The Assemblie Nationale, in an article on religious
liberty, notices as follows the recent condemnation of
Madisi and his wife in Tuscany :
" The Catholic Governments of the South of Europe
are right in being on their guard against the manceuvres
of the revolutionary spirit, but they should take great
care that public opinion in Europe cannot mistake
the veritable character of the repression to which
they have recourse. They must not subject
themselves to being accused of violating con-
seiences, and on that account we deplore the judg-
ment of the Court of Florence ,which condemns Tuscan
.subj eats to hard labour for the simple fact of having em-
braced the Protestant religion. We can understand the
caution which this condemnation has produced in Eng-
land and Protestant countries. Prussia and England
have, it appears, complained to the Government of the
Grand Duke of Tuscany. It is true that this Government
might have replied to England that it had not demanded
from it account of the iniquitous condemnation of Dr.
Newman in the Achilli case. But the iniquity of the
judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench does not excuse
the judgment of the Tribunal of Florence. These two
sentences wound the sanctity of Christian truth, and the
sentiment of honour of all honest people."
The warmest friends of the Elysee profit by every
occasion to remove the idea of any warlike inten-
tion on the part of the President, not merely with
reference to the Turkish question, but with refer-
ence to European affairs generally. They seem
to be quite certain, that, with respect to questions
of European interest, the more or less absolute
maintenance of the treaties of 1815, &c., they
will have sufficient influence for the convoca-
tion of an European Congress, when, they add, all
such matters may be settled a ; but they
seem very earnest in repudiating hostile intentions.
Such is the substance of their conversation on all oc-
casions when the topic is started.
Notvrithstanding the extensive repairs now going
on at the Palace of the Tuileries, it is believed that
the President even when Emperor will not give up
the Elysee ; it will continue to be his residence when
in Paris, and the Tuileries will only be used for
State occasions and official receptions. In the new
Corps of Guides in course of organization, Captain de
Toulongeon will, it is stated, enter as Chef d'Esca-
dron. There are, or were very lately, only 60 vacan-
cies for officers, and for these places I am assured that
not less than 600 demands have been sent in.
Prince Callimaki, the Turkish Ambassador, has
received his letters of renal.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

NEW RAILWAY PROJECTS.

THE Swiss RAILWAY.—The plan of the Swiss railway
has made its appearance. The capital to be raised by
the " Western Railway of Switzerland " is 325,0001., of
which one-third is stated to have been already subscribed
in Switzerland. This is the first section of a series of
lines recommended by Mr. Robert Stephenson, and is to
commence at Merges and Lausanne, on the Lake of
Geneva, and terminates at Yverdun on the Lake of
Neufchatel. By future concessions from the several
cantonal governments, it is proposed subsequently to
carry railway communication from Geneva to Lake
Constance, and from Lucerne to Bale. The contractor
engages to pay 4 per cent. interest on the capital during
the progress of the works, and to deliver the line ready
for traffic within eighteen months. The concession is
for ninety-nine years, and the cantonal government re-
serves the right to purchase the line at the end of twenty
years, upon a two years' previous notice at the market
price of the day. in addition to a bonus of 10 per cent.
HULL AND HOLDERNE3II.—The Hull and Holderness
Railway is another newly-projected English line, to be
constructed upon the cheap principle, chiefly with a view
to agricultural requirements. The line is to run from
Hull, by way of Ry hill, Camerton, Burstwick,Keyinghare,
Halsham, Ottringham, Wincatead, and Patrington, and
terminate near the sea at Withernsea, in the parish of
Hollym, in Holderness. The line will communicate
with the East Dock branch of the York and North Mid-
land Railway, traffic arrangements with which company
have already been entered into. As only a single line
of rails is at first to be laid down, although sufficient
land for a double line will be purchased, offers are stated
to have been made to construct it at the rate of 5,0004
per mile, so that the entire capital required is only
120 0001 The project is stated to receive considerable
local support.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—Nov. 1.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulbtrn.)
IN RE COLQUUOUN.
The bankrupt was a solicitor at Woolwich. This was
the adjourned certificate meeting.
Mr. Lawrence supported the bankrupt, and stated
that the opposition which was offered at the former
meeting was now withdrawn.
Mr. Bower, for the assignees, said that they had no
complaint to allege against the conduct of the bankrupt
either before or since his bankruptcy. He had been
most attentive in assisting the assignees to realise the
property.
His Honour said this was a very important point,
especially in the ease of a solicitor, where the assets
must consist principally of bills of costs.
A creditor named Sayers said he wished to oppose,
but not having given notice he could not be heard.
The balance-sheet was in the following form;
From Jan. 1, 1849, to Nov. 25, 1851.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Mr. Lambe, a director, and
Mr. Eayres, the secretary of the Plate-glass Insurance
Company, waited upon the Lord Mayor for the purpose
of representing to his lordship that persons were in the
habit of discharging air-guns at plate-glass windows at
night. It was supposed by those who had examined
the bullet holes made in the glass that tho directions
must have been mado from the tops of omnibuses as
they passed along, and the police are surprised that the
loss of life has not been the consequence. There were
three cases on Saturday evening in Cheapside, one of
which was a repetition of a former attaek.
The Lord Mayor, having mado inquiries amongst the
police, was informed by the inspectors that they enter-
tained no doubt as to the use of air guns upon the oc-
casion.

