SWITZERLAND.

The Suisse of Berne states that a rencontre has
taken place between the frontier guards of the
Orisons and some Austrians. Six of the latter, ac-
companied by a commissary of finance of Bladens,
came on a sporting excursion on the Swiss territory,
and information having been given to the authori-
ties, two gendarmes, accompanied by several men,
surprised the party seated round a lire, when a
scuffle ensued without any fire-arms being dis-
charged. Three of the Austrians were disarmed,
when they all, with the exception of the commissary,
took to flight. He was conducted into the valley,
together with the spoil taken, consisting of two
guns and a swordstick. He was released on the fol-
lowing day on promising not to trespass again on
the territory.

IRELAND.

.I)unum, SZtT. G.

The intention of the Queen to honour this country
with nature visits bus teen inferred from the direc-
tions which, it is staved, her Nlajesty has let, that
the principul apartments of Dublin Castle should be
newly decorated, and that other improvements should
be made in the internal arrangements of that rather
antiquated building. The following circumstances
connected with the late royal visit are mentioned in
the Freeman :

ari iiiiornied that on its having been communicated,
through official channels, to his Royal Highness Prince
Albert that Sir William Rowan Hamilton desired to for-
ward to his Royal Righnem a copy of his recently publiihed
volume of lectures on quaternuons, It was the Pt b
the Pruitt to invite th- author to a personsl interview at
the Viceregal Lodge, at about three o'clock os Saturday
last, during which interview the propo,:ed presestation took
place.—We understand Unit her Majesty was pleased to
mark her muse of the attention paid during her Msjesty's
visit by the eth:tre of the Viceregal household, by giving
valuslije tokens of reminiscence to Major Ponumby, Major
Begot, the Very Rev. the Dean of the Chapel Royal, and
the Muter of the florae, Mr. Harvey. The domestics of
the household were most liberally considered by her Ma-
jesty.
It was stated in some quarters that Burnett, the
man who threw a petition into her Majesty's car-
riage on Saturday last, was arrested by Inspector
Baker, of the Loudon police. The truth is, however,
that that duty was per ormed by two constables of
the Dublin police, Mr. Baker not having been aware
of the circumstance until after the arrest, and the
Irish force are naturally jealous at being deprived of
the credit.
The Great Exhibition was visited yesterday by
10,418 persons, among whom a great number of En-
glieh tourists might be observed. As might be ex-
pected, the greatest anxiety was evinced by all par-
ties to see and examine the purchases that had been
made by the Queen, and that were not yet removed.
Every incident connected with the Royal visit, and
every observation which it could be ascertained her
Majesty had made, were subjects of the utmost in-
terest ; and associations partaking both of affection
and curiosity still seemed to linger about every scene
where the Royal party had been present.
It is stated on the part of Mr. W. H. Gregory,
that that gentleman was put in nomination at the
late Dungarvon election, entirely without his know-
ledge or consent.
A Mr. Jonathan Richardson, of Lambeg, has com-
menced a canvass of the electors of Lisburn. The
liberal interest of the borough will be wholly at the
disposal of Mr. Hogg.
Two seamen of her Majesty's ship Encounter, were
drowned on Friday night, by walking over the wharf
at night.

MARK-LANE.-THIS DAY.

The arrivals of foreign Wheat and Oats this week, an
large, viz.: 61,320 qrs. of the former, and 92,484 qrs. of
the latter article.

Buyers evinced considerable reluctance to purehase ex-
cept at rather a large reduction in the value of Wheat,
to which holders were at present indisposed to submit,
and, with the ezeeption of the sale of a portion of the
supply of English left over from Monday on somewhat
easier terms, but very little business was done.
Good sweet parcels of Archangel Oats were saleable
at 19s. to 19s. 6d.; for ill-conditioned cargoes less money was
accepted.

CANADA.

QUEBEC, Faa. 19.
The Canadian parliament has again commenced its
session in this city. The whole of the members are not yet
assembled, and very little business has been done. Not
much political feeling appears to exist; the prominent topic
of interest being railroads.
The reformers are much elated with the despatches of the
new colonial secretary on the subject of the Clergy
Reserves. It was read in the Legislative Assembly
by the speaker, a couple of days ago, it having I
been sent down in a message from his excellency the Cover-
nor-general. The reading of this despatch created much
sensation, which was manifested by clapping of hands and
loud cheers. On a motion for printing the document, Mr.
Hincks (the Canadian premier) expressed his gratification
at the " sound constitutional doctrines" which it con-
tained. Other gentlemen on his side of the house echoed
his remarks. No member on the conservative side mid a
single word. Sufficient time has not elapsed to learn what
will be the feeling of the country on the subject.
It seems to he generally understood that a tubular bridge
will be built across the St. Lawrence at Montreal. The
government have signified their approval of the subject.
The weather is cold, but very fine.

