ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-LANCASTER, APRIL 5.

THE HOPWOOD WILL CASE,

The Counte-s of Sefton corroborated the evidence
given, and stated that her father's mind was perfectly
sound at the time he made his will.

The Earl of Derby was the next witness examined.
He deposed to having consented to become one of the
trustees under the will of the late Mr. Hopwood. He
saw him in London in the beginning ofJuly. He called
at St. James's-place with Lady Sefton. At that time
he was very feeble in body, and was a long time in corn-
ing into the room—so much so that he went forwsra to
meet him, when he immediately began to say something
about thanking him. Witness told him not to think
of such a thing. Had a conversation with Mr.
wood for about twenty minutes. There was nothing in
the conversation that would exhibit the powers of his
mind or the vigour of his intellect ; bOt it was clear he
understood all that he (Lord Derby) said. He carried
on a rational conversation without difficulty, and clearly
—there was no wandering or wavering. The mind was
perfectly clear and perfectly intelligible. In the course
of the conversation, he asked about the several horses
which Lord Derby had in training.
_ _ _

Major Tounley, Admiral Bynp.:', and Miss Byng wero
examined as to the state of Mr. Hopwood's mind whilst
he was in London during 1553. In their opinion his
mind was perfectly sound, and he was capable of trans-
acting business.
Mr. Illingwortb, surgeon, visited Mr. Hopwood al-
most ,;very day whilst he was in London. His mind was
not impaired. He was an old man of 80 years ; but he
had no hesitation in saying his mind was perfectly sound.
Mr. Parke, surgeon, West Derby, the medical atten-
dant at Croxtoth, gave evidence as to Mr. Hopwood
being of sound mind up to March, 1852, when he last
saw him.
Mr. William Stott also gave evidence to the same
effect.
The depositions of J. J. Hornby, Edwin Hornby, and
Edmund Woodhouse were put in and read, also Mr.
Hopwood's will, dated April 29, 1829, and the three
This closed the case for the plaintiff.
The court adjourned at a quarter past six o'clock to
half-past nine on Saturday morning.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, April 3.—The Hamburger Nachriehten
mentions that the recent arrival of the steamer
H imburg, Captain King, at Heligoland from Lon-
don, with an officer of engineers and three sappers
and miners, bringing with them timber for the
erection of 400 huts, was a great surprise to the
Governor of that important British dependency.
He had received no intimation from the authorities
at home of their intended arrival, and had conse-
quently made no preparation for their reception. As
however there were neither carpenters nor smiths
of the party no great loss of time accrued from
the necessity of the Governor's writing home for
instructions. The 'artisans who are to erect the
huts, though they did not arrive with the material
on which they are to work, are nevertheless an-
nounced to be on the road, with the furniture and
fitting up which the huts are to contain when
finished. This is very like a small edition of Bala-
klava mismanagement. A number of women are
now occupied in carrying the timber up from the
landing-place to the heights, which constitute the
only habitable part of Heligoland. The normal
resources of this island in cattle are notorious, one
cow and no horse ; and as all provisions must be
derived from Hamburg it seems the more unpar-
donable on the part of the authorities to send so
large an increase to the population as four men,
without previous notice to her Britannic Majesty's
Governor.

TRIAL OF FRENCH CONSPIRATORS.

The Tribunal of Correctional Police of Angers, in
March, 1854, tried 21 persons on the charge of
having been concerned in a secret political society ;
and about the same epoch other persons were pro-
secuted before the tribunals of Paris and Tours for
having got up secret societies in connection with it.
For some time after the trial at Angers, it was
noticed in that city ihat the principal members of
the society, all of whom were noted Socialists, were
tolerably quiet. But when the war broke out, the
police learned that they had commenced a new
conspiracy, and were looking out for recruits. After
a while they began to hold frequent meetings for
the admission of new members and other matters.
On the 31st Jan. of the present year the conspirators
held a meeting in the railway tunnel near Nantes,
and on the 21st Feb. they held another meeting
near the cemetery. The police intended to arrest
them on the latter occasion, but they arrived too
late. They afterwards learned that a meeting was
to be held on the 4th March, in a public-house
kept by a man named Baudrier, for the admission
of a new member, one Hannam, an Englishman.
They went to the house and arrested 19 persons.
After an investigation, 10 of these men, all work-
men, were ordered for trial. The trial has just taken
place before the Tribunal of Correctional Police of
Angers. It was proved that the object of the
society was to overthrow the Government,
and to establish a democratic . and social re-
public ; that they openly preached the pillage of
the rich, and that they had taken oaths to employ
all means in their power, and even assassination,
to obtain their ends. It was also proved that they
had constantly denounced the army as a band of
slaves and Decembrists, and had expressed wishes
for the success of the Russians in the war. The tri-
bunal acquitted one of the accused named Rousseau,
a mere lad, and condemned another, named Fouere,
by default, to two years' imprisonment and 500 fr.
fine. Of the remaining eight the tribunal sen-
tenced one named Fredin, to eighteen months' im-
prisonment and 100 fr. fine ; another named Beau-
Jon, to fifteen months' imprisonment and 100 fr. ,
fine ; two, Cerisier and Bottier, to six months'
imprisonment; two, Godorea and Granger, to three
months' ; and the other two, Morin and Baudrier,
to one month's imprisonment.

