A MILITARY MAN AMID FINE SCENERY.—At
Pirna, and hither and thither in Saxon Switzerland, Fried-
rich certainly was. " Who ever saw such positions, your
Majesty?" For Friedrich is always looking out, were it
even from the window of his carriage, and putting military
problems to himself in all manner of scenery, " What
would a man do, in that kind of ground, if attackinz, if
attacked with that hill, that brook, that Lit of bog ?" and
advises every officer to be continually doing the like. That
is the value of picturesque or other scenery to Friedrich,
and their effect on good Prussian officers and him.--

THE ROYAL INSURANCE COMPANY
has much satisfaction in announcing, to the public that
the effort which was made (so far as
.its proprietors were
conce,ned by on.y one individual t olding fifteen shares, to
rest-ain its recent iberality on occasion oi the ate fearful
explcsion at Liverpool, has entirely and completely failed,
the Vice-Chancellor declaring that as the plaintiff did no
come in o cour, for the benefit of the Company the bid must
be dismis!,ed with co-ts.
The course pursued by this office received in three days the
approval of prupriet re holcUng nearly 40,000 shares, irrespec-
tive of 20,000 held by the directors themselves—
of 63.0(.0 cutof 0
I,Cooissued. It is, therefore,
making 5, tote;
evident, that he vast majority, it not almost all without ex-
of the h D:ders of. the remaining
ex-
ception, a4,C00 shares would
bave signified a like acquiesee,ce it time had afforded oppor-
tunity fur the act.
The public may noW,.,therefore, be assured of the conqnu-
-nee of the same principle of liberality which has ever dis-
tinguished this Office. supported as it Is by the decis.on of the
Tice-Chancellor, and backed by the prompt and cordial
acquie c 'nee cf its sharehaleers.
The Royal Insurance Company thankfully acknow'edges
the generous assis•arce given 1:1 the shape of affidavits f,om
the representatives of the Sun, Phoenix, Royal Exchange,
and Alliance, attesting their coomirrence in the course taken
by the Royal in the ex gratia p,iyme.it of the losses sus-
taineri—these great companies having themtelves acted in
the like liberal spirit.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

Although the system of joint-stock banking has been esta-
blished to meet the requirements of most departments of
trade, it has not been intro lucei ;or the business of the
Agricultural and Cattle-markets of the metropolis ; and
though the population has doubled within the last twenty-
five years—and consequently the necessary quantity of sup-
plies —yet the whole business, amounting to fifteen to twenty
millions per annum, is left in the hands of a few private
firms.

The Albion Bank is introduced to provide increased
facilities for this trade, by establishing an office in the City,
as well as at Smithfield and the Metropolitan Catt e-market ;
and subsequently, shou'd it be found desirable, by opening
branches in he agricultural districts.

The value of the rapidly-increasing commission business
to be trans icted by the All:ion Bank can be readily appre-
ciat,d by a kno sledge that the method in which de dings are
carried on at the (;at;le-market c mstifute the ba ,k, the de-
po,itory of all the moneys passing from the buyer to the
producer.
The Direct vs have Entered into provisional arrane. ements
by which the advantage of c mmencing upon an e4tabl shed
connexion, under comee'ent and experlenc d manageme, t,
will be se Aired to Sh3rehnliers from the c mmence-
men t of busin, es, by which they are warrauted.in expect-
ing- that they wi 1 be enabled to declare a dividend during
the first N ear.
Should no al otment take plac 2 the depo,its will b, returned
;n full. Should a less number of Shares be a 1 ,tted lb on nre
,polled for, the deposit w ll be mlde available towards thit
p yment on llottnent, and the ba ance, if any, returned to
the aronlic ,nt.

Auplication for Shares may be addressed to the Bankers,
Broker.. or Directors of the Company, and to the See et ry,

liEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES.—Statistics
show that 60,000 persons annually fall victims to Pul-
monary Disorders, including consumption, diseases of the
chest, and the respiratory organs. Prevention is at all times
better than cure ; be, therefore, prepared during the wet and
wintry season with a supply of KEATING'S COUGH
LOZENGES, which possess the virtue of averting, as well as
of curing a cough or cold ; they are good alike for the young
or for the aged—they soothe bronchial irritation ; and for im-
proving the voice, the preacher, statesman, singer, and actor
have long patronised them,
" St. Paul's Cathedral, 30th November, 1R49.
" Sir,—l have much pleasure in recommending y our lozenges
to those who may be distressed with hoarseness. They have
afforded me relief on several occasions when scarcely able to
sing from the effects of catarrh. I think they would be very
useful to clergymen, barristers, and public orators.

Duke Charles of Glucksburg.

The following telegrams have been forwarded to
us through Renter's agency. Like the first state-
ment, from the same source, which we yesterday
contradicted, they are concoctions of the Augusten-
burg faction, and are utterly unreliable :
HAMBURG, JAN. 22.

