NORWAY.

The closing of the Storthing of Norway has already
been announced. In a speech delivered on the oc-
casion, in the King's name, by the Minister of the
Interior, it was stated that the disturbances in Nor-
way had been caused by the communists, but that
they had been easily put down, and the hope was
expressed that they would not be renewed. Satis-
faction was also intimated at the voting of a bill
authorising the raising of a loan of about 9.000,000 fr.
for the execution of a railway from Christiana to the
lakes Merril and Miosen. An English company has
undertaken the works of the railway, the whole ex-
expense of which is estimated at 11,000,000 fr. The
government has made an arrangement by which it
will take half the shares without receiving any divi-
dend on them until b per cent. shall be secured to
tho shareholders.

GERMANY.

BERLIN, Om 27.

The Frankfort Diet, it is said, is lust now occu-
pied in fabricating a federal press law. The ill-effect
of their press laws of 1831, which in a very consi-
derable degree tended to bring. about the events of
1848, should teach them to desist from this kind of
legislation. But, indeed, how superfluous it is to
make laws at all when it is evident that the great
majority of the German
.potentates, with Prussia at
their head, are determined to rule without law.
Laws under these circumstances are only snares and
pitfalls for the disaffected. They are not intended to
be applied at all to the upholders of despotism. These
persons are as exempt from law as governments are
above it.
The Prensaisrhe Zeitling asserted a few days ago
that negociations were actively carrying on to bring
about the junction of Nlceilenburg, Bremen, and
Hamburg to the Zollverein. The Hamburg Ntorh-
richt gives a positive contradiction to this assertion
inasmuch as Hamburg is concerned in it.

There is rather less business doing in shares to-
day. Prices opened at a slight reduction, in sym-
pathy with the lower range of Consols, but a better
feeling is now apparent, and quotations may be con-
sidered as in nearly all cases identical with those
which ruled at the close of business yesterday, so
that the market is well sustained.

Preference and guaranteed shares show a falling
off in business, nor is it likely that operations will
be renewed on a very active scale till next dividend
period.
With the receipt of lower quotations from Paris,
all descriptions of French shares aro lower than
yesterday. A good deal of speculative attention is
still digested to this department.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

The principal conditions of the last arrangement
proposed to the German governments for the admi-
nistration of the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein,
by Denmark, the acceptation of which it was the
mission of M. von Dille, at present in Vienna, to
obtain, are as follows:
1. The re-establishment of the old provincial diets, at
well m Schleswig as in Holstein, is conceded by the Danish
government, but under the condition that it is not the last
existing diet that is to be summoned again ; that diet is to
be declared dissolved by royal decree, said s new election
for another taken, according to the election law of 1931,
with the exclusion of the voto possessed by the House of
Augustinburg. 2. That the Danish government regards
the Diet to be thus summoned as one ad interim only, and
called for the special purpose of framing an entirely new
law of election. 3 That the former connection between the
duchies for administrative and judicial purposes shall not be
again established, but that each ducliv shall have its own
administration and it. own supreme tribunal. 4. That on the
part of the Diet of the confederation, the resolution of the
17th of September, 1816, reserving to the Diet a competence
to maintain the right of the duchy of Holstein to a closer
connection with the duchy of Schleswig, shall be regarded
PA cancelled. After the abolition of the administrative and
judicial connection none of the former institutions common
to both of the duchies shall continue to east, except the
social nexus of the Rittersehaft.

and that the girl who had been supported by
her charity had been put forward by interested persons to '
make these charges against Mrs. Dawson. Mr. Palmer, the
solicitor to the accused, had pledged himself, and on that
assurance he (Mr. Ballantine) would pledge himself fully to
prove the whole of this statement.
Bir Peter Laurie inquired, as the prisoner's name was
Mrs. Damon, who was Mr. Dawson ? Was there any such
person ?
Mr. Ballantine—No ; she lived as the mistress of Lord
Portarlington, and took his family acme of Dawson.
Mr. Huddlestone—Then it is suggested that Lord Portar-
lington lived with both the mother and daughter.
Mr. Ballantine—Shocking as it may appear, he lived first
with Mrs. Dawson, and afterwards with her mother.
Mr. Huddlestone—l shall prove that Mrs. Dawson and
Mrs. Elam were of the same age.
Sir P. Laurie inquired if the present Lord Portarlington
knew of this extraordinary case. He hoped, as soon as he
did, out of regard to the memory of his uncle, he would
send some professional person to watch it on his account.
Mr. Ballantine said he only appeared for Mrs. Dawson,
and whatever annoyance it might cause to any family, he
should be obliged to go into the whole of the evidence, to
show that Mrs. Elam purchased this child, to palm it off on
Lord Portarlington, and never pretended it was Mr. Elam's
daughter.
Mr. Palmer (the solicitor) said he was sure Miss Elam
had no knowledge of this attempt to extort money, but was
only put forward by other parties whom he well knew.
The case was then remanded.

