As the public sales of Wool will commence on Thongs,
next, and as the quantity of colonial Wool to be offered is
expected to exceed by 20,000 bales the previous estimate, in
consequence of the large arrivals which have come
forward, the demand in the private contract market
is very inactive. In addition to the large imports into
London reported by us on Saturday u having taken place
in the course of the week, amounting to 19,600 bales, 1,921
bales have since come in, making the total imports of the

An incident highly characteristic of the state of
society in the west of Ireland some 30 or 40 years
ago, but rather ill-timed at the present day, occurred
to the streets of Cast'char at the commencement of
the present assizes. It is thus described by the cor-
respondent of the Freeman :

During the progress of the fiscal business of the grand
jury this day (Tuesday) a good deal of excitement was pro.
,2uced, both an and out of court, by the fact that the high
sheriff of this county (David Watson Rutledge, Esq.), had
been publicly mutated and horsewhipped in the street out.
side the court-house, and in presence of a large concourse
of persons, by Captain M. Fitamauriee, of Lagaturn, a re-
tired military gentleman. The sheriff was standing iu con-
versation with other gentlemen, when Captain Fitzmaurice,
who was on horseback, appmached him, and asked why he
had presumed to omit his name from the grand jury panel,
and, without waiting for any reply, lw immediately struck
the sheriff several-mart blows with his whip, accompany-
ing the blow. by several oppmbrious and insulting epithets,
and then turning his horse head. he galloped out of town.
Mr. Rutledge, who is a member of the Connaught bar, pro-
ceeded to the barroom at mare, and having consulted with
his professional brethren. he. under their advice, had in-
formations drawn up and sworn, and a warrant Issued
for the arrest of the e-tatain in order to have him tried
for the °Winer. at the •rusent wises. In the present
state of the affair I restate from mentioning many cu-
rious rumours afloat hem, with which the names at' Some
grand jarurs are =lard up. but I shall do so after the
assizes.

THE ECLIPSE OF TILE SUN (TO-DAY).

From about half-past 2 till 3 this afternoon, occa-
sional glimpses of the progress of the eclipse have been
gained through points where the clouds which are con-
tinually fuming over the sun's disk have been
somewhat less dense than in other places, but at
the hour of going to press—about the time of the
greatest obecuration—the darkness visible "is the only
indication which the inhabitants of the metropolis have
that anything unusual is taking place. An almost un-
broken, though not dense, veil of clouds precludes all prat
bad observation of the phenomenon.

VAN DIENIEN'S LAND.

Tasmanian journals received to the middle of
March, are replete with notices of the rejoicings
consequent on the publication of the bill for the
better government of the Australian colonies. Her
Majesty's ship Havannah left Hobart Town on Feb.
22, on her voyage to New Zealand and the Auckland
Islands. It was the intention of Captain Erskine to
return in about two months. The harvest had turned
out an indifferent one. Mr. Bichens, the Colonial
Secretary, had died rather suddenly at the age of
sixty-six.

NEW GUINEA.

From the Jar ase We ,in - liar 14, we gather
a few items of intelligence from this remote corner
of the earth. The Netherlands possessions on tho
coast have for some time been unhealthy. All tho
officials, including the governor, Mr. A. van Eh, were
suffering from kver and rheumatism ; latterly a
favourable improvement had taken place. The un-
healthiness has been ascribed principally to the late
and heavy rains, which were suddenly followed by
excessive drought. The governor of the British pos-
sessions on the coast, Sir Wm. Winniett, had died,
and was succeeded by Mr. J. Bannerman. There
was a considerable number of European ships on the
coast.

RAILWAYS.

THIS LAY.

Twoo'Cioei:

The share market today is generally heavy, the
traffic returns being chiefly worked upon by the
" bears." From an examination of the figures (which
will be found in another column) it would be difficult
to extract •any valid reason for a decline, the
receipts on most of the chief lines, and especially
the London and North Western, Great Western, and
South Western being so much larger than last year,
at which time, too, the return was good. In Mid-
land stock, however, a fall of about 21. 10s. has
taken place, in consequence of the decrease ;
York and North Midland are also heavy, from
the same consideration, although the decrease is very
trifling; the increase in the Lancashire and York-
shire is not so great as was expected, the mileage
being now nearlythe same as last year; and by these
unfavourable circumstances, backed by heavy sales
in some de►criptions, a downward tendency has been
imparted to the market, which extends to those lines
whose prospects are acknowledged on all aides to be
most brilliant.

SPAIN.

The Spanish ministry was beaten in the vote on
M. Polo's motion for electoral reform, which they
opposed, by a majority of 67 against 43.
fhe Madrid journals of the 11th contain nothing
new on the plot which caused a military demonstra-
tion to be made. The whole of the sitting of the
Chamber of Deputies on the 10th was occupied with
a continuation of the debate on the bill for the settle-
ment of the debt. The President of the Council (M.
Bravo Murillo) spoke at some length in defence of the
bill; and took occasion to announce that, from the ac-
counts of 1850, which had just been made up, it ap-
' peered that in that year there had been no deficit
whatever; though the opposition had calculated it at
200,000,000 reels, and he himself had supposed at
one time that it would have been 18,000,000. The
minister entered into details which showed the
financial situation of the present year in a most
favourable light.

ROME, JULY 10.—M. Garailni, Chancellor of the

cluded by calling on the meeting to adjourn till Thursday.

Vthe agreement for amalgamating the three companies.

they had made with those companies;who were their natural
allies, sad to confirm the agreement subject to the amend-
ment of Mr. Waterloo.

