of those eleven inillioue of hams whom the

Mr. Richard W. Nay, of Billingegate•market, fish sales.
man, MIN summoned at the instance of the Tweed Fishery
Commissioners, for having, on the sth instant, knowingly
bad in his possession 102 unclean and unseasonable salmon
contrary to section 70 of the Tweed Fisheries Act,
fri,ir whereby he bad rendered himself liable to a cumu-
lative penalty of 510/., being 51. per fish.
Mr. liianderson, of Berwickon.Tweed, solicitor, and clerk
to the commissioners, appeared to support the complaint,
and Mr. Sleigh for the defence.
Mr. Sleigh said his client, by his advice, would plead
guilty, as there could be no doubt as to the fact of his
having had the fish in possession, although he positively de-
nied all knowledge of their being unclean or unseasonable
until he opened the case. Under these circumstances he
(Mr. Sleigh) hoped the oast and the prosecution would be
satisfied with a nominal penalty, and the assurance of the
defendant that he would be rinse cautious in future.

Mr. Sanderson mid he could of assent to the infliction
of • merely nominal penalty, duos the practice of taking
unseasonable salmon bad funneled to such an extent as
seriously to affect the prosperity of the legal fishery, and
the commissioners were determined to do all in then power
to put • Mop to it. Besides, although the defendant

asserted that he had no knowledge of the real state of the
fish, there was only his own word to show that he had
not shared in the illegal trade which had been regularly
carried on.

Yr. (Sleigh said—Well, he would not press for a mere
nominal fine, for although the penalties in the information
were laid at the enormous amount of 5101., or U. per ash,
there was a section of the act which reduced the offence
to one of single possession, so that the only penalty in the
power of the court to inflict was one of 5f., which the de-
fendant, although he had erred unwittingly, was quite
ready to pay.
Mr. Sanderson, on looking at the set, admitted th►t he
bad been mistaken in making the penally cumulative; but
again stated that the Billingsgate salesmen bad better take
warning, as the comronsioners would in every case preas for-
the severest penalties against offenders.
The defendant was then fined 51., with 14/. 18s. 6d.
costs (several witnesses having coma from Berwick), which
he paid at once, and was discharged.

MAB.LBOBOUGH-EITREET.
Elizabeth North, • servant, was charged with stealing
one silver tablespoon, a Illucedadle, a fish-slice, &c., the
property of her master, Mr. George Jenkins, schoolmaster, '
residing at 4, Nassau-street.
Mr. Jenkins said the prisoner had been his servant, and
had care of the plate-basket containing the plate, it being
her duty to take it up to her bedroom every night for safety.
On Friday the prisoner came to him in the middle of his
business, and asked him if he knew anything of the
gravy-spoon, and on Mn. Jenkins examining the
plate-basket she found the gravy-spoon, fish.slice
missing. Next (liaturda ) morning, about six o'clock, the
prisoner knocked at his bedroom door and said she wanted
to give Mrs. Jenkins something, and handed in a little par-
cel in paper, and on its being opened a missing spoon, broken
in two pieoes, was found. The prisoner, on be questioned,
stated that she picked it up in the area, just as she had given
it in. He then told her that most likely whoever had taken
the spoons had also taken the fish-slice, &c., but she said
she knew nothing of the property.
Min Jenkins, daughter of the prosecutor, said that on
Thursday evening, on coming down stairs to the parlour,
she saw the prisoner leave • man she was talking to in the
passage and go down to the kitchen, and on caning up
again she had a parcel in her hand, but she could not pow-
" lively say she gave it to the man.
Gordon, 336 A, said prisoner admitted that a man called
on her but she denied giving him any plate.
PrieOner again said she found the broken spoon in the
area, and said that when the officer came in be said he
believed she had stolen it. _

Mr. Be•don—And so do L
Gordon mid it would be impossible for • person in the
street to throw the spoon where it was found.

