THE BEER-HOUBII BYBTIN.

A deputation from the West Riding had an inter-
view with Mr. Secretary Walpole on Friday, at the Home.
office, on the sobject of amended legislation for beer-honer.
The deputation consisted of Viscount Goderioh, M.P., Mr.
Bescroft, M.P., Mr. Collins, M.P., Mr. Headier, M.P.,
the Mayor at Bradford, the Mayor of Halifax, the Bev. Dr.
Hoot, vicar of Leeds, and other gentlemen.

THE PENINSULAR MAILS.

The Alhambra arrived this morning at South-
ampton, with the Peninsular and But India mails.
She left Gibraltar December 15; Cunt, 16, and
Lisbon, 18. The East India mails she has brought
were those taken from the Pen when she
broke down at Gibraltar. The Alhambra
baa also brought home the Pera's pas-
sengers, amongst whom are Colonel Apthorpe,
who was at the defence of Lucknow ; Major Dickens,
who fought for the relief of that residency; Captain
Bayle, who served under Havelock; and Captain
Piokney, who was at the siege and capture of
Delhi, and who is so ill that he has been obliged to
retire from the service. The Pera's mails were the
first outward and inward mail which was conveyed
all the way through Egypt by railway. The

Suez canal is to be commenced next year.

IThe Pen was disabled owing to the screw shaft
betaking off close outside the stern-post, and the
serew consequently fell to the bottom of the sea and
was lost. The accident happened about half-way
between Cabretta Point and Tariffs. The Pert
sailed back to Gibraltar as soon as the accident
happened, and it is expected she will wait them
to be towed home. A similar accident happened to
the Colombo a short time since. The Alhambra, on
her outward voyage, took out the Count de Paris to
Cadiz. From thence ho proceeded to Seville on a
visit to his uncle, the Duke de Montpensier. The
Para met the Enryaltia, with Prince Alfred on
board, between Malta and Gibraltar: all well on
board the Eury►lns. Colonel Shuttlewortn had
relieved Major-General Willis in the command of
the Royal Artillery at Gibraltar. The Spanish
squadron had lett Algesiras. The Alhambra did
not call at Oporto or Vigo. She experienced severe
westerly gales on her homeward passage, and a
heavy sea in the Bay of Biscay. Her Majesty's ship
Vulture was at Gibraltar. _

AUSTRIA.

The Borattdialle of Hamburg contains a letter
from Vienna, which says :
Our affirmation that the Austrian government intended, if
necessary, to occupy Montenegro ham been dieputed ; but it
was perfectly exact. The disturbances in Bosnia and the
share which Montenegro takes in them have been the subject
of various diplomatic conferences not only in ViRlllll bat at
Parts, and Boma de Hubner has made known to the French
cabinet the intentions of Austria with respect to Montenegvo,
on aemost Of the protection which France has for some time
whichsoseded to that petty state, and of the insolence with
that protection has linked Prince Danilo. The
French cabinet does net appear to have been pleased with
that declaration. Neosho*, however, Austria is reinforcing
her troops in Dhoti* end frit be tins that the insurgents
of Bosnia have reteived a reinforcement of 4,000 Montene-
grins, It is very pod& that the occupation of the Bleak
Mountains by some Austrian battalions will soon take place.

DENMARK.

A letter from Copenhagen of the 24th alt. says
that the ministerial crisis which had arisen in that
city had been put an end to by the three ministers,
MM. Andras, Krieger, and Uusgaard, having with-
drawn their resignations, and by the cabinet -having
come to an understanding on the coarse to be
adopted by it in the dispute with the Germanic Diet.

writs letters. We turn to the diary. We read,
May 25, how he had resolved to meet

