NORFOLK AND THE PRINCE OF WALES

NORWICH, JAN. 8.

The magistrates sitting in quarter session here
to-day resolved themselves into a public meeting,
for the purpose of adopting a resolution welcoming
the Prince of Wales to Norfolk.

The HIGH SHERIFF (Mr. R. S. H. Harvey) said
it was fortunate that we lived in a country in which
there was but one common feeling of loyalty to the
Throne and devotion and attachment to the person
of the Sovereign. The Emperor of the French was
obliged to keep up an army for the purpose of keep-
ing his people in subjection, although elected by
that people ; the King of Prussia was in direct op-
position to the constitution which he had sworn to
uphold ; the Emperor of Russia, in liberating the
serfs, was in direct oppo•ition to the nobles of his
court, and in Asia the Emperor of China had a re-
bellion on his hands, while in England there was
but one feeling of attachment to the Sovereign who
reigned over us. The Prince of Wales had been
brought up with the greatest care, and not satisfied
with giving him the best possible education, his
gracious mother and his inestimable father hat sent
him abroad to learn the manners and customs of
other countries, and to verify his studies by a per-
sonal examination of the memorials of olden times.
The Prince of Wales was evidently desirous of doing
his duty in the same exemplary manner in which
his gracious mother had dune hers, and he (the
High Sheriff) felt that he was expressing the sen-
timents of every class in Norfolk and of the com-
munity at large in moving the following resolution ;
" To His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.

" Sir,—We, the magistrates of the county of Norfolk,
assembled in the Shire Hall at Norwich, on the occasion of
our quarter session, this Bth day of January, 18A, venture
to approach your Royal Highness with the expression of the
sincere and heartfelt gratification which we have experi-
enced at your Royal Highness having come to reside in our
county, and on our having the prospect of such visits on the
part of your Royal Highness being frequently repeated.
This feeling we know to be shared by all classes of the in-
habitants of this county, and we venture further to assure
your Royal Highness that the county of Norfolk yields to
none in devotion and loyalty to her Majesty, and in affec-
tionate respect to your Royal Highness and to all the mem-
bers of her Majesty's Royal family,"
Lord SONDES seconded the resolution, which was
agreed to unanimously, and ordered, on being signed
by the High Sheriff, t) be forwarded to General
Knollys for presentation to the Prince.

MARK LANE.

Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng-
lish wheat were small, the condition, however, was bad.
The few dry samples on offer changed hands at the extreme
rates of Monday last : damp qualities moved off slowly,
but at full prices.

With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. For
most descriptions there was a fair consumptive inquiry, and
the quotations were well supported ; indeed, in some in-
stances, the tendency was against buyers.
Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, at fully
previous rates.
Malting barley ruled firm, at extreme currencies. Grind-
ing and distilling sorts were steady as to price, although in
slow demand.

A fair average business was transacted in malt, at late
quotations.
Oats—with which the market was very moderately sup-
plied—ruled firm, at an advance, compared with Friday
last, of 6d per quarter.
Beans and peas moved off slowly, and in some instances
prices were rather drooping.
_ _ _

Barrel flour was in fair demand, at late rates. Other
kinds ruled steady, on former terms.

BOROUGH HOP.

Good and fine hops moved off freely, at extreme rates ; and
although the demand for inferior produce is by no means
active, its value is fairly supported. Foreign hops—both
Continental and American—continue to arrive freely, and
are fetching good prices.

THE LATE FATHER LACORDAIRE.

