Charles Ban.., coffee-home keeper, of Peed-street, Ped-
ant" war charged with assaulting a eonstablo in the em-
plo_y dike Great Western Railway Company.
The policeman had been posted at the entrance of the
Great Western terminus, near Praed.stnet, to prevent people
collecting there to " tout " for the coffee-houses. On at-
tempting to remove the defendant, who was "touting"
among the rest, defendant assaulted him.
Fined 2.05. _ _ _ _

Another onfoo-house keeper was fined Kle. end cone for
!respiring on the company's line fors similar purpose.

James Gunn was charged with plundering his employers,
Messrs. Hopkins and Co., silk mercers and drapers, of Noe
61 and 62, fth-street, Shoredttch.
The prisoner carried on a business at Norwood, under the
superintendence of hie wife, and was at the same time in the
service of Moms. Hopkins, as " shop•welker." He had
been in the habit of purchasing goods from the firm for his
chop at Norwood, sod nothing had occurred to shake the
con6denoe in him by his employers until the momiwt
before when a pious of ribbon found in the library awakwed
anspielem, and Mr. Pegge asked the prisoner if he had az
objection to his accompanying him to hie hones at No,
and lookingover his stock. The prisoner replied that he
not the slightest objection, and, accompanied by the booking
clerk, they proceeded to Norwood. On examining the sleek
they found 7 valuable shawls. 6 or 7 milk handkerchiefs, and
39 pair of kid gloves, amounting altogether in value to about
161, besting the private marks of the firm, and of which
there were no entries in the book ea articles sold to the pri-
mmer. The prisoner admitted he had led the goods from the
firm, sad when handed the book and asked to show the en-
tries which should have been made of than, his reply was
that the articles must have been entered IN something else.
The gloats found supplied the most conclusive evidence
against the amused. They were discovered in akm stowed
away amongst some appezently meter lumber under the
shop-window, and bore the private marks of the prosecutors.
He ma committed for trial.

SOUTHAMPTON,FiIIMer.

The Alhambra has arrived with the Peninsular
Mails, she left Lisbon on the 19th inst., amongst her
cargo is specie to the value of 1,7961. sterling.
At Gibraltar the wind has shifted, and enabled
100 windbound ships to pass through the Straits to
the westward.

Oporto bar is now clear of the wreck of the Bac-
chante. About ninety vessels are at anchor there,
waiting to go in.
A report on the railway question has been
presented to the Portuguese Cortes, and a
project of law is to ratify it. Sir Morton
Veto has engaged to embody a company for
the formation of the railway in accordance
with the commercial code of Portugal, within six
months. The former contractors of the Central
Peninsular Railway have forwarded the accounts of
their unsettled claims against the Portuguese govern-
ment, through the Foreign-office. Sir Morton l'eto
first asked the Portuguese government to guarantee
a minimum interest of 7 per cent. on the capital
employed on the railways, but he was afterwards
induced to accept of a subvention of so
much per kilometre. When the Eastern railway is
finished, an annual charge of SOO contos of reis will
devolve upon the state, but the amount will aug-
ment gradually from a low figure as the different
parts are completed, so as to enable the Treasury to
meet the demand. In the railway report presented
to the Cortes, the government is authorised to
rescind the contract made with the Central Peninsu-
lar Railway Company, by indemnifying the share-
holders. The new railway company is to be
exempt from taxation for twenty years,
and to have the right of working all
mines near each side of the railway. The
payment to the company under the subvention is to
be made every three months. The government
cedes to the company all the state lands through
which the railway passes. Sir Morton Veto is to
make a deposit of 20,0001. sterling within one
month after the commencement of the works, as a

MINES:-THIS DAY.

Two O'CLOCK.
This being settling

The Nouveau Monde Company have received very favour-
able mars from the mines they are working In Central
America. The deepest or edit level in the of Sin Pan-
taloon was driven about 11 yards in the month, and yielded
20 tons of rick silver ore, at • wet for labour of tau than 201.
The total raising of ore in the month was 42 toes, worth
about 2,000 L, N./bra would leave, it is estimated, a profit of
1,0001. after mak of the ore in England.
We notice that the Bolivar estate, in Veuecuels,with its
ossa4mines, extending over a territory of about 32 1=
in and from ft to 10 leagues in width, is to be

is called for the Ist of July.

MONDAY ii9NINO,

The market for home mining stocks today war-
quiet, owing partly to the settlement now in pro-
gress. East Basset shares were quoted rather better,
and Wheal Edward were inquired for. Devon
Great Consols and Condurrow were fiat.
St. John del Rey and Cobre shares have declined. •
Those of the General Mining Association (Nova

SATURDAY EVENING.

