MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OE A GIRL.—On Saturday last
Margaret Elliot, a young girl about 16 years of age,
who resided with her parents, in Low Glencairn-
street, committed suicide under very mysterious cir-
cumstances. On Friday night she had been out with
other girls, in company with several young men, and the
party had separated about twelve o'clock. On Saturday
she was in her usual spirits apparently, although it was
evident her mind must in some way have been disturbed.
On that day she purchased from an apothecary a penny-
worth of vitriol, and having gone into the garden at the
back of her father's house, drank it between four and
five o'clock in the afternoon. Having been observed
lyiny in the garden, she was brought into the house in
great agony, and surgical assistance immediately pro-
cured. The fatal potion, however, defied all remedy,
and in three hours after she died. She gave no other
reason for the step which she had taken than that she
was tired of her life. The corpse was interred on Tues-
day.—Silmarnock Journal.
SOLINAMBULISM AT NORTHALLERTON.—During the
night of Wednesday, the 9th inst., a young man named
Powle, a joiner and cabinet maker from Leeds, who was
Bleeping at the Rose and Crown Inn, at Northallerton,
arose up, in his sleep, and went out of the window of his
bedroom, which is an attic, and fell to the ground.
Though he was very much cut and injured by the fail,
there are strong hopes of his recovery.

IMPROTS AND EXPORTS OF GOLD.

The imports of the precious metals this week have
again been very heavy, owing to the continued influx of
Australian gold. Our list includes--by the Falcon,
from Sydney, 14,655 ounces of gold ; by the Sydney
steamer, from Australia, 175,790 ounces of gold ; by the
screw-steamer Alps, from New York, 200,000 dollars ;
by the City of Manchester, from Philadelphia, 15,000
dollars ; by the Iberia, from Lisbon, 1,600/. ; and by the
Teviot, from the Brazils, three boxes of gold, and a case
of old silver (besides nine packages of diamonds), the
value of which was not stated in the manifest. The total
♦alue of these imports may be stated at fully 810,0001.,
nearly the entire of which is in gold.
The custom-house account of the shipments of the pre-
cious metals direct from London, during the week ending
Thursday last, is as follows :—Gold coin—To Belgium,
9,400 ounces ; to Hamburgh, 1,840 ounces ; to Dunkirk,
4,000 ounces. Gold bars—To Hamburgh, 2,500
ounces ;to Boulogne, 4,000 ounces. Silver coin—To
Boulogne, 700 ounces. Silver bars—To Boulogne,
3,100 ounces. This gives a total of 21,740 ounces of
gold, and 3,800 ounces of silver—representing an aggre•
gate value of nearly 85,0001.
We are also advised of the undermentioned shipments,
viz.:—By the Lady Jocelyn, 29,7731., chiefly for Cal-
cutta ; by the Magdalena, for the West Indies, 1,3361.
in specie, besides 1,9001. worth of jewellery ; by the
Marco Polo, for Melbourne; 76,750/. in specie ; by the
.Euphemus, for Geelong and Port Philip, 20,000/. ; and
by the Sir Henry Hardinge, for Port Philip and Sydney,
30,0001. The Ripon, which will leave Southampton
to-morrow for Alexandria, will carry out specie and
bullion to the value of 242,9201., of which 30,0001. is
in gold, and 212,9201. in silver, forming a large pro-
portion of the late arrivals of silver from the West
Indies. The destination of this large sum is as follows :
for Ceylon, gold, 1,0001. ; for Bombay, silver, 124,0301. ;
for Madras, silver, 8,890/., and gold, 5,000/. ; for Cal-
cutta, silver, 80,0001. ; for Alexandria, gold, 24,000/.
The total shipments from the kingdom for the week are
thus raised to 485,0001., and the excess of imports
over exports is consequently about 325,0001. The
large shipments of silver .to the east, it should
be remembered, have no effect upon the balance
sheet of the Bank of England, as this silver
merely passes through the London market like any
other mercantile commodity. The result of our
statement is, that the movement of the precious
metals is at present decidedly in our favour, a result
which cannot fail to have an effect upon future returns
of the Bank. Next week there will be further ship-
ments of gold to the continent. On the other hand, we
continue to notice the favourable feature of a falling off
in the demand for coin for Australia.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET—(THIS Dd Y.)

