Fiannall, on a warrant charging him with unlawfully o•
Wining, on March 29, IRlr., from one Henry Kinder
valuable security—to wit, a banker's draft fur 100/ ; ;;!
also for obtaining, on April 10, DOA, another bask,
draft for 200/. from Henry Kimber, with intent to &int.
The accused was charged on s second warrant with L:
lawfully, knowingly, wilfully, and corruptly making
false declaration in lieu of an caith before Mr. Philip Sul:.
Con, a London commissioner to administer oaths is C•
Court of Chancery, well knowing the same to be entre.
many material particular.., contrary to the statute.
Mr. Warner Sleigh was in attendance on the part of
mimed.
Mr. Baker Green, who appeared for the pneecuti,
stated that originally a summons had been obtained is
court against the defendant for making a false Serb a.
tion, but in consequence of that summons nut dm
been obeyed, a warrant had been granted apinst kin iu
the month of May last. To that and the other ',Mint :be

Baker Green) was instructed on the part of th,
prosecutor, not to offer any evidence in sup of
either of the charges. The circumstances were pekah„.
There bad been certain representations made beta
accused in reference to property belonging to him in
Cheshire, which were supposed to be false, but by a hill
being tiled in the Court of Chancery it had been facto
that these representations were is the man true, 144
the civil proceedings had been successful, ft was not
thought desirable to proceed criminally with mom to
these charges and therefore he was instructed to say that
these proceedings would now be abandoned.
The Lord Mayor complained that the warrant had been
obtained from him in a manner of which he could not
approve.
Mr. Baker Green said that since the issue of the warrant
it bad been ascertained that the commissioner before whom
the declaration had been made had been unable to identify
the accused as the person who had made it, and beam
prosecution would be useless.
The Lord Mayor observed that this ought to have ben
ascertained before the warrants bad been asked for and
obtained.

accused that he would have appeared to the summits bat
that be had been struck down with paralysis, and gads!
the advice of his medical attendants had gone abroad for
the recovery of his health. On its comparative restoratio:
he had returned to England and had surrendered himself,
and as no evidence had been offered • him, he had to
ask that the accused be now discharged.
The Lord Mayor complained in strong terms of the
abuse that had been made of the process of the court, bet
said as no evidence was adduced to support the proem.
Lion, his only coarse was to discharge the defendant.

THE IRISH CHURCH.

The Irish church, admitted by statesmen of all
parties to be in theory a serious grievanoe, cannot, the
Tiers assumes, be cured by any mere redistribution of
revenues within the established church itself. It is the
relation of the protestant establishment to the Roman
catholic people, and the alleged claims of the latter to
state aid for their spiritual instrnction, which constitute
the whole case. The alternative which is most likely, in the
opinion of the Tines, to find acceptance with the public is
an independent provision for the Roman catholic priests,
whose average incomes now received would form the
natural standard of the public grant. This payment of
the priests may, as • financial question, be favourably
entertained by i arliament at no distant time. No doubt
it is quite inconsistent with Lord Cairns' definition of the
proper basis for • state endowment of religion, and can
only be justified on the opposite view that it is the duty
of the state to provide for the religious instruction of the
people in the best practicable way. That view may or
may not be tenable by a casuist, but the penalty of reject-
ing it is that we have an ultramontane, though devoted
clergy, and a credulous, though moral people.
The Post discards the plan which would abolish the
church establishment altogether, and prefers to it the
maintenance of the church, but with a partition of its
revenues with the Roman catholic church. When the re-
sult. of the royal commissioners are in our hands this solu-
tion may then be hoped for.

Both the Herald and Standard are severe upon Earl
Russell ; and on the subject matter which he brought into
discussion they adopt the opinions of Lord Cairns. The
Herald insists that the revenue of the EitablishedChurch
in Ireland depends upon ancient endowments, which are
as much the property of this church as the income of any
English lord or squire can be said to be his own.

