General Codrington was expeote•lto arrive at Con-
stantinople on the 13th.
The Presse d'Orierst announces that the Porte is
preparing a convention, regulating the details of the
evacuation. Six English regiments are leaving for
Canada, five for Gibraltar, three for Corfu, and nine
for Malta. The Sardinian division has left.

The Porte proposes to create a gendarmerie after
the French model.
Lord Stratford de Radcliffe has obtained the assur-
ance from the Ottoman government that the severest
measures shall be taken against the assassins of M.
Onarmani, the English agent at Marasch; these
criminals will be brought to Constantinople.
The labours of the commission named for settling
the limits of the frontiers of Bessarabia will extend
over three months.

The Turkish Contingent are to quit Kertch for
Asia, for the purpodi of reinforcing moveable columnr.
Boa-Mssa has taken up his residence at Batoum.
The criminal process at Varna relative to the mur-
der of a Bulgarian girl by a Puha, is terminated.
The Pacha has been found guilty, and his sentence
was about to be published.
A report from Sefer Packs, addressed to the Porte,
confirms the taking of the village of Sunnech, in
Cireassis, by the Russian., the latter carrying off
8.000 bead of cattle. The Circassians at Acapa urge
Turkey to send them assistance.
Peace has been proclaimed at Tiflis. Waif Pacba
ex-commandant of Lars, is now at the former
plane.

- The 49th of the line, 6th Cuirassiers, the Dragoons,
and Artillery of the Guard have arrived here (Mar-
seilles). The number of men arrived is 4,000. We
are enjoying very warm weather. Corn is falling
in the markets of Aix and Podium. African corn,
for delivery at the end of the year, has fallen in this
market from 23fr. to 20fr. the heotolitre. Wheat, for
immediate delivery, is firm, on account of the scar-
city. Immense quantities of corn from the Levant
are expected in July, and therefore a considerable
fall may be looked for before that time.

MALTA, MAT 16.

The proclamation published by the goverament has
had the effect of quieting the people. The Italians
circulate freely through the city. A pardon has
been granted to all except the murderer of the
inspector of police.

THE BOUND DUES.

The B6rsenteitsing announces that negotiations
have commenced between the governments of Prussia
and England, touching the new propositions of Den-
mark relative to the sound dues—propositions to

were from 2fr. 50c. to sfr. higher. It was remarked
today that money is vary abundant in the market.
The cessation of the extravagant rate of interest paid
for reports daring the war induces capitalists
to seek for other investments of a more :tangible
nature. The new gas company of Marseille. (capital
10 millions) the subscription for which was °craned
yesterday, has placed all its shares. There were ha.
men.. crowds at the doors of the office. A new
financial company (capital 100 million) 'which pro-
fuses to assist Societe. Anonyms., in the same way
that the Credit Mobilise hss aided Societe. en Corn-
' Plaudits, obtained the whole subscriptions required

Count de Mousy will, it is expected, leave Paris
for St. Petersburg from the sth to the 10th of

suite, many of the extraordinary attachés to his mis-
sion not having made arrangement. to leave Paris
till the 16th.
A French war steamer will proceed to Civil&
Vecchia, at the beginning of June, to fetch the Pope's
legate, who is coming to Paris to represent his holi-
ness at the christening of the Imperial Prince.
M. de Seebeck, who it will be remembered, took
a large part in the negotiations which preceded the
unexpected acceptance, pier et simple, by Russia, of
the four points, has just left Paris, and is going, it is
said, to meet Count de Hawked. (his father-in-law),
in Germany.
The Daily News was seized to-day for an article
defending Lord Raglan's memory against the impel.
alone contained in M. de Bazancourt's new work.

A letter from Spain, in the Menager du Midi,
rates that Barbee, after having been kept for several
days in custody on board the Ville de Bilbao corvette,
had been embarked in the Pelago, on May 16, fcr
Cadiz, from whence he was to be sent to Portugal.

BELGIUM.

