The accounts about Manchester trade are unfa-
vourable. A respectable manufacturer recently here
has stated that the chief orders received bad been for
the Greek trade. After the goods had been prepared,
a process of some time, the purchasers were advised
of their being ready for shipment at their orders for
marks and consignment to the shipping houses at the
ontports. The reply was, these French and cond.
aental revolutions having intervened, with all the
banking and commercial disasters consequent, that,
if insisted on, the goods should be shipped, as ordered,
to their destination, and the bills for value should be
given according to previous agreement, but that, in
view of the disorganised credit everywhere, the pur-
chasing houses would not guarantee the payment of
the bills so gives, which must therefore be accepted
without recourse upon the drawers. The purchasers
honestly advised therefore the manufacturers to re-
main with their goods. This represents a melan-
choly state of trading affairs in the manufacturing
districts.

EPSOM RACES.,

The new Derby Course will be need this year for the first
time, and from an elaborate plan, with sections of the old and new
COUTOPP, just published by Mr. Henry Dorling, the clerk of the aurae
at Maroon, it appears that there is but little differenoe between the
two, the new ground being only half a milt in length, anti ,je,ning
the old moose at the mile post. The gradients or rate of inciime ion
are marked on the plan, showing that the new half mile is nut gaits
so severe as the old one, the average rate of inclination being I in 14,
while on the old mune It war 1 in 47. The new ground is forty yards
in width, bat at the start it is muds wider, giving room to parade
the horror. The most important advantage of the new course over
the &A will be the bringing the start and every part of the race In
• lull view of the stand, an event which every one can appreciate, and
which is all that was required to complete the improv menu that
have been going on under Mr. Moiling% malt Efficient management.

NEWTON V. TEE LONDON AND SOUTH COAhl RAILWAY
COMPANT.—This was an action brought by the plaintiff—
who, being under age, sued by his father as next trieud—to
recover compensation from the Brighton Railway Company
for having falsely imprisoned him.
Mr. Sei ant Shee, in opening the case, said the plaintiff
was a young gentleman nineteen years of age, the sun
of Mr. Newton, a member of the bar, and of very re-
spectable connexions, and whose name was upon the list
of the consmander.in chief to receive a commisaion in
the army ; and he brought the present action to recover
damages for most unjustifiable, and, as he should submit,
illegal treatment which he had received from the defendants
through one of the persons in their service. The circum-
stances under which the action was brought were these : In
October last Mr. Newton, the father of the plaintiff, was
staying at the Stevie Hotel, Worthing, and on Sunday, the
17th of that month, the plaintiff, having been invited by his
father to go and see him at Worthing, took a secon4-elms
return :ticket tat London, which would entitle himAer ge

enormous new buildings. Now we will pot
to decide how far those buildings may have r=
quired. It was perhaps a matter of absolute neces-
sity that 16,0001. should be spent in building a
chapel and spire in Kirk&le Rouse of Correction ; or
that 16,0001. more should be distributed in the shape
of brisk and mortar between the fiallbrd and Lan-
caster Lunatic Asylums. But we are conscious of no
presumption, when we affirm that the expenditure
was made in a very unsatisfactory manner, and with
an absence of accountability which ought to be as
painful to the dispenser as it was unplessing to the
payer of the county rata. The control of a " public
and open court" over justioes who hold their commis-
sions under the crown, can never be very striLicent.
All the elements of responsibility are wanting. The
bench presides above, independent and unassailable.
Remonetranos is all that the crowd of ratepayers
below have the power to urge. There is no room for
demur, and no court of appeal. But even remon-
strance is seldom heard at quarter sessions. " What
is everybody's business is nobody's business." No
one feels personally responsible. Those constitu-
tional forms which ordinarily give to the individual
an interest in public affairs,becuse they enable him
us feel that he bears some infinitesimal part in their
administration, are altogether absent. And though
the total amount may look large, the tax does not
press so heavily upon any man as to often induce him
to waste his time and temper in arguments which he
cannot enforce by a vote.

