SOUTHWARK.

ATTEMPTED HIOHIVAT Ronatuy. —James Ai.key, a
powerful young man, was charged with violently assaulting
Yr. Henry Da Costar and his wile, and attempting to rob
the fanner. _

—The complainant stated that as he was returning home
the preceding night, accompanied by his wife, the prisoner
came op to them, near the obelisk, at the bottom of Black-
friareroad, and 'elicited Mae Complaisant, bas Mir no
change, went into • publc-house near the spot, and called
for a pint of porter, which he gave to the prisoner, and then
gave him twopence besides. Be and his wife then walked
on toward; Great liaiot-street, where they lived, but had not
proceeded many yards when the prisoner came up to them
slain, and taking off his cep, mid the twopence was of nn use
to him, and begged that be would give hint sixpence. Gem.
plainant, astonished at the impudence of the prisoner, said
that he certainly should not give him any more, upon which
the latter ejaculated, " Then, I will have what you have
got." The moment he uttered these words, be struck Mrs.
Da Costar a blow on the breast, which knocked her
down, and then rushed upon me, and struck me several
timer, when I loudly called for assistance, an 4 fortunately
• policeman, 272 M, bearing my cries, came up and secured
ms assailant on the spot. The complainant found that his
watch had been dragged out of his waistcoat poker, and
we, hanging by the guard-chain to which it was attached
round his neck; and he added that tb, prisoner must
have followed them for some distance and availed himself
of the opportunity of attacking him and his wife when
they got to a rather unfrequented spot, and tot
far from his abode ; that be (oomplsinant) had
not lost any money, which he attributed to the timely arrival
of assistance, as be stood no chance of defending himself
against DJ powerful an asaailant as the prisoner.
Policeman 172 M stated that, on hesrint the cry of
" Police," he ran to the spot, and saw the complainant in the
act of defending himself as well as be could from the pri-
soner, whom be charged with attempting to rob him. He
(policeman) saw the complainant's watch hanging loosely
by the guard-chain outside his waistcoat, and he at once
took his asseilant into cuetody. When they got to the
station-house he heard the prisoner exclaim that he knew
where the complainant lived, and that he would serve him
out when he got his liberty.
Mr. A'Beekett said that it was a very daring assault with
intent to commit robbery, and that upon that charge he
should commit the prisoner for trial.—Committed accordingly:

LAM BETH.

THE ROEIIIEII7 AND ALLEGED MTRDER AT CLAPHAM.
—W. Knight and H. Stark, who have been in custody for
some days, on suspicion of being concerned with a third
party, not in rustoly, in a rabbay at the house of Mr.
Meddle, No. 14, Claremont-place, Wandsworth-road, on
Sunday, the 28th of last month, when Borah Snelling, the
housekeeper of that gentleman, was found dead in so myste-
rious a manner, were brought up fa examination.
The prisoner., with a third man, had been observed in
the Wandsworth-road in the fortnoon of the day of the
robbery, and not a great distance from the house of Mr.
Meddle, by Cook, the gaoler of this von. This circum-
stance, together with the notoriety of their character, caused
suspicion to rest on them. and in a few days after Stark was
secured ; hut the feet of his apprehension was kept recut,
so as not to drive th • other away. On the evening of Sunday
week the other prisoner (Knight) was secured, and on his
per•on were found a perfect set of houst bre-kking imple-
ments. The third man, who was the most remarkable of the
three, and who .t wu said could have been spoken to by
more than one person who had seen him close to the house
of Mr. Medal' during church hours on the morning in
question, has managed to evade the vigilance of the police,
and therefore the evidence to fix the prinoners with a par-
ticipation in the robbery fell to the ground.

Mr. Elliott, addressing the prisoner Knight, observed
that there could be no doubt, from the implements found
upon him, that his intention was to elownit • robbery on
the evening he was taken into cust ,ely, and he should there-
ftre commit him to the House of Correction for three calen-
dar months. The other prisoner he should discharge.

SWITZERLAND.