ROBBERY.—Mary. Kennedy, a well-dressed woman,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged
with stealing a pound weight of bacon, value Bd., the
property. of Mr. George Tickell, cheesemonger, 54,
Broad-street, Golden-square.
Prosecutor stated that about twelve o'clock on Satur-
day night he was on a pair of steps, near his shop door,
taking down a side of bacon, when he saw the prisoner
take up the piece of bacon produced, and put it under
her shawl. Just as she was walking off, he got down
from the steps and went after her, and asked her to
give him the bacon she had taken from his shop. She
then pulled the piece OT bacon from under her shawl and
threw it on the counter. He then sent for a constable,
and gave her in charge.
In defence, the prisoner said she took the bacon with
the intention of having it weighed in the shop, and
while she was waiting the prosecutor taxed her with
stealing the bacon, and gave her in charge.
Mr. Bingham remanded her till Wednesday next.

LtEit MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

This renowned Theatre is to opal. This is a fact.
A project, which promises the best, is on foot for the
commencement of a new season. Several spirited indi-
viduals, among whom may be reckoned Mr. Puzzi (so
well known as connected with her Majesty's Theatre
for so many years), Messrs. Robinson and Nugent (offi-
cials. eonnectelmitluthe. establishment for-very long pe-
riods), and others, men- of capital, and parties interested,
have made an offer, b? means 'of- which, and with the
concurrence and substantial aid of the numerous body of
Box-Proprietors, the great result will be accomplished,
and the old opera still be secured to the public. All that
is wanting for success to this new measure is mutual for-
bearance for a short space ; as a company is formed and
ready, an orchestra engaged, intended operations di-
gested, and all the details of the scheme already'placed
on solid foundations. We should think that the owners
of the Theatre and the Proprietors of Boxes would not
be so lost to their own interests, as, by apathy or want
of courage, to interpose any difficulty, and not to throw
over the whole design, the spirit and protection of their
guarantee. Mr. Puzzi, so well known in the musical
circles of London, and whose aid as medium between
the artistic world and its aristocratic patrons is so inva-
lu%ble, is to be the principal of the new body of ma-
nagers. Union at this juncture, concert and good under-
standing, forbearance for. a certain period, and the pro-
per encouraging guarantees, even the distinct impressions
of self-interest, are all that is wanting to render pro-
sperity certain. Remembering the vast body dependant
on the Theatre, it would be pitiable, indeed, should a
more than temporary and retrievable difficulty befal it.

REINFORCEMENT OF THE MEDITERRANEAN

FLEET.

We stated some days since that the Mediterranean
fleet would most likely be reinforced, and we expected,
from an order given last week, that none of the men be-
longing to the steam squadron at Spithead should be
allowed leave on shore, that before this some of the ships
would have taken their departure for Malta. It appears,
however, that on Saturday orders were received at
Portsmouth for Rear-Admiral Corry's baggage to be
landed from the Prinee Regent, 90, and on that day,
our correspondent states, " the Prince Regent, 90, Cap-
tain Frederick Hutton, and Leopard, 16 (paddle-frigate),
Captain George Giffard, fired a signal-gun at 1.30
p.m., and hoisted the blue peter at the fore ; and it
was supposed that sudden orders had come down for
them to put to sea, and their destination the Mediter-
ranean. They unmoored, and awaited further orders.

Yesterday, our correspondent says, writing at four
p.m., "London, 90, Captain Mundy, has just fired a
signal-gun, and hoisted the blue peter at the fore.
4.20 p.m., Sidon, 22, Captain Goldsmith, has just
hoisted the blue peter at the fore. Prince Regent and
Leopard are quiet." At all events, the ships are on the
qui vive, and, with the exception of the London, which
ship is still above 150 short, are fully manned, and
ready for any service.
We have intelligence from Malti to the 14th inst.
The Wasp, 14, screw-ship, Commander Lord John Hay,
had arrived with dispatches from Constantinople, to the
effect, it was believed, that the nearer Admiral Dun-
das's fleet was to the Dardanelles the more satisfactory
it would be to the Turks, and the more advantageous to
the preservation of the peace of Europe. The gallant
admiral's fleet was in the highest state of excellence, and
perhaps there never was a small force so united and so
effective for any service it might be called upon to
perform.
The detail of the British force in the Mediterranean
is nearly as follows :-

LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 21, 1853.

