posed in such a manner as to constitute the most exact
representation of the interests of all classes of society.
These divans are to give expression to the wishes of the
population relative to the definitive organisation of the
Principalities. An instruction of the Congress will
regulate the relations of- the Commission with these
divans.
Article 25. Taking into consideratidn- the opinion ex-
pressed by the two divans, the Commission will, without
delay, transmit the result of its own labours to the pre-
sent seat of the Conferences. The final understanding
with the Suzerain Power will be recorded (consacree) in a
convention concluded at Paris between the high contract-
ing parties, and a hatti-scheriff conformable to the stipu-

treaty.
Artie7e 26. It. is agreed that there shall be in the Princi-
palities an armed national force organised with the object
of maintaining the security of the interior, and assuring
that of the frontiers. No impediment (entrave) is to be

defence, as, in accordance with the Sublime Porte, the
Principalities mar be under the necessity of taking (serai-
ent apperes a prendre) to repulse any foreign aggression.
Article 27. If the internal tranquillity of the Principali-
ties should be menaced or compromised, the Sublime

contracting Powers, as to the measures to be taken to
maintain or re-establish legal order. No armed interven-
tion can take place without a previous accord with these
Powers.
Article 28. The Principality of Servia will continue to
be dependent upon (a re7ever de) the Sublime Porte con-
formably to the Imperial Ilatts, which fix and determine
its rights and immunities placed henceforth under the col-
lective guarantee of the contracting Powers.
In consequence the said Principality will preserve its
independent and national adm;nistratioo as well as full
liberty of worship, legislation, commerce, and navigation.
Article 29. The right of garrison of the Sublime Porte,
such as is stipulated for by anterior regulations, is main-
tained. No armed intervention is to take place in Servia
without a previous accorkbetween all the contracting
Powers.
Article 39. His Majesty the' Empror of all the Russias
and his Majesty the Sultan keep in its integrity the state
of their possessions in Asia, such as it existed legally
before the rupture.
In order to prevent any local !contest, the boundary of
the frontier will be verified, and if need be, rectified, but
so as that no territorial prejudice shall result to either of
the two parties from any such rectification.
With this view a mixed commission, composed of two
Russian Commissioners, two Ottoman Commissioners, one
French Commissioner, and one English Commissioner,
shall be sent to the locality (sur lee lieur) immediately
after the re establishment of diplomatic relations between
the Court of Russia and the Sublime Porte. The labours

tions of the present treaty.

French, the Emperor of Austria, the Queen of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the King of

Constantinople on March 12, 1854, between France, Great
Britain, and the Sublime Porte, shall be evacuated as
soon as possible (aussitot que faire se pourra), after the
ratification of the present treaty. The time within which
the evacuation is to be effected (lee delais) and the means
of execution will be the subject of a convention between
the Sublime Porte and the powers whose troops occupy
the territories.
Article 32. Until the treaties or conventions which
existed before the war between the belligerent powers
shall have been renewed or replaced by new acts, the com-
merce of importation or e) portation shall go on recipro-
cally upon the footing of the rules in force before the war,
and their subjects shall in all other respects (en toute autre
maniere) be respectively treated upon the footing of the
most favoured nation,
Article 33. The Convention concluded this day between
their Majesties the Emperor of the French. the Q leen of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland of one
part, and his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias of
the other part, relative to the Aland Isles, is and
remains annexed to the present treaty, and shall have the
same force and value as If it had made part of it.
Article 34. The present treaty shall be ratified, and the
ratifications shall be exchanged in Paris within the space
of four weeks, or sooner, if possible.
In faith of which the respective Plenipotentiaries
have signed it, and have hereto affixed the seal of their

POLICE COURT

.-YESTERDAY

(BEFORE MR, C. S. PARKER.)
STREET Ronnsay.—Martin Anderson, a seafaring man,
charged Anne Heney and Michael Melid with stealing
£5 Ss from him. Mr. Bluck was for the prisoners. The
female met the prosecutor in Paradise-street, and in
the course of some conversation she ton the money, and
the male prisoner came up.at the timujand assisted her
in making her escape. Amongst the money stolen were
some American coin. Police constable 314 stated that,
he found. some American coins in the house where the
prisoners were arrested, and these coins were identified
by the complainant. Mr, Black contended there was no
evidence against the man. Ile was remanded, and the
female was sent to gaol for three months.
• CHARGE es Brokm r.Margaret Rooney 'was charged
with bigamy under the following circumstances : —The
prisoner was in custody of detective officer Astie, who
had arrested her on Tuesday, in Latimer-street, on the
charge of her first husband, James -Watkins, to whom
she was married in December, 1845, in Saint Peter's
church. It was alleged that in January, 1851, she was
ag-ain married in the same church to one John Rooney,
former husband (Watkins) being at the time, and
husbands were present in court. Mr.
The only witness

