SURREY SESSIONS.

Yesterday morning, the Jasuary Gemini Quarter Sm-
og= for the couoty of Surrey commenced at the fiessious
Haan, Newington-causeway, before J. E. Johnson, Esq.,
chairman ; Thom.. Titans, Eon., deputy-chairman ; and a
full bench of magistr.ites, consisting of the Earl of Loyelaoe,
lord lieutenant 11 the county; Mr. Garner, M.P., high
sheriff ; Lord I...raine, Y.P. ; 9ir William Jolliffe, M.P. •
Mr. Briscoe, Y.P. ; Mr. 4au, Y.P. • Sir George Lytle,
M.P. ; Colonel 4 balmier, W. A. Wilkinson, Major Bam-
ford, Colonel Williams, kr..

The calendar was extremely light, containing the Deepen
of only 14 priatmen for trial-10 for felon y and four fur
misdemeanour. The case.are of the usual kind. The cab-
man for robbing Mrs. Crtgg of her watch sod chain under
peculiar circumstances will he tiled there seesna.
The name* of the grand jury hawing been called over, two
of the absent gentlemen were fined si. each.
The proclamation against vice and immorality was reed
by the Deputy Clerk of the Peace, end the grand jury were
worn.

The Chairman said he was sorry that the pntlemen of
the grand jury should be again required to do theme duties,
as he had hopes, when he &dimmed them last
year, that an alteration would have taken place in
the law, sad that their services, as far as the
stetropolitaa districts were coneened, would have
, been dispensed with. Their duties wen, however, so
anoint, and is some instances of great importance, that it
would perhaps be isoprene to interfere with them in •
burned manner. The cases now sent for trial were care-
', fully investigated by police magistrates, and the petty jury
were quite sulkiest to deal with them. He was happy to
my that during the last year there had ban s coesrable
decrease of mme, especially among the class of juvenile
olhaden. They had reduced in this county to 46 per cent,
whines to other counties in the kingdom the average we
34 per art. The reformatories had mused this decrease,
min $ short time there would be establishwi a reformatory
la Ws nasty. After some further remarks he dismissed
the goad jury to their duties.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nom ova ows

PARIS, SUNDAY &IMMO.
The Coludittaiceinel desires to protest emphati-
cally against the following passage in yesterday's
Debate:

The reeognition by France of the Southern States would
not Indeed constitute a breach of neutrality in the eye of
international law ; but that is mere theory, for, in a mon'
and politics' point of view, neutrality would be at an end;
although France world not have throe a her sword into the
scale, she would have pledged her influence, and that is
what she ought not to do.

" says the Constifutionnei, "is an idea
which would never have occurred to ns ; we would
never have written such a sentence. Our dissent
' vom the Dards on this theme is profound, irrecon-
cileable, absolute. We know the strength of our
country ; we are quite of opinion that this immense
strength should be well husbanded and reserved
for great occasions ; the sword of the Charlemagass
and Napoleons should only leap from the scabbard
when French interests and French glory call for its
services. But French influence never abdicates.
We do not remember—we will not remember—

that there ever was a government in France
capable of acting upon such a maxim ; but if such
a government ever did exist it must have vanished,
to use the words of the poet, ' without so much as.
leaving its ahadow on the wall.' "

After this hit at the Orleanist party, of which it
assumes the Debate to be the representative, the.
Constitutionnet proceeds to say, in the spirit of the
Nmperor's famous proclamation declaring that
France had an interest wherever there was a great
idea to be served :

We ray, for our own parts, that French inflames
should be exercised everywhere and every how, honestly awl
openly, d aoaree ; that this inflow:ice should be felt at the
oOportaas moms* ea the beaks of the Mississippi, just
as mach as in Syria sad in the Fist, just u much as ia
every pert of the globe when than is a French tradition tol

THE CITY GAS QUESTION.