The Belgian ministry received a cheek in
the sitting of the chamber of deputies of May
10th. The government had presented a bill re-
lative to the tariff, declaring certain things
free of duty, end putting additional duties
on others until next year, when a new general
Customs' law is intended to be brought forward. :M.
Memoir having moved as amendment to exempt iron
of all descriptions from import duty, the Finance Mi-
nister declared that the amendment would destroy
the whole economy of his project, and that be could
not therefore adopt it. The minister even t onteste el
the right of the chamber to consider the amendment
and moved the previous question, which was rejected
by 37 votes splint 23.

SPAIN.

MADRID, MAT 20.

The democrats have brought forward • vote of
censure on the government, on account of the events
at Valencia. The motion wu supported by M.
Zigueras. M. Jose °lmago, in answer to an allu.
aim, delivered some happily chosen and eloquent sen-
tence in defence of the progreasista party, and the
union of the marshals. Oener•l Zabel• defended
himself with dignity and energy, and produced •
great sensation in the &umber. The Doke of Vie.

ITALY.

(PROW OVA OWN

ROME, May 16.
The government of his Holiness evidently consi-
ders the tons adopted in the British Parliament, rela-
tive to the present condition of Italy as something
too monstrous to remain in the unnoticed obscurity
to which foreign observations on Roman affairs are
usually condemned by the official journal of this
city. In the number published yesterday evening,
the Roman Journal quotes Lord Palmerston's speech
of the sth instant, with the following moderate pre-
amble : " Lord Palmerston spoke at length in favour
of the treaty, and we do hot hesitate to bring before
the eyes of our readers the following words uttered
by the noble lord, in order that they may render
tbem the subject of seriousconsideratioe."Theßoman
journal then briefly quotes his lordship's remarks on
the foreign occupation of Central Italy, and merely
displays its abhorrence of his sentiments by printing
the concluding sentence in italics—" The holy city
was never better governed than during the absence
of the Pope, who cannot maintain himself in Rome
without the support of a foreign force."
I understand that it is by his Holiness's express
command that these strictures, more or less faith-
fully translated, make their appearance in the
official journal ; probably with a view to appeal
to the better judgment of Christendom, and the
attachment of his own subjects, on a question so
vital to the Hily See as any modification of
its tenure of temporal and sovereign dominion.
It is, however, to the decision of the European
Powers that the Ecelesiastieal Government must torn
its anxious attention in the peseta emergency, for
little hope of sympathy has it from the inhabitants
of the Roman Sates beyond the narrow circle of
those whose immediate interests are connected with
priestly dominion. The diplomatic exertions of
Antonelli and the inert resistance of Austria are
what the court of Rome chiefly trusts to for salvation
from the ruin which menaces its despotic rule.
The conferences between the Pope and the Grand
Duke of Tuscany are not likely to furnish any in-
surmountable obstacle to the will of the Northern
Powers, even should they cr'incide with the determi-
nations of his Bourbonic Majesty of Naples. His
Holiness paid the Grand Duke a visit on Monday, and
was received by his royal highness, together with
his sons and the Count of Trapani, brother of the
King of Naples, at the foot of the stairs of the
Palazzo di Firenze, the Mies of the grand ducal
party and the Couotess of Trapani meeting the Pope
at the entry of the suite of apartments. The present
political difficulties and the conditions of a Concordat
are given as the subject of • long conversation be-
tween the Pope and Grand Duke, but such matters
are probably treated in a more business-like way by
Cardinal Antonelli and the Duke of Ceasigliano than
by their sovereigns.
Much as the Papal government owes to the Emperor
of the French, it cannot yet forget the part once
taken by him in revolutionary movements subversive
of the Papal throne. A singular proof of this lurking
antipathy was recently afforded by the refusal of
Father Buttaoni, master of the Sacred Palace, and
official censor of the press in Rome, to grant permis-
sion for the publication of a biography of
Napoleon 111., recently translated from the
French by Signor G—, a Roman letterato of
merit; who then applied for the necessary authorisa-
tion from Monsignor Berardi, under-secretary of
state. Being again relined, he entreated to know
whether there was anything objectionable which he
could expunge from his manuscript, and so render it
fit for the public; but the prelate replied frankly,
" How can we possibly allow you to publish the bio-
graphy of a man whore trial for political offences in
this country has not yet been completed?" The
author had nothing further to urge against so potent
a reason, and acknowledged that it would be better,
all things considered, not to publish a work which
might contain revelations prejudicial to the interests
of the Emperor.

