COMMERCIAL AND MARKET&

MA RIC7LiNL-4TIIIB DA.IY,)

Although only a limited supply of English wiest was ea
sale in our market today millers, seawalls, operated
with considerable caution, at Monday's decline in the quo-
tations. The general quality of the samples was good.
There was a large quantity of foreign wheat on the steeds.
Good and fine qualities were mostly held at Monday's
currency ; but all other kinds were very dull, sod, to have
forced salsa, further reduced rates must have hese sub-
mitted to.
Floating cargoes of grain chanted hands slowly, without,
however, any further change in value.
Both English and foreign barley was very dull, and P 630
were from rid. to Is. per quarter lower than last week. The
supply was by no means extensive.
Ths malt trade was tolerably firm, and the currencies
were supported.
Good sound oats maintained their previous value, bet
heated qualities gave way 6d. per quarter.
Beans were iu short supply and aleggish request at late
rates.
No change took place in the value of plea, but the inquiry
was chiefly confined to small parcels for immediate con-
, sumptioo.
Most kinds of flour were a dull inquiry, and late rates
were barely supported.
Tares are dull in sale, and either cheaper. Cloyerseed is
heavy, at late rates. In linseed and cakes very little is
passing, at barely stationary prices.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before Mr. Payne.)

In the case of Marie Monect, 3d, a Frenchwoman who
err,' indicted for keepiog a diaunletly house in 41%11A:trent,
Westminster, various withers' having been heard,
The leerued Judge guru:owl up.
Ooe of the jurymen gave it am his opinion that the house
was not in one sense a brothel, but through negligence it
bad been mismanaged. The other eleven jurymen had
agreed on their verdict.
The jury retired, and after • few minutes' deliberation re-
turned with • verdict of Ouilty, recommending her to mercy
on account of her previous good conduct.
Mr. Payne, in passim' sentence, said it was always hie
wish to bear in mind the recommendation to mercy of a
jury ; and, considering all the facts of the Mae, be thought
the ends of justice would be met by sentencing the pnsoner
to the House of Correction for two calendar mouths, with
bard labour.

IPIPIt NIL

TILE LATE REVIEW AT ALDERSHOT.
Colonel STUART asked the Under Secretary for War
how many men were sent to hospital, and whether two
men died io consequence of too long exposure to the beat
on the oorasios of the recent review at Aldershot ; also,
whether it was intended to provide in the huts at Alder-
shot one room for each soldier married with leave, more
than one family being now lodged in one room.
The Mai qui. of HARTINGTON said that there bad been
great exaggerations respecting the easaalties at the recent
review. One men had dropped dead, but be bad valvular
disease of the heart, and died oo the march to the parade
=in the morning. No donbt,however, the excersive heat
used some suffering to the men. In answer to his
gallant friend's second question, there was no case of more
than one married soldier's family being quartered in one
room. At the same time he admitted that better socom-
modatiou would be desirable.

ME lONIAN ISLANDS.

Lord J. MANNERS ioquired of the First Lord of the
Treasury whether instructions had been seat to oar naval
authoritiel off the coast of Greece to mime protection to
the lonian subjects of her Majesty ; and whether, as the
Bth Article of the Treaty of P.m., November 5, 1813, invites
the accession of the Ottoman Porto to that conventioe, se
well sa that of the powers which signed the treaties of May
30, 1814, andof June 9, 1815, it was the intent ino of her Ma
)7.2..: government to invite the Porte to attend the con-
about to be held on the proposed cession of the
lootati Islands to Greece

