TURIN, MARCH 10, Evening.
The debate in the Senate upon the bill for the
new loan was continued to-day.
Signor Scialoja and Revel spoke in favour of the
bill.

The Minister of Finance repeated his explanation
of the financial position of the country. In reply to
several speakers who had animadverted upon the
foreign policy of the Cabinet, the Minister refuted
the accusation that the Government wished to adopt
a reticent policy. The Ministry were desirous of
bringing back the Roman question in principle to
the programme adopted by Ccrunt Cavour and
sanctioned by the vote of Parliament. They had

The Federal Council has forwarded a note to the
foreign Powers announcing the conclusion of the

The Federal Council expresses a hope that the
Powers will approve the treaty, as they have them-
selves advised Switzerland to come to a direct un-

PRANCE.
PARIS, MARCH 10.
The Patric of this evening says :
"The debate in the Senate upon Polish affairs
will not take place until early next week."
This evening's Presse says:—
" Reports have been current upon the Bourse to-
day that the reply of the Czar to the last note of
France has arrived in Paris. It is said that the
Czar declares himself unable to make any concession
to the Polish nation until the insurrection is sub-
dued."

La France says:—
" A rumour is in circulation that England ad-
dressed a note upon the sth inst., referring to the
affairs of Poland, to those Powers who signed the
treaties of 1815."
The same paper says :

"It is asserted that Prussia has ordered a con-
siderable concentration of troops upon the frontiers
of Poland."

The Paris papers publish intelligence from Vera
Cruz to the 7th ult., stating that nothing of any
importance had transpired up to that date. It wah,
stated that M. de Saligny had assumed the direction
of political affairs in Mexico, in consequence of
orders received from Paris.

Le Conetitutionnel of this morning has a length-
ened article on the case of Sergeant Glover, in which
it entirely denies the truth of that gentleman's
statements, and hints that the desperate state of
his affairs induced him to bring forward his ima-
ginary claim as a speculation on the fear of scan-
dal. " Never,"

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—YoRK, March 9.
Mr. Baron Martin and Mr. Justice Keating arrived at
this city from Durham on Saturday, and opened the com-

mission.

Their Lordships yesterday attended Divine service at the
cathedral. This morning Mr. Baron Martin, after break-
fasting with the Lord Mayor, tried the city prisoners at the

Guildhall. At 12 o'clock their Lordships took their seats in

their respective courts at the Castle, Mr. Justice Keating
charging the Grand Jury and sitting on the Crown side.
The West Riding cause list contains an entry of 36 causes.
The East and North Riding list is not yet published. The
list is considered an exceedingly small one, the causes

mostly being of a trivial character.
The calendar contains the names of 106 prisoners and 2
for the city, and is very heavy. Two are charged with
murder, 12 with manslaughter, 6 with burglary, 3 with
rape, 6 with forgery, 13 with perjury, and the rest with
various offences.

- -
Mr. Baron Martin, in the Civil Court, disposed of several

undefended causes, and then tried prisoners.
His Lordship announced that, to suit the general con-
venience, the Court would not sit to-morrow, which will be

kept in this city as a day of rejoicing.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE,
A very small supply of English wheat was received
fresh up to this morning's market, in poor condition. The
attendance of buyers was limited, and both red and white
qualities sold heavily, at about Monday's currency.
The supply of foreign wheat was large. In all descrip-
tions sales progressed slowly on former terms.
Fluctuating cargoes of grain were in slow request, yet
no change took place in their value.
Witb barley the market was moderately supplied. Fine
malting parcels were tolerably firm ; but other kinds met
a dull inquiry at barely stationary prices.
About an average business was transacted in malt at late
rates.

S weet English and Scotch oats ruled firm as to price
but for other kinds the trade was heavy at previous cur.

rencies.

Beans were dull, at Monday's decline in prices; but
peas maintained their former value.
The dealings in most kinds of flour were extremely
moderate, at late quotations.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.22 k per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
178, iold. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
at about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 k per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.5 f per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English 31int price is, therefore, about
3-10 the per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 188 per cent., and the premium on
gold is 72 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on
the importation of gold from the United States.

THE THIRST FOR BLOOD.

