A Paris correspon lent of the Lidependance of Brussels
wri►es :—" Among the motives assigned for the journey
of Prince Napoleon to Berlin is that of a projected
marriage for himself. The name of the princess is
Stephanie de Hohenzollern Sigmlriogen, born in 1837.
What lends probability to the ramour is the fact, that
the princess is related by her mother to the family of
the Grand Duchess of Stephanie of Baden. The father
of the princess has ceded his rights to Prussia, and that
circumstance explains the presence of Prince Napoleon in
Berlin."

BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION PETITIONS.--A ministerial
journal states that most of the papers have fallen into a
mistake respecting the time allowed for presenting petitions
to the House of Commons complaining of undue returns of
members to parliament. The law g:ves fourteen clear days
after the meeting of the house. These days do not nom,
mence on the election of the speaker. They date from the
passing of the sessional orders, which were only moved on
Thursday last. One of the standing o. ders fixes the time
f.r receiving petitions, which will not close until the 21st
iastant.

SAILING or TUE ARTEMISE —Oa Sunday afternoon the
French corveve Artemise, with her consort L'Agile, got
under way in Carrickfergus roadstoad, and sailed for Ice-
land. The captain and officers of the Artemise entertained
the mayor and several of the harbour commissioners at
dinner on board that vessel on Saturday evening, and
reciprocated the hospitalities offered them in the most
elegant style, and with the most cordial good feeling.
The following is a translation of the letter addressed to the
mayor by Captain Veron, in reply to the invitatlien to the
commander and officers of the Artemise, to a civic banquet
in Belfast —" Captain Veron and the officers under his
orders have the honour to thank the mayor for the kind
invitation which he has addressed to him in the name of
the inhabitants of Belfast. It is out of Captain Veron's
power to remain longer at this port, and, consequently, he
cannot accept this new proof of sympathy, Captain
Veron and his officers will never forget the brilliant and
cordial reception which has been given to them at Belfast,
and they are happy to be in a position to tell in their own
country how hospitality is practised in Belfast. On board
the Artemise, of his Imperial Majesty's fleet, in the'Lough
of Belfast."—Belfast Wkly.
THE OUTRAGE BY TURN•OUTS.—Under this head, in
yesterday's paper, an account was given of a charge pre-
ferred at the City Police Court against a man named
Whitham, who had been apprehended whilst preparing to
throw an explosive bottle into the bedroom window of
Mr. Redmayne, rope maker, Cheetham. The prisoner
was remanded to Friday, and yesterday morning a second
man, William Cook, a brickmaker, living in the same
locality, was charged with complicity in the same
offence. Policeman Walters sta`ed that whilst holding
Whitham ,the prisoner Cook came up, and asked whit he
was going to do with the man ; the ofiLer replied that he
was going to lock him pp. The prisoner said, "Then
you will lock two up it you lock up one," and first
stepping backwards, he approached and kicked witness on
the knee ; repeated the kick ; then ran a short distance,
aid called " Palls." He again came up, and throttled
witness, who was struggling with Whitham. After this,
the prisoner ran off, lie had been apprehended that
(Wednesday) morning in bed. He denied being at the

to Friday. The explosive missile has been opened by Mr.
C. Calvert, and was found to contain 1 lb 13 oz. of gun-
pocigri"—kanchester Examiner.

HOUSE OF LORDS—MuEsDAY.
The Lord Chancellor took his seat on the wool sack a

five o'clock.

IKE ADIUNISTRATION OF JUSTICE IN INDIA. •
The Marquis of Clanricarde moved for a return of the
appointments held by Mr. Thomas io the Civil Service of
the Eat India Company in the month of September, 1854,
and the appointments he might have since held up
• to- -the date of the latest accounts, distingu'shing
judicial from other appointments. Also copies of
any correspondence that might have taken place
bAween the g vernor, or ether superior authorities
at Madras, and Mr. Thomas, relative to the ease of Bha-
wanny Lallah v. Thomas, and to the judgment delivered
thereupon in the Supremo Court of 11air2.s, by Chief
Justice, Sir Christopher ItaWia'sOn. From the Noble
Lords statement of the cise, it appetlei that Mr. Tit imas,
a magistrate, had compelled Lana!), by imprisonment
without food, to sign a document, ackowledging
his guilt, that thereupon he had fined him £lO,
and . refusing to give him time to 'procure the money,
had thrown hint into prison. The noble lord cited this
as a. specimen of the manner in whith natives were treated,
and demanded -redress.

Earl Granville said the G)vernment had received no
official account of the circumstances to, which the noble
lord referr,d, bat when it was olP:ained it should be laid
before the house. Tae else, as cited, showed great
injustice. but it appeared that the government had taken
the usual course in providing hillah with money, and
leaving it to him what coarse he should pursue. He hoped
the noble Marquis would wilhdraw his mo ion.

Lord Campbell regretted that measures had not been
taken to improve the administration of justice in India.
Tha motion was then withdrawn.
The House rose at 6 o'clock.
