THE POLICE COURTS.

DOW-STREET.

Dieu Kingston, an Irishwoman, who had a child in her
arms, was charged with creating a disturbance at the Catho-
lic Chapel, in Kiag William-street, Strand.
The Earl of Arundel and Shim stated that the defen
dant came to the chapel on Tuesday evening, in a state of
intoxication, and was refused admission in consequence.
She then created a noise, to the disturbance of the congre
gation, and was finally given into custody ; but as she had
exhibited a feeling of contrition, and had a young child to
support, there was no wish to press the charge against her.
The defendant, who said she went to have her child
christened, and felt hurt at being rejected, promised not to
repeat tits offence.
Mr. Hoary told the defendant that she ought to be
grateful to his lordship for the lenient view he had taken of
her gram neinanduot, and, after a suitable caution, ordered

SWITZERLAND,

FREIBURG, Aram 23.
To-day M. Perrier was brought before a court•tnar-
tisl. Ou the table of the court had been placed a xis. barrel re-
voles r, with the carbine, the sabre, and the cartoueh box
which belonged to him. Ile appeared quite unconcerned.
The wound which he received on the head is very slight.
Major Gerber saved his life by warding off a thrust of a
bayonet which was directed against him. His brother-in-
law, Captain Landeract, who commanded the artillery,
against the insurgents, conducted the defence. The public
prosecutor demanded the application of the punishment of
thirty years in irons. The civic guard unanimously de-
manded that he should he condemned to death. The
court adopted the application of the public prosecutor,
and has thereby caused great excitement among the
civic guard, as they say that in a few months he will
have obtained his pardon, and will make a fresh attempt
at revolt. Carrart, one of the leading insurgents, was only
amnestied in 1830, when he swore never more to take up
arms against the government.
Colonel Perrier bas not given any information as to who
were his accomplices. He pretended in his defence that hi
had no intention of shedding blood. Nevertheless it was
he who distributed the powder, and he was himself fully
armed. The fanatical cure of Torny and Louis Week have
been arrested. The director of the college and all the
pupils were made prisoners by the insurgents, and Cured
proposed that they should all be put to death, as they had
imbibed bad principles; but he was killed at the moment
that he was leaving the church of the Jesuits. The civie
guard fought very well; they were placed in a very diffi-
cult position, having had in order to reach the College to
ascend two flights of et, pa and to pass through a narrow
street. The Carabineers soon dislodged the peasants, woo
were stationed at the windows. A number took refuge in
I the church, where they were tired on with grape. The go-
! veroment has made many arrests. The state of siege has
just been raised. The town is tranquil, and the market
to-day has been:numerously attended. Among the pri-
soners taken are several cures, two former mayors, and a
high bailiff. A flag was captured having on it the effigy
of the Blessed Vire&

EXHIBITION AT NEW

YORK.

The following is a copy of a circular that has been
issued by the Department of State at Wuhiagton, relative
to the Industrial Exhibition at New York—
" Department of State, Wasbingws, March 31, 1863.
" Sin,—lnquiries having been addressed to this depart-
ment on the subject of the admission of inch articles u
may be contributed by the Sovereigns of Europe and other
friendly powers, to the New York Crystal Palace Exhi-
bition, I deem it proper to acquaint you with the views and
intentions of the Treasury department in relation to the
matter.

" lon are aware, doubtless, that in ordinary cases, the
laws require that if goods are not accompanied by
invoices, importers shall give bond to produce invoices,
which must be sworn to by the actual owner. It is believed
that no difficulty will arise on the part of individual owners
in complying with these requisitions; and the Treasury de-
partment has issued regulations upon the subject, with
special references to the Crystal Palace Exhibition, which
which are based upon this assumption.
" It cannot be required, however, nor, indeed, expected,
that those Sovereigns who have taken, or may take, an in-
terest in this exhibition would conform to the minor details
and technicalities imposed upon private individuals; to
avoid, therefore, the tedious and, in such cues, unnecea
sary formalities of furnishleg invoices, • swearing to the
actual cost of articles, &e., it is proposed by the Treasury
department, as due to the comity and good will so happily
subsisting between the United States and other nations, to
make exceptions to the usual course in favour of such
powers as contribute to the New York Exhibition.
" You will, therefore, embrace an early opportunity to
inform the government of Great Britain that such an
arrangement will be mid° in their favour. At the same
time, it will be understood that this exception governs those
eases in which articles are entered for exhibition solely.
Should "any articles placed on exhibition remain in the
United States for consumption, it will be expected that a
statement of their cost will be seat to the Custom-house
for its appraisement.—l am, &c.
(Signed) " W. L. MAacY."

