THE KING OF DAHOMEY.

The committee of the African Aid Society
have addressed a letter to Badahung, Bing of Dahomey,
whose barbarous festival and deep implicstion in the
slave trade have made him of late so dieagrecably pro-
minent in the news from the Coast of Africa.
The first steps toward the negotiations have been already
taken ; and the committee of the African Aid Society are
determined to employ every means within their power to
prevent the recurrence of such atrocities, by making it his
interest to inaugurate a civilised and Christian policy in con-
junction with the neighbouring King of Abeolcuts.
The amount of temporary subsidy to be given is of coulee
left open for negotiation.
The commiltes of the African Aid Soddy believe they
may thus act as pioneers of British government ialbsenoe
within those regions, without the government bete MI -
promised thereby ; while it is certain that if they geleosed
in detaching the King of Dahomey from the shire tattle,
that trade will be annihilated in the Blight Hems sod a
saving be effected in the cog of the eian equedros et at
least 50,000/. a year.

Ile minting et Wolverhampton yesterday was to a great
erten of a onvereationsi character, the condition and proe-
mtr it the trade coming under general teview ; as we have
said, lbws are regarded tavoetrahly—eny Bush of foreign
orders woad gin a great impetus to the trade, and in the
event of peace bang preserved in Europe, these are pretty
certain on no distant day ; sad is the menden it may be
noticed that there is no nano of produotice even at the pre-
sent time; that prior are firm; whilst the many purposes to
which the net of iron is now applied renders it impoosible foe
the trade to be gnostically depressed.
Pig Iron was quoted Inner this at last quarter-day, and
seise made rather in advance of the prior than ruing.
A subject openly referred to In the muse of the meeting
yesterday was the new compeades projected for working mines
and emoting furnaces for the production of pig inn. The
public do well to be upon their guard againet then natures.
The calculations of profit are is most instances fictitious ; the
gnu to whom management is entrusted are most of them
tof the details of iron making, whilst in some in-
stanter., which might be named the two or three respectable
names affixed to impart to the scheme a character are no
more than decoys for the purpose of inducing the public to
take up the shares. The hints here thrown out may be useful
to those who have their eye upon whereas of the character
we have described.
The meeting yesterday parsed off satisfactorily, and before
the quarter-day is over it may fairly be anticipated that an
average trade will he done.

end not the importance of the betting. With the exception
of Umpire and Buccaneer, no large amount of money was
invested on any animal,iLd the changes since the last pub-
hailed price current were tea immaterial to suggest elaborate
comment. Forager's opening price for the Northampton-
shire Stakes wee 10 to 1, at which odds he was backed for
money, brit at the close Bto 1 was booked. The other Min•
dieap events require no remark. The most interesting
tranasotion wee the het of 25 to I—laid to a good sum--
against Buccaneer's winning the Two Thousand and Umpire
the Der*, the owner of the American colt taking the bet.
Mr. Ten :Noeck also betted 3 to 1 spinet Buccaneer " out-
, right " for the Two Thousand; he likewise accepted 15f.
from a gentleman who wished to have the call of 800 to
100 about Buccaneer for the Derby after the race for the
Two Thousand. Even moneyy was betted that Umpire
would net start for the Two Thoornd, and the same bets
ware laid that he would not run for the Derby. Buccaneer
was in good demand for the Derby, and 1,1100 to 200 were
taken about him in one bet. 1,800 to 200 were also laid against
Umpire, who was in force at 9 to 1, being snood favourite.

Penarth Roads on the 7th instant, laden with coals for Rio,
and on the 11th was obliged to bear up, having encountered
very heavy weather, and he' very leaky. On the day fol
lowing, finding the water could not be got under, and the
barque Lizzie being mar, the dew determined to abandon
the vessel. The wheel of the Sarah broke when she was

of the crew jumped on board the Lizzi ,e which then bore up

sistance to the other vessel. The Sarah was taken into
Scilly in a very leaky state. The Lizzie afterward' put into

the Sarah for some time, but though he did not know in
what state she was, he entertained feats for her safety.

THE BALLOT.