Lord BROUGHAM, on prer;r:tiniPetit:or.. from Mar-

one year—b. tween 1,940 and 2.ooo—by writs issuing from

half of them were under .501.. and they might have beta
tried much more expeditiously end infinitely more cheaply

within the same period, had tried about six thousand
eases between 1.04. end 401. Anything more taoastrous than
toe present state of the law could nut well he imagined—
the whole of the lailf lei of the judges of the superior
courts were new paid out of the Consolidated Fund, it

pense of the administration of justice; but in the County

THE UNITED STATES.

We add the following to our yesterday's summary
of news received by the Niagara:

The news in Congress is not important.
General Pierce. on being officially notified of his
election as president, gave the following reply :
" You will please communicate to the respective
houses of Congress my acceptance of the trust con-
fided to me; and, at the same time, express to them
my grateful acknowledgments, and assure them of
the deep sense of obligation with which I regard
this manifestation of confidence on the part of my
countrymen, and it will be my earnest desire to prove
that their confidence has not been misplaced."
Nothing certain was known about the cabinet. In
addition to former statements, it is uow reported
that Mr. Buchanan will be appointed minister to
the court of London.

Mr. ex-President Van Buren, with his son, Mr. M.
Van Buren, will leave the States next month on a
tour in Europe.
The trial of the caloric ship Ericsson, on the 16th
February, appears to have given the most ample
satisfaction to all who were on board. From the
time of her leaving Sandy Hook till she reached the
mouth of the Potomac she ran in the face of a succes-
sion of heavy gales, and though frequently pitching
her bowsprit under water, her engines performed
with the utmost regularity, and her wheels made six
and a half revolutions per minute. Only one fireman
was on duty at a time, and her machinery was con-
tinually in motion for a period of 73 hours. It is,
however, quite certain that in point of that great re-
quisite, speed the Ericsson is quite a failure, at least
so far as this trial trip is demonstrative of her
powers.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, with her husband,
Dr. Stowe, and some other members of their family,
proceed direct to Scotland by the steam-ship
Glasgow, which sails from New York on the 26th of
March.

California dates of the 2nd February have been
received in New Orleans, only 18 days from San
Francisco. They were brought from Acapulco to
Vera Cruz in 51 days, and thence by steam-ship
Albatross to New Orleans, being the shortest time
on record. The mining intelligence is of a highly
favourable character. The census returns show the
present population of the state of California to
be 224,000.
The markets had been unfavourably affected by
unusually large marine arrivals. Flour and provi-
sions generally had declined from the late exorbitant
quotations, good sweet Sour being now quoted at 20
dollars a barrel.

TRAINING REFUGE FOR ORPHANS AND

GIRLS.

Yesterday afternoon the annual general meeting
of the friends and subscribers to this valuable charity, was
held in the Mar ylebone Literary and Scientific Institution,
Edward-street, Portman-square, for the purpose of receiv-
ing the report of the committee of management, for the
election of officers for the gear ensuing, and upon other
business ; Sir JOHN DEAN Pent. being in the chair.
The HON. SECRETARY (Mr. Maxwell) then read the re-
port, which stated that the institution, situated in Dorches-
ter-plate, Blandford-square, has now been in operation for
two years, and the proceedings of the past year have been
the meat satisfactory of any since the commencement of
this attempt to rescue poor girls, such as are received into
the refuge. The report, after calling attention to the diffi-
culties with which the institution has had to contend with,
proceeded to state that " nine girls have been sent to ser-
vice during the past year, two have left in consequence of
ill health, live have returned home by the desire of their
parents to attend them in sickness, or for other circum-
stances, and three have left of their own accord. Of the
twenty-seven remaining, the majority had either lost both
or one parent; some have been in prison, some found
in the streets without any kind of home to shelter them-
selves in, and the majority of all of them are of that class
that could not be received into any asylum, but
those that partake of the character of ragged schools. The
girls, besides the usual routine of education in reading and
writing, arithmetic, and needlework, are taught to wash
and iron—all their own elithes, besides those of the matrons
and assistants, being washed by them every week. The
n
average number of inmates during 183 l was 17, and that
during 1852 was 23. The report concluded by calling upon
the u: moved port

THE CHATHAM ELECTION.