DOW-STREET.
John henry Taylor, junr., but 10 years of age, was
charged by his father, John Henry Taylor, sen., with a
series of robberies at home.
The father, a decent tradesman, carrying on business as
a gas-fitter in Drury-lane, and who seemed to feel very
accutely the painful position in which he stood as the prose-
cutor of his child, said that the boy associated with another
young thief named Goosey, who dodged about Newport-
market, and with him perpetrated a writs of thefts upon
witness, braakiug open his desk and stealing sundry cash.
The prisoner had undergone solitary imprisonment, having
only left prison on his last commitment in the past week,
but he appeared much more hardened than before, and
said that he wished is be in prison rather than stay at
home. The present charge was stealing an old twopenny
piece and a comb.
The prisoner, who did not appear in any way affected
at his exposure, said he wished to be sent out of the
country.
Mr. Jardine said he would send the culprit to prison, if
his father would agree to subsequently pay somethin3
weekly for his maintenance at the Philanthropic Institu-
tion, into which he would try and put him; and tke
father having agreed to do so, the prisoner was sent to the
house of Correction for 21 days.

ELLIOT V. DOD6.—TIII PLEA OF COTERTURE.
This was an action brought by a tradesman in Southwark
to recover a sum of money from the defendant, a female,
residing in the district, for goods supplied to her on her
own order.
The plaintiff proved the delivery of the goods, and stated
that when he demanded the money she refused to pay, tell-
ing him that she was a married woman, and he must look
to her husband for payment, and when he asked her where
be was to be found, she replied that he was gone to Gibral-
tar. However, when she contracted the debt she never
told him she was married, consequently he looked to her for
payment.
A solicitor, who attended for the defendant, put in a
plea of coverture, and contended that his Honour had no
jurisdiction in the ease, inasmuch as the defendant was a
married woman, and her husband was liable for any debts
she contracted during his absence. The claim was for ne-
cessaries, and could be recovered when her husband re-
turned from Gibraltar.
His Honour asked the plaintiff whether defendant told
him she was a married woman when she contracted the
debt.
He replied in the negative. He believed she was single,
or he would not have trusted her.
His Honour, alter consulting several cases from the supe-
rior courts, said that the defendant bad rendered herself
liable to the debt, although a married woman. She bad
said nothing about her husband until called upon to pay,
which looked very dishonest, and as plaintiff supplied her
on the Gall of being single, he must give judgment for him,
with eats.

ITALY.

TUSCANY.
Our correspondent, writing from Florence on the
9th October, states that the subject of the Grand
Duke's abdication was still occupying the public
mind, and develops the feeling of the various parties
with regard to it. An Austrian regency, with, per-
haps some Neapolitan admixture, would govern the
country during the heir's m.nority.. A military fes-
tival. for the purpose of fraternising the Austrian
and Tuscan officers, took plan on the ith inst. The
Austrian General, Ferrari, was to assume the su-
preme direction of the grand ducal army. The Mo-
nitore Toaranu, of the 6th, publishes the rail-
way convention with the Pope, by which Austria
effects her puvpose of stretching from the Adriatic to
the Mediterranean. The constitutionalists were
preparing to answer Guerrazzes calumnies. The
documents concerning Count Guicciardini's re-
ligious persecution had been secretly pub-
lished. The Queen Dowager of Piedmont was
about to return to Turin. The celebrated sculptor
Power (author of the " Greek Slave), was occupied
on an interesting allegorical statue of California.

FRANCE.