The Abbe Henri Perreyve, honorary canon of
the Cathedral of Orleans, and Professor of Ecclesi-
astical History at the Sorb ,nne, has just published
in a volume of nearly 400 pages a collection of let-
ters by the late Father Lacordaire. These letters
were addressed in the intimate intercourse of
friendship chiefly to young friends or pupils of the
College of Sorreze, asking for his advice or seeking
his approval of their plans and •onduct. Embracing
a variety of topics, they are written in a simple
style and on the spur of the moment. It may be
interesting to know the great Dominican's opinions
on Italy. He writes from Sorreze in November,
1859, to a friend in Paris :

"In the questions raised a year ago I have had for my
guide a double love—love for the Papacy and love for Italy ;
anti I never have found it difficult to reconcile both causes.
It has always appeared to me most just that Italy should
recover her independence of her foreign oppressors ; and
equally just that she should obtain a system of Government
mor liberal than that to which Austrian domination had
condemned her. But, on the other hand, I deem it equally
just and desirable that the Papacy should preserve its tem-
poral domains. In my judgment these two causes have
been separated by misunderstanding and accident, and I
have ever trusted to Providence for the triumph of the one
and the other. Was such the intention of the French
Government ? I thought so ; yet I would not vouch
for the fact. Were it not its intention, I still
put my trust in a power far greater than it to baffle its po-
licy. But whatever be the issue, fortunate or otherwise, I
remain firm to my convictions—independence of Italy and
maintenance of the temporal domains of the Pope. Man
cannot command events, but he can always cherish his
principles in his heart. If Italy break for ever the yoke of
Austria—if she obtain a Government conformable to her
legitimate desires—and if, at the same time, Rome be saved,
I shall be thankful to the Almighty. If, on the con-
trary, the one or the other of these causes perish through
the fault of men, I shall regret and deplore it, but I shall be
in no way accountable for it, because I shall have done
within the limit of my means all that I could do in the
cause of justice and of truth. True, there are in Italy
demagogues and absolutists; but between these two
parties, as in France, there is a great number of honourable
and Christian men who desire the good of the Church and
of Italy—men who do not believe them to be incompatible,
and who labour for both. It is to these men that the future
belongs, whatever be the momentary deceptions of which
they may be victims, from the extravagance of democracy
or the extravagance of absolutism."

THE SUN, LONDON., FRIDAY EVENINO, JANUARY 9, 1863

This is a faithful exposition of the views of the
great body of the people of thiscountry, country, and it is
the vital principle which animates and informs the
great institutions of England which so redound to
the credit of Englishmen, and whose existence is
often a wonder to the strangers and foreigners who
seek our shores. Some years ago at a public dinner
tor some oharity, M. OtrIZoT emphatically remarked
that nothing in the details of the doings of the
society referred to so much astonished him as the
superscription on its portals, which was similar to
that inscribed on its fellow institutions, " Supported
by voluntary contributious." This most distin-
guished man aptly represented a difficulty that
had occurred to many humbler members of:
his country, but which rightly understood
is the typical illustration of our national character,
the love of independence and the spirit of freedom.
Mr. CARDWELL'S speech was well worthy of the
occasion, and he rendered what might have been
dull details interesting and instructive, by his quo-
tations and application of suitable anecdotes.
Small as the theme might be in individual magni-
tude it was not trifling in its union with similar
societies, while the importance of the principle that
actuated it cannot be too highly estimated. No-
thing that affects the welfaie and happiness of the
working classes can be too strongly taken up, and
nothing creates more distress And disaster than the
evils which follow on their suffering. To encourage
and foster such institutions as this referred to be.
comes of paramount importance, and redounds to
the credit of all who come forward as their expo-
nents and advocates.

nothing but to obey the word of command con-
tinually whispered from the Cabinet of Berlin.

Besides various affairs more particularly respect-
ing Holstein in the departments of the Ministers of
Justice, of Religion, and of the Interior, several
measures will be submitted to the States concerning
the whole monarchy, some of which have already
been discussed in the debates of the Rigsraad. The
Budget of the Monarchy, which has already been
voted by the Rigsraad for the kingdom and for
Schleswig, will also be submitted to the States.
There will consequently be no pretext of which the
Confederation can avail itself. In case the decision
of the States of Holstein coincides with that
of the Dano-Schleswig Rigsraad, there will be a
possibility of establishing a common law for the
whole monarchy. On the other hand, if this unity
is not accomplished, it will have to be considered
whether, under the circumstances, it would not be
advisable to cancel the affair in question, the union
of the Danish provinces of the kingdom with the
German provinces, in order that the States of Hol
stein need only occupy themselves with the questions
which concern Holstein, while the Dano-Schleswig
Rigsraad decides the affairs of the kingdom and of
Schleswig.

