be no more than what had been done in former times by the

As the largest total of revenue and the largest ratio of pee-

Jo-nts Mears, a singular looking man, who was charged at
this court three weeks ago with attempting to strangle
Lirhie:f in the cells of the police-station and afterwards
giro up to his friends, was again brought before Mr.
Woolrych charged with makieg two other attempts on his
lifer in the public streets.
lr,vid Evans, 42 M, said that between 4 and 5 o'clock
on the previous afternoon he was on duty in the Dover-road,
when his attention was called to the prisoner walking off
tie pavement and felling in front of • four-wheeled cab
thit was proceeding towards London-bridge at a quick pace.
The horse trod upon him, bat by •• strenuous effort
the driver succeeded in pulling up, %beryl preventing the
wheels patting over him. He was dt from under the
Lone, and, believing that be had fallen y accident, be let
Lim go. A few minutes afterwards ranee saw him deli-
lcrately throw himself In front of • heavily laden waggon
with two horses. The carman in this instance also pulled
ter' iuit iu time to prevent the fors wheels peeving over him.
The horses, however, trod upon him and injured him severely.
Ins witness then took him into custody, and be was exa-
mined by the divisional surgeon ; but fortunately he had
rt,e.red no serious injury.
The prisoner here exclaimed, "Oh, mend me to the work-
house—send me to the workhouse, my head is so bad!"
Mr. Woolrych observed that he recollected the prisoner
.ink before him a short time ago charged with attempting
sor,le. What were the circumstances then?
S,rgeant Wise. the acting inspector, informed his tranship
that the prisoner was brought to the station-home charged
`with committing • trifling act of felony. While locked up
in the rens he made a most determined attempt to grail&
biumdf. He was remanded for a week, and on his sister at-
!ending and promising to take care of him be was liberated.
ife. however, was such an habitual drunkard that his sister
could not do anything with him.
The prisoner said his head was so bed that he did not
know what he did. When he was a lad his father beat him

see a letter in your paper of to-day signed
by " A Compositor," and complaining loudly against what
Sir George Grey promised them, and what they have not
got—that they should haves tavern and coffeehouse open in
the neighbourhood of the printing•o®ce ; but being a cattle-
, dealer, their case is not half so bad as mine, who have to
bear the pelting storm of wind sod rain during the very
hours the houses are closed. Our drovers will suffer severely.
It it all very well for Sir G. Grey, who can go to bed at 12
o'clock and rise at 9 next morning, that bill of course
will suit very well ; but if Sir G. Grey, like myself, had
to rise at 12 or 1 o'clock three days a week to get cattle
ready for the market, get on horseback and ride seta about
half-past four, rain or hail, and stand market mill 12
o'clock, and was sot able to get say ref reehmeet for man or
beast between 1 and 4 o'clock, I thick Sir Geome would
cures the time be passed the bill. But they sey the bill was
pared to put a stop to s few bad people who frequent the
Haymarket, who are no good to themselves or woes eker

THE POLISH TRIAL.

A letter from Berlin, dated the 24th inst., gives
the following particulars respecting the recent
trial of the Poles at that capital :

The High Court of Justice yesterday pronounced judg-
mat in the trial of the Poles accused of high treason.
Conformable to the conclusions of the Public Ministry,
the sentence of death has been pronounced against the
following 11 accused :—Counts Dzialynski, Guttry, Wol-
niewicz, Skoraczewski, Radecki, Taczanowski, Zakrzewski,
Lutomski, Lukaszewski, Junaewski, sod Scyfried.
According to Prussian law, pentanes of death is political
matters implies cousscation of the property of the con-
demned.

The court has admitted extenuating ciretunstances i a
regards 27 of the accused, and has consequently sentenced
them only to imprisonment in a fortress. Their crime is
thus defined :—" Acts tending to prepare the execution of
a crime of high tressoe." Among the condemned in this
category are MM. Xieyolewski and Kosioski (for two
years), Rusteyko and Martweli (18 mouths), Prince CZAZ-
toryski and M. Collier (for one year).
The sentence of imprisonment does not imply confisca-
tion of the property of the sentenced, nor bare they to pay
the costa of the trial, which it is said exceed 1,200,000 fr.

