CLERKEN WELL.

John Taylor, of Eagle-street, Hainpstead-road, was
charged with cruelty to his children, aged eight and ten
years.
The prisoner when taken into custody had 51. Bs. in his
possession.
The daughter, aged 19, who gave her evidence most re-
luctantly, and with fear and trembling, deposed to her
father's cruelly beating her brother and sister with a strap.
On Sunday night her lather turned them out of doors nearly
naked. Sue took them to her father's house. not residing
there herself, when be said he would serve her the same.
In an hour they came to her residence, bleeding and
bruised, and ultimately she was compelled to take them to
the workhouse. lie ha l beaten her about the head till she
could not put her bonnet on.
The children's bared bodies fully confirmed the cruelty
to which this witness deposed.
Mr. Tyrwhitt bid the prisoner beware, lest he ended his
days in front of the Old Bailey. and committed him for
trial, the parish authorities prosecuting.

PROCEEDINGS AGAINST M. KOSSUTH.

The Times of this morning founds its opening
leader upon the following statement:
We believe that we are correctly informed when
we state that, upon intelligence received by the Se-
cretary of State for the Home Department and the
Commissioners of Police for the metropolis, active
measures have been taken to substantiate the
charges which have long been vaguely pre-
ferred against M. Kossuth and his adherents. Upon
this legal information a house in the occupation of
M. Kossuth was searched yesterday morning at an
early hour by the competent authorities, acting, we
presume, under the Secretary of State's warrant, and
the result of this investigation was the discovery of a
large store of arms, ammunition, and materials of war,
which may be the stock in trade of a political incen-
diary, but certainly form no part of the household
goods of a private gentleman living in pacific retire-
went. Indeed, there is reason to believe that these
preparations have been going on upon a scale entirely
inconsistent with the notion of any mere private spe-
culation, and must have had in view hostilities or
insurrectionary movements of a very destructive
character."

cession drawn up in due form, it is difficult to see
what useful end the opposition party in Madrid can
attain by their struggle. Notice was issued this
afternoon that the subscription list will be closed on
Monday; and it was at the same time announced
that the deposits will be retained in the names of
Messrs. Samuel Laing, NLP., Frederick Mildred, and
John Griffith Frith, as trustees for the English share-
holders, until the company shall have been defini-
tively constituted and the directors regularly ap-
pointed. The shares of the Royal Danish Railway
were quoted 31 to 31 prem._; Arica and Tacna Rail-
way, to 3 prem.; Berlin Waterworks, 3 tol prem.;
Melbourne locks and Railway, par to e prem.
Business in the market for American stocks this
week has been chiefly marked by, an increased de-
sand for United States railroad bonds, the transao-
lions in state stocks being comparatively moderate.
Present quota ions are thus reported by Messrs. D.

POLLS.

Lord D. STUART presenTeit; petition agreed to at a
pantie meeting of the ratepayers of blarylebone, which re•
terred to the bill brought in in 18.51 and 18.52, for the better
supply of water to the metropolis. The first bill did not
pass, but the second bill did, and the petitioners complained
that alterations made by the select committee to which the
bill was referred had the effect of destroying the object of
government in bringing in the bill, which was that of afford-
ing a sufficient supply of water to the inhabitants, and to
give them a constant supply, and that a capital of
4,247,929!, had been allowed to be fixed as the capital of the
companies. and power given to them to pay themselves an
annual 'livid• ad of 10 per cent., being an increase of no less
than• 20631.5/. on their present di%idends. The petitioners
' furttier attired that this amount of capital was mentioned by
the committee without the committee hearing evidence on
behalf at the inhabitants of the metropoli-, although such
evidence was tendered to the committee more than once ;
and the petitioners prayed that the house would appoint a
committee of the whole or a part of the members who re-
present the metropolis, before whom they might produce
evidence is support of their allegations.

COLONIAL POSTAGE.

A deputation of the Association for Promoting
Cheap Colonial and International Postage will wait,;
by appointment, upon the Earl of Aberdeen, on
Saturday, the 16th instant. The association has laid
aside for the present the proposition fora penny ado-

induce the government Walter the proposed rate for
colonial letters from sixpence to threepence ; that is,
one penny for the inland postage in Great Britain,
and the same for the colonies, and one penny for the
I ocean postage. In the government scheme, as ex-
plained by Lord Canning, the Postmaster-General,
the sixpence was similarly divided, with this import-
' ;ant difference, that the charge for ocean tranbit was
I set down at fourpenee. The deputation, which will
,I be numerous and highly influential, is to be intro-
ducal to his lordship bl• Mr. Thomson Hankey, Go-
! vernor of the Bank of England.

