BERLIN, SIIPT. 22.
The police have again interfered with the fre-
quenters of the Corn Exchange. Tho syndics, or
chiefs of the Exchange, having protested in vain
against the intrusion, have withdrawn in a body to
another locale. To-day not one person attended the
old hall.

Our telegraphic epitome of American intelligence
contains the fact that Russia, Austria, and Prussia
have presented at Washington a protest against the
course punted by Captain Ingraham, of the St.
Louis, in the Koesta affair at Smyrna. The gallant
captain's conduct in the circumstances complained of
has, however, been sanctioned by the government of
the United States, and we may probably have to
communicate some lively diplomatic correspondence
on the subject in a few days.
The Pru.sian journals publish a note jointly trans-
mitted by Austria and Prussia to the governing senate
of Hamburg in disapproval of the draft of the ne w con-
stitution proposed for that " free state." The note
recals the condemnation of the constitution of 1830 by
the Germanic Diet, and, under the form of a hope, sug-
gests a command to lay aside the modified draft now
under the consideration of the citizens.

M. Brentano, Austrian ministeral councilor at-
tached to the department of finance, has returned to
Vienna from a fruitless journey to London, Amster-
dam, and Frankfort, where he has had the boldness
to propose a new loan to the capitalists of those
cities. It is understood that the project is reluctantly
postponed until a more auspicious moment.

NAPLES, Sire. 24.

A royal decree has appeared which says :—" The
traffic of ships coming from Newcastle to the ports
of the Two Sicilies will be provisionally suspended."
lit is generally expected that this decree will be fol-
lowed by a general quarantine impost on all vessels
coming from England. A steamer from Liverpool
came in yesterday with the yellow flag, and was put
into a five days' quarantine. The Neapolitan Board
of Health is only waiting official returns of Cholera
from England to put the long quarantine laws into
practice. Trade is unusually dull. The exportation
of Spanish dollars continues, and large orders to buy
silver are still arriving.
Another decree extends the permission to import
all sorts of grain into the Two Sicilies, duty free, up
to the end of May, 1854.

M. ALEXANDRE DUM4S.

The following letter from M. Alexandre Dome.'
appearing in the lndepewdatsee Bilge, is a spirited assentes
of the dignity of literature against a very paltry libel:
" Sir,—You have borrowed from a Paris journal a para-
graph containiag a serious error respecting me, evidently
circulated with a malicious intention. Here is the para-
graph. I like to reproduce in their entirety articles in-
tended to he disagreeable to me, for I often find by the
facility with which I can refute them that they flatter
my self-love, instead of wounding my surceptibilite.
The journal says :—' It is known that a part of the subsidy
granted to the Theatre Francais is destined to be distri-
buted in gratification., which the minister may award to
authors or to actors who bare deserved well of art and lite-
rature. A considerable portion of this fund has just been
allotti d wider the bead of premiums of encouragement and
testimonial of approbation. Among the authors remune-
rated the names of M. E. Angier and Alexandre Dumas are
mentioried.' I could not receive money from the Theatre
Francais under either of these heads. Premiums of en-
couragement : I am no longer a man to he encouraged,
but a man to be paid. Testimonial of approbation :
No minister and no theatre is called upon to give
me any testimonial of approbation. I never worked
fur any minister, and for the last ten years I have written
for the Theatre Francais. The simple fact is this: H.
Homey', the manager, asked me for a play. I presume he
thought it fir his interest to do so. I made my terms with
Id. Houssays—that, of course, I had a right to do. An
agreement was entered into accordingly. That agreement
has been kept on both sides. There is no question about
any premium, or any testimonial of encouragement. It is
simply a matter of a reciprocal contract. Whenever I re-
ceive money from the government, I shall be the first to
say so. But hitherto no opportunity has occurred for testing
my sincerity in this wise. I may perhaps come to that. We
shall see.—Accept, &e.

LAMBETH.

