GERMANY.

An agreement has been come to between the
Staatholderate and the two commissioner/. By a
proclamation of the former is appears that all the
demands of the commissioners have been uncon-
ditionally acquiesced in. Hostilities are to be at once
discontinued, and the rights of the cowry placed
under the protection of the German Diet. One tele-
graphic despatch says that the Austrian army are to
discontinue their march, and another that Austrian
troops are to ocmpy Holstein. The Austrian, Prus-
sian, and Russian monarchs will shortly, it is affirmed,
meet at Dresdeo. The old Diet is to be re-established,
we are told, with very slight modifications, which sup-
poses the cotsent of Pluiaia.; Austria's plan of a Zoll
Union is the tame as that which Was approved of by
all the German rates, with the exception of Bruns-
wick. Oa the footing of this plan she is ready to
treat with Prussia on the subject; and, it Prussia
refuses to do so, she will send deputies to the Zollve-
rein Congress which is to meet at Dresden next
February.
Our correspondent writes as follows:
DRESDEN, JAN. 10.
Herr von Mantenffel has reappeared in Dresden.
Hs arrived this al:ernoon, early enough to be present
at the third general sitting of the conferences, and
afterwards to partake of the hospitality of his col-
league in the representation of Prussia, Count Alvena-
',ben, who entertained at dinner most of the great
men at present in this city. What was done or said
in the general sitting of the plenipotentiaries
remains, as urinal, a secret; but it is known
that the section or commission in trade na-
vigation, &c., will not meet again until the
20th cr 22nd of the month. The sittings have
been adjourned, in order to give time for the fu.fill-
meat of invitations which have been issued to all the
governments of Germany to send to Dresden practical
men, acquainted with ell the details of the mercantile
and manufacturing industries of each state, who are
to assist the political plenipotentiaries with their
advice on the simplest commercial questiots, all ac-
quaintance with which the majority of Germs poli-
ticians have hitherto avoided with such ill-starred
dexterity.
I learn that the Austrian government intend to
despatch as many troops into Holstein as they can.
The army under Legeditsch will be followed by
another «pally numerous, which is now waiting for
orders to march, and which will pass through this
city. Its numbers are stated at between sixteen and
twenty thousand men.
Ido not pronounce my own opinion alone, but that
of many 'practical and sensible men, when I rate
I do not believe that the Austrians will not
leave Holstein as readily as they have entered
it. The world has much to learn yet of the
Austrian plans. Hesse Cassel and Holstein are
not the sole points to which their military
plans are or were directed. It is rumoured abroad
that the Austrian government desired to disiccate a
large force in Oldenburg aid Brunswick ; to punish
the former for its pertinacious adherence to the Zoll-
verein, and the latter for its refusal to permit the pas-
sage of the Austrians on their road to Holstein.
I have just learned that Manteuffel returns to
Berlin on Sunday morning, and that Prince Schwarzen-
berg will not remain much longer in Dresden. A
special train will carry him when he returns from
Dresden to Prague. This will be the first time that
this railway will be used throughout.

LEATII OF A PAUPER AT HETWOOD.—VOTE OF
CIINSURI Ott Tel BURT BOARD or GUARDTANS. —On
Thursday morning lass en adjourned inquest on the body of
ltdmund Weld, aged 71, who died in the Bury workhouse
on the 16th tilt, was held at 11,-yword. Oa the 11th ult.
deceased fractured his thigh, sad on the 15th was removed
to the Bury workhouse, where he was attended by Mr.
one of the medical officers of the WIWI!!
Hs died the day following. The surgeons who made the
post swollen examination gave it u their opinion that
deceased had died of a bed sore. Mr. Woodcock, clerk to
the board of guardians, attended, and from a letter he
had sent to Mr. Hicxman, it appeared he intended to
show that the deceased died, not for want of a water-
bed, or Hooper's water cushion, but frtm injudicious nut-
meat of the medical officer. Several experienced surgeons
were examined, and the inquiry pr.ved to be a very long
ore. It was admitted that a water cutlithi might have
assisted in deceond's recovery, but it eppeared there had
been great neglect in not carrying out the orders of the
surgeon. The jury nturned the following verdict: "It is
the opinion of the jury that Edmund Wild died from bed
sotcs; but must accompany that verdict with the censure
of the jury upon the guardian, for want of proper atten-
tion to the deceased in not forwarding such means as in
the opinion of the medical officer ware eonaidered essential
for obviating, or endeavouring to make his disease less pain-
ful or fatal."

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE PAST

WEEK,

The official report says: In the week ending last
Saturday, 1,023 deaths were registered in the districts of the
metropolis. In the corresponding weeks of the ten years
(1841-50), the average was 1,162; compared with which the
present return exhibits a favourable resell. And if it could
be safely assisted, notwithataeding the effects of various
epidemics, that the population has increased yearly at the
rate of 1.55 per cent. (the annual rate of increase observed
in London between the two otr.susts of 1831 and 1841) and
the above average were proportioaalty augmented, the com-
parison would show the public health of the week in a
still more satisfactory point of view. But it will be found on
elimination that, in five out of the ten corresponding weeks,
the returns differ little from that of last week, or fail much
beeew it, whilst an excessive morality presses on other parts
of the series, the deaths rising to 1,450 at one period, when
iefluensa was on the wane, at another, when cholera load
broken out In Diouet's institution, and thus swelling the
aceeunt above what an ge state of health would
produce.
The lent week exhibits a marked improvement on the first
week of the year, chi, fiy in the decline of fever and the cid.
deeeies to whlcn children are subj. ci, hut ilea in Ine
diminished dream of diseases of the respiratory organs. In
the previous week the deaths from epidemic, in the
aggregate, were 239, in the lost they were 173; and to take
parliculer maladies in this claw, there were an the former
week, fro. senall.p,k, measles, scarlatina, and hooping
cough, 28, 29, 14, and al, respectively; in the last week
there were 16, 21, IG, 43; aearia•ina alone, which however is
uow less fatcl than usual, not showing a decrease. Typhus
has declined in the two weeks from 43 to 35 ; erysipelas from
14 to 2. Amongst complaint, whica assume an epidemic
&semester, influenze alone @hews any tendency to inertias ; it
has carried off 9 persons in the week, though it usually
reaches lees than half that number. In connexion with three
cases of typhus, which proved total in three different parts
of the metropolis, the registrars call attention in their notes
to the circumstances in which these events cccurred, here

