A correspondent pays that the fun of St. Valen-
tine's-day will be much curtailed this year, as the Pest-
master-General rotates to let country postmasters be privy,
under any circumstances, to deception as to the town to
which letters are written. Formerly a young lady at Scar-
borough (we will .ay) used to be natookbed at receiving a
valentine from an apparently unknown admirer at Penzance,
perhaps. The swain really lived at Scarborough, but he used
to send his letter, coder cover, to the postmaster of Pen-
zance, requesting Lim to let it bear the postmark of tke
latter town. Now such a letter will be forwarded to the
Deed Letter-aim, and sent from thence to the person to
whom it is addremed, with a statement as to where the
letter was written.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

Philippe Delfow, an eider! man, wan indicted, with
Ann Ansel, for keeping brothel. 9 and 10, gneen-ataroet,

Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Poland prosecuted for the parish
of St. James; Mr. Ribton defended bellows, and Mr.
J. Eyeliner defended Bond.

This case occupied the whole day, and the evidence of
many witnesses, foreign girls, who admitted they lived by
prostitution, proved that the defendant Haifa,e lived and
derived a very considerable income from their course of life,
b 7 letting apartments at enormous rents. Delfoese lived
himself in Cecil-street, Strand, and used to go to Queen-
street daily, to receive his rents. The female was house-
, and took the mosey.
They were both found Guilty.
The jury was a mixed one, half foreigners and half
Nogdish.
Mr. Poland informed the court that Delfosee had been
twice convicted of keeping brothels, and wee, in fact, a
wholesale trafficker in the prostitution of foreign girls, and
he not only had these houses in Queen-street, but was con-
nected with others of the same description in the neighbour.
hood of the Haymarket.
Him Lordship said the prosecution was a very proper one,
and the conviction a jam' one. It would be impossible to
examrerato the infamy of Donors 's conduct in extorting
enormous sum of money as rent fur aputments from these
unhappy women, and the sentence upon him was two years'
hard labour ; upon Bond, six mouths.

SECOND COURT.

James ftloMague, 23, pleaded guilty to a charge of filo-
niounly breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Gustave
Whaler, and stealing a gold watch and other articles, value

Sergeant Potter, D, proved former convictions, and a
sentence of four years' penal servitude against him.
The Court sentenced him to seven years penal servitude.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The Oat Deutsche Poste publishes the following,
relative to the resolutions taken with regard to
Hungary in the Council of Ministers, held on
the let, under the presidency of the Emperor :

The practical enactment of the diploma of the 20th of
October will remain invariably the bead and the object of
all the efforts of the government. First of all, care
will be taken to arrest anarchy, and create • good 1,
administration. The convocation of • new Diet will not be
forgotten. The Tavernicus (Minister of Finance) will not be
replaced. It is proposed to appoint as archduke to the
dignity of Palatinate ; and it is supposed that the Archduke
Rapier, who has paid so much attention to the Hungarian
language and literature, will be selected for this post.
The Prince Primate, who was to have left yesterday for
Gran, has postponed his journey till to-morrow, in order to
await the result of the grand conference of the ministers.
This is the case also with Count Apponyi.
The Cardinal Primate was received yesterday by the
Emperor, in order that he might justify his letter to the
Chancellor. As Count Forpch wee not present it is con-
cluded that the Primate met with • less severe reception
than was at first thought probable. It is said that the
Cardinal positively declared that the letter was published
without his sanction. He will return to-morrow to Gran,
sad continue to exercise his eocleciutical functions. He
will be rieveil of his functions as supreme count, for
which an administrator will be given to him.

EQUITY COURTS.—Nov. 4.
(Before Viee-Cheibeeller Sir 8.. T. Madamley.)
LAY C. PLVACIL.

The bearing of this case, which was commenced on Satur-
day, wa. resumed this morning. The bill was filed to ob-
tain an injunction a.;einst the defendants, Robert Clavering
Savage, Jacob Harvey, and Emmeline Holmes, from ob-
taining of u diamond ring now in the custody of
Sir Archer Denniati Croft. one of the masters of the Court
of Queen's Bench. The ring in question, which is esti-
mated to be of the value of 1,000 t., was in March last
presented by Savage to Holmes, and she forthwith
pawned it with Mr. Attenborough for 101., and
two or three days afterwards she borrowed 21. on
security of the ticket from the defendant Harvey.
An action was cornmenced by Harvey against Mr. Atten-
borough to obtain palliation of the ring, but on application
to the court Mr. Attenborough's name was strnek oat of the
record, and that of Mr. Savage substituted. The action was
tried in June, arida verdict was given in favour of Harvey ;
but leave was given to the defendant Savage to move with-
in the first four days of the present Michaelmas term
to enter a non-nit on the ground that Harvey had
no sufficient interest in the ring to entitle him to maintain
the acting. The bill alleged that in July last Holmes was
indebted to Kay in the sum of 4951., arid that to secure the
repsYment of that sum she executed a deed, assigning her
rigbi is the ring to him, and the plaintiff sought by this
motion to prevent the defendant Harvey or the other parties
to the action obtaining possession of the ring.
Mr. Clement Lawson appeared in support, of the motion.
Mr. (;laase and Mr. Townsend, who appeased for the
defendants Holmes and Harvey, opposed it, and read an
affidavit of Emmeline Holmes, in which she denied that she
was indebted to Ka in 4931., or any other sum except some
four or live ponude for board and lodging, and alleged that
she was induced, " while in a state of excitement" from
drink, to sign the deed under the representation that it was
~all right " awl that it was to protect her against Harvey.
The Vice•Cliancellor said be thought the ad interim in-
junction ought to be granted ; the order, however, not to be
drawn up uutil Thursday next, to give an opportunity to
Mr. Savage to move the Court of Queen's Bench, the de-
fondants undertaking in the meantime to take no steps,

