THE KINGSWOOD MURDER.

The German, Edward Schmidt, who stands
charged upon his own confession, with the murder
of Mrs. Halliday, at the Kingswood Rectory, in
July, 1861, was yesterday brought before a bench
of magistrates at Reigate fur further examination
upon that charge. The inquiry created very great
interest, and the Town-hall was crowded during
the proceedings.
It will be remembered that the prisoner gave
himself into custody at Hull, and admitted that he
was with the man Franiz, who was tried at Croy-
don for the murder at the Summer Assizes of 1861,
and acquitted, and that he was the man who com-
mitted the offence ; and upon this statement he
was brought to Reigate to undergo examination,
and was remanded until yesterday, in order to afford
an opportunity for the production of the necessary
evidence.

Inspector Coward, of the Surrey constabulary,
who was engaged in the original inquiry, nova'
informed the bench that since the prisoner had
been under remand in Horsemonger-lane gaol he
had taken two of the witnesses in the ease to
see him, and they both stated, that he was not
the man who was in company with Frantz in
the neighbourhood of Kingswood at the time the
murder was committed ; and Madame Tietjens,
who, it will be remembered, was also examined as
a witness at the former trial, and who was also
taken to see him, expressed the same opinion.
In the course of the proceedings Mr. Pollaky in-
formed the magistrates, in answer to an inquiry
made by the Chairman, that he had come down to
see the prisoner from a belief that he was one of
the men who was supposed to have been concerned
in the murder of a French judge in a railway car-
riage between Paris and Lyons, three or four years
ago, and when, it will be remembered the deceased
was at the same time robbed of 40,000 f. ; and he
produced a photograph of this individual that had,
been sent to him by the French police, but be said
it did not at all resemble the prisoner, and he did
not believe he had anything to do with that affair.
Ttie prisoner, who, it will be recollected, at tr.°
former examination denlared that he was not in any
way concerned in the murder, and that the state-
ment he had made at Hull was false, now repeated
the same defence, and declared that he was entirely
innocent of the alleged offence.
The magistrates told him he had no one to thank
but himself for the trouble he had got into; but, se
there was no evidence to support the accusation, be
would now be set at liberty.

The prisoner, who is a miserable-looking may,
was then discharged, and a small subscription was
made for him by the persons present for his imme-
diate necessities, and to enable him to reach London,
where he said he wished to go.

GREAT EASTERN.

Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of the proprie-
tors was held at the London Tavern; Mr. Horatio
Love in the chair. The report having been taken
as read,

The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption.
Mr. Sergeant GASELEE moved as an amendment
to certain propositions of the directors, that the
company requires rest ; that no extension, leases,
or agreements be undertaken in the present state
of the company and the smallness of the dividends,
unless previously agreed to at a meeting of the
shareholders, specially convened after a month's
previous notice.
The CHAIRMAN put the question, " That the re-
port be received and adopted," and said that if the
amendment was carried by the meeting the direc-
tors would observe its obligations.
The report was then adopted by a show of hands;
as was the amendment) whereupon Mr. Bidder
demanded a poll.

A scene of great confusion ensued, and ultimately
the meeting was adjourned till Tuesday.

THE TEA DUTIES.—A highly influential meet-
ing of merchants and others interested in the tea-
trade was held yesterday at Mincing-lane ; Mr. Gregson,
ALP., in the chair. The meeting was also attended by
Mr. Baring, M.P., Mr. Crawford, M.P., and other gentle-
men of distinction both in the City and in the House of
Commons. The object of the meeting was to urge upon
the Government the reduction of the present duty of Is. 6d.
per lb on tea to Is. Resolutions with that view were
unanimously agreed 10, and a memorial to the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, founded on them, was adopted.

itled to some more definite answer from her Majesty's
Government.

Mr. WYLD held it to be the duty of every free citizen of
a frree state to protest against the atrocities comuiitted by
the Russian Government.

Mr.IIENNESSY thought he should onlybe acting in ac-
cordance with the general wish if, after the debate which
had taken place, he withdrew his motion. (Cheers.) He did
so, however, with the object of enabling any other gentle-
man to bring forward the same or a similar motion on a
future occasion if necessary.
The motion was then by consent withdrawn.
THE lONIAN ISLES.