Generally the gold mining shares may be reported
8 rmer. Nouveau Monde closed 11 to 1 prem.;

Yesterday, after eighteen days continuous inquiry,
the case for the pctitiohers was closed, after further evi-
dence as to treating and tending to establish the agency et
Mr. W. B. Jones, whose foreman, Mr. Fisher, stated that
the practice of paying the 51. to voters and non-voters both
at political and municipal elections was universal in Liver-
pool. In vulgar parlance it " gemmed the wheels," and
rave a push to the industry of the docks and shipyards.
Mr. Jones nave him between 151. and ISI., which he paid
away in five shiliings on the day of the election, which in
Liverpool was always a noliday."
Mr. Macaulay, CI C., then announced that the ease for

EMIGRATION TO AMERICA.

Some interesting returns have lately been received
from New York, regarding the progress of immigration
into that port during the past year. It appears upon an
analysis of these tables that during 1852 the total number
of passengers who arrived at New York was 337,6,56, of
whom 39,052 were American citizens returning to their
country, and 208,60.1 foreigners; of the latter the greater
number are quickly dispersed over the various states of the
union. The countries which have contributed most to the
population of America have been respectively Germany,
Ireland, England, France, and Switzerland, bit
the two former have contributed in the greatest
degree, and there is shown an increase of 589 Ger-
' mans Oyer Irish emigrants. In the year 1851 the excess of
the Irish over the Germans was 93,373, when the total
number of emigrants from Ireland was 163,256. or consi-
derably more than from all other countries put together,
the number from Germany being only 69,883. The Ger-
man emigrants last year exceeded their number for 18,51 by
48,243. The Irish emigrants have fallen off by 4.5,719. The
greatest number of emigrants that ever arrived
from any country in the old world was from Ire-
land in 1851. The decline in the past year is owing
partly to the succeed' of the petoto crop, and partly
to the operation of the Encumbered Estates Bill. The
increaso of the :number of German emigrants is to be
accounted for by reason of the political disturbances of
the country, sad to the fact of the communes in some
parts of Germany sending out the pauper emigrants in large
numbers. The emigration from Ireland is steadily in-
creaming, with the exception of 1852, as compared with
1851. That of Germany has tremendously increased, while
from England it is almost stationary. with the exception
of a slight increase in 1852. From France and Switzer-
land the emigration has increased 25 per cent. over the
past year, end 300 or 400 p r cent. since 1819. The total
amount of emigration from all countries to New York has
steadily progressed itng the last four roue, till in the
you 1•62 It is noatlylBo,ooo.

131 ; Blenheim, 60 ; Hogue, 60 ; Ajax, 58 ; Edinburgh,
58; Arrogant, 46; Encounter, 14 ; Sidon, 22 ; and Odin,

exception of the two last, screws, and is an admirable state
of general efficiency.. In addition to these there is the
Neptune, 120, in dock, which will soon be ready
to go to Spithead, and a few smaller vessels.
The Arrogant, 46, screw deem frigate, Capt. Fremantle,
arrived at Spithead this morning from the coast of Scotland;
she is to come into harbour to-morrow to have new boilers
put in her. The Encounter, 14, screw steam frigate, Capt.
O'Callaghan, went out of harbour to Spithead yesterday.
The Geyser, 6, steam sloop, Com. Wilson, was paid off to-
day. The Simoom, iron screw steam troop-ship, Capt.
Smith, sailed at 5 o'clock this afternoon for Oreenhithe, to
take in ammunition for the Mediterranean. The Com-

and inspected the crews of the Ajax and Hogue to-day.
Several f the ships have practised firing shot at a mark to-
day. The crew of the Royal yacht, Victoria and Albert,
were turned over to her from the Rigging-house to-day.

HOLLAND.