The elections are fixed for May 17, and the open-
ing of the session for June 18. Tho programme of
the government announces that there will be no
change in the constitution.

TURKEY.

the Joarnal tle Constantinople publishes a version
of Lord Stratford's address to the Sultan on the ith
iv.t. Lord Stratford said :
Mire,—At the express command of my most gracious
tionotiors, I oats again appear before your Imperial Ma-
je,fy. la consideration of circumstances of no little im-
p ranee, the Queen was pleased to hasten my return,
thereby giving a new proof of the lively and friendly sym-
pathy which she and her government feel for everything
concreted with the welfare of the Ottoman Empire and with
the person of your Majesty. Notwithstanding some peen-
lit? difficulties, I obeyed the commends of my sovereign,
Let en:y from a feeling of duty and honour, but with a
pleasure arising from a sincere wish to be able to contribute
to the furtherance of the interests of your Majesty—which
Ow Wen hos vs much at heart—and from in prospect of
again snjnyine the favour which I have so often met with
at your Majesty's court. It would be seperfluous to repeat
my assurances to your Majesty on this point. The amicable
reistiens which fortunately exist between the two countries
are based on surer foundations than treaties. They rest on
mutual conhilence, and on interests which are more or leas
common to both. Indeed, I cherish the conviction that the
privileges granted to British subjects in this country re-
quire nos better guarantee than that arising from the policy
and sentiments of our Majesty.
The Journal e Constantinople says that the Sultan
was extremely touched by these expressions of re-
spect, friendship, and sympathy, and iu well chosen
language expresso d his feelings towards the Queen,
her government, and their worthy representative.

SWITZERLAND.

The Suisse, of Berne, of the 16th, says :—"
Monday last, the Federal Chambre d'Axusation
assembled at Olten (Soleure) decided on the case of
prisoners connected with the affair of the arms seized
at Poechiavo, and intended to favour the last insur-
rection at Milan. The prisoners were MM. Cle-
=multi, a merchant of Trieste ; C. Cazzola, a native of
=a and formerly a judge of the tribunal of
; Count Jean Griilanzoni, of Reggio (Duchy',
ellt Modena), and now a merchant in Argau; and
Ism Pole, and innkeeper of Poschiavo (Orisons).
The Chamber decided that there were sufficient
grounds for proceeding against Clementi, Canute, I
and Orilanzoni, on the charge of assisting the insur- I
rection in Lombardy, by supplying the insurgents
with arms, and ordered the arrest of the last-named,
who had been admitted to bail. It also decided that
there were no grounds for proceedings against Jean
Pole, but that he had no claim to indemnity for his
imprisonment. In the case of Meeker, a Hungarian
political refugee, Dioli, also a refugee, and Zanm-
gorio, a deserter from the Sardinian army, who had
been arrested on a charge of distributing Mazzinian
proclamations, the Chamber decided that the proofs
were not sufficient to convict them, but that the sus-
• •
puma against them were strong enough to do away
'with any claim to indemnity."

CHATHAM ELECTION.

CHATHAM, JUIIL 21.
The election for this borough took place to-day.,
The candidates were Captait. Vernon, brother to Sir F.
Smythe, and Admiral Stirling, who contested the borough
with the last-named. gentleman a t the general election is
1852, and upon whose petition the c lection of Sir F. Smythe
was declared void by the parliaments ry committee.
Mr. ELY stood forward and propose d Admiral Stirling
as a it and proper person to represent the borough of Chat.
ham in parliament.
Mr. TRIBE, in seconding the nomination, said he was
proud to have the opportunity a second time of performing
the same office, because he knew that when he was returned,
as he undoubtedly would be, he would go to parlia-
ment determined to support a government that had
the happiness, welfare, and progress of the country at
heart—(" hear, hear," and cheers)—a government which
might be truly described as a strong and a real govern-
ment, and whose acts would stand out in bold contrast
with those of its predecessors. (Cheers.) Mr. Tribe con-
cluded by seconding the nomination of Admiral Stirling.
Mr. T. WILL, jun., proposed Captain Vernon.
Mr. HILLS seconded the nomination.

