A JCVEVILE HORSE STEALER.

A quiet and modest-looking little girl, named
Sarah Marshall was charged at the New Bailey Court-
house, Salford, yesterday morning, with stealing a grey
, mare belonging to Mr. Will am Murray, at Cheettauss-hill,
near Marchester. The girl is only thirteen years old, and
looks seen youcger, so that psoplo seeing her in the dock
were inclined to treat the ahem. with contempt, but the
statement of the police that it was the third offence gave
quite a different complexion to the ins tter.
beanie' Knott, a carter, said he met *he prisoner on the
previous night, about eight o'clock, loaduit the mare along
alone 100 yards from the field in which it hats been left, and
asked her what she was going to do with it ? Dt. said she
was taking it home, and that it was, her father's horse, who
had bought it six weeks before. Witness knew it was Mr.
Murray's property, and took her and the mars to Mr. Mar-
ray's house, and she was given into custody.
Mr. Murray being sworn, said ho took the horse to pos-
ture at three o'clock on Wednesday, and remained in the
sea repairing lamas until five, when So left the animal
safe.

Mr. Trafford (the magistrate)—Prisoner, you have been
charged with two previous offences, and for the last offence
you were imprisoned seven days. You mast sow be more
severely punished. Have you anything to say ?
Prisoner—l did not steal him from the field ; I found him
in the road.

The magistrate asked her if she had any friends present,
and her father, a man about 10 years of age, who is uid
to go about with • horse and cut retailing coals, stepped
into the within bee.
_ _

Mr. Traff,rd—This girl of yours is bore again ?
Father—Yes.
Mr. Trafford—Whore has she been since she came out of
Prison'

•
lortier She was at home until tbte day week.
Mr. Tratfo.il—She is a very bad girl.
Father—She is.
Mr. frafforit—Well, could you do nothing to puma
th.s—hare you been kind to her at home ?
Pother—Ye•, I have been kind to her, but she will not
Kay at home.
Mr. Trafford—Does she do nothing but steal horses?
Father—Not that I know of.
Mr. Trafford—Win.re does she live when she's from
home ? I think I have heard she pus to an aunt.
Father—She does not stay long with the aunt, Wimps
in entries and outhouses.
Mr. Trafford—ls there any reason to suppose that she le
put up to these offences by ethers, or induced to commit
them

ather—No, sir, 1 should think not; have no reason
to suppose so.
The prisoner was committed to prison, with hard labour,
for three months. It was stated that when the prisoner
stole a horse before, she sold it for 12s. (though worth about
) to a half-witted fellow who vends coals.

ROMAN STA TES.
Oar Roman correspondent, w. riling on the 10th
Sept., states that on account of the difficulty of get-
ting sufficient evidence against then upposed political
conspirators, their trial by consults to bunal had been
suspended and an inquisitorial commies ion named to
examine the affair. Many arrests hare taken place
in the provinces. The guillotine was re. established
in Rome on the morning of the 10th. The decapita-
tion of two men caused a panic among th e crowd.
The Pope was coldly received at the Wear. d of the

SHOCKING CASE OF MATRICIDE IN SOUTH

BISHOP AUCKLAND, MAMIE 16.

. •
Mr. Trotter, coroner, held an Inquiet at a place
named Bettarwick, to the western put of this county, yea-
terday, on the body daft old woman aged 90, wife of Abra-
ham well, who was araelly:merdered by her eon Aber
ham, 40 years of age, on the morning of the previous day.
It appeen that the old people lived in • cottage in the
hamlet, and that their son, who is • married man, but
paned from his wife, lived with them at the time of
the murder. Nothing particular was observed in
his conduct until last Friday eight, when he ap-
peared to wander in his mind. Father and son
slept In one bed, sad the old woman slept in ano-
ther bed in the sue roam. Early in the morning of Mon-
day the see got out of bed, and, without taking time to
dread himself, mad* a savage attack upon his aged mother
with a poker, sad beat her to death. The old man inter-
fered, and be wee abo severely beat. The poor maniac,

rapped at the door, but was refused admission, sad them=
albs house looking out, and seeing him is a usanisesl
stabs of excitement, ran after him with a gars, and be was
expand without doing further Wary. The old sum Is

man wee beaten in a most fearful meaner. The jury
returned • verdict of wilful =order. The poor creature
has been safely removed to a place of confinement.

COLONIAL POSTAGE.

