FRANCE.

PARIS, TOZSDAT ETZNINO.
The Moniteur contains a copy of a circular letter
addressed to the prefects respecting the strict super-
vision of cafés and concert rooms.
The Emperor still continues confined to his apart-
ment, in consequence of indisposition.
The Paine of yesterday evening says :
A recent despatch from the Levant gives some fresh de-
tails which have not yet been mentioned. On the 27th ult.,
there were in the port of Constantinople an English war
steamer of 450-horse power, three Russian despatch vessels,
and the French steam frigate the chaptal. The Turkish
squsdron was at anchor at the Gulden Horn; and they &a-
-1 posted to be making arrangements for • start in • few
(Ilya. The news of the approaching arrival of M. de la
Cour, the new French ambassador, was current in the city,
and had produced an excellent effect, and the news in cir-
culation in the bestliffurmed circles was of a very tran-
quillising character. Another despatch from Egypt an-
nounces that two Turkish vessels of war, a sailing frigate of
60 pans, and • brig of 16 guns, were at anchor off
Alexandretta.
The Emperor has received the reply of the Grand
Duke of Hesse to the notification of the marriage of
his Imperial Majesty.

GERMANY.

The Berlin newspapers complete the telegraphic
despatches respecting the railway tax, which the
Second Prussian Chamber has sanctioned. The im-
post, which is to be levied on the net receipts of the
lines, is to be progressive in its ratio. Much objec-
tion was made to the principle of progressive taxa-
tion, which the government sought to apply, and
the ministers were compelled by the prevalent
opinion to stop at a lower figure in the scale of aug-
mentation than they originally proposed, but the bill
passed the first reading. When the net revenue
from the capital employed shall not exceed 4 per
cent., the tax will be one-fortieth ; when the revenue
exceeds 4 but is under 3 per cent., the tax will be
one-twentieth; beyond this point the tax will be
two-tenths.

The popular Berlin newspaper called the Uncalider
("primary elector ") has ceased to appear, being suc-
ceeded by another from the same press called the
Vuaueitung. The first number was published on
the 9th, but by 10 o'clock the same morning the
copies, 12,000 in number, were seized by the police,
and the editor was imprisoned.

RAILWAY 'BILL.

On the motion forticereeoncireading of this bill,
Mr. FREWEN moved that it be read a second time that
day sic months.

Mr. PACER supported the second reading, considering
that its operation would be beneficial to that part of the
country which it wu proposed to accommodate.
Mr. SPOONER hoped the house would agree to the bill
being sent to a committee.
Mr. OLYN thought the bill wu very objectionable in
many points of view, but would agree to its being referred
to a select committee, if only for the purpose of investi-
gating into the truth of the allegations made by this com-
pany against the Loudon and North-Western Railway QOM.

MINES.

TUESDAY EVISITIO.

