LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 17, 1853.

picture to the Kafir War—
The companion
namely, the unfortunate war against the Bur-
mese—is becoming, with every successive mail, more
and more highly coloured. The intelligence from
the Irrawaddy serves, rather painfully, to remind
us that every age, that every state, that every
crisis, is not blessed in the hour of conflict with
the ripened genius of a HowE, or the matured
energies of a RADETZKY. We have learnt, -by a
bitter experience, the folly of that extravagant
system which squanders in modern warfare gold,
and time, and blood, and life, for the sake of re-
taining in supreme command some very well-in-
tentioned but evidently worn-out octogenarian.
Judging from the course pursued in this respect,
for a considerable time past, by England, it would
seem that, as a nation, we place less reliance
upon youth than upon senility. It would appear
even that the British- Empire itself, grown grey
in glory, has become enamoured of congenial
age—placing the symbols of authority, in all but
a few exceptions, within the grasp of veterans,
serviceable for more than the " sear and yellow
leaf" over which MACBETEI lamented. It is thus,
indeed, of late,
.almost invariably. If the coun-
cils of the SOVEREIGN are broken up by a minis-
terial crisis—the chances are that the particular
statesman selected, is the very one whose decrepi-
tude has compelled him formally to retire from
public life, or to refrain from participating as fre-
quently as of yore in the stormy contests of the
Legislature. If another struggle is known to
have commenced along the frontiers of our mag-
nificent dependencies in Ifindostan, the sea-cap-
tain entrusted with the responsibility of conduct-
ing our fleets to the scene of action, is some old
flag-officer, who ought to have been spared the
ailments encountered among the swamps near
Rangoon, and to have been permitted to
wile away the closing years of an honoured and
protracted existence, dragged in a bath-chair along
the shady side of the tranquil romenade at
Cheltenham. Instead of this, Admiral AUSTIN is
sent out to die on the coast of Burmah—avictim
to the system of which we have long complained—
surrounded at the period of his decease not by
chalybeate-spas, and fashionable physicians,
and all the other accessories of a favourite water-
ing-place, but by death in a thousand shapes of
anything but a heroic character—death not by
the bomb, or the bullet, or the bayonet, but by
jungle fever, and the Asiatic cholera, and
dysentery. Looking nearer home in regard to the
less destructive field of polities, we find the Pre-
miership proffered, under a great emergency, to a
leader whor is himself compelled to decline the ten-

ITALY.

Private letters from Genoa, of the 12th instant,
contradict the reports of the Austrian army in
Italy having received numerous reinforcements. It
is true that precautions had been adopted by the
Austrian Commander-in-Chief on the side of Swit-
zerland, where the artillery had been reinforced by
four batteries. Accommodation had likewise been
commanded on the line of the Tessino for a small
body of men.

SHERIFFS OOURT-(THIS DAY).

(Before R. Gurney, Esq.)
BitooK V. FOWLER AND CO.-IMPORTANT QUESTION AS TO

COMMERCIAL TRAYELLERS.

The plaintiff in this case is a commercial traveller, and
defendants are extensive shawl merchants in the city of
London. The damages were laid at 501., for compensa-
tion for having been dismissed from defendants' service
without due notice.

Mr. Ernest Reed (instructed by Mr. H. Read and
Mr. Drew, Coleman-street) stated the case, viz.—that
in August last plaintiff was engaged as a commercial
traveller for the firm of FOwler and Co., for six months
certain, at the yearly salary of 1301. and 245. per day
for expenses. Plaintiff went his first journey, and was
out about six weeks. No complaint was made of him
on that occasion, and he took a second journey, but on
his return he was informed that his further services
would be dispensed with, and he was paid three months'
salary, and offered one month's salary in, lieu of notice,
which he refused to accept.

The plaintiff was called, and deposed to these facts.
Mr. Pollock, for the defendant, called Messrs. Mat-
thews and Camplin, of the firm, and denied that the
agreement was for six months certain. They considered
plaintiff had been out too long on his last journey, and
had not been as successful as they expected. They had
no complaint to make, and dismissed him because it did
not pay. They offered the money in lieu of notice, be-
cause they did not wish to part unfriendly, or that he
had been discharged so that it might in the slightest way
tend to his prejudice.