PARIS. Smin.tr, 6.30 r.rt. '
This morning the quarter of Paris robnd the Tail& I
ries and Champs Elyates was, fur a moment, alarmed
by the sound of the ramel. It proved, however, on
inquiry, that it was beaten for the purpose of &review
of the lit, 3rd, and sth legions of the National Guard,
whicl. was held in the court of the Tuileries, by Gen.
Changtu-nier. While the legions defiled before the
commander, it was observed that only a few feeble
cries of " Fire la Republique l" were heard from indi-
viduals in the ranks of the sth legion. The let and
3rd legions maintained an obstinate and ominous
silence. The affair, in fact, was marked by a most
chii lag coldness. Gen. Cavaignao also reviewed the
Garde Mobile in the Champ de Mars. There was
bete somewhat morn of republican enthusiasm,
aleactigh still the affair was not satisfactory.
A report is circulated in Paris to-day, and is gene-

Touekiag endowments in Francs, there is 1414 to
say. Svery Oast there of every sect receives the
surfed of from 301. a year to 5W., and an archbishop
gets 1,5001. a year, to keep up the style of his
palace. This wee the income of Archbishop Arens,
who perished on the barricades seeking to staunch the
blood of the people with his cries. This priesthood is
clamorous, not toe state education under their control,
but for freedom of education, and for churchmen being
allowed to compete with laymen in this duty. The
French candidates both promise to gratify the clergy.
Mr. DENISON'a ideas are very different; he would not
merely give freedom, but monopoly, of education to
his own clergy. He would endure them, and none
other. Here again Mr. DENINON hes every claim to
repudiate any similarity to the liberalism of French
political candidates.

Mr. Dertisies is one of those who bring up the tail,
whose principles indeed are not filed or deter-
minate enough to resist all progre•s, and who
are cunning and conformant and cowardly

improvements, which, though they do not like, they
cannot prevent. But they are as backward as the)

ability, and are like the horses which, in some places,
are harnessed behind Mitts as they go down hill, with
their hoofs and their breeching, strait ed, though in
vain, against all onward progress. Men of Yor..-
shire ! these ate not the animals for your team. None
know better than you how to drive safely down a
gentle hill. Yon want no four.footed or two-footed
drag or laggard, but a sprightly steed, that can step

learning; and that plurality of offices and pastoral
duties have to be resorted to, in order that the professors
may be sufficiently remunerated. Thus' for example,
there is only one professor of divinity ; the professor
of Greek has all classical literature assigned to him ;
the reader in history is barthened with polite litera-
ture ;_political economy is entirely ignored ; and the
Rev. TEMPLE CHEVALIER is profeseor of mathematics
and of astronomy, reader in Hebrew, registrar of the
university, and is incumbent besides of Witton
Gilbert.
In resting here we have surely stated enough to
warrant an opinion unfavourable to the original
foundation, as well as to the existing management of
Durham University.

SCOTLAND.

DIMITY-10N, Bsre.l4.
Lord John Russell has committed a blonder in
sending aoommisioner to report on the annuity eccle-
siastical tax of Edinburgh. Dundee also wants the
benefit of the commissioner's service, and, to back
their request, the Gunnell of that town make oat a
pitiful case of empty pews. Arbroath, Montrose, and
Aberdeen, will -take up the tale, and rattle their
vacant treasure chests, and Glasgow, catching up the
eeteemed of the east, will sit up a wail that will alarm
the" burghs "of the west. The case stands thus : Edin-
burgh and Montrose have no funds for the payment of the
national clergy—hence a direct impost. In other
&itch towns, what with fen duties and general tier-
puoirstaitecaroperty there are public funds : but the seek-
expenditure, pro Santo, prevents the applica-
tion of burgh amt. to other, and as some deem
more pressing, purposes, now that the supply of state
teaching far exceeds the demand. Hence, there is
scarcely a town where a disposition does not exist to
rodeos churches and ministers, both or either, in order
that town parses may, as the phrase is, go farther.
Ediabargh is peculiar in the incidence of its tax, bat
nothing more; and this will soon be discovered by the
number of applications that will be preferred from
other places. Meanwhile, church and voluntary sta-
tists are oraininicg for. Mr. Lefevre, who will require
to exercise some patience in digesting the multitudi-
nous details that await Lim. He I'lll also require to
dip into Ricardo and Mill, in order to be able to setts
who bears the burden of the tax, as one class of phi-
losophers still pertinaciously assert that the payer
does not feel its pressure.

