TO TIII IDISOIt OF THI 11PROB1.

Sta,—We have now among us one of the ablest and
most ecurvily treated of all the soldiers that fought in
the late war—l mean, General Kmetv. In every
respect this "tint-rate officer" (I quote l)r. Sandu ith)
is worthy the admiration of our countrymen.
A patriot Magyar, he struggled heroically
for Hungary against Austria and Russia
united, in 1848.9. If this were the sum total
of Kmety's services it ought to be enough to make
every English heart beat warmly toward him ; but
" the greatest is behind." In 1866 he was the
fighting commander of the Turks in Asia Minor :
he it was that led the Ottoman troops when
they beat Mouravieff ftom the outworks of
Kara on the memorable 29th of September, 1836.
Such is the man from whom British honours and
decorations have been unaccountably withheld ; such
is the man whom our government have declined to
recommend to the Emperor Napoleon for the cross of
the Legion d'llonneur. Such is the man that, with
modesty equal to his bravery and conduct, has re-
quested Mr. Kinglake—who intended to bring this
discreditable affair ander the notice of the Commons
—not to persevere with his generous motion.
Can nothing be done, Sir, to convince this noble
foreigner, whose stay in London will be very short,
that although the name of George Kniety does not
appear on the roll of the Order of the Bath, the
people of England cherish it, nevertheless, as a
household word—a synonym for military virtue ?-1

PIEDMONT.

The legislative session of the Piedmentese cham-
bers was closed on the 18th. On this subject the
Piedmontese Gazette of the 17th nye :
The legislative minion opened on the 27th of
January and closed yesterday leaves an agreeable
and Luting impression on account of the import-
ance of the questions treated, the utility of the
measure. adopted, and the interest of the &magma. The
.crier affords a brilliant proof of the program made by our
country in a short apace of time in the practice of represen-
tative institution.. The laws for the fortifications of Alexan-
dria, the transfer of the naval arsenal to La Spezia, and the
new law on military conscription have provided for the organi-
sation of the national forma and defences. The law which
abolishes the nsury lawn is a new step in econcankal scireee.
The laws on public instruction, on ground rents, on the re-
form of pria,ca, and many other., have consecrated import-
ant improvements in public administretion. We will con-
clude with mentioning the law for the Ligurian railroad,
extending from the frontier line of the Var to that of Modena,
and the law for the perforation of Mount Cecil., a colossal
project which, as an English paper has happily expressed it,
is worthy of ancient Rome and modern England.

AUSTRIA.

The Austrian government has just published an
account of the financial situation of the empire for
the year 1856. According to this document the
ordinary receipts amounted to 288,608,796 florins,
or 10 millions more than in 1856 ; and the extraor-
dinary to 4,663,480 florins, or 624,490 km than in
the preceding year. The ordinary expenses
amounted to 321,377,664 florins, or 204 millions
more than in 1835 ; and the extraordinary (for the
army only) to 14 millions, or 87i millions less than
in the preceding year. The total of the expenses is
67 millions Ices than in 1853. These
though considered satisfactory, had not prod
any effect en the public funds, or inspired confidence
in the money-market, where great discouragement
is described as still prevailing.

SPAIN.

The Madrid papers of the 12th announce that the
number of arrests made in that capital up to the
I Ith was not less than 1,549, and a letter says that
on the morning of the 12th twenty-six others were
effected. According to come of the journal., the
civil governor, M. Marfori, had declared that ha
could not answer for the maintenance of public
tranquillity without arresting 5,000 persous
in the capital, and 5,0(X) in different parte
of Spain ; but these figures were thought to
be greatly exaggerated. Accounts from Andalusia
state that the troops were continuing to pursue the
remains of the republican band, and that Cara, the
chief of it, complained bitterly that some influential
persons who had promised to support his movement
had failed to do so. Acccounts from Barcelona to
the Bth say that all was tranquil there, though the
republican conspiracy had extended to that city and
the province of Catalonia; lie had, however, sent
out columns to scour the districts of Granalers,
Villafranen, IguaLada, and Vieh.

In thin awe, in which it had been decided to wind tip the
affairs of tho compsny under bankruptcy, Mr. Bagley ap-
peared on behalf of the petitioner, and Mr. Batten fur an
order on the petition.
Mr. Maley mid he only naked for the annul order.
Mr. Ito:burgh mid he appeared to oppose on the part of
several ahareholdere, on the ground that the meeting bad not
been advertised under the provision. of the 95th section of
the Joint Stock CompanieiCket, which Mae necessary, ao that
the order should be binding.
Mr. Apaland said he appeared on behalf cf creditors.
A long argument ensued as to whether an advcrtine-
meat was necessary, as notice* of the petition had been served
and all partite were now before the court.
llis Honour ultimately said that there might be a doubt in
the rime, sad as he did not see that a short delay would pre-
judice any one, it would be better to bare an adjournment
that the advertisement might be inserted ; be would there-
fore adjourn the GPO till the 25th inst. for that purpose.
Mr. Roxburgh Unit applied for an injunction to restrain
individual creditors from taking lexel proccedMgs against the
dimities. One of his clients, Mr. Lyons, had been served
with no less than 19 writs.

