THE SWEDISH DIET.

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 24.—The King opened the Diet
tc-day in person. His Majesty's speech contained
the following passage :—" Agreeably to the de-
mands of my royal duty and the present political
position of Europe, I will cause to be laid before
you a statement of a complete system of defence.
Such a system is imperatively called for, in order
to place the country in a position to preserve its
independence."

NEW BRUNSWICK.
(Front our Third Edition. of Yesterday.)

The new ship Tyrone, Captain Dormard, arrived
here to-day from Bathurst, New Brunswick, having
made the passage in fourteen days, from land to
land, and brings the latest dates from that quarter.
For some time before her sailing, the early ap-
proaches of a severe winter had set in, which was
hindering labour. It was feared- that the vessels
in port would have to lay over the winter, on the
Susannah, which was loaded, and rmdy for sea,
being frozen up. Accounts from the ports higher
up the St. Lawrence are of the same tenor.

THE JESUITS EXPELLED FROM BADEN.—The
Archbishop of Frieburg, has presented a protest
to the government of Baden against the expulsion
of the Jesuit preachers from the Grand Duchy.
The minister of the sovereign replies that the mo-
tive on which the government acted was an evi-
dent intention on the part of the holy fathers to
circumvent the government and evade the law re-
gulating the settlement of religious order in the
territory of Baden. The only guarantee which the
government has at any time for the behaviour of a
foreign clergy is the confidence that the archbishop
himself will watch over them, but this confidence,
alas ! is gone, and the government can no more
allow the Jesuits to settle within its jurisdiction.
HANovEn.--The Augsburg Gazette contains a letter from
Hanover, which says:—The political colour of the new minis-
try is not as yet clearly defined. The opinions of the presi-
dent of the council are alone known. The king insists on
the restitution of a part of the domains which have been,
since 1848, transformed into state property. His majesty
wants to have matters re-established on the same footing as
previously, because the dotation of the crown is taken from
the revenue of the domanial property. The ministers who
lately resigned were not of that opinion, and that circum-
stance was, in fact, the cause of their resignation.
LOMI3ARDY. —By accounts from Milan it seems that the
return of Count Gyulai, or the apprehension of that of Maz-
zini, or a mixture of both of these evils, has been the signal
for the most unprecedented precautions against anything
like surprise—such, indeed, as are only taken by troops, in
an enemy's country, and not always then. Guards are placed
in parts of the town were no guards ever were before; the
numbers at the different posts are doubled ; the soldiers so
employed are secured from being overpowered by any sudden
onslaught of a mob by stout stockades ; even in the theatre
the officers of the garrison have a pen so railed off for
them as to protect them from the animosity of the multi-
tude, and a private entrance assigned them ; and to render
security doubly sure, civilians are not allowed to enter the
theatre without showing their passport, or carts di sicureza,
at the door.

IMPORTANT TO 4, EXCURSION " RAILWAY

TRAVELLERS.

WHALLEY V. THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY

COMPANY.

This was an action brought in the county court at Man-
chester, and tried on the 29th ult. Mr. Etty,' solicitor, of
Liverpool, appeared for the railway company. The plain-
tiff claimed to recover the value of certain luggage lost by
him on his journey from Birmingham to Manchester by
one of Marcus's excursion trains in October, 1852. The
learned judge, after perusing Marcus's bill of the trip, held
that the railway company was NOT liable for property
lost on their line, and belonging to passengers by excursion
trains.
DEATH OF AN OLD RAILWAY OFFICER.—MT. Eborall,
the goods' manager of the Birmingham station of the
London and North-Western railway, died suddenly on
Wednesday morning last. He was a most able and faith-
ful servant of the company, and was much beloved by all
those under him.

SCOTCH FARMS.— Large quantities of sheep tare being
imported from the Highlands into Wigtonshire to eat up
the surplus produce of the enterprising agriculturists of
that county.—North British Daily Mail.
DEATH FROM INTOXICATION.—A man named George
Clecry, a mason, who has lately pursued a course of dis-
sipation, was found in a state of perfect intoxication, on
Monday evening, about five o'clock, in May-street. He
was taken to the police-office, and placed near a fire ; but
about twelve o'clock, seeing that he was exhibiting symp-
tom of serious illness, he was conveyed to the general
hospital. He was then in a perfect state of insensibility,
and the stomach-pump was applied by Dr. Breaky, but
from that time until Tuesday evening, when he said a few
words to his wife, he did not show any symptoms of con-
sciousness, and died at an early hour yesterday morning.
An inquest was held by Mr. Jackson and a respectable jury,
yesterday, when, after hearing the medical and other testi-
monies, a verdict of " died from the effects of intoxication"
was returned.—Northern Whig,
