GERMANY.

An ex-lieutenant of artillery named 17sener, who
played a part in the affair of Kossuth's rockets at Lon-
don, was arrested at Coblentz on the 24th. He had a
false passport, and came from Switzerland. He alleged
that his intention was to go to Turkey, via Marseilles.
Intelligence of the arrest was immediately sent off by
telegraph to Berlin. He took part in the insurrections
of Schleswig-Holstein and Hungary.
The Augsburgh, Gazette contains a letter from Vienna
of the 21st, which states that some political arrests have
lately taken place in Austria. Amongst the persons
taken into custody are the sons of several persons in
high station, and amongst others the son of M. S-i,
member of the Council of the Empire, and the drawer.
up of the programme of the Dec. 31, 1851; the two sons
of M. Trombetta, and those of some high Italian
families.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.-LEICESTER, JULY 25.
LA MEET V. DAWSON AND ANOTHER.

This was an action for libel.
Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., Mr. Mellor, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant
Miller, and Mr. Hayes were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Field
and Mr. Brewer were for the defence.
The action arose out of the following circumstances :
The plaintiff was educated for the surgical profession,
but has never taken out his diploma, contenting himself
years back with purchasing the business of a chemist in
the eastern part of London, where he obtained consider-
able practice in the treatment of those diseases popularly
known as "secret." He subsequently removed to Albe-
marle-street, Piccadilly, where, under the name of Curtis,
he continued to be very generally consulted, he having
extensively advertised himself and his works under the
name of Curtis, particularly a work called " Manhood."
The defendant, Mr. Dawson, is a regularly admitted
surgeon practising in London, and is the author of a
scientific work on a particular class of complaints, and
in that book was contained the alleged libel, which was
to the effect that he (Mr. Dawson) had been repeatedly
consulted by patients who complained of having paid
the advertising quack large sums of money, and that he
had at the time of publication a gentleman under his
care, who had been sent to him by a medical man in
London, and who " was proceeding against Curtis
(meaning the plaintiff), the author of I` Manhood,' for
a similar fraud." The article then went on to charge the
obtaining money by means of fraudulent representations
as to curing the parties.
The plea of justification was put upon the record.
The i ury found a verdict for the plaintiff, with a
farthing
(Limages, thus negativing the pleas, and leaving
each party pay their own costs.

STRUCTION OZ A SHIP AT SEA BY FIRE.

of the
lvitPoot, Monday.— The ship Ebenezer, which ar-
lived here this morning, has brought intelligence
inst.
`°tka destruction b fire of the ship I. Z. on the 7th
York,
in lat. 42, long. 62y. The I. Z. sailed from New
for this
Port, on the 2d inst., under the command _
:,!:7‘,14 Spencer, with 20 hands on board, including the
4.-i:t'"'"o, all of whom were taken off and landed here by
built
the Ebenezer, from New York. She was an American-
ship, belonging to Messrs. Zeraga, of New York,
registered. 756 tons, and her cargo consisted principally
of turpentine, flour, and cotton.
Captain Burstow, of the ship Robert Kelly, from
Neve York, which arrived here this morning, and who
witnessed the fire in the vessel, gave the following
report to the underwriters' room :—" On Thursday,
July 7, in lat. 41, long. 60, at 3 30 p.m., I observed
smoke which at first I supposed to be that of a
Steanler ; but thinking it strange to fall in with
a steamer in the above position, and observing
something unusen in the appearance of the smoke, took
my glass and went aloft, when I at once discovered her
to be a vessel on fire. Immediately took in all steering
sails and made for the wreck, with a good look-out at
the masthead for her boats. Upon nearing the wreck
we observed her long boat about a mile to windward
of her, and steered for it. We passed within 20 feet of
her, and found her in good order ; no one in her, and
the oars and moveable articles gone. We then bore
away for the wreck, and at 5.15 p.m. passed under the
stern of the burning vessel, and found her to be the
I. Z., from New York to Liverpool. She was burning
fore and aft, upper works burned off, decks fallen in.
The flames were breaking through the stern, and a part
of the letter ' I.' was consumed at the moment of pas-
Sing- At the same time a sail was observed from aloft
a considerable distance to the eastward (likely the
Ebenezer), which probably picked up her crew, as I am
well satisfied they were nowhere in the vicinity of the
Wreck at the time of our leaving it."
The are has been stated to have been caused by spon-
taneous combustion.
London, England, 1853-07-26

GERMANY.

Au ex-lieutenant of artillery named Usener, who
played a part in the affair of Kossuth's rockets at Lon-
don, was arrested at Coblentz on the 24th. He had a
false passport, and came from Switzerland. He alleged
that his intention was to go to Turkey, via Marseilles.
Intelligence of the arrest was immediately sent off by
telegraph to Berlin. He took part in the insurrections
of Schleswig-Holstein and Hungary.
The Augsburgh. Gazette contains a letter from Vienna
of the 21st, which states that some political arrests have
lately taken place in Austria. Amongst the persons
taken into custody are the sons of several persons in
high station, and amongst others the son of M. S-1,
member of the Council of the Empire, and the drawer-
up of the programme of the Dec. 31, 1851 ; the two sons
of M. Trombetta, and those of some high Italian
families.

pose, but in this instance he felt himself called upon to
support the amendment of his noble friend.
The Duke of ARGYLL said, it must be admitted

that an injustice and an inequality existed in the opera-
tion of the present legacy duties, and it was to rectify
the injustice of the existing law that the Government
_ _ _ _ .

