ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—LEICESTER, MARCH 6.
(Before Mr. Baron Alderson.)

Cornelius Asleer (an herbalist, aged 57), was indicted
for the manslaughter of Elizabeth Fletcher,

This case caused great excitement throughout the
town and county, and during its hearing the court was
crowded to excess.

Mr. Adams and Mr. Bell conducted the prosecution ;
Mr. O'Brien the defence.

Elizabeth Mackley deposed that Elizabeth Fletcher,
the deceased, was to have rejoined her husband in Ame-
rica in April, after a separation for two years. In
January witness perceived that deceased was pregnant,
and the latter communicated her intention of endeavour-
ing to procure abortion, saying she would rather die
than not succeed. On Monday, Jan. 29, witness went
with deceased to tho shop of prisoner in Highcross-
street, Leicester, and after that prisoner came to see de-
ceased at her own house, and in the presence of witness
operated upon the misguided woman for the purpose of
procuring miscarriage. [The details of the treatment of
deceased by the prisoner were of a most painful and re-
volting character.] Prisoner told witness it was the
first case he had had which had gone wrong. Deceased
continued in great pain till Tues.lay, Feb. 13, when she
died, a qualified surgeon, Mr. C. R. Crossley, having
been called in.

Mr. Crossley deposed to malting a post morteua exami-
nation of decea,eti, in company with two other surgeons.
She died from peritonitis. Found they fcetus in the
bladder, which was ruptured. The injury could not
have bsen the result of accident, and might have been
caused by prisoner in the manner described by witness.
For the defence, Mr. O'Brien addressei the jury at
length, urging that prisoner was kept in ignorance of
the fact of deceased's pregnancy, and was treating her
for other purposes.
The jury found the prisoner guilty, and be was sen-
tenced to 14 years' transportation,

AUSTRIA.

VI ENNA, March 3.—Yesterday evening, at half-
past 8 it was known here that the Emperor Nicholas
had ceased to be, and extraordinary was the
sensation which the news produced. No reliable in-
formation as to the cause of his death has yet reached
this city, but the Russians attached to the Embassy
relate that his Majesty died of Lungen-Lahinung
(literally, suspension of the action of the lungs.)
"If the Czar died a natural death," says an
experienced statesman, " and his eldest son Alex-
ander succeeds him, peace will certainly soon be
concluded ; if, on the contrary, • there has been a
palace revolution, and the Grand Duke Constan-
tine should succeed to the throne, a general war
is almost inevitable." Information, both valuable
and interesting, has this morninc, been acquired at
various excellent sources, And theb essence of it will
now be communicated. The Vienna Congress
cannot hold its sittings for some time to come, as
Prince Gortschakoff and M. de Titoff will natu-
rally require fresh powers from their new Sove-
reign before they can act as his representatives.
As has been above observed, the Grand Duke
Alexander is most pacifically inclined, but mot
so his brother Constantine, who is here very
generally considered as the principal cause of the
calamities which have recently fallen on Europe.
By the death of the Czar, both the Emperor Francis
Joseph and the King of Prussia have acquired
greater freedom of action, and if his successor does
not voluntarily consent to make the concessions
considered necessary for the future welfare and
security of Europe, he will be forced to do so by
those very Powers which have hitherto exhibited
such an extreme disinclination to proceed offen-
sively against Russia.
A letter from Vienna of the Ist, in Spener's
Gazette of Berlin, says :—" The Prussian Ambas-
sador, Count Arnim, has not, up to this time, re-
ceived any communication which can lead him to
suppose that Prussia will send a plenipotentiary to
the approaching conferences. On the other hand,
Lord Westmoreland to-day received despatchesfrom
Berlin, informing him that the negotiations rela-
tive to a separate treaty between Prussia and the
Western Powers, which were going on between
Mr. Hammond, the English Under-Secretary of
State, and M. de Manteuffel, had not up to the
evening of the 28th led to any result. Lord
Westmoreland made known this despatch to Count
Buol this morning."

the exp.2.uses.

WAR OPERATIONS AT LIVERPOOL.