The Republican Committee celebrated the 131st
anniversary of the birthday of George Washington
on the 21st ult. by a supper in the City Assembly
Rooms. The attendance was large, and the pro-
ceedings enthusiastic. The Won. Daniel S. Dicken-
son was the star of the evening, and, in speaking
to the toast of the " Empire State," delivered him-
self of a " war and no surrender" speech which,
according to New York journals, was tremendously
applauded. The following is the hon. gentleman's
peroration, which breathes the spirit of the whole
address. "It was the duty of the Empire State (he
said) to demand, in the name of Christianity and
civilisation, the putting down of this rebellion. It
was ber duty to mark every man for destruction
who undertook to stand between the putting down
of this rebellion and the American people. She
had a great and mighty mission to perform, and he
invoked her people of all parties, repudiating all
mere political ideas, to march forward in this great
and mighty world. He envoked woman at the do-
mestic alter to raise her effectual prayer to heaven
against the infernal monster. She who, like
Jephtha's daughter, could bare her bosom to the
sword for the good of her country ; mid he invoked
her sons to come forward, not only upon the battle-
field, but in every avenue of society, to put down
this rebellion, and save this Government, the last
great hope of man. Mighty God ! I say if this
Government must fail—if it must go down in blood
and tears—if the example of Washington and the
great spirits of the Revolution, and those who
founded this Government, must go down, let it go
down by blood ; but let not the Empire State con-
tribute its mighty influence; give us rather, Father
of Mercies, oceans of blood, rivers of tears, pesti-
lence, famine, a line of suffering and an ignoble
death, rattier than curse us and our memories for
ever for the idea that we contributed to uphold
this terrible rebellion. When this nation perishes,
Oli, may it perish by the force of a foreign foe—
but let it net fall a prey to the assassin's dagger at
home. No, it shall not be! The Empire State
shall stand in this great controversy—it shall come
forward with the influence of its sons and daughters,
of all ages, sexes, and conditions. to the rescue of our
land from the hand of the despoiler."

The Prussian Moniteur publishes a decision of
the Minister of War, ordering that the French diapason is
for the future to be adopted for all' the military bands in
Prussia.

TURTON T. TURTOX.

This was an action for goods sold and delivered.
Mr. Cave was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Merewether for
the defendant.

This case involved a disputed account, and, after a pro-
tracted investigation)
tiff of £6 56, the jury found a verdict for the plain-

'
Ztit,
London, England, 1863-03-11

prisoner.

It appeared that the prisoner was a bone and ivory carver
carrying on business in Sheffield, and that for some years he
had had various business transactions with one Geo. Croft,
manufacturer, of Eyre-street, Sheffield. On the 16th of
September last he presented a bill to be discounted to Mr.
John Wicks, purporting to be drawn on and accapted by
Mr. George Croft, of Eyre-street, Sheffield, for £23 2s. 6d.,
at four months, which Mr. Wicks discounted at the usual
rate. There had been business transactions between the
prisoner and Mr. George Croft for some years, Croft owing
him money, and paying by bill at four months, which was
continually renewed, and at this moment a bill of his ac-
ceptance was running on which he owed £4B to the prisoner.
He denied that the acceptance in question was his, or that
he had authorised it There were plenty of George Crofts
in Sheffield, and the acceptance, he said, was not at all like
his handwriting.
For the defence it was urged that, for anything that ap-
peared, the acceptance was no forgery, as it was not shown
that no other George Croft, of Sheffield, of whom it was in

evidence that there were several, had not accepted the bill.
It was also contended that the witness Croft's evidence was
not altogether satisfactory, and that it was not conclusively
established that he had not given authority for the accept-
ance.

