guano; and the farmers are much excited abOut it—
guano being placed, by monopoly, almost beyond
their reach. Much expectation is excited by, the
news that the Falkland Islands abound in guano—
inferior to the Peruvian, from the nature of the cli-
mate, but good. Proposals are made of this and that
method of making a bargain with the Peruvian go-
vernment for the purchase of guano. While thus
looking abroad, may not our Peru be within our own
four seas? May not our own Lobos Islands lie, en-
circled with bog water, within a walk? This is a
question which we can soon settle for ourselves. Our
doctors can point out our fevers and their localities—
meeting, in the set, the citizens who are pointing
oat the bad smells, and the municipal officers who
Gan trace out the sewers foe us. The farmers can
being the charcoal, valued at 31. a ton, and carry it
away probably for little more, though it
might be worth their while to pay 61. We want no
Government aid to help us here. We cannot supply
ourselves, or one another, with agricultural statis-
tics, or a system of arterial drainage; bat this is a
thing we can do. We have not intercepted the
mischief of the floods; but if we intercept the con-
sequent fever, and at the same time turn our spongy
bogs and town drains into guano islands, our English
habit of talking about the weather will, for once,
hays been neither idle nor ridiculous.

THI ALDATROSS.-SALTAGN,

This was • suit to recover the sum of 601. for services
rendered in September last to the brig Albatross, of Sun-
derland, by the smack Nary Anne. The Albatross was
seen by the sailors off Winterton, in • dismasted state, and
a bargain was made to take her into Yarmouth for the sum
pawed. On her way thither a steam-tug was employed for
a few minutes, and a dispute arose as to whether the 601.
covered its claim. The money had been paid, but had been
takea back again because the parties proceeding would not
give a receipt static' in terms that the services included
those rendered by the tug. The suit had therefore been
brought, but the only question was one of costs.
Drs. Jenner and Addams appeared for the parties.
Dr. Lushington, after expressing his great regret that
such a ease s►ould ever have been brought before the court,
awarded the 601. The owners ought to have repeated their
tender before the court, and that would have been • com-
plete bar to the action. Nevertheless, inasmuch as the
sailors had in the first instance refused to take the money
mans a further sum was paid them for the tug, he should
only condemn the owners in half the costs.

Ta• GMNIUII.—SALVAG7.
This waa a suit brought by the crew of a smack belong-
ing to Harwich against the sloop Genius, which had been
found by the sailors in • derelict state on the 13th of
November, near the Cork light ship. The nine of the ship
and cargo was 6141.
Dr. Jenner appeared for the sailors.
Dr. Addams, for the owners of the Genies, said he had
nothing to object to the claim.
Dr. Lashington awarded 1601.

THE GREAT FRAUDS AND FORGERIES IN THE
CORN TRADE.

Robert Ferdinand Prws, charged with having
feloniously forged accountable receipts for goods, namely
7,313 quarters of wheat, and altered the same, knowing
them to bE forgeries, and also for having obtained a large
sum of money upon false pretences, was brought before Sir
Robert W. Carden for final examination.
The justice-room was crowded with mercantile men.
Mr. Bal Isntine, instructed by M.sers. Vansandau and Co.
and Messrs. Crowder and Maynard appeared for the prose-
cation, and Mr. Wontner for the defence.
The interest was increased by the report which had been
I spread by some of the newspapers, that there were grounds
for believing that the prisoner bad transmitted large sums
of money to the continent.
Mr. William Frederick Ingelow was then sworn, and
stated that the date at which he had called at the house of
the prisoner was Saturday, the Bth instant. I have not