Mr. WAGSTAFF, of Liverpool, said that Mr. butch
b•d been appointed to negotiate by letter on the part of a

bad been submitted to the London and North Ntrestern Rail-

THE NEW LAW FOR THE PROTECTION OP APPREN-
TICIA AND SERVANTS.—Yesterday the important act of
parliament which received the royal assent on Tuesday for
the better protection of persons under the care and control
of others as apprentices or servants, and to enable the guar-
dians and overseers of the poor to institute and conduct
prosecutions in certain cases, was printed. This act, which
resulted from a late painful case, contains nine clauses, and
is now in force. It is provided that persons—masters or
mistresses—refusing or neglecting to supply necessary food
to apprentices or servants, or unlawfully assaulting them,
are guilty of a misdemeanor, and liable to three years' im-
prisonment, with or without hard labour. The costs of
such prosecutions are to be allowed. A register is to be
kept of young persons under sixteen years hired or taken
as servants from any workhouse with particulars as pre-
scribed in a schedule annexed to the act. Young persona
who are hired from workhouses, or bound out as pauper
apprentices, are to be visited twice at least in every year,
and the officer is to report to the guardians "in writing
whether he has found reason to believe that such young
person is not supplied with necessary food, or is subjected
to cruel or illegal treatment in any respect." Where the
residence is more than five miles the parties are to be
visited by the *Seer of the union or parish in which they
reside. The act authorises and requires parish officers to
prosecute in certain cases where injury has been inlictsd
on a poor person under sixteen years of age. Justices an
to bind over parish officers to prosecute, and the coda of
such prosecutions are to be allowed. The act extends to
England and Wales.

THE PASSPORT SYSTEM BETWEEN

ENGLAND AND FRANCE.

The Boulogne Gazette contains the following im-
portant announcement : . . .

The French government has come to the decision of par-
tially abolishing the nuisance of the permit system, inas-
much as that they are no longer needed by persons possess-
ing passports. The convenience of this measure to the
traveller is obvious. Our Sous-Frffet has received the fol-
lowing communication on the subject from the Minister of

the Interior

" To the Sous-Pri•fet of Boulogne-our-Mer.

"Monsieur le Sous-Prefet,—You have already been in-
vited to take every measure in order that travellers on their
way to England may not be subjected to delay at

their embarking. I have recommended that travellers
arriving at Boulogne might be allowed to deport for
England on the simple exhibition of their passports.
I now confirm and renew these instructions ; it is therefore
to be well understood that travellers furnished with regular
passports arc not compelled to provide themselves with a
special permit of embarkation. This formality, which
should not have been maintained so long, is henceforth
abolished. It is likewise expedient for the future to exempt
travellers on their way to England from having their pass-
ports revised and registered. A simple examination of
these rights of travelling is all that is henceforth required
without obliging the bearers of the same to give them up.
These formalities ()Million great loss of time, and may be
abolished. I beg of you to sec that the agents and servants
of the administration charged with the service of embarks-

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

In the sitting of the Second Chamber of the 27th
alt., the debate on the address to the crown, moved
by M. Orla Lehmann, was voted by a majority of 49
against 35. The address opposes any re-establish-1
ment of an administrative and jadic:al connexion
between Schleswig and Holstein, advises against
calling the Provincial Diets of the former duchy, or
any abandonment of the right hereafter to unite
Schleswig with Denmark under the same constitu-
tion, though at present it may nut be possible to
effect the union. With respect to the kin:gent minis-
try, neither confidence nor its reverse is expressed ;
it is only said, that if the object is to be attained, the
government in its councils must display the same
courage and determination the army of Denmark has
shown in the field. The Foreign Minister spoke
against the address, and stated that, even if adopted,
the government would not be bound by it, unless
it expressed a decided want of confidence in the
cabinet.

ITALY.

PIEDNIONT.

The sitting of theWedmontese Senate on the Ist
was very animated, in consequence of a question to
ministers being on the order of the day, which
Signor Castagneto had given notice of, concerning
the erection of a public protestant church at Turin.
The tribunes were full. Signor di Castagneto de-
clared-he was actuated by no motives of intolerance,
but that in demanding an explanation on a matter
concerning the religion of the state, he only wished
to defend the constitution of tho land. /le added
that there were barely 20,000 protestants in
Piedmont, who lived in a valley, where no one
had meddled with them in so far as their liberty
of conscience was concerned ; but at Turin theru
were so few, that ho thought a private chapel was
quite sufficient for their wants. The Minister of
the Interior answered that, in a country where the ,
principle of civil equality was recognised, such re-
strictions as the hon. senator proposed were inad-
missible. Nevertheless the government would intro-
duce a bill without delay on the subject, in order to
regulate the right of opening protestant churches.
The Senate, after some further discussion, adopted
an order of the day, declaring itself satisfied with
the promise that the bill in question would be
speedily presented.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
London, England, 1851-12-06

GERMANY.

So much of public attention in Germany as is
not absorbed by the exciting intelligence from Paris,
is still devoted to the important negotiations now
going on in reference to the future customs tariffs of
dierarious states. The New l'russian Gazette confirms
our correspondent's recent statement, that the Aus-
trian government had circulated dispatches conven-
ing a commercial congress of German states, to be
held at Vienna, on the 2nd January, 1852, thus
before the Zotherein meeting at Berlin. The Dres-
deli Joureat announces the important fact, that the
governments of Saxonv and Bavaria are re-
solved to follow a united commercial policy, and
that both will support the maintenance of the Zoll-
verein. In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
at Wurtembcrg, on the Ist inst., a deputy, inquir-
ing the intentions of the government regarding the
renewal of the Zollverein, was answered by the
minister, that pending negotiations imposed a great
merle upon the cabinet ; all he could say was, that
Austria had convoked a congress, at which Wurtem-
berg would be represented, when the interests not
only of the Zollverein, but of all Germany, would
be considered.