ROTTERDAM, Jaws 15.
This afternoon, in opening the proceedings of the
First Chamber of the States General, the President
Heer Philipee, observed that serious events had oc-
curred in Holland since the last sitting of the house;
that an important period was approaching, and that
the chamber would, in all probability, have weighty
lquestions to consider. He trusted that, whatever
topics of debate might arise, the chamber would
continue to display its wonted calmness and modera-
tion. The chamber then agreed to vote an address
in reply to the speech from the throne, and appointed
a committee to prepare a draft of that address. The
proceedings of the Second Chamber yesterday were
merely of a preliminary nature.
A so-called " constituent " assembly for the re-orga-
nisation of the Hebrew church in Holland is con-
voked for Monday, the 27th hurt., at the Hague.
The total amount of the national revenue of Hol-
land for the five months ending May 31, 1853, was

preceding year.
Seven vessels, gaily decked out with flags, left
Endhuisen the other day for the herring fisheries.
An immense number of people witnessed the depar-
'tare, for the commencement of the fishing season is
an important event for Endhuisen (on the Zuider

The New Zurich Gazette says" According to te-
legraphic deepach from Ticino, great agitation pre-
vailed at Milan, and the government feared a new
revolutionary movement. The soldiers have effected
numerous arrests, and seized depots of arms. Rein-
forcements, and especially artillery, have been sent
from Como.'

The Augsburg Gazette publishes a Milan letter of
the 9th, which mentions the arrest of several persons
suspected of distributing money for revolutionary
purpoees.

Ctatunel Vandeleur has at length overcome what-

published his address to the electors of Clare. No
second tory candidate has yet made his appearance.
The receipts at the doors of the Great Exhibition
were larger yesterday than on any previous clay.
The number of visitors amounted to 8,742. Last
night the Holyhead railway steamer brought 400
passengers en rotate to the Exhibition, and it is ex-
pected that henceforth the numbers will be consider-
ably swelled by excursion trains and the
.generosity
of employers iu treating their men to a visit. It is
understood that the directors of the Dublin and
Drogheda Railway have signified their intention to
give to all the servants in their employ free tickets
for visiting the Exhibition, and also to pay them
their usual wages during their absence. Several
other companies and extensive employers will, it is
hoped, follow this very laudable example.
A crowded meeting of the citizens of Cork, at
which the mayor presided, was held yesterday to
petition against the Nunneries Inspection Bill. The
mayor read a letter that had been lately received by
a catholic gentleman here, from the Bishop of Nor-
wich, relative to his lordship's statement in the
House of Lords on the subject of the confinement of
persons in nunners. The following is his lordship's
letter, which was written in reply to an inquiry to
ascertain his authority for the statement in question :
Norwich, 24th May, 11353.
Sir,—l am sorry that lam unable to furnish you with
the information for which you wrote. What I stated in the
House of Lords on the occasion to which your letter refers
was, that some few years ago a Roman catholic mother ac-
costed me with an application to help her in discovering the
nunnery in which • child of hers had been clandestinely
placed.
i According to her statement she had ascertained
that the child wasn a nunnery, and what she desired was
to know where it wee. I advised her to apply to Dr.
Murray, at that time Roman catholic Archbishop of Dublin,
feeling sure, as I stated, from my personal knowledge of
him, that he would afford her all the assistance, and give
her all the redress which his office might have enabled him
to give. The circumstance occurred while I was walking
through l'hcenix-park, and the woman (apparently a re-
spectable woman of the humbler classes) was an entire
stranger to me; and, as I soon discovered that she ad-
dressed herself to me under a misapprehension, I made no
inquiries of her.

AMUSEMENTS IN THE TYROL—On the 19th March
the inhabitants of Zirl, near Innapruck, celebrated the re-
covery of the Emperor by shooting at the target, and the
following are some literal extracts from the Theatre Zei-
tang : " Yesterday was a grand day. The marksmen
marched out in procession with drums sad fifes in the van.
After the music came the flags, the prize, and the targets."
On one of the targets was inscribed, in dogged rhymes,
" 0, England, hell-brand, safe retreat for COM ardly women
—blow it to pieces, the infernal nest, the stye for all rob-
bers " The bull's eye of the second target was repre-
sented by the Lititish arms, with the motto, If the devil
had a son, surely 'twas Lord Palmerston.' Kossuth and
Mazzini, ' who were in a position which can be better por-
trayed by the brush than described by the pen, were re-
presented as raising their hands supplicatingly to the royal
shield.' The inscription beneath was too coarse to be re,
peated. The bull's eye was soon hit, and "Oh what tri-
umphal shouts arose ' The Tyrolese peasants are tine fel-
lows, hut they would hardly have thought of this piece of
absurdity if they had not been incited so to do by their su-
periors in knowledge and education.