Mr. Lambe said the company had come to the deter-
mination to state the facts to the Lord Mayor before
they paid the demand made upon them for the large
expenses. _

The Lord Mayor said he was prepared to act if any
parson guilty of such atrocious conduct should bo brought
before him, and that the press would no doubt rouse
the feelings of the public upon tho occasion.
'rho holes made in the plate glass wore such 'as a
pistol bullet would Lasko in timber. No bullet or missile
of any kind was found in any of the shops, the windows
of which were penetrated.

It appeared that the bankrupt had passed his last exa-
mination on the 21st May last, and on the 18th of June
had made application for his certificate. The hearing
was adjourned to enable the assignees to realize the
outstanding property and to collect the debts, also for a
special report to be made by the official assignee' as to
tho reality of the capital or surplus with which the bank-
rupt commenced his accounts in January, 1849.
Mr. Nicholson, the official assignee, reported that of
good debts stated to be owing to the bankrupt in Jan.,
1649, to the amount of 8,4971., the whole had been re-
ceived except 7381.; while upon the property, returned
at 25,9244, there bad been a loss of 1,5411. The assets
ware returned in the balance-sheet at 10,9221; of this
amount, 4,8201. had been realized; and it was probable
that at least 2,750/. more would be received; making a
total of 7,570/. These assets were sufficient, in the
gross, to pay a dividend of 10s. in the pound; but after
the expenses were deducted, the dividend would not be
more than 7s. 6d. The total expense of the two years
and ten months had been 7,6881., including 3,3231. for
interest; while the whole of the bankrupt's income dur-
ing that period had amounted to 4,7271. The cash-book
had been remarkably well kept—for, though the entries
were of very large amount, upwards of 77,000/.2 the book
balanced within a few pounds.
An immediate certificate of the second-class was
granted.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.)

IN RE ROOFER.

This was the certificate meeting in the case of Matthew
S. Hooper; tea dealer, of Billiter-street. The accounts,
prepared by Mr. Pettis, extended over four years prior
to the failure in March last. The bankrupt debited
himself with a capital of 1,405/. on the Ist of January,
1848. He now owed to unsecured creditors 2,0281.;
to those holding security, 7981 ; besides liabilities of
761/. The only assets consisted of 514 in good debts,
and 39/. in property. His profits had been 1,096.; losses,
2421.; ditto from bad debts, 3,0331.; expenses, 1,9351.
Mr. Denton opposed for Messrs. Smith, Payne, and
Smith, bankers, the assignees. The bankrupt was
charged with being a party to accommodation bills to a
considerable amount, which he had got discounted. The
bills had been drawn upon Henry Williams and Co., of
Dublin, and others, who, it was contended, the bank-
rupt knew wore men of straw. A letter to him from a
member of his family set forth that ono of the parties
upon whom he wished to draw as being a resident in St.
Mary Axe, London, had no moans of either becoming
an occupant of premises in that locality, or of paying
the rent. Another person drawn upon was the bank-
rupt's own gardener.
Mr. Hollams opposed for a creditor, Mr. Parker, on
the ground that the bankrupt had obtained from him an
advance of money, to the amount of 547/., by false re-
presentations. A number of letters was put in to show
that the bankrupt was insolvent at the time the loan was
made, and it was contended :that his alleged capital of
1,4001. was fictitious.
Mr Linklater—Then the certificate will bo of the
second class, to be granted at the expiration of 12
months.

GUILDHALL.—John Cooper was charged with being
concerned, with others not in custody, in com►nitting a
burglary on the premises of Messrs. Whittaker, of Ave
Maria•lane, and stealing plate and money to tho value
of several handled pounds.