NAPLES.

(PROM OEM OWN

NAPLES. MAT 15.

The last notices from the Conferences, embracing
the whole of the protocols, have been received here
with great satisfaction ; for, though the representa-
tives of Rue,* Prussia, and Austria refused to dis-
cuss the Italian question, men feel that it has
made a great advance, and hope that something will
now be done. Austria—for in Austria is the entire
Italian question centred—may resist; but she cannot
successfully resist the united opinion and action of
England and France, supposing France to be as
earnest and as honest as her ally. Therefore are the
Italians more hopeful, and the silence of expectation
seems to have invaded all things. As to the probs.,
bility of Austria anticipating the Western Powers,
and presenting a note herself to this court, she has
done nothing that diplomacy knows of, at pre-
sent; and it is much to be desired that she should
not. In fact, the whole affair would be a farce—it
would be Austria presenting a note to herself, for
there can be no hesitation in saying that it is Aus-
trian occupation and her moral influence which give
strength and vitality to despotism in Italy. 'To-
morrow would and must be changed the state of
things were her support withdrawn from the feeble
sovereigns who now claim the right of misgoverniog
the most beautiful country in Europe. The only
effectual mode of accomplishing any good will be
through the interposition of the Western Powers : a
crowd of reasons for this intervention suggest them-
selves, for experience has already proved that diplc-
antic notes, the exposures of the press, and the indig-
nation of the world have not produced the slightest
change. On the contrary, except in a relaxation of
the action of the police, things have been falling from
worse to worse. _ _

One astounding fact is in itself a sufficient proof of
tilt Insensibility of this government to public opinion ;
and that is the sufferings of the political prisoners
continued at such a conjuncture as the present. I
communicated to you some details recently ; to these
I add others of a more harrowing description. With-
out any regard to bodily suffering, those unfortunate
men are not only kept lingering in a prison, the damp.
nese of which is destroying them, but are compelled
to wear a chain. So much oppressed is Poerio by its
weight that he varies his suffering by shifting it
from his waist to his shoulders, according as the
severe pains in his back or his cheat render necessary.
My statement is not exaggerated; it is the simple
troth, sod may be implicitly depended upon.
Poerio can scarcely walk, and yet bears a
chain. Order is a well-sounding word, but what is
the order worth which is built upon such barbarities
as these, and which gives its sanction to a system of
government which is daily more and more demora-
lising and impoverishing the country !
Councils of miuiiters are being held continually,
but I do not think anything of importance is being
discussed. Indeed, the general feeling is that the
King will resist interference and assert his divine
right to miagoverument. It is for other Powers to
consider, not whether they .will permit a violation of
justice and humanity, but whether they will permit
a smouldering fire to remain near their own houses.
One or two cares of political arrest have occurred
within the last week, though one of the persons was
set at liberty directly. Great anxiety, too, is felt u
to the expression which public feeling assumes at
present, sud the police tooctionartes have received
orders to send in full reports. In this solemn crisis,
time is still found to prohibit wide-awakes of a chest-
nut colour, whilst black and white ones ate legalised.
The following curious fact occurred • few days
since. Tne frigate Amelia bad been ordered for sea,
for the exercise of the Guardia Marine. A ministerial
order docked the rations to the amount of one condo
of wins a day. When out of port the sailors would
not work the vessel, and she was compelled to return.
What line of conduct is to be adopted in consequence
of this mutioy I have not as yet heard of.

pattern of Brussels, states that the Russian Y. stela which

Dr. Thomas Thomas Nunneey. examined by Mr. Grove, Q C.—l
aim a fellow of the College of Surir.ons, and professor of
surgery in the Lee .e school of medicine. I have been in
pr.c tice twenty or thirty year., and am a member of /event
I d s.cieties both Enghell arid foreign. I have seen
many cases of tetanus, both traumatic and idiopotbie. I
have seen four of the latter cl to ; they did not al commence
with the symptoms of 14a.jaw. Coe did not so com-
mence. I have been present during the evidence of the
symptoms of Mr. Cook, and bar, .1.0 previously read the
depositions relating to that part e f the ca.e. I am of opi-
nion, from all the fact. thus brought to my knowledge, VAS
' Cook died of some convulsive disease. I found t its opi-
nion upon the symptoms described in the de pl6itiOUP, and
on the evidence before the court. With regard to the
a)mptoms as desnibed by the witnesses to this court, I am
of opinion he died of some coavulaive disease. The pre-
. rhino state of health of the deceased confirmed my opinion
in this respect.