There has been a moderate amount of business I
done in English mining shares to-day, and without
nay materiel alteration in prices. In Trebarvah
some large transactions have taken place, in conse-
quence
of an improvement in the mine. Shares in
Alfred Consols, Wheal Lemon, Pen y Gelli, Mill ,
Pool, East Basset, Wheal Crebor, and Wheal Yeoland
are in demand. The sales to-day include South Bas- ,
set, at sao; West Caradon, 300, 305 ; Alfred Consols,
19, ; West Providence, 54, 56; Bedford United,
104 ; Merllyn, 44; Trebane, 27, 28 ; Tremayne, 29,
31; Wheal Crebor, 16, 17, 18; Wheal Yeoland, 101,
11; Wheal Lemon, 61; West Treasury, 14, 4 ; Tre-
barvah, 10i, 111; Mill Pool, 54, 6; Wheal Carpenter
(Giwinnear), 9,1; Rorrington, 14, ; West Ding
Doug, 141, 15; St. Anbyn and Grylls, 10, 11; West
Edward, 1,1; Tavey Consols, 6,4; Little Dake, 4,
4; East Margaret, 12, 13; Cabert, 21, 4; Wheal
Russell, 41, i; Trewartha, 31, I; Trebeli Consols,
1, ; Stourtoa Consols, 14, 1; East Russell, 4, i;
Wheal Sarah, 55., 65.; Wheal Wrey, 20, 1; Anhui
Coal and Iron Company, 1 to 4 prem.
The gold mining share market was a good deal
depressed, sales being pressed in anticipation of the
settling. Peel River have fallen to 34 to 4 prem.
The "bull" account, open in these and other gold
mining shares, has au unfavourable effect, in the ab.
sence of existing news. The market is also preju-
diced by the number of new undertakings. Colonial
gold lett off 2to prem. ; Nouveau Monde,.! 9-16 to
11-16 prem.; Nova Scotia, 11 to 2 prem.; Metcalf,
15 to 16 prem.; Port Royal, 21 to prem.; Liquanea,
14 to 2 prem.
Foreign and Colonial Copper Mine shares are
generally flatter.
A reduction of twopence per pound has taken place.
to-day in the price of manufactured copper. The
present prices are reported by Messrs. Sims,
Nevill, Druce, and Co., as follows :—Martufao-
tared, 13d. per pound ; tough cake, 1171. per ton ;
tile, 1171. per ton ; beet selected, 1201. per ton; yellow
metal sheathing and bolts, 11d. per pound.
Mr. Gadsden sold to-day by public auction 1,000
Linares Lead Mining shares, on account of the com-
pany. By far the larger proportion of these shares
realised 121. each, a few went off at 11/. 17s. 6d., but
a considerable number of lots fetched 121. 2s. 61.,
and the last lots realised even 121. 10. The amount
paid per share is only 31.; and the result must conse-
quently be very favourable for the company. Forty
forfeited shares in the Dickewalls Mine were also
sold, at 2L as. per share.
At a two-monthly meeting of adventurers in East
Tamar, held to-day, the accounts showed a balance
of 751. 9s. 10d. in favour of the mine, and of pay-
ments over receipts before the meeting on the 23rd
June next of 9911. 195., and of estimated value of
ores coming forward amounting to 1,2001.
London, England, 1853-04-13

DENMARK.

A despatch, dated Copenhagen, April 7, states that
the ministers had accepted the amendment of the
4orisconsult Oersted on the succession question.
Phis tact does not concern the point really at issue,
as the amendment of M. Oersted admits the principle
of the royal message, and refers the settlement of the
succession to the King.

SPAIN.
A telegraphic despatch dated Madrid, April 8,
states that the Cortes were suspended on that tiny.
The Three per Cent. Interior had fallen to 43:
Deferred, 2315.16 ; Coupons, 31.

ITALY.

ROMAN STATES.

A letter from Rome, of the 31st March, in the Cor-
riere Mercantile of Genoa, states that the nominal
capital of the loan contracted by the Roman govern-
ment with Messrs. Rothschild is eight millions of
scudi at 4 per cent. interest and the price of 70.

RUSSIA.

•
The Trieste Gazette states that according to 'times
of the 25th of March. from Odessa warlike prepara-
tions are carried on with great zeal, so that all may
be in readiness to start towards the end of April.
The preparationii were hardly on such a grand scale
in 1812 ; they extend even to Great Russia, and
eight steamers are employed on the Wolga in con-
veying troops to Kertsch. Even old soldiers, who
have served 20 and 25 years, are again called under
arms.

that a short time biuce a person lost his life in the service
of the I'oet•otlice department. As the party had received
ertty a small salary, application was made to the head of the
department for wine gratuity to relieve the family of the
person from the destitution which the sit ath and expense of
burial occasioned. The Postmaster-Gcneral curtly replied
that he bad uu funds at :lis disposal for such a purpose ; yet
it appears that he cast find funds to pay 13,0001. a year out