The screw-steamer Great Britain is to sail hence this
morning, for Queenstown. She will take a small de-
tachment of about 120 artillerymen from here, and
fill up her complement of 1,521 at Queenstown. They
will be drafts for various regiments in the Crimea.
The screw steamer Etna will sail to-morrow with
4 officers, 174 men, and 191 horses icr the Royal
Artillery, The screw-steamer Indian will sail on the 9th
or 10th with 5 officers, 154 men, and 113 horses for the
same corps. Amongst the latter are 17 remount horses,
and three hordes belonging to Major-Gene ral Simpson
and Col. Perceval. The paddle-steamer Cambria will go
out again to the Crimea with cavalry. The clipper-ship
Swordfish, the last of the hay ships chartered here by
Government, sailed for the Black Sea on Friday last. No
more hay ships are to be chartered here by Govern.
ment. Instead of that, Mr. Freelad, of Manchester,
the contractor for the hay, has undertaken to deliver
it at Malta or .the Crimea according to orders, a
plan that will, no doubt, expedite in that depart-
ment of the commissariat. Since the 2d Royal
Lancashire Militia Rifles left Liverpool, six
weeks ago, 105 men have volunteered to the line. The
enrolling to fill up the vacancies in this fine corps goes on
every Tuesday and Friday, at the Scssions-house, be-
tween 12 and 2. Some fine 32-pounders are expected
here to-day from Woolwich, to be pu i on board the Indian.
They are the largest class of field artillery yet intro-
duced into the British service, and each gun will be
drawn by twelve horses. The Russians first taught us
that it was practicable to manoeuvre such monster guns
with facility at the terrible battle of Inkerman, where
the two 18-pounder siege gems brought up by Lieut.•
Colonel Dickson succeeded in silencing a heavy battery
of Russian 32-pounders.—Liverpool Standard of Tues-
day.

ARTICLE M.

Official despatches coining either from the two Govern-
me-ts, or from the he of the Allied armies, aro
to have precedence of transuaissicu over all others, and on
a footing of perfect equality for the two countries. With
regard to despatches arriving at tho same moment, the
order of precedence in their transmission is to be alternate.
The same rules apply to private despatches, English and
French.

THE MEDITERRANEAN.

MALTA, Feb. 28.—A Council of War had been
lately held, at which Omer Paella, who had left
Eupatoria expressly, was also present, when the
modus operandi against the enemy was finally de-
termined upon. This is to attack the enemy in
the field (Liprandi's force), and in the event of suc-
cess, of which little doubt existed, to invest Sebas-
topol before attacking it. The Russian force is
thought to be nearly 150,000, and that of the Allies
not far short of that number, the English alone
being sadly reduced by disease. The weather was
fine, and the health of the troops rapidly improving.
The army of General Canrobert was in good health.
Steamers were constantly leaving the Crimea to
embark fresh troops, both English and French.
In matters of local news there is nothing to
report. We have had no arrivals of troops from
the westward ; but from the eastward wounded
and sick officers are continually passing through
en, route to England. The latest arrivals are as
follows :-25th, by the Melita, screw steamer,
Lieut. Stokes, R.E. ; Lieut. Phillipps ; Lieut.-Col.
White, Dragoon Guards ; Lieut. Hall, Coldstream
Guards; Major Bethune, 9th Regt. ; Capt. Dixon,
30th Regt.; Capt. Micklethwaite, 44th Regt.; Ma-
jor Vesey and Captain Foam, 46th Regt.; Captain
Fitzroy, 68th Light Infantry ;
.Captains Gloster,
Haldy, Walton, Lieut. Grant, Ensiga Whitler ;
Surgeons Mitchel, Mulock, Stewart, and Darcy—
regiments not reported.
Captain Kilvington, 62d Regiment, who was
lately employed as an aide-de-camp to Lieutenant-
General Fergusson, commanding the troops, but
who accompanied his regiment to the East when it
left Malta, died on Sunday last on board the
Meliht screw-steamer, as she was entering pert,
from the effects of dysentery he had contracted in
the East. He was buried on the following day
quite privately, in the cemetery at Florian.
Lieutenant Hanford, a young and promising
officer of the 23d Foot, who had but recently arrived
in Malta with a detachment of his regiment by the
transport steamer Croons, died on Saturday even-
ing of a low typhoid fever, with which he was at-
tacked on board. He was buried on the following
day in the cemetery of the Campo Santo a place
consecrated for the reception of the bodies of the
Roman Catholic community, of which he was a
j inember.
London, England, 1855-03-07

ARTICLE V.

