their coffers, and be exploded on their mines, I
their roads, their public enOrprises or works. But I
if the Turks themselves do sot take part is these ,
lalsounitead learn by them, thet the country
must derive from them will not jron a to an idle i
race. Aristocracies are difficult things to keep up
in our days ; in Turkey that of land does not !
exist, that of birth is not recognised, and that of
religion cannot support itself without some othor
source of wealth and power than government and
office can bestow. It is a great problem, what
the Turkish race may or may not do in the
next thirty years. But as to the Greek, there
is no fear—he is sure to go ahead ; and conse-
quently his beat policy is, whilst exerting himself
in pacific and industrial efforts, to be contented
with contemplating his rival.
Our policy and duty are plain. It is to favour
an early resettlement of the Greek government by
the Greek nation in the fullest exercise and enjoy-
ment of its independence. Only in this way can
we hope for a result which will permit the natural
and orderly development of the destinies of the
people, which is as much a want of Europe as of
the Greeks themselves.

THE new Italian Ministry is justifying the ex-
pectations of those who predicted that it would
find a way of restoring the independence and dig-
nity of the Government. Obviously one of the
first things to be done was to close the melancholy
series of pretended negotiations about Rome in
which the duplicity of the Emperor of the
norm had engaged it, to the detriment of
Italy and to the discredit of the Kuro. This
has now been done. It would appear as if the
belief had been entertained at the Tuileries, that
after all the experience of the last two years the
EMPEROR had only to propose a new form
of diplomatic trifling to lead the Italians again
in the old round of deception and disappoint-
ment. The anticipation has not proved correct.
The Ministers of VICTOR EMMANUEL perfectly
understand the conditions of the Roman
question ; they know that Italy can only
gain its capital from the justice and good-will
of France; but in their view that is no reason why
their nation should be played with and humiliated
even by the Master of Legions. Accordingly, we
learn that both at Paris and at Turin the agents of
the EMPEROR have been informed that the present
policy of France is such that the Italian Govern-
ment must respectfully decline to enter upon nego-
tiations with it respecting Rome. By this act the
Ministry recovers for the Knco's Government the
respect both of Italy and of Europe—
we may add also, of France. The Italian
Ministers must Snd a new starting point for their
treatment of the Roman question ; but the first
thing they had to do was to raise the Government
out of the slough into which it had fallen, and
vindicate its independence. This they have now
done, and if it pleases Lours NAPOLEON to amuse
himself further with tendering " reforms "to Car-
dinal Asrozrzur and receiving inevitable refusals,
Italy at least will sustain no part in this comedy.

PRUSSIA.
A WASP from Munich of the 15th, in the Paris
Moiittur, says :
The ministerial changes which have just taken plan in
Prussia do not, whatever may be their importance, explain
the situation of affairs. The plane of the cabinet do not
the less remain covered by an impenetrable veil. On the
can hand the loyal addition, and on the other the ovations
given in some localities to the members of the opposition,
lenve the constitutional question undecided. The people
remain calm ; no resistance of any kind impedes the pro-
endings of the government, and the collection of the
taxes goes on in the most regular manner. The region of
that is that the eountry has confidence in the paternal
views of the King, and fully comprehends that disturbances
would compromise the !safety of the monarchy by giving
/ pleasure to its enemies. Things cannot, however, remain
i much longer in their present state. It is ► provisional ai-
-1 tuition which weighs on the administration itself and on all

private transactions, and for that reason excites in the
public mind a feeling of uncertainty, which is prejudicial
both to private and public interests.

PARIS, FRIDAY EVINECO.

The France, referring to the sort of contradiction
given by the Pattie yesterday to the news of a
congress being summoned by England on the affairs
of Greece, says that, however well worthy of con-
sideration the observations of the Patrie might be
in a legal point of view, the indubitable fact is that
England in surrendering the lonian Islands does
it on the express condition that the new territorial
arrangements and the other arrangements con-
sequent upon the cession shall be regulated
by a conference of all the powers who
signed the treaty of Nov. 5, 1815, or adhered to it
by signing the final act of the Congress of Vienna.
The Fiance guarantees this information as positive.
The same journal expresses an opinion that if
Don Ferdinand persists in his refusal to accept the
throne of Greece England will not give up the
lonian Islands.