Admiral &mums then addressed the de:ton. He said
that he once more appeared before them to solicit the high
honour of being returned a burgess to represent the borough
of Chatham in parliament, but, before be proceeded to
more important subjects, he begged to be allowed to refer
to the dreams, for he could call them nothing else, of IMO
of the gentlemen who had addressed them with reference
to himself and the highly respectable party with which
he was connected in the borough. When he came to the
hustings that morning he had resolved to utter nothing
that could give personal offence either to his gallant oppo-
nent or to any gentleman who gave him his support, and
he would not be drawn from that purpose by any-
thing that had been said about him ; but this he
would say, in his own defence, that if any act of his life,
from his earliest career to the present moment, caused him
a feeling of pride, it was that of coming to endeavour to
vindicate the freedom of election in the borough oft:Wham.
(. Ilear, hear," and cheers.) The whole of their rights
and liberties depended upon that great pillar, freedom of
election ; and any ono who endeavoured to invade that
great principle could not be regarded :in the light of a
friend of his country, and he put in peril all those great
principles which had raised it to its present state of great-
ness. Ile did, therefore, feel a pride at having vindicated
the freedom of election in this particular instance;
and he would tell them, in addition, that be

TO ANIMALS.

It always gives us great pleasure to record any
circumstances tending to promote or to mark any sympathy
of feeling between our own country and other nations, more
particularly between ourselves and the French, or the Ger-
mans. At the meeting held lately at the Hanover-square
Rooms for the promotion of the objects of this society, after
the report of the proceedings of the put year had been read,
and the chiirman and Lord D. Stuart had spoken, M. Le
Vim:mate deValmer,Vice-President of the Paris Society, and
delegate to London from the French society, after a most
interesting speech delivered in exceedingly good English,
presented two medals in the name of his Royal Highness
Prince Adalbert, of Bavaria, to Sir J. S. Lille, and to Mr.
W. Adams Smith, the delegates from the English society
at the last annual meeting of the Socistd Protectrice
des Animaux, held in Paris. At the same time
M. de Veinier read a letter from the Prince, being presi-
dent of the society at Munich, expressive of his greet anx-
iety for the more general dissemination of the principles of
humanity towards animals, and for the most cordial union
of the three associations of Paris, Munich, nod London.
This letter was received by the whole company with the
warmest acclamations, and on the proposition of General
Buckley, it was resolved that the Prince of Bavaria should
be requested to accept the title of honorary member of the
London Society, and that Mr. Palter, smile councillor, and
founder of the Munich Society, be elected an honorary
member. We trust that the warm reception which for the
second time M. de Valmer has met with In this country,
aided by the influence of the His Royal Highness Prince
Adalbert, in Bavaria. will be bat the precursors to the for-
mation of many similes sodium throughout Europe.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

The official report is as follows :—The public
health is now in a more satisfactory state. The weekly
deaths registered in Lesion were as the beghisiug of April
above 1,309; is May they averaged more than 1,190 ; in the
week that ended last Saturday the number fell to 924. In
the ten weeks corresponding to last week, of the years
184353 the average number was R 96, which, if raised in
prop.stios to increase of popslatios, biopsies 986. Hence
it appe►se that the actual mortality of the week is less than
the estimated amount by 62, a result more favourable than
has been obtained during a long period.
The number of fatal cases arising from typhus, con-
' tin..sed, remittent fever, do., which in the previous week
ading 11th June) was 59, declined last week to 35 ; thole
°rom small-pox from 6to 2 ; measles decreased in the two
to 20a
fro;mpht6h2isisto(oor consoumnptthioen)oftscr 163 to
wsicalelrkslaptfinneaumrot: from 30 to 39; hoeping-cough from 68 to
67; bronchitis from 54 to 59. Viewing the fatal diseases iu
the groups in which they are classified, it is seen that those
affecting the respiratory organs alone, are in excess of the
corrected average. But the nearly constant decrease of
this class (which does not include phthisis) daring the last
seven weeks is shown in the following numbers : 224, 199,
174, 162, 129, 136, and 127.
Last week the births of 742 boys and 667 girls, in all
1,409 children, were registered in London. In the corres-
ponding weeks of the eight years 1845-52, the average
number was 1,348.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 29.798 in. The reading
of the barometer increased from 29.59 in. at the beginning
of the week to 2914 in. by Oh. p.m. on the 15th ; remained
at this reading nearly till 9h. p.m. on the 17th ; and de.
Greased to 29.79 in. by the end of the week. The mean
temperature was 58.3 deg., which is 1 deg, below the
average of the same week in 38 years. The mean
daily temperature was below the ge on 4
days, above it about 2 deg. on Wednesday, Thurs-
day, and Friday. On Monday, when the wind blew
from the north-west, and 1.15 in. of rain fell, the mean tem-
perature was 9.1 deg. below the average. The highest tem-
perature occurred on Thursday, and was 74 deg. ; the
lowest was on Friday, 49 7 deg. The greatest difference
between the due point temperature and sir temperature
was 19.5 deg., and occurred on Thursday ; the difference
fell to Odeg. on Monday ; the mean difference of the week
was 7.1 deg. The wind blew from the north on the first
three days, and afterwards from the aonth-wit.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK LANE-THIS DAY.