If at any time after the construction of the line of one of
the two Governments desires that more wires should be
established, they are to be laid down and worked by the
French Government under the conditions fixed by the
preceding articles.
The English Government may have an agent attached to
the administration of th• line, to superintend the execu-
tion of the present agreement in regard to all that concerns
British interests.

METROPOLITAN SEWERS COMMISSION.—Yesterday a
special meeting was held at the chief office in Greek-
street, Mr. Jebb presiding. The secretary presented
the usual cash account, which showed an available
balance on the 28th ult. of 39,1851., to which should be
added the deposit account of 80,0001., making a total of
119,1851. In reference to a communication received
from the Board of Trade as to the display at the Paris
International Exhibition, of plans, sections, and models
illustrating the different modes of sewage, &c., emplo3ed
by this commission, the court passed the subjoined re-
solution :--" That in compliance with the invitation of
the Beard of Trade, it be referred to a:select committee
to inquire and report whether this court possesses or has
under its control models, &c., worthy of a place in the
forthcoming Exhibition of Paris; and, if so, whether such
a course be practicable,"

STIRLING.

The election of a member to serve in Parliament in
the room of the late Mr. Forbes, of Callender, took
place at Stirling, on Monday.
JOHN MuRRAY, Esq , of Polmaise, proposed Peter
Blackburn, Eq., of Killearn, as a fit and proper person,
to represent the county in Parliament.
The nomination was seconded in a few sentences by J.
G. ADAM, Esq., of Denovan.

declared Mr. Blackburn, of Killearn, duly elected as
member for Stirlingshire.
Mr. Blackburn returned thanks to the electors for the
honour they bad done him in electing him their repre-
sentative, more especially as he had not been able to
make a personal canvas, but bad been proposed by his
friends in his absence on a long voyage.

each year ; and after they have been examined and settled,
the balance which may be due by either party shall be
forthwith paid to the other.

CONVICTION AND SENTENCE ON

REV. DR. GILES:

At the Oxford Circuit Court, yesterday, the greatest
exc tement was manifested to hear the trial of the Rev.
John Allen Giles, D.C.L., for marrying, at uncanonical
hours, and making a false entry in the register. The
court was densely crowded. The defendant was placed
in the dock, and appeared calm and collected.

Mr. Keating, 0.b., and Ur. Huddlestane were coun-
sel for the prosecution ; Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Cripps, and
Mr: Scotland were for the defendant.

The indictment charged Dr. Giles first, with having
represented that a Robert Pratt and Jane Green were
married on the 3d of October, whereas they were married
on the sth of October, 1854 ; secondly, that he had said
they had been married by license, whereas they were
►.ot ;'and, th'rdly, that he had said they were married
in the pretence of one Charlotte Tate, whereas they were
not. •

It appeared that a Jane Green was in the service of
Dr: Giles--a man of great literary attainments, and wliof
spent much of his time in study—anti who was,. onet of
the stipendiary curates of the parish church of Eaniipo
tohne.

THE _FRIENDS OF POLAND.

A meeting of the friends of the reconstitution of Poland
as an independent State was held on Monday evening,
in the Manchester Town-hall, when there was a very
crowded attendance. Mr. William Martin presided.
Mr. J. A. TURNER moved a resolution expressive of
sympathy with the Polish nation, and desiring the resto-
ration of that country to independence. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. A. WATKIN seconded the resolution, which was
carried unanimously.
The Rev. Dr. VAUGHAN moved the adoption of a peti-
tion to Parliament in favour of the reconstitution of Po•
land. In doing so he spoke at great length upon all
circumstances connected with the war against Russia,
and, in conclusion, said the restoration of Poland would
be the rearing up of a great rampart between Russia
and Turkey on one side, and of the Western European
nations on the other, and both Austria and Prussia
might be made to see that it was their interest that it
should be so.

The petition was agreed to unanimously.
Mr. GOULD moved an expression of sympathy for
Poland, together with the copy of an address to Prince
Adam Czartoryski, of which the following is a copy :
" The three great principles of humanity, justice, and
freedom are identified with the problem of the re-esta-
blishment of the independence of Poland, and its solution
becomes daily of greater importance to the interests of
Europe. We contemplate with poignant grief the events
of the past which have a reference to the melancholy fate
of Poland. Her dismemberment reflects a discredit upon
the spirit of the times, but we chiefly deplore the indiffer-
ence with which Great Britain beheld the consummation
of that act of spoliation. However, we are inclined to
ascribe that apathy more to the want of proper knowledge,
of foreign affairs than to the influence of unfriendly feel-
ing. We are now anxious to make a compensation for
what we consider to have been a grave political error, by
the manifestation of our sympathy and a desire to support
the claims of Poland to her national independence. Under
the influence of such sentiments we address your highness,
hoping that our sympathy, now conveyed in words to you
and to your fellow-exiles, may be soon written by deeds,
which will realise your wishes and vindicate the rights of
nations."