CLOSE OF THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS.
MESSAGE FROM THE KLNG.
BERLIN, TM 24.
At the sitting of the Upper House to-day, 119
members being present, the draft of the North
Germ= Constitution was unanimously passed.
The close of the present session of the Prussian
Diet took place at 3p. m. Baron von der Heydt,
the Minister of Finance, read a message from the
King, of which the following is a summary :—" His
Majesty thanks the Chambers for the adoption of
the constitution, and announces that it will be
immediately proclaimed in all the States of the
Confederation. While North Germany will hence-
forth constitute a closely connected union of States,
the national community, which already secures the
protection of German territory, will also be ex-
tended to the commercial life of the German people.
The Zollverein, the foundation of which formerly
marked the commencement of the united develop-
ment of Germany, will be brought into harmony
with the vital conditions of the North German
Confederation. Thanks to the moderation and the
love of peace of all the Powers success has been
attained in guarding the peaceful development
of European effairsj from interruption. The
friendly and confidential relations existing between
the King and the sovereigns of powerful neigh-
bouring States afford the prospect in every direc-
tion of the blessings of peace continuing to be
undisturbed. A powerful guarantee is supplied by
the fact that the wish and aim of the government
will constantly be directed towards specially em-
ploying the importance and power of the newly
strengthened commonwealth in securing the bene-
fits of peace."

BERLIN, JeNE 24.
The King inspected the troops to-day, in corn-
with the Grand Duke Wladimir, the latter

Imperial Highness will leave for Ems, where ho
will stay for several weeks. It is stated that the
Queen of Prussia will visit Paris incognita for a
few days.

BERLIN, Jogs 24, EvrxiNa.
The New Prussian (Crass) Gazette of this evening
says, " It is stated that the French government is

ground that the senate exclusively had not the power of

COMMERCIAL AND MARKET&

MARK-LANE.-(THIS DAY.)
Compared with Monday, the general aspect of the trade
was without material alteration. The fresh receipts of
wheat from Essex and Kent, coastwise as well as by rail,
were limited. The advance obtained on Monday was well
supported, although the transactions were quite of a retail
character.
The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat.
For all descriptions the trade ruled firm at the recent
enhancement in the quotations.
Floating cargoes of grain commanded full prices, with a
healthy demand.
Very little English or foreign barley was on sale. The
trade, consequently, was steady, at full currencies.
Malt supported previous quotations, but the demand
was by no means active.
In oats, sales progressed steadily, on former terms.
Beans were in moderate supply and sluggish request, at
late rates.
Peas were difficult to sell, at previous quotations.
The dour trade was steady, and price, ruled fine.
Linseed and rapeseed were firm. Agricultural seeds
were in moderate request,

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

Sittings at Nisi Prius in Middlesex.—(Before Mr. Justice
Wiles and a Common Jury.)
LAVIIG4 r. FRANKS.
. _

The plaintiff in this case, Dr. Lanes, on the 29th May
last, bought of the defendant, a dealer in horses, a gre
mare, for 40 guineas ; but on the 11th August he returned
her upon the ground that she was not " quiet to drive in
double and single harness," as when sold she was warranted
to he. The present action was to recover hack the pur-
chase money paid for the animal.
Mr. Lush and Mr. Cave appeared for the plaintiff, and
Mr. Serjeant Robinson and Mr. Daly for the defendant.
The plaintiff's case was that, having purchased the mare,
she was sent to his stables in Warwick-mews, and all the
time she remained at that place there was great difficulty
with her. No one man could put her to without as-
sistance, because she kicked, jumped, reared, and plunged,
and, indeed, did almost everything but stand still. Some-
times she would not start at others she started too soon,
and for a short time was frequently beyond control. On
one occasion she could not kept to the roadway on
leaving the mews, but got the carriage upon the pavement,
and it took five men to prevent it being upset, and on
another occasion she made a plunge and knocked down
the coachman's wife who was rendering some &onetime.
The defence was tint the mare was perfectly quiet before
she went to the plaintiff's stable ; and it was believed that
something in connection with the stable caused her to be
I uneasy there. After she was returned she fetched 36
guineas at Aldridge's, and again got into the defendant's
hands. He void her to Mr. Potter, who had her two or
three months, after which she passed into the possession of
a gentleman who had her still. During all this time she
I was quiet, and she was quiet also whilst waiting from 10
to 3 in Palace-yard yesterday for the inspection of the jury.
The jury found for the plaintiff—damages 40/.