%VitTy;;;FoTrcrowded court," which had been repeat-
e,ly complained of as the nursery of disease; at another
place, " miserable huts," which had been constructed with-
out regard to comfort or decency ; and in the third sate, •
small b tck room is deseribed, where sir. persons bad been
and into which sir cou!cl not penetrate either by
mew of the chimney or other channel.
Fatal eases sliming from affections of the respiratory organs
(exclusive of hopping cough ant
,phthisis) are diminished
from 321 in the former weck,to 27a in the last; !Ind amongst
these, laryngitis from 11 to 4, bronchitis from 152 to 130,
pneumonia from 101 to 95, and asthma from 37 to 27. In
the same period, phthisis exhibits a decrease from 147 to 123.
Oa the 7th of January, in St. Gilessin-the Fields. at the
Union Workhouse, a woman, who had been a t, died,
as stated in the medical certificate, from " old age and decay,'
alter having reached the extraordinary age of 105 years.
Mr. Faulkner, the registrar, lades "this woman retained
full possession of all her faculties t:11 within a fortnight of
her ' It is not stated, as is desirable is such cases,
whether so singular a fact rests on the authority of a parish
register or other sufficient evidence.
The births of 792 beta and 783 girls, in all, 1,580 children,
were registered in the week. The go of six cones-
ponding weeks in 1945-60 was I,;s-)6.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT COWLAIRIL—TRIAL
AND ACQUITTAL or Tux PRIM/MM.—The Minh Court of
Justiciary of Seotland sat on the 10.. h inst., for the trial of
Jatocs Cardel!, John °Millar, John Fulton, and Jame§
Brown, enginemen and guests in the employment of the
Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company. The indictment
set out the specific charge against each of the traverser' re
spectively, and concluding with averring that, by reason of
cue misconduct and culpable neglect of the accused, John
Morrison, Jean Lennox, Janet ld'Artkur' Walter Lennox,
jun., and George Middleton, passengers by cud railway
train, were mortally injured, and afterwards died. The
prosecution wet conducted by the Solicitor-General and
the prisoners pleaded not guilty. There was a large
attendance of witnesses, most of whom deposed to the facts,
with which the public have been made already acquainted
by the reports of the accident as published in the news-
papers. At the close of the evidence, which did not appear
sufficiently strong to warrant a verdict of guilty against the
prisoners, the Solicitor General said that they had felt it to
be their duty, on the part of the crown, to bring this
matter to trial, The evidence for the prosecution had now
been led; nod while, on one hand, they thought that ft
was of such a character as fully justified the course which
they had taken, he thought that it would alas justify
them in taking the course which he was now about to
do—v.s., that of withdrawing the charge libelled against
all the panels. And he Kell so on this plain ground, that
although, it might be quite true that, as regarded the
literal and technical cons.ruction of the rules upon
the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, he might he able to
make out a case against some or all of the panels, yet he
could not help feeling that the point had now been reduced
to so very narrow a compass, and that the confusion upon
the line was so very great, that it would, in his opinion, be
hardly ri,rbt to go to a jury and ask for a verdict at their
band.; and, therefore, feeling that the interests of the
public by the trial, so far as it bad proceeded, had been fully
secured, he thought he was warranted in passing from the
charge against all the parties at the bar. These observations
ware followed up by a very impressive address from Lord
Justice Clerk, fully approving the course taken by the
crown, when the jury returned a verdict of " Not Guilty"
in the case of all the panels, who were thereupon dis-
charged from the bar.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A SOLICITOR.—Oa Monday
at Abingdon, an inquest was held, to irquire into the death
of Mr.. Thomas Fraukum, solicitor, and for many years clerk
to the magistrates in that tows. It seemed, that on Friday 1
the 20th ult., the deceased, with a Mr. Nicholls, went in a
dog cart to Lechlade, Gloucestershire, accompanied on the
way by Mr. B. Harris, draper, and his servant, who were in
another vehicle. When the business which took the parties
to Lechlade was concluded, they dined and drank mode-
rately, and returned from there about seven o'clock in the
evening. On their way home they stopped at Faringdon,
and Putty Fevre, at both of which places they had refresh-
ments, not sueltient however, it was alleged to produce in-
toxication. It was about ten o'clock when they left Posey
Furze, and when between that place and Kingston Bag-
, poise, Mr. Mich°ire horse swerved from the road and went
up a lye lane, when Mr. Harris passed him, and the former
on getting into the road again w►ipped his horse, end
passed the other vehicle at a gallop, and then his horse
slackened his pace, and Mr. Harris again paned him, sad
they kept in that position at the rate of about I 2 miles an hour
until on coming to a part of th road where some heaps of
stone were placed at the side for repairs, the vehicle of Mr.
Nicholl's came in contact with them, and threw both him
and Mr. Frankum out violently, and it was subsequently
found that the thigh of the deceased was hectored by the
fall. The coroner ordered apost ',who) examination to be
made, and the medical evidence showed that death ensued
directly from COOpetioll of the brain. The jury returned
a verdict of aczidental death.