Mr. George Brom. a e•wfuesper, and the owner of a
dust-yard in South street, Walmosth-common, appeared
before Mr. Elliott to answer a mimeos under the Removal
of Nuisances Act, for permitting a nuisance on his pre-
mises, stated to be most injurious to the health and comfort
of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood.
It was proved by the Inspector of Nuisances for St. Mary,
Newington, that the defendant not only kept swine, but
that he permitted, in spite of the remonstrance of the in-
habitants, an accumulation of filth, composed of night soil
and offal, in his dust-yard, the stench from which was so
great, that many persons had suffered severe nausea and
Illness.
Witnesaes were produced to prove this, and that, at a
time when cholera had made its appearance in the parish,
the nuisance was becoming really alarming.
The defendant was convicted in a penalty of 20.. and
ante, the magistrate informing him that unites ho at anus
and entirely removed the nuisance, the full penalty woad
he asuf arced.
Gr. Bushell, a member of the Sanitary Board of St.
I Mary, Lambeth, applaud for a further summons against Mr.
George Frederick Carden, the barrister, anal brother of
Alderman Carden, for continuing the anaemic(' in his yard,
in the vicinity of Lambeth-walk. A previous summons had
been issued against Mr. Carden, for Thursday, but be had
failed to attend.
A medical certificate having been put in, stating the
dangerous character of the nuisance to the public health,
a second summons was issued against Mr. Carden, and
the officer was directed to serve it on him as soon as
' possible.

MORE FATAL LOSSES AT SEA.

The Dutch and Antwerp steamers, which arrived
in the river on Saturday, furnished an addition to the long
catalogue of disasters which had occurred during the equi-
noctial gales of the past week. A schooner was totally lost
on the Heals, near Niers Diepe. The crew were observed
in the rigging, supplicating for assistance, but the sea,
which was breaking over the wreck, defied all alofts
to reach them. The name of the vessel could not
be distinguished. On the same point of coast two
ether ships were wrecked, ono an English vessel, the Bruns-
wick, Mr. Pike, master, from Cardiff for Hamburgb, and
the other a Russian barque bound to St. Übes. The crews
are reported to have been saved. Another British vessel,
the schooner Jessie, of Gloucester, from Daniels t 3 London,
' was stranded on Hurdeodde. The flooding of the country
round Rotterdam has occasioned the greatest destruction of
property. Such an inundation has not been experienced
there for years. A very large number of cattle were
drowned. The flood had altogether subsided when the last
mail left.
Mr. Partridge, the master of the Hope of Shields, while
on a return voyage Irons London, reports falling in with the
wreck of a brig E.N.E. of tke Lemon and Owers, just above
Yarmouth, of above 300 tons. She had lost her masts,
bowsprit, boats, and bulwarks, and was beating about quite
at the mercy of the waves. The crew called out, and im-
plored Mr. Partridge to save them. He did all he could
towards rescuing them, but the sea, which was running
high, drove the Rope away, and the wreck was lust sight of.
Her name was not known.

THE POLICE COURTS.

BOW-STREET.

WYillia•s Rea►don, a young man with • bad reputation
among the polies, was charged with assaulting a French-
man, named Mark Philip,. The defendant was first ►rought
before Mr. henry on Friday morning.
The complainant, a well-dressed man, then stated that be
wen walking along the street the previous evening, when
the defendant accosted him with unpleasant
pulled him on the shoulder, end said, Give us twopence,
old fellow, for a drop of drink." Complainant indignantly
repelled his acquaintance, upon which the defendant de-
tained bins by the collar, leaving him no alternative but
to call • policeman and give the intruder into custody.
When at the polies-station, the defendant bad the infamy
to say that the complainant had been himself in custody for
an indecent offence.

Defendant—And so he has been. I was in the City Prison
myself with him. I had ten days, and he wu in for two
months ; and ugh wee his character, that he wee not per-
mitted to associate with us. . . .

Complainant (raising both his hands and looking into the
skylight of the court)—Good God ! the base, the wicked
accusation !
Mr. Henry—You need not feel hurt, because, if tLe
charge is Wee, I will take ears that it recoils against him-
sell. He is a very bad character. Did the prisoner mention
this at the station ? _ _ _

Inspector Dodd—He did, your worship, but I dou't be-
lie•e a word of it. I certainly would not behove bin upon
hie oath.