Lord STANLEY begged to ask the Under Secretary of
State for the Colonies at what time the reduction in rates
of colonial postage, announced by the Postmaater-Oenoral,
may be expected to come into operation?
Mr. PEEL acid be was afraid that some eon‘iderable tinye
must elapse, before the plan proposed by the Postmute
General came into operation. That plan was,that them should
be a uniform rate of postage of 6d. for every half ounce on all
letters passing to or from this country and the colonies, and
of that one penny should be allotted as the share of the
colony. Now, a penny did not represent the amount levied
on letters in the colonies. In the Australian colonies rat•
varying from 2d. to 10d. were levied on letters on their
arrival at a port, and if sent inland there was a further in-
ternal rate levied. The Postmaster General at home had
no power now to reduce the sum paid on letters in the
colonies to a uniform rate of one penny. Formerly he had
the power to establish Post-offices in the colonies, and with
the concurrence of the Treasury to fix the rate of postage ;
bat in 1619 an act was paned enabling the colonial legia.
latures to fix the rates, and a great majority of the colonies
had exercised the right. It was the cage in all the North
American colonies, except Newfoundland, and in all the
West India Islands except Trinidad. At tho Cape and in

TURKEY.

Telegraphic messages, received by way of Vienna,
announce the arrival of the Czar's envoy, Admiral
Prince Menaikoff, at Constantinople on the 28th ult.,
with a numerous suite. It was rumoured in the
Turkish capital, that Fuad Effendi, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, was about to resign his poet.
A contemporary publishes telegraphic despatches
on this subject, dated Constantinople, March 6, in
which it is lurther said, that on the 2d of March the
Muscovite proceeded direct to the Sultan, and ab-
stained from paying the Minister of Foreign Affairs
the customary• visit. On the next day Fuad Effendi
placed his resignation in the hands of the Sultan,
who accepted it, atter a delay of three dap, and
appointed Itifaat Pasha his successor.
On the demand of the Grand Visier, the Charge
d'Affaires of England had sent despatches to Achui-

rat Dundee, commanding the fleet in the Mediter-
ranean, at present at Multa, begging him to come,
with all convenient speed, and to anchor in the
Archipelago.
The last accounts from Moldavia state that the
reigning Prince had left Jassy, and that a Govern-
ment Council had been formed there.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE
AND AUSTRALIA.

We add the following to our abstract of news re-
ceived by the Sydney in our paper of yesterday :
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
The latest date from the frontier is Feb. 1. The
Governor was at King William's Town, actively en-
gaged, it was reported, in considering the terms of
peace which should be required of the Kaffirs. The
war was thought to be at an cud, but the country
was very unsettled, and the sullen submission of the
natives augurs but ill for a prospect of permanent
tranquillity. It will be long probably before any of
the troops can be withdrawn from the colony with
safety—if, indeed, the time should ever arrive. We
take the following particulars from the SutithAfrican
C:mittiercial Advertiser of Feb. 5

The Sydney takes intelligence from the Cape only ten
days later than the Indiana. In the interval small parties
of marauders have shown themselves on the borders and
within some of the frontier districts, who have been ac-
tively pursued by the burghers and mounted police, and
generally with success. Some ten or twelve rebel Rotten-
tons had surrendered at or near Whittlesea, but nothing
certain is known of the Hottentot leader, Brander, or of
the Ksflir chiefs, Sandilli,aud Macomo. There was a re-
port that some arrangement was in prestress with these
Gaika chiefs, on the condition of their retiring beyond the
Kei, a considerable number of their people having been
permitted to mingle with the friendly tribes in lower Kaf-
&laud. and hit Excellency's expression in a general order
of the 26th of January, that " this arduous contest (is) now
happily brought to an sod," gives some colour to it.

Captain J. Bowen, arrived at Southampton yesterday morn-

The Minister of Finance, K. Fontes, had laid before the
deputies a bill to authorise the government to pu: down
the monopoly of tobacco mad soap, and to allow thu growth
of tobacco at Madeira e.nd other Portuguese islands; the
measure to be carried by agreement with the present
contractors, and without any indemnification. The an-
swer of the House of Deputies to the Q11121:1101% Speech
had been carried almost unanimously, and in conse-
quence of its being ascertained that many Peers had re-
solved upon opposition to the approval of the dictatorial
laws, a hatch of 20 new members had been creatcd, many
of whom had taken their seats. The upper house was still
engaged in the debate upon the reply to the throne. The
special committee of deputies had reported in favour of
the approval of all the dictatorial decrees since the Said.
ache insurrection of Ilia. Her Majesty's steamer Inflexible
was at anchor in the Tagus. Her Majesty's steam frigate
Furious, and steam vessel Antelope, were at Gibraltar on
the Bth inst.

IRELAND.

DCILIN,

MARCIE 17.

