NOVA SCOTIA.

The journals of this province are chiefly filled with
diecussions on matters of local improvement—a good
sign of the condition of the population.

NEW BRUNSWICK.

A report had been prevalent in St. Joht'o, aMr
days previous to the 20th ult.. that an immediate
dissolution of the assembly wu to take place. The
government Gazette, however, continued silent ea
the subject.
NEWFOUNDLAND.

Our dates from this colony are to the 18th alt. The
Cus.onse establishment has been remodelled, and the
former collector succeeded by the Hon. Mr. Kest,
Speak. rof t'.e Assembly. The former official arrived
here in the Osprey. Before leaving, a public dinner
was given him, at which 24 gentlemen attended. The
various branches of industry are receiving a mom
than ordinary sure of attention from the press of the
colony. It is intended to begin weaviog domestio
cloth similar to our homespun, and steps are about
being taken by the governcr to procure from this
province a requisite number of teachers of the
art, u well as a supply of wool to com-
mence operations. The increased value of the
agricultural products of the island is spies of
68 a gratifying reminiscence. The fishermen from
the Labrador coast had generally returned, with foss
somewhat less than those of last year. A very lugs
number of Spanish vessels (about 60) have loaded at
Newfoundland this season. Disturbances in the
streets at night have been of frequent recurrence at
St. John's, and a night police is abaut to be organised.
R. 'igloos services had been held in the Wesley's
chapels, in gratitude for preservation from choler.

The journals are devoid of interest. They are taken
up with discussions on the merits of the speech with
which the Governor had closed the session of the
legislature. The revenue of Bermuda is said to
amount, in round numbers, to 10,000 dollars.

lected that at the last inquiry before the coroner, the jury
could not agree to a verdict, and the court was adjourned to
the 28th of this month, in order that all the evidences which
could bear upon the ease might be produced before the jury
on that day. Since the adjournment, Mary Cortleld, the
fellow servant of the prisoner, Catherine Newton, bee made
a statement to the magistrates of the borough, which If tree,
fully eatables the guilt of the prisoner. —Mary Cortield says
that on the night in question oho left the deceased with her
daughter in the kitchen; and that shortly after she went up
stairs she heard deceased cry out "Oh, don't!" She fre-
quently heard the prb7ner say she would kill her mother.
On one occasion she found the prisoner kneeling on het
mother's chest, and pressieg a hadkerchief Into her
mouth. The witness went oa to say that the pri-
soner one* told her that her mother was keeping ner out
of her property, and if she did not soon die she would kill her.
as she had lived quite long enough. I have been sent by the
prisoner to the doctor's for poison, but I did not know for
what purpose. I fetched a quantity of oil on the day the
deceased came to the house by the prisoner's direction ; the
oil was afterwards found to have been poured on the clothes
el the deceased. Oa the same city I saw a quantity of drip-
ping in a basin, in the cupboard, and on the fullowinet morn-
ing, when the deceased was found burned, I noticed that the
dripping had been taken out of the basin, and I have no doubt
it had been need for the same purpose as the oil. As soon as
I discovered the are I ran down stairs. I mimed the de-
ceased, and went to look fur her. I found her lying In the
yard, and I ran back and said, " Oh, dear, yonder she is;
she's dead." The primmer, at that time, was sitting upon
the sofa in ha night gown, but she did not take the slightest
I natio*. I saw a pillow and some sheets in the yard, which
were in the r seat when I went to bed. The bottle which
had contained the oil I fetched I found on the fireplace the
next morning ; the sofa was covered with marks of oil.

