SUDDEN ILLNESS 01P MR. SERJBANT WILKINS

(THIS D. 41).

This morning, painful excitement was occasioned
amongst the members of the bar and the profession gene-
rally in the neighhourbord of the common law courts, at
Guildhall, by the sudden sod alarming illness of Mr. SW*
leant Wilkins—au illness which at one period it wee
feared would terminate fatally. The learned mr-
just had been examining witnesses in a railway
caw is the Common Fleas, but wu all at once gun
to leave the court. He was scarcely able to stagger into
the adjoining lobby, and then become quite ex-
' bursted, aid would have fallen but fur the 'mist-
anise of a number of gentlemen permit. He was
scarcely able to breathe, and was evidently suffering
from a?umodio affection of the clime. Fortunately,
number of medical gentlemen were present on the trial, Mr.
Stilton, of Guy's, Mr. Cocks, Mr. D.y, and others p omptlp
rendered every mistime. The learned sediment was at
once disrobed; bin vest and neckcloth removed; sti-
mulants and restoratives administered, but with very
I tile effect, and his suffering' for upward. of an home
were painful in the extreme ; after the lapse of half an hour,
he was placed in a cab, when the fit was renewed, and it be-
came evident to the medical gentlemen to move him until
he bad rallied would be productive of extreme danger, but
as soon es it was deemed safe lb. learned comet was re-
sieved quietly to hi■ chambers in King's Beach Walk,
Temple, wirers he remains in a serious attt•.

A letter from Genoa of the 24th, in the Cblsseitst-
tiotasel, says :—" The last detachment of the Anglo-
Italian Legion has arrived from Malta. The go-
vernment has neglected no precaution to prevent
those men, when disbanded, from falling into the
hands of revolutionary enrollers. They are landed
at the enclosure of the lazaretto, and are then taken
to the railway and sent off to their respective desti-
nations. On the let of next month three camps for
the soldiers on leave of absence are to be formed—
one at Chambery, the other at Ville Franchs, aer•
Nice, and the third at San Maurizio. The last-named
camp will be the most extensive. Several atom of
the French artillery visited this city yesterday. They
had come from Constantinople by the Saone stoup-
corvette, which, from stress of weather, we' obligcd
to put into the Bay of Bonsfins."

whether the /Act of that measure on the p3ople
will be each that the Emperor Francis Joseph would

venal, and it appears that the young sovereign has
made great progress, and expresses himself with
considerable Annoy in that language. His Majesty
remained altogether about three hours, and seemed
to enjoy the pleasures of this fete quite as much as
the fancy ball at our own embassy ; for both were
equally interesting and novel spectacles. All went
off, as may be imagined, with unusual gaiety and
animation; but as regards the respective merits
sad brilliancy of the French and English
fifes, I am really unable to decide, and
to which to give a preference. With respect to our
heave and amiable allies, there were certainly two
days for preparation, and bat a few hours in our own
esse—and still, I am proud to record that in point of
taste, elegance, splendour, sumptuous hospitality, a
variety of every imaginable luxury, abundance of all
good things, the choicest wines pleno rim, within the
reach of all and each for mere asking—we have no
MGM to regret our appearance on this auspicious
oocssion. In short, as I had already occasion to
notice, Lord Redcliffe's skill in the arts of representa-
tion, and, above all, his princely liberality when he
does " the thing," has never been surpassed and
rarely equalled at Coostantinople.
Apropos of the quarantine question, to which I
had occasion to refer in former communications, and
the frequent sanitary infractions of our British
traders, I have to mention that the Egliaton steamer,
under the command of Captain Thompson, arrived at
Smyrna on the 13th alt., without passport or
patente de sante. Accordingly, the regulations had to
be applied, as is always the ease under such circum-
stances, and two guardians were put on board till the
expiration of the vessel's term. The captain, how-
ever, on the second day, in utter disregard of the
sanitary laws, came on shore, and on the fol-
lowing morning dismissed the guardians and
quitted port, insalutato hospite, without even
deigning to pay the reckoning, amounting to
not more than a few shillings. This, you
will admit, is a grave offence in all countries,
and, had it happened in some continental ports,
would have entailed, according to the existing laws,
the incarceration of the offender during the term of
twenty years. But this is not all: the British con-
sul sent his dragoman to the Health office, protesting
that he had no power to enforce the regulations, the
ship being under Admiralty orders; and this is a
further proof how little our authorities in general
trouble themselves in regard to the laws and regu-
lations providing for the safety of the public health.
Finally, the Health Administration, in reporting this
case to the central board of the capital, remarks :
"We report this circumstance merely as in duty
bound, but have preferred no complaint to the
British Consul, being utterly convinced by expe-
rience of the hopelessness of obtaining in such mat-
ters the smallest excuse or redress from that func-
tionary."