General Fleury, the Emperor's aide-de-camp, has
left for Brussels to-day, and Bitllier's Corre-
spondence says he has a mission. Possibly he may
only have gone to buy horses, the Imperial hares
being his especial department.
TheFrance,stigmatising as untrue the assertion of
several "foreign journals," that, in consequence of
officious warnings, M. de la Gueronniere's promised
articles on internal policy had been withdrawn,
announces that the first of the series will appear on
Monday next with the title, " The Doctrines of
the Liberal Empire." We shall now, therefore,
see the result of a long incubation.
The Correctional Tribunal, presided by M.
Rohault de Fleury, gave judgment to-day in the
case of an cc officio prosecution against Prince
Dolgoroukow and his servant, who were accused
of "exciting to hatred and contempt of the govern-
ment," and of the unlawful distribution (colportage)
of pamphlets. The circumstances were these :
Prince Dolgoroukow, a proscribed Russian of high
rank, was for many years a resident in Paris, but
in consequence of a lawsuit with Prince Woronoff,
which was decided against him, he found it expe-
dient to leave the country. In the course of the
present year he published a pamphlet in London,
entitled "The Truth concerning the action against
Prince Dolgoroukow, by a Russian." In this
pamphlet, amongst other matter alleged to be
libelous, he represented the French judges as
having been perverted by the " demoralising
influence of the government" and being "ab-
jectly servile." Several copies of the pamphlet
containing these expressions were sent into France
by the post, and were seized in the Post-office
under legal warrants. Moreover the defendant
Drait (Prince Dolgoroukow's servant) was
arrested at the Northern Railway station in Paris,
with a portmanteau, having a false bottom, in
whigh were deposited 110 copies of the pamphlet,
addressed to Prince Galitsin. Two letters from
Prince Dolgoroukow to Prince Galitzin, posted at
London, and containing abuse of the French
government, were also seized at the Poet-office
in Paris. The court decided that as to Prince
Dolgoroukow (who did not appear, but
against whom the public prosecutor sought to get a
judgment by default), the alleged offence having
been committed in a foreign country, and the penal
laws of France being " essentially territorial," the
court had no jurisdiction. His servant, however,
in respect of the 110 pamphlets found in the port-
manteau, was found guilty of an infraction of the
laws of reportage, but. was only sentenced to pay a
fine of 50fr. and the costs.

M. Amelia. Petetin, the new director of the
Imperial printing-office, has prohibited the women
employed in that establishment from wearing
crinoline.

The prettiest statue in the Paleis Royal gardens,
the marble Venus with a serpent twined round the
foot, by Nauteuil, has been taken away to be
placed in a museum, and a bronze cast is now the
melancholy substitute.
The Daily News is seized.

In the heart of Berlin, on the bank of the Spree,
along which lies a duU garden open to the public, but little
visited save by nursemaids and their attendant guardsmen,
stands an old palace, where originally was a farm and dairy
of the Electresa Louisa. Frederick L having sold the place
to Count Wartenberg for the very moderate sum of 676
dollars, the purchaser erected the central part of the pre-
sent building. At his disgrace, it paired into the bands of
Queen Sophia Dorothea, who enlarged the edifice and gar-
den, and named it Monbijon. It was occupied by Peter the
Great and his suite in 1717, during that visit to Berlin
of which Carlyle affords us such strange glimpses.
Since then it ham had various occupants, and for some years
past its northern wing bas been fitted up and used as an
English chapel, where the service of the established church
is regularly performed. On Sunday last, a mournful anni-
versary, the chapel was hung with black, and unusually
crowded, and the Queen of Prussia and her suite occupied
the pews habitually reserved for the Princess Victoria, now
absent from Berlin. Her Majesty was received at the en-
trance to the chapel by the British Chargi d'Affaires—the
ambassador, who arrived three days previously, not having,
up to that date, delivered his credentials, and being pre-
sent, therefore, only in his private capacity. The usual
selection of appropriate psalms, kr., was made, and a ser-
mon was preached by the Nay. 11-
A correspondent of the indlpendatict Beige states
that according to reports which haVI reached him, M. Thies
is about to come forward as a caudidste for a seat in the
Corps Legislatif, and that he has determined to speak upon
three delicate subjects—the Roman question, free trade,
and the affairs of Mexico.
The Academical Senate of the University of

THE YBLVERTON CASS.

DECISION IN THE SCOTCH MARRIAGE.
EDINBURGH, FRIDA/ NIGHT.
A large crowd of persons assembled this morning
in Parliantentequare, all eagerly desirous of gaining admis-
sion to the Court of Session, in which it had been announced
that the learned judges would deliver their decision on the
appeal against the judgment of Lord Ardmillan in the
Yelverton marriage case. That judgment, it will be reap'.
lactod, was spinet the validity of the Scotch marriage of
the plaintiff with Major Yelverton. The deepest interest
was manifested in the molt of the appeal. The judges on
the bench were the Lord President, Lord Curriebill, and
Lord Dina.
The Lord President delivered his judgment in a long
elaborate speech, and concluded his remarks by expressing
his opinion that the decision of Lord Ardmillan ought not to
be reversed.
Lord Dess and Lord Curriehill summed up in Mrs. Tel.
verton's favour. Majority for the Scotch marriage, one.
The strong feeling which has been exhibited in favour of
Mrs. Yelverton throughout all the phases of these extraor-
dinary proceedings was illustrated immediately after the
decision had been pronounced by a bunt of cheering, which
the efforts of the officials of the court could not for some
time offence. The cheering inside, moreover, was taken up
with corresponding fervour by the crowd in the vicinity o
the wart. The only step which can now be taken to bring
this remarkable ease to ► final conclusion is that of an ap-
peal to the House of Loris. The reading of the judges'
opinions occupied from half-put 11 till nearly 6.

the particular colour is observed peculiar to the gas which
begins to escape at the moment the molten metal is in
proper oondition, the manufacturer will then have an infal-
lible sign of the proper moment for closing the furnace.