PARIS, wrnmesnse EVENING.
The Committee of Permanence held to-day an ex-
traordinary meeting, to deliberate upon the steps
proper to be taken in consequence of the dismissal of
the cabinet. The debate which ensued was marked
by an animation worthy of the famous sittings. of the
Name body. last year. M. Dufougerais, a legitimist, I
hear, particularly distinguished himself by the vie-
knee of his invectives against the policy of the Pro-
sident. Ile moved that the Assembly should be
convoked without delay. This motion was set
aside, and a resolution was adopted unanimously,
that the ministers should be examined in the endi-
aary muting of the committee to-morrow, with a
view to deciding, according to the explanations given,
whether there was any necessity fur anticipating the
period already fixed for the re-opening of the
Assembly. The committee then separated.
Eighteen members of the committee were present
at this sitting, which was presided over by General
Bedeau. General Changarnier did not speak. MM.
Dufougerais and Poujoulat alluded pointedly to the
duties imposed on the government by the disturbed
state of the central departments.
I mentioned to you yesterday a feature which de-
serves attention in the Council of St. Cloud, namely,
that the ministers offered modifications in the law of
Mar, which were rejected.
Concerning the future ministers there is no certain
news. lam told that M. Ilillault has declined to
for a cabinet. No proposals have been yet made to
either Lamartine or Girardin. The latter must be
considered in all cases as the instrument which has
contributed most potently to the change of policy
'suddenly announced by the President; and as hold-
ing as it were the key by which revision, if at all, is
to be opened.
At the last moment I am unable to give you any
more distinct account of the probable composition of
1 the cabinet. It is said that General Magnan was
offered the ministry of war, but preferred to remain
at his present poet. Ilautpool had been sent for to
St. (loud. Schramm, Regnard de St. Jean d*Angely,
and St. Arnaud, arc all talked of as likely to suc-
ceed to the Ministry of War. A ministry of transi-
tion is also mentioned, in which some of .the present
ministers—as. Fould, ltouher, and Magne—would
retain their places. Hansemann, the prefect of the
Yonne, is mentioned as probable successor to Cartier.
The names of Abbatueci, Value, Persigny, Dariste,
Fortoul, and Admiral Ckille, are mentioned in re-
ference to the composition of a fresh cabinet. The
reported conference of MoIC and Thiers yesterday is
unfounded. Mole came to Paris to-day to know the
1 result of the sitting of the Committee of Perma-
nence, and then returned to Champlatreux.
The fluctuations at the Bourse were more sensible
than yesterday. The Fives closed at 90.10, a fall of

JLkNOVEIt.

The two ChambeisiniittUoTi; have lately adopted
organic laws regulating the cur,stitution, and the
future attributions of the provincial councils of the
kingdom. Amongst the changes which they have
made, they have deprived the possetssom of hofs of
all their feudal privileges, such as exemption front
taxation, military service, and other things, and
the right to exercise justice. The noblesse have
organized themselves into an opposition against
any attempt to put these new laws in vigour;
and a meeting of the equestrian order, as it is called,
has been held in Celle, at v.hieh resolutions were
passed to the effect that the enactments of the
chambers should not be recognised us valid, and
every means should be token to prevent its introduc-
tion into Hanover. A deputation hearing these reso-
lutions has had an audience of the King, and
another deputation is to go to Frankfort to petition
the Diet when it meets. The middle class, how-
ever, are fully alive to the encroaching character
of the noblesse, and meetings hale also taken place
where most energetic resolutions have been passed
in favour of the Cluunbirs and the present ministry,
whose existence is threatened by the movement.

MONEY MARKET.

THIS DAY.