The Grand Council of Beres met. by extraordinary
convocation of the government, on the 16th (this
council will shortly be superseded by that which was
elected on the 6th May, and the majority of which is
a different political party). About 190 members out
of 227 were present. 'rho government submitted to
the Grand Council three propos►tions: 1, To approve,
all the measures which have been taken by it; 2, To
accord the credits neeemary for providing for the ex-
penses ; 3,%T0 grant to the government powers to act
according to circumstances. The last proposition gave
rise to a sharp debate, and was warmly opposed by
the opposition, on the ;wand that it was an enor-
mity, under present circumstances, to give to the
government extraordinary powers, and that those it
at present pommies are sufficient for maintaining
order. The first two propositions were adopted ; on
the third two amendments were proposed. one for
negativing it altogether, the other for confirming the
Fowles demanded within the limits of the constitu-
tion; but both were rejected, and the proposition was
adopted.

place in that city before a military tribasaL Seventy
persons are already arrested, and it is expected that
many more will be arrested still. It relates to a vast

The city of Milan hes subscribed 6,000,000 lires to

Paris, Feb. 13, 1850.
Bir,—l have received the despatch's which you have done
ma the honour of addressing to me, down to No. 147, inclu-
sive. I do not understand, I mast my, how it is that you
have not yet boon *ambled to transmit to me the formal
and official acceptation of our mediation. The language
which Lord Palmerston holds to you, the ',satinets whieh
Lord Normanby has not owed to give me, do not oer-
tamly permit me to supple* that the cabinet of London
thinks of drawing bark hem the determination which it
had eed in this respect. If it were (otherwise. we
should have the right of demanding that we should no longer
be loft in uncertainty. In proposing our good offices to ter-
minate a quarrel, the prolongation of which Greece would
not be the only one to regret, we thought we were acting in
the interest of the British government as well as of the
cabinet of Athens ; it appeand to se that at London we
were understood in this seam. Once more, if they have
@hemmed their opinion, which would cause us great :14 r• t ,
it would, without doubt, be worthy of the loyalty of the
Bri CA government not to have us in ignorance, and restore
us without delay our liberty of action; bat, I repeat, this
supposition does not appear to me admissible. It is taproot-
sible for me, thou, to oonoeive the reason of the delay to
leading the letter which you bate been expecting for some
days. What oblige. us, Wen, to attack a real important* to
'o44 what does not permit us to oossider this incident
as a question of pure formality, is the very. uarapected ex-
planation which Lord Polmerstora has glum you on the
nature of the orders already sent to Yr. Wyse and
Admiral Parker for the suspension of cueravo mea-
nies. if have prepay evelernood tame alga.

Willielmsbcd, to represent for the last time the
'danger which the Elector incurs in the course ha is
'pursuing. He will °camel the prince to discharge
Hassenpfiug, and call together the parliament. As-
cording to a third proposition, said to be made to the
Elector by General Brehn, the Permanent Committee
is to be induced to authorise the collection of the taxes
se a provisional meume. General Brebn ham not yet
returned, and nothing is known of his lumens ; but it
is not expected that he will be able to bring the
Elector to reason. There are renewed rumours of a
ministerial crisis, bat they may be regarded as prc •
mature. The 15th of October, the day on winch the
proviecrinm expires, approaches. The two systems
of 'Mance and federation will then be once more face
to face. However, the difierecee of feeling is not
likely to break out before the meeting of the Chambers.

The Constitutioneelpositively announces this morn.
ing that the Pope will return to Rome on tl.c first
Thursday after Lent, and that the French fleet will
proceed to Naples, to escort h'm to Civita Vcechia.
The Courrier Francais, on the other hind, says:
We have before us a letter from Naples, which
brings news of great importance. Pius IX. having
declared his firm determination not to return to Rome
except under the protection of a mixed garrison of
Austrians, Spaniards, French, and Neapolitans, Gen.
Baraguay d'Hillier. considered it his duty to take the
orders of the French government on the conduct to
be observed in this grave circumstance. The reply of
the French government having been favourable, the
Spanish army, which had already partly embarked
at Terracina tor Spain, received counter-orders, and
is drawing near Rome. The Austrian trocps and the
Neapolitan corps were immediately to march, and the
return of the holy father to the Eternal City weal:inked
on as likely to be early."
Prince Musignano has entirely recovered from his
wounds, and appeared again in public.