THE IRISH CHURCH ESTABLISHMENT.

The Northern Whig says :—" The lute censuabringu
out some highly significant statistics as to the present and
relative position of the Established Church in Ireland, that
institution which the late Lord Macaulay mid was ' the
most utterly absurd and indefensible of all the institutions
now existing in the civilised world.' It appears that there
are in Ireland—Members of the Established Church,
678,601 ; Dissenters of all kinds from that Church,
5,098,311 ; majority of Dissenters, 4,419,650. So that
a majority of four and a half millions enjoy the
privilege of contributing to the support of the religion of
the three-quarter million minority. The relative propor-
tions of the clergy to the laity are equally striking and sig-
nificant. The 678,661 of the established church &lumina.-
Mon are spiritually tended by no fewer than 2,294 derv,
being at the rate of a clergyman to every 299 individuals.
The Presbyterians, numbering 528,992, have 565 mi-
nisters, being ono to every 938 persons. The
Roman catholics, amounting to 4,490,583, bare
2,462 priests, being one to 1,866 of their laity.
Some of the county denominational statistics are remark-
able. In County Meath, for example—by no means the
most Roman catholic county in Ireland, and where there
are a good many Presbyterians and other dissenters—there
are 140 dery of the !established Church to 6,184 soul',
every 47 persons of that denomination having a clergyman

the camp, and the workmen employed there have refused to

THE LATE AzoropsPßociamvs AT

- itiLiPAii':

We have reason to expect (says the Northern
Whig) that the outrageous conduct of the police on Friday
night will be brought before the Town Council The pre-
tence that that body does not form • proper tribunal is ab-
surd. The police are under their control and management.
The Town Council are bound to see that the force intended
for the public protection shall not be univerted into R danger
more serious than any from which it protects them. It is
obvious that the identification by particular sufferers of the
particular members of the police force by whom they
may have been assaulted is out of the question. It
would he as easy for • wounded soldier in battle to identify
the enemy who struck him down. But though individual
assaults cannot easily be brought home to the particular
assailants, and remedy by action at law is therefore impos-
sible, the police collectively are responsible for the outrages
for the commission of which they organised themselves on
Friday night last. In the discharge of their duty we agree
with Mr. Tracy the police should he protected. There are
circumstances of excitement and severe trial in which
excess may sometimes be plausibly pelliated. But no
words can sufficiently condemn, scarcely any punish-
ment would be too maven for, the wanton and cowardly
smelts of Friday evening. Innocent and guilty—the
guilty offending only in a demonstration more foolish than
really criminal—were beaten down with an iodiscriininate
savagery which emulated on a small scale the achieve-
meets of a French coup (rite, or • Warsaw massacre.
Indeed the innocent seem chiefly to have Believed. It is
remarkable that not one of the persons wounded by the
police on Friday was arrested—a very significant proof
that they hail in no way offended. We stated yea.
terda7 that among those assaulted was Constable
Bunting, who, being in plain clothes, was not re-
cognised by the police. No one will inspect him of
having been engaged in illegal proceedings. Another case
as remarkable has been mentioned to 121.. A reverend gen-
tleman, • minister of the Covenanting body, was severely
beaten in Bridge4treet, and had a piece knocked out of one
of his ears by • blow. We do not apprehend that his
assailants will say Chet he was riotously conducting himself.
Mr. Tracy has spoken with just severity of the brutality of
Belies' mobs. He appears to forget that • brutal police
helps in no slight degree to make a brutal mob. Such pro-
ceedings as those of Friday night lead as to think that
" order and good government in Belfast will never be
attained until the municipal police tome is thoroughly
weeded—it may be disbanded, and the police service of the
borough reorganised on some better principle.