TiN 0 O'CLOCK.
The English stock market has been very firm to-day,
and prices have ruled at an advance of k per cent.
since yesterday. Attention having of late been nria
directed to the partial drain of the stock of bullion
in the Bank of England, the large increase which, in
accordance with our anticipations, appears in last
night's return, is received with corresponding satis-
faction. The speedy turn of the tide, however, has
been consistently predicted by us, notwith-
standing the vague assertions of an adverse
balance of trade, and consequent prolongation
of the drain, which have been perseveringly
indulged in in some quarters. We have furtke
alluded to the upward movement of the exchanges,
which are now rising, both here and in most of exchanges,
European markets.
Consols have been steady all day at 97Z to 98 for
money, being a rise of , as compared with yester-
day's closing price. For the 10th June they have
touched 984, but are now a shade weaker at 98. Nono
of the home stocks have been more than slightly dealt
in, except the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.,in which
rather more than an average number of transactions
has occurred. The official statement reports business
as follows:—Three per Cent. Consols, 98, 974 ; ditto
for account, 984. Three per Cent. Reduced, 'J7:I

India Bonds, under 1,000/., 48s. prem.
Business in the foreign stock market is quite
nominal, scarcely half a dozen bargains having be ...1
concluded throughout tbe day. Mexican Bonds ate
rather steadier, and Spanish Actives are firm, whilst
other descriptions present no change. The transactions
are restricted to the following, s ii.:—Buenos Ayes

LAND CLAUSES CONSOLIDATION ACT IN
London, England, 1851-05-31

TORCINO DEPARTMENT.

Ttverttc:s.—Luck carefully to the fruiting plants to see
that they arc not overburdened with suckers, and let them
have an occasional watering with liquid manure, to assist
the swelling of the fruit. If the plants which are just on
the point of showing are in pots it will he no advantage to
shift them immediately into larger ones ; to top dress them
with some rich turfy loam, or to turn them out entirely into
the soil, which is by far l':c most preferable method.
Whore the pot system is pursued many of the plants, eve-
chilly of the young stock, will require re-potting ; and at
this time they should receive a large shift, as their most
active growing season is now approaching. After potting, a
closer and moister atmosphere must be kept up fora f•sv
days, till they begin to rout into the new soil. Nu plant
stands in greater need of shading during bright sunshine
than the pine-apple ; but as it is not only unnecessary, but
injurious in dull weather, the canvas should he no adjusted,
by means of rollers, that it tau be applied or removed at
pleasure. VINEIttE4.—If the fruit is all gathered in the
curliest house, the vines should again be treated with a
moderately warm atmosphere and syringed daily, to destmy
insect*, and to keep the foliage in a healthy state as long as
111.19,04 C. In order that du: n 1144 may have every means of
recruiting their energies for next season, let them have oc-
casional wateriugs of liquid manure of moderate strength.

WE reprint, in another column, a notable letter
from the steward of Earl FITZHARDINGE to his ,
te-
nants, which has got into print, and affords a strik-
ing illustration of the anomalous character of the
relations existing between English landowners and
their tenants, and of the present state of opinion of
those important classes. The letter is a circular ad-
dressed to each tenant individually, and informs him
that a sum named will be returned to him out of the
half-year's rent due on the 6th of April. This is in
terms applicable to the current half-year's rent only;
and from the explanation of the abatement given we
scarcely understand whether the rent is to be per-
manently reduced, or whether the sum now thrown
back is to be deemed a temporary deduction to
meet a present depression. steward says :
" This is considered by the practical men
whom his lordship has consulted to be a fair and
reasonable abatement from the landlord towards
meeting the difficulties arising from the present de_
pressed state of agriculture. It is undoubtedly fair
and right that the landlord should be called upon to
contribute his share towards meeting the present de-
pression; he has now done so and lam authorised
to state that should prices fall lower, future abate-
ments will from time to time be made, to equalise
the rents on this estate, and for the future relief of
all such as may hereafter be able to prove that they
have reasonable grounds for complaint."
The abatement in each case seems, therefore, to
have been made upon the advice of practical men
with reference to the special circumstances of each
farm; and as a subsequent passage in the letter, by !
inference, at all events, attributes the depression to
free trade, we apprehend that the reduction of rent
is to be a permanent one. So far the principle on
which it is made is just. The landlord conceives
that his tenants have taken their farms upon
the assumption that they could obtain certain
prices for their produce, and that from a gene-
ral cause beyond their own control prices have
fallen, and therefore he considers the case
of each tenant, and makes such an abatement of rent
as he is advised is fair and reasonable. All, how-
ever, is done of the mere motion of the landlord.
There is not a trace of the existence of a contract
between landlord and tenant. Whether the abate-
ment made is or is not " fair and reasonable,"
whether the advice on which, and the data frotn