THE KING'S REPLY TO THE ADDRESS
OF THE MUNICIPALITY.

BERLIN, JAN. 9, Morning.

The King, in his reply to the New Year's Ad-
dress of the Municipality and the Municipal Coun-

cil, said :

" The present position of affairs in Prussia,
which has been styled a conflict, has arisen from the
confusion prevailing in the public mind.

"I intend to maintain and protect the Constitu-
tion. lam compelled to carry out by every means
within the limits of the Constitution that which I
consider essential to the welfare of the country,

cially of Municipal Councils, to propagate sound
views among the people."

RUSSIA.
ST. PETERSBURG, JAN. 9.

The commission appointed by Government to
inquire into the reform of taxation has proposed
that the duty upon the importation of raw sugar
should be reduced. It is intended that the re-
duction shall commence with 1864 and proceed
gradually by a fourth of a rouble annually upon
each pood (a Russian weight of about 40 pounds)
until 1870, at which period the duty upon sugar
imported by land and sea shall be equalised to 1/
rouble.

SPAIN.
MADRID, JAN. 8.
In to-day's sitting of the Congress Senor Mon
continued his speech on Mexican affairs. He again
maintained that Senor Calderon Collantes was
aware of the candidature of the Archduke Maxi-
milian and the despatch of French reinforcements
to Mexico.

He said also that General Prim ought to have
respected the existing
treaty, and not have re-
embarked his troops.

Senor Mon accused England of making use of
Spain to improve her relation with Mexico, and
regretted that the Spanish troops had not gone to
Mexico with the French, as Spain would then have

_
gained in consideration.
Senor Calderon Collantes said, in reply to Senor
Mon, that the general teuour of the instructions
which he sent to General Prim was, that he should
act in the manner that would best maintain Spanish
interests.

The amendment proposed by Senor Mon was
then put to the vote and rejected by a majority of
78, the numbers being 72 for and 158 against the
amendment.

SCHLESWIG.HOLSTEIN.

The Dagbladet f9t January 6th gives the follow-
ing summary of public feeling in Copenhagen :
The States of Holstein have just been convoked by
a Royal decree, bearing date December 29th, in
accordance with which they will meet at Itzehoe
on the 24th. It is nearly two years since the last
session, and the stormy state of affairs at the pre-
sent moment makes the public watch with some
eagerness for the debates of this new session.

It has been rumoured in various quarters that
the Government intended to submit to the States
the plan of a new Constitution for the whole
Nlonarchy,or rather certain modifications, to adapt
it to all pits of the Monarchy, as was the case pre-
vious to November, 18.58, w hen it closed by order of
the Confederation, to be in force for Holstein and
I Lauenburg. We think ourselves in a position to
state that the Government entertains no such pro-
ject. When the States of Holstein met in March,
1861, the outline of such a new constitution was
presented to them. The States refused then to open
the debates on the subject, apd even rejected the
liberal offers of the Government with regard to the
plrtieular constitution of Holstein. Considering
this experience, and the obedience of the States to
the instigations of the German Powers, it would
certainly be surprising if the Government renewed
such propositions. The States have declared in suffi-
ciently plain terms that they would agree to no new
arrangement of the monarchy that did not offer them
absolutism, or the creation of a separate State of
Schleswig-Holstein, conditions which are equally
impossible for any Danish Government to agree to.
So long as Prussia refuses to encourage an agree-
ment, it would be perfectly useless to open Dego'