Several other witnesses were called to prove there was
a general understanding and custom to give or accept a
month's salary in lieu of notice.
Mr. Reed contended that, although the witnesses
spoke to a custom, none of them had shown the terms
under which they were engaged. In this case the en-
gagement was annual, to be terminated at the end of six
months, but plaintiff was entitled to notice at least for
three months, as he was paid quarterly.
His Honour did not think the documents put in made
out that plaintiff was engaged for six months certain,
but there had been a general hiring, and it was well
understood in the trade that a month's notice must be
given. There was no ground for imputing negligence to
the plaintiff, who was entitled to a verdict for one
month's salary, 101. 16s. Bd.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET-(THIS DAY).

AN UNDUTIFUL SPN.--11illiam, Harding, a lad about
17 years of age, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bing-
ham, charged with stealing several skins of coloured
leather, the prOperty of his father, John Harding, leather
colourer, 621, Berwick-street, Soho. It appeared from
the evidence of Stringer, an active officer of the C divi-
sion, that about ten o'clock on Saturday night he saw
the prisoner proceeding along Hollen-street, and observ-
ing that he had something bulky concealed under his
coat, he followed him as far as Moor-street, when he
stopped, and pulled from his coat pocket a large roll of
leather. He (the officer) then went up to prisoner and
asked him where he got the leather from, and what he was
going to do with it 'I To which prisoner replied, his
father gave it to him, and he was going to take it with
him to Holborn. The prisoner's conduct was so sus-
picious that he thought it his duty to take him into cus-
tody. Witness subsequently discovered that the pre-
mises occupied by prisoner's father had been broken
open.

Mr. Harding identified the leather produced as his
property, and stated that he locked up his warehouse,
and left all safe at 8 o'clock on Saturday night. . About
12 o'clock the officer came to his residence at Kilburn,
and told him that his son was in custody. Prosecutor
added that his son was a most undutiful lad, and had
robbed him repeatedly, and he now wished to prosecute
him for the offence.
Committed for trial.

there would now have been nothing, so far as
wills are concerned, for Mr. BETHELL to attack,
or for the lovers of Anglican Popery to wish to
retain. All this, however—this Popish origin,
Popish recovery from Protestantism, and the over-
sight by which the Popish enactment was left un-
repealed, can but endear these precious Legisla- ,
tive relics of Popery to all those in the
Ministry infested with the Anglo-mania ; they
will neither like to give up these out-of-place
semi-religious Courts, nor to subtract aught from
the powers enjoyed by their specially beloved
Hierarchical Dignitaries. It all goes, they will
argue (falsely, we think, in a religious point of
view). to make the Church of consequence ; there-
fore, we will stickle for every antique ecclesias-
tical abuse. We will abolish Corn Laws—but
catch us, if we can help it, abolishing a tittle of
the secular jurisdiction of Bishops and Arch-
bishops. We hope Mr. BETHELL, the Law Amend-
ment Secretary, and the public will not let them
help it."
We see with pleasure also that Lord BROUGHAM
intends to relieve them of another labour, the
business of divorce. At present, to accomplish
this, in many cases, necessary act, no less than
three costly steps are necessary; an action must
be brought in a Common Law Court, another in
an Ecclesiastical Court : and, finally, the Act of
Parliament must seal the divorce. Hence, it is
never thought of but amongst the rich. Some
imagine, indeed, that if the legal process were not
costly, there would be divorces for trivial causes.
It might just as well be argued that,
because the process at law is cheap in
the County Courts, therefore people would be
made to pay their debts when they could not be
satisfactorily proved. Justice, which costs no-
thing to the parties, may be as rigidly administered
as what costs thousands, and no English Judge or
Jury would ever grant a divorce but on the
clearest grounds.
We have often wondered that the Dissenters,
the Society of Friends especially, have not been
more forward in the warfare against these courts.
They share with the rest of her MAJESTY'S sub-
jects the annoyance of their costliness and com-
plexity—.they, like all others, bequeath their real
property under the jurisdiction of one set of
Courts, their personal property under that of
another. But the Quakers, as they profess to
ignore all ecclesiastics and ecclesiastical authority
whatever, must feel peculiar repugnance to
Church Courts. Dissenters, too, of every
sect, as they quit the Church and renounce
her authority, must as naturally prefer the secular
law courts, as they preferred liberty to celebrate a
legal marriage without resorting to the parish
church. So far as they are concerned, to relieve
them from responsibility to Church Courts would
be only carrying out the policy of the Test and
Corporation and the Marriage Acts.*

We had a fair supply of all sorts of grain. Wheat
receded in value 6d to Is per quarter, with a languid sale.

