of the steamer.

A marked improvement had taken place in the

cidedly more active.
Transactions in stocks had taken place to some ex-
tent at firm prices.

the market for bread stuffs very unsteady. Prices
were inclined to recede, and very few transactions
can be reported. Indian corn, round yellow, was
steady, at 84c. to 86c. per bushel. Indian meal
fetched 3 dole. 75e. to 3 dole. 87;e. per barrel.
The cotton market at New York was very inactive,
and prices were feebly maintained ; no actual de-
cline can be reported. The following are the quo-
tations :—New Orleans and Mobile,mid to faix, 121 c.
to 13c. per lb. ; Uplands, mid fair to fair, 12c. to
12!c. The crop accounts are of a very unfavourable
character.

The business transacted in the provision market
had been small, but prices had not undergone any
change.
Freights were unchanged at the steamer's de-
parture, the asking rates being :—Flour to Liver-
pool, 3s. to 3s. 3d. per barrel; grain, 9d. to 91d. per
bushel; cotton, Id. to 5-16 d. per lb.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF A CONTICT.—William
Allday, of Birmingham, who had been convieeed of uttering
a forged promissory note, was sentenced to seven years'
transportation. After the prisoner had beea sentenced on
Monday he was removed to the tells underneath the Shire-
hail, when be was subsequently found with a wound in his
throat, and a great quantity of blood flowing from it. At
first it was supposed that the prisoner had inflicted the
wound with a large gold breast pin which be wore, but on
a more minute search being made a small white-handled
penknife was discovered thrust into his loaf of bread, and
with which, no doubt, he committed the act. Two or three
surgeons were immediately in attendance, when Mr. Wogan
reported to the governor that he did not anticipate say
fatal consequences from the wound. Wolverhampton
Chronicle.

CHICHESTER PALLANT.—Chichester, I need not
say, is of Roman foundation, and has several marks of its
Roman origin ; the little stream thst rune through it
is called the Levant, evidently from latando. The Patient,
the thief quarter of the tows, tad, of old, a separate juris-
diction, was called " Felonious sive Paleata." " Palantia,
Pa/atinatits," says Barrage, juriedictio ejas qui habet
jus litee deerdendi supremo jure." The Paint of Chi-
chester is not to be confounded with the Bishop's Palace.
It ie in a different district, and was, no doubt, from
Reiman time, a separate palatine jurisdiction.—Hots and

SPAIN.

The Clamber of Deputies was definitively eon- I
stituted on the 18th. The ministerial candidates
for the vies-presidencies were rejected, and MM.
Feijao, Augustin Esteban Collantes, the Duke
d'Albe, and Ed. San Roman were chosen. The Pre-
sident and the deputies then took the usual oath, and
the president afterwArds &dared the Chamber to
be duly constituted, and delivered &speech, thanking
the members for his electioe, and protesting his de-
votedness to the throne and to the national institu-
tions. According to a statement in the Gazette, the
amount of the floating debt, which on the Ist of Fe-
bruary was only 269,697,145 reals (67,424,287 fr.),
had risen on the let inst. to 296,473,166 reale. In
the sitting of the senate on the 18th, the discussion
on the report of the committee on the question of
Marshal Narvaez was commenced. General Sanz
said that there was great analogy between the situ-
ation of the Duke de Valencia and that of Generals
Serrano and Pavia some years ago, when the
Senate either directly or indirectly approved of the
conduct of the government with regard to these offi-
cers. M. Arrazola, who replied to General Sanz in
the name of the majority of the committee, spoke of
the independence of the public powers, and of the re-
gulating power of the Senate in cases of conflict be-
tween them. The Senate, he said, had the same
origin as the government, and had a character of
stability and permanence which was wanting to a
I ministry. He brought forward as a precedent the
bill presented by M. Pacheco, when President of the
Council of Ministers, which put in harmony the
power which the government enjoyed of disposing
of military senators with the privilege of senators,
and the independence of that body. The discussion
was then adjourned to the 21st.

