REMOVAL OF ST. JOHN'S MARKET.-
(Extract from the Northern limes, Christmas, 1957.) We
understand that the spirited proprietors of ME BUTTER PLACE
have purchased the Old Market—and intend taking It down—in
order to erect more extensive premises on its site. These gentle-
men appear to have inherited all that spirit of enterprise which
characterised the original founders of The Butter Placa In the last
century.

ATHING OF BEAUTY IS A JOY FOR EVER,
an exquisite remark, which would have derived additional
orce from the fact (if it had happened) that the poet, Keats. pre-
vious to writing !that line, had Inspected the gem of lithography
now on view in the lower window of Mr. John R. Isacc, Litho-
grapher. &c., Castle-street.

A- few thousands do examine It daily, and then, a ter expressing
the utmost surprise at finding BUTTER there, they move on,
muttering

ACAULAY'S NEW ZEALANDER

Extract from his Journal, A.D., 3-57.—Af er crossing miles of
sand, we arrived at the place o .ce so celebrated as the '' Port of
Liverpool." The onl; trace of its former greatness was a splendid
ruin, which my guide said had been a FREE LIBRARY AND
MUSEUM.

Ab :ut a quarter of a mile further on, I noticed a spot where the
sand had not yet intruded. It is a circle of lu Haut grass, bordered
with pretty ii. tie flowers, which thsy call daisies, primroses, and
BUTTERCUPS. I asked John how this delightful bit of earth hod
escaded the desolation. That, maid he, was " the " BUTTER
PI. SCR.