- PARIS, MONDAY Evanno.
The Censtitationne/ speaks of the last Swiss note
in the most angry terms, and indeed in language
which, if taken as authoritative, would almost
imply that France was on the point of breakiag off
diplomatic relations with Switzerland.
The Opinion Nation-es iiirees with the Coesti-
%Hensel that the Swiss note would " justify " the
French government in taking offence. The notion
that the Emperor can possibly think of exercising
any undue pressure upon the free exercise of
universal suffrage is dwelt upon by the govern-
ment prints as fearfully offensive.
General de Beaufort d'Hautpoul has been ap-
pointed Chief Commissioner for France for settling
the new frontier line of Savoy and Nice. The
work will be commenced immediately on the com-
pletion of the " formalities" for accomplishing the
annexation.

A communication from Rome of the 11th, in the
Gazette de Lyon, says :—" The Pope last evening
gave an audience to M. do 1* Rochefoucault,
Duke de Bisaccia. This young nobleman, who is
a widower, has confided his two children to his
family in France, and come to Rome to propose to
the Holy Father to serve as a volunteer in the
Pontifical army, and to place at the disposal of the
Holy See three years of his income, amounting to
500,000 fr. a year."
The Bourse has been calm, with but little varia-
tion. The Relate, after having attained the extreme,

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

this theatre. The opera was Lucretia Borgia, strongly

litiens' grand performance of the terrible heroine is well
known. She was powerfully supported b,y Mougini, who
continues to rise in the favour of the public. His voice

was admirably sung, and produced a great impreenen. We
were ditappointed in some respect., we regret to say, with

Are we, then, to be told that the cause of pro-
gress is compromised in that unfortunate Empire
by the terrible fate of the only man who repro-
aented modern ideas at the Court of Fite 41114
Jo.trik 1 Let Ili be careful how we point the
moral of a tale of which we know neither the
beginning nor the end. From se much am the
official journals of the Austrian Goveniment have
ventured to reveal we might even without any
affected reticence hesitate to admit the conclu-
'ion that this illustrious and unhappy man was
a culprit rather than a victim.

Conjectures, in the absence of known facts, are
scattered broadcast on every page of history far
less credible ; theories more ingenious, no doubt,
but far less &insistent with probability than one
which might describe the death of Baron Bauc
as the despair of • statesman tasked ,beyond his
strength, driven mad by the obstinacy and per-
versity of the fools and bigots whom he served,
and by the forecast of insurmountable calamities.
The position of a Finance Minister in Austria is
no post of honour or of ease in these latter days,
and the successor to Baron BRILVK will be a pro-
digy of inihlference or of strength if he prove hap-
pier in his outgoing than the colleague of STADIgiN
and Kr HMAXZEN

It is no nmeem of ours to attempt to vindi-
cate, the reputation of a man who has fled to a tri-
bunal from which there is no appeal. A bloody
shr ,ud lathe common destiny of the best and the
aura under such a goveniment us the Austrian.
Certain it is that Baron !times, who at the age
of s:xty-two, in the maturity of his fame, in the
enjoyment of all the rewards of fortune, has taken
refuge from Imperial jintiee in the accusing
Winos of the mave, is the man of all others to
whom the Austria of mar day owes whatever of

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—Antu 27.

(Before the Chief Commissioner.)
IN RE GEORGE JAM RUBBILL.—A NOVEL CARL

This was an application for discharge under peculiar Mr.
cumatances. On Tuesday the insolvent had obtained his
interim order of protection, as he supposed. He was
arrested the mine night, and the sheriff's officer discovered
that the protection was not signed by the commissioner.
The insolvent was taken to Whitecross.street Prison, and
there he remained. On the matter being mentioned to the
Chief Commissioner, he granted a rule on the detaining
creditor, Mr. Keeth, who now showed cause.
Mr. Robertson Gnffiths applied to make the rule sham
lute, and Mr. Sargood showed cause.
Evidence was given that the insolvent had expressed
his intention to leave the country, but he denied the
allegation.
The Chief Commissioner was not satisfied that the insolvent
had intended to leave the country. All he had to do was
to rectify a blunder which had occurred. He considered
that he was entitled to his protection on Tuesday, and
directed his discharge to be made out.