THE'RELEASE OF THE MADIAL

In the House of Commons last night—as will be
seen by our report—it was announced by Lord John
Russell that the Madiai, whose imprisonment for
reading the Bible has excited so wide an interest in
the protestant world, have been released. This re-
sult may be said to be entirely due to the spirited
exertions of the friends of religious liberty in this
,country, where alone the Buff. rings of the Medial
gained anything like that practical sympathy which
does not content itself with mere words, but makes
'exertion for the relief of those whom it regards as
suffering from oppression. The exact terms of Lord
John Russell's explanation on this subject are worth
repetition. Speaking of the conduct of the Austrians
in Lombardy he stated:
"'The government had received information that
the Grand ])uke of Tuscany had liberated the
Madiai—(loud cheers)—and that they had embarked
at Leghorn and left Tuscany."

itALDO:I ELECTION COMMITTEE.

Lord IL GROSVENOR appeared at the bar and in-
formed the house that the committee appointed to deter-
mine the petition complaining of an undue return for the
borough of Maldon had agreed to a report, of which the
following is the substance :—that Charles Du Cane, Esq.
and T. J. Miller, Esq. were not duly elected at the last elec-
tion as burgesses to serve in parliament for the borough in
question, and that the last election for Maldon was a void
election; that both Messrs. Du Cane and Miller had been
guilty of bribery and treating by their agents; but it was
not proved, to the satisfaction of the committee, that such
I bribery and treating took place with the knowledge and
consent of the candidates. That it was proved that one
v titer was bribed by a payment of 51., another by a pay-
ment of 21, and two others by payments of It. each, and
that there was reason to believe that corrupt practices
had prevailed extensively at elections for the said borough.
The rep,irt having been brought up, and the minutes of

early ea possible after the recess, that no new writ do jostle

Sir DE LACY EVANS—On civil service estim►tes to
draw attention to the practice of palling more than one

His Imperial Rayal Apostolic Majesty has deigned to
communicate to his imperial highness the archduke, mili-
tary and civil governor of Hungary, that the war steamer
Albrecht is now on htr voyage from Orscbova to Buds, hav-
ing the Hungarian crown insignia on board, which, by the
providential help of God, have been found. This vessel is
to be received on her arrival at Buda with the greatest so-
lemnity, and the insignia are to he exposed to the public
view iu the palace chapel until further orders.
The public were at the same time informed that
the arrival of the Albrecht would take place oa the
15th instant at nine a.m. ; and with reference to the
solemnities spoken of further orders will be issued. It
is dated Buda, Sept. 10, 1853, from the imperial
royal military and civil government of Hungary.

DARING ROBBERY.—On Friday evo••ing last a
robbery was committed between 8 and 9 o'clack near the
Lammas-bridge, leading into the meadows in Stamford. It
appear. tkat a gentleman of the name of Williams, from
Norwich, who is on a visit at this town, was crossing the
meadows over the footpath, and when about the centre he
was rudely pushed against by a woman. He did not at the
time take any notice of the circumstance, conceiving it might
be accidental, but on reaching the bridge, and when close to
a gas lamp, Mr. W. was seized iron bellied by a woman and
completely pinioned, and before he had a chance of extri-
cating himself he was pounced upon by a man, who violently
thrust one of his hands to Mr. W.'s throat to prevent him
giving au alarm, and then robbed him of a small gold hunt-
ing watch (maker's name " James Mann, Norwich "), two
gold seals, a gold key, and ring. On the stone of one of the
seals (a corneliao) t. I'. W." is engraved in old English
characere. The robbery being thus almost momentarily
effected the man ran into a dark passage, and the woman
escaped in &contrary direction. Mr. Williams, who is suf-
fering from paralysis, was entirely unnerved by the unex-
pected attack, and it was some time before he had energy
enough to give an alarm. The police were instantly ap-
prised of the outrage, and every exertion was made to cap-
ture the depredators, who, we regret to say, are as yet un-
discevered. The man is describe das standmg about 5 feet
4 inches high, slender made, (mimed in clerk clothes, and
having on an Alpaca hat, and the woman as being of middle
stature and rather stout. There is reason to believe the
man is a native of Market Des ping, and travels the country
committing depredations at the various m .rkets in Lincoln-
shlr amt the adjoining countlia..—Linenln Mercury.
Guy's HOSPITAL—At a general court held on
Wednesday, the 14th, at this homrital, the vacanies in the
surgical vtaff, consequent upon the death of the late Mr.
Bransliy Cooper, were tilled up by the atriointments of Mr.
John Dirkett as surgeon, and Mr. Thomas Callaway as as-
sistant surgeon.