Lord TEYNHAM ;loved; resolution that it was expo•
dient, in the election of member to nerve in parliament,
that the votes of the electors be taken by secret ballot.
The noble lord, in so doing, presented petitions from Droit-
wich, Maidstone, Bath, Banbury, Haverfordwest, Chi-
cheater, Newport in the Isle of W' t, Redruth, Dun-
dalk, Colchester, Norwich, Guildford, Chatham, and other
places in favour of the ballot. His lordship proceeded,
in introducing the subject of which he had given notice,
to remind their lordships that two most Important ootuddera-
tions were involved in the first place, a high moral
question bearing strongly upon individual happiness and the
welfare of our domestic life, and because our example would
have a most important influence upon the other nation of
the globe. AU efforts had hitherto failed to stein the
tide of corruption and intimidation at elections
which was well known to their lordships. He contended
that the ballot would put down intimidation, corruption,
drunkenness, bribery, and other evils. The facts which he
had adduced proved that it had been successful within and
without that house. If theirlordahips thought that it would
not be successful, it was their duty to provide some other
=2. for those admitted evils. The noble viscount con-
by moving--" That in the election of members of
parliament it is enpedient that the votes should be taken by
socaret ballot."

lord at the head of the Foreign-office. His noble friend
(Lard Joke Russell) did not say that the despatch would be

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

---
A woman named ETizabeth Williams, IS years old, was
thargadby a City policeman, namsdNieholvon, with attempt-
ing to destroy herself by jumping from London-bridge into
the river.

The constable stated that he did not see anything of the
transaction, but a gentleman who said his name was ?dyers,
and who had promised to attend that rooming but had
failed to do so, told him that she had tried to jump over the
parapet of the bridge. On the way to the station the pn-
Neer said that her husband had deserted her and left her
destitute, and she was determined to make away with her-
self. She refused to give an address, or to state where she
eeme from.

Si; iiT'arden 'shed thlreonee what had induced her to
endeavour to destroy hei .
She replied that her husband had deserted her, and she
wu quite destitute.
Sir It. Carden told her this was no weenie for her attempt.
lag to destroy herself. If she was really destitute she
ought to have applied to her parish. Ile then inquired
where she lived? _ _

The prisoner refused to state her address.
Mr. Goodman told the prisoner that any person found
wa about in the City of London for an unlawful par•
pee was Ws to be committed to prison fur three months.
He added that he wa, afraid that a good many of these
attempts at suicide from London-bridge were merely pre
tended, in order to obtain the sympathy of the public.
Sir R. Carden told the prisoner lie should remand bar for
a week in order that some inquiries might be made
about her.

with being drunk and creating a disturbance, and the latter
with attempting to rescue the former from the custody of

Reeves, 44 C, said that that morningabout one o'clock he
was on duty in Albemarle-street, when he heard loud
shouting, red on going to the spot found the two defendants
with two prostitutes shouting and creating a great disturb-
anos. He requested them to go away, and the females were
about to do 80, when Dixie said, " Oh, don't mind him, he
walks the streets for 18a. a week." Thu females theft walked
away, and Dixie pulled out hie watch, and putting it to hie

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Peeth of the 3rd says :

The prosecution of M. Tannic and of several of the mu•
dente of the university, here reveals the profound abyss
which the government is digging beneath its own feet.
Some time back the government, from excess of zeal, caused
to be drawn up a catechism for the use of the subjects of
the Emperor, but, as was to be foreseen, it had no success
on the contrary, it converted many to patriotim who had
previously been Austrian. At about the same time,
Tancsics published • popular history of Hungary, but it
was seized and confiscated, although it contained nothing
contrary to the laws on the press. This gave 3‘
Tancsics (for previous publications be had under-
gone imprisonment in the dungeons of the fortrehe
of Buda, and was released in the popular move.
ment of the 15th March, 1648) the idea of writing • poli-
tical catechism iu opposition to that of the government.
But as he could not get the work printed, he showed the
manuscript to several law students. Thai fact was denounced
by some spy, and he and the students were arrested ; they
were afterwards brought to trial—be for having written
against the present state of things, and the others for
having read and copied the work, and not revealed its
existence."

