711 E JAMAICA COMMISSION.

The Tines argues that to keep alive in Jamaica the
heart-burning, connected with the late lamentable oecur-
rences by prosecuting or degrading every magistrate or
official who may deserve censure, would be a very short-
sighted policy. Should proceedings be taken by
private individuals or committees against such per-
, sons, some very nitro questions are likely to arise

WIIRTEMBERG..

ASICHENBEJIG, Jura 17.
An army horps 30,000 strong bivouacked at
Abersdorff last night. 12,000 men are expected to-
day at Serfhennersdorf and 800 at Littdorf. The
Prussians have occupied Seidenberg in considerable
force, and reinforcements are still reaching that
place.

THE FEDERAL DIET.
FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE, Join 19.
The governments which have determined to unite
with Austria are said to have come to the follow_
ing decisions :-1. To take virtual possession of
Holstein. 2. To recognise retrospectively, as
legitimate, the Holstein government which was
dissolved by General Manteuffel. 3. To permit
the re-establishment of the Holstein government,
regarding the same as a continuance of the adminis-
tration of the Federal execution decreed by the
Diet in 1863 and 1864. 4. By means of the said
Holstein government, to reassemble the Holstein
estates." Nothing is yet known respecting the
means to be adopted for the execution of these
decisions.

THE WAR.

The Daily News thinks that though the occupation of ,
Hanover and Cassel may give a transient air of vigour to
the military operations of Prussia, it is valueless in a '
political or military point of view. Silesia seems fated to
receive the first shock of Austrian invasion. The yielding
of Saxony without a struggle, and the massing of Austrian
columns around Olmutz and Josephstadt, render it pro-
bable that a concentric movement from those towns,
directed on Glatt and Neisse, is in contemplation. The
heal-quarters of Marshal Benedek are at Pardubitz, a few
miles only from Josephstadt, and on the direct route to ,
Gists. Is the situation thus chosen significant? A few I
days, or even hours, may suffice to change conjecture into
certainty.
The Tines devotes an article to the probable strategical
operations of the Italians, the purport of which is that the I
campaign, which on former occasions proceeded from west
to eut, will at this present juncture proceed from south
to no-th, and the conflict will be chiefly brought to the
plains of Itovigo, Este, Vicenza, and Padua, a compara-
tively untried battle-field no less to the Anstrians than to
their foes.
The Star expects that part at least of the plan of Gari-
baldi will take the shape of a descent somewhere on the
Adriatic coast of Austria, while Cialdini, crossing the Po,
marches in the direction of Venice, and the fleet of Ad-
miral Persano operates in the Gulf.

THE RELEASE OF THE ABYSSINIAN CAPTIVES.

In expressing its satisfaction at the result of Mr. Ras-
sam's visit to the Emperor of Abyssinia, the Times pays a
tribute to Lord Russell and the Foreign-office for the pru-
dent measures which have been so happily crowned with
success. The policy adopted in this difficult matter of
using gentle means, and of sending an emissary who
was likely to conciliate the Emperor instead of
making an impotent demonstration of force,
has been fully justified by the event. Mr. Ras-
gam, going in peaceful guise, and presenting what
the Emperor appears to have set his heart on
a kind of diplomatic communication from England—has
obtained his end, while it is very certain that any hostile
operations either by sea or land, would have been at once
followed by the execution of all the prisoners after the
most horrible tortures. Lord Chelmsford, who criticised the
conduct of the government last session, will probably
admit that, whatever may have been their former short.
comings, they have managed the recent negotiations with
skill and discretion. It might have been more prudent,

as well as polite, to acknowledge his Abyssinian Majesty's
first communication three years ago, the neglect of which
is said to have so much angered him, but when that
fault had been once committed the government could
not do better than show a tardy civility, and conciliate
a personage whom it is impossible effectually to coerce-
The Times thinks it will be best that as few Englishmen as
possible should henceforth visit the dominions of this royal
savage, either officially or otherwise. The government '
must now insist that the consul shall confine himself
to Massovrah, and from that place transact all business
connected with Abyssinian territory. As a matter of sen-
timent and historical interest one might desire to establish
closer relations with so strange a people, but they are evi-
dently too barbarous to be approached without precaution.
Their ruler must be left to make the first advances, and to
earn the friendenip of civilised nations by fulfilling his
duties to them.

mittee farther evidence was taken. One witness deposed

ceiving further evidence in support of the petition.

FIRE DISURANCE.