AU the other persons accused, to the number of 100,
have been acquitted. _

POPE S ENCYCLICAL.

The Munde is delighted with the Encyclical. It
says :

Undoubtedly there will be struggles to endure ; error
is not to be overcome without a conflict, and we shall have
to undergo a deluge of sophisms and a tempest of outrages
and insults. But what does that signify We koow the
truth ; ws have an intrepid leader in the Pope, chiefs not less
intrepid in the bishops; that is enough to secure our Tic-
Wry if we can submit our intelligence with equal faith
and humanity. It is so clear to Christians that
spiritual interests ate above temporal interest., that Cod
is higher than man, and that the church, divinely eats.
blWhed, is superior to all purely human societies, that no
one of the propositions condemned by Pius IX. can retain
for any of us even the 'ambiance of truth. After this, we
OM let the unbelieving press raise its clamour ; we can let
it say that Pius IX. condemns society itself, and launches an
insolent defiance against our time ; no matter what it says.
That press is acting in its true character, and we had no
reason to expect its co-operation. As fur the hypocri-
tical press, which assumes the mask of catholicism to
weaken the church and quietly destroy the Pontifical
authority, we leave it to indulge its affected sorrows, to
cry that Pius IX. has struck a fatal blow at the Koreas
of catholicism, and that there is no hope except in ' the
irresistible strength of the liberal current ; we will let it
blame the Pontifical act, • while accepting it with all the
respect due to everything emanating from the Sovereign
Pontiff.' as the Francr said yesterday. Neither violence
nor hypocrisy must disconcert us. Rome has spokes ; for
true eatholiae there cannot be two modes of receiving its
decisions; they do sot keel at first to buffet aftet wards—
they hear and obey."
The Union does not conceive that any remarks are called
for on the document ; Mace it em•wtes from the Pope, it
most be perfect.
•, Let us." says our contemporary, "admire and bless the
[sd•tatigable solicitude and heroic courage of the angus

Pontiff, who in the midst of all the tribulations by which
he is mailed, tennis... his vigour and constancy in the go.
verament of the church and in the direction of souls. Let
as unite our prayers to his, follow his teaching, and de.
fend his rights."

SPAIN.

The Chamber of Deputies at Madrid has com-
pleted the organisation of its bureau by the nomi-
nation of vice-presidents and secretaries, who all
belong to the ministerial party. In the Senate, of
the four secretaries named, two are supporters of
the cabinet, and two belong to the opposition. In
the Senate it is that the new ministry must expect
to meet with the greatest resistance. According to
the Epoca the votes of that assembly as at present
composed are divided as follows, without taking into
account the members who may arrive at Madrid be-
fore the division on the address and that on the Santo
Domingo question:—Ministerial majority, 104 ; de-
clared opposition, 58; doubtful, 16. In the Chamber
of Deputies the Count de San-Luis and 5L Nocedal
are mentioned as the moat conspicuous leaders of
the opposition ; but, says the Corraponderecia,
those ex ministers can only count on about twenty
deputies. The Consultative Junta of War at
Madrid has held a meeting to examine the project
of abandoning Santo Domingo, and the Correspon-
dencia makes the following remarks on the sitting :
The Marquis de Pezaela voted spinet each a 011110BOXII in
• military point of view, making that deiMinn, however,
subordinate to any OCOCOlniCal or political considerations
which might induce the government to adopt it. The other
members°, the junta, while not denying the possibility of
suppressing the insurrection, declared in favour of the aban-
donment of the island, where the soldiers were falling
without either glory or benefit to their country, not before
their enemies, but as victims of • climate which could not
be supported.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

GERMANY AND THE DUCHIES.