FEVER CAUSED BY THE OVERCROWDING OF
Dwatttwo-wousin.—On Mondsy evening as inquest was
taken by Mr. Baker, at the Bloekmaker' Arms, Cart-
wright-street, Royal Mint-street (formerly Petticoat-lane),
Bt. Botolph, Aldgate Withoat, on view of the body of
Bridget M'Callegut two years old, who died from fever,
alleged to have been the effect of the overcrowding of the
house where it occurred. The coroner, on his return from
viewing the body, complained of the dreadful efiluvia in
the house, and observed that he should not be surprised
to hear of fever prevailing in the neighbourhood.
Michael M'Callegut, 32, Royal Mint-street, deceased's
father, said that about a fortnight ago deceased was
attacked with fever, which she caught of her mother.
There was a man and his wife living in the same room.
A few days since a man and woman, who occupied the
mine room, had the fever. Deceased had no doctor to
attend her. She died on Friday morning last. Mr.
Richardson, Church-lane, one of the surgeons of White-
chapel Union, stated that he saw deceased after death. It
was his opinion that the child had inflammation of the
lungs, which was frequently the effect of an attack of
fever, and it was very probable that death was from that
cause.—By the Coroner : I hove removed two or three
families from that house, which were attacked with fever,
to the workhouse.—Coroner : The smell is most horrible.
The attention of the board of guardians ought to be di-
rected to the house. It is not safe for any one to live
in. A juror observed that it was enough to create a
fever in the neighbourhood. Another juror said that
there were many houses in that locality which were in
the same state, and he appealed to Mr. Harris, the
registrar, who was foreman of the jury, if it were not
the case. Mr. Harris having replied that it was true, re-
marked that he believed there were at least 60 persons
living in the house where the deceased was lying, and
which consisted of a shop and parlour, with six rooms. A
juror, who was a district visitor, confirmed the statement,
and remarked that in their verdict they should recommend
the coroner to request the board of guardians to visit the
house. The coroner remarked that he would be happy to
assist them. The house was in that overcrowded state that
fever might be the consequence in the whole neighbour-
hood. Verdict, "That the deceased died by the visitation
of God ; and that the coroner be requested to communicate
to the board of guardians the filthy state of the house in
which deceased died, as being overcrowded with inmates
and unfit for habi-ation."

NEW ROUTE TO INDIA.—A letter from Bagdad
states that an English steamer had entered the Tigris for
the purpose of ascertaining whether it will be practicable
to eatibliah a regular communication with the Gall of
Persia.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.-THD3 DAY.

Notwithstanding the arrivals of foreign Wheat this week
exceed 27,000 qrs., the number of samples displayed for
sale has slightly increased ; a portion of the supply goes
direct to millers, and the bulk forming a part of Mr. Pries'
operations, is being taken to/granary. The demand to-day
was limited, and only a small amount of business was
transacted, at Monday's rates.
Flour was dull sale at late rates.

Choirs samples of malting Barley fully supported former
prices ;but little progress could, however, be made in sales
of foreign, of which receipts amount to 10,580 qrs.
The Oat dealers Mill hold off the market in expectation of
increased supplies and lower prices; on the other gaud,
holders are tolerably firm.
Beans and Peas maintain their value.

The market remains quiet. There is an abundant. of

firming the reports heretofere circulated, of very short sup-
pliesin the interior, produce no effect on the market. Town

SPAIN.

' The Madrid Gazelle of the 19th contains a govern-
ment circular prescribing rigorous measures against
the disseminators of " false news," designed to mislead
public opinion respecting the intentions of the go-
' vernment, and so influence the elections. The circular
is, in fact, an attempt, by means of new assurances,
to annul the exceedingly bad impression which its
lauthors are daily making by their deeds.
There was a talk at Madrid of modifications in the
ministry. The Clamor Publico was again seized on
the 19th. The Danish minister had left Madrid for
Lisbon to obtain the Queen of Portugal's adhesion
to the convcntioti between the great powers relative
to the succession to the throne of Denmark.

DENMARK.
The Bing of Denmark has given his approval to a
project for establishing railroads throughout Jutland.

GERMANY.

The Minister of Commerce of Prussia proposes for
the consideration of the Postal Congress that the
rate of postage throughout the kingdom be fixed at
one pos.
The government of Saxe Goths has ordered an
Exhibition of German and Foreign Industry, which
is to take place in the month of August next in the
Palace of Friedenstein.

MONTENEGRO.

The cousin of Prince Daniel had an interview with
Count Buol-Schauenstein at Vienna on the 19th, and

on the morrow set out for St. Petersburg. Tele-
graphic advice. from Trieste of the 21st, published in
the German papers, state that, on the 13th, Omer
Pacha carried the fortress of Grahovo by assault, but
that having afterwards attempted to take the capital
of Montenegro, he was repulsed. We give these
statements as we find them, leaving it to subsequent
and more detailed communications to harmonise and

complete them. The fact that Omer Pacha is ope-
rating on the north-west frontier justifies the caution
with which we quoted the statement of the 04-
Deutsche Post, alleging that the General was at
Scutari.

RAZZIA AMONG THE THIEVES.