At the City Court of Sewers on Tuesday Mr.
Deputy PILCH= presented a petition, signed by upwards of
NV of the inhabitants of the ward of Bishopegate, praying
that the court would consider the subject of gas supply to
the City, and the propriety of an application to parliament
for an amendment of the existing act, or for the exemption
of the City from its operation, or for the erection of work'
by the corporation to supply the inhabitants of (this City
with gaa. Mr. Deputy Filcher, in presenting the petitioo,
said that the inhabitants of his ward had been very much
deceived and disappointed at the course which had been
taken by the gas companies, more especially the Great
Central GU Company, whom the inhabitants of Bishopagate
had eupported, with the understanding that they should have
1,000 feet of gas at a price not greater than 45., and even
looked forward to a further reduction. It would be a
source of great satisfaction if they would retrace their
steps ; and if something were not done his constituents were
prepared to light it out, and be would take the opportunity
of saying that there was no want of capital or iuclioatioo.
Ile then moved that the petition be referred to the special
committee appointed to consider the gas question.
Mr. PRICKER seconded the motion.

After ;lengthy di;;;;;; the motion wan formally put to
the court, and carried unanimously.

(THIS DAY.)

The supply of beasts is by no means excessive, yet the
demand is not so good as on Monday, and consequently
the prices of that day are scarcely maintained. There are a
few more sheep than on Thursdaylast,but the average quality
is inferior ; best qualities, therefore, are as dear as on Mon-
day. Trade is dull for calves, and prices are rather lower.
From Germany and Holland there are 210 beasts, 2,760
sheep, and 264 calves ; Ireland, 30 calves ; Spain, 80 benzin;

Yesterday morning, between 5 and 6 o'clock, a
terrible accident occurred near Helmond station, between
three and four miles from Shrewsbury, on the Welsbpool
line, uow nearly completed, by which two men were killed
and seven or eight other* frightfully wounded. Mr. Frans,
the contractor, runs a train, consisting of an engine, .
ballast-waggons or trucks, and a guard's van, slog
the line from Shrewsbury to Middletown, a distance of four-
teen miles, for the convenience of the workmen. Nearly
two hundred leave Shrewsbury every morning, and re-
turn at night. The train left the station as usual
shortly after five o'clock yesterday morning, and all went
right for the first few miles. Just before they
reached Mermaid, it was observed that the trucks suddenly
began to oscillate, and in an instant the last truck but one
tumbled over with a terrific crash down a slight embank-
ment, pitching the men out in all directions. The truck
which followed was also dragged down the embankment,
and those in that were also thrown out, but not with awl
violence, as the train was not proceeding at a rapid pace.
The break van was not thrown off the line, but the men in
it jumped out in the greatest consternation. It ie com-
puted there were about 20 men in each truck and 8 or 10 in
the van. The cries of the poor fellows were heartrend-
ing, and as soon as assistance could be procured it
was found that two men were killed on the spot, their
names being George llax, of Shrewsbury, carpenter, and
Joseph Hates, of the same place, labourer. They are both
married men with families. One had been driven against a
post outside of the line, and over the other the wheels of
the truck had ran, completely smashing him. Two other
men were fearfully mangled, and no hopes are entertained
of their recovery. Some six more were rather seriously
injured. Al soon as possible Mr. Blakeway, of Harwood
Mill, rendered assistance, and immediately forwarded the
injured men to the infirmary at Shrewsbury. Upon exa-
mining the trucks it was found that one of the
irons which ran underneath, and to which the coupling
chains are attached, Lad become loosened from con-
stant working, and while they were proceeding
along had worked out from beneath the third truck from the
end of the train. The lest truck but one came upon one
end of it, the other being driven against a rail, which turned
the truck completely over, thereby causing the accident.
The former put of the train proceeded for some di•tence
without the men being aware of the accident, as the morning
had not then broken. No blame is attached to any per-
son at present, but the facts will be elicited at the inquest,
which will be held to-morrow.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE AND ITALY.

A Paris correspondent of the Itulf,pendanee Belga
gives a rumour that the French government has
invited the Italian government to hasten the com-
pletion of its military organisation, so as to be
ready for any eventuality by the Ist of March.
The writer observes that this statement is sure to
be positively contradicted. So, he observes, have
of late several other rumours, which have subse-
quently proved well founded.
London, England, 1861-10-24