HER MAJESTY'S NEW STEAM YACHT.

Her Majesty's new steam-yacht Victoria and Albert,
Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman, is Ordered to be
equipped for the Queen's reception and service by the
Ist of July. In the interim the old Victoria and Albert
(now Osborne) is to receive stores, and be prepared' for
service in the event of a sea-going yacht being required
for use by the Queen before the new one is ready.

THE MARLBOROUGH, 131, SCREW.
The greatest exertions are now making at Portsmouth
to get this noble specimen of British skill ready 'for
launching in June. A vast body of artisans are at work
upon her. The ways are being laid, and her outside
receiving the first coat of paint. She will be the largest
and most powerful man-of-war in the world, being some
400 tons larger than the Duke of Wellington, and will

be enabled to carry a greater weight of metal, yet her
traught of water will be less, owing to her having a
flatter floor and greater breadth of beam. Every known
improvement at the present time has been introduced to
make her the most perfect vessel that ever floated as a
man•of--war.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is
about at par (according to the last tariff), which, at the
English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10Ad. par ounce for stand.
and gold, gives an exchange of 25.17 ; and, the ,exchange
at Paris on London at short being 25 20, it follows, that
gold is about 0.12 per cent, dearer in London than in
Paths. By ad vices from Hamburg the price of gold is
4251 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives au ex-
change of 13.56 ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on
London at short being 13'7, it follows that gold is o'B7
per
,cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg. The
course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 110 per cent., and, the par of exchange
between England and .America being 109 23-40 per
cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 012 per
cent. in favour of England; and, after making allowance
for charges of transport and difference of interest, the
present rate leaves a profit o the importation of gold
frc the 17Aited §1;446.

INDIAN FINANCE.

In reply to Mr. DISRAELI,
Mr. V. SMITH said no official intelligence had been
received as to the financial loan opened by the Indian
Government, but no doubt some intelligence would be
sent home, and as soon as it was received it should be
submitted to the house.
Mr. DISRAELI said as the answer of the hon. gen-

LATEST NEWS.

THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL.

Accounts have been received from Sebastopol
of the date of the 19th.

The besiegers were gaining ground every day.
The enemy had made a sortie on the 18th in

great force, but was vigorously repulsed.
All is going on well.
The cholera has broken out among the French
troops, and on the 17th was raging fiercely.

ST. PETERSBURG, APRIL 24.
Prince Gortschakoff writes as follows on the

19th :-

On the 16th, 17th, and 18th the fire of the
enemy was not so sustained as on the preceding
days.

Our batteries have replied successfully; particu-
larly by their cross-fire in front of the 4th bastion,
directed against the works which the enemy is
actively executing against that fortification.
The. injuries caused by the day's fire are re-
paired during the night.

In the night between the 18th and 19th, one
of our battalions successfully, and at a very
slight loss, effected a sortie, with the object of
destroying the enemy's most advanced works of
approach.

In general the loss of the garrison has been
much less within the last two or three days than
at the commencement of the bombardment.

GENOA, APRIL 24.

The Crcesus, which left Genoa at 8 o'clock this
morning for Constantinople, with 37 officers, 209
soldiers of the Sardinian army, 25 mules, and pro-
visions, was entirely lost 11 miles south-east of
Genoa.

The passengers and crew were saved, with the
exception of one sailor and six soldiers.

VIENNA, TUESDAY.

Lord John Russell left here yesterday evening,
on his return to London by way of Prague and
Dresden.

Before his departure, his excellency had a pri-
vate interview with Count Buol, that lasted an
hour and a half.

Lord John Russell is expected in London to-

morrow.

PARIS, W3DNESDAY.

From the intelligence brought by the Euphrate
it appears that the fleet is not to act till the assault
takes place, which, it is said, will not ba till after
fourteen days' bombardment.

DENMARK.