TWO new banks will, it is expected, soon be
opened in Southampton, via., a branch of the London and

The Syrian telegraph is now open as far as Ourfa,
at the top of the Desert, beyond the Euphrates. A branch
line extends from Diarbskir to that point, and will be car-
ried on thence in a few weeks to Aleppo, whence commani-
cation will be established with Damascus and Beyrout.
From the latter station a line will run down the coast con-
necting Latakia, Tripoli, and Alesandretta. Another line
will run north to Kalifs, Jaffa, and Jerusalem.

In the annual report of the United States
Secretary of the Interior, we read :—" Before the discovery
of the gold of California the annual production of gold io
all parts of the world did not exceed an average of eighteen
millions. The present annual production in California is
estimated to average seventy millions. The Commissioner
of the General lend Office, after extensive inquiry from all
available sources of information, estimates the production
of gold the present year from the whole region of country
before described at one hundred millions. If an amount of
labour relatively equal to that expended in California had
been applied to the gold fields already known to exist out-
side of that state, it is believed that the production of this
year, including that of California, would have exceeded four
hundred millions."

It is not expected that the heavy portion of the
India, China, and Australian mail which has been saved
from the wreck of the Colombo will reach London before
the 3rd proximo.

Sr. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL.—The governors of this
institution are now understood to be negotiating with the
Fishmongers' Company for the purchase of a plot of ground
in the Walworth.roa& a little beyond the Elephant and
Castle, as a site for the new hospitaL A deputation of
them, headed by the treasurer, had an interview on the
subject yesterday with the committee of the Court of
Fishmongers, of which Mr. Cubitt, the late Lord Mayor,
was chairman for the oonision, at their hall, near London-
bridge. The piece of ground is between seven and eight
acres in extent, and is nearer the more populous portions of
Southwark than the Surrey-prdena, end on a better level.
The building in all its parts, it is said, could be erected
simultaneously, whereas in such a locality as the Surrey-
gardens, it would have to be put up in sections. The
Fishmongers' Company are understood to have offered the
site to the hospital authorities for 40,080 L, plus certain
expenses, which are not to exceed 5,0621. The negotiation,
of crane, cannot be conrladed without the approval of the
governors of the hospital.
THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. —lt has
alrwidy been announced that the next meeting of the Royal
Agricultural Society will be held at Worcester, and the time
has mat been arranged for the week commencing July 20.
The bite selected for the exhibition is in the muned:ate
vicinit of Worcester, on the Rattenhall property, belonging
to Sir Sebright. The ground selected for the show.
))and has all just been levelled and drained. The extent is
Nacres, and the fields fur ploughing, reaping, mowing, and
other agricultural operations, which are near at band, are
together above 100 acres more. A breach will be run out
of the West Midland Railway, which passes near, into the
show ground. The amount subactibed by Worcestershire
for the necessary expense of the meeting is 4,7201. The
special prizes are not. yet arranged.
RUNOERFoRD disasurr.—At the Architects' So-
ciety, on Mooday, Mr. Charles Fowler made a sort of fu-
neral oration on the defunct Hungerford-market, on the
site of which the terminus of what no doubt will be a mom
successful undertaking— the Charing-cross Railway—is Dow
erecting. Any one might draw a pretty moral or elicit an-
other example of a very common result, from the vole-
MiElOllB details given by Mr. Fowler. Hungerford.market
began u a retrieving speculation, and it has ended as der-
niers resorts usually do. The Hangerfords, of Fuleigh
Castle, in Wiltshire. were one of the wealthy families of
olden times ; but the last of their race, Sir Edward, squan-
dered his patrimony, and then, in the hope of retrievieg
his fortunes, obtained, in 1081, a royal charter from that
charter-giving monarch Charles 11. to maven his metro-
politan seat into a market, and on the site of the palatial
liongerford House the plus of Weiner rose. Tho,projest
for its rebuilding originated with Sir Thomas Tyrwhit, io
1824 ; and the works, constructed at a cost of 97,CC31., were
carried out under the direction of Mr. Fowler. But Hun-
prford Market the Second was not much more fortunate
than Hungsrford Market the First, and never did what it
was intended to do—break up the monopoly of Billings-
gate. Still, after paying off in full the debentures and bor-
rured money, 79 per twat. of their advances has been re-
tuned to the shareholders.—London . Review

