axes and
hammers.

His Honour, on taking his seat, remarked en the extreme
inconvenience of this arrangement, whereby only two courts
were left available for the transaction of the whole of the
business, and expressed a hope that steps would be taken
for the speedy remedy of each a state of things.

The bankrupt, formerlya p-u1;l;; of the Globe Torero,
Hotberhithe, wes now described u iAraveller, of Mile-sod.
His debts were coder 3001.

Mr. Bromley' for the official usignee, called his Honour's
attention to the fact that most of the bankrupt's debts bad
been contraoted is Manchester.
His Honour laid, if this had been noticed at an earlier
stage of the case, he would have sent the case down to Man-
chester. It was not likely that the small tradesmen there
to whom the bankrupt owed money would go to the expense
of coming here to oppose him. As it waa, he might take
his order of discharge.

THE ADDRESS OF THE FRENCH

CHAMBER.

PLRIB. i AZ. 26.
In the Senate to-day, M. Troplong read a draft
of the address.

After approving the speech of the Emperor upon
home policy, the address applauds the friendly
tendencies of the foreign policy of the Emperor,
who in his relations with Cabinets does not
separate the legitimate aspirations of peoples from
the law of treaties. It then proceeds :
"In Mexico nothing remains but to advance.
We rely entirely upon our heroic army.
"The attitude of Italy tends to allay apprehen-
sions after having brought them into being. The
period of conflicts is receding—that of arrangements
appears to be drawing near. Rome is no longer
spoken of at Turin, and at Rome herself the go-
vernment is occupied with reforms. Supported by
the presence of onr army, the Pope has loudly ex-
pressed his gratitude to the Emperor. His Holi-
ness is aware that the independence of Italy is not
based upon a pact of France with the revolution—
(applause)—and that your Majesty's assistance may
be reckoned on when the claims of honour and pest
engagements have been fulfilled."
The address concludes with an expression of re•
gret that the proposal of France for mediation in
America has appeared premature to the other
powers.

THE RITMOURED ABDICATION OF PRINCE

COUZA.

BUCHAREST, JAN. 26.

Several alarming rumours in reference to Prince
Couza have been recently current, but are all un-
founded, except that transient discord between the
government and the members of the National As-
sembly has taken place. The deputies have only
returned within the last two days from their Christ-
mas vacation, and have not yet held a public
sitting, on account of a quorum being incomplete.

DEATH or A2l INDIA?, REBEL. Desput, the
oldest rebel leader of Bundeletmd, has just been killed in
the Chutterpore territory, says the Overland Friend of
huhu of December 22. His body has been brought into
Nowgoeg for identification. He bad been nearly twenty
yearn in outlawry, and during that period had done an in-
calculable amount of mischief. Nothing is more remarkable
la our remit history than the esrtaiety with which great
rebels and criminals, after many years, are tracked sod
hunted to their just doom. Only Nana Sahib and Fame
Shah, both beyond our frontier, Lave as yet escaped us.
We know that the former is between Nepaul and Thihet and
the latter in Persia.

Those patients who desire similar entertainment
cannot fail to find it at Aix in watching the poor
porters carrying their fat fellow-sufferers in the
bayards to the baths, and (should they wish to refresh
themselves afterwards) partaking of a ddjeuner in
the pretty boacjuet of the Hotel des Princes, with
the grand chain of the Dent du Chat stretched
before them, and a vineyard richer far (as the writer
can testify) than that of Fmool at their feet.

For a long time great ooloplainte bare been made of
the number of cabmen loitering and causing Mt obarostio•

have been summoned to this court by the police.
At first Mr. Knox fined the defendants 3s.

aummooed rather increased than diminished, Mr. Kam
raised the fine to be. and costa. The increased bee' falling

hstecnon, chiding that things are going an just the saws, to
fine all defeodants 20a. and costs.
This will be a great boon to the bored sod well-conducted

THE CHANNEL FLEET.

The Beet yesterday wu visited by the members
of the Liverpool Town Council and a large number uf ordi-
nary spectators, although the crowd was not so pest as on
previous days, owing to the absence of escursionute. The
nest will leave the Mersey early this (Thursday) morning in
order to cross the bar by the ant tide. Some regret is felt
that the inhabitants will not have an opportunity of giving
a parting cheer to the noble vessels, but it is absolutely
necessary for them to start esrly in order that the in.
habituate of Dublin, who have been }waiting very patiently,
may not be dhappointed. It was publicly announced that
the fleet would leave Liverpool yesterday, and a number of
people who crowded bbs stages and pierbeads were disap-
pointed to fled that they were not "a day 'rebind," but "a
day before the fair."
On Tueeday the Mayor of Bristol received the
following reply to his request that the fleet might visit that
city :—" Admiralty, 21st September. Sir,—ln reply to
yoer letter of the 19th hat., addressed to his Once the

THE DANGEBB OP CHILDREN BOATING ON

INEiWf,ET

I.NQUEHT.—(TII.II3 DAY.)
To-day, at noon, Mr. H. Raffles Waltbew, deputy
CC(ooet, held an inquiry at the SpottmlLt:iiriserlicinni.HiLit.
street, Poplar, respecting the death of
10'yeue, who was drowned in • boating extuusion—=
UM following circumstances.
George Collings, 10. Clarenesetreet, Rotherhithe, said
that deceased got a halfpenny, and want eat to play au
Handily week at 1 o'clock. At half.past 4 some litde boys
came with the news that he wee drowned.
William Smith, 13, Claramos.street, a little boy, appa-
rently not more than 10 years of age, said that on the day
in question, deceased, himself, two other boys, and
twee's little sister, took a bort at Hungerford slake to row
down to Limehouse.reach, tore the Baron Oily, which was
sunk. AU the others in the boat were younger thea
witoms, who was captain of the boat. Whoa they
had got half way they wanted some beer, sad
witness tied the boat to • barge end deceased west
on shore to the King and Queen. There were SO barges
tied together, and they extended into the middle of the
stream. When deceased was amnia* back with the ginger.
beer bottles he was laughing and withal wee afraid be
would be drowned, and called'ont to him. His toe struck
against a ringbolt and he fall on his knees and thee went
head downwards into the water. He meld net be got up
again, and his body was found only on Monday bat.
Is answer to the Coroner, witness said *IS they hod
three sculls between them, sod that one of them was old
and broken. The boat had been lent to his father, sad wit-
ness played about in rt.
The Coroner said it was extraordinary that children so
young should be allowed to row up and down the river in
boats amongst steamers and essay other craft. The practice
was indulged in to a very great extent, and parents seemed
not to mind it mail their children were drowned.
A juror asked whether the Thames police hail not the
pews, to stop the system. Three iequeste had recently been
held in the same place on boys, all of whom were under 14
years, and who had lost their live* in a similar way. Childree
would not be allowed to drive carts is the streets, which
would be lees dangerous.
The Closer mid that some steps craght to be taken.
In the present case it was wonderful that the littiegin aad
all the boys had 'erased drowning,
Ths inry returned a verdict of " Accidental death by
drowning," and expressed their strong censure of the prae- I
tine of children of tender years being allowed to go in boats
unaccompanied on the river.
