MODEL LODOINO-HOUSES.

TO TUT IDTTOI OP TIM moans.
SlR,—May 1 request you to insert the following
communication in your paper.
I receive constantly anonymous letters, to which, there-
fore, I can send no reply, with suggestions such as this en-
tract will exemplify :
" We beg you will endeavour to bring forward in your
place in parliament, a bill to make it necessary for every
town or borough that has a population of tea thousand to
have a model lodging house, to accommodate not less than
40 or 50 men." Then follow many remarks as to the vari-
ous arrangements and the cost per week to each lodger.
I avail myself of this op unity to state that an en-
abling act of this kind already exisu, 14th and 15th of the
Queen, chapter 34, introduced by myself into the House of
Commons in May, 1851.
The general adoptioa of it would, I believe, produce
very great benefits —I am, air, your very obedient servant,

NAVIGATION OT THE LOWER DANUBE.—It may
be of interest to travellers intending to visit the east to
learn that a fast steamer will leave Vienna every Friday
morning at nine, and reach Galati (about 1,100 English
miles) on the following Tuesday at mid-day. At Galata
the passeagen and goods will be immediately transferred
to another steamer, which is to reach Constantinople on
Thursday at noon. The first voyage will take place on the
29th of this month. The new boats are clipper-built ; the
engines by Rennie and Co.

GERMANY.

The treaties which re-constitute the Zollvereie
with the Steurverein have been signed by all the
plenipotentiaries, who have also given their gamin
to the treaty of commerce concluded Weems Prme-
sia and Austria.
Letters from Berlin of the 4th state arrests and
Ibouse-searchings were continued by the police. The
government preserves the greatest mossy on the
wabject, permitting its journal to state bat the scan-
tiest details. The unions dissolved by the police
were the benefit sick clubs of the working classes,
which it is now declared were merely vehicles of
democratic sympathies.
Eight persons were shot at Csongrad, in Hungary,
on the 19th, for drinking with three robbers, instead
of informing against them. A ninth person was shot
at the same place for giving a false name to a robber
who was in danger of being captured by tbe gen-
darmerie. It may be needful to add that the
" robbers" for which such unaccountable sympathy
is manifested in Hungary are the guerillas, who con-
tinue, in their own way, and in hope of better times,
the battle against Austria which was lost at Villagos.
The Cologne Gaulle, under date of Berlin 2nd,
says—
The Minister of the Interior has addressed to the superior
presidents of provinces a circular relative to passports. It
is stated therein that the ctovertiment has been informed
that at Lontion certain penov.s had received forged pass-
ports. This report is not calif...nand , but it is certain that
some persons have made use of passports delivered to othen.
These passports are delivered by the consuls of France sad
Belgium, and cannot l* admitted in the Prussian states.

AUSTRIAN ITALY.

myst—oLetters from Vienna

have brought to Milan intelligence which has pro-
duced the greatest sensation. They affirm as positive,
that after a deliberation of the whole imperial family,
the
.young Emperor of Austria has adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions, relative to the Lombardo-Venetian
kingdom—let., the substitution of the civil authority
for the military power; 2nd, a full amnesty to the
refugees, on condition of their immediately returning
home; and 3rdly, the replacement of Marshal Ra-
detsky, who is to be placed on the retired list, with
the title of Prince of the Blood, in recompense for his
long and loyal services."
The Cbrrespondanee Particulieee of Turin, without
affirming the accuracy of these details, gives it as
certain that the cabinet of Vienna has decided to
show clemency in Lombardy, and adds that some
people feel happy in attributing this happy change
to the advice of France.
The Maw; Gazette of the 31st ult. publishes a no-
tification announcing that from that day the bastions
round the city, which had been closed to publics cir-
eulation since the events of February, shall be again
aseeesible from five is the morning to eight in the

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 31st ult. state that in
the sitting of the pevious day the senate was en-
gaged in discussing the vote of the minority of the
committee on the representation of Names. An
amendment to the ee that " the senate decides
that there are no grounds for deliberating on the
representation of the Duke of Valeutia, because so
long as there are no direct proceedings instituted
against him, nor any sentence which indicts civil in-
capacity on him, he ham a right to come and take
part in the business of the senate," was pre-
sented by Joaquin Maria Lopez, and opposed by
Generals Sans and Peewit'. It was ultimately
rejected by a piejoeity of 93 to 69. After some
farther discussion on the question itself, it was
again adjourned, In the Chamber of Deputies, the
demand of the government for authorisation to col-
lect the taxes was met by three amendments from
the o 'lion, but they appeared to have been pro-
solely to give an opportunity for criticising the
acts of the government. No vote on the government
demand took place. Accounts from Cuba to the let
ult. state that the island was lying the most per-
fect tranquillity. An account w yang
has reached us
by express, dated the let inst., states that the
Chamber of Deputies had assembled in its bureaux,
and elected a committee of seven members to make a
report on the bill relative to the loan. Three of the
number chosen belong to the opposition. The public
funds had undergone a rather considerable decline,
particularly the coupons.