AUSTRIA.

The Vienna Gazette states that the Emperor of
Austria has, in remembrance of the assistance af-
forded to him by Count Charles O'llonnel, when
the attempt to assassinate his Majesty was made,
ordered him to add to his armorial bearings the
initials of the Emperor in the centre of the arms of
Austria, on the breast of the imperial crowned twe-
headed eagle.
The Frankfurter Journal contains a letter from
Vienna of the 12th, which says :—" The Emperor
has ordered that the royal insignia of Hungary, im-
mediately on their arrival here, shall be
exhibited to the public in the chapel of
the palace. His Majesty ran some danger
two days back; when proceeding with his
young brother to Sehcenbrun, in one of the imperial
carriages, the horses took fright and ran away at
great speed. Fortunately, the coachman succeeded
after a little time in stopping them. The Emperor
and his brother then went on to Schcenbrun in a
carriage belonging to a private gentleman."

PORTUGAL.

LISBON, SEPT. 9.
News may reach England of the instability of the
ministry. It is, however, firm ; a change might
compromise the peace of the country; a ministerial
partnership exists between Saldanka and Rodrigo,
by which the latter cannot go out, without the former
resigning also ; and as Saldanha has the control of
the army, all is yet secure. Senhor Rodrigo his
resigned the portfolio of Justice, and Scalier Frede-
rico Guilherme da Silva Pereira, one of the Judges
of the Relacao of Oporto, brother of the late Count
das Antes, and the last British Judge Conservator,
has taken it. Senhor Avila, the Minister of Finance
under Count Thomar, has been appointed by the
Queen to attend the statistical commission at
Brussels.

A diligence has lately commenced running in the
north, and so odiously has it been viewed by the
semi-barbarous carmen of that district, that on the
20th, just after it had left Braga, some of them com-
menced an attack upon it, after having obstructed it
in its progress, breaking its windows, and wounding
one of the passengers. The postilion having re-
turned to Braga for assistance, an armed force was
despatched to the scene of action, and 44 of the
barbarian rioters apprehended. These people, though
in a state of half-starvation, look upon invention as
a daring impiety, and prefer listening to the artful
tales of persons who represent emigration to Brazil
as a certain fortune ; so many are lured into that snaro
that the slave market in that country is supplied to
a certain extent by kidnapped Portuguese. A
barque lately sailed from Oporto to Rio, taking, it is
said, upwards of 500 deluded passengers.
There are sat: accounts from the country regard-
ing the disease in the fruit trees—Chesnut, pear,
fig, peach, especially orange trees and sines, having
I died without number. The disease is represented as
beginning at the root, which rots, sending forth an
insupportable rector. Tho neighbourhood of Coimbra
has particularly suffered.
The Brazileira, first of a new line of steamers, be-
longing to the South American and General Steam
Navigation Company, from Liverpool to the Brazils,
calling at this port, arrived on the 30th, upon which
occasion the company, under the superintendence of
its agent, Mr. Knowles, gave an entertainment on
board to about 200 guests of rank and fashion.

GERMANY.

AUSTRIAN ITALY.

A letter from Milan, in the Monileur, says :
" The authorities are gradually diminishing the se-
verity of the police measures ; but they still continue
to display great activity in their efforts to discover
the persons who took part in the insurrection of
February 6. It is said that Marshal Radetzky is to
come to Milan, and that General Gyulay is to take
the command of the corpe-crarmee, at Varese. This
change will take place, perhaps, when the troops
shall be more considerable.
London, England, 1853-03-21

ITALY.