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The official journals of Vienna have published
the imperial patent fixing the direct duties for
1861-1862, the justification for this step is
thu fact that the budget has not yet been
discussed by the Council of the Empire. The
signature to the patent is that of the Archduke
Regnier, the Emperor being absent. "This for-
mality," says the Cologne Gaistfe, "is of little im-
portance for the Germanic Slave countries, who con-
sider the archduke as the alter ego of the Emperor ;
butfor Hungary, Croatia, and Transylvania, it is of
importance that the first valid patent for the whole
empire should bear the signature of the Emperor
and King. It is not thought that it would have
been better received, or more respected ; but the
Emperor is at least, according to the declaration of
M. Desk, the depository of actual power, the
King to crown, while the Archduke Regnier and
the Minister of Finance are for the taxpayers
on the other bank of the Leith* but
foreigners without authority. Who will pub-
lish this patent in Hungary, ? When published,
who will give it moral authority ? What Magyar
or Croat will conceive that it has the force of law in
his country without having the signature of any of
the authorities of that country ? The newly-ap-
pointed royal commissioners have not done well to
take such a patent as this to the Magyars."

CLERKENWELL.

Ale. Mark White, of the King's Head public•honee, in
Leather-lane, St. Andrew's, Holborn, was summoned before
Mr. Barker, at the instance of the Metropolitan Commis-

that you, being the pence licensed to keep the alehouse
known by the sign of the Ring's Head, situate in the parish,
&c., aforesaid, dad, on the 16th day of October instant, un-
lawfully and knowingly permit and suffer prostitutes and
pereous of notoriously bad character to meet together and
remain therein, contrary to the statute," &c.
Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared on behalf of the defendant;
and Mr. Inspector Allen watched the case on behalf of the

RAYMARKET.

A sketch, published some years since in Black-
wood's Megievise, and called " The Duke's Dilemma." has
furnished the materials for Mr. Torn Taylor's mew three-
act comely, d Duke is Difficulties, which was produced
amidst thunders of applause on Wednesday night. In its
magazioe shape the story was not original, having been
taken either from a German comedy or German romance ;
and those to whom these sources of lore are familiar will
not be surprised at learning that the plot of ►he piece is
in itself hut poor an.l meagre. A very few grains of wit,
a very little shred of aentiniset, urn to excite
the laughter or the tame et oar Teutonic friends, and
serve as Fasters halfpennyworth of bread to an intolerable
amount of dressy twaddle. Of course Mr. Taylor's work is
not open to this latter charge ; but it must be centered
that his piece is considerably spun out, and that the dia-
logue, which bristles with wit in the first act, is but very
commonplace in the second and third.
Mr. Howe and Xr. 'lockstep. worked bravely for the me
ems of the piece, sad so did Mr. Comptoo, who was tho-
roughly unsuited with his part. But the weight of the
piece rested with Mrs. Stirling, not so much from the pro.
mineoce of her character, as from the fact that the author
has taken advantage of the circumstance of the mother and
daughter being played by mother and daughter, to point
his dialogue with many personal pampa, which,
deriving additional interest from the adnikelble tact
with which they Win given by Mrs. Stirling, coated than-
den of applause. It was this favourite actress's ante* to
the Haymarket, after many years of absence, and right
royally she was welcomed. Miss Stirling played with great
natural simplicity and caraestasee, and sang a little song
with a pretty voice, meth' an motioned manner.
Mr. Buoke►eae saaranseed the comedy for rapetitica
amidst general shear*.

NOTICE OF MOTION.
2dr. CROEVI gave notice that cc the first day on which
there wax no bill before the legislature for the total aboli-
tion of church rates, he should ask for leave to introduce a
measure mainly framed on the second and third amend-
ments, which stood on the paper yesterday in his name, to
the bill of the hon. baronet (Sir J. Testingly).

ALLOWANCE TO OFFICERs.
Mr. GRIFFITH asked the Secretary to the Treasury
whether he wee aware that while the stoppage for forage is
Sid. per ration to the cavalry officer, its only &I. per
ration to the artillery officer; whether he could give any ade-
uate reason for such difference ; and. if not, whether the
were willing at least to equalise the deduction in
the two services.

Mr. F. PEEL said that the officers of the artillery, with
the exception of the horse artillery, received no forage at
all, but they recoived a commuted allowance in lieu of it.
With regard to the officers of the Horse Artillery, the rate
of stoppage in their cn•o was sixpence, but as that rate was
fixed in 1802 he could not ascertain the reason for fixing it at
that particular rate. The two services were so entirely dis-
similar that it was absurd to contrast the allowances made
in the one servi.mi with those made in the other.