If the Government of our Anglo-Indian Em-
pire were in every other respect all that could be
desired, the vices incident to, and under the ex-
isting system inseparable from, the administration
of justice throughout the entire country would
render it essential to refuse a renewal of the
charter to the Company, at least until the local
tribunals had been completely remodelled. Unan-
swerable evidence has been adduced to show the
truly deplorable state of affairs in both the Civil
and Criminal Courts, arising from the gross
ignorance, inexperience, and general inefficiency
of the Judges. Lord CAMPBELL has spoken in
terms of strong but just indignation, in the House
of Lords, on the subject. The complaint has
been repeated by Lord MONTEAGLE and
other Peers, while the statements contained in
the Madras Petition, and in the able publication
by Mr. J. B. NouToN,* afford the most conclusive
testimony that these censures, so far from being
unmerited, have been by no means sufficiently
stringent. Nothing in this country, even before
the work of legal reformation had commenced.
and while the "Palace Court," arc' the different
" Courts of CONSCIENCE" (! ! !) flourished, could
give any notion of the practical injustice perpe-
trated under 'the cloak of law, and that arising
not from the corruption, but the total incompe-
tencey, of the Judges.
But how could it be otherwise ? How could
we hop 3 for a due administration of justice, when
we consider the nature of the system under which
not merely the Judges of the inferior tribunals,
but even of the appellate
jurisdictions, have been,
and still are, appointed? There
is no Royal road
to judicial knowledge, and even •
if there had been,
the greatest possible learning
would be compara-
tively useless, without practical experience
guide and assist
the Judge in weig h. to
conflicting
testimony, and arriving at sound conclusion
notwithstanding the positive asseverations of
interested or mendacious witnesses. Many well-
qualified men could be obtained to discharge these
important duties with ability, fidelity, and zeal,
for less remuneration than that given to persona
profoundly ignorant of the law, and having no
experience whatever, save as Assistant-Collec-
tors—by no means an eligible school—until, to
their own astonishment, and the disgust of the
unfortunate natives who reside within their juris-
diction, they are pitchforked on ,to the Judicial
Bench, without possessing a single qualification
for the office. This gross abuse, this flagrant
grievance, is connived at and sanctioned, in order
that there may be no diminution in the value of
the patronage •of the Honourable Board of
Directors—that each lad at Ha by ey ury may
be certain of attaining the Judicial Bench
in due course, ,his qualifications for the situa-
tion being a matter of the most profound in-
difference to allparties who •

FACTS AND SCRAPS PROM AUSTRALIA.

ESTABLISHMENT OF A MINT AT ADELAIDE, &c.—The
Council has voted addresses to the Queen, praying for
the establishment of a branch of the Royal Mint in this
province. It has also addressed the Governor in favour
of a measure making gold tokens, of an uniform value, a
legal tender, and his Excellency has consented to intro-
duce an act to that effect. Tokens of 1/. value have al-
ready been struck off.at the Assay-office, and will be
issued so soon as they are constituted a legal tender.
The machinery in the establishment referred to is calcu-
lated to strike off 10,000 tokens a day.
RELATIVE PRICES IN ADELAIDE OF BANS BILLS ON
LONDON.-1850—In September, October, November,

CLERICAL OBITUARY' Or 1852.—During the year which
has just ended no fewer than 291 clergymen have died,
and thereby caused the transference, in the course of
that period, of ecclesiastical revenues to the amount of
101,449/. 1 Of these 291 clergymen who died during
last year, several were pluralists, holding, in some cases,
two or three, and even four, different appointments ; so
that we may reckon the number of distinct benefices at
about 350 ; and as the whole is shown to be worth
101,449/. it will be seen that the average value of each
of these benefices or appointments is within a fraction of
3004 per annum.

DUMFRIESSHIRE.
Viscount Drumlanrig was returned yesterday for
Dumfriesshire without opposition, Sir William Jardine
having retired from the contest.