WORSHIP STREET.

Edward Green was charged with a violent tumult upon
Elizabeth Steer.
Omni iinant, who exhibited numeraus cuts and contu-
sions about the face and a severe gash over her right eye,•aid
that :he had been living for the last fifteen months with
the prisoner, who hod subjected her to the most cruel and
systematic ill-treatment during the whale of that period.
He had not performed a single day's wen k for upwards of a
twelvemonth, but compelled her to support him in idleness
by a vicious course of life. After wandering about the
streets on the previous night until she wu completely

exhausted, she returned to her lodging at one o'clock that
morning, and the moment she entered the room, the pti-
' soner demanded, in a surly tote, what money she had
brought home for him. On tellirg him that eke had rot
been able to pr.reurci any that night, she was instantly
seised by the primmer, wha tole MT her pocket, and finding
it to be perfectly empty, he commenced en unmerciful
attack upon her, in the course of which he knocked her
down several times, and beat her about the face until it was
bruised and disfigured as it now appeared. The prisoner
then flung her out into the street. at the same time telling
her that she had better not venture back unless she brought
him same money, and after remaining outside fur several
hours she communicated the particulars of his brutal con-
duct to a policeman, who entered the house and took him
into custody.
On being called upon for his defence, the prisoner care-
lessly answered that he did not suppose it would be of much
use to say scything.
Mr. D'Eyncourt ordered him to pay a penalty of 51, or
to be committed in default for two months to the liouse of
Correction.

GERMANY.

The two heavy ammunition trains whose depar-
ture from Vienna by the Southern Railroad was
noticed a few days ago, were sent to Carlstadt, in
Croatia. _ _ _

Since tho 12th of February last, there have been
executed for political offences in the Austrian mo-
narchy—as appears from official publications—thirty-
nine persons banged.
Letters from Berlin state that the police are
, secretly pursuing the investigations relative to the
lately discovered conspiracy. The papers continue
to publish paragraphs relative to the recent arrest,
hut these resolve themselves, for the most part, into
conjectures and repetitions of previous statements.
Thu stretch of power successfully attempted by the
police, in arbitrarily abolishing the great sick club,
without judicial process, and in holding up private
citiz•cns by name to reprobation, as has been done in
I the " decree" just published, was very ill received in
1 the Prussian capital.
The Bavarian government has notified that it will
not recognise marriages which have taken place
according to the forms of tho German catholic com-
munity. Parties to such marriages refusing to be
married according to the orthodox rites, will be sepa-
lrated by the police, as living in coneubinage.

Madrid Gazette of the sth, the result of the 16th adjudica-
tion by public auction of the redeemable debt of the first
and second class, conformably to the prescriptions of the
law of the Ist August, 1851. It appears from that docu-
ment that the propositions admitted for the redeemable
debt of the first class were five in number, amounting to
631,067 reels, those of the second class (domestic) were 23,
repre-enting a sum of 6,456.257 reale, and those of the

The prices of adjudication were 11 per cent. fer the debt of

mestic) ; and 5.85 to 6.94 teethe foreign debt. The prices
fixed by the Junta were II and 6.25.
The Junta also published a recapitulation of the proposi-
tions presented for the purpose of participating in the pub-
lic adjudication, which took place on the 30th Match last,
with a view to convert into the Consolidated Three per Cent.
Debt the sum of 45,549,061 teals (nominal value), in deben-
tures of the Deferred Foreign and Domestic Debt, agreeably
to the authorisation granted to foreign and national credi-
tors by the decree of the Ist October lost, and the royal ordi-
nance of the same month; said suns of 45,549,061 reale re-
maining disposable out of the 400,000,0410 of reale which, in
virtue of the shove ordiner.ce, were applied to that conver-
sion during the six months expiring on the 3lst March last.
Three propositions were presented, two of which were ad-
mitted, representing au amount of 1,120,000 reels, adjudi-
cated at the price of 55 per cent., according to the provisions
of the 7th article of the decree of the Ist October last.

EXCHEQUER BONDS.
TO THE EDITOR UP Tllll SIMMS.

SIR,—As the proposed Exchequer Bonds will be
much sought after by capitalists, wishing for a temporary
investment, would not their eligibility be increased if they
were issued with coupons, with interest payable quarterly
instead of half-yearly and if they are to suprr,ede Exche-
quer Bills, on which the interest is calculated from day to
day, the suggestion 1 have made has greater force.—
Yours, 6re., E. IL K.

parishioaers are anxiously looking for the final closing
of the place. There is a rumour that the time is to be ea-

BELGIUM.