Lord Massereene is not alone among the protestant
noblemen and gentry of Ireland who have rejected
the invitation or the clique that have been endea-
vouring to get up a new Conservative Society in this
country. Several whose names are not before the
public have adopted the same sensible course, and in
the Mail of last night we find the letter of " •
deputy lieutenant of a midland county," assigning
his reasons for refusing to join the new factious
movement. He expresses utter distrust in the prin-
ciples of conservative statesmen, and says:
It seems, then, that conservative principles having been
practically abandoned by those whom we did regard as our
political leaders, and between whose policy, when in office,
and that of the present government there is apparently but
little practical difference, I cannot see the object of is o-
elating in support of nominal conservatism, and must there-
fore decline to join your society.

NORWICH ELECTION PETITION INQUIRY.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE brought up the report of the com-
mittee appointed to inquire into the circuinstencee attend-
ing the withdrawal of the Norwich election petition. The
substance of the report was, that though Mr. Kitten, the
solicitor to the petitioner, denied that he had given positive
instructions to Mr. Brown, the agent, to withdraw the peti-
tion against the sitting members, he admitted that there
were terms on which he thought his client anal himself
might have been induced to withdraw the petition by way
of compromise. Under these circumstances the committee
lett it to the house to decide whether it bad the power to
comply with the prayer of the petition upon which the
committee had been appointed. They further reported
that they did not consider Mr. Brown in withdrawing the
petition was actuated by any corrupt or unworthy motive,

and to advance the strong political feelings he was said to

MUTINY ON BOARD TUE ALBATROSS.—Amounts
by private letter have reached the city (Cork) of a very
serious mutiny which broke out on board this vessel on
her voyage to Australia. The crew had almost one and all
refused to aid in the working of the ship, in consequence
of the captain having punished the insolence of one of
the men, who struck him, by putting him in irons. The
captain, was seconded by the passengers, and was
able to prevent the dangerous consequences which, bad they
been leareeolute, might have arisen from these acts of in-
subordination. With their aid the captain succeeded in
working the ship for • couple of days, when the crew,
finding their outrageous conduct injurious only to them-
, selves, returned to their duty. The voyage had been ex-
tremely tedious, the ship having met with frequent calms.
The captain's wife, one sailor, and two infants, had died;
but, with these exceptions, the general health of the passen-
gers andaew was good.—Cork Examiner.

GERMANY.

A Berlin letter, of the 7th, states that the Prus-
siangovernment had resolved to re-open the Zoll-
verein conferences, which had been broken off
through the separated spirit of the southern states.
With this view, it would address direct invitations to
Hanover, Brunswick, and the Thuringian states,
which had remained faithful to the Prussian alliance,
and inform the other Zollverein states of its resolu-
tion in the ordinary way, leaving it to the discretion
of each government to send, or not send, delegates.
The Attorney-General of the Elector of Hesse has
on hand, at this moment, a prosecution for high
treason, in which there are '")1:/0 defendants. All the
accused belong to the town of Hansa, the corporation
of which was lately arraigned en-bloc.
A Vienna journal states that in commemoration
of the happy escape of the Emperor from assassina-
tion, the National Austrian Bank has placed 20,000
florins at the disposal of the Ministers of the Interior
and War for charitable purposes. Oa the same oc-
I easion the Archbishop of &lan (in Hungary) gave
5,000 florins, the interest of which is to be employed
in the education of an orphan daughter of an officer
who has fought to uphold the supremacy of Austria
in Italy or in Hungary in a Hungarian regiment.

SENTENCE OF CIERVINUS.
There is reason to believe that, when the ordinary
despatches arrive from Mannheim, it will appear that the
period of imprisonment to which Glervinns has been sen-
tenced is two months. Considerable contusion appears to
have been introduced into the telegraphic despatch in the
mares of its passage from line to line and from tongue
to tongue. The Di'bois of yesterday printed " ten months"
in its despatch, probably a substitution of dix for deux, as
the public prosecutor only demanded a sentence of four
months' imprisonment. well knowing that had he asked
more the accused could have clsimei to be tried by a jury.
An appeal lies from the court at Mannheim.

SPAIN.

In the Spanish Senate, on the 3rd, just as the
drawing for the sections was about to take place,
Oeneral O'Donnell rose to demand that a communi-
cation should be read which had been handed to the
president from Marshal Names, in which, after
complaining of the conduct of the government in
preventing his taking his seat in the senate, he de-
manded that an inquiry should be made into his
conduct, he having a right to be tried by his peers.
The president objected to this course, which, he
said, was contrary to the regulations ; but it was
overruled, and with the consent of the Minister of
War, who was the only member of the cabinet pre-
seat, the communication was read. The question
was then started, whether tho senate should or
should not take the communication into considera-
tion, and after some discussion the matter was ad-
journed to the following day. A communication by
express of tie sth states that the proposition for
taking the communication into consideration was
opposed by the ministry on that day, and after sonic
warm discussion rejected.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL

Yesterday a court was held for the despatch of
public business. Alderman Hunter eat as locum [cues for
the Lord Mayor.
DISASILITIPS OP 2111 JIRO.
Mr. ANDtItTON moved " that this court do petition both
bows" of parliament to abolish the oath required to be
taken by persons appointed to public office, commonly called
the u.itn of abjuration, and thereby remove the disabilities
of the Jews (ruin sitting in parliament."
Mr. GILIIPUT se,..inucd the :notion, which was carried
amidst acclamation'.
Mr. ANDZILToN then read and proposed the petition to
parliament, which was immediately adopted.
Upon the motion of Mr. Deputy HARRISON, seconded by
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR, the Fleet alley Improvement Com-
mittee wee dissolved, and the documeats, maps, dm., which
had bees referred, were ordered to be delivered to the Im-
provement Committee.
A division took place upon the peoposition to substitute
the word " delivered" .for "transferred." After a eon-
sidersh:.: discussion, the majority loudly declared their pre-
! f the former.

BrinLIAIM 1106PITAL.
Mr. GiLrue moved •• That this court do appoint a com•
mitten to make a searching inquiry into the present and
I,i...zit management of Ikthlehem H upital, with especial
reference to the treatment a patients in that hospital, and
that they he directed to report b this court the revolt of
their investigation."
Mr. ABItAItAMA seconded the motion.
Mr. Guionah and Mr. ANDIKTuN opposed the motion,
on the ground that no advantage could arise from its sue-
r:en, and that the court had no power to procure the infor-
mation desired.
Mr. Ott.rtx thereupon withdrew his motion.

&r.,—Now that " protection' is defunct, tho
leaders of the movement must be sadly in want of an " ob-
ject,' .1 will therefore recommend them to a work, much
niereseal than their former occupation—thn bettering the
'satiation of thn " farm labourer." Ca. they wonder at
orient. or the moral degradation of such a clasp, when I tind
that a fattier of a family of five only gets sic shillings per
week,snd the two boys cape.iile of work tkreepace•halfpenny

scarcely ever see meat or heron, living entirely upon dry
bread and " tea water." This is in the ariatoeratie and
clerical county of Dorset ; aad I understand that in Devon,
near to Tiverton, whole families live for months open Iran
and Swedish turnips hushed together. This in " mer vie
England." Serfs still of the soil, they are bout. d

I claim, now, the attention of a Christian legislature to this

THE ROBBERY OF OLLIVANT'S SHOP AT

NiANCIIESTEB.

We described in the Erpreta of yesterday the
robbery of Mr. 011ivant's slop, in Exchange-street, Man-
cheater, when jewellery was carried off valued at upwards
of 2,0001. Information of the robbery reached Mr. Bits-
wick, chief superintendent of the detective police, by a little
before 8 o'clock, and by 9 o'clock on the 11:1113C (Wednesday)
morning, Inspector Buckley, one of Mr. Bcswick's detec-
tives, was on the burglar's (or at lout the principal bur-
glar's) track. Mr. Ben wick discovered that a man whom
he suspected had taken a cab at the Ardwick-green stand
early in morieLtaingtlrady gonet.rain inat
itiliaTi.dpiureteriioannzfw
went after
him. He found on reaching Guide-bridge station that a man
named John Maxwell, answering the description of the
man of whom he was in search, had come from Gorton to
Guide Bridge by nil, and had there lett for lijde.
Taking with him Mktlen' a Cheshire policeman, Beckley
proceeded to Hyde, and traced Maxwell to the house of
James Stronnach, his brother-in-law, in Lewis-street. He
found Maxwell in bed, and asked for the key of a box in
the room, which Maxwell said was left at his own house in
Manchester. Buckley broke open the box, and found
in it a quantity of gold coin and other articles,
forming the less valuable portion of the property
stolen. Another box was then broken open, which
Stronnach said belonged to him, and there the gold
watches and nearly the whole of the remaining property
were discovered. It is a singular fact, that within twenty
minutes of the time of Buckley's arrival, Superintendents
Sawley and Saynor, of the Manchester preventive force,
arrived at Stronnach'e house, basing also traced the burglar,
but on separate information. The burglar was then taken
into custody, and conveyed, with his sister and brother-in-
law, to Manchester. The officers were loudly cheered as
they passed through the streets in Manchester with their
prisoner.
Yesterday morning, John Maxwell, the burglar, and
James Stronnach and Lucy Stronnach, his brother-in-law
and sister, were brought before the borough magistrates for
examination.
Maxwell and his sister were remanded, and Stronnach,
the sister's husband, was discharged.
. A plate cleaner, in the employment of Mean. 011ivant,
was apprehended yesterday afternoon, on suspicion of
having been concerned In the robbery.