His Lordship having summed up the evidence,
The jury, after some consultation, acquitted the prisoner.
He was immediately again put on his trial on a charge of
uttering a forged acceptance of Mr. John Harvey, of Lead
Mills, Sheffield, for £49 is. 6d., with intent to defraud
Charles Fisher, on the 10th of September last.
Mr. Maule again prosecuted, and Mr. Campbell Foster
defended the prisoner.
In this case, as in the last, the prisoner had gone to Mr.
Fisher, and had get the bill discounted, and while there on
a subsequent day Mr. Harvey called, and there was a dis-
cussion about the bill. On being asked by Mr. Harvey
whether he had ever accepted the bill, the prisoner answered,
~ No, he had not ; it is a forgery." Mr. Harvey took no
further steps in the matter. Subsequently the prisoner was
apprehended on this charge, and told the policeman that it
was no use denying it; he was guilty of the whole lot, and
supposed he should get three years for it,
It was attempted to be urged as a defence that Mr. Harvey's
conduct in the matter amounted to a ratification of the
prisoner's acceptance, as he had done nothing after he be-
came aware of it, and had taken no step against him.
I His Lordship having summed up the evidence,
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
Sentence was deferred.
His Lordship said, as it appeared to be the general wish,
the Court would be adjourned over to-morrow to Wednes-
day morning.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—NOTTINGILA.NI, March 9.

CROWN COHRT.
(Before the Chief Baron.)
Job Reddish, Elizabeth Nicklin, and John Hays were
indicted for unlawfully taking Susannah Moore, a girl
under the age of 16 years, out of the possession of her
mother, at Cuckney, on the 25th of January.
Mr. Bristow° appeared for the prosecution, and Mr
Bussard defended the prisoners live and Nicklin. The
prisoner Reddish was undefended.
It appeared from the evidence of the witnesses that the
prisoner Reddish had gone with the girl to a neighbouring
village, taking her clothes with her, and had there passed
the night with her, leaving her the next morning to return
home. The proseoutrix, a girl of 15, but apparently much
older, swore that the prisoner Reddish had proposed to her
to go away with him, and she had immediately consented
to do so. b e had never spoken to her before on the sub-
ject, and there had been no previous courtship between
them. She went on to depose that Nicklin had consented
tt oh
e receive
flight,
andher tclothes,ha that
Hays had helped her to carry the clothe*
for some distance in her flight, until he was relieved by
Reddish.

Mr. Buezard, for the defence, contended that the tees
statement was extremely improbable, and that the defen-
dants were only assisting her, as they supposed, in flying
from her mother, with whom she had frequent quarrels,
and obtaining a situation at a distance.
The jury found all the prisoners guilty, and sentence was
deferred.
Several other cases were disposed of; but they were all
of a trivial and uninteresting character.

NISI PRIUS COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Willes.)
The Court was occupied in the morning in trying throe
undefended causes.

TURTON V. TURTON.
This was an action for goods sold and delivered.
Mr. Cave was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Merewether for
the defendant.
This case involved a disputed account, and, after a pro-
tracted investigation, the jury found a verdict for the plain-
tiff of £6 59,

NEW ZEALAND GOLDFIELD.

The Dunedin Colonist of Nov. 17 states that,
though the rush from Melbourne has considerably
abated, there is still a steady influx of population.
At the port of Dunedin the excess of immigration
over emigration in the past month had been 1,684.
There had been a second arrival (per Sevilla) of
single women, who were likely to prove equally ac-
ceptable with the first, the batch per Grasmere.
Letters from the Dunstan goldfield say that at
Pleasant Creek rush a party of five washed out 170
oz. in three days, and another party 90 oz. in two
days. The depth of sinking is about six feet in the
bed of the creek, which has first to be diverted from
its course. Gold is found in patches in every direc-
tion. The gold commissioner, in his official report,
describes 800 to 1,000 miners as working with suc-
cess, many doing remarkably well, one party bring-
ing 102 oz. for their week's work. " Prospecting (he
writes) is proceeding vigorously in every direction,
and the samples of gold obtained are very different
both in quality and appearance, in some instances
being an almost impalpable dust, and in others con-
sisting of coarse pieces, weighing 3dw t. and 4d wt.
each. Those employed on Pleasant Creek, as one of
the new rushes is named, are for the most doing ex-
tremely well. The gold obtained there is of a rough
description, and appears to be of very pure quality."
A letter mentions that a party of four, about seven
miles above the Dunstan, obtain 180 ounces in three
and a half days' work. From Nakomai the C3M-
missioner reports concerning Victoria Gully :—" The
diggers now working seem to be generally satisfied,
and are making what they term wages, which I
should estimate at about £3 per week. There are,
however, individual instances of men doing much
better, and I know of persons who are earning as
much as £6 and £7 sterling during the same period.
The reef is a hard slate, on end, and nearly fiat, but
the greater portion of the gold is not always found
there; in fact, it seems to be more plentiful at one
particular level, which level is sometimes on the reef,
but more frequently in the wash dirt." The export
of gold from Dunedin during the month has been
39,523 ounces. The Colonist maintains that consider-
ing the area prospected, the"population engaged in
the work, and the amount of capital employed, the
Otagon fields have proved more productive in pro-
portion than any before discovered, and that the
average earnings of the miners exceeded per man the
average yielded in Victoria and New South Wales.
Goods sent to the Danatan have been costing the
enormous sum of £l2O per ton for carriage—a rate
so high that the merchants determined to send by
vessel to Waikonaiti, and trust to local arrange-
ments for transporting them thence to the gold-
fields; but the roads have improved, and the rate
demanded by carriers has become much more mode-
rate.