Mr. Sarjearit She. here took up the examination of the
witness upon en ohj ction taken to the mode of 'geminate:a
with regard to the symptoms ex►ibited by t►e deemed.
The witne's fur-her said—l have paid attention to the
evidence relating to the previous state of health of the de.
ceased, the symptoms at the time of his death, and the putt'
enters of the post mortem eaaminatioe. I alto heard the
evidence relating to tee state of his throat. I arsume the
deceased to have been a men of very delicsto constitution,
that for a long period he tilt himself to be ailing, for which
he had been under medical treatment, ih.t he had suffered
from e)philts, that he bad disease of the lunge, and old
studios digress of the throat, th.t he led an irregular life,
that be was suhjectto mental excitement, and that al er death
spumous ware found on his ho ly which showed this tO
be the use. There was found an unusual appearance
within the stomach, the throat wee in an unnatural condi-
tion, and the bock of the tongue showed simi:ar itdications.
The lungs were in a diseased eonditi in, and the air cells
dilated. Tnere was an unnatural deposit in the aorta, and
there was a very un•eual deposit in the membranes
of the spinal marrow. These were all unnatural
indications upon the pent mortem examina`ion. I
am also of opinion that one '.f the eons mentioned
could only have resulted from a ethereal ulcer.
From all there eircumstuces I should infer that the state
of health of the deemed to told not have been good, and
coupling them with the tart tt a' the father and mother of
the deo wed died coons, I am I opinion that Cook's con-
dition would reed. r bim very liable to nervous irritations.
I also think 1114 moral Causes in sect • constitution
would be likely to produce the same result Any ex-
citement or depression would, in my tpnion, have that
tendency, and so would a ri•oroered sumach; but in
this case a good deal would depend upon the
violence of that disorder. V olent comities would
also produce effects much greater than on • healthy
person. Exposure to wet and cAd would also have much
more affect than they would have os • aulthy person, and
a convulsive diseath was much m re likely to sop TUT, in a
conatituticia such as that I source Co .k's lo have been. I
understand that be awake suddenly two or three night. be-
fore Lis death and s►id he was hall mad, and that he
had two other similar attacks, each r c :erring about theism
hour; and I infer from these circumath..cee the they were
of a convulsive character, in the absence of uthi r causes to ac-
count for them. Cunvu'sive 'nuke are very various in their
forms and degrees—u ranch as is pos•ible. It is not peseible
to give 'definite name to the dseren• cheeses of convuhions
that occur in the human frame. There ere some forms of
convulaioes in which the patio' t retains his c thscioustuse.
flp PPP iP is one of them. It i. sated in the books also, that
there ere some to: ins f 'Oh ptio convulsions in which the
patieatleuies his corsaiousneu.
The Lord Chief Justice-1i ITO you ever met with such
a case?

Witness—l have not, my lord.
Baron Alderson—Nut in yoor five-and-twenty or thirty

Witness—No my lord.