" The Duke Charles of Gluckeburg, elder brother
to the King of Denmark, has refused the oath of
allegiance under the following circumstances:—
" le November last the duke, with other landed
proprietors of Schleswig, refused to take the oath
of allegiance to the King. Subsequent to this
refusal he was induced, while in Copenhagen, to
sign a document containg the required oath, under
the promise that no proceedings should be taken
against the other persons who had refused in con-
junction with him to take the oath. On finding,
however, that this promise was not kept, Duke
Charles asked that the document should be returned
to him ; this having been done he destroyed it,
thus virtually refusing the oath.
" COPENHAGEN, Jan. 22 (Evening).

" It has been stated, as proof of the good under-
standing subsisting between the King and his
brother, Duko Charles of Glueksburg, that the
latter was present at the banquet recently given to
the Itigstlag. This statement is false. The duke
was not present at the banquet, and was rot even
in Copenhagen on that day."

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE FOLLY OF TREATING STRANGERS.—A WELL-
KNOWN THIEF,—Emily Sinclair and Charlotte Johnson,
the former a well•known thief, were charged before Mr.
Knox, with stealing a watch of the value of £5, from the
person of a young man named Girling, porter at 12, Cork-
street, Burlington-gardens.
From the evidence of the prosecutor, it appeared that
about one o'clock this morning he went into the Duke of
York public house, Union-street, Oxford-street, and there
saw the prisoners. They asked him to treat them, and he
did so, and on doing so he felt a tug at his watch, and on
looking at his chain found that his watch was gone, the
swivel of the chain having been broken. He accused Sin-
clair, who was the nearest to him of having taken it, and
thinking she might have passed it to the other pri-
soner, gave them both into custody. While on the way to
the station Sinclair dropped the watch from under her
clothes. , _

Police-constable Wm. Claricoats, 72 C, said on taking
the prisoners into custody, he observed Sinclair put her
hand under clothes, and while going along Oxford -street
she dropped the prosecutor's watch.
Mr. Knox asked if anything was known of the prisoners,
and Sergeant Fornett said that Sinclair had several times
been in custody for felony, and had once suffered 18
months' imprisonment.
Mr, Knox said he should discharge Johnson, and re-
mand Sinclair that the convictions against her might be
proved.

FUNERAL OF ADMIRAL HAMELIN.

The funeral of this distinguished French admiral
took place on Thursday last at the Church of the
Invalides. Paris, and was conducted with much
ceremony. A numerous body of troops, consisting
of eight battalions of infantry, a battalion of light
infantry, two squadrons of cavalry, two batteries of
artillery, a battalion and a squadron of the Paris
Guard, with their bands and colours, was present,
and the Imperial Gaard was represented by a bat-
talion and a squadron of the corps. The troops
were massed around the church, and presented
arms at the same time as those of their com-
rades who were on duty within the building. The
navy was represented by many officers of high rank
who were stationed around the bier. Several Mini-
sters, diplomatists, marshals, and officers of the
Imperial household were present, as well as a great
number of officials of all descriptions, and depu-
tations from the army, National Guard, the Senate,
the Legislature, the Council of State, and many
other bodies. The Emperor was represented
by an aide-de-camp, General of Division Mollard,
and by Count de Laferriere, one of his Ma-
jesty's chamberlains. Prince Napoleon and the
Princess Mathilde were also represented. A
portion of the church was set apart for the
use of the deceased admiral's family and friends,
amongst whom, as chief mourners, were the admi-
ral's eldest son, Captain E. Hamelin ; his second
son, Captain A. Hamelin ; and his nephew, M.
Desvarannes. The cords of the pall were held by
Baroche, Minister of Justice ; Marshal Vaillant,
Minister of the Imperial Household and of Fine Arts;
Count de Chasseloup-Laubat, Minister of Marine and
of Colonies; and Vice-Admiral Trehouart, senator,
representing Admiral Desfosses, who was indis'posed.
At the commencement of the ceremony a salvo of
11 guns was fired by the artillery stationed
on the quai of the Invalides, and during the
progress of the service a military band played alter-
nately with the organ and with the vocal music
executed by the choristers. A second salvo of 11
guns was fired at the conclusion of the ceremony,
and at 1 o'clock the coffin, on a car drawn by six
horses, was conveyed to the gate of the Invalides,
when the troops marched past. The mortal remains
of the gallant sailor were eventually borne by some
petty officers in the navy to the vaults of the church,
where by order of the Emperor, they are to repose,
surrounded by many a gallant old soldier.

THAMES.

WIFE BEATING .—William Perry, aged 28, a labourer,
was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with assaulting
his wife Elizabeth, who carried a baby in her arms. Her
face was swollen and her loft eye blackened. Upon enter-
ing the witness box she said the prisoner was her husband
and the father of her children, and she did not wish him to
be sent to prison. Mr. Partridge said there were marks
of considerable violence on the woman's face, and he would
not allow the charge to be withdrawn. She was then sworn
and stated that she was living at No. 4, Windaor-terrace,
Canal-road, Stepney. Her husband came home intoxicated
last night. He was like a madman, He called her
by the most filthy names, and said he had come
home for the purpose of breaking everything
in the place, and said that she must provide
another home for herself and five children. He then beat
her about the head, face, and body with his fists most fear-
fully. He had very often beaten her when he was under
the influence of liquor, but he was very well when he was
sober. He was in the practice of stopping away from his
home all night.
Lydia Smith, a poor seamstress, who looked half f. wished,
said she lived in the same house as Mr. and Mrs. Perry.
The wife was an industrious and very clean woman. The
prisoner came home last night and beat his wife in a most
frightful manner. He commenced by kicking over a tub
of water with which his wife was cleaning the passage, and
said "out you go."