The arrivals of all descriptions of grain have been small
this week. English Wheat maintained its value, sad,
although the attendance of millers was small, and demand .
limited, holders of foreixn refused to submit to a decline,
and needy buyers had to pay former prices.
Barley scarce and fully as dear. Oats were in large sup- .
ply, and the turn in prico was decidedly abaiust the
buyer.
Beans and Peas brought quite as much money as earlier ,
in the week.

SPAIN.

The Herald° announces that General Prim, who
was in Paris on leave, was to proceed to Turkey on a
scientific military mission, confided to him by the
Spanish government. Independently of his pay, he
will be allowed 120,000 reals for his expenses. lie
is to be accompanied by two aides-de-camp, MM.
Delantre and Fernandez Ban Roman, brother of the
Under-Secretary of State of the War Department.
The general is instructed to follow the phases of the
war, should hostilities break out between the Turks
and tho Russians, or at least to study, in a military
point of view, the events of which Constantinople
may be the theatre.
The Clamor Publico blames General Prim for ac-
cepting that mission from the government. Members
of the army, who are political men and opposition
deputies, should not, in the opinion of that journal,
undertake such missions.

DEPUTATION TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL.-4DVER•
TIIIIIIIINT Duty.—A memorial, numerously signed by
influential citizen* of London, was presented yesterday to
Lord John Russell at the Pay-ofilce, Whitehall, urging the
total repeal, rather than the reduction, of the advertise.
smut duty, and pointing out that all the gross inequalities
of the old tax wou'd remain under the sixpenny rate, which
would mntinue to cripple and extinguish cheap literature.
His lordship stated that was the sole consideration
for which the tax was retained, and denied any intention
to control the press.
THE DRAMA IN ITALY.—The Piedmontese Gazette

THE CITY THOROUGHFARES.

TO Till EDITOR OP Till EXPICIIIS.

fits,—l am induced, by your admirable remarks on
our streets, to send a query r to the real advantage likely
to be gained by the opening of Cannon-street—a good street
in itself, ►nt with very bad approaches. Although carmen
dislike narrow streets, there are two things they dread
more—eharp turns and awkward slopes,—and I think it
will be found that our heavy traffic will take that course
which is most level and most direr, even if narrow and
crowded, in preference to that which is tortuous and hilly!
Now, from Whitechapel and the docks—the chief sourer
of our heavy traffic—there are three modes of access to this
new street; Ist, by John-street or Jewry-street, Tower-
hill, and Tower-street; 2nd, by John-rivet, Ran -street,
Mark-lane, and Tower-street; 3rd, by Fenchurch-street
and Oracechurch-street. In all these way. there are either
, sharp and inconvenient angles, or steep ascents and descents
or both, and, in addition, there is the Tay awkward cross-
i ing at King William-street.
I can hardly doubt that the old route by Leadenhall-
street and Cheapside will still be preferred.
Altering one of your illustrations, Cannon-street is •
pipe, wide in the centre, but with both ends narrowed.
There are two modes of relieving this-Ist, by a thorough-
fare over Tower-hill, and widening of Tower-street ; 2nd,
and more importantly, by improving Fenchurch-street,
widening the east end, and making a new street from the
north end of Rood-lane to London-bridge. This latter
street is the only real mode of relieving Cheapaide, by
effectually drawing off all the east and south traffic.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
VIATOR.