The prisoner—What I say is the fact. Let one of your
constables go down and see into it. That is the point.
Mr. Henry—Oh, there will be due inquiry, as he insists
on repeating the charge. The complasnant, having kis
own character is view, will, I dare soy, be glad enough to
go with one of the officers to see the city gaoler, who an
disprove the imputation, if it is false.
Complainant—lt is false—it is wicked—it is monstrous.
The cue was then adjourned till Saturday, to admit of
the proposed inquiry.
The court, however, had hardly been cleared of the public
when the complainant returned, and wished to speak pri-
vately with the magistrate. He amid he was very sorry—
very mush —but, is the presence of the public, he
did not like to admit that he bad ever been in prison. Un-
happily, however, it was toe true. He was in prison two
years ago, having been committed for two months by the
Lord Mayor.
Mr. Henry—When the prisoner was present you stated,
on your oath, that the accusation was flee. Now he is
absent, you admit the fact. This is scarcely creditable to
you. However, the case is remanded.
The defendant was placed again at the bar on Saturday,
and Inspector Dodd reported that due inquiry had been
made; but the gaoler could not identify the complainant
as a former prisoner.
Availing himself of this lucky accident, the Frenchman
now wished to back out of his former admission, and to re-
assert that the accusation was false, which he did with •
look of injured innocence.
Mr. Henry said he could not deal with the charge upon
the evidence of a person who had prevaricated so flagrantly,
and accordingly dismissed the ease.

NEW DIVISION OF MIDDLESEX.

On Saturday came into operation a new division
of the county of Middlesex, for the purpose of holding
Petty Sessions, in compliance with the decision of the ma.
gist/ales at the (3 l Quarter Sessions, held at the Ses-
sion-house, Clerkenwell-green, on the 4th of July. The
alteration was resolved upon in consequence of the increase
of population of several of the parishes which have hitherto
been incorporated with other divisions, such as Paddington,
St. Pancras, and Marylebone. The two latter parishes have
local acts, by which they severally poetess the privilege of
having session* for granting and transferring pub-
licans' licenses, and for hearing compleints against
those tradesmen who have false weights and
measures; but at these sessions the magistrates do
not posing all the powers appertaining to Petty Sessions.
These parishes will, therefore, have the power to hold Petty
Sessions. There are other parishes, which will be taken
from one and added to another division. Thus, Ealing,
which was part of the Kennington division, as was else
New Brentford, will in future be attached to the Hundred
of Isleworth, as will also the parishes of Hanwell, Green-
ford, Perrivale, and Northolt, which were in the Hundred
of Elthorne. The new divisions are the following :—Mary-
lebone, Pancras, Paddington, South Minims, Uxbridge,
Brentford, St. Margaret, Hanover-square, St. James and
the Strand Union. The Holborn, Finsbury, Kensington,
and the Homonton divisions are newly constituted, the
three first mentioned, in consequence of the above parishes
being removed from them, and Edmonton on account of
the parish of Stoke Newington being joined to it. It will
depend upon the justices of the several divisions when Petty
Sessions shall be held.

THE STORY.—WINTEITON, NORFOLK, SEPT. 29.
—The gale of last Sunday and Monday, so general on our
coasts, has deprived this village of three of its inhabitants.
Two young men, Hodges and Lerner, were swept off the
boats they were in and drowned. In the same manner
three men were swept overboard from • boat belonging to
Hemsby and drowned. One of them, named Powles,
belonged to Winterton, the other two men belonged to the
village of Heinsby. This is the extent of the loss of life, as
far as has reached this place ; but some of the boats are as
yet not accounted for.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE BLTTII AND TYNE
RAILWAY.—On Tuesday a fatal accident happened on this
railway, near Seaton Delaval. A man named James Con-
ning, and his wife, imprudently gut upon the line, when
an engine and train came up, and notwithstanding that
the driver sounded his whistle and shut off his steam, nei-
ther of the parties attempted to get out of the way, and
the result was that the engine struck the deceased, and
knocked him over the embankment, but the wife contrived
to make her escape uninjured. As it was found that the de-
ceased had no business on the line, and also that the driver
did all he could to stop the train, the jury returned • ver-
dict of secidsatal death.—Nnocastio Guardia*

