IPATAL AOCIDINT ro A BARRISTER IN THE

TEMPLE.-(THIS DAY.)

We regret to have to announce the death, under
eircumetancee of a very melancholy character, of Mr.
Charles Newton, a barrister, who hatfor several years
attended the Northern Circuit.
It appears that the deceased gentleman resided at his
chambers at No. 5, Brick-court, Temple, and that
het eveniog, whets a friend of hi called in to
see him, he complained of being newel!, and he
stated to his friend (Dr. Reed) that be felt very feverish.
Dr. tied remained with him for some time but left him
at 10 o'clock. The deceased wee sot mesa alive after
that time. This morning, at ea early hoar. Mr.
Look foiled him lying at the bottom of the
flight of stairs leading to the chambers occupied
he the deceased. Mr. Lock instantly called the
attention of the police to the fact, and they removed the
Inlf"tellate gentleman to his chambers. Dr. Reed was
sent for, and he pronounced life to be extinct.
It,ie ittiMosed that while the demised gentleman was
walking down the stairs in the dark he Mead his footing
on what is celled cue of the three cornered stem of the
staircase, and that he was then pitched fora ad and Taal
• great force upon his head. His death must have been
ammotaascar.
Th. dammed was unmarried, and his family, who maids
Yorkthire, bays been communicated with this morning.
The nsfortunate gentleman, who was well known amoagsl
the members of the legal profession, wm called to tits bee

LONDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY n.

Tax few words addressed to the House of Com-
mons by Mr. THOMAS Huouzs on the motion to
read the Metropolitan and St. John's-wood Rail•
way Bill a second time will, it may be hoped,lbe
taken as a warning to companies proposing the
wholesale destruction of small houses in London
that in future their Bills will be examined in Par-
liament with increasing regard to the interests of
the struggling poor, to whom expulsion from their
homes is one of the greatest of calamities. The
Railway Bill jest named doe, not threaten the
public interest exactly at this point, having been
questioned in the House of Commons okielly be-
cause it involved the sacrifice of twanti-nine acres
of Hampstead-heath, at present dedicated to re-
creation; bat there is an acknowledged reciprocity
in all the various modes in which the public is
concerned in measures which abridge the secu-
rities for health and happiness, rod interests
which have a common point of union may reckon
on the same defenders. The powers which the
Legislature has conferred upon railway com-
panies for taking possession of the land
necessary for lines which it has sanc-
tioned are despotic and enormous. When
the general Act from wnich they are derived
we, passed, no such sweeping demolit'ons as we
have witnessed in London during the lasi four or
five years were so mar% as dreamed of. Parliament
had at that time a most inadequate conception of
the imperial grandeur of the ideas of oar engineers
and the enterprise of our contractors. It was
never imagined that a company of surveyors might
be sent into a neighbourhood, and emit in a mouth
afterwards a population equal to that of a small
town would be served with notice to quit. Any
one who wishes to see the scale upon weioh Vie
destruction of house property is being carried on at
the present moment has only to make a journey to
King's-cross and take a five minutes' walk up the
Old St. Pancras-road. He will there see hundreds
of houses, lately tenanted by the poor, empty and
marked for destruction, in order to make wag for
a railroad with its terminal station. And this is
only a specimen of what is going on in different
parts of the metropolis. What is to become of
the people turned out of their homes nobody
knows, and it is nobody's business to inquire. Nor
is any attempt made to repair the injury that is
done to the expelled population. The law which
secures compensation to owners, and, under
certain circumstances, to occupiers of pro-
perty, takes no account of the residential
value of the habitation of the weekly tenant,
however many years he may have lived on
the same spot. Hundreds of families have been
turned oat of their homes, to find themselves
competing with others in the same situation for
lodgings in the yearly diminishing number of

TEST INTELLIGENCE.