• TEARFUL INZILOLNCY.
Major Nab, with much feeling, commended the care of
his wife to nee, saying that she would to well content to be
ober. I woe. I forgot to say that in the night, on the
house-top, he bed asked me, as a clergyman, what I should
advise him to do, in we of Ite being certain: that his wife
would fall into the hands of the rebels, and that they would
treat her as they had done the women at Delhi and Meerut.
It was a difficult question but I told him that, if I
were certain that my wife would be so treated, I should shoot
her rather than let ner fell into their hands (Colonel Inglis
afterwards salted me whether I thought his wife would be
justified In killing her own children, rather than let then be
murdered by the natives. I said, no ; for children could but
be killed ; whereas we had been told that at Delhi young do.
boats ladies had been dragged through the streets. violated
by tosnr, and then murdered.)
God forglvems, if I gave wrong adrift I but I Irma:cited;
sad I know at the time I should ben killed Bonnie rather
than have allowed her to be thus dishonoured and tortured
by these bloodthirsty savage idolaters.
On July 8, as he was shaving, Mr. Polehampton
writes " I felt a sudden stunning pain, and, after a
second or two, knew that I had been shot." A doc-
tor was sent for, and the wound was pronounced
not dangeroue. Encouraging entries are made in
the diary, but in a few days it ceases, for
death had come, and the pastor had gone to
his reward. The remaining part of the volume is
filled with the diary and letters of the widow, giving
a grievous picture of the hospital life during the
siege, and of the perilous escape after Lucknow had
been relieved. Even for those who have read all
that has been previously published, it will be found
to contain much of painful interest. There are in-
cidents—and experiences and illustrations of life and
character—to be met with in this book which can
be found nowhere else.

PIEDMONT.

The Opinions of Turin, of the 16th, publishes
some documents relating to the affair of the
Israelite Mortara, including a duly legalised cer-
tificate from a surgeon who for many years has
visited the Mortars family professionally, and
it declares that at the time the servant secretly ad-
ministered baptism to the child it was only
• twelvemonth old, and labouring under a
worm-fever ; that, consequently, the boy was
not, according to the church, of an age at
which baptism could be administered without
the consent of his parents, and that he was not in
•rticulo mortis, another condition required by
the church ; so that, even according to Romish
doctrine, the baptism was illegally administered.
The court of Rome must not be allowed to aide off
upon a false issue. The illegality of the baptism
question is not disputed even by the Univers. The
ground on which it is pretended to justify the rob-
bery of the child is that the baptism, though illegal,
was valid ; and that, therefore, the church cannot
permit a member of its body to be educated out of
its communion.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE PORTUGUESE DIFFICULTY.

The Patti*, in an article on the Portuguese diffi-
culty, explains that the article in the treaty of Paris
recommending that, in cue of a serious difference
between States, they should, before resorting
to arms, seek the good offices of a friendly
Power, is governed by the words "so Was circum-
stances may admit," and therefore is not at all
applicable to the present French quarrel with
Portugal. That, it says, relates to a question of
dignity and honour requiring reparation, and not
leaving any door open for conciliation. It is in-
structed to say that the French ultimatum comprises
three points: the immediate restitution of the Charles
Georges ; the enlargement of the captain sentenced to
two years' imprisonment in irons by the Court of
Mozambique ; and an indemnity, the amount of
which is to be ultimately settled. As to the
first two points the French government
will neither hear of a legal trial delay or good
offices. It will accept of nothing but satisfaction.
As to the third, it is quite willing to accept the
good office of a friendly Power.
It is stated that the French government de-
spatches from Lisbon, which have hitherto been
sent through England by way of Southampton,
will hereafter come by French packets to St.
Nizaire.

THE BRAZILIAN MAIL,

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY.
The Royal Mail Brazilian steam-packet Tyne,
Captain Sawyer, Admiralty Agent Lieutenant
Irwin, R.N., from Lisbon, August 30, has arrived
here with the Brazilian and South American mails.
The dates are from Rio de Janeiro, August 8 ; Bahia,
August 12 ; Pernambuco, August 16 ; Buenos Ayres,
July 28; and Monte Video, July 31. There are
104 passengers, including Madame Anna Bishop,
the vocalist; and the freight includes diamonds to
the amount of 62,3781., with the following specie:
—silver bullion to the value of 2,111 i.; gold bullion,
23,8341. ; gold coin, 78,3041.
The following are the movements of her Majesty's
ships:—Her Majest3's ship Spy was at Buenos
Ayres on the 30th of July, and the following ships
were at Rio at the date of the packet's sailing,
viz.:—Madagascar, with the flag of Rear-Admiral
Sir J. Lushiogton, Wasp, and Siren. The Harriet
left for the River Plate on the 3rd of August. The '
squadron was healthy, with the exception of a few
cues of influenza.