COURT OF

TIN bankrupt, described as • wine merchant, of 01 ford-
street, applied for his certificate. lie owed to unsecured
auditors 7011.; assets about be. in the pound, after paying
the cawing'. It appeared, tram the report of the official
assignee, that the bankrupt bad tome to the court on has
own petition on the 13th April last. He had been bank-
rupt in 1837, paying then a dividend of 2.. sd. B th be-
fore and alter that date he had carried on the business of
wine merchant at Paris, and had returned to this country
after the revolution of 1848. He had subsequently held •
situation as town traveller to a house in the city, at a salary
of 3001. a year; he had then commenced business on hi.
own account with a small capital of about 2501.
Mr. Pausal stated, in answer to the court, that the
assets had realised 2301., and that of the creditors returned
at 7071., 4581. had been struck off, as having no claim.
Mr. Crouch, for the aldgnees offered no opposition. At
the time of the bankruptcy nearly the whole of the property
was in the hands of certain creditors; but, with the as-
sistance of the bankrupt, the whole had been recovered by
the assignees. His conduct bad been most praiseworthy,
and the assignees hoped that he would receive a certificate
of the first class.
Mr. Luca, on behalf of the bankrupt, discussed the eir-
cuntstances of the trading, and contended that the WO was
wholly one of unavoidable misfortune.
His Honour said there was much in the conduct of the
bankrupt to commend. He was not • mere adventurer,
but was hooourably distiaguished from that class, having
commenced business with • capital of 2501. Having regard
to his conduct both before and since the bankruptcy, the
court would grant him an immediate certificate of the 2nd
clam.

PARIS, SUNDAY MORNING.
When the Emperor arrived at Arras, on Thursday,
he was received by the mayor, who offered the keys
of the town, and made a very flattering speech. Their
Majesties entered the town in an open caleche.
Half way between the railway station and the en-
trance gate was a triumpal arch with the inscription,
" A Napoleon 111. La Ville d'Arras." On entering
the town their Majesties passed under a temporary
erection representing the ancient gates of Arras, over
which was inscribed, " Vivo l'Empereur !" "A Na-
poleon III! sauveur de la patrie !" "Vivo
trice !" Further on another arch bore the following
Latin inscription :

Eminuere novo vieteres Csetiare Galli
Augustuni videat Gallia pace alma.
Out of compliment to the Empress the following
Spanish inscriptions, remarkably easy of translation,
were exhibited :

La antigens evaded de Arras
A Lus Majestades Imperisles.
And
Salve Agnate Imperador. Salve a ti, noble Espagnols,
Arras te tordice, te am; Digna eteltrotio del mundo.
Y entusiumada te acciama La Francis in amor prolundo
De la Francis el *abrader. Ati se da, ati so immola.
At the cathedral the Monsignor Pariser, the Bishop
of Arras, made the following speech :
Sire,—Others may linke in the august person of your
Majesty the superorainent qualities which distinguish you;
that serenity of soul which nothing disturbs, that strength
of will which triumphs over everything, that infallible
glance which never lane seine the truth of things, and
that marvellous superiority before which ell obstacles fall
and all eminence is effaced. For us, sire, whose thoughts
!tmid be above this world beesuso our kingdom is
not of it, wo have other homage to otter you.
There is in your Mak sty something above the gifts of
nature—the mission you have itetiveLl from he.tven. The
more we refit ct in faith up..ti all that you have done with
FU much promptitude on t f o.,:tty, the more we are coo-
, vinced that you have nut acted alone. God is with you,
' s.re, anti that is your principal glory. Doubtless it is giro
ticus to be borne to a throne by the acclamations of a
people, and to be crowned with the renown of the greatest
name of modern times, but it is far more glorious to be the
privileged instrument of Providence for the salvation of a
great natioa and the peace of the world. May he, then,