CORPORATION OF LONDON REFORM.

kr. T. HAMMY begged to aak the Home Beerebry
whether he would Mate what course he proposed to take
with regard to the Bill for the Reform of the Cerporatioa of
Leaden

Sir O. GREY said that he had intimated that he would
state this week the amine be would take with regard to that
hs wu now prepared todoeo. Hs was anwilUng
to give up the hope of puede, on that bill at au early day ;
but he was not able, Is mantises*, of the pressure of other
badmen, to Ix a day for bringing it on. He had hoped to
have been able to have flied a day matt week; and
he was la the sane condition this week; for
his honour Ale and learned friend the Solicitor General,
paregant to notice, was about that eight to bring oa the
second reading of the Ecclesiastical Coons Bill ; and to.
sorrow was flied for supply. He did not apprehend that he
should have gay difficulty in inducing the hones to consent to
the second reading of tali Corporation Aeons Bill,bat belied
to wielder whether if it was read a second time there would
los a soficient opportanity this mignon for mandarins the
donne of the bill, on many of which there eat a differenoe
of opinion even moss those who were favourable to the
eacond reading, both In that and the other house. He was
afield that he scald sot hope for nich a result, and he
thought it better not to occupy the time of
the hoses by a dismission in the snood reading of the bill
who* them was no reasonable prospect of its poising this
session. He had neeind several saggestione, with regard
to the details of the ill, which were entitled to wanders-
Eon, and he thought the but amine he could pursue was to
ask leave to withdraw it,with the intention of mintrodueing
it gaily next swims. Although he should duly consider the
suggestions which had been made to him, he mild hold
out no hope that it wield be enterkally altered I. in main
festers'. If the bill was introduced nest session, it would
not be new, and there could be no protases for delay ea the
ground th►t the authorities of the City hod not bad this, to'
see it. He should move to diseharge the order for the mood
reading when the order of the day was read.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the 22nd, in the Augsburg
Gazette, says :—"The Grand Vizier, Ash Packs, left
this morning with all his suite, for Constantinople.
He had the honour of dining with the Emperor, and
Count Bnol paid him a visit before his departure."
The Emperor will go to Trieste about the end of this
month, and thence by Venice into the Lombardo-
Venetian province.. It is thought his Majesty in-
tends to have himself crowned at Milan, to extend
on that occasion the amnesty which has been granted,
and to open personally the central assemblies. Ex-
tensive military mancenvres are also talked of as
likely to take place between Milan,Como, and Varese."
A letter in the Nuremberg Correspondent says :
"It is not unlikely that the proposed interview be-
tween the Emperor Napoleon and the Emperor of
Austria will take place next month. About that
time the former will go on a visit to the chateau of
Arenenbarg, in Switzerland, and will then pass
through a portion of southern Germany on his way
home. It is somewhere on this route that the inter-
view is to take place, the Emperor Francis Joseph
intending, about the same time, to visit the Dowager
Empress Caroline of Austria and King Louis of
Bavaria, at his villa of Edenkoben. The interview,
however, is not to take place at Edenkoben, but at
some other place, whither the various sovereigns of
southern Germany will also repair."

GERMANY.

A letter from Frankfort, in the Augsburg Gazette,
says:—" The Military Commission of the Diet have
decided by a lugs majority in favour of enlarging
the federal fortress of R►dstadt, in order by that
means to protect the south-western part of Germany
from any future attack. The Diet has on hand the
sum necessary for the works (three millions of forMs),
and astonishment is expressed that the military ple-
nipotentiary of Prussia should be opposed to the mea-
sure. The question is now before the Diet itself, and
it is thought the representative of Prussia in that
body will disavow the opinion of the military pleni-
potentiary."
London, England, 1856-06-27

FRANCE.

A grand musical solemnity took place at Notre
Dame on Tuesday for t►e benefit of the inundated,
under the patronage of the Archbishop of Paris.
The decorations of the baptismal ceremony remained.
The cathedral was filled to overflowing before the
hoar appointed for the festival. A masa was per-
formed by 400 musicians, conducted by M. Dietsch,
which excited by its solemn grandeur the admiration
of the audience.

The Paris Bourse yesterday was rather buoyant,
and all the principal securities had improved. Se-
veral important bon& fide parchoses were effected on
Threes, which were done at from 70fr. 70c. to
71fr. Cto. for the account. Mobilier demanded at
1,6551 r. and 1,560 fr. The Railway Shares slightly
improved. On a report of the reduction of the rate
of discount by the Bank of England from 5 to 44 per
cent. prices slightly improved about the aloes.
The Bishop of Montreal is on the eve of quitting
IFrance for his extensive and distant diocese.

Monseigneur Parisia, the Bishop of Arras, has
taken upon himself, in a pastoral letter to his clergy,
to refute all the criticisms that were made in the
Paris Congress on the temporal government of the
Pope. The right rev. prelate has lately, been to
Rome, and he asserts on the strength of his own
observation, that the Roman people is certainly one
of the happiest in the whole world.
The Assemble' Nationale says :
Ws publist the tent end ezvose In motifs of the bill

the heirs of the Clasen of the Belgians., of the Derthees of
Bale Coburn, and the heirs of the Donbass of Wartemberg.

maistais the same silence now.

The &eel* merely says it thiake the bill deserves
rag serious consideration.
There is a report that the members of the Orleers
family intended to be benefited by the bill above mis-
timed will repudiate the gift, and renew their protest
against the original confiscation.
London, England, 1856-06-27

THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter from Vienna, in Vosi a Gaulle, says :
"Although no definite result has been come to res-
pecting the question of the union of the two Princi-
palities, several other points of importance have been
arranged. It has been decided, in the first place,
that the tribute paid by the Principalities to the
Porte shall not be augmented. The Porte had at
first demanded an increased tribute, but has aban-
doned the demand in face of the objections raised by
the other powers. The second point which has been
settled concerns the organic rules that have been
the primary cause of so many abuses. The powers
have recognised the necessity of a radical revision of
these rules. A third point concerns the consular es-
tablishments. With respect to the question of ren-
derin; the rule of the liospodsra hereditary, it is
hoped that the negotiations now pending will have a
satisfactory result."