Mr. LOCKE inquired of the bon. member for Dudley
whether it was his intention to bring on his motion to-
morrow. He understood that the hon. member for Green-
wich would postpone his motion, which stood first on the
paper, in order that the debate on the Reform Bill might
be proceeded with.
Mr. SHERIDAN said there were other notices on the
paper besides that of the hon. member for Greenwich, and
if be were to postpone his notice, be might not have
another opportunity of bringing it on before the budget.
(Cries of "Oh oh,' and opposition cheers.) The Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer had announeed that he would in-
;*iinoe the budget immediately alter the close of the

important question connected with Ireland to be dim-

of the house or of those gentlemen with whom he was in
the habit of acting, and, if the government could give him
any day for his motion, it was far from his desire to inter-
; rapt for a moment the continuation of the important de-
bate on the Beformßill. His motion would not take more
than an hour, or an hour and a half, and he did not be-
lieve the reform debate would close on Thursday or Friday.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

MILITARY MOVEMENTS IN ITALY.

The Gazette of Naples of the 18th says :
Further movements of troops for Upper Italy are in pre-
paration. At Brindisi and Taranto great quantities of
naval provisions are being placed in store.
The Gazetta delta Ramagsse contains the follow-
ing :
We are assured that the government will take into
its own bands all the slow traffic of the rail-
ways from the 20th. The military purveyors hare
received pressing orders to hasten their supplies.
In the Milan Gazette we read :

a.. ...asp ••••••••
From the lst of May A company of instruction will be
attached to each regiment of artillery, in order to instruct
the soldiers of the new levy in this branch of the service.
The Sentinella Bresciana says
-• •

When the last levy was made clothing was only supplied
to the conscripts intended for the engineers and artillery.
Now all the other conscripts have been called in. On the
17th orders were issued to the reserves to present them-
selves on Saturday. Why the reserves should be called
in before the other classes it is difficult to explain, but the
fact is true, and of great significance. A corps of ponto-
niers passed yesterday to Padua by railway. They are
intended either for Velflfia or Legnano.
The ipennitw reports from Venice that the
authorities have ordered the municipality to call
in at once all the soldiers on leave.

The electors of the third electoral district of
Berlin held a meeting yesterday, which was nume-

Resolutions were passed similar to those adopted
at the meeting recently held in the other electoral
districts, excepting the third paragraph, con-
cerning the convocation of a German Parlia-
ment. This paragraph was amended as follows :
"The convocation of a parliament, composed of
members elected by universal suffrage and en-
dowed with full powers, is the first step towards
the realisation of the inalienable right of the nation
that Germany should be united in power and liberty.
The Prussian people notwithstanding their internal
conflict, have never forgotten their duty to be the
first to enter the lists in defence of that right."
Yesterday the King of Prussia received the

Majesty an autograph letter from the Emperor of

is being got up to the House of Commons praying that a 1

tioned were—Mr. Leathani, of Huddersfield; Mr. Joe.

km of Copestake, Moore, Crampton, and Co. ; Mr. Jacob

night. Mr. Campbell, the liberal candidate, was to address

REPRESENTATION OF NORTH DEVON. —The West-
er% Aforsing News says it is probable that Sir Stafford
Northoote will be unopposed, for at a meeting of the liberal
party held at the seat of Lord Fortescue on Saturday it
was, it believes, determined to abandon the requisition
which had been started to Mr. Edward Simcoe Drewe,
and allow Sir Stafford to walk over the course.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The reproduction of Fro .Diavolo, at Covent-
garden on Thursday night, has been one of the most nota-
ble events of the season. It was indeed • complete
triumph. The house was crowded, and the audience en-
joyed with the keenest zest the performance of • piece not
surpassed on theoomic opera stage for that gaiety, vivacity.
and sparkling brilliancy which characterise the chefs
d'reurre of the French school, and especially the works
of the (in many respects) incomparable Amber. Mdlle.
Lucca reaped fresh laurels by her performance of
Zerlina. In her personation of the youthful Con..
Udine, the Italian country girl, she was captivating be-
yoad description, and her acting and singing were full of
traits of originality and genius. This was especially thecass
with her manner of giving the air so well known to the
English public as " On yonder rock reclining," in which
she describes So graphically the renowned brigand. Her
reading of it was as delightful as it was new. Houdin, as
Fre Diavolo, was admirable in every respect. He mai
brilliantly, and his picture of the robber, with his gay and
polished exterior, through which his real ferocity
was every now and then apparent, was full of
dramatic art. Rancour@ Lord Moberg, the travelling
Realishrean, was • most amusing caricature, and by no
means unlike, for oar countrymen are much given to
making themselves ridiculous. Mdlle. Morensi as "My
Lady " lacked roe cossica, but her performance was careful
and not unsatisfactory, for she was evidently well
acquainted with the part. Tagliafico and Ciampi were
very laughable as the two banditti. The whole performance
went off with the utmost spirit, and well deserved the
applause it received.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-JUNE 15.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN RE T. E. FRANKLYN.
The bankrupt was a silk merchant of St. Paul's-church-
yard. He had also carried on business in partnership with
persons named Ellsworth and Selby, in Lime-street, and at
Lyons. The aggregate liabilities are 63,700/., with an
estimated deficiency of 58,0001.
From the report of Mr. Edwards, the official assignee, it
appears that the bankrupt's own liabilities amount to
16,0721., with estimated assets of 3,803. His expenditure
is stetted at 1,5001. a-year for the two years preceding the
failure. He attributes his bankruptcy to losses in the firm
of Selby and Franklyn. The liabilities of that firm are not
less than 39,476/., with assets of 205/. only. The firm of
Franklyn and Ellsworth have incurred liabilities of 8,2031.,
and their estate shows assets of 1,039/.
Mr. Munns, for the assignees, stated that three separate
accounts had been filed representing the three firma with
which the bankrupt had been connected.
Mr. Phelps, representing creditors of the firm of
Selby and Franklyn, wished to have detailed accounts of
the deficiency of 39,000/. shown on the firm of Selby and
Franklyn, and also of the deficiency of 12,0001. on the
bankrupt's own estate.
His Honour said that the creditors were entitled to those
accounts, and directed an adjournment for the purpose.