HOLLAND.
RESTORATION OF ROMAN CATHOLIC
BISHOPRICS IN HOLLAND.

The recent allocation of the Pope announced the
fact that, with the consent of the Dutch government,
the hierarchy of the Roman catholic church had
been re-established in Holland. The prospect before
them has aroused the fears of the protestant public
in the Netherlands, and meetings are holding to
give expression to the general opinion. At Utrecht,
I on the 3rd, an address to the throne was adopted.
Others are in the way of subscription at Amster-
dam, the Hague, Rotterdam, and other principal
towns of Holland.

FAST CIIILDREN.—In an order lately issued by a
Norman l'refect, to ease a low café, the following reason
for doing so is assigned:—" Coi.sidering that, amongst
other facts which have been clearly shown to us. three
children, egad seven, eight, and eleven years, were served
with coffee sod spirituous liquors for the sum of If. arsc.,
and that the woman who keeps the cafe herself gave them
• match to light their pipes ; that, furthermore, they were
all drunk when they left the premises, the eldest having
become so ill as to cause Vic greatest anxiety to his
parents, rte."

THE POLICE COURTS.

BOW-STREET.

George Fors: whcToriginallii;vethe name of Edward
Langley, was brought before Mr. Henry for re-examina-
tion on the charge of stealing two newspapers from the
Commercial Coffee-house, Chandoe-street.
Henry Wheeler, the prosecutor, stated that he did not
wish to proceed with the charge. having learnt that the pri-
soner bore an excellent character. He had been known
'in Camden-town for 15 years past as a most respectable
man.

Mr. Robinson, one of the clerical secretaries of the City
Mission (who was accompanied by several other gentlemen,
apparently interested in the same institution), also gave
the prisoner an irreproachable character, and stated that
his wife and daughters were highly respectable—one of the
latter being • pupil of his (witness's) own daughters. Mr.
Fores was made secretary sad treasurer to an auxiliary so-
ciety. and his accounts were strictly correct. He had paid
in 111. 16s. He was not connected with the Central Mission,
but it was feared by the committee that the report of the
case id the newspapers might tend to injure the parent so-
ciety.
Mr. Henry, after stating that he did not think the report
would have any such effect, said, the gold character which
the prisoner had previously borne, and the fact that the
subscriptions received by him had been duly accounted for,
were no doubt important circumstances in his favour. It
was possible that he had taken away the papers in some
thoughtless or unaccountably mood ; at any. rate, a jury
would not be likely to convict him, after hearing the testi-
mony which had been given with respect to his character,
and 'therefore he concurred with the prosecutor in thinking
that the case should be withdrawn.
The prisoner was accordingly discharged.

DENMARK.

REJECTION OF THE ROYAL MESSAGE.
COPENHAGEN, TUESDAY, APRIL 19.

The Chambers are dissol;cd. New elections are
appointed—those for the Volksthing (Lower House)
on the 27th of May, and those for the Landsthing
(Upper House) on the 3rd of June neat. It is stated
that the ministers Bang and Simon have resigned.

It is not difficult to supply the link between this
despatch and our latest advicee by the ordinary
channel. Letters from Copenhagen of the 15th in-
form us that on that day the United Chamber
entered upon the third discussion of the royal
message respecting the succession to the throne.
The Diet unanimously adopted an amendment signi-
fying, contrary to the principle of the government,
that it assumed to legislate for Denmark Proper and
not for the entire monarchy. A second amendment
for limiting the approval of the Diet to the treaty of
London, instead of extending it to the royal message,
was rejected by 91 against 34 votes. The modified
proposition of Oersted was to be discussed on the
following day, but the government journals confessed
that there was little prospect that the cabinet would
obtain the suffrages of three-fourths of the members,
the proportion required by the constitution. This
presentiment has been justified. The Danish Diet,
following the example of irs predecessor, has refused
to acquiesce in the royal message, to acknowledge
Lord Malmesbury's treaty, to set aside the legal
succession of the realm, and to constitute Russia heir-
general of the monarchy.

rand° has suspended its publication.