Although the Manchester police had succeeded in
apprehending the man who carried off the 9,440/. worth of
jewellery from Mr. 011ivent's shop on Wednesday morning,
up to Friday morning they had utterly failed in tracing
the men who comm tted the daring robbery at the shop of
Mr. Howard, at mid-day on Monday. Under theta circum-
stanzes it was revolved to make a seizure and utterly root
oat all the known thieves who could be found in their
usual haunts, and have a general inspection of them at the
Town Hall. Officers were despatched to all quarters of the
town simultaneously, and before noon on Friday not leas
than 63 men, known to live by thieving, were in custody.
Placed in single file, and ordered to face about, in a large
room of the Town Hall, the Mayor and some of the
magistrates, and a number of persons who had:observed
auspicious persons about Howard's shop were admitted
to look at them. Miss Howard, the daughter of Mr.
Howard, the young 1 oly in care of the shop, who was ga•
rotted by one of the thieves, was then led into the seem.
She appeared exceedingly weak and nervous, and had to
he supported round the room by Captain Willis and Mr.
Superintendent Berwick. She failed in identifying any of
the men present as the man who so nearly deprived her of
life. The seizure was not, however, without some result.
Two pe-ple identified a thief named James Wllanus as
one of the men who guarded the outside of Howard's shop
while an accomplice went inside; and a young woman
identified auother, John Robinson, as soother of these
men, who drove persons away from the window and told
her to go about her business. These men were removed
for separate examination, and the others were ordered to
he lucked up in the police cells in the Town-hall.

that a general sixpenny rate on letters under ball an ounce
would be a great boon to the public.

SWITZERLAND.

The Oa:ette Nationale of Bale, in commenting on
the critical state of the country, states that in a fort-
night Switzerland could concentrate and mobilise an
army of 100,000 men, and still have its landwehr or
militia to fall back upon. The Schweizerbote states
that fresh troops arrived on the lst at Waldshut, and
that in a few days the whole extent of the frontier to.
wards Austria will be occupied. A Hungarian de-
serter, named Masker, with two Italians, have been
arrested at Lugano, where they were found distri-
buting revolutionary addresses, and are to bo tried
at the assizes.

GERMANY.
PRUSSIA.

Oa Thursday the Second Prussian Chamber
adopted by 244 against 70 votes the bill on the
future constitution of the First Chamber. According
to this bill which has already passed the upper house,
the members of the First Chamber will all be nomi-
nated by the crown, which may confer either heredi-
tary or life peerages.
BERLIN, MARCH 8.
The Zollverein conferences will be renewed on the
10th inst. Prussia has sent letters of invitation only
to Hanover, Brunswick, and the Thuringian and
Anhaltine duchies. To the coalitionists it has only
given verbal notice through its diplomatic residents;
but the coalitionists will, nevertheless, all send de-
puties. They have, too, all notified their assent to
the Austro-Prussian treaty.
The representative of Hesse Cassel lately moved
that the Frankfort Diet address a note to the British
government on the subject of the refugees' machi-
nations. The Diet resolved to await the result of the
extensive inquiries which have been instituted about
the Milan plot, ana to see whether a case can be
made out. It is a favourable sign of p that
even the Frankfort Diet begins to conceive:Tr a case
must be made out before hanging is proceeded to.
At Leipsic and Dresden the police searched the
houses, and seized the papers of about forty respec-
table citizens belonging to the liberal party.
Nothing whatever of a criminal nature was found.
It is supposed that some police spy, in order to
.get
pay, had given fictitious reports about communica-
tions between the Saxon liberals and the London
refugees.
In consequence of M. de Vareane's promotion to
the Senate, the Duke de Moustier, a talented young
diplomatist, a near relation of Montalemberes, and
an active member of the catholic church party, will
succeed to the post of Berlin ambassador. The Ger-
man catholic leaders are eagerly expecting his ar-
rival here.
About five years ago a sickly girl, twelve years
old, made crowds of credulous people believe that she
held communion with angels, and could perform
miraculous cures. She has now just been convicted
of swindling, and condemned to fifteen months' im-
prisonment.

Maria Hollis stated that she lived at 4, Little White Lion-
- - - ••

street, and the prisoners, who had the care of the child,
lodged in the same house. They were both drunk the pre-
vious afternoon (Monday), and the mother of the miens,
who had been visiting them, had left the child in their
charge. At &blot seven o'clock in the evening, the male
prisouer came into witness's room, and asked her to help
him to fled • handkerchief which he had mislaid. Witness
aceempanted him back to his room for this purpose, and
then saw the child under the c.othes of their bed quite
dead, apparently from suffocation—the female prisoner
being in bed also. Witness immediately sent for a police-
man. _ . .