'DISCOVERY OF A PORTRAIT BY RAPHAEL.—A
person at Misses had for a long time in his possession a
drawing in red chalk, to which he attached so little value
that it was thrown aside among some waste paper. An
amateur having recently seen it, purchased it from him for
21. The purchaser having brought it to Paris showed it to
some artists, who told him it was an admirable sketch, and
he accordingly presented it to the director of the Musees.
Soon after his return to Nimes he received a letter of
thanks from an inspector of the Beau: Arts, in which it
was stated that after minute investigation the drawing
was found to be the portrait of La Fornarina, by Raphael,
and was estimated as being worth, at the lowest, 10,0001.
GREEK BANDITS.—A deputation was sent front
Samoa, a abort time ago, with 100,000 piastres (15,0000,
to be paid at Constantinople. On disembarking in Arlo,
Minor, they were assailed by bandits, who took the money
from them, and then sent back four of them to say thm, if
another 110,000 piastres were not paid, the estamad.er, six
in number, would be put to death. The ailkiainistsation
and the Senate of Samoa were witkont,. straosuicea, and
neither they nor the families of the priewaete Wyk** means
of going to their relief. The brigands aroltajtpeeed ta, be

HUNGARY.

A German letter from Pesth of the 17th thus
speaks of the arrests and commotions at Pesth, which
we reported on Saturday morning, according to the
electnc telegraphic despatch :
" It appears as if the scenes of Milan have excited
a sympathetic movement here, and that a general in-
surrection is contemplated. For several days arrests
have been made, and the prisons are full of persons
suspected or compromised. The night before last the
polio° arrested twenty travellers in the Hotel
d'Angletcrre.
" Yesterday evening sentinels were posted at all
the gates leading to the fortress of Buda (opposite
Pesth), a most unusual precaution. The chief gate
is commanded by officers. The Arsenal, opposite the
Palace of the Archduke, has received a reinforce-
ment of troops from the artillery and engineer corps.
The infantry battalions are kept in readiness to
take arms at the first signal. These measures seem
to indicate an apprehension of a coup do main on the
fortress to deliver all the political prisoners."

MINE&

TIIIIIINDAY HYMNING.
1 Business in British Mining stocks continues to
be of the most satisfactory character. Indeed, the
market has not for many years been marked by so
continued a buoyancy, which is in a great measure
tin,
owing to the rapid rise in the price of copper,
and other metals. The inquiries to-day have been
chiefly for Devon Great Consols, Wheal Buller,
United Mines, Wheal Carwnter (Gwinnear)! He-
rodsfoot, Alfred Consols Creegbraws, Trefusis, Li-
nares, Tavy Consols, South Tamar, Bell and Lan-

The gold mining shares met with an increased
business, and were generally firmer. The shares of
Australian companies are especially inquired for.
Speculation tends decidedly in favour of mining and
other adventures connected with the gold countries.
Ave Maria, British Australian, and Liberty shares
were higher; and Port Phillip, Noveati Monde, Colo-
nial Gold, and Great Nugget Vein particularly firm.
Waller shares were more offered to-day in the mar-
ket, but many
.of the most respectable jobbers will
not make a price to do business, refusing to have
anything to do with the "rig."

GERMANY.

Telegraphic despatches from Vienna, of the 22nd,
announce that the Emperor is fast recovering from
the late attack. _ _ _

The Irreuz Zettutig states absolutely that the com-
mercial and customs treaty signed by the Prussian
and Austrian plenipotentiaries on the 19th is to oome
into operation on the Ist of January next, and that
Prssala reverves the right of accession to the same
in favour of those German states which shall be
united with her in the Zoilverein. The Krems
Zeiteusg further learns that Hanover will mark her
acceptance of the September treaty by at once pub-
lishing those of its preecriptions which should come
into operation on the let of March.
Since the outbreak at Milan, the Austrian-disposed
newspapers of Germany have daily contained pre-
dictions, some of themprofessing to be authorised, of
a joint note to be addressed to England by the
European powers, demanding coercive measures
against the refugees. With Piedmont and Switzer-
land a shorter process is, according to
these authorities, to be followed. The Post
Gazette published at Frankfort. the faithful expo-
rent of Austrian ideas, announced on the 19th that'
the imperial government will set to work " to purge
Switzerland and England of the revolutionaries;"
but omits to say how it will go *bout the task. The
reactionary governments of hurope are still very sore'
from the effects of Lord Palmerston's note, which,
with copies of Mr. Gladstone's pamphlet no Naples,'
they received two years ago from the Foreign-office,
and would gladly seize an opportunity of recrimina-
tion. The semi-official Pariamento states that the'
relations of the cabinet of Turin to that of Vienna'
are again very cold; and another Sardinian paper
connects the Marquis d'Azeglio's visit to England
with a desire on the part of his Sovereign to draw
closer the bonds of amity between this country and
his own, in anticipation of possible dilEculties.