SINGULAR CASE OF BREACH OF PROMISE OF

York Castle, on Wednesday, before W. Gray, Esq., un•

in the case of "Townhend v. Smith." it seems that the
defendant was a farmer at a place called Goole Grange
Farm, near Howdem, and the plaintiff, Harriett Townhend,
lived with him until January, 1862, in the capacity of
housekeeper. During the time that she was there the de •
fondant made overtures to her, and promised her marriage,
and ultimately the usual arrangements were proceeded with,
and cards of invitation for a dinner party consequent on the
proposed wedding were issued. Two or three days, however,
before the latter event was fixed to take place, the defendant
was taken suddenly ill, and the ceremony was postponed,
and, up to the present time, he had neglected to perform his
ago the plaintiff promise. It was shown that the defendant was worth

TEA.—There has been a moderate amount of business
transacted, and prices generally have been well sustained.
SUGAL—The market has been moderately active, and
good and fine qualities have realized fully late rates. In
the refined market there is little change of importance to
record as regards values.

CorrEE.LThe demand has been more active, and good
and fine qualities of Plantation and Native Ceylon have
been at enhanced rates. Other descriptions were without
change in price.

RICE.—A fair amount of business has been entered into,
and late quotations are current for good and fine descrip-
tions.

SALTPETRE.—Business has been dull at about previous
rates.

fALLow.—The market has continued dull, and prices
have shown a downward movement, P.Y.C. on the spot
being quoted 43s 6d, and for March delivery, 43s 9d to 44s

MARK LANE.

Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng-
lish wheat were small, the condition, however, was bad.
The few dry samples on offer changed hands at the extreme
rates of Monday last : damp qualities moved off slowly,
but at full prices.
With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. For
most descriptions there was a fair consumptive inquiry, and
the quotations were well supported ; indeed, in some in-
stances, the tendency was against buyers.
Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, at fully
previous rates.

Malting barley ruled firm, at extreme currencies. Grind-
ing and distilling sorts were steady as to price, although in
slow demand.

A fair average business was transacted in malt, at late
quotations.
Oats—with which the market was very moderately sup-
plied—ruled firm, at an advance, compared with Friday
last, of 6d per quarter.
Beans and peas moved off slowly, and in some instances
prices were rather drooping.
Barrel flour was in fair demand, at late rates. Other
kinds ruled steady, on former terms.

propriety of certain
observations published by M. Pasteur. The letter
admits that M. Bechamp has shown pure water to
exercise no power of inversion over cane-sugar ex-
cept when the surface has become mouldy ; also
that creosote prevents the development of mould,
and tbat the same effect is produced when sugar
and water is boiled in contact with
air which
has passed through sulphuric acid. But these
facts, M. Pasteur contends, have nothing to do with
his own experiments; nor do they, in his opinion,
add anything either to the theory of fermentation,
or to that of spontaneous generation.—M. Pierre
communicated some curious facts on the yield of corn,
One decilitre of corn uses for sowing contains
1,773 grains ; so that 40 litres, sown on 17 ares (the
ore is one-40th of an English acre) contained
623,300 grains, allowing on an average 40,800 grains
to each are, which in return yielded only 14,600
stalks ; so that about 64 per cent. of the grain sown
produced nothing, either because of its rotting in
the son, or by its being eaten by the birds. There
being usually 6.35 per cent. of bad grain in a
oven quantity, this if deducted from 61 per cent.,
will still leave 97.65 per cent. of clear loss.—A
paper was received from Dr. Cadiot, on the sub-
ject of marriages between relations. He states that
out of 54 marriages within the third and fourth
degrees of consanguinity, 14 were barren, '7 pro-
duced children which all died before arriving at an
adult age, and 18 produced scrofulous, ricketty, con-
sumptive, deaf and dumb, or idiotic children. There
remain, therefore, 15 families whose issue for the
present is healthy, though there is no answering
for the future. M. F. i omas sent in a description
of a method of his for analyzing alloy of silver and
lead. He proposes to treat the chloride with a so-
lution of ammonia, which will dissolve the chloride
of silver, whereby the nature and quantity of the
chloride of lead may then be easily determined.