Constable Pike, F 73, deposed that he was called into
the house by the lost witness, and on entitling the room oc-
cupied by the prisoners, he found the wo uan sitting in a
chair with the child at her breast, and the male prisoner
jumping about the room, exclaiming " that his wife bad
murdered it." Witness saw that the infant was quite dead.
Both prisoners were drunk.
It was stated that the deceased, which was probably an
illegitimate child, had been nursed from its birth by the
prisoners, whoreceived a weekly payment from the mother ;
and that the object of the latter's visit, on Monday after-
noon, woe so pay the instalment then due to them.
The defence of the prisoners was that the child had been
accidentally suffocated.
Mr. Jardine said there would be •coroner's inquest upon
the body, of course ; and, therefore, he should remand the
prisoners fora few days, pending the investigation.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARE LANE. TIIIO DAY.

With the exception of an arrival of about 10,440 barrels
of Flour, the supplies of all descriptions of grain and Flour
have been moderate this week. The attendance of; buyers
in Mark-lane this morning was small, and the business
transacted was equally limited, and the value of all articles
must be oocsidered nominally the same ax on Monday.

GERMANY.

Private letters from Berlin state that Prussia will
support in the Federal Diet the Hanoverian propo-
sition to erect batteries upon the North Bea and
Baltic coast. Many of the interior, and especially
the southern states, regard this as purely a matter
concerning the maritime states, and will oppose the
application of the Federal revenues to the object.
The customs revenue returns of the Austrian ern.
pire,just published, offer, for the first time. an illus-
tration of the favourable influence which even small
and partial reductions of import duties, can exercise
on the national revenues and the consumption of the
population. The import duties have increased during
the financial year from 19,678,6978. to 22,028,6710.,
that is to say, by 2,349,9748. The transit and export
duties have increased by 192,5290., giving in all an
augmentation of 2,464456 d. To this increase the
three months of the financial year, during which the
old prohibitive tariff was in operation, contribute but
390,6000., while the remaining nine months, ending
November 1, 1852, dazing which the reduced duties
have been levied, give 2,050,600fi.

A DUEL.

A oserespondemt, whose statement must be taken
for what it may really be worth, states that at Boulogne,
last week, a duel took plain there. The belligerents are
stated to have bees, the Hon. Captain Chichester, of the
Coldstream Guards, sad a Major Moore, also bolding her
Majesty's commission. The muse of quarrel was very
trifling, arising oat of a few words @poises at • public
dinner-table, which not being able to be salialsetOrily ex-
plained on the spot) " a meeting " was determined en for
the next day ; but, strange to say, ea the arrival of the
parties at the field of battle, they were unprovided with
pistols. The matter was, therefore, adjourned until Satur-
day morning last. When the major received the fire of his
adversary, without returning it, and immediately sitar-
wards acknowledged himself in the wrong. The seconds
in the matter were Mr. A. Bernal, formerly of the Madras
ICavalry, and brother of a distinguished M.P., and a naval
lieutenant, son of a gallant admiral.

ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.
—On Monday morning,.between 1 and 2 o'clock, as an
engine which had conveyed the mail train to Peterborough
on the previous night was returning to the north, its course
was suddenly arrested near Reseeding station, about 12
miles north of Peterborough, by the bed of the rails sink-
ing to a torutiderable depth, carrying along with it and
almost burying the engine. The engine driver and stoker
were both projected to a considerable distance from the
engine, but it is said that neither of them was seriously
hurt. The morning goods train from London arrived at
the spot shortly after the accident, and se both lines were
rendered quite impassable it was also brought to a stand-
still. The parliamentary train from London came
up next, but information having in the mean
time been given to the various stations on the-
line, an engine and sot of carriages were in readi-
ness on the north side of the place where the rails
had given way to convey the passengers forward. In
tranelerring them, however, by means of an omnibus from
one train to the other, the vehicle stuck fast in the middle
of some water, with which, in consequence of the late heavy
rains, the road warn flooded. It was with the utmost diffi-
culty that the omnibus was extricated, and this was not
effected before the inside passengers were drenched to their
knees and greatly terrified by their unpleasant position.
Up to Monday night the line was not clear, and all the trains
between London and York on that day had to be worked by
the "loop." They were all late, and the luggage train
from London already mentioned did not arrive at its desti-
nation at sll. The accident is attributed to the late con-
tinuous fall of tato, which has loosened the embankment.
Vie railway authorities regard it as a most fortunate eir-
Nametapee that the slip did not occur during the progress
of a passenger train, as the consequences must then have
been malt minus.

ST. KATHARINE DOCKS.