Aooording to a letter from Vienna in the /nal.
pendance Beige Austria has proposed to Prussia to
hand over to the Duke of Augustenburg the deeds
of possession of the Duchies which those two
powers hold in virtue of Article 3 of the treaty of
Vienna ; the Diet to be then called upon to re-
cognise the new sovereign as a member of the
Confederation. The Russian Ambassador, who
took these propositions to Berlin, has returned to
Vienna, it is said, with a refusal. M. de Bismarck
is of opinion that the question is not yet ripe for
settlement, and that all the claims, those of Prussia
included, must be Stilt examined by the juriscon-
sults. This is said to be the first time that the
Prussian pretensions to the succession of the
Duchies have been officially put forward.

ADVICE OF THE CARDINALS TO THE
POPE.

Letters from Naples affirm that Cardinal
d'Andrea is not the only member of the Sacred
College who is in favour of a compromise with
Italy. It is stated that if circumstances require
it four other Cardinals are ready to pronounce for
the same course. These letters say that after two
or three extraordinary congregations, held at the
Vatican, the Cardinals, by 17 or 18 votes out of
23, counselled the Pope and Cardinal Antonelli

THE POPE'S ENCYCLICAL AS VIEWED IN
ITALY.

The Italia of Tuesday, commenting upon the
eucyclical, makes the following remarks :

That which we foresaw ia realised. The encyclical
of the court of Rome is hardly known in name and an
immense sensation is already produced respecting this ana-
thema launched against civil society, public law, popular in-
stitutions, and modern hberaliam. Far from making the con.
cessions recognised to be indispeosable, the Vaticaa, taking
en extreme decision, has abruptly broken with the principles
which govern, not only Italy, but France and liberal
Europe. Wedo not hesitate to say that the character of the
encyclical offers a double alternative : either this document
is not serious, is • dead letter, and without any significatioo,
which appears to us inadmissible, or it is an important and
solemn manifestation of the Court of Rome, and in that case
the Roman question issimplitled, and approaches its solution.
France has felt bound to manifest a certain amount
of consideration and herself to defend the temporal inte-
rests of the Holy See. The Holy See answers by refusing
to the government of Napoleon ILL the right of internee-
lag in the affairs of the Vatican. and the Pope replies to the
advice tendered him from Paris or elsewhere, that he alone
has the right of miluencing princes and directing them
in a measure of which he is the judge. Lastly,
he sets the admission of the temporal power and the par-
tisans of popular sovereignty upon the mine level. It is
useless to argue with such an arrangement of idea,. Were
the papal theory to triumph, the Pope would be in future
not only the head of catholicity, but the master of kings and
emperors. We doubt that, with the exception of the ex-
King Francis IL and Queen Isabella, many crowned heads
will accept the domination of the tiara.

ACCOUNT.

When the outposts of the Raven brigade bad
almoet completed their entrenchments, the com-

to get into an open third class carnage. Two gentlemen
got in after her, sod when they stopped at Three Bridges
Station the prisoner got in. He appeared much
excited, and sat by her side. A. soon an
the train got in motion again he offered her •
bottle to drink out of, which she declined. He then laid
his hand on her in rather an indecent manner, when she
repulsed him and moved away. A little while after that
he stooped down, pot his heed under her clothes, sod con-
ducted himself so disgracefully that she was compelled to
appeal to this gentlemen in the carriage for their protec-
tion until the arrival of the train at Loudon-bridge. They
told the prisoner that his conduct was shameful, and that
they intended to give him into custody to the first offioer.

The supply of English wheat oa sale in our market to-

Both red and whit* samples met a dull inquiry, yet, com-
pared with Meader, no change took place in the quotations.
At the close of business, a total clearance of the stands had
not been effected.
The show of I ' wheat was seasonably good. Selected
qualities mostly realised easy fall prices, with a moderate
*airy. Low and damp parcels were way dull, but no
quotable change took place in the currencies compared with
Monday.
There was only a limited sale for boating cargoes of
grain, at about previous rates.
Fine barley, the show of which was only moderate, com-
mended full prices. In grinding and distilling sorts, the
transactions were on a limited scale at barely late rates.
Malt was in good supply, and heavy request, at about
stationary price..
Fee eats were scarce, and quite as dear as last week. All
other kinds were heavy, at the late decline.
The inquiry for beans was steady, but no cheese took
place in prices.
Peas realised farmer terms. The demand for them, how-
ever, was inactive.