OOPESRAGEN, April 18.—It has not failed to ex-
cite surprise that the trial of the late Ministers is
postponed till the beginning of June, but there was
no help for it, as the' ex-Minister of Justice, von '
Scheel—a distant relative of the present Premier—
is unavoidably absent from illness, and indeed his
state is such as to cause his friends considerable
anxiety. The Diet was prorogued on the 31st of
March, but it is now generally expected to be dis-
solved before the monstre proces comes on. In
that case the composition of the Court Yfii be ne-
cessarily altered before the trial. The members I
of the Supreme Court will remain unchanged,
hut those additional members delegated by the
Parliament to sit on the trial may be changed, or,
at aU events, will have to be re-elected by the new
Thing. Nobody doubts in the least that the issue
of the trial will be not only unfavourable to the ex-
Ministers, and that they will be compelled to pay
from their own pockets the sums they '.pent out of
the public treasury without authorisation, but that
they will, moreover, be severally fined in a heavy
penalty for their illegal mode of proceeding.
Herr Blechiuberg, the advocate for the defen- I
dal-ilia, has declined the brief, probably thinking it
incompatible with his station as procurator-fiscal
to do so.
The late Prime Minister Von Oersted is preparing
a pamphlet for the press, to defend the policy of
his short-lived administration.
The King has decorated the Spanish envoy to this
court, Don Jose de Bizo, who is recalled, with the
insignia of Commander of the Order of the Dan-a
nebrog.

added to the budget will appear an item for the

FRANCE.

The following is from the Times correspondent's
letter, dated yesterday, 6 p.m.:—
A. rumour circulated yesterday that General
Bizot, of the Engineers, had been killed before
Sebastopol (luring the bombardment. The fact
, was announced in more than one telegraphic de-
spatch received in Paris on Sunday night. It WilB
not at first denied, but au intimation was privately
given to the papers not to say anything about it ;
and a telegraphic despatch addressed to London
giving the same iniellib-ence was, after some delay,
refused to be forwarded' on the ground that the in-
telligence was not exact. It is admitted, however,
that the General was wounded, but it is alleged
that the wound is not serious. It is to be hoped
that such is the case.

A private letter from New York, 'received in
Paris this morning, mentions as a positive tact
that the home squadron of the United States had
received orders from the Government of Washing-
ton to proceed instantly to Cuba, and demand im-
mediate reparation for the injury done to American
merchant vessels, which were fired into by some
vessels of the Spanish navy. Indeed, the letter
mentions the general impression that the American
squadron was ordered to attack the Spanish ships
without more ado. A war between the United
States and Spain would exceedingly complicate our
present position.
P.S. The Patric publishes the following tele-
graphic despatch, dated Madrid, 23d inst. :

The Cortes have adopted the sth and 6th articles of
the bill relative to the sale of the Church property.
The Duke of Beilen has been appointed Governor of
the Palace, and the Marquis di Perales Grand Cham-
berlain.

M. Haussman, Prefect of the Seine, and the
members of the Municipal Commission who had
proceeded to London on the occasion of the visit
of the Emperor and Empress, arrived yesterday in
Paris by a special train.

DENMARK.

COPENHAGEN, April 18.--It has not failed to ex-
cite surprise that the trial of the late Ministers is
postponed till the beginning of June, but there was
no help for it, as the ex-Minister of Justice, von
Scheel—a distant relative of the present Premier—
is unavoidably absent from illness, and indeed his
state is such as to cause his friends considerable
anxiety. The Diet was prorogued on the 31st of
March, but it is now generally expected to be dis-
solved before the monstre proees comes on. In
that case the composition of the Court wil be ne-
cessarily altered before the trial. The members
of the Supreme Court will remain unchanged,
but those additional members delegated by the
Parliament to sit on the trial may be changed, or,
at all events, will have to be re-elected by the new
Thing. Nobody doubts in the least that the issue
of the trial will be not only unfavourable to the ex-
Ministers, and that they will be compelled to pay
from their own pockets the sums they -pent out of
the public treasury without authorisation, but that
they will, moreover, be severally fined in a heavy
penalty for their illegal mode of proceeding.
Herr Blechinberg, the advocate for the defen-
dants, has declined the brief, probably thinking it
incompatible with his station as procurator-fiscal
to do so.

The late Prime Minister Von Oersted is preparing
a pamphlet for the press, to defend the policy of
his short-lived administration.

The King has decorated the Spanish envoy to this
court, Don Jose de Bazo, who is recalled, with the
insignia of Commander of the Order of, the Dan-
nebrog.
Amongst the increased expenses to be shortly
added to the budget will appear an item for the
construction of detached forts around Copenhagen
for the greater security of this capital.
After years of deliberation, it is at length decided
to introduce gas-lights and waterworks. The cor-
poration have for this purpose concluded a loan of
three millions of dollars, to bo authorised by yearly
annuities of the value of 150,000 dollars, termin•
able in about 50 years.