Mr. W. Comber Hooper Hood, ono of the partners in
the firm, said the prisoner had been in their employ for
the last fourteen or fifteen years, and a very high
opinion of his honesty was entertained. On Sunday
evening, about ten o'clock, the prisoner went to pro-
secutor's house in Gloucester-terrace, and informed
him that the premises in Ave Maria-lane had been
broken open, and a quantity of property taken
away. He returned with the prisoner, who told him
that he was passing through the lane on his way to
church, and finding the door open he was induced to go
in and examine the premises, when ho discovered the
place in the utmost confusion. The plate chest was
ransacked, and every drawer in which money was kept,
was pillaged of various amounts, from 101. up to 501. in
gold and silver, taken from each of them. There were
about 30 drawers and desks that bad been forced, and
bills were strewn about in every direction. Prosecutor
sent for the police, and on a closer examination he found
that before any attempt was made upon the iron safe his
own private drawer had been forced open, and the key
of the safe taken from a concealed drawer of which not
more than two or three persons in the establishment
could have been aware. The key was replaced after the
safe had been opened, from which the prosecutor was in-
(laced to suspect some one in his employ ; and, from
further information, he gave the prisoner into custody
in the morning. It was the prisoner's duty to see the
promises carefully fastened when closed, and to keep the
keys while the other servants were absent.
William Hughes and Richard Hughes deposed to see-
ing the prisoner leaving the premises in question ou Sun-
day morning, about eleven o'clock, as they wore going
to church. They knew him by sight, as they lived next
door to Messrs. Whittaker's, and noticed that he stepped
bask to let them pass. Ho was, they thought, dressed
in black.

Mr Hood said when the prisoner came to his house he
was dressed in a black coat and waistcoat.

Daniel May, a detective officer, said ho was called in
and witnessed the disturbed state of the promises de-
scribed by Mr. Hood, who showed him where the entry
bad been made. The prisoner was called into the pri-
vate room and asked when he last saw the pre-
mises safe, and he said it was at nine o'olock on
Saturday night, and the next time he saw them
was at six o'clook on Sunday evening, when he was
passing to church. Ho tried the door, and found it open.
He told witness ho had never left his lodgings during
the whole of the day on Sunday until he went to
church in the evening. He also described to witness the
place where the entry was made, and how effected; but
although the entry by that window might have been
gained from the outside, the weakness of the fastenings
could only have been ascertained from within, and was
not in any way apparent outside.
Mr. Hood said that au entry at the same window had
been attempted about eighteen months ago.
The accused was remanded for further inquiries.
No portion of the property has been recovered.

MARYLEBONE.—Anne Campbell, a genteel-looking
female, about 28 years of age, was charged with stealing
a quantity of jewellery, the property of Mrs. Phillips,
late of 45, Albert-street, Camden-town.
The officer Lockorby, on being sworn, said—On Sunday
afternoon, in consequence of information I had received, I
went to Ashton-villa, Knowle-hill, near Maidenhead, with
Mr. Templeman, junior, (prisoner's solicitor). I saw the
prisoner with another lady on the lawn, and asked her if
her name was Miss Campbell. She replied that it was ;
and on my telling her that I wished to speak to her, she
asked me to walk in. I did so, and then told her I was
a police-officer. She asked me what was the matter,
and I informed her that a quantity of jewellery had
been stolen from Mrs. Phillips's during the time she
was there, and that sho was suspected. She asked me
who suspected her, and I told her Mrs. Phillips, by
whom I had been sent down to find her. She said,
"Flow could Mrs. Phillips suspect me after the kind-
ness T ha'o shown hor ; if any cue has taken the
articles of jewellery they must have been taken by
her daughter." She asked me if they had been
questioned about them, and I told her they had, but
teey denied all knowledge of the affair. She
(prisoner) at my request, gave me up her
keys, ssyieg, "You may search me first, and my
boxers afterwards." I did not then search her, but
went with her and the lady to ti room where there were
some boxes, and which she (prisoner) said wore her's.
While I was in the act of unlocking a trunk prisoner,
who was much agitated, ran out into the yard, into
which I followed her, when she said she must have a glass
of water. Mr. Templeman was with me, and I left her
with him. I wont back to the room, and in the presence
of the lady who was on the lawn with prisoner. I
searched the trunk, in which I found a small box. Tho
said box was unlocked by prisoner, and in it were a pearl
brooch, a pearl necklace, a pair of ear-drops, a pair of
bracelets, and a Maltese cross, us also a crucifix, wrapped
up in flannel. Loakerby here produced the articles he
had enumerated, with the exception of the crucifix. Pri-
soner said, " I saw Mrs. Phillips show these things one
evening. I understood her to say sho was going to sell
them,aud I thought her daughters had more right to them
than she had. I did not intend keeping them myself. I
was trying to get two of the young ladies into a con-
vent, as their mother behaved so bad to them, and by
presenting the jewels to the convent the ladies would be
well treated, if they presented anything of the value of
201. Others who gave nothing would be very differently
dealt with." Prisoner afterwards said that her mother
had charge of the things, and that upon one occasion
she (her mother) gave her the key of a drawer, to which
sho went to get some cuffs; sho then took the jewellery.
She alleged that sho was going to sell the valuable pro-
perty for Mrs. Phillips, who, as she alleged, was in hard
circumstances, but I believe she is worth 7001. to 800/.
per year. When I took prisoner into custody, the other
lady said she would give up the jewels. Prisoner cried
and said sho took them for the solo purpose of getting
the young ladies into a convent.
Mr. Broughton, after carefully reviewing the whole
of the evidence adduced, remarked, that the offence of
endeavouring to proselytise the daughters of a:Protestant
clergyman, and induce them to enter a convent was an
offence of a most serious description, and he should re-
mand the prisoner till Monday next.
Oa being removed from the bar by Addey, the gaoler,
she burst into tears, and exclaimed—" Oh, for God'a
sake, don't send me to prison. I am an officer's daughter,
and a general's grandaughter." She was then locked