Mr. J. GREGORY seconded the motion, which was
adopted with cheers.
M. ZABA then addressed the meeting in favour of the
reconstitution of Poland.

The meeting separated with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

they held opposite Eupatoria.
In their retreat they burned the villages in
which they had established themselves.
During the night, between the 23d and 24th

Lleven have been sent, the former to Berlin, the

latter to Vienna, to notify the accession to the

throng of the new Emperor.
General Rudiger has been ordered from Warsaw
to St. Petersburg, to take, it is said, the chief

given the chief command there to Prince Gort-
shakoff and the second to General Osten-Sacken.

We learn from St. Petersburg, under date of
the 6th of March, that Prince Menschikoff had
sent the following despatch to his Government :
On the night between the 21st and 22d of
February, we erected a redoubt on the left flank
of the fortifications of Sebastopol. This was done
so promptly and unexpectedly that we received no
annoyance from the enemy (the Allies.)
On the night between the 24th and 25th the
enemy (the Allies) attacked the redoubt with con-
siderable forces.

Two regiments repulsed them. The enemy los'

600 men.
The mining operations of the Allies have been
suspended.
Up to the 26th of February nothing new had
occurred at Eupatoria.

MARSEILLES, TUESDAY EVENING.

sance on Monday (the 19th), which failed, on ac-
count of the snow.

Sickness still prevailed among the troops, but
their morale was excellent.
The siege operations were advancing.
The fire was slack on both sides.
The Russians were continually throwing up
new fortifications.
The railway was progressing.

Geueral Canrobert has congratulated Omer

Pacha on the affair of Eupatoria.

It is believed that with the return of the fine
weather Omer Pacha will march against the Rus-

sian army.

The Turkish troops are full of enthusiasm.

Advices from Kamiesh Bay of the 24th of
February state that on the previous day the
French had destroyed the works round the Mala-
khoff Tower, but with great loss. [This is evi-

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRIMA,
with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the
Real Fufrerers under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure. From the German
of Dr. PICKFORD. With an Introduction by the Editor, containing
a complete exposure of the system of terrorism and extortion pursued
by the advertising quacks of the metropolis towards those who are
credulous enough to seek their aid.
" krt. Piektord is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
ti contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
t me, he Informs as, that he has addressed himself to the nou-rnedi-
eal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall ,tetect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be In his •ower to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,'
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who safnir.fr )m the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what Is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money --This volume is wel/ qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Si ,—ln your remarks on the Newspaper Stamp
Duties Bill, you observe that the reasons advanced
by the newspaper proprietors against the measure
go too far in stating " that the bill proposes to
remove all the securities against libel, or offences
against public order and morality," inasmuch as
the libel laws would still remain in force. As one
of the framers of those reasons, I beg to point out
that the penalties for libel are no securities against the
commission of the offence. The securities referred to are
the provisions by which the proprietors, printers, and
publishers of every newspaper are required to be regis-
tered, bonds with sureties given, aid copies of every
publication delivered at the Stamp-office. Sweep away
all these requirements, as proposed by the bill, and what
protection remains for the public against the foulest at-
tacks upon institutions and individuals by convicted par-
ties putting forward men of straw, or by persons of no
reputation or responsibility ?
When we see that the most active promoters of this
movement are connected with publications, at present
happily obscure, but of which, to use the words of one
of your contemporaries, the Postmaster-General is to be
Co/porteur-in-chief—disseminating principles alike op-
posed to religion and to the rights of property—l leave
you to judge whether we have not just grounds for ap-
prehension of a measure which, as they themselves an-
nounce, will be forthwith made use of " to scatter broad-
cast through the length and breadth of the land, at public
expense," their pestilential doctrines.—l am, Sir, your
I obedient servant,
A COUNTRY NEWSPAPER PROPRIETOR.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, DEC. 18.
In cotton cloth a more active demand has been expe-
rienced, but higher prices have been asked, and the busi-
ness transacted, though considerable, has not been large.
The advices from China are considered very favourable,
both as regards exchanges and the prospects of business,
and shippers hare been inquiring actively for the better
makes of 40-inch shirtiege, including 60, 64, and 66
reed cloths. Manufacturers, however, have asked as
much as lid., and in seine cases 3d. per piece advance,
and this has checked the business. Printers, also, have
been active buyers of cloth suited to the home markets.
For India the business done was not so large as ex-
pected, but some considerable orders were in the market,
the execution of which has been prevented by higher
rates being demanded. In addition to more cheering
accounts from foreign markets, an easier state of the
money-market aid the rumours of peace (though not
much credited) have had no effect in producing a better
feeling. !sl en of considerable experience regard affairs
R 8 in a much better position than for some time pa't,
though the complaints from manufacturers and spinners
of unremunerative prices are still very numerous. There
has been less business in yarre,, both by shippers and on
account of manufacturers, but no change in prices.
The suspension of a large spinner and manufacturer at
Firwood, near Middleton (!Ir. James Cheetbam), was
mentioned on the Exchange, and took people a good deal
by surprise. The amount of liabilities was so variously
stated that it will be better to avoid giving the rumours
on that head. The meeting of creditors is called for
Friday. It is feared that the stoppage will bring down
one or two smaller manufacturers who were connected
with the concern.