LONDON, TUESDAY, FEB. 13.
WE know who are her Majesty's minister., bet
it is really difficult to tell who are her Majesty's Or
position. And yet it is of the utmost importance to
know, were it but for the necessity of fairly nominat-
ing committees. It has always been considered jai
to place by the side of a preponderating majority d
ministerialists at least a respectable minority of Ir
'Won members, in order that great questions and Is'
tenets, which parliament hands over to the consider-
tion of its committees, may not be barked.
Now we ask, is it fair to consider for this puiP
the followers of Sir ROBERT Per, or the followers??
Mr. DISRAELI, as forming an opposition to ail*
ministers on great popular questions, such, for
example, as the great one of the plod
day, the retrenchment of military experldr?
Is it not evident to every one that these three are?d•
cratio parties are all in the same boat, all equally v'
tended in the maintenance of expenditure, .a 1
keeping np of army and navy, and all the midi
which they contrive to absorb P Is it not, iadwi,
evident, that the immerse and anaccountahle lugs*
Cation of ten millions in as many years—year* 041
profound peace—can only be attributed to the fad
the benches of opposition being occupied by men 1111. d
parties as interested as ministers themselves in this
re and solemnsystem of annual squandering? Viliar w, how is it to be hoped that the great wort a,
inquiry and retrenchment, rendered imperative, al
be carried on by these same parties, or by their did-
gates in committee P We have heard ofsetting a thart°

succeeding where one thief *se allowed to prat by
not catching, but by protecting his brother. A wbi

MONEY MARKET.

MONDAY MYNNENO.
The !bads opened rather weak this morning, and
Comas in the middle of the day were done as low as
92j. This rather remarkable descent may be =-
counted foe sufficiently by the Income of the liquids"
tion now in and which, as on other occasions
of cdiflerences in the worse of an account,
has led to extraordinary fluctustiona on the making
up of books. So soon, however, as the making up of
bookie, the calling over accounts, and the option =ei-
nem had been gone through. the market presented
quite a some of excitement. From 921 Coosolerapidly
reached 921 to f. at which they left off at the regular
how. Bat business was continued actively after
wards, and within one hour of the official time, Con-
sob were buyers at 94 for the next account, with
scarcely any sellers at 94. Thus there hes been
the very remarkable rise of more than 1 pee cent.
upon the lowest quotations of the day. Reduced
Threes left of, at the official hour, 931 to 1, and, u not
being a speculative stook, were not dealt in beyond
that hour. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, at the
same hour, 941 to 1. March Fauinequer Bills, 445.
to 48e. prem.; the June bills 60e. to 635. prem. India
Bonds, 495. to 62a. prem.
Foreign securities were well supported, generally,
with an improvement in some cues, but ;peculation
most active-in :inish. The Fives left off at 1-71 to 181;
the Threes at to 301 Famine, 4to 1. Portuguese,
8. 26 to Dutch -Half per Cents. were 60 to

It may appear mbsordinary, yet there is no reason
for question on the feet, that the gold disoovecies of

—TILE HOUNSLOW FLOGGING CASE.
The Attorney-General, Mr. B. Imam, and Mr. Bramwell
were esenesi for the plaintiff, who was seated at the bar with
them ; Mr. Bel. Wilkins, Mr. T. Jones, and Mr. Damen
for the defendant&
. . _

This was an action to !mover °Dispensation for certain alleged
libellous publications in the Medical Timis, of which the
defendants were the registered proprietors. The libels com-
plained of Were published in August, 1846, and had reference
to the inquest held at Hounslow on the body of John F.
White, a soldier in the 7th Hussars, whom death wee sup-
posed to have been caused or greatly accelerated by a severe
military logging to which he had been subjected pursuant
to the sentence of • conet-mardal. The matter created
mesh &amnion at the time, and no slight indignation at
the creel punishment inflicted upon the soldiery. After a
long investigation, and several adjournments, the jury re-
turned a verdict that White's death had been caused by his
bavinig been subjected to 160 lashes on the back and shoul-
ders, In obedience to the sentence pared upon him by the
court-martial, end they appenued to their verdict a strong
expression of their horror and condemnation of the system
of loggia, in the army. The libels accused the plaintiff, is
coroner for Middlesex, with having used improper means,
and tampered with witnesses, with a view to procure a ver-
dict of manslaughter or murder against some of the parties
connected with the laliction of the punishment : and that

FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY, 5 30 P.M.
Whilst Oulinot is carrying on the inglorious siege
of Rome, and prolonging the operations before its
walls, it must be borne in mind that the funds voted
for the sustenance of the French army have already
been spent. We shall see what will be said of this
expedition when the French are called on to
ply for it. Already 1,200,000 francs are spent,
and government, it is said, is about to apply for 20 or
25 millions more, to defray expencee. The state of
affairs is said to be this :—lt appears that the money
voted has been spent now so long, that the greatest
difficulty exists in obtaining provisions. The commis-
sariat cannot get their drafts on tae French trea-
sury taken in exchange for victuals, inasmuch
as the Asembly has voted no new credits for
the expedition. The embarrassments are ren-
dtred still greater from the fact that, as
government has been forced to tranship quantities of
war material, the vessels have been entirely taken up,
and no provisions have been sent, so that the French
commissalat must get provisions on the spot. Such
is the state of money matters as regards the expedi-
tion. This it is that causes the fall at the Bourse
noticeable for a few days past. Tue fall of Rome, so
often announced and contradicted, has been dis-
counted beforehand. Tue Bank is even said to
have been affected by this state of affairs, inasmuch
u it must get on credit the 23 millions necusary for
the expedition. We cannot fail of bearing govern-
ment shortly asking the Assembly for more money.
Here would have been a chance for the minority, had
they not thrown it away in insensate attempts at
rebellion.
A protest against the state of siege of Paris has
been read in the council of state, and laid upon the
table of the Assembly. The prolongation of this
coercive measure, against which Odillon Barret
used all his eloquence in 1832, is causing annojanoe
in many quarters.

question was, whither credit had been given to
Podgen or to the present defendant, and the latter
was called ea a witness, and he swore that he made
an arrangement with a person named Bone, who was a com-
mission agent foe the company, that forty tons of coals should
be supplied to Padget.' upon his responsibility, and that he
alone was to be answerable for the pigment. It appeared
that the jury upon the trial did net give any effect to this
evidence, and found a verdict for the pla`ntifi tor the amount
that was claimed; and the present indictment was then
preferred against the defendant for the false evidence
which be was alleged to have given upon that occasion.
The main evidence in support of the charge of perjury
consisted of the testimony of Bone, the person who acted
es the agent in the transaction, and he iodated posi-
tively that the statement made by the defendant with
regard to the nature of the transaction was not correct, and
tkat the understanding was that the credit was given to
Podgen only. It appeared, however, on croes•e:amination,
that Bone had known the defendant for tin c r twelve years,
and that Podgen was an entire stranger to It tn, and it was
admitted that upon one occasion something was said about
looking to the defendant for the money.
The Recorder, at the close of the cue for the prostcution,
ft:pressed his opinion that the evidence would not support
the charge of perjury. There might be some ground for
supposing that there was an intention to defeat tr • action,
hut in a charge of perjury the evidence ought to be clear and
conclusive ; and it appeared to itim that under all the cir-
cumstances of this case it was not sulßeent to justify a
conviction.
The jury accordingly under his lordship's direction re-
turned a verdict of Not Guilty.

SARDINIA.—The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa,
of the 3rd itatant, contains the capitulation in virtue
of which General de starts left the town. The fol-
lowing are the principal conditiont:—" The Pied-
meatus troop. shall h aye the town and retire by
Savona and Alssundria. No piece of artillery shall
leave Genoa. Genoa will ever remain united wish
Piedmont. The families of General de Asarta and
Ferretti will be given op u soon as the troops shall
have crossed the Appeninee." The other conditions
merely relate to details respecting the execution
of the preceding ones. Several decrees were pub-
lished in the course of the day (3rd), one for the pro-
tection of the foreign consuls; another announcing
that the committee of public safety (composed of
General Aveztana, Reta, and Morcido) constituted
itself as a provisional government of Liguria; a third,
calling upon the citizens to repair to the barricades ;
a fourth, proroguing for five days the date of bills
falling due on tt e 2nl inst. and days following; a
fifth, prohibiting the firing of muskets in the streets ;
a sixth. threatening severe punishment for all acts
against property or public order; and a seventh,
naming Captain Campanella chief of the staff of the
national guards, and Chinn Cambia.° a major to the
said staff.