The disquieting news from India occasioned to-
day a fall of 1 per cent. in the funds, the weakness
of which was increased by the knowledge of the
extent to which speculators for higher prices are
already committed. In the afternoon the market
was somewhat firmer, and the closing quotations
were about 1 per cent. below those of yesterday. Al
the other Stock Exchange markets also gave way,
and closed lower than yesterday, though rather
firmer in the latter part of the day. The
fortnightly settlement in shares commenced to-day,
and this market derived some support from the
discovery that very moderate rates of interest will
be required from speculative holders.
The money market to-day exhibited no new
' feature. There is a steady demand, Ist the Bank
minimum rate of 6 per cent.

description, end the arrangements, which were under the
immediate ruperintendence of Mr. Fling*, left nothing to be
desired fur the comfort or convenience of the guesto.
Afire the usual loyal and patriotic toasts had been dis-
posed of,
The CHAIRRAN, in proposing the toad oi the evening,
" Prespstrity to the Institution;' raid that to justify the
foundation of • new hospital a strong ease ought always, to be
made out ; but in the present ease with a large and increasing
population springing up about the dock,whete accidents were
of daily occurrence, it was absolutely nem...miry to provide
some means of relief closer at hand than the existing heepis
pitab, the nearest of which was three miles distant. As
soon as the proposal was made it was warmly
taken up, and the result showed how much an
hospital was required in the district. Since the
hospital had been opened, leas than two years, 2,315
eases of accidents had been relieved, of which 479 weft, so
merlons as to require admission into the hospital; and in ad-
dition, over 2,000 outdoor patients had ties n attended to.
The toast was received with the greotert enthusiasm' and
the sstretary afterwards announced the amount of aubserip-
buns to be 1,7001., including 5001. from Nlessre. Gurney, in

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE SECRET TREATY.

The Cboutitutionnel of this day contains the follow-
ing semi-oMcial article, signed by its political dire
tor, M. RenCv

A smart debate took place a few days wince in the Home
of COMMODE, upon a matter particularly conoerning the
Freacb government. A celebrated orator, the leader of the
°nattiest, M. Disraeli, alarmed that a secret treaty, dating
from the period of the Eastern war, existed between. Francs
end Austria, In virtue of which the latter power was guaranteed
the secure possession of her Italian province*: he added that
this treaty had been fully executed, and that it contained no
eatensible limit to its duration. Lord Palmereton, replying
to M. Disraeli, showed that these allegations
were incorrect. What really took place was, we
believe, as follows:—The treaty of Dec. 2,
stipulated eventually, as is known, for the assistance of the
Austrian army in the struggle with Russia. The cabinet of
Vienna, however, represented at that time that it could not
safely engage in the war of which the East wee the theatre
so long a its Italian possessions were menaced by the
agitation which parties kept up in the Peninsula.
Austria consequently demanded, before she entered in lies
of battle with us, that her rear should be secured from
danger. Circumstance lent a powerful support to Austria's
demand. It was, in fact, very Important to calm her appro.
hensions, and to remove every obstacle to the cumin
of the treaty. France, therefore, entered into nego.
tiations 'on the point with the cabinet at Vienne, end
engaged by the convention in qaestion to employ her slats
to maintain order in Italy so long as the campaign sheath
last. The only object was simply to mews to Austria the
liberty of action neeeseary to enable bee to meow
effect►vely in the collective operations of the ails.
Such were the motives sad such was the import of
this arrangement dictated by such immense interests,
but obligatory only in the ease of Austria actively *s-
lag ns, and declaring war &gained Russia. The conven-
tion was, therefore, essentially eventual and Minatory. It
was an act called for by the war, a *mere de dram...lame,
somewhat analogous to the measures which woes adopted by
the allies in respect to Oreeee, when that power endeavoured
to stir up insurrection in Themaly and Epirus in favour
of Russia. As is well known, the ever•oalities provided for
never took piece. Austria did not declare war ; she never
thew the sword. The subject matter of the convention,
therein*, never had any existence, and this act, whatever
M. Disraeli may say, never came into operation, and does
not exist; the peacerendered it a dead letter.
London, England, 1857-02-21

leads us to think that this would be the mode se-
lected by the Government. The floating debt is
already enormous, and the Treasury would, we ap-
prehend, be desirous of withdrawing some three or
four millions from circulation, and fixing it in the
hands of the Bank. But in whatever way the new
capital of the Bank of France may be employed,
it is not likely to relieve the pressure for
discounts unless it be accompanied by the
power to fix the rate of interest according
to the current demand. An increase of guarantee
capital would authorise an extension of the circula-
tion ; but if notes were issued at a lower rate of in-
terest than is commanded in other and neighbouring
countries, it is clear that these notes would be con-
verted into cash, that the proceeds would be trans-
mitted to those markets where a higher rate of inte-
rest could be obtained, and that the Bank reserve of
bullion would be rapidly diminished. At present the
Bank of France can only charge 6 per cent. on ilia-
counts, so that in a time of pressure it is compelled to
confine it. advances to bills having only a short time
to run, shutting out a vast mass of legitimate commer-
cial paper from the scope of its action. Werethis modi-
fication adopted an important point would be gained;
but while the commerce of France is increasing so
rapidly, and needs every reasonable facility for its
expansion, we should regret to see the Bank of
France diverting its funds, as heretofore, from their
legitimate objects, and devoting them to stimulating
speculation in shares, and to facilitating the creation
of new schemes, which are already produced with a
most dangerous sapidity.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter from Vienna, of the 13th, in the
Bur setehalle of Hamburg, says :—" At • conference,
held two days ago here, between Baron de Werner,
Baron Koller, and the Ambassadors of England and
Turkey, the latter declared that Turkey would never
consent to the union of the Principalities, not even
should the divans pronounce in a great majority for
that measure. Sir Hamilton Seymour spoke in the
same sense."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(PROW OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, FRIDAY ETININO.
The following telegraphic despatches appear in
the Pays:
A private letter from Vienna ensures as that telegraphic
accounts received there state that the town of Bolgrad was to
be offirially delivered over by the Russian authorities to the