sort of connoisseurship in death and agony which
the spectacle creates, aro inexpressibly demonalis-
ing, whether the criminal dies " game " or in a
paroxysm of fear. The demoralizing effect of
public executions is pretty generally admitted, and
Ithe incident of yesterday will strengthen the de-
mand for their abolition. But the publicity of capi-
tal punishments, and the exemplary character which
such publicity gives them, have hitherto been con-
sidered to be their chief -eecommendation as instru-
ments of prevention. Executions in private will not
be demoralizing ; but it is doubtful whether theywill
be deterrent. The moral effect of the punishment of
death on the criminal is a secondary matter, into
which human insight can penetrate but a little
way, and which lies mainly outside the sphere of
human justice. But the violent disturbance of
the mental balance which is displayed in struggles
and resistance, and which must often be simply
hidden under the enforced calm of stronger
organizations, do not indicate the mood in which
a fellow-creature about to leave the world sliould
be deliberately placed. An hour's panic may
undo the effects of a month's or a year's counsel
and reflection.

legislature resolved to intervene, government could obtain,
on the mint terms, the capital that the tompenies cannot
obtain at all ; it could also put down at OM. the reckless
speculation of railway jobbers. It could, therefore, ensure
for these enterprises what they meet require—ample credit
and security from fraudulent competition. The Telegraph
believes that it could carry out this intervention without
risking a single shilling, and could at once save railway
creditors from loss, railway shareholders from utter ruin,
and the travelling public from the practical dangers that
must inevitably follow financial derangement.

LATEST INTELLIGENOL

TOW LUXEMBURG QUESTION. •
The Minwrial Diplomatique mentions as a widely
circulated report that England has not merely con-
fined herself to expressing an opinion on the
treaties of 1839, which is absolutely contrary to
that of the Berlin cabinet, but has strongly
urged that the Luxemburg question should
be settled in a sense the most conformable
to the wishes of the population and the in-
terests of France. The same journal learns "from
a sure source" that England, Austria, and Russia,
unanimously admit, contrary to the opinion of
Prussia, that the guarantee stipulated by the'
treaties of 1839 cannot authorise Prussia to occupy
the fortress of Luxemburg.
According to the Indipendance Beige, France has
simply laid the facts before the parties to the
treaties of 1839 without asking for their interven-
tion or arbitration, and says that these powers,
especially England, are working with laudable
zeal to find a solution which would be accepted by
the parties interested.

The Paris correspondent of the same journal
says :

The hopes of peace which the French press have indulged
in since Friday do not prevent the armaments
from being urged forward with the greatest vigour. The
reserves have been called into the depots and leaves
of absence are entirely suspended. Six regiments h►ve been
called from Algeria. The transport Le Var, after
having landed the 82nd of the line at Port Vendre,
left Toulon, where it took in coals, ou the 13th for Oran,
where it is to embark the 2nd Hussars. The fibre ar-
rived at Marseilles on the 13th with the 7th of the line.
The Aveyron and Ardilche are also employed in bringing
troops.

REMARKS.

An increase of barometrical pressure has been general, more
especially in the north. The winds hare veered • little, and
am light to moderate. The weather is One In the north and
east, but overcast elsewhere.

According to some of the Constantinople advice'
a coalition has been formed between " Young Turkey"
and the high Mussulman clergy. A constitutional govern-
ment, equality of races, and control of the public power,
are preached in all mosques, the example being cited of
Mahomet and the greatest caliphs. The influence thus
brought to bear upon the masses is very great.

A census has been taken of the number of graves
in the national cemeteries where those who perished in
the war with the Southern Confederacy are buried. At
Nashville there are 18,000 graves ; at Vicksburg, 15,000 ;

DE MFANIL r. DAKIN.

This sr:.s an action against the Sheriff of London for a
false arrest. tried before the Lord Chief Justice at Middle-
sex. when the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for
70,., with leave reserved to move to reduce the verdict to
20:. The sheriff had arrested Baron Herman de Mesnil
instoui of Baron Oscar, against whom the writ was issued
at the suit of Mr. Merrick, saddler, dm., for goods sup-
plied for n. race-horse, the property of Baron Oscar.
Mr. Quain, Q.V., moved for a rule to reduce the
damages. The real defence was that Baron Herman had
allowed himself to be addressed and passed as Baron
Oscar. though the evidence negatived it. The ground
upon which he moved the court was, that the sheriff,
having received had paid it into court, and that the
court ordered it to be paid over to Mr. Merrick; con-
sequently. he contended that the plaintiff could not re-
cover from the sheriff money which he bad paid over
under eutt,pulsiou of law.
Rule granted.
The court then proceeded with the new trial paper, and
tan: the case of Ingram v. Fcnwick, but before it was
concluded a conference took place which it was said might
lend to an arrangement, and the further bearing was ad-
journed-
The parties not being ready with the other cases, the
court had to rise early.

