Some extraordinary evidence was given yester-
t day before the Sheffield trades' commission. Shaw, As,
witness who at the last sitting of the court committed
I transparent perjury, •` made a cicala breast of it " pater-
' day, on the assurance that that was the only means of
saving himself from punishment. He confessed to having
been hired to commit several outrages on persons who had
offended the union committee. He implicated Broadhead,
the secretary, and another man in the crimes. Another
witness who refused to give information regarding an
outrage which he admitted be was engaged in, was sent
to the !louse of Correction for sit weeks.

A deputation from both Houses of the Diet brought an
offering from the nation of 100,000 ducats, and at the same
time specimens of the chief productions of the country,
after being carried in procession through the two cities,
were, in accordance with ancient custom, laid at the feet
of the Sing and queen. They consisted of various kinds of
bread, borne on trays by the bakers ; enormous sturgeons
from the Danube, suspended on poles and carried
by fishermen ; a waggon-load of dowers and vege-
tables, surrounded by young girls dressed in white,
with scarves of the national colours; several waggon-
loads of wheat, barley, and rye, in white sacks, with
variously coloured inscriptions ; an enormous waggon
with sacks of dour ; another with casks of wine,
&c. Among and between these marched young bakers,
butchers, peasants, vintners, &c., with flying damp,
and a gips), band of music. The greatest enthu-
siasm was created among the crowd by a young home,
led by two C4iIUS in flowing white linen garments,
their open shirt-deeves trailing almost on the ground.

CHOLERA IN THE EAST END 0? LONDON.—We
are sorry to have to chronicle the occurrence of one if not
two cases of Asiatic cholera in the east end of Lend. a.
We are informed that, early on last tiund,iy morning, •
patient ill of cholera, and almost if not quite pulseleas,
was admitted into the London Hospital about 9 a.m.,
having been first attacked about 3 o'clock in the morning.
This case has, we hear, not yet proved fatal, reaction
having commenced, though strong doubts are entertained
as to recovery. There was al lo at the same hospital an.
other ease which bore a strung resemblance to Asiatic
cholera, though there was some doubt about it. These
cases are not without significance, and we trust that the
local authorities at the east end f the town will exercise
extreme vigilance in all sanitary matters,—British Me-
dical Journal. _ _ .