Prisoner C'
my lord.
The proseentriz denied this.
Other evidence was given, from which it appeared that

night—Sunday night,

on the day in question-, the Prisoner went to the house with
three other women, and was heard to say, "If I once get
into the house, I will have her life, and tear her bit from
bit, and her bastards too." It was shown that after May
last the prieecutrir purchased things for her house in
Regent-street in her own name, and paid for them. One of
the women helped to carry away the property.
The Assistant4tige, in reply to Mr. O'Brien, said the
case must go to the jury as to whether or not it was an honest
claim of right.
Mr. O'Brien then addressed the jury. There was no sc-
ores', in the prisoner's removal of the property—it was not
done clandestinely. She acted in the full and honest belief
that she had a right to the property, as that of her lawful
husband; and throughout the case there were none of the
essential features of larceny. He appealed to the jury not
to lend themselves to the profligacy of the man Iredale and
the prosecutrix, which they would do if they found the pri-
soner guilty.
The Assistant-Judge left the case to the jury on the paint
as to the bona fide belief of the prisoner that the property
was her husband's. If she really entertained that beliet
she was not guilty, but if she went in a spirit of revenge and
intending to injure the preeeentrix, and so carried off the
things in malice, she was guilty. It was fur the jury to de-
cide this. If she went in the belief that the property was
her husband's, she had no right to take it away without
his consent.

The jury retired, and after a lengthy deliberation they
returned a verdict of AcquiUal.

SURREY SESSIONS.—YESTERDAY.
UNGRATEFUL ROBBERY.
John Cray West, 2'2, pleaded guilty to stealing a purse
containing 461., the property of Alfred Tamen, from his
dwelling-house, in Union-street, Southwark.
The prosecutor was a small tradesman, and the prisoner's
sister was his wife, and entirely through charity the prisoner
was allowed to live with them. Prosecutor had saved 461.,
which he deposited with his wife for security. In the early
part of March the prisoner suddenly decamped, having
broken open his sister's box and stolen the cash.
The prisoner having expressed his contrition, and the
prosecutor recommended him to mercy, the court sentenced
him to two months' hard lAbour at Wandsworth.

TUE KENSINGTON PIGGERIES.—The great evil
of the Potteries piggeries, writes Mr. Nixon, of 'Baden
Lodge, wu not brought Ware the justices of the parish
under the " Kensington Improvement Act," hut under the
Nuisances Removal Act, 11 an 12 Viet. c. 123. Under
this act the justices are empowered to give an order ter the
removal of the nuisance within two days and in ea..e of
failure on the part of those complained against, an order
upon the Improvement Commissionen to remove the pigs.
Both these orders were given, and by both patties have
been disobeyed. The Improvement Commissioners applied
last Tuesday to the bench for summonses against the pig-
keepers, which the justices 'greed to grant. These penal-
ties against defendants, as sued for, will be heard on Tues-
day next. My name is mentioned ; and I trust, therefore,
you will allow me to say that both myself and my brother
magistrates, " who all, and each, and every one. con-
curs in the amount of the nuisance, are ready and willing
to give any orders that we are entrusted with ; but we have
no authority to remove the pigs iastanter. The results rest

SUCIDE OF A GENTLEMAN.