removal of filth, dung, dust, uhes, and rubbish therein ;
the keeping-in-order of water-closets, privies, and drains ;
the filling up or covering of places used for the collection
of liquid filth ; the removal of any nuisance from pig-styes ;
the whitewashing and cleansing of filthy or unwholesome
houses ; and, under the " Common Lodging Houses Act,"
for the regulation of common lodging houses. The direc-
tions and regulations of the General Board of Health, dated
September 20th, 11453, in nowise supersede these powers.
On the other hand, they direct their active enforcement.
Boards of Guardians are directed to see to the execution of the
regulations of the General Board of Health; but it is for
the Local Board of Health to execute them. All persona
in the district, woo have complaint to make, in
respect of the matters above stated, should make com-
plaint to the inspector of nuisances to the local board.
Under the directions and regulations of theOeneral Board of
Health, the Board of Guardians of the Union have ac-
quired new powers, namely, of: Medical inspection, by
their officers, of unhealthy localities ; certifying unwhole-
some houses or nuisances ; directing what is to be done
where they find epidemic disease, or the premonitory symp-
toms of it; providing, where necessary, for house-to-
house visitation ; providing for the accommodation of
necesitous eases; providing for the removal of the sick, or
of other occupants of the same premises. These duties,
which are here stated to belong to hoards of guardians, are
not within the province of the Local Board of Health; but
the local board, and the board of guardians, will co-operate
in doing all that can and ought to be done under their joint
powers. But, however desirous the Local Bleed of Health
and the board of guardians may be to carry oat their du-
ties, now that a formidable epidemic has appeared in this
country, they must have the active aid of people of all
classes in bringing to the notice of the boards matters re-
quiring their attention ; in avoiding the creation of nut-
NW's; in removing those already existing; and in giving
warning, instruction, and help, to the hest of their power.

BIRMINGHAM.

Hero the public health has rarely been in a more satis-
factory state tbau at the present time ; there has been a
slight increase of diarrhoea during the week, but the disease
is of a very slight character, and easily repelled. A very
fair criterion of the health of the population generally is
afforded by the returns of the clerk to the Beard of
Guardians, and it is highly favourable. In seven weeks
from the beginning of the month of Atmast to the 18th
of September, 18.i2, he records 811 casts of dierrhtet, with
36 deaths. During the same period in the ',resent year
there have been 409 attacks of diarrhce t, and 10 deaths
only. The Board of Guardians have taken efficient pre-
cautionary measures iu the event of the appearance of the
disease.

AUSTRIAN ITALY.

The 01irial Milan Gazette, of the 19th, contains
the following illustration of Austrian views of crime
in Itely:

During the celebration of his Majesty our meat auto*
sovereign's birthday, no Mona.., on the Pith of August tut,
a political demonstration was made by Aware& RitalM, aged
41, of Mouse, bachelor, a dealer in colonial produce, aid
municipal aonis+or, anti by Carlo Bonacina, .iged GO, Incite.
lor, et landed proprietor, who has during the last two years
provisionally exercised the functions of Potesta of Monza.
For they omitted designedly to take the measures •hat are
usual when c-owds assemble to calm brate oath days ; they
displayed in the execution of the orders received
from the political authorities, and deliberately omitted
to take their official seats in the church as members
of the municipality ; moreover, ltsholdi, in parti-
cular, sent two menials of the municipality to their
homes, because they had their holiday clothes on, and
rebuked the mut.icipal lunctiouaries for having repaired to
the church without awaiting his ordow, threatening them
with reprisals. This was a bud example given to others,
and geeatly scandalised the whole town. On this account
the two above-mentioned persona, Riboldi and Bonacins,
were subjec,ed to a military trial, according to Arr. 14th of
the proclamation of March 10, 1819, issued by 11 E. Field-
Marshal Count Radetglii; and having been legally convicted
of the offence, partly by their own confession, and partly by
circumstantial evidence, th.: court martial oa the 17th inst.
condemned Riboleli to six months' military arrest, and a
tine of 1.000 tlorios (2,400fre), and Bonnier' to two months
of the same punishment and to the same fine. This sen-
tence has been fully confirmed by H. E. Count S adion,
provisional military governor of Lombardy, his said excel-
lency having directed that the fines be applied to the relief
of the poor of the town of Monza.