PIZIAOR.

The evidence tee the pVtiTiO—tee;:.wea promeded with this
morning. It wee proposed on his behalf to pat toe book
which wee alluded to in the openieg of the cue, called the
"Benefactors' Book" of the Herald's College; that is, a book
in which all persons contributing to the re-building the
Herald'. College after the Great Fire of London, were
allowed to enter, and record their pedigree.. Among them
wan a part of the Talbot pedigree, on which the petitioner
relied. The admission of this book in milieu. was objected
to by the counsel of the different parties opposing the claim
of the petitioner. A long and elaborate argument, which
occupied the greater part of the day, followed, and the
house decided that they would allow it to be put in evidence
reserving the point ea to whether they would take it Into
eceeideratien all pert of the cave.
The further proceedings in the case were adjourned to to-
morrow (this day).

PREROGATIVE COURT.—Joey le.
(Before Sir John Dodson.)

ALAN& MAIN
The kumter in this cue, Mr. John Edward Blackburn,
retired clerk in the Foreign-of See, was born in London on the
16th of August, 1817, and he died on the 27th of May, 1866,
at No. 24, Rue do Berri, Parie, powered of an English free-
hold estate of the annual value of 7801., and personal pro-
perty to the amount of 8,00/. or 9,000/. In November, 1861, he
retired on account of ill health from the Foreign-office, and
went to live in l'arie, with occasional netts to Ail-la-Chapelle
and other f. reign watering-pLuvw. In 1814 he had pprivately
married, in England, a French lady, named Hwwelle ; but
in 1864, having doubter to the validity of that marriage, be
' repeated the ceremony in a more formal manner in France.
Previous to that the parties executed • contract, which he
' signed as "J. Edward Blackburn, 11, South Andley-skeet,
Londres." Ile had also signed • tear in the maw manner.
Ito left a will in the English form, in which he bequeathad
to his wife nearly the whole of his personal estate.
Sir J. Dodson, after going carefully through the facts of
the cue, came to the conclusion that the demure had aban-
doned Ins English domicil and had acquired a new one in
Paris. It was true that a abort time before his death Le
had repressed • strong animal revertendi; but in order to
reestablish an original domicil there roust be the feet= as
well as the &pinto.. The court must therefore bold—though
it did w, not without acme doubt—that thin gentleman at the
time of Lis death had a French and not an English
domicil.

into a glass nod drank of it ; hut inviediately found
that it tasted very disagreeable. The prisoner cos called,
and asked what she had put into the porter? and she wild
"Nothing." But on Mrs. Read saying, " You ottani have put
something," she said she had poured the bottom of another
Cottle into it. Mr.. Read asked her why she had done so, as
she wen not in the habit of doing it, and the prisoner madei
nu answer. She was told to take it away, and asked to
Mete it. She appe.tred to taste it, and then naid it was very
nasty. She removed both the glass and bottle from the
room, but Mrs. Read recollecting that thane was some porter
loft in the bottle, her daughter desired that to be
brought in. The prisoner brought it back again,
saying she had thrown what was in the glans
under the grate. Mrs. Read rapidly got worse, and
felt a great burning in her throat and chest, with pain and
sickness. Mr. Osborn, a surgeon, WWI sent for, and Mrs.
Read was ill for a long time. It was afterwards found

SATURDAY EVENING.

The funds to-day were almost stationary, ar.d
closed the same as yesterday. In tendency, how-
ever, the market was somewhat stronger. English
railway stocks show, in some cases, a slight im-
provement, but French shares are still particularly
heavy. The business transacted to-day in the
various departments of the Stock Exchange was
altogether limited.
After the active demand experienced yesterday,
the discount market was to-day comparatively quiet.
Consols scarcely varied to-day from yesterday's
closing quotation, viz., 931 to for the 4th June.
For money the last price was 931 to t. After the
close of the Stock Exchange the quotation was a
shade better, at exactly 931 for June. The official
business report is as follows:—Three per Cent
Consols, for money, 931, t ; ditto, for account, 4th
June, 931, 1. Three per Cents. Reined, 921,1,1.
New Three per Cents., 921, 1. Bank Stock, 2131.
Three-and-a-II alf per Cent. Exchequer Bonds, falling
payable in 1838, 981. India Bonds, 45., 3s. die.
The March Exchequer Bills were quoted 4s. to Os.
prem. ; the June Bills, la to is. prem. ; and Ex-
chequer Bonds, 981 to 99.
Turkish Six per Cents. were fairly supported,
mid closed at 941 to 1. The Guaranteed Four per
Cents. were last quoted 1011 to I. In other foreign
state stocks scarcely any business took place.