On the motion of Mr. 1311.41(31'0N, it was agreed that the
evidence taken: before the committee on the Chatham
election petition should be printed, and that the Speaker
should not issue his warrant for a new writ till the 11th of

TAVISTOCK. ELECTION.

Mr. BROTHERTON moved, on behalf of Mr. Tanen,
that the minutes of the evidence taken before the select
committee on the Tavistock election petition, and minutes
of proceedings, should be laid before the house.
Mr. T. CHAMBERS would like to know why this mo-
tion was made, when the only question which had been
raised was the qualification of a candidate.
Mr. BROTHERToN said the explanation of the matter
was, that his right hon. friend, the member for Deronpott
(Mr. Tufnell) intended to bring forward a motion with re-
gard to the property qualification, and with that view had
consulted the chairman of the committee.

TURKEY.

The principality of Servia is still the theatre of
Russian intrigue. A let‘er from Belgrade states that
four agents of the Czar, ull Russian officers, had
been arrested while secretly agitating in Servia to
bring about a movement in favour of Montenegro.
One of these agents, Captain Jekols Gregorewitch,
was disguised as a priest. The Servian President,
Goraschanin, sent them at once into Bulgaria under
escort. M. Neuelrode has since demanded the dis-
missal of the President, and his replacement by a
M. Wallisch, a partisan of Russia, but the Prince
refuses to sacrifice a faithful minister.

BELGIUM.

On New-Year's Day his Belgian Majesty and
the royal family received successively the congratu-
lations of the corps diplomatique, deputations from
the senate and chamber of representatives, the courts,
the scientific bodies, and the commercial, ecelesiastical,
and collegiate corporations.
The address, presented by the President of the
Senate, contained this passage :
Bire,—For two-and•twenty years the Belgian people, the
more sincere in its affection for your Majesty, that this feel-
ing is the fruit of experience and reflection, beholds in the
king and his family the hope and the future of the state,
the consolidation of the country, and of its nationality.
These are bound up together in its aspirations ;
the difficulties of the times have rivitted the
bonds which united them. Monsiegneur (to the prince
royal) your royal highness is called this /ear by time and
the constitution to come and take possession of the seat pro-
pared for you in the senate, and to swear to maintain those
institutions of the country which find in the King your au-
gust father—so faithful an interpreter—so firm and constant
a support.
The address of M. Delfoese, President of the
Chamber of Representatives, was thus drawn :
The Chamber of Representatives offers to your Majesty
the homage of its deep respect and entire devotedness.
Belgium, happy and proud of her institutions, knows that
her King is their faithful guardian ; she has faith in the loy-
alty and sagacity of your Majesty, hence this general security
in the midst of the gravest events ; hence these sentiments
of affection which are in all hearts, and which manliest
themselves wherever your Majesty appears. May you be
blessed for the good which you have done; and may
heaven, favourable to our prayer, grans your Majesty a long
and prosperous life. To you, also, Prince, we offer our
felicitations. To you, also, the Belgian people gives every
day unequivocal marks of its respectful attachment. This
good and loyal nation places to you its dearest hopes.
They will be realised; for your highnesses comprehend
that the higher the rank the higher the duties which are
imposed. We see with joy that your highnesses omit no
means of instructing yourselves ; lately you hays been oc-
cupied in travel, which gives a finish to studies and matures
and adorns the mind. From free old England your high-
nesses will, doubtless, have brought many useful ideas.
rrinees, go on in the path marked out by your august
father; continue to practise the virtues which you learned
from a Queen of glorious and venerated memory, and be
sure that the warm devotedness of the Belgian people will
never fail you.

