A CURIOUS CASs was a few days ago submitted to
this Tribunal of CO fi4ctional Polite of Montpellier. A priest
ethos Comes of Montpellier was brought before it, on the
charge of wearing the ecclesiastical costume, though
bitsd by the bishop tr •us so doles for hieing committed
certain acts of fraud. The public prosecutor contended that
Use defendant bed, by wearing the costume a:ter the
rolunition, violated Article 259 of the Penal Code, which
forbids "the public wearing by any person ot any costume
to which he is not entitled. The priest, on till COI:It/WV,
maintained t .at as he had appealed to the archbishop
against the b 'lsn't; sentence, be was warranted in wearing

BERLIN, Manes 23.
The conference which Count Alvensleben has been sum-
moned from Deesden to attend will probably be led OD
the consideration of an entirely new plan for the organ-
isation of the central executive authority which has
arrived from Vienna within the last week. Prince
Schwarrenberg, after apparently conceding a kind of sham
parity in the executive to Prosaia—after accepting a dif-
ferent distribution of the votes in that body, a distribution
apparently favourable to Prussia—after disitissing with the
Pension government various details of such an organise-
lion—after receiving from this government the assurance
, that the admission of the whole of the Austrian provinces
into the confederation will nut he opposed—after having
discussed and apparently settled with this government the
I manner in which the opposition of France sod England to
I this latter measure shall be evaded—tho Austrian Prime
Minister reverts again to the general question of the organi-
sation, and proposes an entirely new distribution of votes in
the executive. My informant claims to be precise on this
point. I am told that the plan proposed is to substitute a
system of seven votes in the executive—the Engere Roth—
instead of the nine, eleven, and seventeen votes which
have at different times been under consideration. Of these
seven votes Austria to poser 2 ; Prussia, 2 ; Bavaria, 1 ;
the other three kingdoms together, 1 ; and the minor states
1 altogether. The must remarkable circumstances attending
this new proposition are the fertility of invention of the Vi-
enna cabinet and the facility with which the Berlin cabinet
recedes from old plans, and receives and considers new ones,
without ever attempting firmly to uphold one of the many
to which its sanction boa been given.
nom a report presented to the First Chamber, it appears
that the state has guaranteed interest varying from 3 to 6
per rent. on capital invested in railways to the amount of
37,150,000 thalers. During the past year 11,373;263 thalcrs
have been spent by the government in assisting the con-
struction of railways.

MARK-LANK-THIS DAY.

At most of the country markets held this week the value
of Wheat has advanced Is. per qr., and altogether the trade
wears a firmer appearance.
Jo Mark-lane there was very little English Wheat on
sale ; the few parcels which appeared were placed at fully
Monday's quotations.
Foreign Wheat meets a steady retail demand, and its
value is well maintained.

Barley and Oata were in short supply, and sold on quite
as good terms as at tho begimting of the week.
Beans and Peas unchanged.
The wet weather tends to cheek the demand for Clover-
seed, but quotations underwent no alteration.

FRANCE.

PARIS, TVII*DLT EVVCINO.
There is do doubt of a note having been addressed
the Spanish government, which has been prompted
I,y the influence of Narvacz at the Elysee. The final
part of this note, I hear, complains thit, while France,
kills au ambassador at Madrid, the court of Spain'
has cut down the diplomatic representative at
Paria to a plenipotentiary minister. The second
part %Asents that the withdrawal of the Duke of
Sototrusvor uvula be productive of a bad effect. Thus
Louis Napoleou has been induced by the Duke of
Vulerwia to take up the cause of a dianiistied audios-
;sailor, the tool of Narvuct, against the government of
huts Ila.
The Mountain have ...ppointed a committee, con-
sisting of Lamennais and others, to watch the pro-
gress of Spanish affairs.