Lord W. GRAHAM called the attention of the Secretary
of State for War to the increased expenditure on the lonian
Isles, as proposed in the army estimates of this year (being
£189,000 as against £158,000 last year), and asked the reason
thereof. He also referred to the cession of these islands to
Greece, and asked for information relating thereto.
Sir G. C. LEWIS replied that the expenses for last year
were not based upon precise data, and in that way the esti-
mates fell short of the actual expenditure. However, the
estimates for the coming year had been rectified by the in-
formation which had been received from the controller-
general of military accounts. No alteration had been made
in the number of the battalions stationed in the islands, and
the expense that might be incurred in the present would be
the same as last year.
Col, DUNNE asked what was going to be done with the

Islands ? Unless it was desired to aid Greece in a policy of
aggression upon Turkey, Corfu ought not to be ceded to
Greece, with the fortifications now existing upon the island
Had the Government entered into any negotiations with the
other powers to the treaty respecting the cession of the
islands to Greece.

Sir G. C. LEWIS—Her Majesty's Government have not
entered into any negotiations on the subject with the other
Powers.

Sir G. BOWYER expressed astonishment at the state
ment of the right hon. gentleman.

Lord PALMERSTON—My right hon. friend has stated
that we have had no communication with any of the powers,
because the case anticipated in the speech from the throne
has not yet occurred. (Hear, hear.)
Mr, ROE BUCK—I must state that I am rather sur-
prised at the noble lord's answer; for, happening to be in
Vienna at the time the question arose, I made inquiries of
the Austrian Government, and they told me distinctly
that the noble lord's Government had communicated with
them, and one of the Austrian Ministers read the reply
which he sent to the noble lord. (Loud cries of " Hear,
hear, and laughter.) I saw the reply ; it was exceedingly
well reasoned; and I should like to see it upon the table.
(Cheers.)
Lord PALMER STON—The hon, member saw a despatch
which was read to my noble friend, but not given to him
(Laughter.)

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 28, 1863.

authority in the land has had to interpose and pre-
vent a consummation which would have made what
was intended for a day of rejoicing a day of mur-
muring and discontent. The idea of putting the
Prince and Princess in the front of the procession
would have been a signal failure and a complete
disappointment. It would not been treating the
august personages themselves with proper respect,
and as for the rest of the pageant it would have
fallen very flat indeed. The unfortunate individuals
would have recalled to mind these lines on the sub-
ject :
"As when a well-graced actor leaves the stage,
The eye is idly bent on him who enters next."

Nothing could have been more deplorable in its way
than a feeling of dissatisfaction in the minds of
those who flocked by thousands to pay their homage
to the Prince and Princess. This satis-
factory solution has not been come to without a
struggle, since so late as yesterday morning 1.4..)rd
PALMERSTON seemed disinclined to entertain any
notions to the contrary of the original plan as at
first proposed. Subsequently, however, when other
influence had been brought to bear upon the
arrangements, a notification was sent to the Lord
Mayor, stating that the obnoxious resolution
that had been come to would not be
persevered in, but that the original plan
that the Prince of WALES and his bride
should be met upon London-bridge and es-
corted through the City should be carried out.
This announcement was received with loud cheers,
and now it is to be hoped that from this time
forth more sense, more consideration, and more
sympathy will pervade those who are entrusted
with the high responsibility of administering be-
tween the SOVEREIGN and the people. We cannot
forget that not to them appertains the credit, though
they will doubtless appropriate it, if the affair should
be a success. The public in general will give their
thanks where they are due, and their lively sense of
gratitude will make them still more regret the dark
shadow of the past which still hangs over the pre-
sent and withholds from taking an active part in
these solemn rites, one who is in every way fitted
for the task, from native grace of character and a
just sense of what is right and fitting between a
Sovereign and her subjects.

The Expected Attack on Charleston.

