TURIN.

The Parlamento of Turin states from Milan, 9th
inst., that a democratic club has been discovered
there by the police, and about 20 of its members
arrested. Many domiciliary visits ha vo followed,
which have led to the discovery of a few stilettoes
and prohibited pamphlets ; but the charge of high
treason is not yet clearly made out.

BRISTOL SUGAR—JAN. 21.
We continue to experience a steady market, and West
India parcels meet

of business might have been done at the currencies

pretty good, and importers submitting to easier rates, 0
considerable business has been effected. In the refined
market, business is quiet, but as yet manufacturers haVe been firm to the previous values. Tho demand for rum 10
sluggish, but there has been no alteration in prices since

BIRMINGHAM, JAN. 21.

---
STOCK EXCHANGE.—The Railway Share market opened
heavily this morning. The derangement of French mone-
tary affairs, and the increase of the discount of the Bank
of England, are assigned as the original causes. The trans-
actions to-day were altogether unimportant.

with prices without alteration. Bristol and Exeters were

LIEUTENANT HOLMAN, R.N., THE BLIND TRAVELLER.
—A paragraph having appeared in a weekly periodical,
published in London, wherein an allusion is made to the
death of Lieutenant James Holman, of the Royal Navy,
the celebrated blind traveller, we are authorised, on the
part of the relatives of that
fficer, to assure his numer-
ous friends residing in Cheltenham that there is no foun-
dation whatever for this statement. Letters, dated the
Ist of January in the present year, are in possession of
an intimate friend of Lieutenant Holman—Lieutenant
General Wright, now in Cheltenham—as well as the
brother, Captain William Holman, of the Royal navy,
and which letters are from B'oulogne-sur-Mer, in
France ; and at the date alluded to Lieutenant
'Hol-
man was in health, and preparing for publication a nar-
rative of some of his extraordinary travels, we believe,

DENMARK.

It is stated that the elections for the Volksthing
are fixed, by the King's letters patent, for the
26th February, and that the Diet will be convoked
as early as possible, most probably on the 6th
March. The Dagblaelet states that a note has lately
been received from the Germanic Diet, to the effect
that the federal army is to be augmented in the
proportion of 50,000 men, and inviting the Govern-
men, in consequence, to • raise the contingent of
Holstein. The Council of State has not yet come
to any resolution on the subject. -
A letter from Copenhagen of the 14th, in the
Prussian Gazette, says :—" It was rumoured here
that the Danes of the Eider intended making a
demonstration in favour of the Volksthing lately
dissolved. They were, it was said, to proceed to
the new market-place, and shout in its favour.
Nothing whatever of the kind took place. The
Government sent this day to the Duke of Augus-
tenberg his plate, which has been lying at the bank
since 1848. The paper of Councillor Verstedt on
the succession has appeared ; it combats the articles
which were published on the subject in the Ftalre-
lander, and the assertions of Baron Holnifeldt on
the nullity in point of law of the hereditary preten-
sions of the Holstein-Gottorp branch to the grand
ducal part of Holstein."

AUSTRALIA.

We have received three days' later news from
Melbourne (South Australia), viz., to the 15th
November inclusive, which possesses considerable
interest :

THE COLONY OF VICTORIA.
( From the Melbourne Argun, of November 15.)
The yield of gold still continues very large, al-
though it scarcely keeps pace with the increasing
number of diggers. It is not to be supposed, however,
that the gold is inexhaustibly abundant, and can be
always obtained by the simplest processes. It is
evident that in proportion as a given locality is
worked, the necessity for finer scientific modes of
operation will increase. That necessity is beginning
to be felt at the most prolific fields, and the average
gain of the digger is observably diminishing. Gold
digging is of all pursuits the most fortuitous, not
only with respect to individual success, but in re-
gard to the auriferous capabilities of given localities.
The wealth of a particular spot cannot be known
till it is fully worked, and this involves the neces-
sity of unsuccessful labour in some cases. Hence
arise the fluctuations in the pursuit—the alternate
success and failure of individuals, and the changing
value of particular localities. That gold does abound
to a most surprising extent every one admits, but it
is not so easy to point out the spot in which the
digger can work with certain success. The whole
pursuit seems to be a series of experiments at best;
the marvel is that here they should have been so
amazingly successful.
The average amount brought down by Govern-
moat escort still keeps up to nearly 100,000 ounces
a week ; but at the same time it must be borne in
mind that the number of diggers have increased by
some thousands.
The largest mass of gold yet found was picked up
a month ago at Bendigo, near the spot where the
281 b. lump was found. It weighed 461 b., and was
valued at 2,1001. It was a singular specimen deeply
coated with quartz in many places. It has been
sent to England by the Ch •owrin ghee, for exhibi-
tion.

The Ovens Diggings are not proving as produc-
tive as was at first anticipated. The experiment,
however, has not been fully carried out there. The
general impression seems to be that there is a very
rich field in that district.

and prohibited pamphlets ; but the charge of high
treason is not yet clearly made out.

LAW OF EVIDENCE AND PROCEDURE BILL.
Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of this
bill. The objects proposed by this bill were, first, to
amend the law with respect to the admission of the evi-
dence of husband and wife, and to allow them to be
called against each other in all cases except those which
might be deemed privileged communications ; the second
object was to take away the privilege which witnesses at
present possess—of refusing to give answers to questions
which they might think might criminate themselves,
giving them however an assurance that their testimony
should not be used against them on any future occasion.