There was an average supply of fat beasts here to-del ;
most of the animals were of the middling sort, and high
prices were again asked for beef at brisk sales. There
were but few sheep offered for sale compared with the
wants of buyers, and many remained unsuited. Fat pigs
were again scarce, realisinc, an advance in price. There
was a small quantity of fat calves, and were very dear.

AUSTRIA.

The Lloyds of Vienna contains a long article in
which it seeks for the reasons which have caused
the English for the last five years to be less fa-

vourably treated on the Continent than they for-
merly wefe. It says
:
"Formerly the English enjoyed on the Continent pri-
vileges beyond the law of nations, while the English.
Government did not treat foreigners so well. This ad-
vantage of the English was the result of the esteem
which was professed for them on the Continent. Fiom
1848 every thing changed. Ideas favourable to the
English Government have disappeared. It is not that
England has openly made war against any power on the
Continent, but it has made war in the midst of peace ;
it has played the traitorous part of betraying her friend
by giving a Judas's kiss. Eminent Englismen have
gone through the States where the Ambassadors of
their nation were accredited in order to excite subjects
to revolt against the Sovereign. A. Minister has even
avowed in Parliament that he wished to take from the
allies of England of 1815 their territorial possessions
without a declaration of war, and the House of Commons
did not blush at this glaring infamy of the Government.
If at some future time the English Government should
prove that this policy was that of a few-men, and not of
the nation, the feeling which is now unfavourable to the
English would be changed "

A letter from Warsaw announces the death o:
Count Francis Potocki, one of the most influentia
men in Poland.

A letter from Vienna, 22d, states that the cousin
of the Prince of Montenegro has demanded an
audience of the Emperor, which will probably be
granted after the return of General Koallner. The
object of the journey of the general was strategic ;
before his departure the Government had taken
measures to protect the frontiers.
Letters from Cattaro of the 21st, in the Trieste
Gazette, announce that the districts of Labine,
Kulassin, Zupanisicka, Zubce, and Kraiscevice,
in llerzgovine, have declared for the Montenegrins.
Austria is sending troops to Dalmatia to protect
her frontiers.

THE CONVICT KIRWAN.

DUBLIN, JAN. Capel-street Police office ye,-:
terday, Mr. Boswell, attorney, appeared before tilt;
bench, and said that he had an appbcz.tion to make in a
matter arising out of the case of the Queen -v. Kirwan.
It was on behalf of a per.son whose name had been men-
tioned in connection with that case, and who had suf-
fered a great deal of oppression and misery. Certain
letters had been traced of a Very serious character ; but
he would not mention the name of the detective, as be
was not there to make any charge against the police.
Some extraordinary conduct had been traced with regard
to an individual ; the matter would, he hoped, be brought
under the investigation of the Lords Justices, and a case
would also be sent to Lord Palmerston ; but in the mean
time he (Mr. Boswell) wanted to know whether it would
be correct, pending the investigation, to take out a
a sum-
ponss e
against the man, in order to bind him to keep the
pec?
Mr. O'Callaghan—Who is the person ; is he one of
police ?

Mr. Boswell—The person on whose behalf I ask the
summons is Miss Kenny, whose name was mentioned in
connection with the case of Kirwan, and Mortimer Red-
mond is the name of the detective.
Mr. O'Callaghan—l would say that under the 6th and

SPAIN.

The advices from Madrid are dated the 22d.
They state that a negotiation has been concluded
between the Government and some foreign capital-
ists for an advance of money on the national pro-
perty. The sum was fifty-seven millions. Besides
the commission, the Government was to pay 7i per
cent. interest.

The house of O'Shea, actin(' in the name of
Messrs. Baring, Brothers, of London, has under-
taken to advance the greatest part of that sum.
The Government has also procured resources to
enable it to provide for the public wants until the
close of March.

The Absolutist journal of Seville, La Paz, ad-
vises its political friends to take no part in the
approaching electoral contest.

The Three per Cents. were done at 40 ; the New
Three per Cents. at 22 1-16 ; the Debt of the first-
class, at ; and that of the second, at 51.