timated that he had received a communication from the
Sheriff of London with regard to the seaman, Carlo An-
dersen, whom he senteneed to death during the recent
sittings at the Central Criminal Court, which required his
immediate attention, it would be more convenient to him
is rise early, and consequently the parties agreed to an
adjournment.

Da. LiviNoirrome.—At the meeting of the Royal
Geographical Society, on Monday night, Sir It. Murchison,
who presided, pointed out that the information which
had jest been published by the Admiralty, and the ac-
counts that had been received rid Bombay, contained
virtually no Istei intelligence than the despatches front
Zanzibar read at the last meeting of the society. He then
read a resolution which had been passed by the council of
the society to the effect that one or more expeditions
should proceed, either from Zanzhar to the head of Lake
Nyassa, i.e., by the route Livingstone followed, or from
the Zambesi, with the view of ascertaining the fate of
Livingstone,and that he, as president, should communicate
the resolution to Lord Stanley, with the expression of the
hope that the government would see fit to adopt
such measures as might appear most conducive to
this end. He announced that a special committee
would have the matter in its charge, and that a large
number of applications had been already received from
persons competent to carry out or assist in such an expedi-
tion. A despatch, communicated by Lord Stanley, was
read • and it contained the intelligence that Europeans
had been heard of who were supposed to have been of the
party of the Baron Von der Decker, who was murdered on
Livingstone's last route. From the circumstance that
there was reason to suppose that members of Baron Von
der Decker's party were still alive, Captain Sherard
Osborne inferred the probability that there were survivors
of Livingstone's party who might yet give more conclusive
information of the distinguished truveller's fate. In reply
to Captain Osborne Sir It. Murchison said the council of
the society proposed to take the whole responsibility of
the expedition, but they hoped that the government would
take a deep interest in the fate of one who wax appointed
consul to all the states in the interior of Africa.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The following petitions are print:id in the appen-
dix to the eighteenth report of the Select Committee on
Public Petitions, issued to-dar. The fir.t was presented
by Mr. Russell Gurney, and the wend by Mr J. Stuart
Mill :

" The humble petition of the undersigned, sheweth,—
That your petitioners fulfil the conditions of property or
rental prescribed by law as the qual fiction of the elec-
toral franchise, and exercise in their own names the rights
pertaining to such conditions. That the principles on which
the government of the United Kingdom is bused, imply
the representation of all classes and interests in the state
That the reasons alleged for withholding the exercise of
the franchise from certain classes of her Majesty's subjects
do not apply to your petitioners. Your petitioners there-
fore humbly pray your honourable house to grant to such
persona as fulfil ►ll the conditions which entitle to a vote
in the election of members of parliament, excepting only
that of sex, the privilege of taking part in the choice of fit
persons to represent the people in your honourable house.
And your petitioners will ever pray.
" MART CHARLOTTE I.LoYD.

"The bumble petition of the undersigned sheweth, that
the exclusion of freeholders, householders, and ratepayers
legally qualified in every respect but that of sex from the
power of voting in the election of members of your
honourable house, by depriving • considerable portion of
the property, the industry, and the intelligence of the
country of all direct representation, is injurious both to
the persons excluded and to the community at large. That
women are competent both bylaw and in fact to carry on a
business, to administer an estate, and to fill other posi-
tions which, both by investing them with interests re-
quiring political representation and by affording tests
of fitness, are usually considered to give a claim to the
suffrage. That the admission of such persons to the
privilege of the franchise would be a measure in harmony
with the principles of our representative system, while its
beneficial effects would not be attended by any possibility
of dangerous political consequences. Your petitioners
therefore humbly pray that any act for the reform of
parliament hereafter to be passed may contain provisions
for granting the suffrage to women on the same conditions
of property, rating, rental, or any other qualifications
not deperubmt on such value on which it is or may be
granted to men.—And your petitioners will ever pray,