HOLL IND,

The Stoats Courant of the 20th announces that it
has pleased the king to grant, by royal decree, per-
mission to MM. J. K. Thorbecke, Minister of the In-
terior; P. P. Van Reese, Minister of Finance; F. P.
It. &rens, Minister ot Justice; and J. P. P. Baron
cart Zuylen Van Nyeveldt, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, to withdraw honourably from their posts
with the thanks of their sovereign. Ills Majesty
has not been pleased to accept the resignations ten-
dered by MM. Pahud, Enshe, and Forstner, Minis-
ters of the Colonies, Marine, and War.
By another decree of the same date his Majesty
appoints the Minister of State, M. F. A. van Hall,
his Minister of Foreign Affairs; M. Donker Curtius,
Minister of Justice ; M. G. C. J. van Reenen, Burgo-
master of Amsterdam, Minister of the Interior; and
M. E. C.U.van I)oorn, Minister of Finance. The same
decree also appoints M. Lightenvelt to be Minister
of Worship for the affairs of the catholic community,
in the room of NI. van Sousbeck.

The character of the new ministry is sufficiently
indicated by the nomination of M. can Doorn, who
led the ultra protestant party in the debate of the
18th, which immediately caused the fall of the late
cabinet.

HUDDERSFIELD ELECTION.

TIIIIIIADAT.
During last night scouts belonging to the rival
candidates paraded the streets, in order to prevent voters
being " battled." The (image lintel, the head quarters
of Mr. Starkey's committee, was closely watched by a party
of men, who about midnight saw one of Goderieh's voters
brought to the hotel, who, on seeing his friends, said he
bad been brought there under false pretences; he was im-
mediately releaaed by the watchers, ;and taken away in
triumph. One or two other cases of the same kind oc-
curred during the night, but with these exceptions, all re-
mained quiet.
Early this morning parties were on the move, marshalling
their forces fur the battle, which curameneed at eight o'cluck,
when the poll was opened in St. George's-square. During
the day bands of music paraded the streets, and ht.

The total number of electors on the register is 1,413, but
deaths, removals, and, duplicates reduce the number of
efficient voters to about 1,350. In the morning voters were
brought up very rapidly, shave half the constituency hav-
ing polled before eleven o'clock. After that hour the pull
slackened, Lord Godirich keeping the lead, with a majority
varying from 45 to 60 over his opponent up to one o'clock at
two o'clock the majority was reduced to 63. The Starkeptesi
during the day gave out that they had a strong reserve at
the Georgeowl, which would tura the scale in their
favour. .At two o'clock they poured in this reserve, eon-
stating principally of twits, and at half-past twoo'clock the
majority of Lord Ooderich wan reduced to 29; but imme-
diately after this • reserve came up from Deighton and
polled fur Lord Outierach, placing him above his former
majority, for at three o'clock the majority was 61. At this
moment the excitement in the square was intense; it was
filled with a denser crowd than was ever before witnessed
in Iluddentirld. The shops and warehouses in the town
were generally closed in the afternoon. At the last moment
your correspondent could despatch a parcel, Lord Goderich's
majority was maintained. Very nearly the full number of
those who bad pledged to support Lord Ouderich, voted
for his lordship. Just as the poll closed the majority for
Lord 0-Wretch was above 80, and although that may not be
the enact number, there is nu doubt but his lordship is
returned by a large majority.

the 7th inst., says:—" To•day Lord Stratford do
Radcliffe had an audience of the Sultan, who wel-
comed him with great pleasure. Yesterday Lord
Stratford visited the Grand Vizier and Prince
Menchikoff. Deviating from the ordinary practice,
be also went on board the Caton, and had an inter-
view with the French ambassador, M. Lacoar. The
latter landed this morning, and, according to custom,
briefly addressed his countrymen, who came out in
crowds to meet him. Ills language was, however,
general in character, and no more than that of
Lord Stratford, revealed the part which be was about
to play. Colonel Rose leaves to-day for Malta, and
thence to England. There is a great movement here
in the arsenal, and the Turks eifuip their fleet, but
this is what they do every spring. Yesterday the
founders of the new bank received the tirman autho-
rising that establishment from the hands of tho
Grand Vizier."

The Frontier Messenger announces that Prince
Alexander of Servia has refused to comply with a
demand of the cabinet of St. Petersburg requiring
him to dismiss 111Df. Marinories and Dacha. The
Prince appeals to treaties which guarantee the right
of Servia to self-government.
A telegraphic despatch, dated Vienna, April 20,
says :—" There has been a slight riot at Constanti-
nople, got up by some fanatical Turks. Thanks to
the prompt measures adopted, it was soon put down.'t
Another despatch of the same date states that another
and more serious disturbance had taken place against
the Christians at Broussa, and that twelve of them
had been wounded.

CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 12.

Prince Menschikoff was pressing for a solution
and threatening to depart.
The Turkish government hid concentrated its
troops at Constantinople. War steamers, fully
armed, had taken up positions on the principal points.
Russian steamers. on their part, had left for
Yemleks, to protect their countrymen and the Chris-
tians. The French fleet was still at Salamis.

TOUCHING FOR KING'S EVIL.—Tho following
passage bearing upon the custom of touching for the King's
Evil, and its antiquity, is extracted from Lung's transla-
tion of Snorro Sturleson's lieimskriugla." King Olaf
the Rich, afterwards Saint, had fled to Russia on being
driven cut of his kingdom by Knut the Great.
Ingi-
gerd, Queen of Russia, desired a widow to take her son,
who " had a sore boil upon his neck," to King Olaf,
" the best physician here, and beg him to lay his hands
on thy lad." 'the king was unwilling to do so, saying
that he was not a physician ; but at last consented :
"Then the king took the lad, laid his hands upon his neck,
and felt the boil for a long time, until the boy made a very
wry face. Then the king took a piece of bread, laid it in the
figure of the cross upon the palm of his hand, end put it
into the boy's mouth. Ile swallowed it down, and from that
time all the soreness left his neck, and in a few days he was
quite well. . . . Then first came Olaf into the repute
of having as much healing power in his hands as is ascribed
to men who have been gifted by nature with healing by the
touch." Laing asks in a note: "Is the touching ter the
King's Evil . . . connected with this royal saint's
healing by the touch ?"—" The lieimskringla," vol. ii., p.

GERMANY.

The telegraphic despatch lately, reported that the
First Prussian Chamber, acting in direct oppoeition to
its conservative maxims and character, had rejected
the bill for making the Second Chamber renewable
by election every sixth instead of every third year,
uat present. The report of the sitting shows that
the Assembly rejected the bill in a fit of disgust with
the Second Chamber, which had struck out some of
its illiberal clauses.
The contemplated issue of more paper money by
the Elector of Hesse has compelled the Berlin cabinet
to take into consideration the means of protecting its
currency from an inundation of depreciated notes.

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 22, 1853.

sunvEYons OF MIDDLESEX.

Lord R. GIIOSVENOR moved for an account of the
number of houses surveyed, and amount of all fees ve•
eetved, during the last five years by the surveyors of the
county of Middlesex, distinguishing the number of houses
Jed, and the amount received in each year by the
die surveyors of the several districts.—Agreed to.
BOROUGH OF BARNSTAPLE.
- -

Mr. O. STANLEY appeared at the bar and reported the
decision of the select committee appointed to determine the
petition in this case, to the effect (as given at length in the
Daily New of yesterday) that Sir W. A. Prater
and Mr. Breroridge were not duly elected ; that
the election was a ♦oid election ; that several
eases of bribery had been proved to the satis-
faction of the committee, and that Mr. Bremridge was
cognisant of an offer having been made to John Ireland
to induce him to vote for Sir W. A. Fraser, and ratified
that offer, but with this exception it was not proved that
bribery was committed with the knowledge or consent of
the sitting member*.
OFFICERS OF THE MILITIA.

Col. LIN Diif asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department, if the clerks of the peace in counties bad
any legal right, or had any authority from the government,
for charging the officers of militia with fees, either on ap-
poietment or promotion ; and if it was the intention of the
government to take any steps to prevent a continuance of
this practice for the future.
Lord PALMERSTON said he bad bad many representa-
tions on the matter to which the gallant gentle-
man's question referred namely, the fees, and
in some imitated eases, very considerable fee",
which were levied by clerks of lieutenancy and
clerks of the peace upon militia officers for their commis-
gone. The .hon. and gallant officer was aware that the
commissions of militia officers were signed, not by the Secre-
tary of State, like the commissions of the regular army,
but by the lord lieutenant, who, by the act of parliament,
was the person competent and authorised to sign the same.
The government, therefore, had no control over these dif-
ferent clerks, bat as far as he was informed, and he had in-
quired, he was not aware of any law by which these clerks
were entitled to levy these fees. They might, of course,
have a claim for some recompense for the labour and duty
of preparing the commission, but he was not aware that
there was any law either thing the fee, or under which they
could recover the fee. As the house was aware, the officers
of the regular army were not at present subject to any fees.
They would endeavour by some means to relieve the officers
of the militia from any charge on their eimm'arlans.

THE INDIA GOVERNMENT BILL.

Sir C. WOOD brought in this bill, which war read a first
time. _ _

The second reading was fired for the 23rd inst.
The house adjourned at half-past twelve o'clock.