The following is our Rio correspondent's letter:
"RIO DB JANIERO, Atom 8.
" The ministerial crisis ha. paned over and I
have nothing new to report in the politics of Rio
de Janeiro. A sad disaster happened in our port on
the 6th ultimo, Mr. W. T. Dovey, an English mer.
chant, well known and highly respected, both here
and in your capital, was invited by the commander
of the Madagascar frigate to dine on board that
vessel. The boat conveying him and his two nieces,
Min San and Miss Charlotte Whorrad, was en.
fortunately capsized, and the latter young lady and
her attendant, • negrese of twelve years of age,
were drowned. Captain Leycester and his off:ons
have been indefatigable in their endeavours to
recover the bodies of the two unfortunate victims,
but u yet without success. This event is univer-
sally regretted here.
" In Ex:dung° about 560,0001. have been nego-
elated for this conveyance. 460,0001. at 26d.; the
balance at 251 d. and 261 d.

THE NORTH GERMAN BANE.
(55011 A CORIZAIPOWDIIIIT.)
HAMBURG, Arany? 31.
For row months past an agitation has been carried
trz a considerable number of the shareholders of
do North German Bank of Roseburg, for the pur-
ple of calling a general meeting to make some =-
want alterations in the Statutes of the Association,
nth a view to enhance the value of the shares,
.btch, with a paid op capital of 20,000,000 of marks
woo, hoes been lamentably at a discount ever eines
tile panic of last Autumn. This agitation, which was
set re foot by shareholders at Berlin, Leipzig, and
btosr parts of Germany, enunciated the principle
dot the capital of the bank was much too large to
be edeostuponaly employed in ordinary quiet dines
;,le the present, when the rate of discount for Ant-
rim bills is not more than 1 per cent- per annum r
said proposed to reduce the capital to one-half its
present amount by paying off one-half of the shame
st peer, though at the time the quotations were not
mere than 80. or 82. Them malcontents com-
bined to organise a serious opposition, and a Com-
mittee was formed here to prosecute the object in
Tim. This they did in the first instance by signing
e requeition to the Board of Directors, in accordance
with the I.3rd paragraph of the bye-laws (which
beds the Directors to call a special general meeting
dun shareholders upon the requiaition of at least
ppp proprietors bolding shares to the amount of
I,ooo.ooBectively), to convene a public meeting.
As the Board declined to accede to the Requisition,
the malcontents instituted law proceedings, and
claimed the authority of the Tribunal of Commerce
to compel the Directors to es/1 the mean is Waif
te take the seam of the proprietors on the
redutioo of the capital. This was is lErles:t.
The Court took time to consider the ease, and
adjourned their decision till after their sum-
ea vacation. This latter being now meoluied,
they have published their verdict, which is that
although there is some technical informality in the
fell powers delegated to the legal representative of
tke plaintiffs who conducts their cause,which renders
nieumbengoa them to tarnish himself with other and
more ample authority, yet in principle they me ocie-
net, and that oonsequestly the Board are heeled to
conveoe the meeting and lay before the same any
propositios required. This decision is considered
tare satisfactory, and the quotations of the shares of
the North German Bank have advanced to 90j, at
which price they are is great request

MEETING OP TER GBOOBAY TBADE.

Great dissatisfaction having prevailed for a long
period in both branches of the groosr7 trade, wholesale and
retail and in the refining as to the allowed tares of
particular descriptions of sugar, particularly Barbados, sad
in the mode of sampling, a meeting of the trade took piece
yesterday in the Commercial Sale Rooms. There was a
Ltrge attendance.
Mr. Mons was called to the chair, and in opening the
proceedings stated his opinion that the contemplated move-
ment of the trade should be confined to Barbadian auger, sit
wee in a more manageable position than tho more extended
question, in consequence of the importation of Barbados
sugar being confined to a few houses. If it were though
neoeseery, the inquiry might sharers:di be extended. Th
suggestion st present was that revenue tares should
allowed with ells. extra.
Mr. Menncarrns was decidedly of opinion that the h.