Premier's boasted majority, he would much rather

the crude and unclassir a.t : fli' ih,w representa-
tives who now occupy th ; s !::- :s.jscted mem-
bers. It is all very well fe. .-,ternporary, the
Observer, to express its eonfi,ience as to the conse-
quence of the exclusion cf Cobden, Brigl- ,`,7 Co., the
experience of the past should teach the
.journal in
question that the out-door agitation of these very
men compelled the repeal of the corn laws. If they
were powerful for that good, a similar combination
will make them dangerous to any minister,
Palmerston though he be, who resists the political
commands of a party which they espouse and
command. If all the rumours we hear be correct,
there is every reason to believe that Lord Palmers-
ton and his colleagues will not be unwilling " to
bring forward and pass those measures of ref ,rm
which the voice of the country demands at their
hands." A little further patience, and we will be
put in possession of what, for the sake of a better
term, we will entitle " an outline of government
intentions "
There was a struggle between a desire to prolong
life, and the wish of the executive to take it away
on Saturday. The Queen's Bench, on that day,
was occupied in hearing an argument on behalf of
the convict, Mansell, sentenced to death some
months since, for the murder of his comrade.
Mansell alleged error in the proceedings at his
trial, inasmuch, as he affirmed, a juror was objected
to by the Crown a second time, without cause
assigned, after the panel had been once gone
through. The Crown denied the error, and the
above objections were argued upon purely tech-
nical grounds, and the Court reserved their judg•
ment till Wednesday morning; but desired the
prisoner not to entertain any false hopes, since all
the court, as at present advised, thought that the
judgment could not be disturbed,
In the Court of Exchequer, on Saturday, the
case of the Queen v. Lewis was decided. The pri-
soner was convicted of manslaughter. He was a
foreigner, and the death of another foreigner was
caused by his acts, committed on board an
American vessel, on the high seas, but the deceased
did not die until his arrival at Liverpool. The
question was, whether the prisoner, under the cir-
cumstances, was subject to be tried at Liverpool,
or in this country at all. The court had reserved its
judgment. Mr. Justice Willes now stated that the
the judges were of opinion that this country had no
jurisdiction to try the prisoner, and that the con-
viction must therefore be quashed.
Mr. Frederick Peel has resigned the office of
Under Secretary for the War Department, in which
he will be succeeded by Sir John Ramsden.
Of local news this morning there is little or
nothing. Further particulars of the collision be-
tween the Andrew Foster and Tuscarora in the
channel on Tuesday night will be found in another
part of to-day's paper. The Tuscarora has put
back in a very disabled state. Happily there was
no lives lost on the occasion,
A very daring burglary was committed on the
premises of Messrs. buff and Nephew, South Cas-
tle street, on Friday night, or early on Saturday
morning. Upwards of £l,OOO worth of property
was carried away by the thieves, and, we regret to
say, they have, so far escaped.
The screw steamer Circassian arrived here yes-
terday morning. She sailed from St. John's, New-
foundland, on the 24th April, and made the run to
Holyhead in seven days, twenty-one hours. The
news by her will be found in another column.
The bulk of the India and China mails arrived
at Southampton on Saturday,
,in the steamer
Colombo. A telegraph from Alexandria, via Mar-
seilles, brings the glad tidings of the safety of the
missing Australian steamer Oneida, She had
broken a portion of her machinery, and, as was
surmised, had put back to Sydney, The European
has brought all her passengers and her gold,
50,000/. Various vessels, with 128,000 ounces of
gold (about 510,0001) left Australia for England
between February 17 aid March 15. Money was
plentiful and credit good, but trade rather dull,
owing to the large amount of imports from
England.
As intimated in our paper of Saturday, the French
journals profess to be able to state the heads of
Lord Elgin's instructions, and we commend the
consideration of them to our readers. According
to these journals the demands the plenipotentiary
of England is to make include a renewal of certain
treaties, with an extension of the privileges we
a t
Mtn; egOlaTet wealready claim admit-
tance ; the establishment of English military posts
in all the cities where English consuls, or consular
agents reside ; and the erection of forts by the
English at Canton, Shanghae, and Hong-Kong.
The news from France this morning is not of
much importance. At the meeting of the Northern
of France Railroad Shareholders on Thursday, a
scene of almost dramatic interest took place. The
Shareholders were smarting under the recollection
of the Carpentier frauds, and were ignorant of the
extent of the Company's loss, or of the manner in
which it would be borne. Baron James Roths-
child rose and addressed the meeting with some
emotion ; he stated that rather than any male.
volent insinuations should be circulated with refer.
ence to the great robbery, prejudicial to the
caution or standing of Rothschilds firm he would
willingly pay twice the amount stolen ; that under
any circumstances the firm, of which he was one of
the representatives, would bear five-sixths of the
loss entailed by the fraud of Carpentier and con
sorts. The most enthusiastic cheering greeted this
announcement, the result of which is equivalent to
a loss of upwards of £200,000 sterling borne by
Messrs. Rothschild Many persons considered that
this firm, owing to the peculiar circumstances of
the case, should have borne the lion's share of the
loss, but no law could have compelled it to do so.
In consenting, therefore, to support nearly the
whole burthen of the fraud, the Rothschilds' have
displayed a spirit of generosity which redounds
greatly to their credit.
A decree in the Moniteur assures to the Societe
des Gens de Lettre an annual government grant of
5,000 f., to be distributed in loans or in assistance
to distressed literary men.
The news from Italy is important. The Sardinian
Government has dissolved the Municipal Council
of Genoa on account of its resistance to the tax on
consumption imposed on that city by the law
regulating the distribution of the tax. Con:
siderable results may flow from the. contest thus
raised Another piece of news is, that a reconcilia-
tion between the Sardinian Government and the
Court of Rome is near at hand. If so, it may lead
to a wide split between the Italian national party
and Victor Emmanuel.
The Prussian Government has succeeded in pass-
ing its bills increasing the tax on trades and impos-
ing a tax on shares; and thus it may get out of its
financial difficulty.
A telegraph from St. Petersburg informs us
that the decree prohibiting the export of gold has
—and very wisely too—been abrogated ; and that
a commercial treaty between Russia and Japan,
for some time in progress, has now been made
officially public.
The Niagara, which was to sail from Boston on
the 22nd ult., had not arrived when we went to
press.

MONARCHICAL despotism and political tyranny
are among the foremost evils which pervade
almost every governmental system on the Conti-
nent of Europe. It is well known, and as
generally acknowledged that where these exist
there can be neither peace nor social happiness.
The people belonging to such countries are
ground down to the lowest ebb of political
vassalage, and everything which can tend to
elevate them as moral and intellectual beings is
discouraged. If any proof confirmatory of these
remarks were needed, we have only to point
to what is going on in Austria, in Italy, and
even France. The celebrated FELICE ORSINI
has just been lecturing to the people of
Liverpool on what he saw and suffered in the
Austrian dungeons. He has been relating the

tortures inflicted upon political prisoners, with
the view of extorting a confession which might
give to their punishments thr‘ o7itward
of just ce. The nefarious pra,:tiv s .•:'
of SICILY are not less revolting. They colni)iiie
all the ferocity of the beast of prey, with the
sagacious dexterity of the monarch of iniquity.
They demonstrate that under his kingly sway
political freedom shall not exist—that every
thing which tends to enlarge the minds and
implant in the breasts of his people a spirit of
manly independence shall be nipped in the bud,
and that it is vain for them to long and sigh for
the day of civil and religious emancipation. If
we turn from Sicily to Rome, what do we there
behold—freedom, or political serfdom ? Alas !
that city ifrom which, as a centre, all of Chris-
tianity, all of civilisation and liberty, and what-
ever is valuable to mankind, have radiated
through so many centuries—is now under the
powerful influence of French bayonets, without
which the political sovereignty of his Holiness
would not last a week. Even France, a country
and a people which we have taken into our
alliance, is in many respects governed by petty
despotism. The press is gagged, and all
unfavourable comments upon the sayings and
doings of the constituted authorities repressed
with a severity and a sternness which is only
pardonable when rebellion, treason, and sedition
stalk through the land.

