MARK-LANE.-THIS DAY.

- ---....
Our market was fairly supplied this morning with Eng-
lish Wheat by land carriage samples from Ewe and Kent,
consisting Mimeos exclusively of the new crop. The
quality being very fine, factors were enabled to
effect a clearance at the rates of Monday last. In foreign
Wheat very little business passed; holders, however, re-
frained from forcing sales, and quotations must be consi-
dered nominally the same as last week.
Choice qualities of Flour being scarce, such command
full prices, but inferior and out-of-condition parcels were
difficult of disposal.
There was very little English Barley at market and its
value was well maintained. Foreign sold in retail for
grinding purposes at late rates.
The receipts of Oats being on a less liberal scale fae.
tors generally held the article for a slight advance, which
checked business ; in the sales made, however, as improve-
meat of 6d. per qr. was realised.
Beans and Peas in moderate supply, and unchanged in
value.
White Mustard seed in good supply, and easier to par-
, abase.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON BOARD A STEAM-TCG.—On
Saturday an inquest was taken by Mr. Baker, at the
Shoulder of Mutton, Brunswick-street, Poplar, on view of
the body of Samuel Gray, aged 30, engineer, on board the
steam-tug, Lord Wardell. A. Soames, muster of the vessel
said that on the afternoon of Thursday last deceased left
him to go into the engine room. Witness waited t;ir his
return a short time, when he found the engine suddenly
stop. Ile called to the deceased, who made no answer.
Witness, in consequence, proceeded to the engine room,
upon which he found deceased's head fixed in the lever of
the engine. Witness immediately released him, on which
he found that the back part of his head was frightfully
crushed. Life was extinct in a few minutes. Mr. Bain, a
surgeon, was sent for, who also found that deceased had
some ribs broken on the right side. Verdict, " Accidental
death." _ _

TO TUZ SUITOR 01P TRI DAILY NEWS.

Bn,—There must be a considerable falling off in
the revenue fee the quarter ending the 6th January as
compared with former years, as far as direct taxation is
concerned, sod also is the quarter ending on the sth April
next, and no doubt a neat deal will be made of it by the
protectionist press. Let your readers know Use reseal of
it. The tint moiety of the repealed window tax has here-
tothre come into the account of this quarter. This is all
goose, except the small portion which has been left in arras
siuee the last half year's payment in April. The new
assessment fur the year's house duty, from April 1851 to
April 18.52, is not yet in operation, and not a single shilling
of it will be paid in the account of the ensuing quarter,
ending sth January, 1852. The delay in passing the Pro-
perty and Income Tax Act in the last session has prevented
the accounts being made out by a new assessment for the
year at the usual time, and there will therefore doubtless
be a considerable deficiency in the property and income tax
payments into the Exchequer for the ensuing quarter.
Let reformers remember this, that they may be prepared
when the quarterly and yearly account is shown on the sth
January, and be at the same time really to explain the cause
of the deficiency.