Second Edition, price 2s. 6d.,
CIUESUS, KING OF LYDIA.
By ALFRED B. RICHARDS.
F " Another Matthew Lock might modulate their (the Fates
chant in tones as erssive as those of the weird sisters in
•Macbeth,' and mores solemnly sublime." -The Morning
Post.
" • Macbeth' has many of these elements, especially as
added to by Dryden and Davenant. . . . The language
and construction well deserves a royal and magnificent set-
ting."—The Critic.
"Contains passages which are not to be surpassed by any-
thing in the language. The awful retribution that awaits
the neglect of poverty by wealth, and the extremes of luxury
and starvation, form the moral and portraiture of this wort,
which, in the present state of the manufacturing districts in
the north of England, the rich and the powerful would do
well to study and to lay to heart." - The Weekly Times.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-LAST EVENING.

The usual characteristics of an " off" day were exhibited
this afternoon in a thin attendance and a paucity of betting.
Lord Clifden was backed for £5O at 11 to 2, but the layer
refused to go on, and at the finish 5 to 1 was the highest
offer made against him. Saccharometer would have found
support, but the price was not deemed sufficient, but
10 to 1 would have met with a ready acceptance. 12 to 1
was the opening price of Hospodar, which did not ap-
pear to attract the attention of his friends, who stood out
for a point over those odds ; late in the afternoon his stable
companion, Jarnicoton, was introduced at 25 to 1, which
was offered frequently without meeting with a reply. 700
to 25 was taken once about National Guard, and 1,000 to 15
each against Baldwin and Cairncastle. Golden Pledge and
Queen Bertha were each backed at 1,000 to 10. 7to 1 was
laid against Hospodar and Jarnicoton, coupled, and 225 to
100 against Lord Clifden, Saccharometer, and Hospodar.

WESTMINSTER.

EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION.—A very creditable-
looking woman, about 30 years of age, entreated the magis-
trate to give her assistance under very painful circumstances.
Mr. Arnold enquired what they were.
The poor woman replied that they arose out of her neces-
sities during her stay in the workhouse.
Mr. Arnold asked what parish. _ _

The poor woman replied, St. Margaret's and St. John's,
Westminster, and proceeded to state that, being in great
poverty three weeks ago, she was obliged to get into the
workhouse with her three children, the consequences of
which was the death of one of them.
Mr. Arnold—Under what circumstances ?

Poor Woman—My children were at the ages of twelve-
months, five years, and tan years, and they were taken into
the workhouse at the same time as myself. On Wednes-
day I discharped myself from the workhouse, and my
child twelvemonths old died.
Mr. Arnold—When did the child die?

Poor Woman—At 12 o'clock on Wednesday night. I
had discharged myself from the workhouse in consequence
of discovering the wretched condition of my poor child,
which had been kept away from me. They had never told
me that anything was the matter with it, but it was in a
shocking condition. It was a fine healthy child as any one
would wish to see when it went there, and now it is de-
plorable to look at it.
Mr. Arnold—What do you think was the matter with it ?
Poor Woman—Starvation, and I cannot tell what has
been done to its body.
Mr. Arnold—lf you have any reason to think that this
child died from improper treatment, you must bring it
under the notice of the coroner.

Mr. Arnold to'd the police to see that every assistance
was afforded the poor woman in obtaining a full inquiry,