Yesterday afternoon au inquest was held in St.
Bartholomew's Hospital, by Mr. Payne, on view of the
Icily of Mr. George Frank Stanley Smythe, aged 29 years,
who committed self-destructien, by taking a quantity of
essence of bitter almonds, at the Cathedral llo:el, St. Paul's-
churchyard, on Wedneediy. It appeared from the evidence
of the waiter that the dere med estered the coft.e-room
about 20 minutes past 4 o'clock on Wednesday, and wa,
supplied with half a-pint of sherry and a bi,cut, for which
he pad a few minutes afterwards. Ten miontis had
scarcely elapsed when the deceased fell on the Ilsor inero
sib!e; inevengeri wero dest atched in every direetim ut
quest of a medical man, but n ,ne were at home; in the
meantime a gentleman in the coffee-room having smelled
a tumbler that was on the table, eaclaimed—" He is a dead
man; he has taken prussic acid." A cab was then pro-
cured, and he was taken to the hospital. A bottle pro-
duced, labelled " Essence of bitter almonds," with the
address of Keating, St. Paul's-churchyard, was found on
the seat, under his umbrella. The evidence of Mr. Am-
brose Joseph Tapson, a medical gentleman, and Mr.
William Henry Smythe, brother of the deceased, went
to show that the mind of the deceased was af-
fected in I. lartisry and March last. Ile resort red
mud went to rend° in Paris fur a time, from which
place lie returned lately apparently qu:te recovered, and
transacted business with very great precision up to Tues-
day. The deceased was very shortly to have been married
but he had a morbid feeling that he was unworthy of the
young lady. A paper timed in the pocket-book of the
deceased had emse lines in pencil, bewailing his want of
men it. Mr. Newell, resident surgeon at St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, deposed that the dee...ased was brought to the in-
stitutien at a quarter past 6 o'clock ; he was insensible, and
lived about four minutes. Tried the usual remedies to
meta* animation, but without success. Was shown the
bottle produced, and had no doubt that if deceased had
taken the quantity it contained, it was sufficient to cause
death. Witness went with the phial to Mr. Keating, the
chemise, where he ascertained that the deceased purenased
the opium, under the pretence of requiring it to flavour
custard. Tnere were about 20 drops of the pure
essence, very much diluted, in the phial. The coroner
having inquired it the jury wished Mr. Keating to attend,
was answered in the nooitive. lle then summed up, and
the jury returned a verdict of •• Temporary insanity."

t.fleil his pocket+ of Ifte. Both the men then ran off, end
Kelly followed is the same direction u soon as hr could
rt c..ser himself, calling loudly tor the assistance of the
1.01.,e. The prisoner w. s stopped in Long..cre 14 Cork, a
constable of the division. in plain clothes, and Kelly imene-
rliate:y identified him as the nom who had nearly strangled
him. The officer desired the prisoner to accompany him
to the Baw-street st Won, but while on his way there the
letter stepped aside, 'track the constable two severe blows
with a stick upon his left eye nod ear, and ran off towards
Endell-street. Cork sprang his rattle, and the prisoner was
egein secured by the timely arrival of other officers.
The prisoner denied the prosecutor's story, and also the
charge of assaulting the police officer, although he consi-
dered the latter deserved punishment for treating him so
rouahly.
Mr. Jardine committed him for trial.

MARYLEBONE.

E'vnexer Allen, who, upon various occasions, has been
relieved by the parochial officers of St. Marylebone, was
charged with the following atrocious outrage upon Mr.
Robert Kirby, euperintendent-inspector of out-door poor in
the parish alluded to.
Mr. Kirby was evidently in great pain whilst giving hie
evidence ; the back part of his neck was seriously burnt ;
and his coat, waistcoat, and hat were so much damaged as
to render them entirely useless for further wear. He de-
posed that on the same afternoon, an he was passing from
Northumberland-street toward Paddington-street the pri-
soner, without saying a word, threw at him a small earthen-
ware jug, which bit him on the back of hie head. He im-
mediately seined the prisoner, but, from the pain he en-
' dured, was unable to keep rm boll of him, and he pro-
, ' bably would have made off, had not a cabman come up and
properly secured him. Crosball, one of the warrset officers
of the court, who happened to be near the spot, took him in
charge, and brought him at once before Mr. Long.
The magistrate, after Mr. Kirby had made his statement,
told him (Mr. Kirby) that he had better leave the court
directly and obtain proper medical aid.
Mr. John Thomas Brewer, &existent clerk to Mr. Messer,
the relieving °film. of the parish, stated that he was near
Mr. Kirby, and that he took possession of the earthen jug.
The cabman, when he laid bold of the prisoner, seked him
how and where he got the "stuff," and he said he bought
it at a chemist's shop. It has since been ascertained that
the liquid which was thrown over Mr. Kirby was oil of
vitriol.
The prisoner was remanded till Thursday neat.

SHARE LISTS.

FRIDAY ETINIWO.
The English railway market today was flat, with
a declining tendency, but, although the dealers
seemed to anticipate a rather " bullish" settling, the
business going forward is so trifling, that the decline
in prices is very unimportant. Great Westerns were
firmer, owing to the late " bear " account, and the