THE SHOEBLACK SOCIETY.— Yesterday the boys of the
"polishing brigade," clad in their well-known red uni-
form, together with 27 girls from the Female Refuge, in
Dorchester-place, paid a visit to the Panorama of Hin-
dostan, in Baker-street. The museum in connection
with the exhibition was also opened to the little visitors,
who were much delighted with this collection of curiosi-
ties from our Eastern Empire. It is gratifying to find,
that this mode of employing boys in the street has been
successfully introduced into Dublin (where there are 26
" shoebla,cks " and " broomers "), Brighton, Liverpool,
York, and even Alexandria, where these useful public
servants appear on the pavement, as symptoms of the
assimilation between Egypt and Europe. The success of
the Shoeblack Society as a, reformatory institution, may be
learned from; the evidence concerning its operation-con-
tained in the Blue-book lately issued by the committee on
juvenile delinquency. At the end of the second year of
its existence, the total receipts ,of the society are found
4to be 1,5001. *--

WIGTON.

This committee sat this morning at half-past eleven—
Mr. Miles, ohairman—and the examination of witnesses
in support of the petitioners was proceeded with.
James Galbraith was called to prove the circumstances
detailed in Mr. James's opening speech, viz., that he had
promised to vote for Caird—that then the agents of Sir
J. M‘Taggart had put a distress on his house, and had
then prevented him to sell his house, and by this means
he had lost his vote.

Mr. Rose, Q.C., objected to this witness being exa-
mined. The learned counsel argued the point at con-
siderable length, and Mr. Slade was replying when our
report left.

SOUTHAMPTON.

The committee re-assembled at 11 o'clock this morning.
The Chairman directed Bower, the witness who re-
fused to take the oath yesterday, to be brought up.
Bower was introduced, and still refused to take the
oath.

The Chairman said that he must therefore order him
+o be confined. If, however, he should alter his mind,
he should be released.
He was then removed.

Mr. Harman, proprietor of the Hampshire Indepen-
dent, was then called, and stated that he had been
chairman of the committee of Sir Alexander Cock-
burn and Mr. Wilcox. Mr. Andrews had been in the
committee-room twice. After the election, 1,3001. had
been placed to his audit at his bankers by the two
sitting members to pay the accounts. Some of the ac-
counts were disputed. Mr. Andrews was present at
the meeting in the Riding-school, where Sir Alexander
Cockburn spoke.
London, England, 1853-03-10

PRUSSIA.

Public attention in Germany has for some time
past been fixed on a prosecution instituted by. the
Government of Baden against Professor .Gervinus
for high treason, for having published an " Intro-
duction to the History of the Nineteenth Century."
The tendency of the work was to prove from the
past that, by natural historical development, Ger-
many is destined to becOme united and republican ;
but this work was of an exclusively philosophical
character. M. Gervinus has just been tried by the
Criminal Court of Mannheim. In his defence he
denied that, as an historian treating an historical
subject, he Could by any possibility be guilty of
treason ; but he declared his determination, what-
ever might be the result of the trial, to continue to
write history according to his convictions. By a
telegraphic dispatch from Mannheim, we learn
that the Professor has been acquitted of the charge
of high' treason, but condemned to ten months'
imprisonment for exciting to sedition : and his
work has been ordered to b 3 destroyed.
Next mouth a new kind of paper money is to be
in circulation in Prussia ; the present notes are to
be called in. _ .

The Cologne Gazette states that a manufactory
of forged Russian bank-notes, on an extensive
scale, has been discovered at Berlin. The princi-
pal person engaged in this affair has been arrested.
The Grand Council of Basle, in its sitting of the
7th, ratified the treaty concluded with the Baden
Government for the prolongation of the Baden
railroad through Switzerland.

In the Prussian. Chamber of Deputies, on the 7th
instant, the Government were defeated by 180
votes to 130 on the third article of the ground-tax
law, pro vididing an indemnity for the dispossessed
nobility. The majority would allow of no in-
demnity, and the Government announced the
abandonment of the law altogether.
London, England, 1853-03-10

for the oppressed, at the same time that it has
forced the neighbouring countries to prepare for
resistance. The Swiss Federal Council has voted
a law by which 25,000 men of the army of the Con-
federation are to be called out. The Piedmontese
Government has resolved to make a representation
to the Austrian Government in favour of Lombard
emigres who have become Piedmontese subjects, on
the ground that the sequestration of the property
of these persons is contrary to the law of nations.
Switzerland is, on ita side, to make similar repre-
sentations, so that there is every probability of
some serious political complications in that quarter.
The Piedmontese Governnient denies, through
its constituted organ, that any restrictive change
in the laws regulating the press is intended.
Political executions continue to take place in
various parts of Italy, and Austria appears to be
ruling the people with a rod of iron.
The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the 4th an-
nounces that the refugees of Lombardy who have
been naturalised in Piedmont have applied to the
Sardinian Government for protection against the
effects of sequestration decreed by Austria. The
same paper adds, that the Government, after taking
the advice of eminent lawYers, has remonstrated at
Vienna on the subject, and communicated this step
to the British and French Governments.

Count Toggenburg, Imperial Lieutenant of
Venice, has continued, until further orders, all the
prohibitions concerning the press, which were in
force in .1852.