LAND QUICRAOR IN SOUTH ITALY.
a„apondent of the Temps writes as follows

from Florence
Tranquillity is not restored in Sicily. In addition to
certain vague rumours which have arrived here, we read In
the official Journal of Palermo " that alarming reports
are circulating in the country, and that the authorities are
endeavouring to find out the authors of these false but
still dangerous rumours." Whether the authorities may
succeed or not for the moment, the Sicilian question and
the question of brigandage on the Neapolitan continent
will remain for a long time very serious. The south of
Italy—it must be spoken out—is afflicted with a social evil
--agricultural pauperism. In the Abruzzi, in Apulia, and
the Campagna, and in the larger part of Sicily lads of 20
cannot earn, do what they will, more than from seventeen
to twenty sons. There is some exception to this statement
where there are railway works going on. But public
works, though even on a larger scale than are
going on, would not solve the problem. The chief
remedy lies in a transformation of the conditions
of land tenure. An immense portion of the real property
of the south is in a deplorable 'Some feudal lords,
foe the most part of niggardly habits, possess entire
' tricts, and provided they get ►certain amount of rent they
are satisfied. They must have so much, and it does not
matter to them what the soil could produce in addition.
They are, therefore, content to see the land,
fertile land, devoted to pasturage, from which they
derive very small profits. For this labourers are not
necessary, the landlords are satisfied, and every thing is as
it should be. Yes, but the lads of 20 having nothing to
take guns andbeoome brigands. There are generalswho take
and shoot them and there are liberal ionrnals in Italy and
Paris which say that, "When the Bourbons are gone all
will be right." No, the problem is too serious, for it is a
social problem, a problem all the more serious for the
" right of doing what one likes with one's own ;"
the right of property, is in question. What is
to be done in the face of three proprietors, who possess the
whole valley of the Seas—the river of Spartacus—between
Moll and Paestum, and who out of land that with good
husbandry would yield 100, get but 10 from the simple
pasture of cattle ? Here is a whole region given over to a
lay mortmain—s mortmain more absurd than that of the
clergy, for it is leas charitable, giving no church festivals
and no soup to those whom it irritates and destroys. The
same state of things exists in Apulia;onlyon ssoslefar more
vast. The peasant lives like his hog. This is not my statement
merely ; it is admitted by the brigandage commission, by
X. hiassari, one of the most moderate publicists in Italy.
The young men of 20 break out into brigandage from the
misery which surrounds them. In their homesteads they
have acquired the passions of beasts, and in the transports
of hatred they sometimes become cannibals. I have seen
them shot like dogs. I know them well, but you will never
put them down till you go to the root of the evil.

most of the daily papers I observe a
telegram dated Constantinople, stating that 3,000 Cretan
insurgents who had taken refuge in the caves of Melidoni
were drowned by the rising tide. Allow me, in justice to
humanity, to inform your readers that in Camila there is no
tide. Lord Byron called the Mediterranean a tideless sea;
and besides, if there were one it would never reach Meli-
doni, as it lies high up in the mountains ; therefore the loss
of the 3,000, and also the submersion of the insurgents,
must be a fabrication emanating from Constantinople.—

1,165,080 L in the government deposits, and it is
worthy of remark that this has oceitlieseal
a decreame of almost equal amount—via. , 1,163,329 L
—in the reserve. Although the Bank hoe received
a sum of upwards of 700,0001. through the di-
minution in government and private securities,
the gain which it would have derived
from these sources has been completely
neutralised by the withdrawal of 900.1431. of pri-
vate deposits. A-portion of these withdrawals were
' probably intended to meet payments incidental
to the season, but it is also believed that the Bank's
restrictive policy affects this item of the accounts,
I both by causing withdrawals of money by country
; bankers, and by preventing the return of hoarded
notes. The import and export movement of the
week result in an addition to the Bank stock of
specie and bullion, but the present return shows
a small decrease fur the purposes of the internal
circulation, owing to the numerous government
and other payments at the turn of the half-ycar.

THE ABYSSINIAN PRISONERS.

Mr. WHITESIDE asked whether the government had
information to communicate with respect to the Abyssinian
captives ?
Mr. LAYARD stated that a telegram had been received
by the government from the Consul-General at Alexandria
announcing that Mr. Flsdd, the German missionary, who
had been detained in Abyssinia, was now at Alexandria,
on Lis way to England withdespatchesfrow Mr. Bassani. He
Fathered from the telegram that the King, before allow-
ing the captives to leave Abyssinia, was desirous of an
assurance from this government that no steps would be
taken for obtaining reparation for his conduct towards
those whom he had thrown into prison. Of course he did
not know what information the despatches contained, but
it appeared that these gentlemen had been treated with
great kindness by the King, and he trusted there would be
only a short delay before the captives—the missionaries—
were allowed to leave the country. But in a few days the
fullest information would be received. Letters had been
written by his directions to the friends of the captives
stating the facts he had mentioned.