Monarchical despotism and political tyranny
reflect their baneful consequences upon this
country. They damage, and in a variety of ways
retard, the extension of British commerce, whilst
they afford to the nations of the world ground
for suspecting that our authorities approve of the
treatment which the people of all the countries
we have named receive at the hands of their
political rulers. The doctrine of non-intervention
in the affairs of other countries may be very legi-
timate to a certain extent, but there are times and
circumstances when its strict observance may
entail evils of enormous magnitude upon our
fellow creatures, and seal among them the ex-
tinction of civil and religious liberty. By it,
despotism may steal a march upon ourselves,
and attempt to snap from us some of the privi-
leges which we enjoy as subjects of a free country.
The state of Italy is one which affords an apt
and unfortunate illustration of our remarks.
The citizens of Glasgow held a meeting on Tues-
c:ui, under the presidency of the Lord Provost, to
consider the propriety of expressing sympathy
with the people of Italy, and their anxiety that
the rule of non-intervention should be recognised
as the international law of Europe. , After elo-
quent speeches were delivered, all of which set
forth in very convincing and glowing terms, the
political bondage of nearly every Empire, King-
dom, and State of Europe, the meeting resolved
to petition Parliament on the subject of non-
intervention. From the speeches, delivered and
the resolutions passed, we learn that the distin-
guished gentlemen who composed the meeting
in question, consider armed intervention with the
internal policy of a nation, as not tending to
secure the happiness of a State subjected to its
influences, but that it is the source of revolutions
and war. In addition to this, they are of opinion
• _ - naviug a profound
interest in the preservation of peace, should use
every effort to obtain the cessation of existing
interference, and to prevent all future aggressions
of that description.

We fear that the people of Glasgow have been
too lenient in laying down a cure-all for the
political evils of the Continent of Europe. It
amounts to this, that Italy should be left to her-
self, and that no power should interfere by its
arms in her internal affairs. We knew that
neither France nor Austria will evacuate their
present position—the one in Rome, and the
other in Northern Italy—at the solicitation or
bidding of England. They have the ecclesiastical
designs of the Romish Church to uphold and
maintain, so that it is perfectly useless to call
upon such powers to observe the rule of non-
intervention, when it suits our purpose, and does
not happen to answer theirs. In such a case the
only thing we can do is to meet intervention by
intervention, or hold our peace. In a word
—submit, or go to war.

The prominent part which Great Britain took
.n forcing the present king on the people of
of Sicily, together with the fact, that his majesty
has violated the constitution which he swore and
pledged himself to maintain, irrespective of the
plea of humanity, which is at all times a pressing
one, entitles, we might almost write, should
compel, the Government of this country to
assume a bold and determined attitude, and insist
upon the political amelioration of the people of
that country. If we were justified in repelling
the late attempt at Russian aggression, and if
we could consistently approach a throne of grace
and implore the God of battles to crown our
arms with victory in the Crimea, are we not
equally justified by every moral and political
consideration, to compel the despotic and tyran-
nical king of Naples to act with faithfulness-.and
justice to all his subjects. Indeed, a contrary
course will tend to tarnish the consistency and
honour of our Queen and country. Already
there has been too much vacillation respecting
the affairs of Naples. It cannot continue much
longer. The sufferings of this degraded and
much persecuted people will yet be revenged, and
it behoves Lord Palmerston to ponder well on the
present aspect of the Neapolitan question, as
well as the rule of tyranny and despotism which
reigns throughout Europe, and their probable
consequences. England will lend him every aid,
and countenance every scheme he may adopt to
set the Neapolitans free. It should have been
done ere this. The tyrant ruler of Sicily, should
have been taught not to outrage the feelings of
the civilised world by deeds of barbarity and
cruelty refined. The withdrawal of the armies of
Austria and France from the Italian soil should
be effected, and the people protected in the selec-
tion of their own government and laws. To do
this, is Englands duty, To neglect it, is to autho-