of the Moldavian government on Feb. 127

A letter from Hermit, of the 6th, elates that Sir Henry
Bulwer, the Commurry of the English government for the
question of the Prindpalitice, had arrived in that city the
evening before, from Constantinople. Sir Henry is, it is
said, charged with a private mission in Syria.
Letters from the Pincus of the llth state that the stoun-
frigstes Aamodir and Cacique, arriving from Toulon, had
anchored in the port, and that tho embarkation of the troops
was to commence the next day.

The rise at the Bourse goeson,and the " bears" are
in a state of great alarm. The ltente rose 30c. for
cash and 50c. for account, closing at 69tr., 80fr., and
70fr. The latter figure, which was touched early
in the day, tempted some realisations and produced
a reaction of 23c., but fresh purchases were rapidly
made, the lost ground was recovered, and the turn-
ing point was firmly established in the afternoon.
Bets were freely offered that the Bente will be at
72fr. in the first week in March. The bullion in the
Bank of France is understood to be rapidly
augmenting. A further increase of eleven mil-
lions is spoken of, in addition to the six millions
which I mentioned yesterday. It is scarcely doubted
that the Bank will very soon discount bills with
ninety days to run. The railway market was very
brisk. Orleans rose 201 r. ; Southern 10fr. ; and the
other lines from 2fr. 50e. to 3fr. The Beziers shares
were in demand, it appearing that one of the treaties
connecting this company with the Graiavesaae mines
was signed yesterday.

THE CASE OF THE MURDERER MANSELL.

The execution of this prisoner was to have taken
place on the fah instant, but a respite has been sent, delaying
the carrying out of the ecetcnce until the 11th of May, in
order that the legal point ruisnl by his counsel, Mr. Russell,
as to the validity of the jury by whom he wss triad, may be
ant sligpmed el; and ea the Court of Queen's Bench decided
not to interline the argulnent until the conclusion of the
present term, it was necessary fur the MIAOW) to be respited
fur this bug period. It will Le tee ellected that at the trial
the only defence set up for the prison, was, that Le was not
in a state of wind to be accountable fur iris actions ut the
time ho deliberately shot the unfortunate man for whose
murder he was tried. There does not appear, however, tho
slightest ground for supposing that Lis wind ix at all affected ;
but, on the contrary, he menu to Lo perils cloy aware of the
character of his crime, and his only dean, appears to be that
he may escape the capital punishment ; indeed, immediately
alter the trial he said that he should nut have cared if
he had been only rentenced to tr.unsportattiuu for life.
Ile mite and drink. heartily, and is now evidently
strongly impressed with the ides that, after having
been twice respited, and so lung a delay being
granted, the sentence of death will not be earned
oat ; and although Mr. Ilillianl, the newly appointed
governor of Maidstone gaol, loot fromently impressed
upon him the necessity of preparing fur the worst,
and explained to him the circumstances under which the
respites have been grunted, and that in the event of the point
of law being decided against him, the sentenee would no
doubt be carried into effect, it appears to have very little
weight, and Le evidently feels a strong runvietioa that his
life will Le spared. 'lwo extra turnkeys are employed to watch
the prisoner, one being constantly with Lim during
the day, and the other at night, so that ho
Is never left alone. It has already been explained
that the ground upon which the ',flamer has been
respited, was, that the counsel for the crown had im-
properly challenged one of the jurors without ("twee, but it
poems that sines the :natter has been bruirght before the
Court of Queen's Bench, a new objection Las been started,
and it will 110 contended that the prisoner was entitled to hove
the juryman who was objected to euipuneUed to try him,
and that having been improperly put in peril, by the jury-
man having been rejected improperly, the whole pro-
ceeding was not only invalid, but that the prisoner cannot
again be put in jeopardy upon the WILMA eluirge ; and if this
objection, upon argument, should Le sustained, an order
win be made for the discharge of the priamer, and ho will
altogether escape the consequenees of his act.