THE BATTLE OF KOI RATZ.
The 3rd of July, on which the battle of !Conk-.
gratz was fought, will be famous in the annabroi
the military history of Prussia. On that day the
battle, which was to decide the long disputed
supremacy of Austria or Prussia in Germany was
fought, and the accounts which have arrived
up to the present, though incomplete,' leave no
doubt that a decisive victory was gained by
the latter. The Prussian armies of the Oder and
the Elbe having effected a junction above Joseph-
stadt, were enabled to act in harmony. On the
morning before the battle, the King and the Prince
Royal met at Mileten, a town situated midway be-
tween Gitechin and Skalitz. The principal point
of the conflict appears to have been at Sadowa, a
village on the right of the Elbe and north-west of
Koniggratz. The Austrian army was drawn up on
the right bank of the river resting on the fortress
of Koniggratz. The Austrians fought bravely and
gained several partial advantages, but by night
Benedek was thrown back on the Elbe,
which he crossed, moving in the direction
of Hohenbruck, along the valley of the
Adler, a rapid river which falls into the Elbe at
Koniggratz. The retreat of the Austrians towards
Hohenbruck shows that their object is to strike
upon the line of railway which runs east of Pardu-
bitz to Bohm Tribau, where it divides into a double
line—one running directly south by Briinn to
Vienna ; the other making a semi-circular detour
in a south-eastern direction till it re-unites
with the former at Lundenburg. The northern and
western railway lines being in the power of the
Prusaiana, we may soon expect to hear of their
being in possession of the fortified towns of Joseph-
stadt, Koniggratz, and Prague, the capital of Bohe-
mia. If Benedek should feel himself strong enough
he may possibly take up a new defensive position
between Landscron on the east and Leitomisehl
on the south-west of the railway line. In this
position he would be admirably placed for receiv-
ing fresh supplies of troops from Vienna, Hungary,
and Galicia. A glance at the map will
enable anyone to see how important it is that
this position should be defended unless the
Austrian military authorities should decide
to abandon Moravia as well as Bohemia to
the enemy, and resolve to make their final ,
defence of the empire before Vienna itself. This,
of course, will depend altogether on whether Prus-
sia declines the proposed armistice, and determines
to carry out,without relaxation, the threat that her
press made before the war commenced, of forcing
the pivot of the empire from Vienna to Perth.

2dINISTBRIAL ARRANGEMENTS.

Earl RUSSELL said, in consequence of the new ministry
not being quite completed, he had been requested by the
Earl of Derby to move that all public business be post-
poned till Monday next.
Lord BROUGHAM did not rise to oppose the motion,
but to express his utmost horror at the present state of
Europe, and of the cruel and un-Christian-like conduct of
so many of the powers. Thousands and tens of thousands
of persons were gathered together for the sake of commit-
ting murder or being themselves murdered. Never was
Europe in such a state before ; but he must add,
in fairness to Austria, that she had been the
only one whose conduct was defensible. Italy
had not a particle of right to take Venetia. The
Venetians had the right to throw off the yoke of a foreign
power. In this grave state of things it was stated that
Austria had ceded Venetia to France, who had been a by•
strode:, and he hoped that whoever won, or whoever robbed
or lost, the people of France would be unanimous in opinion
that that country should be in favour of peace, and he also
hoped that nothing would occur to interrupt the progress
of the new negotiations. An armistice had been called for
by the Emperor, and he hoped it would be followed by a
oongresa His own opinion was that the territory of
Venetia should not belong to Italy, but that it should be
a free country—free from a foreign yoke.
The motion was agreed to.

THE BATTLES IN BOHEMIA.