Yesterday the Verwaltungs-Rath held its last

this diplommic board will re.cpen business on the
15tb. The chief matter set:led yesterday well the
election of the commissioners, who are to be tte rar-
-I;amentary.representatires of the Vertraltungs-Rath
in the Chambers at Erfurt. The choice of the As-
sembly fell on Lepel, the plenipotentiary of Hesse-
Darmstadt; Vollprachr, the plenipotentiary of Nassau,
now oa a minion to the Duchies; Liebe, the
plenipotentiary of Brunswick, and Carlowitz, who
is not a member of the Verevanmags-Roth,
but has been selected as a person fit to represent the
interests of Saxony, of which kingdom he was fox,
merly minister. Carlowitz is the btothe: of tie dip-
lomatist who has been lately chosen by the Saxon
government to replace Count Hohenthat as Saxon
Envoy at the ccurc of Munich. It is curious enough
that, while Hanover will belong to Eel:her the Three-

cny, lately the colleague of Hanover, and liming sus
it were on the other arm of Prussia, is eager to belong

The square on which stands the Bourse was very
animated in its appearance to-day, and the purlieus
of ti.e abode where tho Union Electoral° holds its
meetings was crowded with spreulatcrs and people
curious to know the result cf the ballot for the elec-
tions of the Seine.

It is remarkable that a turn bee taken place in the
older of tho toms of the Gniln list, Gec,ral De la

The Siteln, in an edition published at one o'clock,
states that the number of votes already known was
30,000, divided as follows.—Candidates of the Elec-
toral Union: Bonjean, 14,247; Foy, 14,255; I.,hizte,
11,138.—Cardidates of the democratic socialist party :
Carrot, 13,739; 1)e Moth., 13,176; Vidal, 13,367,1
The other votes are scattered on diff.went candidates. I

At four o'clock, tt e only arrordissemcnt of which
the results were not known were the dth and the 9th.
The general casting op of rotes for Pans within the

a tusj ,city of only 3,000 in favour of the candidates

The votes of the Hotel des lavalides w,re examined
no Monday. Out of 2,000 votes given by the vet, rang
id that institution, 1,700 were given for the list of the

THE QUEEN DOWAGER'S SERVANTS.

We announced at the time of the Queen Dowager's
deco se that no provision bad been mid* for the domestics.
W have since received 'moral letters emplaining that we
es;ress -d an opinion on the alleirel hardships these per-
sica. whorie wages ought to have allowed of their went
a complicacy for old see This is scarcely correct ; we
expro.dy &Sneed that it was the opinion of a Done-
%on 15 ut —sot our own.
We now learn that a printed form was recently handed to
the whole of the principal servants, and those filling minor
eapoiti s in the royal homeheld, to fill up, giving their
serw's from their entry lito the establishment from the
potixi of her manage with the Duo of Clarence, and
Moir servi.arle while her /lalisty was Queen Coesort and
Qum noemer, sad that mom the informatics thus ob-
tainer' the Earl of Denbigh Muter of the Hone to her
late Maj sty) waited on Lord Jobs Russell in reference to
their claims.
Lord lola Unwell stated that he would take care to band
the re?. eseatatiite of the several claimants to the Chancellor
of the Eubequer for his consideration, after which it would
become a matter for the lirmesi of Coalmen, to deal with.
It fa seemly probable, however, that parliament will saddle
the mintry with pensions for the late ,1 seen's domestics.

that government will pay far the maintenance of the
gaol. In other words, the Western Australians tell
the government that they are willing to accommodate
its gaol-birds with house-room, expecting in return
that some little jobs will be thrown in their way by
employing them as treaters, contractors for supplies,l
drc., Sc. Government beliefs the nuisance without
giving the quid pro quo.
This is not fair, and a certain latitude of grumbling
may be allowed on the part of the Western Austra-
lians. Bat they rather overshoot the mark when
they talk about " being subjected to the contamination
and infamy inseparable from a penal settlement." It
is not the "contamination and infamy" they are in-
dignant at; it is the being bilked of the price for
which they offered to submit to that "contamination
and infamy."

MILITARY.