The same letter says :
The deficit of Austria for 1839 is not less than 279,000,000
florins-687,500,000f.--a deficit never yet reached in any
state. To cover it, rsilways have been sold by the govern.
ment for 94,500,00011. The floating debt has been aug.
mented by upwarde of 174,000,0008., and 24,000,0001 worth
of bonds which ought to have been employed to pay off the
debt on the real property of the state have been sold. Not-
withstanding the heavy burdens Unposed on the populations,
the resources of the Treasury in 1810 did not increase ; on
the contrary, the receipts were less by 6,000,0008. than in
the year before. The sale of the railways will cause a deficit
in the budget of the present year, as the revenue from them
will not go to the government ; the interest on the
24,000,000 d. bonds will also be wanting the loss of
Lombardy likewise will cause a diminution of 13,000,0008. in
the revenue; and yet the debt will be increased by
174,000,0008. The result is that the expense of the army
and the interest on the debt will absorb all the revenue.. ;
so that none will remain for the other branches of the
public service.

FATAL MINE ACCIDENTS.

Two unusually terrible mine aseirkiria happened
in the neighbourhood of Liskaud au Friday er l &Mutiny
last. The first on Friday, at the South Cando° Mine,
was attended with fatal results. John Thames, a miner,
having charged with powder two holes, fired them and
went away. After waiting wee time, sod as one hole only
Lad he said to his comrade that he would se
and be it again. His comrade, however, advised ids
smiting a while, for perhaps it might bare tabs be and
would explode presently. The usfortmeate sam, however,
mid he was sare the bole had not tabs, sod be would go
and Are it. He bad not, however wended far for
the pupal. of carrying out his infismtkm, when the hole
exploded, sod the poor man was frightfollp *bred and dis-
figured, and only lived till his arrival at kis house. This
surely should be a lesson of caution to minim John Thomas
leaves a widow and three children to mourn their sad and
untimely bereavement. In the second accident, which took
place on Saturday, at Wheal Mary Ann Mine, ten persons
hada very narrow escape of suffocation. The following state-
ment is byes, of the sufferers :—The men in the 150 crmocut
level bad bored a hole sine feet deep, and put two cam of
powder in the hole which they shut up ; after the powder wee
blown off, Johnson Rule went in to see if the powder had
knocked the hole through, and took up • pick and fancied the
ground was shaken ; he beat the pound a bit and the earth
tell away. It is supposed the foul air then escaped ; at
all events he soon fell down perfectly enseleas. John Rich
then went in to see whet bad become of his comrade, and
the air catching him he also fell. Captain Stevens then
went in, end caught bold of the two men, one under the
arms and the other by the jacket, and he thus brought them
some way out ; being partly suffocated and exhausted with
the exertion, he also fell senseless, first, however,
calling to the men for more aasistenee. Henry
Abrahams and John Johns then went in, bet the
fool air by this time had booms moat deadly, and they
both aimed, immediately. Others followed, aed in all
10 of the party fell ; but after great efforts had been used
by the other men all wen got oat. John Rich and
Henry Abrahams are still very ill from the effects of the
air, and had to be drawn out by the gig. It was • long
time before they could be broughtto ; the former lay in tits
for three hours after ; Rich and Abrahams being the last
men drawn out. Such is the unvarnished recital of this
threatening accident, and we must add that too much
cannot be said in praise of the courage of Captain Stevens
and the men for their effects on this occasion.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the oth announce the
return of the Queen and King to the capital from
San Ildefonso, and of the formal reception by her
Majesty of the Moorish Andeurriadors, already an-
nounced by telegraph. The latter ceremony was
marked by great pomp. The ambassadors, on
ap-
preaching the Queen, saluted her Majesty in the
wanner of their country—that is, by bending their
foreheads to the ground, and one of them
then delivered an address in Arab, of which
the Minister of Foreign Affairs read a Spanish
translation. He afterwards banded to her Majesty
a letter from thu Emperor of Morocco, enclosed
in a richly embroidered velvet bag. The Queen
replied in Spanish, and her speech wan translated'
to the Moors. Her Bfejusty then conversed with
them for some time through an interpreter. Sub.
sequently the ambassadors attended a review of the
artillery of the garrison, passed by the Milliliter of
War. The manufacturers of arum of Placentia,
Eybar, Elgobar, and Ermine had offered, says the
Noredade4, to supply 60,000 rifle muskets at a lower
price than those of England and Belgium.