CLERKENWELL

Flaw:van, the soeduant lawyer, charged with obtaining
money by take repreaeotationa, was re-examined.
It will be recollected that the proaccutris gave the pri-
soner IL 3e. 6d., he representing at the time that he was
Mr. Iforry's clerk, and would employ him to defend her
husband, who, however, was left in the lurch on his trial.
It was admitted by Mr. Hurry that he had received briefs
from the prisoner on many occasions, although he knew he
was not an attorney, and that practice was common at the
bar.
Mr Tyrwhitt, at the request of the prisoner, committed
him for trial at the Old Bailey sessions.
Five pounds have been received for the poor-box, from
W. H. C.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Seth Kitcreft, a private in the Life Guards, was lately
summoned for refusing to maintain an illegitimate child,
of which he was declared by Louisa Taylor to be the
father.
The complainant was proceeding to establish the care,
when one of the magistrates' clerks intimated a doubt
whether the court bad jurisdiction in the matter, the de-
fendant being a soldier, and the offence for which he was
summoued nut being a criminal one.
Mr. Hardwick looked into the acts of parliament, and
having expressed a doubt of his jurisdiction, adjourned
the case until Saturday, in order to take time to consider
hit judgment.
Last Saturday all parties being present, Mr. Hardwick
said—The summons before me is of considerable impor-
tance, inasmuch as the question at issue between the par-
ties is, whether this child is to be maintained at their mu-
tual cost, or whether the entire burden of its maintenance
for 13 years to come falls on the mother stone, the defen-
dant being a soldier. The defendant, as a soldier, claimed
to be exempted from liability under the 324 section of the
Mutiny Act, and notwithstanding the case of " H. r. Fer-
rell," decided by the judges last year, I feel that I am com-
pelled to decide in his favour. In Ferrall's east, it appears,
that the brier was made by two justices in petty sessions of
the 12th of October, 1849 ; and in reference to the Mutiny
Act of that year, and to the act of the present year, a very
material difference will be found. By the 5•241 section of the
Mutiny Act of 1849, I find that no soldier shall be taken
out of her Majesty's service by any process, order, or execu
tion, &c., other than for some criminal matter, which in
die opinion of the judge in Ferran's case, the diso-
bedience of an order of bastardy was ; but on re-
filling, to the same section of the Mutiny Act
this year I perceive that I have not the
mower even to summon the soldier before mc, and ,that
is is liable only to be taken out of the service by process on
miscount of any charge of felony or misdemeanour com-
mitted with violence to the person, property or effects, &c.
I therefore conceive that I have no jurisdiction whatever in
the case, and must dismiss it.
The young woman, who appeared much distressed,
wished to know if she was utterly left without help from
the law.
Mr. Hardwick knew of no law by which he could compel
the soldier to support his offspring.

MINES.
(From the Daily Nan.)

SATrRDLY EVENINO.
Notwithstanding the Christmas holiday, this week
has been remarkable for great activity in the
share market, and for the number of purchases for
investment in dividend mines ; and if the demand
continues, a further rise in price must take place, so
that the best dividend stock Kill fetch prices to pay
13, instead of, as in many cases at present, 20 to 23
per cent. In West Caradon, Alfred Consols, West
Providence, St. Aubyu and Grylls, Nlerllyn, South
Tamar, and Devon Great Consols, thu largest trans-
actions have taken place, and the demand continues
for most of them. _ _ _

The increasing accumulation of bullion in the
Bank, and the movement in progress towards lower
rates of interest and discount, form the most import-
ant considerations at present affecting mining busi-
nese, the extension of which is frequently so mainly
dependent on an easy state of the money market.
Every department is now sensibly showing the effect
of the present plethora, speculative and dividend un-
dertakings equally attracting attention. Under these
circumstances a great stimulus cannot fail to be im-
parted to mineral adventure, both at home and
abroad, and there are not wanting persons who anti-
cipate, next year, a wider expansion of business in
this department than has been attained for many
years past.
The market for the new gold mining shares has
not attracted more than a moderate proportion of
operations this week, but the business in the prefera-
ble descriptions is of an improved nature, and in-
creasing. Prices, on the whole, have been more
firmly held, and to-day leave off good at the following
quotations:—Agua Fria, at 1, 4 prem. ; Nouveau
Monde, 3, t prem.; Anglo Californian, Z prem. ;
Golden Mountain, par to a prem.; West Mariposa,
and Ave Maria, at 1 to 3 dis.; British Australia, par
to 1 prom.
Subjoined is the latest list of quotations of British
Mining Stock :--Alfred Consols, 161, 17; Bedford
United, 61, 61; Devon Consols, 280; West Cara-
don, 115, 1171, 120; West Providence, 1071, 110;

TH3B DAY.

Twoo'CLoci.

The buoyant feeling of the share market is most
strongly shown to-day, and the tendency of prices is
decidedly upward. An advance is observable in
Aberdeen., Caledonians, Great Westerns, Lanca-
shire and Yorkshires, North Westerns, South East-
ern., and York and North Midlands, besides others.
This being " continuation day," the preparations for
the scttlemrnt of the account form an important por-
tion of the business. The rates of " oontango"
generally rule light.
There is a revival of business in French shares, ac-
companied with more firmness, especially for
Northern, which have risen to 174.