DECEASED COLONELS OF RIODIENTS.-.Dating last year
eleven colonels of regiments died, via., tbzs• of cavalry, and
eiett of infantry regiments.
THE COMMANDIR-IN•CHIRY or INDIA.—It will be seen
by the destatches received from India on Saturday, that so
far from Sir Charles Napier intending to return home on the
expiration of his first year's command (as was confidently
stated would be the case by several contemporaries), the gat-
lent general does not express the least intention of giving up
this lucrative and important appointment.
THE COMUANDEII OP THE lORCES IN IRELAND.—Lient-
General Sir Edward Slakeney has lately arrived in Dublin
and resumed the command of the troops.
Tea VACANT CoLorincras.—The colonelcies of the 68:h
and 80th regiments are still vacant, although the latter has
been vacant about six weeks. The Major Generale named
in military circles fur these lucrative appointments, are
Major-Generals Daubeney, Mercer, and 'Ferguson. The
two first are now named a, the fortunate candidates.
THE BAZHACIL-MASTIRSHIP AT STOCEPORT:PIiS ap-
pointment is just vacated by the death of Capt. Swine,.
ROYAL Hone OCAIDS.—In the middle of this week this
regiment (which la to move in three divisions), will arrive
at Kids-park barracks from Canterbury.

TUE AYLESBURY SAYINGS BANK.—A flat 1/1 bank-
ruptcy hsving been issued against Henry Stratton (clerk to
Mr. Jumps James, solicitor, of Aylesbury, the secretary to the
savings bank), who Is by this tame with his w

cluding his furniture sad other available assets, will now be
secured for the benefit of his creditors, as well as to nuke
Tod. as far as it will r, the amount he has abstracted from
• deposits in the savings bank. There will be two grounds
for his hung claimed to be given op by the United States
by the English government—first, for his having forged the
names of several of the depositors in the bank to receipts ;
aid secondly, for not surrendering taiga fiat. The Secretary
if Stets hes consented to take the necessary steps to cause
the apprehension of the fugitive in America and hia return to
this country ; but declines, as Is customary in all similar
oases, to bear the expenses attending sure a proceeding. The
sods which Stratton adopted to mystify the accounts end
ti " cook " the books of the beak, to deceive the Motets
and managess as well is Mr. James, the Secretary, was of •
character to disarm suspicion, and was only to be discovered
by the closest investigation and the strictest scrutiny.

SARAWAK.

By the Sri Singapura, we have intelligence from
this quarter to the 7th met. Sir James Brooke and
most of the European inhabitants left on the morhing
of the 16th with seven boats, for Lingo, with the in-
tention of erecting a new fort on the Sakarran to hold
the pirates in check. Seriff Houssan had presented
the ammunition and stores required for furnishing
this fort, and it wu probable that he would be left in
charge. The whole was expected to be completed in
about three weeks. Sir James Brooke had recovered
somewhat from his recent severe attack of sickntss,
and will probably soon visit Singapore before pro-
ceeding to Labuan.—Singapore Free Press, Nov. 30.
MANILLA.

Nov. 27.—The occurrence of several severe ty
phoons, accompanied with heavy rains, had caused con-
siderab'e damage throughout the Archipelago, but
especially in the cultivated provinces of Luconia,
coffee, and sugar cane, 'I:, carrying away houses,
destroying the standing crops of no, cacao, cotton,
convents, and churches in its fury. On November
15th, at eleven, P.M., a heavy shock of an earthquake
was felt at Manilla, the tremblement being from east
to west, followed by a slighter shock on the evening
of the 16th. From the Manilla journals we re-
gret to learn the loss of the English barque
Falcon, from Sydney bound to Manilla, oa October
16, in a bay on the west coast of Panay : a
lady, child, and female servant, with 14 of the crew
were picked up in boats by the Spanish ship Bella
Vssgongada, in the Mindoro Sea. We also regret
to record the loss of the ship Cumberland, Lewis, of
London, laden with a cargo of rice from Bally, bound
to Hong Kong ; the Cumberland foundered about 40
miles from the port of Santiago ; two passengers (one
being Mr. Dawson, the owner) and 28 men wore
saved, bat the captain and five seamen perished. Two
Spanish vessels, the Conatante and Hozario, had also
r been wrecked.

IRELAND.