This motion, to dissolve an injunction to restrain an in-
fringement of Mr. Boticicatilt's rights in the Collis„ Ba,A,
CAM 4) on this morning, when witnesses were SLIM iDfti. The
plaintiff's case was that the defendant was about to in-
his copyright in the Wires Bairn, by pniducing
it at Preston, to which the defendant rejoined
that the piece had been fiat published in Aixerica,
whereby its copyright was lost ; and even if this were not
so, that at present it was only intended to produce a play
called Cushla ma Onte, taken, it was true, from "The Co.
keens." but not a copy of the Collum Boom. To the fiat
at these allegatioaa the plaintiff answered that, se acted in
London, theC'elicen Bay» was in many and essential re-
epode altered from the American version. The witnesses
examined were,
Mr. Boucicsalt, who stated that in the English minions
several speeches and in one case an entire scene was added,
eorreeponding alterations and omissions being made in the
American version. - _ _ . . . .

Mr. Leeson was also examined, and stated that he playod

Mr. Rolt suggested that the motion had better stand over
to the hewing. Important questions of law would arise, sod
it wee better that they should be solemnly determined.
Mr. Southgate, for the plaintiff, assented to this, if it
ware done upon an understanding that a play substantially
different to the Colima Bawn was acted.
The Vios-Cbeamillor—l certainly think that the defend.

Mr. John Kale, one of the inspectors of the city police—
Was at the Fleet-street station on the night in question.
He corroborated the main facts deposed to by the plaintiff
relating to what occurred at the police-station. Witness
insisted on the plaintiff's going into the dock. He protested
against it. He wee not certain if Sir F. Slade was present. Mr.
Rodwell and Mr. Haphawe were; the letter made the
charge. The plaintiff told the defendants he was surprised
at the course they had taken. and that from their pod.
tion and standing they ought to have known better
than charge him with stealing the book. He went
with Mr. Bagehawe and Mr. Rodwell into the
passage, out of hearing of the plaintiff. Mr. Bag.
shawl said, "If you retain the prisoner, shall you searcli
him!" Witness said, "If I hold him on this charge I
shall reserve to myself the right of searching him." He
i told them it was a peculiar case, and suggested that the
' prisoner should be summoned before a magistrate to show
cause why be held the book. That was de.
alined. They then went inside, and he asked to be allowed
to throw oil on the troubled waters, as described by the
plaintiff, sod to be permitted to hold the book till the matter
was settled. That was declined by the plaintiff. Witisem
said be could not aoesyt the charge in the shape of "taking"
the book ; if the plaintiff had stolen the book it was easy to
lay so. Mr. Etagshawe declined to give any other charge
then " taking," and he declined to take the charge, and dut
charged the plaintiff. Mr. Bagehawe said " taking," and
"stealing" were synonymous terms. Plaintiff dense il
Crtes.airamined—He made no memorandum of the coo.
verediun. Mr. Hudson, some weeks or mouths after,
called on witness relative to it. He called three or four
times about it. He came respecting the charge. On the
first occasion witness declined to discuss the matter. On
the second occasion they touched it slightly. The third
time be came and inquired for Morgan, who had
left the police forma The station sergeant was
present. On the fourth time, about a month ranee, they
only slightly touched the subject. He declined to say any-
thing about it, believing it was improper to do so. He did
not distinctly remember what occurred. He believed plain-
tiff mentioned Sir F. Slade's name, but he did not re.
member what was said about him.
Recramined—lf Mr. Hodson had not been charged with
stealing he should not have put him in the dock.
He declined to entertain the subject on the first interview,
and his memory did not serve as to the particulate of the
second interview. Imo other side had applied to him twice
through their solicitor. He had afforded them as much in-
formation as the plaintiff.
Robert Henow, aergasiducofj,clice, war present on the
night in question. The "ntiff wee charged with
stealing. Witness prod the station-book. It
contained an entry relative to the charge. After
statingide ,!.he plaintiff's age and residence the entry was
not taken," and it then described the
charge asCrerfi: by Mr. Bsgshawe, that of taking certain
papers, value la., from the parliamentary chamber of the
Middle Temple, the property of the =miter, treasurer, and
bencbers of the Temple, but that as there was not sufficient
evidence, the case was dismissed.
This was the plaintiff's case.
Mr. Serjeant Shea then addressed the jury for the de-
fendants. He did not remember to have been counsel io a
case of so mare a nature to all concerned as the present,
especially to the defendants, and it behoved them to he ex-
ceedingly careful that in endeavouring to do justice between
the plaintiff and the defendants they did no injustice to
any other person. It would be necessary for him in his
middies to advert to the fact that charges had been made
against Mr. Digby Seymour, and show what his defame waa.