Everybody knows that the constitution vests in
the Assembly the sovereign decision of war and
peace. An apt occasion was given yesterday for the
exercise of this lower. The Assembly. was called
upon to approve or to condemn the projected expe-
dition against the Kabyle tribes in a group of moun-
tains between Boughs and l'hilippecille. Lamoriciere
said, •• Let us approve the expeclition, but restrict it
within such limits as will certainly prevent a ruinous
war." Jules de Lasteyrie, on the other hand,
advised the Assemble to reserve its opinion on the 1,
expedition, and let the government undertake it on its!
own peril and responsibility. The latter recom-
mendation was adopted; but the course followed by
the Assemble was a oor-spirited abdication of its'
prerogative, -bestowed for the expnws purpose of
nipping such 1114:11SW144 in the bud, or giving them
at once the proper stamp of vigour and authority.
It washes its hands of a business in which the con-1
stitution volts on it to take the directing part, and,
hes in mean ambush for the failure, to have a handle
of attack upon the executive power. For the rest, I
the Assembly's conduct yesterday is the exact inverse
of the princwle on which it pronounced indispcnsa- I
Mc • law adjourning the election of the national
rd. On t t occasion it meddled, to make a
gshouaw of its authority, where it was not wanted; on I
the present it remains passive where the duty of
action has been deferred to it by, the constitution.
To-day the Assembly agreed to take into con-
sideration the motion of M. Peupin relative to
patents. M. l'eupin, formerly a workman and
watchmaker, now a secretary of the Assembly, has
brought forward this motion to facilitate the public
acquisition of new inventions. liis motion proposes
that the property of the patent may be acquired to
the public by a law five years after its concession.
The second part of M. Peupin's plan is to grant
patents for a term of twenty-five years, with an an-
nual tax of '2ofr. The Assembly then paired to the
motion of M. de Bassieres on the competence of the'

CLERKENWELL.
Mr. John Plummer, proprietor of a cotton manufactory in
Cubert-court, Golden-lane, St. Luke's, appeared to a sum-
mons under the 13th and 14th Victoria, chap. St, at the
instance of Mr. Redgrave, Sub-Inspector of factories, for
offending against the act relating to labour in factories, by
employing Charles Matthews, a young person under the
age o(18 years, after the hour of seven o'clock on the even-
ing of the 13th day of March.
Mr. Redgrave gave evidence to prove that he visited the
defendant's manufactory at half-past seven o'clock in the
evening of the 13th day of March, and fouud the boy
Matthews at work the rule of law W 341 for them to leave
off work at seven o'clock. The defendant had once before
infringed this rule with some girls in his employ.
Defendant admitted the fact that the boy had worked to
the time described, but it was in consequence of one of his
tenants taking in a large quantity of coals on that day.
Charles Matthews, the boy, confirmed the evidence of
Mr. Redgrave. He generally worked from 7in the morn-
ing until 7 in the evening.
Mr. Combo remarked that there ought to be some rule or
system adopted, so that the boys and girls employed in th•
manufactory should leave off work at 7 o'clock in the even-
ing. The government had been at great expense, and there
were various reasons why the act of parliament had been
passed. The penalty was 3/., or not less than 11. Under
the circumstances, be would inflict the mitigated penalty of
20s. and coats, which the defendant instantly paid and left
the court.

SPAIN.

MADRID, SEPT.
M. Manuel Sanchez (kana is deputed to draw up
the portion of the bill which relates to the settlement
of the home debt.
The recruiting operations are over in most part of
the provinces; they have been conducted with much
regularity and uniformity.
According to news (manifestly of little reliability)
from the llavannah, circulating here, as many as
ninety-two pirates have now been shot. Lopez has
been taken prisoner and executed immediately-, and
the rest of the expedition were surrounded by the
Spanish troops and completely annihilated.
That which constitutes the greatest strength of
the Spanish authorities in ('alma is that they have re-
ceived spontaneous otters of assistance from Cubans,
Europeans, and Creoles, and even from free men of
colour. There is not in this respect the least dis-
tinction between European Spaniards and American
Spaniards. " Union, firmness, and the mouths of our
cannons (exclaims the Papu'ar), will make us in
future one of the nations the most respected by the
inhabitants of America."

A Cadiz journal states that the two war transports
Cecilia and Marigalentc, arc under orders for Puerto-
Rico, with a reinforcement of troops.

ITALY.
PIEDNIONT.

The minister of marine, agriculture, and com-
merce, at Turin, has ismed a notification, dated the
11th, informing the public that by Art. 7 of the
treaty of commerce and navigation, concluded with
the holy see iu 1849, the coasting trade of the ponti-
fical Mutes is exclusively reserved to subjects of that
country ; while, on the other hand, the coasting
trade along the l'icilmonteso coast is limited to Sar-
dinian bottoms. That, consequently, Picdmoutese
subjects are warned not to infringe that article,
whatever indulgence may have been hitherto prac-
tised; it being well understood, however, that Pied-
' montese vessels may engage in the said traffic upon
payment of 12 buioccbi (60c.) per ton to the pontifical
government.