Destax, Jeri. 18.
ou Thereon no prt retence for representiog the 'Net-
ts; 412 as a great popular demonstration.
It liel aft melee element about it than any
..etpeilleamen~ ever held in this country for
I and can only be considered as •
felliCZWllers held in support of the special
Mermen of their own body. The great speech of the
Sty, in point of length, was that of Mr. Batt, who
occupied nearly two tours in addressing the meeting,
but the early departure of the mails prevented
your reporter from giving it at length, and
although I now send it entire I apprehend
you will not think it of sufficient importance
to publish now; Mr. Butt spoke merely as an advo-
cate, and attended, no doubt, for the purpose of com-
batting any free trader who might have ventured to
defend his principles. However, his duties in that
capacity were not required, for not the least indica-
tion of a desire to infringe on the conditions of admis-
sion was evinced by any person present. Two or
three times the Orangemen, who were brought to fill
a epos in the body of the hall, got up the Kentish
fire, to the annoyance of some liberal and Roman Ca-
tholics gentlemen who were present, and who did not
hesitate to express their disapprobation ; bat, with
that exception, the proceedings passed off with per-
fect tranquillity.
The day has not yet been fixed for the aggregate
meeting of the citizens in favour of free trade; but
the Freeman says it is probable that it will be held
about the middle of the ensuing week. Some of the
protectionist orators, among the rest Mr. Butt, have
intimated their intention of attending the meeting for
the purpose of discussing the question, and if they
carry out this promise it will be one of the most in-
teresting that has been held in Dublin for a long
time. The Mail boasts of the landlord assemblage at
the Rotondo, where all dispersion was prohibited, as
a " great national meeting," and exults in the elo-
quence displayed on the occasion; Mr. Fitzgibbon,
the master tailor, and Mr. Boylan, the paperstainer—
both, front the character of their callacge, as they
themselves admitted, depending on aristocratic pa-
tronage for support—being put forward by the pro-
tectionist organ as Coryphei of their elm, with a
vain effort to give the proceedings a popular character
which they d.d not possess.

O'Ferrall, brother of the Governor of Malta, has been

SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.

TO THE EDITOR UPTHO

Stu,—The friecde of Lady Franklin were Mich
gratified by the promptness shuwn by the Express and
other influenial pa en by the insertion of a letter stating
her disbelief in the authenticity of the lut report relative to
Sir John Franklin's safety. That letter, from a gentleman
connected with the gal ant oflines family, had two objects
in view: Ist. To save Lily Fret-kiln from the suffaing to
which she would be exposed by congratulations pouring in
from mar y quarters on an announcement for which then

wee no aßlC.rity or any probable foundation in truth ;
To prevent any reltxati_n in the efforts now in progress for
•he relief of those brave, and moot probably suffering men
for whom to much deep national as well as personal interest
is excited._

To this kindly feeling of the press there was but one ex-
ception—the Times thought flt to publish the report, without
the c,ntradiction forwarded to the editor : the bane, but not
the antidote. And the day of the insertion was that on which
the American mail was despatchtd. 8s that unless the con
traiction inserted in eh the princi;tcl journals, the Tines
excepted, bad not acc)mpanied the re pit in is way ammo
the Atlantic, the generous spirit manifested by the Americans
in this noble muse might hay, been eringuished, under a
belief that its 'tertian was no longer rt paired.

THE RUSSIAN LOAN,

GREAT MEETING IN THE CITY.
We 'smiths proceedings at this meriting up to the hour of
going to press yesterday.
H. COBDEN, Esq., M.P., on coming forward, was moss
enthusiastically cheered. He said—l have the honour of
proposing to you the first resolution, which I will read. It
is as follows
- -

" That the government of Russia having proposed to raise
in this country a loan of five millions and a half, professedly
for the purpose of completing a railroad from Bt. Petersburg
to Hesoow, but many to replenish the imperial exchequer.
exhausted by the expenses of the war in Hungary, this meet.
leg is of opinion that to lend money to the Emperor of
Russia for such an object would v.rtually be to sanction the
deeds of violence and blood committed by him in Hungary,
and to furnish him with the tempution and the means lox
carrying on future schemes of sggrsssion and conquest."
I congratulate the Peace Sxisty and the friends of peace
in this country that the Emperor of Russia has been obliged
—unconsciously beets obliged, sa we must as a matter of
courtesy suopose—("cheers," and laughter)—to affix his
sass to a document which is not true, in order to obtain a