The Opinione of Turin, of the 6th inst., says that
the Austrians have taken thirty of the most distin-
guished inhabitants of Brescia u hosiers. Camozz;,
chief of the insurrection, has retired into the moun-
tains, with a few of his fellow-citizens, carrying with
him the Austrian commandant of the fort as a
prisoner.

VENlCE.—Letters from Venice state that a skir-
mish took place on the 26th ult. between a party. of
Austrians' who had occupied the Cavazucchenna,
where they wanted to impose a contribution of 6,000
litres, and a party of Venetian troops, who came up
at in time to stop their Fomdings. The Austrians
had several men wounded, and were forced to retreat.

having been effected, and since that period a still greater
amount of maws had attended their operations during
the months of November, December, and January. When
the previous meeting took place. the " reserve " of
tin and copper ores amounted to 00,0001. Since that period
large additions had been made to that sum, and the mines
were now brought into a pwition which afferied full secu-
rity to the proprietors that their shares would constitude a
permanently profitable investment. The accounts were made
up to the end of January, and showed a considerable
balance in favour of the shareholders, although there
had been an ezpenditure of ?,2001. since their last meet-

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

The Morning Chronicle, in a late edition, publishes
the following intelligence, for which we leave it re-
sponsible.
" We have received the following information :
It is understood that the Emperor of Russia,
having ascertained that the military prepara-
tions going forward in the Turkish empire were
undertaken at the instigation of Sir Stratford
Canning, acting under radars from London,
deepatched as the 28th March his aide-de-camp,
General Orabbe, to Coastanlinople, with an ultima-
tum wbiela requires the Immediate cessation of war-
like preparatioes in Turkey, as well as the recall of
the Ottoman troops assembled on the Danube. It
further requires the Porte's acquiescence in the occu-
pation of the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia
by Russia during her good pleasure.
" Failing the acceptsnoe of these terms by the
Divan, the Russian Minister is to quit Constantinople,
and the Autcorat's troops, which are already in
Transylvania, are to advance on Constantinople,
turning (not crossing) the Balkans. The Russian
fleet from Sevastopol is to lend its co-operation. Such
is the climax of Lord Palmerston's mock mediation
and pacific policy!
"We are assured that Baron Bronow has been in-
structed to communic►te the contents of the ultimatum
to our Foreign-office."

chas moon.
lturcaseraa, Aran. 14.—The state of the market is
mush as statedon Thursday, the priers of cloth remaining rather Arm,
but yarns suited to the North of Germany being rather depressed in
consumes*, of the war risks to be encountered in placing them.
Yarns suited to the India market are better supported. In cloths for
the India markets, including 40inch ,hirtings, the lighter descriptions
of printing clothe, madapollans, and Jo:mewls, there is alto con-
siderable activity.

Whatever may bethought of the jurors, the conduct
of the judges threughent this case at its several trials,
has been seek sate raise the &greeter of the bench.
Oa the lest trial the charge of Mr. Justice Ball was
universally admired as a mut/apiece of judicial
ability, and yesterday, Mr. Justice Jackson delivered
• very cabs and digoilled charge, carefully indicating
to the jury the leading features of the ewe at both
sides.
One of the persons (Mr. Kelly) who stated that the
jury were equal divided, was a prominent member
of the Repeal iatios, and used to be in the
chair.
It is right to remark that general surprise has been
felt at the weakness of the proofs of Mr. Duffy's
handwriting. One of the witnesses, Lowe, wen de-
clared unworthy of credit open his oath; another, Mr.
Butler, had not seen Mr. Duffy writs for several
years ; and a third witness admitted that on former
cc:miens he had been mistaken as to Mr. Duffy's
handwriting. In fact the strongest proof against the
prisoner (if such language can be used) war, as the
SoliCtor-Gneral said, his abstaining from calling
friends to prove that it was not his handwriting !
As the case wee put yesterday to the jury,the author-
ship of two of the strongest articles imputed to Mr.
Duffy was placed upon another person—the young
lady so often alluded to.