CAPTURE OF WIIALEa. The Orkney B,
saws :—" From the late untrequeocy of the visits of the
bottle-nosed wanderers from the polar regions, it might per-
haps have been inferred that they had bottled up the recol-
lection of the sad fate of such of their race us bud previously
visited our shores, and had finally 'turned tail' upou us, if
they bad not indeed resolved to abide Lencoforth within
the comparatively safe precincts of their own icy bemes.
Not so, however, for on the morning of Wednesday Let the
inhabitants of tiourin, in the Island of Roomy, observed
another largearrival moving about in the auchorageof Holm,
awl not more than 300 yards from shore. Crowds of men, wo-
men, and children were forthwith collected, while several
boats pat off to intereept the retreat of the whales
seaward. The huge animals allowed themselves to be
quietly driven towards the shore by the men in the boats,
and in a short time they were stranded, the boats still
keeping close together to prevent their escape. Immeeli-
Moly the men, with sharp instruments, rushed on them,
and in a short space the whole of them, to the number of
nearly sixty, were captured. Some of the fish measured
about eighteen feet long and sixteen feet in circumference.
On Friday the whole were sold, and realised the sum of
nearly 2401., the principal purchasers being Mr. Cnigie,
Holland, noway, and Mr. Malcolm Green, Kirkwall, in
company with some others. In the comparative failure of

FRENCH cßirienur ON LORD DERBY.

The London correspondent of the Constifutiounel,
who is supplying that paper with • series of parliamentary
sketches, gives the following " portrait " of Lord Derby :
I Brave, generous, chivalrous, as a noble of the purest
blood, he disdains all parliamentary shams, and aims his
blows direct at his advenary. Disraeli patiently and skil-
fully unravels the tisane of anlitleties in which his antago-
nists seek to envelop him. Lord Derby wits through the
same at a blow, and opposes to all • proud dis-
dain, not to say a majestic cynicism. lie is
accused of being proud. How could he be otherwise At
twenty-five he was already illusHous, and now to his
pride of blood is added the oonsciousuess of intsputable
superiority, which he owes to himself alone. See him in
the House of Lords, how he towers above his colleagues
Those sr* within those walls statesmen better versed than
himself is political affairs, leaders who would embarrass
him tansy serious question, legists far superior to him in
all metiers of law, and yet he stands head and shoulders
above these all, and in the midst of his brother peers may
be compared to Richard Oeur-de-Lion surrounded by his
court. His eloquence is impetuous awl sometimes even
passionate; his ideas disdain the elegant ornaments of
periphrase, and go straight to their native simplicity.
When Disraeli speaks his tone is rapid and sarcastic, his
lips are coin the pupil of his eye contracted and
scofeeg. Lord Derby, on the contrary, with quivering lip
awl fiery glance, seems ready to rush upon his antagonist
and strike him to the ground. The former may be com-
pared to the gnat which kills even the Bon by its /mum.
rating attacks ; the latter, to Jupiter Tonans. Lord Derby
is generally reproached, and we fear not unjustly, with
great weslness of character. H. is messed of sufferiog
himself to be led by Diarsali, and of being suddenly in-
fluenced by that deserter of all parties. Unfortunately,
this opinion has been too much confirmed since the last
unsuccessful attempt to form a conservative government--
yes, conservative of all the fatal tradition which inflicted
on Great Britain the stigma of St. Helena, but destructive
of everything that constitutes the essence of • really con-
servative government at home.

GERMANY.

The Suabian Mercury report& that, among the
small number of German exiles, to whom not only
the return to their country in denied, but who are
to all appearance systematically shut out from the
very possibility of an amnesty, there are the three
chiefs of the republican insurrections in Baden,
viz., F. Hecker, Karl Blind, Gustav von Struse,
together with a few others, all of them members
of provisional governments in 1848-49. Karl
Blind, who in 1849 represented Baden and Rhenish
Bavaria, as a revolutionary envoy at Paris, has
since then been living in Belgium and in England.
He was implicated in the attempt of Ledru-
Rollin to overthrow the government of Louis
Napoleon at the time the French troops
attacked the Roman republic of Martini, and
after a lengthy imprisonment at Paris was com-
pelled to leave France. Hecker and Struse have
recently entered as volunteers the United States
army, and greatly helped in promoting the partici-
pation of the German inhabitants there in the
struggle for the maintenance of the Union durink,
the last six years. K. Blind has been carrying on
an active propaganda for the furtherance of the
idea of national freedom and unity in Germany,
and is believed to be the head of a wide-spread or-
ganization to that effect. An agitation has been
set on foot in Baden in favour of a general and un-
conditional amnesty ; but from the letter in the
Suabian Mercury, which is of a semi-official source,
there is evidently no prospect of this desire of the
popular party being fulfilled. It is believed, how-
ever, that neither of the exiled leaders above men-
tioned are caring for an amnesty, but that their
hopes centre in the approach of a popular move-
ment which would recall them.