COURT OF COMMON COUNClL.—Yesterday a court
was held for the despatch of business. The Chairman of
the Officers and Clerks Committee brought up a report
"on the office of Chamberlain, and for sealing the deed
for regulating the same." It was founded mainly on the
arrangement made with the two previous chamberlains.
On the motion that the Chamberlain's salary be fixed at
2,500/. per annum, Mr. De Jersey moved, and Mr. Fox se-
conded, an amendment fixing it at 1,5001. This, after a
discussion, was rejected by a largo majority. A second
amendm nt was then proposed, viz., that the Chamberlain's
salary should be 2,000/ instead of 2,500!., a year ; and
upon a division it appeared that the amendment was ne-
gatived by a majority of 41, the numbers being—For 2,0001.
a year, 26 ; against it, 67. The original question was
then agreed to amidst cheers, and the deed was sealed.
After same business of no public importance the court ad-
journed.

THE INSTALLATION FESTIVITIES.
OXFORD, JUNE 9.—A grand banquet was given in
the spacious hall of Christ Church yesterday evening to the
Earl of Derby, for which covers were laid for 380. The
company fell somewhat abort of that number, about 360 sat
down. The Dean occupied the chair, and was supported
by the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor of the University.
This morning the doors of the Sheldonian Theatre were
thrown open soon after ten o'clock. and in a very short
time every part of the theatre was filled. The upper gal
lery was not so densely crowded as on Tuesday, a great
many of the undergraduates having left Oxford for the long
vacation. The farce of Tuesday was again repeated by the
undergraduates. On the arrival 01 the Chancellor, accom-
panied by the Vice-Chancellor, noblemen, heads of houses,
doctors, and proctors, the convocation was opened, and the
hooorasy degree of Doctor of Civil Law was conferred on
the distinguished individuals whose names have been al-
ready given.
The proceedings having terminated, the Chancellor in the
usual way dissolved the convocation, and the vast assem-
blage dispersed to view the different objects of interest in
the university.

EXTRAORDINARY CREDULITY.

PRESTON, TOURSDAY.—An instance of credulity
unprecedented, perhaps, in the annals of fortune-telling,
has just come to light, a countryman having been tricked
out of 1501. by a female of the gypsey fraternity. The on
fortunate dupe is Richard Brindle, a labourer in the service
of Mr. John Jenkinson, a farmer residing at a little village
in the neighbourhood of Lancaster. It appears that by
persevering industry and frugality Brindle, who is about
GU years of age, had accumulated a sum of money, which be
deposited at the bank of Messrs. Fleetwood, l'edder, and
Co., in Preston. During the week preceding Whitsuntide,
a party of gvpseys encamped in a lane in the vicinity
of Mr. Jenkinson's farm; and on the Friday
in that week, Brindle was accosted by a woman
of the tribe, who had in all probability ascertained the state
of his tinswes. Having got into conversation the crafty
gipsy asked the simple minded man if be wanted a wife, to
which he replied that "he could do with one." Upon this
she represented that she knew of a lady who would just suit
him—one who had " a bit of money, a bit of land, and
three or four beasts." Charmed with this information,
Brindle met the gipsey on several subsequent occasions, and
was at length persuaded to draw his money out of the bank.
This he did, and entrusted the gold to the woman for some
mystic incantation. Receiving back what he believed to be
his treasure, wrapped up in brown paper, he put it away
for a week, and then came to Crediton with it for the pur
pose of again depositing it in the bank last Tuesday. It
was not until then discovered that the gold had been
changed for pieces of lead, cut to the size of sovereigns. It
is unnecessary to say that the woman is non est.

BELGIUM.

The Duke of Brabant, eldest son of King Leopold,
made his first speech in the Belgian t3enate on the
ith, in favour of the bill for increasing the army.

GERMANY.

It is not true, as has been asserted, that Prussia
has recalled her artillery officers now in the military
service of Turkey. General Von der Groben had a
long audience of the King, in the presence of M.
Manteuffel on the sth instant, and was to leave im-
mediately, on special mission, for Constantinople.

The committee declared " That Lord Adolphus Vane is

That Lord Adolphus Vane was, by his agents, guilty of

D. Bell, Son, and Co. report that there lias been
during the week a good demand for the Federal
State Btocks and Bonds, which are now becoming
scarce. ThOre has likewise been a good deal of busi-
ness doing in those state stocks, the interest on which
is now becoming due—such as Maryland and Vir-
ginia Bonds. In railway bonds there has been but
little doing, and the only change is an improvement
in the price of the New York and Erie Convertible
Bonds of 1862. Present quotations are thus re-