The military correspondent of the Times accom-
panying the Prussian ar.ny in Bohemia sends
further sketches of events down to the morning
of the 30th ult., at which date he was at Sobotka
At the combat at Munchengratz the Austrian
soldiers who were taken belonged chiefly to Italian
regiments, and showed no disposition to fight.
Twenty-five men in ono mass laid down their
arms to a single lieutenant and half a doven
trained soldiers. At this fight, by a 'erica of
strategic movements, Prince FrJderick Charles
gained about 12 miles of country, took a thousand
prisoners, turned the strong position of the Kac-
zowberg, and effected his secure junction with the
corps of General Bittenfeld.
On the evening of the 29th tho commander of
the first Prussian army moved his headquarters
from Mur.chengratz to Sob Aka. On the advance to
Gitschin a strong Austrian force held a wood,
and its sharpshooters, hidden behind the trunks
of the fir trees, together with some batteries behind
the wood, commenced a biting fire against the
Prussian advanced guard as they approached a
ravine. Behind each Austrian marksman two
soldiers were placed whose only duty it was to load
their rifles and hand them to the picked men to
whom the work was entrusted. As tile Prussians
were falling fast, General von Weider sent his men
forward to take the woods with the bayonet.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—Bnaproan, JULY s.—There
has been a more hopeful tone pervading the wool market
during the present week, and this feeling is decidedly
more apparent this morning, on the receipt of news which
tends to encourage the hope that peace may be restored c.n
the continent. The inquiries for wool during the week,
and especially this morning, have been much more frequent.
But with this evident desire to operate, though there is
an unwillingness to give the prices sought, there is an
indisposition on the part of many wodstsplers to do
business. Some,who are sanguine as to peace, thinking that
the tendency must be upward, ask higher rates and
others, who had found they could not realise, the
prices sought in the country, are almost without stocks,
and are little disposed to do business at the low rates
which have been recently current. The result, therefore,
is, that though there is more inquiry, and a better feeling,
yet the amount of business done is not appreciably greater
than it was. There is a feeling prevalent that if peace is
near, prices have seen the lowest point, and revival of
trade is not far distant. In this market there is, if any-
thing, a alight relief from the stagnation which has
so long prevailed. Merchants are looking round
for low offers in shipping yarns, though ap-
parently not disposed to operate unless an advan-
tage can be secured ; and spinners, hopeful that
quotations have reached the lowest point, are not so
readily dealt with as they were. The home trade is only
quiet. In pieces the operations of the week have been on
the most limited scale. There is • better tone amongst
those engaged in this trade, but little disposition at pre-
sent to do business of a speculative character. The home
trade is quieter, and the American houses are not
placing fresh orders. Prices are, if anything, firm.

LACE AND HOSlKEY.—Novrineruw, JULY 5.

NORWICH.

A great " mass meeting" to consider the present
state of the reform question was held last evening in
St. Andrew's-ball, iu this city. Far more excitement
appears to prevail on the subject since the rejection of
the ministerial bill than was elicited on its introduc-
tion ; and Norwich has been all alive, two large proces-
sions, embracing bands of music, banners, &c., having
passed through the streets from St. Augustine's, at one
end of the town, and St. ('atlierine's-plain, a large open
space in a completely opposite suburb. Both these pro-
cessions converged upon St. Andrew's-hall. Sir W.
Russell, Bart., M.P., and Mr. K Warner, M.P., the
members for Norwich, accepted invitations to attend.
The meeting was enthusiastic, and resolutions express-
ing confidence in the late ministry, and an intention to
continue the reform agitation, were adopted unanimously.

NEW YORK, JUNE 27, MORNING.

Fifteen Fenian prisoners have been committed to
gaol at Sweetaburg, Canada, in order to await their
final trial, which will be commenced in a few
days.
A Fenian meeting was held on Sunday in the
vicinity of Jones'-wood. It was addressed by James
Stephens, who declared that Roberts and Sweeney
were not in concert. On Monday night a Fenian
mass meeting was held in Union-square. Roberta
spoke, and in the course of his remarks said
that the next time the Fenian,' moved it
would be with an impetus that no power could
withstand. A letter from Horace Greeley express-
ing sympathy with the Fenian cause was read to
the meeting. Resolutions were adopted declaring
that " the truckling of the Federal Executive and
the Secretary of State to the designs of European
monarchists merits the strongest reprobation. "
The Senate has passed the bill to continue in
force for two years the Freedmen's Bureaux. The
bill now goes to the House of Representatives for
concurrence.

In reply to the late resolution of the house the
President has sent to Congress a list of all Ameri-
can citizens reported to have arrived in Ireland
since the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act.

The National Union Club has issued a call for
a national union convention on August 14th, to

Mr. Seward is rumoured to have concluded a
secret treaty with the Emperor Napoleon, the
understanding being that the United States should
observe strict neutrality and non-intervention in
the affairs of Mexico. After the withdrawal of the
French, Maximilian would secure his election as
President, and would afterwards declare himself
Emperor thus avoiding the Monroe doctrine.
Mr. Schrockmarton (conservative) has been
elected Governor of Texas, receiving nine-tenths