A letter dated Baltimore, Feb. 13, says—Charle-
ston has not yet been attacked. A night recon-
naissance appears to have been made on the Bth
inst. of the works defending it, and a letter of the
following day announces that it cannot be taken
with a naval force of less than six or eight Moni-
asthagtonpelactoe

reached
previously, has proved herself capable of outriding
an ocean storm. The armour-plated rams of the
South require close watching for the protection of
the wooden blockaders, and the new " Monitors"
are being absorbed as fast as they arrive for that
purpose. The movement on Charleston is appa-
rently deferred, partly on accountof the insufficiency
of the available force of iron-plated vessels, and
partly, it may be presumed, on account of some
bickerings between General Hunter and General
Foster. In the meantime rumour says that the
blow intended for Charleston may be delivered in
the first instance upon Savannah. For M'Alister,
on one of the approaches to that city, has been at-
tacked a second time by the Monitor Montauk, at
the cost to that ship of the starting of a few bolts,
and of some derangement in the working of her
turret. The escape of the blockaders from the
South Carolinian rams arose, it appears, from their
position, and only escaped destruction by having
retreated out of range. Washington letters allege
that Mi. Seward confesses in a despatch that the
blockade of Galveston "may have been interrupted,"
but that it " was resumed immediately, and will be
continued until further notice." This if true,
amounts to a notice of a new blockade of that port,
and may in that sense be held to exempt vessels
now caught in the attempt
.to run into Galveston
from condemnation.

THE BRAZILIAN DIFFICULTY.----It transpired
yesterday that the Foreign-office has fixed the
amount it claims from the L•razilian Government, on ac-
count of the wreck the of the barque Prince of Wales at
£3,200. The amount for which reprisals were made at Rio
de Janeiro was, it is stated in the correspondence laid be-
fore Parliament, £6,525 19s. There is consequently a re-
duction of one half the amount for which payment was re-
quired by the Dritieh ultimatum.

LONDON, SATURDAY, FEB. 28, 1863.

In the House of Lords yesterday the Earl of
ELLENBOIZOLIGH referred to the speech said to have
been made by the Prussian Prime Minister, in
which he denied the accuracy of Earl Russell's
account of the convention made in consequence of
the noble earl's communications with the Russian
and Prussian Ambassadors. He (Lord Ellenbo-
rough) fully credited the statement of the noble
earl, and thought the matter might safely be left in
the hands of the Government, who would not hesi-
tate, he hoped, to rely upon the support of Parlia-
ment whatever complications might arise in this
affair.

Earl RUSSELL said that he had carefully reported
the result of the conversation referred to. The
Russian Ambassador had said he had no objection
to giving the nature of the terms of the convention.
He had since learned that there was another article
respecting the instructions to be given to the
troops before they crossed the frontier, but it was
not clear from whom they were to receive instruc-
tions.

On the motion of Earl GRANVILLE, seconded by
the Earl of DERBY, the Prince and Princess of
Wales Annuities Bill was read a second time.
Earl STANHOPE moved for copy of the memorial
presented on the 12th of February to the Duke of
Newcastle by a deputation from Western Australia,
praying for a more extended system of transporta-
tion to that colony, and also for a copy of any
answer to the same.

The Duke of NEWCASTLE said it would be unbe-
coming on his part to prejudge a question on which
a Royal Commission was sitting. There would be
to objection to the production of the memorial; his
reply had been verbal, but was to the effect that
her Majesty's Government were anxious to do all
they
Could to improve the system, though they could
not pledge themselves until they received the report
of the Commission.
The Gardens in Towns Protection Bill passed
through committee.
The English en„di
Services in Wales Bill was
read a third time and passed.
After some discussion respecting the Durham
University Commission, their lordships adjourned.
In the House of Commons,
lklr. FOSTER having put some questions respect-
ing the commercial treaty between France
and
Mr. LAYAIiD said that the treaty was not yet
ratified by the Italian Parliament, but that as soon
as it was it would be officially communicated to her
Majesty's Government, who would lay it before the
various Chambers of Commerce. The substance of
the treaty was already in their possession.