qtdry should be of a more general thsraor and weer*
certain that if they confined themselves to Barbsdas dist
they would have all their work to do over a
moved a resolution, seconded by Mr. Browne, er:la the is
of Badgett and Co., that the inquiry should extend to lb.
condo sager.
Afrer a desultory conversation, in which Messrs. Williams,
Miller, and Fermer took part, the resolution and an amend-
ment moved by the last-named gentleman were withdraws,
and the following carried unanimously That this meet-
ing, representing the dealers in sugar, desires to record in
opinion that the samples by which rome descriptions d
Muscovado sugar are at present sold in the London market,
end the tares allowed, are not satisfsctory ; that a committee
be appointed I. Investigate the subject, and take sorb steps
as they shall deem desirable for the interests of the wade"
Proper(' by Mr. livinunsore, seconded by Mr. lin-
•• That a member of each of the uadermentioned
arras be ea the committee, with power to add to the num-
ber :—Meems. Budgett and Co., Darby and Co., Rdmeads,
Forum, said Co.. Fleet Brothers, Bardcastle and Co., Ha-
demon and Co., Hicks, Baylis, and Co., and Williams sal

Any member of the trade having a suggestion to make
the committee is requested to address it to the care of M.

THAMES.
Mr. C 1646, cooper, residing in Limehonse, appeared before
Mr. Yardley un a summons taken out by Mr. Rateliff, the
clerk of the Limehouse District Board of Works, to show
cause why he should not be compelled to pay the sum of
191. as. 3d., being his proportion of the expenses of paving
Northey-street, in the parish of St. Anne, Liniehouse, under ,
the jurisdiction of the board.
Mr. John Booty inspector of nuisance in the Limehonas
district, said that Northey.street was paved in 1856. Mr.
Ctubb was the owner of several houses there, and the bill
for paving was delivered to him in April, 1857.
Mr. Chubb, in demos, said he was not in a position to
dispute his liability, bat he had an otjrction to the amount,
which was very unreasonable and very heavy.
Mr. Bailiff, in vindication of the Board of Works, said
that one-third of the cost of paving Notthey-street was paid
by the board out of the parish rates.
The defendant said ha houses were mortgaged, and his
circutuptiumes were such that he could not pay the money.
Mr. Yardley—You ought not to speculate in building
houses if you cannot afford to pay fur the paving of the
street in which they are situate.
The defendant made an offer to pay the amount claimed by
instalments of 255. per month.
Mr. Ratcliff—The money has been owing since April, 1857.
Mr. Yardley could not agree to any compromise, or to the
money being paid by inetalments. He should simply make
an order fur immediate payment of the sum claimed, and if
the board asked for a minute of that ordei and required a
warrant to enforce payment he should grant one. He asked
if costs were demanded m till,. ewe

Mr. Ratcliff—No, air; u the defendant Is so poor the
board will not ark ior outs. We shall be Paddled with the
191. 3s. 3d.. the amount apportioned to the defendant.
Mr. Yardley told the defendant that the board had acted
with great forbearance towards him, and that if oasts had
been asked for he should have given them.

from Berlin :

" BERLIN, TIIIIIDAY. 10.37

" At a separate sitting of both Chambers this day,
a message was received from the Prince Regent,
informing them that his royal highness will take
the oath prescribed in Art. 58 of the Constitution
before the members of both houses, and requesting

SWITZERLAND.

BERNE, Ocr. 23.

The conflict between Geneva and the central au-
thority is arranged in a friendly manner. The
Genevese authorities, after consulting the Grand
Council and obtaining its assent, has come to the
following agreement:—Five of the suspected indi-
viduals are to leave Switzerland, but their departure
is in a sense voluntary, for they have consented to
the arrangemeat. They will receive a subsidy from
the federal funds to pay their travelling expenses.
Five other refugees having promised to be very cir-
cumspect in their conduct, will be allowed to remain
in Geneva. The three remaining suspected persons
having concealed themselves, will be sought for by
the police of all the cantons, and expelled when
found. Thus is terminated, without resort to force
by the central authority, a conflict which has coos-
'gonad considerable excitement during the last
fortnight, not only in Switzerland but in foreign
countries.

SHARE LISTS-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoaL

The railway share market to-day is somewhat
dull, and in some cases rather lower prices are
current. Great Western stock has declined to
69 to 1, and Lancashire and Yorkshire to 951 to 98.
London and North Western is quoted 99 to 1;
Midland, 931 to 1 ; London and South Western,
49 to I per share ; Eastern Counties, 121 to f ;
and Great Northern, 241 to 25 ; Caledonian is very
buoyant.
Indian railway shares are in some O&M a little
flatter, bat, upon the whole, no important effect
has been produced in this department of the
market by the telegraphic news just to hand from
India. Canadian shares are fairly supported. Paris
and Lyons; are in demand. In other foreign de-
scriptions the alteration is not of striking importance.