had brought forward this measure. The noble earl

opposite had argued that the Government were pro-
posing to levy the same burden upon real as upon personal
property, but such was not the case ; on the contrary,
they proposed to levy burdens upon realty to only

at the same moment that incalculable benefits
might be secured simultaneously to the Chinese
and to ourselves in the event of a right use being
made of the power for good or evil now within
the grasp of our Administration. Availing our-
selves of the confusion caused throughout the
Celestial Empire by these internecine struggles
between the upholders of the Tartar dynasty,
and the revolutionary champions of a species
of mongrel Buddhist-Christianity, England might
discover means for opening up a new and enormous
field to her own commercial enterprise, while
awakening that hitherto dormant among the
Chinese, bestowing upon the latter, in the very
act of bringing about this mutual intercourse, the
benign and incalculable blessings of modern civil-
isation. Cannot these priceless boons be secured
by the adroit interposition of our statecraft? It
is a problem deserving the most extended and deli-
berate consideration. It would add a nobler con-
quest than that of Scinde or of Affganhistan to the
history of the golden days of Queen VICTORIA—
whiIe, if efiected with his connivance, or, still
more, through the instrumentality of his active
and personal co-operation, it would justify the
Emperor TIEN-TIII iu applying to his reign the
title of Tae-ping, that of " universal peace" or of
"subjugation"—giving the title, of course, a dif-
ferent meaning than that which was, no doubt,
originally intended the "subjugation " of
ancient prejudices and the " universal peace" of a
conquered revolution.

GREENWICH REGATTA.

The 76th annual regatta at this favourite place of
summer resort, under the patronage of the Right Hon.
Earl Fitzbardinge, took place yesterday, and, as usual,
attracted many thousand spectators, the banks and the
river presenting a most animated appearance. The race was
in five heats, by six free watermen of Greenwich, for a new
boat value 251., with various money prizes for the other
men. The course extended twice up and down the front
of the town.

For the first heat, which started at half-past ten, the
whole of the ram started, which after a very hard
struggle was won by Samuel Carter I(red), 1 ; George
Hinton (yellow), 2.

The second heat was rowed for at 12 o'clock, and
finished in favour of John Groves (green), 1 ; Edward
Harvey (pink), 2, •

The third heat came off at 3 o'clock, and, like the pre-
ceding one, was well contested, George Hinton (yellow),
being 1, and Edward Harvey (pink) 2.
The fourth heat came off at 5 o'clock, when yellow
again came in first, and green second.
At about 8 o'clock the final heat took place, when
some most splendid sport ensued, the boats keeping
close together, green having but a boat's length lead
till they had gone once round the course, when green's
galley touched him on the quarter and sent him
ashore, which allowed yellow to run away from him,
and come in the winner amidst the loud cheers of the
assembled multitude.
The regatta was one of the best that we have seen for
some time, and reflects great credit upon Messrs. Tho-
mas and Hubbard, who have been the managers for the
last sixteen years.

S7'. MARGARET'S AND 87'. JOHN'S (WEST-
MINSTER) REGATTA.

Twelve watermen contended yesterday for a purse sub-
scribed by the residents. The preliminary heats having
been disposed of, the final one was contested with the
following results :
Thomas Coombes and James Coombes, senior 1
William Mickiff and William Cunes
Two other pairs started. It was a good race between
the men whose names are above given, and only won by
a length and a half.

BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY.

At the half-yearly meeting of the Brighton Railway
Company yesterday, Mr. Laing made a very important
communication, which must be considered semi-official,
as to the probable nature of the report to be issued by
the committee of the House of Commons upon railways.
It appears that they are likely to recommend a general
railway committee, to be formed from among the lead-
ing members of the House of Commons, and this would
compose something like Lord Dalhousie's board for the
purpose of making Parliamentary reports, and laying
down general principles, whether lines should be made
upon the broad or narrow gauge, and whether competi-
tion should be permitted in certain districts. This would
be when new bills were brought in. The report is ex-
pected to assert pretty strongly the expediency of giving
facilities for one line to run its traffic over another
where branches are concerned, subject to conditions
which would fairly protect the interests of the existing
and older company. A reference would probably have to
be made in such cases to the Board of Trade or the Court
of Chancery to settle the details of the arrangements.
Railways will be recommended to make working agree-
ments for a lengthened term since amalgamations are
opposed, and the companies, in such cases, would divide
the traffic at certain points between them, under the
sanction of the Board of Trade. The act, based upon
the committee's report, is not likely to be passed this
session. Mr. Laing made another announcement of
great importance to the railway world. He stated that
it would not be in his power to keep the Brighton line
in repair, and execute the new works required to meet
the increased traffic and competition, without an allow-
ance of at least 50,0001. per annum, unless the capital
account was re-opened, and he further intimated his be-
lief that the reserve fund must be given up. In accord-
ance with this altered view, the meeting voted a sum at
once from the latter fund, with power to borrow to the
full extent allowed by their act, and to appropriate the
remainder of the reserve to such purposes as the direc-
tors might think advisable.—Morning Advertiser.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.

IN RE MOSS SAMUEL.

This bankrupt had carried on an extensive business
as a watch manufacturer in Houndsditch, and this was a
meeting preliminary to the declaration of a dividend.
The accounts prepared by Messrs. Robinson and Knowles,
extending over a considerable period, show a result of
debts due to creditors, 4,1951., and the assets are esti-
mated at 1,200/. The amount of the dividend will be
officially declared in a few days.
The list was very light, and the two remaining cases
were appointed for the after part of the day.