Lord PALMERSTON—With regard to the first questios,
no instructioes of the nature mentioned by the noble lord
have been sent to the naval or military authorities or diplo-
asatie agent. of her Majesty, and for this plain and obvious
reason, that no change has taken place in the Menai of the
lonian Islands to the crown of Great Britain—they are still
wider the protectorate of England; and, therefore, there
ean be no reason why, io anticipation of an event which has
sot yet happened, that protection to which the lonian
Islands are entitled should be withdrawn trim them. With
regard to his mooed question, the noble lord is partly right
and partly misinformed. It is true that, by the treaty
between England, ?mote. and Austria, it was stipulated
that the accession of Turkey and of the two Sicilia should
be invited. Bet though Turkey was named in the invita-
tion at that time, the Sultan, for views of his own, was dis-
inclined to connect himself with any European transactions,
and declined to be as acceding party. There was
a onovation two years afterwards, but it had a
different object in view. A negotiation had been going
on with regard to the protection of Pugs, which had for-
nierly belinged to the lonian State, but the English govern-
ment then agreed to renounce all claim to it, sad ack cow-
ledged it to be part of the Turkish territory. In return for
that the Sultan did not accede to the treaty by which the
lonian Islas& were placed under the protectorate c 4 Greet
Brdaies,, bet acknowledged those seven islands sa a British
and copied to treat the lonians with all the
privileges of Brink eubjecr. It wee not a treaty *mane-
mg the protectorate of the lonian Islands under Great
Britain, but acknowledging it se an established fad, sod
deducing from that fact the concessions which were due to
the lonian subjects. Consequently Turkey is not entitled
se an acceding party to the treaty to be a party to any
ensfereues for the wieder of the loans lauds to Greece
Lord J. MANNERS—Is the noble lord aware that
W treaty to Waal Milos referred ie actually headed the
Ain of ACOSIIOIO4I to the Treaty of 1815

ALLEGED MURDER OP A MAN IN LEATHER-

LANL-(THIS DAY.)

This morning a man was found lying dead in
leather•lane by Polioecoostable Smith, 409 0, and was
taken by him at once to the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's-
Inn-lane.

From what has come to the knowledge of the police there ;
can be no doubt that the unfortunate man waaknocked down M

by one or two men who at once decamped. Inquiries were
instituted by Inspector Allen, of the G division,
and it was ascertained that the unfortunate man was
named Will/A' Hoasdon, aged 40, • working
mac, residing at 33, College-street, Camden-town.
It would appear that the men suspected were seen to attack
the deceased, and to knock him down, and although he lay
on the pavement insensible no one attempted to assist him,
nor were the polioeinformed of the fact& until after they had
returnedfrom conveying the man to the workhouse. Informs.
tion was at once forwarded to the different police stations
with &description of the supposed murderers.
The deceased is reported as having been • very steady
man. He has left • wife and family to deplore hi untimely
loss.

LATEST ENTICLLIGENG'R

FRANCE AND AUSTRIA ON THE POLISH

QUESTION._

A letter from Vienna of the 23rd of May to the

Boersenhalle of Hamburg says :
The cabinet of Vienna finds Reel( again on the eve of great
triala, and it will be a gigantic work for the men who are
at the bead of Austrian affairs to extricate themselves hap-
pily. We learn from a very good source that for some days
past there have been serious double of the pacific solution of
the Polish question. France and England have, it is affirmed,
been actively employed recently in endeavouring to induce
Austria to adopt the programme which those two powers
are going to forward to St. Petersburg. Not only were the
overtures made on this subject very pressing, but they
were also accompanied with confidential communications
on the part of France alone which have by their gravity
produced a very profound impression here. If we
are not deceived, the cabinet of the Tuileries
has signified that eventually—that is to s►y in case
the solution proposed should meet with too many ob.
stscles on the part of Russia, and Austria should by
ita policy deserve well of the western powers and of
Poland—France might prepare to place the Polish
nationality under the sceptre of the Emperor of Austri►
But it appears to have been intimated at the
Isms time that if Austria does not accept this
idea France would be obliged to return to that
of the reconstitution of an independent Grand Duchy of
Warsaw, her original programme, which she abandoned only
to please Austria. There is reason to believe that neither
of these overtures has been received here with satisfaction.