The agents of Garibu.kli in Liverpool have pur-
chasm', for the sum of 9,000 f., the steamer Catehria, for-
merly belonging to the Canard hoe. The ode was etfecteti

When naked what be had to say in reply to the charge,

He was then fully committed for trial.

WESTMINSTER.

?mares Leek, 20 years of age, was charged with uttering
a forged cheque fur N. 65., purporting to come from the
Dowager Lady Hardinge.
Plunk Berton, assistant to Mr. Joseph Haslam, linen.
draper, in Queen's-buildings, Brompton, said that on Wed.
nesday last the prisoner came to the shop, and, after making
mine small purchases, inquired if she could have the cheque
(produced) changed. Nut knowing her he refused to com-
ply with her request ; she then said she wanted to purehose
21. or N. worth of goods. Witness consulted with another
assistant, and told her to leave the cheque, and call on
Thursday. On it being shown to Mr. Modem, be did not
think all was right ; and on sending it to Cocks and Co.,
bankers, it was found to be forged.
Viscountess Emily landings, 1, Prince's-terrace, Prince's-
gate, Hyde-park, identified the cheque produced, signed
Lady Hisre," as having been torn out of her banker's
book. The writing on the cheque was not in her band.
writing, and she always signed her name " Emily Her-
dinge.” The prisoner had been in her service not more
than two months, and was housemaid.
In answer to Mr. Payuter's inquiries,
Her ladyship said the prisoner had access to the hanker+
book, owing to her ladyship having left the book about
indeed of locking it up. Prisoner wrote exactly like the
writing on the cheque, and had admitted to her that the
writing was hers.
John Whicher, inspectoiof detectives, Scotland-yard, mid
that on the matter being known he was entrusted with the
care of it. On going to her ladyship's, from a description
given of the prisoner by the witness Berton, he thought the
accused to be the culprit, and made her write. He noticed
the word eight written on the cheque, and on ask-
ing her to write the word she wrote it in the same manner.
She also wrote "Lady Hardinge " exactly as on the cheque.
He then told her to put on her bonnet and shawl, and placed
her with three other servants, sod on sending for the witness
Berton he immediately identified her.
Prisoner, who declined saying anything in answer to the
charge, was fully committed to take her trial at the Old
Bailey.

'ELLIG:

SAVOY AND NICE.

We read ia *0 Mae of today :

"A proclamation of the Sardinian authorities
announces the arrival of our troops to the inhabi-
tants of Chambery, and a French vessel of war is
about to give protection to our citizens at Nit*.
The latter complain of the violence exercised
against them by a portion of the popula-
tion. With regard to the deputation from
Savoy, who went to demand of the King
of Piedmont either the maintenance of the country
under the crown of Sardinia or its erection into an
independent state—the King contents himself with
replying that events are stronger than his desires,
but that at all events the ties which unite his
dynasty to Savoy are too old to be broken in a
day."

The elections in Savoy to the Sardinian parlia-
ment took place on Sunday.

The Conetitutionne/ of this morning says
" The first French battalions returning from
Italy have entered Savoy."
Le Stated et La Savoie of the 24th inst., a journal
published at Chambery, appears with a deep black
border and the following appeal :

The men who, from respect for the liberty they were
allowed to enjoy, or actuated by sentiments of honourable
fidelity, entertained the hops of preventing a change which
they believe fatal to their country, have placed reliance on
promisee publicly made, and have thought they might rely
upon a free vote destined to interpret the wishes of the
populations. The Moniteur brings forward the annexation
in es positive a manner that our political elections have no
longer an object.

Fully resolved not to perform the part of dupes without
dignity, we refuse to associate ourselves with en equivocal
vote which means nothing. We therefore invite all our
fellow-citisens who will place their confidence in us to ab-
stain from attending the political elections of Sunday next.
The Piedmontese government cannot, without violating
its promises and our legitimate rights, dispense with calling
upon us to pronounce ourselves freely upon our destinies.
We expect, we desire that the suffrage shall be taken
limmetly on the subject.