Ilia Honour—Yes; but understand that the Court has
reprooated, in the strongest terms, the praoti.o of draw-
ing accommodation bills, either upon fictitious persons,
or upon those who, though they may have an existence,
have a very different one from that ascribed to them. It
is not less an offence to draw a bill upon John Smith,
who, it is well known, is unable to meet the bill, than
upon a fictitious party altogether.
Mr Linklater—Your Honour will be pleased to grant
protection.
His Honour—Yes.

SOME ACCOUNT OF MRS, BEECHER
STOIVE AND HER FAMILY.

The family to which Mrs. Stowe belongs is more
widely and favourably known than almost any other iu
the United States. It consists of the following pursons :
1. Rev. Lynnn Beecher, the father, doctor of divinity,
ex-president of Line Theological Seminary, and late
pastor of a Presbyterian church at Cincinnati, Ohio.
2. Rev. William Beecher, pastor of Chilicothe, Ohio.
3. Rev. Edward Beecher, pastor at Boston, Massachu-
setts. _ _ _ _

4. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, pastor at New York

city.
5. nov. Charles Beecher, pastor at Newark, New
Jersey.
6. itev. Thomas Beecher, pastor at Williamsburg,
New Jersey
7. Rev. George Beecher, deceased several years bine°.
His dead► was caused by the accidental discharge of a
gun. At the time he was oue of th© most eminent men
in the western church. .

8. Mr. James Beecher, engaged in oommexcial busi.
ness at Boston.

9. Miss Catherine Beecher.
10. Alm Harriet B. Stowe.
11. Mrs. Perkins.
12. Mrs. Hooker.
Twelve ! the apostolic number. And of the twelve,
seven apostles of the pulpit and two of the pen, after the
manner of the nineteenth century. Of the other three,
one has been swrpt into commerce by the strong current
setting that way in America; and the other two, wives of
lawyers of respectable standing, and mothers of families,
have been absorbed by the cares and affectionsof domes-
tic life. They are said to be no wayinferior in point of
natural endowments, to the nine who have chosen to play
their parts in life before a larger public. Indeed, persons
who know intimately all the twelve, are puzzled to assign
superiority to any ono of them. With the shades of
difference which always obtain between individual
cbaracte.rs, they bear a very striking resemblance to
each other, not only physically, but intellectually
and morally. All of them aro about the common size,
—the doctor being a trifle below it and some of the song
a trifle above it,—neither stout nor alight, but compactly
and ruggedly built. Their movements and gestures
have much of the abruptness and want of grace common in
Yankee land where the opera and dancing school are con-
sidered institutions of Satan. Their features are large and
irregular, and though not free from a certain manly beauty
the men, are scarcely redeemed from homeliness in the
women, by the expression of intelligence and wit which
lights them up, and fairly sparkles in the blueish grey
eyes. All of them have the energy of character, restless
activity, strong convictions, tenacity of purpose, deep
sympathies, and spirit of self-sacrifice, which are such
invaluable qualities in thu character of propagandists.
It would be irepossible for the theologians among
them to be members of any other than the church mili-
tant. Pathar and Sons, they have ever been in the
