SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE,

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
A communication has been forwarded from the office of
Privy Council of Trade to the Secretary at Lloyd's, to the
effect that the police regulations which were so recently in
force at Stettin and other Prussian ports on the Baltic, re-
specting the production and detention of ships' papers, on
the arrival of foreign vessels at those ports, have been
amended, and that in future the masters of vessels arriving
at such ports will only be required to leave at the Bureau
de Police, a list of the crew and passengers of the vessel,
and that these papers will be returned to them without
delay, and without any charge.

A notice to mariners has been forwarded to Captain
Halsted, R.N., the Secretary at Lloyd's, issued by the
Dutch Minister of Marine, regarding certain alterations
about to be made in the coast lights of Kykduin and
Terschelling :

The Minister of Marine gives notice.
The Hague, Feb. 21, 1853.
Ist. That the coasting light of Kykduin, consisting of
argand lamps with parabolic reflectors, will soon, probably
in the commencement of the month of May next ensuing,
be extinguished and replaced by a powerful catadioptric
light of the first class._ _

2d. That the revolving light of Terschelling requiring
repair, will have to be extinguished, probably on the Ist
of June next ensuing.
3d. That from the time of extinction up to the time of
resuming lighting (for which about two months will be re-
quired for the lighthouse of Terschelling, and about three
months for that of Kykduin), at each of the aforesaid
lighthouses an auxiliary light will be used, consisting of a
catadioptric lighting apparatus of the fourth class, showing
a fast or standing light on the lighthouse of Kykduin, and
a revolving light on that of Terschelling.
The precise time of lighting the aforesaid auxiliary
lights, as well as the expanse of horizon they will em-
brace, and the distance they will be visible from, will be
announced at a later period.

thinking, as he had done formerly, that a civilian
ought not to be at the Head of the Board at
Charing-cross ! Better than this is it to see, II
the conduct of the members of the national pro-
fession, an interest in watching over the develop-
ment of steam power in our ships-of-war, and the
advancement of the science of gunnery, and the
improvement of the whole system of Naval Archi-
tecture. Instead of commending the appointment
of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, at the expense of the true
interests of the very department over which that
Right Hon. Baronet has been placed as supreme
administrator, it were well if officers like Sir G.
PECHELL would emulate the intelligent labours of
such men as Captain HOSEASON, to whose excel-
lent pamphlets on the application of the Screw
Propeller we can only now earnestly direct the
attention of the general public, without pledging
ourselves, however, to an entire coincidence with
his ingenious and comprehensive argument-

TRAVELS IN INDIA AND KASHMIR.
By Baron SCHONBERG.
•'This account of a Journey through India and Kashmir will be
read with considerable interest. Whatever came in his way worthy
of record the author committed to writing, and the result is an
entertaining and instructive miscellany of information on the coun-
try, its climate, its natural productions, its history, and antiquities ;
and the character, the religion, and the ,ocial condition of its inha-
bitants. The remarks on these various topics possess additional
interest, as the a•,thor views India and our rule over that country
with the eye of an impartial observer."--John

GERMANY.

In the sitting of the Germanic Diet on the sth
inst., the reinforcement of the federal military ser-
vice was negatived.
Switzerland has acceded to the demands of Aus-
tria relative to the security of all foreign refugees
in the Helvetic territories.

The political condition of Bavaria is stated to be
extremely critical, military precautions are re-
doubled, and the Council of Ministers have for-
warded a dispatch to King Maximilian, who is at
present in Naples, urging his immediate return to
his capital. At Lindau, a few days since, every
house in which an officer resided was marked by a
red cross.

The British Envoy at Munich has commenced a
suit against the editor of the Volksboten for ca-
lumny._

The Wurtemberg Chamber has decided against
the Government that the penalty of death shall, in
future, be only applied to criminals convicted of
attempts against the person of the Sovereign, and
to common murderers, but not to those convicted
of attempts against the State.
According to accounts from Pesth, of the let,
Noslopy, chief of the guerillas, and three of his ac-
complices—one of whom is the tutor of Kossuth's
children—were to be executed on the 3d.