-
Yesterday, the half-yearly general meeting of pro:. I
priebies was held in the Dock-hou is, Tower-hill, Mr.
Alderman Tiourson, M.P., in the chair.. The following
report was read :
the accounts of receipts and expenditure of the com-
pany for the year ending the 31st December last, have been
coceasible for inspection by the proprietors during the last
fourteen days, and copies of the same are sow upon the
table; these accounts show the following results of
the business of the pest year : Dross earn-
logs. 2.53.2871. se. 64. Expenditure, inducting in-
terest, 162,5981. 6e. Net earnings, 90,6881. 19s. 61.
This amount, with the balance, 16,9911. 16s. Ild., brought
forward in January last, and deducting the amount of the
dividend declared in July following, gives a present avail-
able balance to the credit of the company of 68,8841. 16s. 5d.,
out of which the directors recommend that a dividend at
the rate of two per cent., free of income tax, upon the
capital stock of the company be declared for the halt year
ended the 31st December last ; should the meeting concur
in this recommendation, the dividend payable will =stint
to 38,7961., and leave a balance to be carried forward to the
present year of 30,088/. 16s. sd. The following is a com-
parative statement of the quantities of goods landed and in
warehouse in these docks, and also of the shipping and ton-
nage that hive entered the same, during the years 1850,
18.51, and 1852, respectively.

TITIEDLE EVENING.
English mining shares continue to meet with a
good business, which, as already noticed, is only
restricted by the difficulty of finding shares. Divi-
dend mines are in brisk demand, with few sellers.
The inquiries have been chiefly for Alfred Consols,
Tamar Consols, Herodafoot, East Auteuil, East Pol-
gooth, Caradon Consols, East Crowndale, and Alter.
In Cornwall, a Wheal Buller share has been sold at
940 J., being an advance of 1004 per share on our last
quotation.
The prices realised to-day are as follows :—Devon
Great Consols, 420, 425; West Caradon, 240; South
Caradon, 1471; Wheal Trelawney, 60; Great Wheal
Alfred, 45, 46; United Mines, 280; West Provi-
dence, 64; Wheal Arthur, 28, 29; Vale of Tot
11; Bedford United, 94, ; South Tamar, 61, ;
Alfred Console, 14,1, I; Nanteos, 11; Mendip 1111

Crebor, 11, 12; Wheal Norris, 11; Trannack and
Bounce 10; West Ding Dung, 121, 13; North
Damsel, 2.
There was an improvement in the gold mining
share market at the uommencement of business to-
day, the Australian accounts naturally exercising a
favourable influence, bat sales were renewed at the
improved figures, and the market went back, closing
heavily at a further depreciation, especially for
Nouveau Monde, Australian Freehold, and Colonial
Gold. This last description was unfavourably
affected by the calling in of the shares for registra-
tion. The Nouveau Monde Cumriny, it is currently
stated, have advices from their agents, but none
have yet been published. It is also stated that the
Ague Fria Company have a report from Mr. Att-
wood on the Gold Hill property, but no notice of its
result has been issued to the proprietary.
The shares of the Old Australian Copper Company
were heavy.
The non-official quotations are : Peel Rivet Land
and Mineral, 91 to 101 prem.• Nugget Vein Com-:

CASUALTIES.

Harald (barque), Vista7,Oiang foe London from Madru,
was in contact with a schooner (name unknown), on Fri-
day night, about 9.30, about 16 miles off the Lizard, and
on Saturday morning, about 6 o'clock, she suddenly sunk,
about 26 miles south of the Start ; 16 men and two lava-
' lid soldiers d owned, mid only James Gardner saved by
the Danish barque Fadream Minde, Bleicken, of Fleni-
burg. The second mate broke his arm in saving him,
and was obliged to be lett behind.—Dartmouth, Jan. 17.

tius, on Jan. 11, lat. 47 N., lon. 27 W., gamed the ship

doned ; the maintopmut gone at the cap and hanging

MON TENEGRO.

The Vienna Lloyd states, as a rumour current in
Constantinople, that a Russian note had been sent to
the Sultan, proffering mediation in the affairs of
Montenegro, which had been declined, the 'Turkish
sovereign being determined to make good his nth°.
rity over the rebellious mountaineers.
Commercial letters, according to the Cologne Ga.
site, report the arrival of the Turkish naval expedi-
tion against Montenegro, on the Daimatian coast,
near Dalcigno. The vessels appeared to be very
strongly manned. The date of the arrival or of the
letters is not stated.
Letters from Mostar, the capital of Herzegowina,
describe the great activity of the Turkish commanders
there and in Bosnia. Their preparations, however,
appear to be of a defensive character, and to be cal.
culated chiefly to prevent a junction of the &seen-
tented rayahs with the Montenegrins. The governor,
Churchid Bache, having attempted to conciliate the
Christians by permitting them to bury their dead with
public funeral rites, had enraged the old Mussulman
party, who swear that they will have revenge.