THE CENSORSHIP IN FRANCE

A contemporary says, M. Cuchcval, having tetra
educated in the Eoule Normale, the l'epinh•re of raud,,m
French professors is regarded as the "savant par xr(l.
lanes "In the Board of Censure. Yesterday, however, he
was very nearly losing his place in consequence ut basin.
'allowed several Latin quotations trum T.icitut to pas in
the "feuilleton "of M. Jules Janiu, in the je,o nal ,j
Debate last Monday. M. Cacheval, being a YLhotar, wag
pmean;lld to understand Latin ; but it would seem that the
Latin of Tacitus wee too much for him. The pa,. i 4
the "feuilleton" In question are worth quoting. In hit
notice of a now piece at the Gaite (" La Fileuse ")
•
Jenks says:
"Mais (c'eet no mot de Tacite), sue chests mal salufsy
arrive l'impuissance—' nemo unquam imperium Itagitio
quirsiturn bonis artihue exercuit.' '
Further on M. Janin cites the speech of a senator to

t'aimais, disait an senateur a Neron, tent quoit t'si
cra dignc de l'amitie d'un honnete hoinme , mail, 5 prsent,
qv: je to vol.; parricide, histrion, parricida,
bistros, incendiarius '—je to mepriso, et je to hais."
The third passage, although somewhat ambiguous, wu
found still snore offensive; it occurs in M. Janina review
of a piece at the Ambigu Comique (" Le Vampire") ;
" Deux hommes qui ne doutent de rien, mass quc faire, et
I quel remede a ces excel ? Cue Cols quo l'un est dehors de
sea Makes naturelles, qui pout dire ou on va s'arreter?
neque metes ultra, neque pudur est!' "
The fourth and last passige, "de coereendo intra
li-
mites imporio," was apropos of some incident in the rune
piece. The Journal dot Dante: appeared on Monday, as
usual. The Latin quotations, which had escaped M 7 Cu-
cheval, did not, however, escape the lettered hoSien•S of
the coNs, but created an extraordinary sensation. Next
day, as was generally expected, the rerlarteur of the D. 6e4
was reprimanded ; and it was intimated that had the pas.
sages in question attracted the attention of the censure, the
journal would have been suspended. So mach 14 the
Latin of the board of inquisitors, which is regarded the
educated classes as one of the most deadly blows aira,l
against the liberties of society.

Tax Corner DEPOT, Cluzarvirows.—A diem-
trona fire occurred on Chrisimao-ovo, at the convict depot,
Spike Island, near Cork. It originated in one of the dues
of the wsohing-house, and ere the military and other autho-
rities on the island could suppress it, the flames extended
to different points of the building, and committed groat
havoc. The less will amount to several thonrands. AU the
convicts were afterwards mustered, and none were found
missing. The fire continued the whole night.

SIR,-1/3p3titi,iiiiiipei;;ailWiTiome of 700/.
a year, a house, rent and tax free, and the absolute
and uncontrolled disposal of a mission fund of
130,0001. at least—a sufficient income for the Cardinal
Archbishop of Westminster? For my part, I should
have had no doubts about it, if I had not seen that
two subscription lists are going about, begging alms
for his Eminence. One list, of which a Mr. Riley is
treasurer, purports to be for a cardinalitial income
in general, and for a tea-and-cake allowance for the
weekly cardinalitial suirles in particular. The other list
purports to be for a fund to stock the cardinalitial
wine cellar withal; the treasurer of this list is, very
appropriately, a Mr. Walmesley, a wine-merchant.
Of the two lists the latter is the only one that has
had many signatures; but the first, I regret to say,
atter lying in vain for some time at the ltomao
catholic booksellers' shops, is gone upon quest into
the country. The general opinion appears to be, that
our prelates and cardinals are rich enough already.
I remain, Sir, your constant reader,

It is reparted that M. Mon, insteld oi cawing to

about to make a tour in Italy. Rumours of a minis-
terial crisis prevail as usual. The Ministers of War
and Justice ars said to be disposed to resign.

ITALY.

NAPLES, DEC 21.