The Giornale di .Rotna publishes the Latin allocu-
tion held by the Pope in the consistory of the 7th,
in which, among other matters, hiqHoliness descants
on the pastoral virtues of the Archbishop of Tours,
adding that he has been induced to promote him to
the dignity of cardinal, u well on account of his vir-
tuea, as also because his Holiness was sure to give
vest satisfaction thereby to " his well-beloved son
in Christ, Napoleon, Emperor of the French (Cha-
rissimo in Owlet° jilio nostro .Icapoleoni, Fran cum
Imperatori)," since he himself had warmly advo-
cated (rehementer petierit) that nomination.
A letter from Florence of the 13th, in the Parla-
ment° of Turin, states that the public prosecutor has
called upon the court to declare Guerrazzi, Pe-
tracchi, Homaeelli, Pantanelli, and Capocchi guilty
of high treason. The sittings of the court have been
resumed.

ARTISTS' BENEVOLENT FUND.

The anniversary dinner of this charity was held
on Saturday at the Freemaaeins Tavern, Great Queen-
street. It was intended that the Earl of Yarborough
should have presided, but in consequence of his 1 miship's
unavoidable absence from town the chair was ItlMd by Row-
land G. Alston, Esq. Owing, probably, to the selection of
a day which, combined with the disadvantages of being the
Saturday before Passion week, and the day after the ad-
journment of parliament for the holidays, :he attendance of
the generel supporters of the institution was very scanty;
but the preparation of a dinner far above the ordinary run
lof such entertainments, and musical arrangements of un-
usual excellence, showed that the patronage which had
I been afforded to the festival was solid and extensive, al-
-1 though the personal attendance of the subscribers was thin.
The preemies also of such artists as Sir W. C. Ross, WA,
David Roberts, R.A., E. W. Cooke, A.R.A., Ilenry
Werkes, A.K.A., J. F. Willmore, Alt A., Re., and who,
in the course of the evening, expressed the strong sym-
pathy of the profession in the success of the charity, evinced
a present vitaliti and • future promise, which entirely did
away with any unfavourable impression that the coicir-la-
tively moderate assemblage at the festival was calculated
to cause. It may be as well to state, that the Artists'
Benevolent Fund was established in 1810, and obtained •
royal charter of incorporation in 1827. It consists of two
separate and distinct branches—the Artists' Annuity Fund,
and the Artists' Benevolent Fund, the latter of which ex-
tends relief to the widows and orphans of artists. During
the past year a sum of 7231. 1:54. has been paid to 49
widows of artist+, end • further sum of 1471. 10s. to 31
orphans. Tke total receipts of the past year arising from
subscriptions, donations, and the dividend upon 21,0001.
stock, amounted to 1,4381. 17.. 32., and after all disburse-
ments a balance of about 2404 remained in the hands of
the bankers.

The several Mute, comprising " Prosperity to the Artists•
Benevolent Fund," " The Royal Academy," " The Artists'
Annuity Focht," " The Art. Union of London," itc , were
given with considerable power and tact by the chairman,
and responded to enthusiastically both by the speakers who
acknowledged them and the company ; and much gratifica•
Lion appeared to be felt at the decided testimony Nov by
Sir W. Roes, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Godwin, the S.cretary to
the Art-Union, and several other gentlemen connected with
the profession, to the very greet encouragement given at
the present time to the arts in this country.
The subscriptions in the room reached nearly 4001, in-
cluding the annual donation of 100 guineas by her Majesty ;
and the festival, which opened somewhat coldly, wu de-
clared to have malted in a decided success.

William Pya, a machine-ruler, is the employ of Mears.
Clark, Marble', and Co., printers, of Langley-street, Long-

dismissed Bowden, the foreman, and placed another man
in his situation ; and the men Complained that the new

other six men had been paid at the rate of 30s. per week,
at eleven hours per day. from 7 cm. tin 8 p.m.