The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said his wife corn-
rnitted adultery with a beer shop-keeper named Adams, who
carried on business in Limehouse, and they were seen
coming out of a house of bad repute a fortnight after she
was confined with her child. She commenced using very
foul language when he came home last night. The prisoner
then gave utterance to a volley of blasphemy and obscenity
as an illustration of what his wife said. He was frequently
checked by the magistrate. The wife was recalled, and
denied emphatically that she had given her husband any
cause for complaint, and the witness Mrs. Smith said the
complainant was a well conducted woman.
After a long discussion, Mr. Partridge said the prisoner
was not bound to maintain his wife if she was false to him,
but she denied on oath what her husband alleged against
her. The prisoner was an ill-conditioned, badly disposed
man, and he had wounded his wife very severely on a former
occasion by flinging a basin at her. He believed the wife
was very desirous of speaking the truth, and that she had
a good feeling towards the prisoner, whom she wished to
screen from punishment when she entered the witness-box.
The prisoner was a savage fellow, and his boisterous and
improper conduct in court did not say much in his favour.
He sentenced him to be imprisoned for one month and kept
to hard labour.

THE ARMY.

A large quantity of engineers' stores, consisting of 10,000
trenching tools, wheelbarrows, carts, &c., were yesterday
despatched in barges from Woolwich Arsenal for shipment
on board the freight ship Queen of the Deep, for New
Zealand.

Capt. Frederick Augustus Foster,Royal Marine Artillery,
and a staff of non-commissioned officers from Fort Cumber-
land, Portsmouth, have been engaged at Woolwich during
the past week in examining a number of men of the Royal
Marine Light Infantry, who have been permitted to volun-
teer for the atovenamed corps. Each man was subjected
to a strict test of his knowledge of reading, writing, arith-
metic, &c., and was required to be of sound constitution,
and especially to have good eyesight, so as to distinguish
distant objects readily with one eye. Forty-five were
eventually selected from the division, and will join the corps
at Portsmouth. The Woolwich battalion, which were
already 142 short of their required strength, are thus stripped
of a further number of picked men, to the great annoyance
of the officers and non-commissioned officers of the corps, by
whose labour and tuition they have arrived at their present
state of efficiency, only to be transferred to the rival branch
of the forces. Capt. Foster and his staff are now under
orders to proceed to Chatham for the same purpose.
Capt. Connolly, Lieuts. Woodford, Hopkins, and Bow-
man, and a detachment of Royal Marines Light Infantry
for some time stationed at Deptford, consisting of 120 non-
commissioned officers and privates, yesterday joined the
head-quarters of the division at Woolwich. The barracks
at Deptford will be occupied until further orders by a ser •
geant, corporal, and 12 privates only.

WESTMINSTER.

IN THE LOWEST DEPTH IS A LOWER STILL.—Mary
Ann Hudson, a woman about 25 years of age, was charged
with being drunk, and using the most disgraceful and
offensive language to a lady, and otherwise miscondueting
herself,

Sergeant Ayres, 27 D, said that there was a dress ball
last night at the Vestry Hall, King's-road, Chelsea, and
as the company entered the defendant posted herself at the
door and conducted herself very disgracefully, using a
most offensive epithet to a lady, who gave her no provoca-
tion, and who kindly repaid the insult by entreating that
defendant should not be taken into custody for it. Witness
then removed the defendant and sent a constable to watch
her, who finding that she continued her impropriety of con-
duct took her into custody, and conveyed her to the station.
The defendant, in reply to the charge, said she never
used any bad language to any one, although she admitted
that she had been drinking. Dennis, the gaoler, said she
was a well known and most disorderly woman.
_ _

Defendant—Oh, dear me, no, I am Lot.
Mr. Selfe—l have only been at this court a twelvemonth,
and I have seen you here at least ten or twelve times.

Defendant—l always have the bad luck to be brought
before you.

Dennis—That is not true, She is quite as often before
Mr. Arnold. I think she has been here altogether fifty
times.

Mr. Selfe—lt is my duty to protect the public from an-
noyance by persons of your class, and I shall certainly
do it. You are, unhappily, not only a person of a certain
immoral condition of life, but you become worse and worse,
and are an habitual drunkard. This sort of conduct can-
not be permitted to go on, and I now caution you for the
last time of the consequences. Now you are committed for
ten days; and next time you come hero I will send you, in
default of bail, to prison for six. months.

Mexican throne, will continue to use the motto which his
arms now bear—" Equite dans la justice."

THE NEW COMET, discovered on the 28th of
December last, by Respighi, is said to be rapidly
approaching us, and will be at the point of least distance
(happily for us a trifle of some 18,000,000 of miles) about
the Ist of February. It is probably the comet which was
observed in 1310, and i►s period is therefore something over
53 years.