The Neapolitan government at the present moment
is in a state of alarm, knowing that a cousiderible
camber of "addresses" have entered the kingdom,
which papers are supposed to emanate from Msnini.
I have not seen a copy of the " address," but from
shat I gathered from a gentleman who has read it,
the paper appears to be similar to that circulated in
Leghorn, Genoa, and Rome. Some arrests have taken
place on this account, and the activity of the police is
if possible greater than ever.
The state trials have occupied much public attention
during the last few days. The court has presented a
scene of excitement hitherto unknown, owing to the
dignifltd tone of the lawyers who are now defending
the prisoners, and placing the narrative of the go-
vernment anti-constitutional intrigue in categorical
form, which presents a picture of immorality on the
part of the executive which is truly deplorable.
I have received letters from Sicily which inform
me of the refusal of the government to acknowledge
the paper money issued during the revolutionary
period, and sanctioned by the Sicilian parliament.
The usual form of a " decree" repudiated this paper
on the triumph of the royal troop, and all subjects of,
the Two Sicilies of necessity lost whatever they bad
on heed. Foreign merchants are now seeking
redress through their ministers to obtain re-
muneration for the paper they may happen
to hold in hand. The British merchants have
taken active steps, and the subject will be
placed immediately before the Foreign-office. The
state of the island continues the same : poverty and
discontent, arrests for political opinion, and a con-
tinual search for arms. Martial law has cot been
removed. .

Her Majesty's steamer Dragon bee arrived in the
Bay of Naples to replace the Spiteful, which leevea in

travellers this winter; the Jesuits are active amonget
them. I hear of several attempts at conversion ; the
proselytism, however, is chiefly directed towards the
ladies.

To questions, the applicant replied that the young gentle.
man with whom she bad come to London was an the Ronson
catholic college at Derby, kept by an Irish Roman catholic
priest named Sing. She lived at Derby with her friends, and
this afforded the sonng gentleman an opportunity of keeping
up the acqualutacce with her. She was most anxious to get
some situation abroad if possible in order to bide her Pharos
and to retrieve her character. At present, however, she
was wholly destitute of the means eleven paying for &night's

WEST INDIES.

Via New York we have advicai from Kingston, Ja•
males, to the 12th ult.
The cholera had quite subsided in Port Royal and
St. Catherine's. Ia Kingston the cases were few,
and the hospitals contained few patients. In the
country districts, however, it was rrging violently,
and numbers were being carried off.
A local board of health had been organised in
Kingston. The parishes were greatly distressed by
the prevalence of the epidemic.
At a meeting of the council at Kingston, the attor-
ney-general referred to the probable condition of the
estates in the island when the cholera shalt have dis-
appeared. Ile said it was well known that the havoc
that disease was making was among the labouring
class of the population, and that several estates are at
this present moment without labourers; the cotton
cultivation will fail for want of labour; and, to instil
confidence in the minds of the public, he would, at a
very early day, move that a message be sent to his
excellency the governor to make an application to the
home government for Al lean labourers, to supply
the depopulated estates; he meant those Africans
who were captured from slavers, and are at the depot
in Sierra Leone.

The Trinidad papers contain a communication from
the Under-Secretary of State for the C3lonies to
David Turnbull, Etq., upon the subject of coloured
immigration from the United S:ates of America.
The secretary transmits with this commur.ication
a memorandum explanatory of Lord Grey's views
upon the subject, and mentions that, should Mr.
Turnbull concur in those views, his lordship would
i propose forwarding copies of the memorandum to the
governors of the West India Colonies, at d would also
request Viscount Palmerston to send some of them to
the British consuls for circulation at those places in
the United States from which emigrants would be
likely to go, and he adds, that " before taking these
steps it would be necessary to ascertain officially that
there would be no objection to this on the part of the
United States' government, as it must of course be
distinctly understood that otherwise her Majesty's go-
vernment could not countenance any attempt of tha
kind proposed." G.wernment interference, says the
Kingston Journal, in some remarks upon the subject,
is not necessary to promote this migration, and steps
cannot be too soon taken to advertise the free coloured
Americans of the southern states, that they may enjoy
iu Jamaica wLat they have heath of in their native
land—liberty and equality—liberty to do all that an
honest, industrious, and virtuous citizen could desire
to do, and equality of civil and political rights.
Should the home government, however, ascertain, as
we have no doubt that it will seek to do, that the
United States government has no objection to the
emigration of its coloured subjects to the British West
Indies, it will then be advisable to consider the mea-
sures which Esrl Grey conceives to be necessary for
promoting such emi.. ration, and for settling the parties
in townships when they arrive here.

CHINA.

The following is from the Oyer/awl e
China, dated Victoria, Oct. 34/ :
China presents a troubled aspect. In Peking treason
lurks around the throne ; the northern sea board swarms
with freebooters, who, not content with niunderieg,
every vessel that crosses their path, make co,
nual ravage in the various towns where anythilej of value
is to be obtained—and in the southern province. rebellion
rears its head, every report giving additional sucees...in the

GERMANY.

