HANOVER, Joss 24.
The Order of Knights (Ritterschaft), or aristo-
cratic party of the provinces of Osnabruck and the
the
Duchy of Bremeo, have sent in a protest to
German Diet at Frankfort, complainingof the Nava
cation of the chambers by the crown, elected accord*
ling to the constitution in vigour at present, as heft
diametrically opposed to the decree of that assembly,
of the 12th of April of this year, and their not being
represented in the chambers. A previous petition to
the Hanoverian government in a similar sense had
not the desired effect, and they have therefore thought
proper to appeal to the highest authority on the 'sh-
ire. They demand the immediate dissolution of the
chambers sad fresh elections on the basis of the former
electoral law, so as to ensure a preponderating influ-
ences of their own aristocratic party.
Were the government to have acceded to this de-
mand they would have been left without any
pecuniary means to eery on the administration, as
the financial year expires on the 30th instant, and it
is therefore high time for the budget to be voted. And
indeed, the ministers appear to be folly aware of this,
as it was one of their first cares on the opening of the 1
chambers to lay before them the estimates for the ap-
proaching financial year, which commences on the let
July. In this budget the receipts of the kingdom are
calculated at 9,070,000 dollars, whilst the expenditure
will amount to 8,812,000 dollars. Of this latter sum
the war department figures for 1,992,000 dollars, the
Ministry of the Interior 1,396,000 dollars, and that
of 'mum 638,000 dollars. The expenses of the
foreign department show a considerable diminution,
whilst an increase takes place in the Public Works
n account of the two new lines of railroads in 1
,of construction) and the educational depart

meat.
Oar Prime Minister, Baron von Liitcken, is gone

The court are making preparations to go in a few

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Austrian army in the Principalities is suffer-
ing from those climatic influences which this time
last year afforded Prince Gortcbakoff a decent excuse
for withdrawing his army from before BiHattie.
Intermittent fevers prevail at Ibrail, Galatz, and all
the towns on the Danube. It has been found noose-
sary to remove a considerable number of the Austrian
regiments to the Carpathian highlands and Little
Wallachia. An Austrian corps of 3,000 men will be
retained at Bucharest.

This insolvent, whose case was reported on Moods, was
further heard. Mr. Read opposed for the trustee of gassn's
Metal, and Mr. Elargood supported.
In 1852 the insolvent incurred a debt of 401. at Bacon's
Metal, Great Clneen4trest, when the establishment was
arried on by trustees. The complaint was that the debt
was incurred without reasonnble expectations of payment.
The insolvent owed about 21,0001., sod had 128 ersditon,
sad 27 residences. He had upwards cf 30,0001. owing to
hits, sod expected a large sum from his invention on the
improvement of cotton spinning. He had paid Kr. Biwa
upwards of 901.
Mr. Coramimioner Phillips held that it would be too much
to say that the insolvent bad not namable expectation of
paying the debt.

either te Osisael Copelasid or to Mrs. Edmonds
upon the amass as signed by him, or but to a very
small amount, and that Mr. Dobson was perfectly
well aware of that fact. He also thought it was a fair in-
ference from the evidence that if these sums were due from
Colonel Copeland sad Mrs. Edmonds to Dobson, there was
little, if any, chance of his getting any particle of that
money from them. Here was a young man who attained
the age et twenty one in July, 1841, and in Dumber, ImortgageB4l,l

ment of the money advanced (9611., and interest at five per
cent.) but m he thought the assignees ought to have insti-
tuted the suit earlier, he should give no costs on either side.

COURT OF QUERN'S BENCH.-JUNE 28.

DICKSON V. CAESIUM/ AND _
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a coal-mer-
chant at Lambeth, and the owner of the ship Abiona,
against the defendants, who carry on business as the West
Kent Shipping Company, to recover 11W., the damage and
eenseguent loss occasioaed by &collision, which took place
between the plaintiff's vessel the Abiona, and the defen-
dants' vessel, the West Kent. From the evidence, which,
es usual in running-down cases, was most contradictory, it
was collected that the Algona was on her passage for coals
from London to &ahem, and having passed Yarmouth was
making her way close hauled to Flamborough Head, when
the defendants' vessel was waling in the opposite
course ; sad the collision took place at three o'clock
in the morning of the 30th of August last, mule.
an injury to the plaintiff's vessel of 761., and a total loss to
him, including towing and demurrage, of 1101. The defense
was that the West Kent had used all reasonable ears to
avert the accident, which had been mainly caused by the
Abiona not having exhibited a light in time to prevent the
occurrence, and it appeared that neither vowel had.
The jury having retired, after a short: absent* returned
to
cou when
The Foreman said—We find a verdict for the defendant,
on the ground that the Abiona ought to have exhibited a
light, and her not doing so in sense way contributed to the
accident.
Lord Campbell.—Gentlemen, I entirely approve of your
verdict. It cannot be too generally known to colliers in the
North Sea that they are bound to exhibit • light. The de-
fendants are more to blame, but the plaintiffs have no right
to recover. It is most lamentable to observe how much this
most wholesome regulation is disregarded.
Verdict for the defendants.