It is said that the Austrian troops on the fron-
tier of Switzerland number upwards of 15,000
strong. The Emperor is rapidly recovering from
the effects of the assassin's wound ; but though his
health is generally good, it is feared his eyesight
will continue to be seriously affected.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL—MAncm 8.
At this day's market there was a fair attendance of tons
and country millers, who, however, bought as sparingly as
possible, and the business done was. upon the whole ex
tromely small. Wheat and flour were offered at a reduc-
tion of id to 2d per 701 b., and is per barrel under prices of
this day week, with little effect. Oats and oatmeal were
in very limited request, and must be noted id to ld per
451 b.,
and 3d per load cheaper. Barley, beans, and Peas
remained without alteration in value or demand. Indian
corn on the spot was scarcely inquired for, and yellow was
is and white 2s per qr. lower; floating and arrived cargoes
were also easier to buy.

IPSWICH—MARCH 8.
We had a fair supply of wheat at market this day ; i!
met a fair steady sale, and prices remain quite as 1"w
sorts
week. Barley in somewhat larger quantity, but all
found ready sale, the choicest samples fetching a trifle
more money. Beans and peas maintained late rates.

ELECTION COMMITTEES-21farch. 8.

(Continued from our First Edition of yesterday.)
SOUTHAMPTON.

A considerable number of other non-resideit voters
were then called, but their evidence only went to show
that they had received letters from the Liberal agents,
stating that their travelling expenses would be paid if
they came and voted, and that, after polling, they re-
ceived sums varying from 1/. to 3/. 10s. on the account
of those expenses. An attempt was made to show that
extravagant allowances were given to the voters in this
respect ; but most of the witnesses declared that they
were out of pocket, notwithstanding the sums they re-
ceived.
In the course of their examination,

The Chairman observed, that it seemed that several
of the witnesses did not get sufficient to cover their out-
lay.

Mr. Alexander said, however that might be, he should
contend that allowances in respect of travelling were
illegal.

The committee adjourned at four o'clock until 11 to-

morrow.

DEPARTURE OF DR. LA YARD FOR CONSTANTINOPLE.—
Dr. Layard has sent the following address to the elec-
tors of Aylesbury :—" Gentlemen—My services having
been considered of use in the East in the present critical
state of affairs, I have not hesitated to place them at the
disposal of her Majesty's Embassy at Constantinople,
and, with the sanction of her Majesty's Government, I
leave England to-morrow with Lord Stratford de Red-
cliffe. In taking this step, which after mature delibera-
tion I conscientiously believe to be an act of duty, I
would fain hope that I shall meet with your approba-
tion. I should have deemed it right to consult you pre-
vious to my departure, had time permitted me to call a
meeting ; as it is,
I have only been able to obtain the
sanction of a few of my friends and supporters during .a
hurried visit to Aylesbury on Monday last. I have rea-
son to hope that your interests will in no way suffer by
my absence, and I need only add that nothing but an
imperative sense of duty would have induced me to leave
my place in Parliament during the session. I trust I
shall very shortly be again at my post ; and relying upon
your kind indulgence, I beg to subscribe myself, yours
very truly,--A. H. LAYARD."
London, England, 1853-01-04