LORD CLARENDON —ADXOIIIB.—A rumour is again
abroad (says the Evening Mail) that Lord Clarendon con-
templates ea immediate retirement from the administration
of
Irish affairs. We have not been able to trace it to an
antiwar bat a law thing than hie If tusellesery's
to se May as 25 of h b honourable Maids
at we is Monk to set idle people talking It Is
etelt ha never would have snubbed
them that tenth manner had he not spade previous
arrangements to cat their society altogether without delay.
We attach no credit to the report, red there is reason to sup-
pose that the private esaetar7 %Wetly disbelieves
London correspondent of the Freeman's Journal, communi-
cates a formidable rumour, no len than that Lord Clarendon
is to be impeached. It has bean stymied (be says), at the
suggestion of one of the Irish liberal members, and with the
concurrence of several of the English and Irish representa-
tives, that Lord Clareaden's conduct at the Irish-ofßoe, is re-
ference to Mr. Duffy's ease, when the deputation waited on
Isis a few days mince shall be brought before parliament
and made the subject matter of investigation immediately
after the Easter reser. His excellency was apprised imme-
diately after this determination on Wednesday afternoon.

ITALY.

TUSCANY.—The Petrie says: "One last amounts
from Florence give us the certainty that at the mo-
moot we are writing tl•ese lines the grand duke of
Tuscany is returned to his capital."
"It was reported to-day (says the Petrie of I.st
evening), that the revolutionary government at Leg-
born has been overthrown by the peop!o themselves,
as that of Florence had been before it.
We have letters from oar own correspondent from
Turin of the 15th inst., in which he says letters from
Florence have just Sr/lived at the ministry, announcing
that the result of a colliaon between the Leghorn
'shatters and the populace, in which the latter pre-
vailed,was the estabdshment of a municipal council,
composed of persons devoted to the grand duke, at
the head of whom are Btttino, Riegel'', and Dappled,
who had seam d the government in the name of the
grand duke, and that a deputation was on the point
of setting out to bring him back to Tuscany.
This intelligence is further c infirmed by the Now-
vediste of Marseilles, of the lith inst., jut come to
hand, and is a complete confirmation or the news I
seat you a day or two since by electric telegraph.
NAPLES AND SlClLY.—lntelligence has reached

on Saturdey evening the city was in flames In three
places; the moat beautiful edifices were a heap of
ruins, and the renowned library and most ram of na-
Loral history entirely destroyed.

TURKEY.

We coped front the Morning Chronicle a reatemtn•
relative to the Dat.ubian proviaces and their con-
e. xiors with ltuesie and 'Eckel, leaving to that
jou•nd the remensitili'y a its statement. The
statement would gamma a 'elution cf the question
which must be considered at halt as premature.
According to it, the Ewen)? of Russia bad seat to
Coscantnople an aide-d -e .mp, General Grupe,
bearer of an ultimatum requiring the Perm to e. ase
Cl her pre, artificers of war, to withdraw the Turkish
troops pieced on Its Danube, and to evacuate the
chian Trovi. c. 8, which would thus be
left at the num of the Czar. Failing in Vtese cm-
ditiotm, the result would be the departure of the
Maiden ambassador, end the immediate advarce of a
ltureisn army an Constantinopl-, whilst the Russian
fleet would support the movement.
S r n.uch ernive me nee has tern published
of late upon this quesioe, that the greatest dub'
must net upon toia bt itement. Such is not the usu +I
method of proceeding of Ruch in h mitten'. It
would be no easy mattsr to march up ,n Coettsroi-
; and Russia were her intenti..ns hos'ile, would,
by protis cions cf friendship and disinterestedness,
cover hers crtt hostility. Tne conduct attnbut dto
it is not only contrary to ell prec. dent, bat opposed to
the welt-known habits of the Emperors of Russia.
Little credit can therefore b 3 attached to the state-
tn, nt put firth in our columrs.