Block defended the
called for the prosecution was the mother of
the prisoner, who stated that sh 3 was present in
St. Peter's Church, when the prisoner was married to
James Watkins ; they resided together about eight
months, and then Watkins ran off with another woman,
and remained away fourteen months- After a short
stay at home, during which period she described his
conduct of the most abominable description, he again
went away, and nothing was heard of him for more than
eight years. She was present at the second marriage of
her daughter, with Rooney, in January 1851, in St.
Peter's Church. In reply to Sir. Black, the witness
said. after the man was about two years away, ail trace
of him was lost, and he was never heard of after, until
the other day, when he returned. After he had been
two or three years away, she had heard that he was
dead, and the prisoner as well as witness, and all her
family went into mourning for him, although he was a
bad titian, and a worse husband. Upwards of seven
years more elapsed, when she heard he was alive. Mr.
Parker : Was he at sea ? Witness : Not at all, sir ; he
went off with a woman first, and lived about London,
and then went for a soldier, and we heard he died some-
where abroad. Mr. Bluck contended, that in point of
law and fact, the prisoner was not guilty. He alluded
to the act of parliament on the subject, and argued that
the evidence clearly proved his client's innocence. Mr
Parker censured the conduct of the man; and said he
could not, on this evidence, send the woman for trial.
He therefore discharged her, and she left the court in
company of her latter husband, who watchedthe proceed-
ings with great apparent anxiety:
(BEFORE MR. MANS FIE LD. )
CANNIBALISM —Two sailors named William Campbell,
and Richard Lyons, were charged with having com-
mitted a very desperate assault on a person
named Ed ward Morley. On Sunday night last,
the prosecutor was standing at the corner of
Sparling-street, where there was a row between some
sailors and unfortunate women. The prisoners were
engaged in the fight, and from the evidence it would
appear that they acted in a very savage manner, without
apparent provocation. They knocked the complainant
down, kicked and beat him violently, and one of
them actually bit the greater portion of his nose clean
off. The prisoners were fully committed for trial.
VIOLENT ASSAULT ON THE POLlCE,—William Inman,
alias Kelly, was charged with having committed a violent
assault on police constable Jenkins, 578. Mr. Bluck
appeared for the prisoner. It appeared that there was a
serious row in Saltney-street, and that when the police
went to quell it, the prisoner got upon the wall, armed
himself with brickbats, and uttered a vow that he would
kill the first policeman that approached him. The
officer, however, did approach him, notwithstanding the
threat, and the prisoner, true to his vow, made a blow at
him with a brick, which missed his head, and struck
him on the leg and foot, inflicting injuries that will
probably prove of a permanent description, Mr. Bluck,
Was about to call witnesses, as he said he was instructed
to prove an alibi, but his worship intimated his intention
of sending the case before a jury.. The prisoner was then
committed for trial.
(BEFORE MESSRS. PARKER AND BOLTON.)
THERE •IS SOMETII IN G IN A . NAM
looking person, named Patience Gay, said to be the
owner of two shops in the clothing line, in Park-lane,
was summoned by a pretty looking young woman named
Jane Delaney, for having assaulted her. Mr. Black was
for the complainant, and Mr. Campbell for the defence.
The details of the case created considerable merriment
in court, but without entering into that particular por-
tion which caused the laughter, the following will be
sufficient to elucidate the whole case. About three
years since the complainant lived for about three weeks
with the defendant as servant. During that Short time,
it seemed that Mrs. Gay imagined that her, husband's
conduct towards Miss Delaney partook too much of his
name, and the latter was forthwith dismissed the
service. Since that time, Mr. Gay, rn* some reason that
did not transpire, imagined that there was communion--
by the " spirit medium"—between.Mr. .Gay and the
fair complainant, and this, certainly, did not. cause the
" moments" to be to the defendant • such as are
" beautifully" expressed by the poetin the line
" still the moments roll."
It would appear that in order to try whether or
not her suspicions were well founded, the defendant
a few days since, sent one of her shopboys to
the complainant with a message to the effect that Mr.
Gay wanted to see her. She went to the shop of