Brussels letters of the 9th describe the proceedings
of that day in the Senate of the Kingdom, when the
Crown Prince, the Duke of Brabant, took his sent in
that assembly, and swore to maintain the national
charter. Nothing, it would appear, was omitted
to give ~clot to the ceremony and invest it with the
character of a great constitutional event. All the
I ministers, high functionaries, and membcre of the
diplomatic body were present in grand costume, and
the palace of the Senate, which was adorned with
the national colours, was guarded by a considerable
number of troops. The young prince, before taking
his seat, protested his devotion to the constitutional
system of government, swore to maintain the charter,
`and was then proclaimed a member of the Senate by
the Prince de Ligne.

REDEMPTION ACTS.

The report of the resolutions passed In committee was
brought up, and the first live were agreed to.
Ou the sixth resolution,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved to
strike out the date "3rd of June," and to insert that of Ist
of July. He proposed this .alteration because it had been
represented to him that the South Sea Company required,
by the terms of their charter, s notice of six months.
The resolution, as amended, was then agreed to; as were
the others up to 15.
On resolution Li,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed an
amendment, the object of which fro., to enable trustees to
act in respect of South Sea stock in the same way as with
Air ad to other stock.
The amendment was agreed to, and the resolution passed.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then moved
an address to her Majesty, praying that she would give her
royal assent for the redempti,n of the annuities granted by
the act of the 12th of GLo. I. ; also that the Speaker take
the necessary steps with regard to the other notices.
Agreed to.

SERVIA.

The Gratchate, a Belgrade journal, states that M.
Elias Garaschanin, Servian Minister for Foreign
Affairs, has given in his resignation. On the 27th
of March he received the visit of the Pacha and some
of the consuls, and in the evening of the same day
an offizial of the Prince, his master, brought him a
draught of a resignation, which he was ordered to
sign without delay. The overthrow of the minister,
like that of his colleague of the interior, which oc-
curred only a few weeks ago, is ascribed directly
to the influence of Russia. The Czas, the
organ of the Sclavic party, remarks that
Garaszanin, like his master, Prince Alexander, in-
stead of playing into Russia's hands, was bent on
maintaining the independence of Servia, and increas-
ing its power. At the outbreak of the Montenegrin
war Servia offered the Porte its intervention on the
following terms : "The Montenegrins to be placed in
about the same position, in regard to Turkey, as
Servia ; the Montenegrins to unite the temporal and
spiritual power in the hands of a Vladika who
should be appointed by the Servian metropolitan;
Montenegro to form a kind of federal union with
Servia, and to have one common representative at
Constantinople." Germania was resolved not to
be made a tool of by Russia, and accordingly when
that power affected to consider the Montenegrin cam-
paign a holy war the Servian government remained
perketly passive.

WESTMINSTER.

Jane Roberts, a respectably-dressed middle-nged woman,
was chsrgea with being concerned in the following im-
position :• A short time ago a letter was presented at the
town residence of Mr. J. L. Ricardo, M.P., purporting to
be written by Mr. E. Ridgway, a gentleman with whom
Mr. Ricardo is acquainted, recommending a person named
Yates as a very descrying object of relief. Upon faith of
this letter, Mrs. Ricardo gage • checque for 51. for the
patty ; but shortly afterwards it was ascertained that the
letter in question was a forgery, Mr. E. Ridgway knowing
nothing whatever about the matter. On Friday two men
called at Kr. Iticardo's in Imundes-square, and requested

to rieeltkin, when, upon being informed that he was too 111
to gate then, an interview, one of them represented himself
to be Mr. Ridgway, and then left. On Saturday morning
ties prisoner presented herself at Mr. Ricardo's with a !
letter in the same handwriting as that by which the money
had been obtained, purporting to be written by Mr. Ridg-
way, and again begging fur the same party as before. A
policeman was sent for, to whom the prisoner was given in
charge, when she admitted her rickanisanre of the circurn-
stenos of the two men having called the previous day.
Prisoner said that she really knew nothing about it. A
person had given her the letter, and she was not aware of
ate contents. She did no know the name or address of the
man.
The prisoner was nut known to the polies. She refuted
Ito give her address, and was remanded.