DISTURBANCES AT GREY TOWN AND

CHAGRES.

When the last West India steamer left Grey Town
and Chagres, disturbances were daily apprehended between
the Americans located at those places and the Mosquitan
and New Grenadan governments. At Grey Town, the
Mosquitan government had allowed the Americans the tem-
porary use of a small Wand, not much better than a sand-
bank, which forms part of the harbour, and is situated at a
short distance from the town. The Yankees quickly built
a few houses on it, and now the steamers that come down
the river, instead of stopping at the town as formerly to pay
dues and benefit the inhabitants, stop at the island and
avoid all dues, and deprive the inhabitants of the town of
an immense benefit. The Mosquitan government had
ordered the Americans to quit the Wand, because the eb•
ject for which they had been allowed a temporary location
there bad ceased. The Americans had refused to ►eave,
and the day after the West India packet left Grey Town
the Mosquitan government intended to drive the intruders
out by force. When the packet left Chagres there was a
violent dispute raging between the New Grenadan govern-
ment and the new town built up by American, German,
and other speculator: at Navy Bay. The New Grenadan
government had imposed a house tax on the stores and
houses built there, which the inhabitants had refused to
pay. The tax amounted to from 10 to 100 dollars a month,
according to the size of the houses and stores and the busi-
onus done in them. A military official had been sent down
to Navy Bay by the New Grenadan government, and the
struggle between the inhabitants and the authorities was
expected to come off n week after the mail steamer left
Chagres.

SHOCKING MURDER ON BOARD SUM

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.
Intelligence has just reached this port of a murder
committed on board an outward hound vessel a few hours
after her smiling from this port. On Tuesday morning the
brig, Wm. Thrift, of North Shields, L. Buchanan master,
left the Mersey boon I to Ales nutria, and proceeled with:a
favourable wind down channel. Nowlin! occurred worthy
of notice until about tour o'clock on Wednesday morning,
when the captain was reused from Lis berth by the mate,
who, in a state of great horror, informed him that a murder
had been committed on board. Captain Buchanan imme-
dia gave orders that the murderer should be seized and
iron; but on the mate returning on deck it was found
that after the culprit had completed his crime by split-
ting the skull of auother of the crew with an axe belonging
to the cook, he had cut adrift a small boat which was
stowed bottom up in the long boat, and attempted
to roll it over the side, with a view no
doubt to escape by it in the darkness. In
this he failed, owing to the boat being jammed
against some spars; and seising a scudding sail Wow he
jumped overboard with it and was eerie no more. The
crew of the William Thrift was shipped from the Sailors'
Home, and were remarked to Ire perfectly sober and efli.
Meat when the vessel left the port. it is believed that the
murderer and his victim had come frum the same boarding
huuse in Liverpool, but the circumstances which led to the
crime will probably never be revealed. No quarrelling be-
tween them was observed by the mate, who was the only
person on deck at the time. The spectacle presented on the
captain hurrying up from his cebiu is described as very
horrible, the head of the murdered man being completely
smashed by the blows he lied received. Thu bar, with the
corpse on bused, has put into Waterford, where it will
remain until an inquest is held.

MONTENEGRO.