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 8, 1861.

Mis not easy. If the North were resolved
terser ow to acquiesce in the secession proclaimed
at Montgomery, there are questions of a high order
of importance, some of them urgent and none
remote, which might endanger the peace and
friendship of the two communities. The demand
for the rendition of fugitive slaves would be as
difficult to refuse to • Southern President, dis-
posing of war steamers and an army, as it has been
heretofore when made by single States, and the
extension of the area of slavery on the American
continent by the new Confederation is a metier
Ito which the Northern republic could not be in-
I different. Mr. LINVOLN and his advisers may
think it just as well to meet these difficulties in a
plan for saving the Union, as to let the Union go,
and deal with them afterwards.

TH►: aimless debate raised by Mr. Pore HEN
sassy on Monday and concluded last night has
given us two things—a vigorous and high-toned
speech from Mr. GLADSTONE, not needed to
defend a foreign policy which the country has
endorsed, but nevertheless useful to restore order,
light, and truth to a subject which the Papal
orators had plunged in darkness and chaos—
and next, a specimen of the new Liberalism
which Mr. Itorovea has just imported from
Vienna. Mr. R"Esucx was not very strong for
the Italians last year ; he is now, however, for a
united Italy. We fear our readers would never
guess that this means Italy made one from the
bottom of the Peninsula "to the Mimic)."
Venice belongs not to Italy but to Austria.
This is novelty the first. The second is
that the Italians will be more inde-
pendent with Austria in the Quadrilateral
than if they held Venetia. The Austrians must
be kept there " to prevent the Italians becoming
" the vassals of France." There is only one
thing more to add. It is that anybody who cannot
sea these things as clearly as Mr. ROEBUCK, and
won't acknowledge that aU Austrian interests are
also English interests, is a fool.

couapppN OF INCOME TAX,

Mr. I.OOiE ,c;"Exchenver,
whether excisemen hall been employed by the Board of
inland Reverie to collect the lsnd, assewaL and income
taxes in the parA of Bermondsey, and elsewhere ; and, if
so, whether security had been given by them. and whether
they had token the oath of secrecy as collector' required
by the Income Tax Acts?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER mid that in
several cases since the act passed in 1854 for the purpose, it
had devolved upon the Board of Inked Revenue, in copse-
(peace of the inability of the local authorities, or of defal-
cations, to appoint collectors of income tax ; but as the
boo. member only referred to the particular instance of
Bermondsey, be would comfits, hie reply to that. The cue
of Bermondsey was aa follows. Certain persons were re-
tamed to the Commissioners of Laud and Assessed Taxes

to be appointed collectors for the parish of Bermondsey.
These persona were however found unable to give
the
.requisite security. That being so, the com-
missioners communicated with the parochial au-
thorities, and the latter reported that they were
unable to find fit persons in their stead. It then
devolved upon the Board of Inland Revenue to provide col-
lectors, and they offered the appointment to some persons
who had been formerly employed in the mule ;strawy in
the same district. At first they courrubxl to undertake
the duty, bat afterwards dechite,l, and epee the failure of
those efforts the hoard appointed four officers of their own,
and placed at the 'mewl of them one who had held the posi•
tint) of examiner. The first step taken was to swear the
officers to secrecy, but with respect to finding seeurity that
was not the system which had been pursued by the load
in reference to their officers. Of course men appoietcd by
the board in that manner owed no liability to the parish.
The practice adopted by the board. and experience bad
shown that it was the beet for the public service, was this :
that they did not require their officers to find security. bnt
required them to account fur and ray over de die In diem
whatever moneys they bad collected, and they likewise
made arrangemeuts to have their accounts examined at
short periods.
ARTERIAL DRAINAGE
Mr. MOODY asked the Secretary of State for. the Home
Department whether his proposed bill on arterial drainage
would be introduced before Enter ; and, if not, whether it
would be a bill to enusolidate and minced the various acts
on arteria: drainage Hod on general water sewers now in
force, or only to meet certain alleged defects in the exist-
ing law.
Ilk G. C. LEWIS said the bill was ins state of consider-
able ferwardoess, and be hoped to lie able to lay it on the
table before Easter.