In answer to Sir it. CLIFTON,
Sir G. GREY explained the communications
which had taken place with respect to the entry
of the Princess Alexandra. The final arrangement
was that the High Bailiff and authorities of South-
wark should receive the Princess at the BricklayeCti
Arms station; that the Lord Mayor and Corpora-
tion, who would also be present, should head the
precession from London-bridge to Temple-bar,

DEACONESS LIFE IN GERMANY.—I have been
for some years past interested in the a ork of the Sisters
of Charity, in connection with the Church of Rome,
and admired their zeal and activity, their devotion to
the poor and sick, their unflagging patience, and
self•der:ying exertions under all circumstances. I could
not but regret that so much that was really good and use-
ful had died out of the churches calling themselves
Reformed. But I was at that time ignorant of
the order of Deaconessess, now so widely diffused through
Germany, and indeed through almost every country of the
Continent. These Deaconesses consider that they belong to
fhe primitive arrangements of the early church, and date
their commencement from the apostolic age. Very soon,
however, the state of war and disturbance in the Western
Empire prevented women from exercising any duty even, of
charity, without the protection of closed doors and walls; so
the Desconesses became cloistered sisters, and their distinc-
tive characteristics were lost. An attempt was made at the,
Reformation to revive the order of Deaconesses; but again
the wars in Germany, and the lawless state of society, made
it impossible. It was only thirty years ago that Professor
Fliedner drew together at Kai.erwerth a few women for
charitable works; and from this small beginning revived
this most useful order, which from such an insignificant
commencement has now spread itself all over Europe,—

Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of the proprie-
tors was hald at the London Tavern ; Mr. Horatio
Love in the chair. The report having been taken
as read,

The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption.
Mr. Sergeant GASELEE moved
as
sthat the
an amendment
to certain propositions of the bneo directors,
extension, leases,
company requires rest ;
or agreements be undertaken
ken in the present state
of the company and the smallness of the dividends,
unless previously agreed to at a meeting of the
shareholders, specially convened after a month's
previous notice.
The CHAIRMAN put the question, "That the re-
port be received and adopted," and said that if the
amendment was carried by the meeting the direc-
tors would observe its obligations.
The report was then adopted by a show of hands,
as was the amendment, whereupon Mr. Bidder
demanded a poll.
A scene of great confusion ensued, and ultimately
the meeting was adjourned till Tuesday.

'TIE TEA DUTIES.—A highly influential meet-
ing of merchants and others interested in the tea-
trade was held yesterday at Mincing-lane; Mr. Gregson,
m.p., in the chair. The meeting was also attended by
Mr. Baring, M.P., Mr. Crawford, M.P., and other gentle-
men of distinction both in the City and in the House of
Commons. The object of the meeting was to urge upon
the Government the reduction of the present duty of Is. sd.
per lb on tea to Is. Resolutions with that view were
unanimously agreed 10, and a memorial to the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, founded on them, was adopted.

TEETH.-By MR. ESKELL'S INVENTION
(Royal Seal granted 17th July, 1860), Sets or partial
fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled. to nature, are made and
imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad-
heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensint,r with springs or
unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by tee closest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention
is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to
any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they
act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed U. last a life
time, as well as for mastication and articulation. Mr.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAM.)

ITALY.

TURIN, Feb. 27.
The Chamber of Deputies continued the debate
upon the proposed loan to-day.
The Minister of the Interior announced that he
would shortly bring in several bills relating to
home administration. He pointed out the necessity
of first satisfying the home interests of the country
before endeavouring to fulfil its desires for national
unity. He declared that Turin must continue to
be regarded as the capital of Italy until Rome could
be obtained.

A detachment of 16 soldiers has been trarrounded
and defeated by a band of 60 brigands near Bens-

vento.
General La Marmora has left for that place.

GREECE.

ATHENS, FEB. 27.

Rumours prevailing that France supports the
claims of the Bavarian dynasty to the throne of
Greece, the National Assembly has renewed its de-
claration that this dynasty has been deposed by the
will of the nation,

SPAIN.
MADRID, FEB. 27 (Evening).

Marshal Narvaez has lost ground. Public
opinion is not favourable to a Cabinet formed
under his presidency.
MM. Mon, Mayans, and General Concha have
been summoned to the Palace.
Nothing, however, is yet decided upon.
Tranquillity prevails.