Raarnication'con.rinurd—ln most case' of eplepey, con-
sciousness is entirely loot. Convuleive attacks are frequently
attended with spume and rig dey of some pertions of the
body. Convulsions, properly so called, sometimes assume
the form of a cyanic door. .er. I bare red the passage
from Dr. Copeland's work, and I egret entirely with what
he there states ea to the eyruptono of convulsion,. They
apply to coeuslelorts arising from almost any cause, worms
in children, hysteria, asd in come uses the administration
of chlorr font. This would also apply to convulsions occa-
sioned by thieve of the spinal cord, or eating indigestible
feed. 1 have cover known an inrance of its laTirlng from
retching and vomitirg. I ogres with Dr. Copeland that
these cenvulei,,ms fr. quently end almost immediately hi
death, and the immediate or prosimate cause of death in
that case would be asphysia, or suffocation. I also urn
in the epinio• that coovulsions do recur, and I have
myself seen such CAN., and where there have been periods
of hours and tornetim.s data between the attack,. I have
seen • patient r, cover in • few minute.. a din others some
hour' have eloped between the fite In eon of this kind
I inf. r that the convulsien grins from some irritation of
the heath or dinan of the spinal cord, hut it frequently
happen' in these c uses that epee a pay mortem examina-
tion ro trace of di can be found. I mu not aware of
the existence of granules in the dere muter being common
at any age, and I should not draw any particolar inference
from thole appt trance. 1 have not formed any (pinion as
to the cause or effect of these granules, but they
might undoubtedly produce an effect uron the
spinal cord, end there are instances where the
patients are said to have died from tetanus
in conuquerce of them. I have seen preparations
of such cases in St. Thomas's Iloepital. I consider in such
• case that the post mortem examination of the spinal cord
should take place immediately titter drub, in order to the
forming of a sitiafectory op nof the cause of death.
A large tumour might poetibl be found at any period, but
airy softening or induration at tee spinal marrow could not
be die livered if any leeg hefted period, such as
two months, had 'larded. The nervous structure
undergoes a c =piste change very shortly after
death. I c insider it moult he nee eeeee y to use a micro-
note to ezomine the nervous structure to ascertain
wheal, rit was diseased. I have seen a {col many cuss of
traumatic t. tenus. Three of the cases of idiopathic tettnas
that I attended wen ace inpanied by Inek-;aer u the first
symptom. The fourth eau began on the body, the facility
of swallowing remaining. I have nude the pout mortem exa-
mieetioa of tw, p-rsons who died from psis on by strychnine
within the last twelve ciente", and I bare seen the effects
of au overdose of artychrone. I dirt not see either of
the patients before death. I eventoined, by the-
mieal analysis in toll ewe, that the death arose
from strychuis. In both cases I ascertained the r once of
"'eyehole. In one instance the p art mortem examination
was forty-two hours after death, and she other thirty hour'.
The body in ih- first case was entire when I commeneed the
examination. [The wither read from his notes the particulars
of the postmortem rumination. The expreeeion of the face
wee distorted, goo the limb' rigid. The feet arched; aff
the nntec'es soft and dark in colour, a considerable quantity
of bloody serum on the bra's, the spinal marrow sod =em-
braces e mooed with it were very meet' congested. The
heart was healthy, soft, and extended, and all the blood ap-
peared to hare oozed out of i.. Th. re was sloe found a large
quantity of eery dark blood, nearly the colour of chocolate,
and in a field mete In the second eau he costumed
the body twelve hour, after (trete, and the muscles were
then perfectly flue d. There were symptoms of syphilitic

The lege and lower arms were somewhat rigid, the bron-
chial Inbva were full of frn.hy memo, the hoot wee per-
fectly flaccid and fall of blood on the right side. The vessels
of the scalp were much dilated, the trine veins were con-
gested. There was elw fluid on the membranes of the spinal
cord.

CSONIPTON.
TH2 WHIN O. THS ARCHBISHOP OP CANTIRBVIT.

Sir F. Kelly moved for • rule willies; 'pm the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury to show colas why the re urn which
be bad made to the peremptory mandamus issued from
this court, requ'ring him to proceed with tee trial of the
cue of the Queen (on the prosecution of the Rev.J.Diteher)
e. Archdeacm Denison, should cot be est aside, on the
ground of informality. The return stated that t►e
Archbishop had ironed • &Wien, lain Doctors'
Commons so the place where the Archdeacon
should appear to answer the charges against him. Doctors'
Commons was within the prettiness of Canterbury, but not
within the dirge*, of Canterbury, being eituared is the
diocese of London; and the question au, wh,ther, under
the 9A section of the Church D mipline Act, the arch-
bishop ought not to have sonstooted the party to
appear within the diocese in which he held preferment, vin.,
the diocese of Beth and Wells. It was thought that
the citation might be wrong in that par icolse, and it as
fund that the defendant might ,hereafter n ore fir a pro.
hibition, or to set aside the prottedinp, on the ground of
this ieformality. It as. highly desirable, there( re, to get
the (pinion of the court up in the matter, and it ass sug-
gested that this might be csaveniently done by movies; to
gnash the return on the ground that the summons ought
to have been within the diocese of Bath and Wells.
Bale that granted.