: ing to murder Harriet, his wife.
The complainant, who had a sickly-looking infant in her'
arms, on ascending the witnem-box, exhibited ample proof
of the -.-tolence exercised towards her, both her eyes being
blackened and swollen, sad her arms, from the vitiate up-
wards, being in a similar condition. Bhe stated that on
Monday morning, at an early hour, while in bed, the de-
fendant beat her about the head, face, and arms. She
got out of bed in coder to escape, but he again
attacked her and !racked her violently on the body.
' She added that he was in the frequent habit
of beating her in a very unmerciful manner,
and that she was not aware of having given any came for
• his acting with such brutality towards her. She handed
in a medical certificate, which described the senora effete
on her health produced by the blows and kicks inflicted on
her person.
Mr. Samuel Gawner, landlord of the Royal Oak, next
door to the defendant's house, stated that on the morning
iu question he was alarmed by hearing cries proceed
from the defendant's house. He knew the noise to be
that of the complainant, who exclaimed, " help, help for
Ood.. sake." He immediately ran into the house
sad saw the defendant knock down his wife, and while she
was lying at his feet he threatened to kill her, using at the
same time language of the most gross and indecent de-
scription. The witness added that he heard the defendant
say, in the presence of a Mr. Denham, that he had thrown
his wife down stairs on three different occasions. Witness
on hearing such an admission, said that it was a very serious
thing to treat any woman is sash a brutal manner, upon

which the defendant, who .versed to here relented, said,
is allusion to his wife, that she was one of the best of wins,
and that in future be should not illus. her.

In answer to the charge the defendant said that his wife
aggravated him by her bad temper, and that she lad
assaulted him before he laid hand■ upon her. Re added
that in the heat of passion he might have used thr,ats
towards her, but that he had no intention of seriously
injuring her.
Mr. Salomon said that the defendant on a formes occa-
sion bad been held to bail to keep the peace against his
wife for three months, but that the time not having yet
expired, be had therefore forfeited his recogniuncee.
Mr. Alieekett having in strong terms denounced the
conduct of the defendant, infteted the full penalty of 51
upon him, and adjudged him to enter into recognizance. to
keep the peace.
GREENWICH.

THE OIL TRADE.

Wilms, Rose, Oraham, circular says :—" Lon-
don, Jen. 3, 1853. In reviewing our markets for the past
year, it is pleasing to notice a marked increase in the con-
sumption of most articles which interest us, and prices in
many instances have advanced 20 to 25 per cerit., even of
those where the importation or production have been un-
usually large; the abundance and low rate of money in•
dining speculative transactions have doubtless materially
assisted in thus enhancing the value of goods, still, on re•
brew to comparative statements, it will be found thst we
begin this with stocks below an average of previous years,
proving a marked and legitimate increase in the trade of
the country ; we may therefore look forward with waft
deuce to a brisk spring trade, unless the excessive specula-
tion now going on in various projects attains such a height
as to derange cur money market?'

SPAIN.

A Madrid letter of the 3rd says :
Queen Isabella performs daily pilgrimages to one or other
of the e.hurches of the capital, having undertaken to visit
nine of them in the course of nine days—a duty she always
performs when the time of her delivery approaches. Mar-
shal Narvaes is mid to have declared to his political friends,
on leaving Ars4usz for Lois, that it was his intention not
to return to Marici until the Queen should require his ser-
vices. The senate was yesterday wholly taken up with the
speech of the Duke de &vu on the railway question. This
day the minister of public works replied to the arguments
brought forward by that distinguished orator of the oppo-
sition, and at post hour Count della Ville was left speak-
ing in [avow of the conelusieas of the minority of the com-
mission. There is a general imireasion that the ministry
will come off vistericuta. It is expected that the new bill
on the liberty of the press will be brought in before the
middle of the *oath.

EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL FOR MURDER IN

FRANCE.

Great sensation, it will be remembered, was caused
a mouth ago, by the murder of a banker and his wife at
Provins, and by the extraordinary circumstances which ac-
companied the crimes. The Court of Anises of •he Seine-
et-Marne tried the criminal, a young man, aged only 21,
named Bony. The incitement charged him not only with
the two murders, but also with forgery, robbery, and •
criminal assault on a female; and it set forth these (lets:

On 15th October last, a young woman presented herself
at the barracks of the gendarmerie at Proving in a state of
the greatest terror. She announced that her master, N.
Moreau, a banker, and his wife had been murdered in
the night, and that a criminal msen►t had been made on her.
The local magistrates then hastened to M. Morean's house.
There a horrible speetsele met their eyes; the dead body of N.
Moreau was found seated in an arm chair, covered with
blood, and with the skull split open. Near him was the
corpse of Madame Moreau, greatly disfigured. From its
position it was evident that she had been murdered while
endeavouring to save her husband. In the nest room
was seated a young man, fast asleep, near to the fire-
place. Ile was the murderer. In his hand was the
instrument with which the crime had been committed,
and he had a game-bag full of booty. In about three-
' quarters of an hour he awoke, and on being questioned
gave a name and address which were known to be false.
He was secured, and an investigation having been made,
the following details were ascertained. The murderer's