ADELPHI.

The powerful drama of the Dead Heart, which
had by no means exhaneted its attractions when it was laid
aside for • time for otherreasons, was revived at this theatre
last night. The representation of the piece under its pre-
sent ciicumstanoes was as striking as on its first production,
with the sitvastage of that mellowness which does not
usually accompany the earlier delineations of dramas of any
kind, and of this description in particular. No change
occurred in the mat, and the acting was as effective
as ever.

The revival of Manche* burlesque of the Fair One with
the Oofdess Loa. afforded a favourable opportunity of con-
trasting the earlier eostributions to thim class of drama with
the career and broader burlesque of the immediate time,
for it ie now many years since this piece was produced at
the Haymarlurt, with, if we remember rightly, Kr. J. Bland
and Mien Julia Bennett in the parts now assumed by Miss
Woolgar and Mr. Toole. The neat, careful phrameology,
the play on words, and the delicate puns, which amounted
almost to wit, in this as in anothera of Pbizache's burlesques,
lost nothing in the hands of the prevent representatives of
the characters, and there waa an evident appreciation by
the majority of the audience of the better specimen of a
cisme of &mastic entertainment which has of late dete-
Amsted so much as to have been threatened with extinction
at theatres of say prebstioas.

LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 10.

THE most striking proof of the alleged apathy
on the subject of Reform is to he found in the
weak, irrelevant, and worthless character of the
arguments urged against the Government measure.
The first Reform Bill excited not only a strong
but an intelligible opposition, based on defi-
nite principles, and maintained with vigour
and consistency to the end of the struggle.
The opponent, of the measure said boldly that the
tAi-poiend hotewholders were utterly unfit to re-
ceive the suffrage, and that if enfranchised they
would inevitably overturn the constitution, and
ruin the country. There is something definite and
resp,ctable in a position like that. But there is
is..iiseerndAe principle at all in the opposition to
the pre,ent measure. Nothing that can be
fairly called an argument, much less an
intelligent and consistent one, has been
iirgud against it. The Conservatives do not
venture to assert that the six-pound house-
hibleri are unfit to receive the suffrage. They do
their general intelligence or honesty.
They implicitly allow that, as a body, they are not
min Ii inferior to the ten-pound householders, and
prol.d.ly far superior to the majority of ten-
househoblers of thirty years ago. But, un-
able or unwilling to take issue on the character of
the class to he enfranchised, they suicidally fall
beck on its numbers. They may be quite
tit to belong to the electoral body, but then (it is
urgerl)they are SO numerous that, however excellent
their character, we cannot afford to admit so
many. All the opposition arguments against the
measure are summed up in the cry of numbers,
numbers, " mere numbers," as it is added to give
effect to the cry. The Tory speakers and writers
echaust their ingenuity in labouring to multiply
and etaggerate the number, that it may look as
hig as possible. But this ingenuity is entirely
thrown away. Every one knows, without any
elaltorate proof, that the six-pound householders
are a mummers class—hut what of that ? This is
trivial and irrelevant question, that really does not
affect the man I I argument. The membersof this class,
whether few or mail), are either fitted, and therefore
entitled, to receou the suffrage, or they are not.

A WIFE CHAINED AND IRONED. —OD Tuesday,
Mr. Sadler, chief constable of Stalybridge, learned that the
vide of a man named Manasseh BMne, of Caroline-street,
bad been chanted to a door post by her husband. Sines
got to hear that Mr. Sadler was about paying him a visit,
and struck off the fetters before hie arrival. On going to
the house Mr. Sadler found an iron hoop, to which was
attached a chain three yards long, and two new padlocks,
which he seized. It appears that Binna has been frequently
in the habit of locking the hoop round his wife's waist, and
locking the chain to a large maple which he had driven into
the door post—Minsekester Corker.