BIGAMY.

William Matthew, 41,;:siliieted for bigamy.
Sophia peeves di posed that the prisoner was married to
her soder, Anne Loess Reeves, at Chichester, at the sub-
deanery parish church on the 3rd June, 1311. The sister
had between 2001. and 300/. when the prisoner married her,
and they went to London and took a public-house. About
two years afterward. her slater came home in a road wag-
gon, and when she bad paid her fare she had only sixpence
left. Her sister was always of weak mind, and 6110 was
subsequently removed by the parish authorities to Bethnal
Urern Lunatic Asylum, where she was at the present time.
By Mr. l'arnell—The parish had to support her sister at
Chichester fur some time, and they had instituted the pre-
sent prosecution. The prisoner did not contribute in any
vray wards the support of his wife after she left him.
Maryto Young, the sewed wife, deposed that she became
acquainted with the pri-once while she was in service in
Portland-o.sec, and sit: was married to him on the- 3rd of
February, 1819. She was aware that he had been mar-
ried, but he showed her a letter stating that his wife was
dead, and when ahl) married him she baieved that he waa
widower.

By Mr. Parnell—Me pri-oner was engaged as a waiter
and interpreter at the Exbihition. lie came home one day
the worse for liquor, and tie), had a quarrel, and he struck
her, and she then went to Chichester to make inquiries
about his wife, and this Led to the present prosecution.
Mr. Parnell, at the rinse of the case, submitted that there
was a material variance between the evidence with regard
to the name of the parish where the Ant marriage was
solemnised, and the indictment, the letter describing it as
the pariah of St. Peter the Great, otherwise sub-deanery,
whereas, according to the e.i.lcoce, the parish was known
by the name of Sub-thauere
The Recorder said he did not think there was much
weight in the objection, but perhaps it would be the safer
muse for him to avail himself of the power given to the
court by a reeent statute to amend the description of the
parish, and he accordingly directed the words "St. Peter
the Great, otherwise" to be struck out.
hire Psrnell then addressed the jun' for the prisoner,
mil kluged on his behalf the probability that he really
Wined that his wife was dead at the time he contracted
monad marriage.
The found the prisoner Guilty, and !towns sentenced

GERMANY.

The only news of any importance contained in the
German pipers is that the cabinet of St. Petersburg
has address..d a nob: to the cabinet of Vienna,
strongly objecting to the entrance of the whole
Austrian monarchy into the Band. without the con-
sent of all the parties to the treaty of 1815. The Ger-
man papers are mach occupied in criticising in various
senses, the project of a German national parliament.
The four kingdoms, it is said, arc about to publish a
sirsksehrift,memorial)on the subject, which is to conic
from the pen of the Saxon minister, M. licust. M
Henkel, the former burgomaster of Cassel, has been
condemned by the military tribunal to one year and
eleven months' imprisonment. This Hessian patriot
wu treated by the tribunal as a common soldier,
being kept standing before it from 9 o'clock in
the morning till nearly four o'clock in the
afternoon. A letter from Hamburg states.
that it is there reported that Austria and
Prussia have determined to make Rendsburg a
federal fortress, and that consequently it will be
shortly evacuated by the Danes. A protest has been
issued by the Danish, Holstein, and Lauenburg
plenipotentiaries at Dresden, against " decisions by
et4erity".in the now organisation of the Diet.

MALTA, MARCI 14.
At a meeting of the council of government, on
Wedne.-day, a proposition was made, calculated, I
fear, to do an immensity of injury to the island, not
only as regards our commerce at home, but also that
of Sicily and the Coast of Africa. It is to impose a
tonnage duty of :hi. on the steam-ships arriving in
port with a freight for the island. Now, for
one example, the Peninsular boats of 1.210
tons arrive Imre, with perhaps an average portion of
6 tons merchandise, bearing an aggregate freight of
291. The third tonnage due on 1,200 tons would be
131.; the company would not therefore ship goods
for Malta against such loss.
If a steamer should be established to ply between
this place and Tunis, she would probably make three
voyages a month. It is needless to point out the hard-
ship of thrice paying a tonnage due, and it is really
to be feared the advantage of a steam communication
with Tunis and the African coast, so near of accom-