COURT OF COMMON PLZAB.-MAY 27.

ittioge in BIDSOO.--(Bators lard Chief Justice Erie and
Justiose Willes, and Bytes.)
COLLINOWOOD V. BERKELEY LID °THIEL —THE RENON
COLUMBIA OVERLAND TUNER COMPANY.
This was /an action against Mr. Berkeley, IL P. for
Bristol. and several other persons, who had been directors of
the British Columbia Overlaid Trailed Company, the object
of which was to convey emigrants across the Continent of
Anseries to British Columbia, so as to Nam the long sea
voyage. The plaintiff formed one of the first batch of
emigrants to be sent out, and he paid 421. for his passage,
but when be reached a place called St. Paul's, in Minnesota,
It was foetid that the company had no means to carry them
further, and those who could have furnished conveyance
refused to trust the company. The emigrants were in con-
sequence left at St. Paul's, and they deputed the plaintiff
to proceed to London to represent their ease tothe company,
but when be arrived in London he found that the company
bad awed to occupy its office, and that it was, in fact, at an
med. Under these circumstances the plaintiff sued to re-
cover damages, and he framed his claim in two ways ; first,
be complained that he had been induced to take his
by the fah* representations of the defendants ; and
=y, he asked for damages upon the ground that the
&deadest, had not performed their contract to carry him to
British Columbia. The trial took place before the Lord
Chief Jostles at Guildhall, and in the course of it it was
arranged that the coyote which imputed misrepresentation
to the defendants should be withdrawn, and that the caws
should be tried upon the question whether there had been
any breach of contract by the defendants. The jury upon
that occasion found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 16W.,
spied all the defendants except one, Mr. Fenner. After-
wards rules were obtained to show cause why the verdict
should not be entered for Mr. Berkeley and another de-
faded, Mr. Janis, upon the ground that there was no evi-
dence against them, or why there should not be a new trial,
and on the present occasion the question was whether this
rule should be made absolute.
Xr Serjeaat Mee and Mr. Soirjeant Pigott appalled to
show came against the rule ; and Mr. M. Smith, Q.C., and
11r. Kingdom appeared for Mr. Berkeley, and Mr. Daly for
Mr. Jads, to support the rale.
The company was started by Colonel Sleigh, and the me-
tract was made with Mr. lienaor, the secretary of the com-
pany. The defendants' taw was that though they bad con-
sented to at as directors, they had considered that the
company was only in course of formation, and that they
had never author or even known of the commencement
of business. On the other hand various circumstances were
relied upon to fix the defendants with liability.
The Comi at the conclusion of the argument took time

to ooneicier the matter.

DRAMA.

oLy
The managers of the Olympic Theatre did a bold
set 'sat night in producing a drama which has no more
eMeity with the pieces so long associate.; with this house
pea pickled onions have with barley-sugar. Turning their
backs upon those lollipop comediettas which depend so
numb for their success on dress and deportment, they have
produced • four-sot play, by Mr. Tom Taylor, called The
ticket-of-Leave Man, which has all the qualities usually
saeociated with a Surrey melodrama. It contains a story
which, though somewhat transparent from the outset,
is
sufficiently exciting in its development to interest an
audience for three or four hours; it has its serious and
comic scenes arranged in the approved sandwich fashion,
and its underplot, which hangs loosely on the skirts of
the main intrigue ; it has characters of an old and familiar
but very eileaire siege type, who have each • fair share of
talk and action without being alloand wed to bore the audi
come aence s
;
and it is pitched amongst people places which
near to every-day life as an ordinary working dramatist can
be expected to supply who has to deal with ordinary work.
lag actors and managers. Those who, led away by the
wording of the playbill, go to see this new effort of
eirvedly imixemful dramatist under the belief that they
will witness an abstract and brief chronicle of the time will
be partly, but not wholly disappointed. They will see in
eeessional scenes and in one or two touches of character
something that borders on real life ; while in the incidents
they will recognise that headstrong romance which must
always be the master of • playwright who studies his
market
If the plot of the Ticket-of-Leave Han is meant to con-
vey any very serious lesson to our criminal reformers on a
subject which has long troubled them, is certainly fails in
its object. Mr. Tom Taylor's returned convict is a man
who has been wrongfully convicted, and not, a vagabond
who becomes penitent. The four acts of the fable show the
struggles of this man to regain kis loet footing in the
world ; but they show us nothing to justify the title of the
drams in the dltticulges which lie in the path of the true
ticket-of-leave man. The real criminals of the piece, who
are placed well to the fon, hold no ticket-of-leave, except
their cleverness and impudence, and what their struggles
will be in society when they return to it once more with a
poi governor's license, is still left unsettled by Mr. Taylor.
The call for all the actors at the end was unanimous ; and
Mr. Horace Wigan—speaking for the author, who was not
in the house—announced the piece' for repetition amidst the
loudest applause.

LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 28.

Wnxism L, instead of attempting to act
with the representatives of the Prussian nation,
obstinately isolates himself from them on every
point, small or great, trivial or serious. In.
stead of honestly carrying out the constitution
be had sworn to support, he has openly
violated, one after another, all its fundamental
provisions. Instead of identifying himself with
the interests of the nation and employing the powers
of the Crown to secure its prosperity at home
and increase its influence abroad, he has blindly
sacrificed domestic peace and European respect to
the insane and suicidal assertion of mere preroga-
tive. As the result of this infatuated policy,
Prussia is rent with internal divisions, and sur-
rotuided with external dangers; weakened and
distracted at home, and degraded abroad. It is
idle to lay the blame of these calamities at the
door of the weakest and most contemptible
Ministry ever known even at Berlin. The Kilo
could not only at any moment have dismissed his
incapable advisers, but was constitutionally bound
to do so, when the nation; through its central organ,
had unanimously pronounced against them and their
policy. In place of adopting this simple, conciliatory,
And patriotic course, the Bum has hastened to jus-
tify every attack by the Ministryon thef undamental
rights of the Chamber, and to sesame the
full responsibility of their Illegal and violent
ode. When the Ministers attempted to govern
without a Budget, the Kin° asserted their right
to do so ; when they denied their constitutional
responsibility, the KING eagerly assumed it ; and
finally, when they refused to recognise the inde-
pendent authority of the Chamber, or to conform
to its usages, the Kino not only justified their
conduct but in a formal message °ensured the Par-
liament for not having tamely submitted to this
unheard-of outrage. It was impossible for
the conflict to have continued beyond this point,
and the rupture between the Crown and the
Representative Assembly, which had virtually
existed for weeks past, is now formally complete.
The committee appointed by the Chamber to draw
up a reply to the royal message justifying the
ministerial claim to complete exemption from all
parliamentary control, concluded their labours on
Thursday last. The address they had prepared
was submitted to the Chamber on Friday
morning, and after eight hours' debate

CLOSING OF THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBER.
BERLIN, EAT 27.

At to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
the reply of the King to the Address of the
Chamber was read by the President. The reply
was not countersigned by the ministers.
The answer of the King states that his Majesty
upholds the views of the last royal message, and
continues :—" The position of the country is
known to the King. The Chamber by its Ad-
dress has cut away all hope of community of action.
The attitude of the house in foreign questions has
grieved the King deeply. Prussia is not more
I isolated owing to her foreign policy than other
powers. Some members of the house have threat-
ened to refuse the supplies in the contingency of •
war, but the King will seriously oppose such unjus-
tifiable endeavours to enlarge the constitutional
rights of the Chamber. The King will maintain
the power of the Crown =diminished, and will not
allow the foundation upon which it rests to be
removed."
The message concludes as follows : " The Minis-
tem ponces my confidence, incl lipiesiotlons have
my assent."