Be W. NEwsos.—The bankrupt, who was a merchant at
Calcutta, came up for his certificate, which was unopposed.
The principal facts of the case are then On the lot of No-
vember, 1844, the bankrupt entered into partnership with
Mr. 0. T. Bailey, which was dissolved in November, 1847,
Mr. Newton agreeing to receive, in consideration of retiring,
50,000 rupees, or about 5,0001. He left Calcutta in March,
1847, appointing as his agent Mesas. Campbell and Co.,
who received 11,000 rupees on his account, leaving due
about 4,3001. On leaving for England the bankrupt was
possessed of some other securities. Soon after Bailey's house
suspended payment; and the dissolution not having been
gazetted the bankrupt was made liable as a partner to debts
and liabilities amounting to 14,2151. To clear himself from
these liabilities he had become bankrupt on his own pets-
Lion. Only 1301. was owing to his private creditors.—The
Commissioner taw no objection to grant the certificate, as,
when he retired from the firm, he was solvent, and had a
capitol of more than 5,0001. ; but when he arrived here he
found himself insolvent, and liable for the debts of the old
firm.—Certificate granted.

Mailing a sovereign, from Mr. Topham. That gentleman
and two friends dined togetherin a private room at the Punch
tavern, and were waited on solely by the prisoner. They

before the girl returned for payment. Whea she did return,

DEATH ON THE ICE. —The C7zehnsford Chronick
says: " The family of the Hey. E. Drummond, of Feering
vicarage, have been plunged into distress by a lamentable
accident, resulting in the death of the nephew of the worthy
vicar, about 15 years of age. Deceased, who was spending
his holidays with his uncle, had been .tiding upon a pond in
the garden, on Friday morning, and after luncheon said he
should go down to it again. Hu uncle, knowing that he bad
already been on the ice, did not apprehend any danger ; but
not long after the gardener observed that the ice was broken
in the middle of the pond, and a cap was floating on the
surface of the water. He immediately gave an alarm,
when the body of Mr. Drummond's urphew, who had been
absent only about half an hour, was found, and although
every possible effort was made to restore animation it was
without avail, life being extinct. Deceased was the only slit
of Capt. A. A. Drummond, of the East India Company's
service, new in India, and was the only male heir in the
Drummoed family. His grandfathet, under whose care he
was placed, and by whom he was sent to school in England,
resides in Scotland.—An inquest was held on Tuesday.
Verdict, 'Accidental death."

AUSTRIA.—We have accounts trim Vienna to the

of the Imperial National Bank have voted the sum of
3,000 florins (C. M.) for the benefit of the army
under Windischgreis. Jellachich left, on the 27th,
for Hungary, after giving a splendid banquet to the
officers garrisoned in the Austrian capital. The above
date was the one flied for the grand Week on the
Magyars. It is reported in Vienna that a regiment
of imperial outramiers has been already nosily an-
alibiing* having sank into pits covered with licht
sods, when they were shot. Fourteen persons, im-
plicated in the death of Latour, have been brought to
trial. The man, however, who struck him with a
hammer has not yet been discovered. The Hun-
garians, in order to save their capital from
sharing the fate of Vienna, have thrown out
their entrenchments at a considerable distance

from Pesth, so that • sanguinary battle must
ensue before it PM be bombarded. The Magyars
have declined to refrain from making use of chain-
shot, unless Windiashgrath promises not to employ
congreve rockete. The two remaining members of the
Hungarian Goan& of state (a board established in
Vienna) have received orders to quit that capital within
24 hours. On the 27th inst., 296 members were pre-
sent at the Austrian diet in Kremsier. The sitting was
throughout a stormy one, the debate turning
.on the
question whether the minutes of the prooeeduigs of
the Diet on the 28th, 29th, and 31st October should
be read in other words, whether the meetings of
the Diet on those dates were legal. On a divi-
sion, there appeared a majority of 143 to 124 against
the reading of the minutes. The smallness of the ma-
jority elicited much cheering from the minority.