COUNTY OF HADDINGTON.
The election of a member for this county, rendered
necessary by the Hon. Francis Charteris having accepted
the Scotch Lordship of the Treasury, took place at Had.
dington on Tuesday. Mr. G. W. Hope, of Luffness,
proposed the re-election, for the third time, of Mr.
Charteris, which nomination was seconded by Sir John
Sinclair, of Stevenson. No other candidate being pro-
posed, Mr. Sheriff Home declared Mr. Charteris duly
and unanimously elected. Mr. Charteris then, at some
length, addressed the electors. He defended the Peelite
party from the charge of having entered into a factious
combination—to turn out the late Government, and re-
viewed the events of the election and the short Parlia-
mentary session. The hon. gentleman's speech was re-
ceived with cordial cheering.
London, England, 1853-01-13

SWITZERLAND.

The Basle Gazette of the 10th inst. contains the
Following :—" We lately announced that the Aus-
trian Government had addressed a remonstrance to
he Federal Council respecting the expulsion of the
Capuchins who did not belong to the Canton of
;Ticino. We learn to-day that the Federal Council
!has replied to the Cabinet of Vienna that its
,grievance against the Ticino Government was un-
founded, and it consequently expressed a hope that
it would not recur to the reprisals with which its
`note threatened that Government." _

1—
The Zurich Gazette of the Bth publishes the fol-
lowing notice of the Consul of Saxony in Switzer-
land :—" The ordinance of the Saxon Government,
of the 18th October, relative to the participation
of the Saxon subjects residing in Switzerland in
operative and other similar associations, having
been badly interpreted, the undersigned has been
authorized by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of
Saxony to declare that it was erroneous to infer
from the terms of the ordinance that it has for its
object to compel the Saxon workmen living in
Switzerland to quit that country. Its sole object
is to caution Saxon subjects against entering any
operative or other similar associations, because
their disobedience would expose them to a rigorous
surveillance after their return to Saxony."
London, England, 1853-01-13

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY).

Mary Ann Liddel was placed at the bar before
Mr. Hall, charged with stealing a purse containing nine
sovereigns and some silver, the property of Robert
Ramin.

Police-constable 138 F was on duty in the Strand
about three o'clock this morning, when he heard the cry
of " Police." ' He went to the spot and saw the pri-
soner, who was struggling with the prosecutor, and the
latter told him that prisoner had robbed him, and swal-
lowed eight sovereigns and a-half. He directly took her
to the station, where she was searched, and a sovereign
and some silver was found upon her. The prosecutor
was very drunk at the time.
The prisoner, who denied the charge, was fully com-
mitted for trial.

ducing the Government of this country to make
further inquiries into the horrors of slavery, to
which, it Would appear, even British subjects are
liable to be subjected. The poor woman Plassy
Lawrence was compelled to prostitute herself, and
her children were sold into slavery. The marks of
the most savage flogging were evident on her
back when she went on board the ship. The
Vestal was under the guns of the batteries and
surrounded by the Spanish fleet, but her gallant
captain would not listen to any proposal for giv-

mains safe under the protection of the British flag,
although she is but a humble subject of that
country.

by one of them discovering the hand of the invalid in
his pocket, from which she contrived to abstract sixteen
shillings. Whilst he was threatening to give her into
custody, four ruffianly looking fellows, in the garb of

MAURITIUS.

The advices from Mauritius come down to the
12th of November. The events of the past month
had not proved of much interest. The planters
were engaged with their crops, and had been fa-
voured by dry weather. Complaints had been
made in some quarters of the yield of the cane, but
it was generally presumed that the total quantity
of sugar produced would be slightly in excess of
last year. The introduction of vacuum pans in
the manufacture had been successful, and further
orders had been sent to England for an increased
supply. More powerful mills would also be con-
structed to
.facilitate operations. The prices of-
sugar had slightly recovered, several parcels having
latterly been sold at an advance. Specie, Bank
post, Treasury, and Australian bills had been
received to some amount, which had sufficed
to keep a healthy check on exchange, which
ranged from 3 to 4 per cent. discount. The
returns from the Custom-house for the quarter
ending the 10th of October showed a heavy re-
duction in the imports compared with the same
period in the two preceding years. The branch of
the Oriental Bank had been regularly opened, and
it was announced that its operations would embrace
general banking business, with the exception of the
discount of local bills. The Commercial Bank had
just issued a half-yearly statement of its affairs, the
result exhibiting a profit of 7.41 per cent. The
Governor had been temporarily residing at Belle
Marre Estate, Flacq, and had been visited by the
principal planters of the district. The definite
reply of the Hova Government to the Chamber of
Commerce respecting the precise conditions on
which they would consent to open the ports of
Madagascar was daily expected. At Bourbon the
small-pox had diminished, but there was no imme-
diate prospect of a total cessation of the disease.
The total shipments of sugar up to the 10th of No-
vember were 29,494,198 lbs. against 25,568,881 lbs.
in 1851, and 23,000,875 lbs. in 1850. The quota-
tions varied, according to quality, from 3 doh. 10c.
to 5 dots. 50c. There had been little fluctuation
in the terms of freight. Second-class vessels had
been taken up as low as 2/. 10s. ; first-class at
21. 15s. to 3/. The rice market remained steady
without material alteration. Late arrivals of wheAt
and flour had unfavourably influenced quotations,
which were generally lower.
London, England, 1853-01-13