truest evidence, he is liable to be heavily fined, as
Mr. CONNELL was at Cork ; or to be committed to
the common gaol, as was a lady at Exeter in the
year 1849, when, as we are informed, if a special
order had not been humanely obtained from the
Judges, she must have passed the time of her im-
prisonment in the degrading company of the worst
of the female sex. Thus—and it is most mon-
strous that such should be the case in any civil-
ised country—if they were to suffer an injury in
property or person, and complain thereof to a
Magistrate, they would themselves most likely be
punished in being sent to prison, while the perpe-
trator of the injury would, in all probability, be set
at liberty. The law, in fact, affords them no
protection. Such are the powers of persecution
for a religious belief which still exist under the
law of _England, and prevent us practically pro-
claiming the sacred right of every human being to
liberty of conscience. If our Government should
adopt the prayer of the Memorial alluded to in
the beginning of these remarks, the Tuscan Go-
vernment may truly, and without irreverence,
give in reply the sth verse of the 7th chapter of
St. Matthew. Perhaps no other answer could
be so conclusive. But shall our country
continue to be branded with such a stigma? Twice
during the last Parliament ineffectual attempts
were made by Sir Wx. PAGE WOOD to pass an
Affirmation Bill which would have removed the
oppressions we complain of. In the United States
of America, we are informed that "in every
Court of Law- throughout the country it is optional
whether you give your affirmation or your oath,"
and in our own country no evil or inconvenience
has arisen .from the evidence of Quakers and
Moravians being given on affirmation instead of
on oath. It appears strange, then, that a measure
which has be en found to work so well when ap-
plied to those sects, should have been successfully
opposed whel a attempted to be ex tended to Chris-
tians in general, notwithstanding the support it
received from i some of the highest lsw authorities
in the country. We, however, confidently expect
that when P'arliament re-assembles after the Christ-
mas Recess, :some Member of the House of Commons,
will again introduce an Affirmation Bill ; and when
we consider low ready the Earl of DERBY was to
support the Bill of Indemnity for Mr. Aidelnan
SALOMONS in the last Session of Parliament, after
the Alderman had rendered himself liable to pains
and penalties in many respects similar to those we ,
have named, we cannot doubt but that it must
pass through -both Houses, now that a new Ministry
has such a favourable opportunity of proving its
liberal and enlighten d tendencies. All that is
asked for is, " that protection which every
Government owes to every faithful and loyal
subject."

HALIFAX.

The nomination took place at 11 o'clock yesterday
morning, in the Piece Hall-yard, a spacious area,
capable of containing a very large number of people.
Mr. EDWARD AKROYD, of Denton-park, proposed, and
Mr. JOHN CROSSLEY, brother of the sitting member for

tion of the Right Hon. Sir Charles Wood, as a fit and

seconded, the nomination of Mr. Henry Edwards, as a
suitable person to represent that borough in Parliament.

• ,

which,

The MAYOR took a show of hands in favour first of
Sir Charles Wood, and then of Mr. Edwards. There
was a large number of hands held up for Sir Charles
Wood, but a still larger number for Mr. Edwards, who
was declared to be elected by a show of hands.

The result was hailed with loud cheers from the Tory
side, though the minority who held up for Sir Charles
Wood was much larger than at the election in July.
Mr. ARROYD, on behalf of Sir Charles Wood, de-
manded a poll.

Act.

Mr. Lucas arl%:(4.ri)d for five creditors. Three other
creditors appeare-a
The insolvent person. Mr. Sargood supported.
, as r atired major, has a pension of 269/.
per and` he has made a proposal to pay 301. yearly
into year,
ofourtj:or his Creditors. His furniture had been sold
for his creditors, and 1191. had been paid into court.
Mr. Lucas said his object was to obtain a larger pro-
posal ibr the creditors, and he would suggest that 50/.
per year be set aside in liquidation of the insolvent's
debts.

Mr. Sargood said his client was anxious to meet the
wishes of his credi tors to the fullest extent in his power,
and he would endeavour to pay the larger sum.
Protection was granted accordingly.
(Before I ill-. Commissioner Phillips.)
IN' RE JAMES RANDALL.
The insolvent, a. timber-dealer, of Bethnal-green, ap-
plied under the Pr otection Act. Mr. Nicholls opposed;
Mr. Sargood supp orted.
An objection is taken to the petition on the ground
that there were payments within three months which
were not in the ordinary course of business. It appeared
from the insolvent's examination that he had borrowed
a sum of money fron .i his sister, which he had used in the
course of his businef is, and that in the course of the three
months next precee Ling the date of his petition he had
made repayments.
His Honour held the objection to lic fatal, and dis-
missed the insolveut's petition.
IN RE ADOLPHUS MAUL.
The insolvent was a watchmaker, in Long-acre. He
came up for protection supported ; Mr. Duncan op posed
for a creditor, and two creditors opposed in person.
His Honour held that the insolvent had improperly
contracted a debt by representing to a creditor that he
was entitled to a 1 egacy, and that he had acted fast .and