SAL/ OF THE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS' HUNTERS
AT Quoax.—On Wednesday afternoon the stud of hunters,
that have been regularly hunted with the Quorn bounds,
the property of the Marquis of Hastings, were submitted
to public auction in a field adjoining the kennels, geom.
don, Leicestershire, by Mr. T. Payne (Messrs. Tattersall's..
London). There was a large company, amongst them being
Lord Yarborough, Lord E. Cavendish, Captain Barlow,
Mr. Tillotson, erc. The animal', which were in excellent
condition, were all sold, with the exception of two lots,
for which no bid was made. Mr. Oldacres was the prin-
cipal purchaser, five animals falling to his bids for 1,085
guineas, or an average of 217 guineas each. The total
amount the stud realised was 2,875 guineas, or an
average of 99 guineas. Six horses belonging to Lord A.
Paget were also sold.
COLLIERY ELPLOSION.—A frightful colliery ex-
plosion occurred on Wednesday at the Beaufort colliery,
Penclawdd, the property of Messrs. Richards and Wu-
brook. Two bodies had been found by 6 p.m., but it is
feared that a number of lives have been lost.
ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT EASTERS RAILWAY.—
An accident occurred on the Oreat Eastern Railway, near
Colchester, on Wedoesday evening. A goods train of 25
trucks, containing some foreign ducks, grocery, wine, Ac.,
had arrived within • mile of Colchester, when one of the
coupling irons snapped, and 1J trucks in the centre were
upset, three or four rolling down an embankment 30 or 40
feet high. The contents of the trucks were, of course,
much damaged. A messenger was at once despatched
to Colchester to stop a down mail train then due, and
this object was happily attained. The down wail was
delayed till about t a.m., and yesterday the up mail train
was also delayed for a considerable time. Traffic was
fully resumed, however, yesterday morning.
KING FRANCIS JOSEPH AS A HOIDIEMAN.—It was
observed on the Coronation-day that the charger on which
the King was mounted was very feedlot times. His Majesty
is said to have reproached Count Croons for furnishing
him with such a very rampant Bucephalus, and no doubt
it was trying enough to have to sit on • curvetting steed
nearly 17 hands high, with the crown of St. Stephen, who
was a large-headed man, apparently, on his front, and the
robe of St. Stephen, which is not exactly a summer-
day's mantle, on his heck for so many hours. When the
King dismounted to take the oath in the square before the
Rath House of Faith the horse was very much excited, and
it became necessary for two grooms to lay hold of his head
as his Majesty mounted, which he did with difficulty.
Before he was well in his seat the cannon of the Block*.
berg opened with a salute. At the first report the heree
modes furious bound and rose high in the air, dragging the
grooms off their feet, and lighting in a prodigious leap in
the centre of the throng far away. At the sight, when the
horse sprang up, &thrill went through the multitude. What
' a catastrophe if the King were unhorsed! What an omen
if the sacred crown were to fall from his brow jest as b•
had taken the oath ! To their surprise and delight, the
' King, without an apparent struggle, sat firm and lightly in
his saddle, and bore the shock unmoved as the horse came
to the ground, then shouting to the struggling grooms,
'who were dragged along, " Auflassen !n . Let go") he
wheeled round in the midst of his affrighted courtiers, and
ruled his charger in its impetuous bounds, amid applause
I which contended with the thunder of the gains,
land rods away in a hurricane of popular delight. His
skill as • horseman, and the air with which he drew
' his sword and spurred his horse up the Krominge.
beget, and wheeled him round while he thrust his defiant
point at the four corners of the world, won him golden
opinions on the Franz Jceeplaflats ; and it was remem-
bered how when Ferdinand was crowned his Majesty
could not induce his horse to descend from the moundd.
although he had got him up very easily, the reason beirg
that for some time previously the animal had been fed es
the top bJ the groom every morning, and was led down
,• afterwards.—Tiaras' correspondent at l'esth.

MILPPIN HROTHEltS.—Frtablished A. n.lBlO. ham; were in fact duly published. If either
question had been decided in the negative, it must
have been admitted that the marriage was bad. But
in that case there was a third question to be pro-
pounded, which is familiar in the history of our
own marriage law, in the distinction between void
and voidable marriages. It was argued that as
the Milan marriage had not been impugned in
the lifetime of both parties, it could not be chal-
lenged after the death of one. But, as it hap-
pened, this point did not occupy the Judges'
attention. Two of them, Barons BRAMWELL and
Po:orr, were of opinion that the Milan marriage
must be held unimpeachable. They conceived that
it was incredible that all the parties, including the
two Roman Catholic priests, should have made a
blunder in the matter of due publication of
banns. And they considered that the Austrian
legal witnesses established the proposition
that in law the Roman Catholic chaplain
was the proper priest even of a Protestant officer.
But the LORD CHIEF BARON and Baron MARTIN
were both of opinion that the banns had not been
duly published, and thus that the marriage was void,
although they differed on the question of the com-
petency of the chaplain. Thus the equal division
of the court leaves the whole question open either
to be carried to appeal or to be tried again in
some different form.
It is pleasant to note that in this family dis-
pute, in which so many delicate questions of
honour as well as so much property are involved,
there has been the most entire good feeling dis-
played on both sides. Nor certainly can its ulti-
mate issue, be it what it may, tarnish the per-
sonal honour of either claimant. As to the
mode of trial, which has resulted in so un-
satisfactory a conclusion, Baron MARTIN by en-
tered a characteristic protest. He insists that the
matter should not have been withdrawn from the
consideration of a jury, which he thinks by giv-
ing no reasons gives always satisfaction. But it
may be recalled to his recollection that sometimes
even juries fail to come to agreement, and that
they give as little satisfaction as judges when they
are discharged without returning a verdict. And
certainly on such difficult points as those involved
in this case, when the questions of fact are chiefly
questions of foreign law, and the evidence is not
oral, but has been taken by commission and re-
duced to writing, it would seem that trained
lawyers form a safer and better tribunal than could
be found in the puzzled punderings of merchants,
tradesmen, or farmers.