AUSTRIA.

The Austrian Government recently published a
return of the Customs' receipts from the Ist Nov.,
1851, to 31st Oct., 1852. The import duties
amounted to 22,028,671 florins, presenting an in-
crease of 2,349,974 florins, compared with the pre-
ceding year. The new tariff having effected consi-
derable reductions in the the export duties, the re-
venue from that source was only 27,053 forms. The
transit duties yielded 82,3701, which were 12,698f1.
more than in the preceding year. There was also
an increase in some of the minor branches of the
customs. On the whole, the total Customs'
receipts were 2,452,4501 more than in 1851. It
is stated in letters from Vienna that the paper
money of the Monarchy is resuming its normal
value. Not only has the exchange on money,
which last year was not less than 20 per cent.,
fallen to 7, but it is asserted that several money-
changers do not receive without difficulty the
pieces of 20 kreutzers in exchange for paper money
or bank notes.

The Weser Gazette publishes the text of the note
addressed by the President of the Germanic Diet
to the Marquis de Tallenay acknowledging the re-
ceipt of the official notification of the accession of
Louis Napoleon to the throne of France. The
note states that the Diet has received with satis-
faction the assurance that the policy of the French
Government, as regards foreign powers, will not
be changed, as it sees in this declaration a guaran-
tee of respect for existing treaties and the mainte-
nance of the 'territorial limits, on which the
political system of Europe and the general peace
depend.

Some of the German translations of the work of
M. de Montalembert, entitled " Des interets Ca-
tholiques au XIX Siècle," have been seized in Ba-
i-aria, in consequence of a passage relative to that
kingdom. The translations in which this passage
is omitted are allowed to be sold freely.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

LAMB ETH.—Hen,ry Gooshall Johnson, alias Captain
Johnson, was again examined, charged with obtaining
upwards of 1,000/. by false pretences from Mrs. Stewart,
a widow lady, at Islington.
Mr. Robinson, who appeared for the prosecution,
called on the prisoner to produce, according to notice
given, documents which he had received from Mrs.
Stewart.

Mr. Parry,
who was for the accused, said his client
had none to produce.
Mr. George Snow was next called, and deposed that
he was clerk to Messrs. Secretors, Brothers, stock-
brokers, of Throgmorton-street, and that Mr. Frederick
Herbert Secreton, one of the partners in the firm, was
stockbroker to the prosecutrix. At the death of Mr.
Stewart a number of railway shares were placed in his
hands for the benefit of Mrs. Stewart, and these re-
mained his hands until the 21st of October last, when
they were given
up to the prisoner, on the written
authority of Mrs. Stewart to the prisoner.
The documents alluded to were as follow :

MONTENEGRO.

1 The Montenegrines have left Szabljak, after hav-
g demolished the fortifications. The Turks, fear-
g that the place was undermined, did not at first
; enture to enter. Two of Prince Daniel's relations
kre dangerously wounded. The Pasha of Scutari
Cas assumed the offensive, and Omar Pasha (the
ommander-in-Chief) is advancing towards the
mountains. The foregoing is taken from the Oest-
iCorrespondenz, and is probably correct. The
Trieste Zeitung says that 1,000 Montenegrines are
still in Szabljak, and that a sanguinary battle had
'aken place, in which the Turks were " mercilessly
'cut to pieces."