Letters from Cattaro, of the 11th, in the Lloyd of
Vienna, announce the arrival there on the preceding
day of the Vladika of Montenegro, with several of
his chiefs, on their way to thank the Emperor of
Austria for the protection he afforded to the moun-
taineers in the late struggle. The Voivodc of Gra-
hovo died at Globug on the 4th. From later accounts
of the 13th in the same paper, it appears that the
Vladika left Cittaro on that day, in company with
Lieutenant-Colonel Stratomirovitsch and other Aus-
trian officers, and the Russian Commissaries Kowa-
lewski and Berger, to inquire into the truth of the
allegations of Omer Pacha against the population of
Piped, whom he accuses of having attacked the
Turkish troops in their garrisons. Omer Pacha still
has his troops concentrated at Sputz, Podgoritza, and
Aativari.

SOUTHWARK COUNTY COURT.—SATURDAY.
CONTI/ O. RANDOLPIII.—A %VIOLIN° Poirrostun.
This was enaction brought by the plaintiff, a verk in the
docks, to recover the sum of 51. Ns., the value of • wed-
ding rine and a pair of hracelets, unlawfully detained by
the defendant, a dressmaker residing at Bermondsey.
Plaintiff said he was introduced to the y ung lady
on the other side at • Christmas ball, given hy
• friend of his at New Cron. He there danced
with her, and at the end of the evening's entertainment he
accompanied her home. He afterwards met her, and they
made medal vows to enter into the married state, and
Valentine'. ll.iy was appointed to make him the happiest
of men. He accordingly purchased • wedding-ring, and
sent it to her to anertain whether it would suit, and he
afterwards purchased a pair of gold bracelets adorned
with serpent., which he sent to her to adorn her
person on their wedding day. But on the day
appointed for the nuptials the defendant went off
to Brighton, and married a cab proprietor. As soon as she
returned to Bermondsey he demanded the wedding-ring
and the bracelets, when she sent him an answer, refusing
to deliver up any thing, contending that thy were given
to her. Such not being the case, he brought the preseut
action.

The defendant, a sprightly-looking piing woman, said it
was hot likely she was going to throw herself away on a
starchy-looking fellow, who could hardly turn his head
round. Ile certainly did show her a little attention, and
presented her with the ring and bracelets, but she never
liked bins, and preferring the cab proprietor, she married
him. She refused to give the things up, because they were
given to her.
His honour said he must give judgment for the plain-
tiff, as far es the wedding-ring was cc ncerned, but the
bracelets were a gift, which she had a right to retain.
Judgment accordingly.

SWITZERLAND.

The Swiss journal, the Vafarland, says:—"lt is
matter of history. that the Emperor of the French
notified his marriage to all the powers of Europe in
the usual manner. The Federal Council charged its
president, M. Melt, to draw up the reply, which task
he executed to the best of his ability. The document
was then sent to the French Legation at Berne to be
forwarded to Paris. Some time after, the letter
came back to the Federal Council with an observation
from M. I)rouin de Lhuys, that it could not be pre-
sented to the Emperor, because it terminated with
the wards, Agreez l'assurance de notre haute consi-
&ration,' in place of the usual form, ' Vos tres-
humbles serviteurs. This finale, Agreez resat-
ranee, &c.,' is prescribed by en order of 1848, and it
would be curious to see a new diplomatic conflict
arise for a simple form of etiquette."
The Federal Council of Berne discussed, on the
22nd, and adopted, the note which had been drawn
up in reply to the complaints of Austria against the
government of the canton of Ticino. The reply
denies that there is foundation for any of these com-
plaints, and expresses a hope that Austria will re-
voke the measures to which she has had recourse as
regards the canton in question.
The New Zurich Gazette has the following from
Berne, dated the 23rd :—" A telegraphic despatch
from Colonel Bourgeois announces that to-day at two
o'clock in the afternoon a troop of peasants from the
Val Collet arrived suddenly at Lugano. They made a
great noise, and when they were asked what they
came for, they replied that they wanted money and
bread. It was soon ascertained, however, that they
were not in want of money, and that they were in a
state of intoxication. Fifteen of them were ar-
rested, It is not known under whose instigation
they acted."

bene, nevertheless, is one of the victims of 1853. Is
it in following this revolutionary course that the go-
vernment of Austria hopes to efface the memory• of so
many deplorable events, and merit the gratitude of
Italy, or the esteem of Europe ?