The Berlin papers state that not only has M.
Manteuffel declined to send a delegate to the Vienna
Customs Congress, but on the sth instant he made
specific proposals for a commercial treaty between
Austria and the Zollverem.
The revenue of Prussia for the ensuing year is
calculated at 97,343,190 thalers, showing an increase
of 4,050,240 thalers above that for 18.51. The ex-
penditure is estimated at 90,455,199 thalers, also
more than that of the present year by 3,112,994 tha-
lers, though of this sum more than three millions aro
for contingent and extraordinary expenses; the
ordinary and permanent expenditure is covered by
96,153,933 thalers. The greatest increase of expen-
diture is in the War department, which will require
an advance of 1,500,000 thalers above that of the
same estimate of last year.
'The late mobilising of the army has revealed an
insufficiency in the number of officers available for
the landwchr. To supply the defect, each regiment
of the regular army is to have an addition of 15
officers, of whom five will be captains. The regi-
ments of the lino are to be raised to the number of
500 men per battalion, with two years' service;
those of the Guards, who serve for three years, to
676 per battalion ; the battalions will thus be kept
at the full rate of 1,000 men each. A third regula-
tion increases the pay of the private soldiers by 4
pfenning a day ; at present, after deducting the dinner
money, the men have only 1 grosehen 3 &tilling per
day for all their other expenses.
The commercial and customs treaty concluded by
M. Phillipsborn at the Hague on behalf of the Prus-
sian and Zollvercin states has been approved at
Berlin. Its definitive ratification may be delayed
some months, as the assent of the separate states of
the union has to be obtained.
_ . _

The police persecutions lately directed against the
members of the Vienna Bourse, have been sus-
pended.
Our Berlin correspondent writes as follows :
BERLIN, Dec. 12.
An affair beginning to excite considerable atten-
tion here is the avowed intention of Austria to ac-
credit a second envoy to Frankfort, and separate the
presidency from the diplomatic representation. The
pretext for this change is, that no ono individual's
energies are equal to the combined business of presi-
dency and legation. The transparent motive, how-
ever, is to create a more palpable supremacy of the
Austrian minister, who would no longer be primus
inter pares, but a personage without any other cha-
racter than a chief. Of course such a proposition
will be opposed by Prussia.
The Hanoverian Chambers are setting an example
to all Germany, where any form of constitutional
government prevails. Both lirst and Second Chamber
have, by overwhelming majorities, rejected the pro-
positions of the government, the tendency of which
is to nullify the reforms, both legal and administrative,
which are known together undcrthe name of the "new
organisation."
In a secret sitting of the Second Chamber the
treaty of September 7 was fully approved of.

CANADA.

TORONTO, Nov. 22.
Since my last letter the attention of the people of
this colony has been almost wholly taken up by the subject
of the approaching elections. These will take place towards
the beginning of next month, and, as you will fancy, the
different candidates are busily clecti9neering ; but we have
yet no kind of data upon which to found any speculations
as to what will be the result.
. . -

e have received telegraphic ;Oakes from Halifax, I
stating that the Nova Scotian House of Assembly has passed
a bill in favour of the railroad from Halifax to Quebec. I
think it very doubtful if this province will agree to the act
of last session of our legislature, when the voice of the
people is heard through the hustings. There is a strong
feeling being raised against it.
Much satisfaction is expressed by the Canadian press at
the great success of Canada at the Industrial Exhibition.
The number of medals and prizes that Canada has gained
is ten times greater in proportion than the United States.
Winter is now rapidly approaching; but the navigation
of all our rivers, lakes, and canals is tree.

ITALY.

Onr Roman correspondent, writing on the 10th
December, represents the impression made on the
minds of the ecelesia-tical authorities by the Presi-
dent's coup de ,tat as favourable on the whole. The
police insisted on sending away M. Balbi, in spite of
Lord Palmerston's remonstrances. Lord Middleton
had been placed under the surveillance of the police
on account of the colour of his courier's hat. The
Bishop of Gibraltar was at Home endeavouring to
obtain permission from the Pope to erect a protestant
church in the city. A schism prevailed in the
English protestant congregation, owing to a dis-
agreement between• the bishop and the church com-
mittee touching episcopal jurisdiction.