LEEDS, DEL 18.
There has been a fair amount of business done in the
cloth-halls this morning, taking into account the season
of the year. The tone of the woollen trade is at least
firm, with some signs of improvement. Some of the
manufacturing villages in the neighbourhood have just
received en accession of work in the shape of orders for
from 12,000 to 15,000 ends of Spanish stripes for the
Chin► and India trade, which has for some time been but
slack. The news from America has given a little impe-
tus to the houses engaged in the export trade to that land,
and they are beginning to give out orders. Wool con•
tinues firm in price, and there is no great disposition to
sell.

By order of the trustees public announcement wag
made in the Coloured Cloth-hall during the time the
market was held to-day that, in consequence of next
Tuesday being Christmas-day, the market will be held
on Wednesday in next week, instead of Tuesday.
The report of to-day's Huddersfield cloth market is
again of a satisfactory character. A better feeling ap-
peared to prevail, and a tolerable amount of steel mix-
tures, unions, and other goods changed hands. Job
lots at reduced prices were in demand. Wool was
steady in price.
London, England, 1855-12-19

SOUTHWARK.

ATT 11EPTID SIIIOIDN.—Aura Curl, a middle-aged
female of rather decent appearance, was brought before
Mr. Gambe charged with taking a quantity of laudanum
with intent to commit suicide.

Police Constable 229 M said that about twelve o'clock
on Saturday night he was on duty in the Borough,
and While proceeding from Wellington-street to the
Borough Market he perceived the prisoner lying on the
steps apparently asleep. He endeavoured to rouse her
up, but she was quite insensible. He immediately pro-
cured assistance and conveyed her to the station-house,
whoa she partially recovered before the fire, and in a
faint voice said she was dying as she had taken poison.
By direetion of the Inspector on duty he conveyed her
to St. Thomas's Hospital, where the stomach pump was
used aad a large quantity of laudanum ejected from the
stomach. She was extremely ill afterwards, and had
remained in the hospital until yesterday when he went
and took her into custody.
Mr. Candle asked the prisoner what WAS the cause of
her attempting to destroy herself I
She replied that she had been entirety deserted by her
friends, and had no home to go to ; in fact distress
drove her to commit the act.

Mr. Combo sesked her whether abe had any relations
in London ?

She replied that she had not, and she bad ISO one to
help her.
Mr. Combe asked the constable whether he had ascer-
tained anything about her ?
The constable said that he had had no opportunity of
ending anything about her, as she refused to give any
information respecting herself.
Mr. Combo asked whether he knew where she got the
laudanum ?
The constable replied that he did not, as she bad not
a farthing about her. From her manner, he believed
she was not in her right sense,.
Mr. Combe remanded her to Horsemonger-lane Gaol
for a week, where she would be attended by a medical
gentleman, who would be able to ascertain her real state
of mind. In the meanti:no the constable would be able
to make some inquiries about her.