Closed in the afternoon,

The closing of the Prussian Chambers took place
at two o'dock today in the White Saloon of the
Royal Castle, by Herr von Bismark reading a speech
from the throne, of which the following in a sum-
mary :
By its address to the King upon tho 29th of Ja-
nuary, the Chamber of Deputies has placed itself
in direct opposition to the government, and, no:
withstanding the answer of the King, has re-
mained in a position adverse to an understanding.
By its debates upon foreign polities the Chamber
has endeavoured to paralyse the influence of the
government, and has thereby increased the excite-
ment prevalent in the provisoes bordering upon
Poland. It has accepted misrepresentations
of the opponents of Prussia, and aroused appre-
hensions of external dangers and entanglement in
war, for which the existing relations to foreign
powers give no well-founded cause. In the recent
address the Chamber, moreover, has altogether
refused its 00-operation with the government.
This renders the close of its deliberations unavoid-
ably necessary. The government reserves to itself
the power of determining the manner in which the
unsettled financial measures shall be brought to
conclusion, and hopes to come to a future under-
rtanding with the representatives of the country.

PRINOESM

Mr. George Vining re-opened this house Let
night for the summer season, with a three act drama from
the French of l'aul Meurioe, the well-known French
dramatic author of the Porte St. Martin, and a new
farce by Mr. T. J. Williams. The drams bears the
title of Court and Cam, and is, we believe, an adapta-
tion of Faulty% la Talippe, produced in Paris some years
Mee, Mr. Vining himself being the adapter. The scene is
laid in the time of Louis XV., or perhaps we should say in
the reign of Madame Dubarri, the king's beautiful mistress,
who with her protige and friend, Dr. Quemoy, the famous
founder of the French school of political economists, forms
a prominent figure in the piece.
The centre point of the drama is Mr. Vining's per-
formance of the Mousquetaire. Mr. Charles Verne,
who is known to Drury-lane and Lyceum audiems) per-
forms the designing Count is a subdued and finished style,
mak aided by a good voice for this kind of part. Miss
Louise Laidlaw has too little to do to require special notice.
Xis !Wiwi& as the hacineting Duberri, who afterwards
ems to so terrible an end in the evil days of Robespierre,
performs effectively • and Mies Lydia Thompson inte
her performance of the lady's companion with sorne7M7
dosses at the camp and amid the lamps, sod shrubberies,
sod fountains of the gardens at Versailles. The latter some
deservedly obtained a cell for Mr. F. Lloyd, the SCOW-
punter. An the roguish and terrified Ramponnean Mr.
G. Reimers distinguished himself by that dry and natural
bestow by which he has lately made so much program in
public favour.
The new farce by Mr. Williams, which was produced at a

with having united an unfortunate young lady, Clementine

friend Mr. Lycurgue Benythe, of the Temple (Mr. Bel-
mont, to an elderly gushing lady, Mies BoOoeisber

AUSTRIA AND FRANCE.

The Journal des Debate of to-day says :

Probably Austria and her cabinet hold at this moment in
their hands peace or war. Whatever may be in reality
the dispositions of the cabinet of the Tuileries and of the
English ministry, it cannot be doubted that the designs
conceived at Paris and London must be greatly modified
according as it is believed that dependence
may be placed either on the absolute neutrality or
the effective co-operation of Austria. So far, public opinion
at Vienna declares itself energetically against Russia. The
two journals which exercise the greatest influence at Vienna
—one among the high class public men, the other among
the middle class and the small tradesmen, the Ott Deutsche
Post and the Prase are strongly in favour
of drawing closer the alliance between Austria and our
country. The skilful conduct and the known views of
31. Drouyn de Lhuys have contributed in no small degree
to strengthen these new sentiments at Vienna. It is known
that this statesman baa never favoured sentiments contrary
to the maintenance of the Austrian empire, and he is now
gathering the fruit of his prudent policy.

The French press appear to attach some signifi-
cance to the fact that, in the warning just given to
the Sh'cle, the cause of Poland is spoken of by the
French Minister as "the great cause,"

has brought ship mails from St. Thomas
and FayaL A paddle-wheel steamer called the
Juno arrived at Fayal, from Bristol, on her way, it
was supposed, to run the blockade. On her
leaving Fayal she was pursued by the
Federal war steamer Tiersarde. The latter left
the harbour two minutes after the former, but the
Juco had gained a mile and a half on the Federal
steamer during a run of five miles. It was thought
that the Juno would escape capture on account of
her speed. She arrived out at Fayal in four-and-
a-half days.