TAB FENIAN RAID.

From the telegrams published to-day, the Times thinks
we need not hesitate to derive the most satisfactory assur-
ances as to the issue of the foolish and criminal enter-
prise of the Fenlans in Canada. The United States
government have not only stopped the movement
but have put an end to the authority by which it was or-
ganised, and if undisciplined bodies of Fenian should still
attempt to cross the frontier for purposes of rapine, they
will be readily disposed of by such an officer as General
Meade, with regular troops and gunboats at his disposal.
The Times then hastens to express its sense of the admir-
able spirit displayed by the United States, and feels almost
disposed to thank the Fenian for having given the Arne-
rheas ell occasion for displaying so coaspicuoualy their
friendliness and good feeling.
The prompt action of the American government, ob-
serves the Daily News, will surprise those only who are
unacquainted with the traditions, feelings, and constant
policy of the American people. The doctrine of non-
intervention and strict neutrality in the disputes of
foreign powers was one of the bequests of Washington to
the republic which he founded. The geographical and
political position of the United States has enforced the
counsels of the first president. Connected by the ties of
an inherited civilisation and of an increasing commerce.
with the nations of Europe, sad feeling therefore a keen
interest in European vicissitudes, but removed by dis-
tance from the temptation to interposition, they have
learned to give free play to moral sympathies without being
impelled by them into political action. In spite of the
Fenian levies which are said to be taking place in many of
the cities of the Union, and the advance here and there of
an unarmed mob towards the Canadian frontier, we may
assume that the sorriest imposture of our time is at an end.

THB DUKINFIELD COLLIERY EXPLOSION.

Of the eleven colliers mentioned yesterday as
supposed to be cut off from all possibility of escape, it ap.
pears that six made their escape by other than the ordi-
nary roads to the bottom of the shaft. The other five were
dead and shockingly mutilated. This reduces the number
estimated as having perished in the mine to 37. Although
the rules for the working of the mine were strict as to the
use of locked Davy lamps, there was, practically, much ,
laxity in the enforcement of the rules, and boys occasion-
ally are said to have used candles, the flames of which bad
nothing to protect them. It is also a current report that
the firemen in this mine, instead of having simply to go
through the workings to examine as to the state of the
air, and report as to the safety of them for the colliers to
work in, had the additional duty of replenishing the fur-
nace fires, which would impede their progress. If this was
so, it was a reprehensible practice, because, the first thing
in the morning a strict examination into the safety
of the mine for working porpoises is of the utmost
and most immediate importance. Such rumours as
. _

these, however, will no doubt be thoroughly sifted at the
coroner's inquisition, which is to be opened, for
the purpose of identifying the bodies, to-day, to
facilitate the granting of certificates of burial The main
inquiry into the cause of the explosion will be adjourned
till some day next week, The colliers who volunteered to
go down the mine after the explosion and search for the
dead bodies—always a work of danger as well as diffi.
culty—are reported in this case to have exhibited great
courage and untiring energy. The colliery bank was
crowded all day by great numbers of people, among whom
were the wives and children, the sisters and brothers, and
relations of the sufferers ; many of them exhibited great
emotion, and the scene was of the most heartrending and
pitiable description. Among the dead is George Phillips,
the underlwker, who had general charge of the works un-
derground, and whose duty it was to see that the drift-
ways were free from any explosive gases before the oolliers
went to work. It is said that 386 lives have been lost in
this mine since it was opened five years ago. In some of
the mines at Dukinfield much greater loss of life than this
is reported to have taken place. In fact these great explo-
sions, though they cause a great sensation at the time of
their occurrence, are well known to colliers as causing a
small portion of the mortality almost constantly going on
from various causes in coal mines.
