ROYAL GEOGRAPIIICAL SOCIETY.—A Parliamentary
paper, published yesterday, by order of the House of
Commons (Mr. Hume), informs us of a memorial, ad-
dressed by the President and Vice-Presidents of the
Royal Geographical Society to her Majesty's late and '
present Governments, soliciting assistance to enable them
to render the efforts of that society to spread geographical
knowledge more effectual. The memorialists state that
since the foundation of the society in 1830 it has published
no less than 22 volumes of a journal, illustrated with nu-
merous maps of regions previously unknown or imper-
fectly described, and that the labours of the society have
met with the approbation of distinguished geographers
throughout the world. In the prosecution of geogra-
phical researches it has expended no less a sum than
34,0001. sterling in defraying the expenses of intelligent
and experienced travellers engaged in exploring and in-
vestigating distant and unknown regions. Upon certain
conditions, and under certain restrictions, the memorial
suggests the establishment of a " map-office," to which
all persons in the public service should have access for
the purpose of consulting maps, plans, and charts,
which, i
it is conceived, would be a great privilege and
desideratum n. a great commercial and maritime empire
like Great Britain. The memorial is sinned by Sir
Roderick Impey Murchison, president, aneby the Earl
of Ellesmere, Captain George Back, R.N., Sir Wood-
bine Parish, and Captain W. H. Smyth, vice-presidents
of the society.

ITALY.

The Opinione of Turin quotes a letter from
Milan, of the 20th, in which it is stated that the
judicial inquiry now on foot concerning the insur-
rection of February 6, has not as yet afforded a
single clue to bear out the assumption of Mazzini's
having in that attempt met with aid and counte-
nance from higher quarters than his immediate
followers, and that nothing has been elicited to
incriminate the refugees ; those of the constitu-
tional party disclaiming any connexion with Maz-
zini from principle, and the majority of the refu-
gees of the extreme party being loud in their con-
demnation of Mazzini's imprudence. The corres-
pondent adds, that the Austrian government has in
consequence found it expedient to give another turn
to the refugee question, and that Count Rechberg,
who is represented as a kind-hearted man, has
secretly instructed the provincial delegations to
divide the emigrants into three classes—the first
comprising those who absented themselves before
consequenceframn tautiao trial.

DISGRACFUL CONDUCT OF A SURGEON.

Daniel Morgan, who described himself as a surgeon,
of No. 9, Vere-street, Cavendish-square, was placed at
the bar be.ore Mr. Hardwick, charged with being drunk
and indecently exposing himself to several females, at
half-past five this.morning.
Police-sergeant 2 D said he was on duty in Oxford-
street about half-past five this morning, when two re-
spectable females came up to him, and informed him that
they had been grossly insulted by a man near Bond-
street, and on going to the spot he saw the prisoner, who
was very drunk, conducting himself in a manner too
filthy to describe, and at once took him into custody.
The prisoner in defence said he was very drunk at the
time, and had not the least intention of insulting any
female. He entertained the greatest respect for the sex,
and could not possibly act as had been described.
Mr. Hardwick condemned the conduct of the prisoner
as filthy in the extreme, and imposed a fine of 20s. or 21
days.
The fine was paid.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals, of the 20th, are, like those
of preceding days, without political interest. A
decree in the Gazette suppresses the supernumerary
employes of the Ministry of the Interior, and a
number of employes recently appointed ; it also
declares that increase of salaries and presents here-
tofore granted to different employes of that depart-
ment without being mentioned in the budget shall
cease. These reforms will cause an annual saving
of 443,500 reals. By the reforms previously effected
in the Ministry of Finance, 400 employes have been
deprived of their places. The King of Bavaria was
shortly expected in Madrid, and a steamer has
already been sent to Italy to convey him to Barce-
lona or Malaga. It is said that the object of his
journey, is to negotiate a marriage between the
Prince Albert of Bavaria and an Infanta. Accounts

THE LATE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT
AT FARNHAM.

fact. He came to the end of the fencing, and then
jumped from the yard on to the line, and ran along by
the wall until he could catch hold of the old portion of
the fence.

Mr. Edward Matthews, of Farnham, a dealer, was
also examined.

The Coroner then proceeded to sum up. They had
heard that a stipulation had been entered into with the
Board of Trade that only one engine should be on the
line at a time ; and that stipulation appearing to have
been broken, a question would arise between the direc-
tors and the Board of Trade on the subject, with which
they had nothing to do. There could be little doubt
that the survey train being taken for the regular train
was the primary cause of the accident ; but he could not
divest himself of the opinion that the unfortunate de-
ceased himself had been guilty of great negligence and
carelessness. Should they find that blame was attached
to any one, it must be to the Hon. Mr. Scott and Mr.
Beattie, who were on the line in a carriage, without
any apparent motive which should render it necessary
for them to have been there just as another train was
due ; and they must altogether acquit of blame Messrs.
Eaton and Ireton, who appeared to have performed
their duty carefully and properly.
The jury having been in deliberation upwards of two
hours, found a verdict of manslaughter against the Hon.
Francis Scott, M.P., and Mr. Beattie—the verdict
having been agreed to by twelve jury-men, and there
being five dissentients.

ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.—A Parliamentary
paper, published yesterday, by order of the House of
Commons (Mr. Hume), informs us of a memorial, ad-
dressed by the President and Vice-Presidents of the
Royal Geographical Society to her Majesty's late and
present Governments, soliciting assistance to enable them
to render the efforts of that society to spread geographical
knowledge more effectual. The memorialists state that
since the foundation of the society in 1830 it has published
no less than 22 volumes of a journal, illustrated with nu-
merous maps of regions previously unknown or imper-
fectly described, and that the labours of the society have
met with the approbation of distinguished geographers
throughout the world. In the prosecution of geogra-
phical researches it has expended no less a sum than
34,000/. sterling in defraying the expenses of intelligent
and experienced travellers engaged in exploring and in-
vestigating distant and unknown regions. Upon certain
conditions, and under certain restrictions, the memorial
suggests the establishment of a " map-office," to which
all persons in the public service should have access for
the purpose of consulting maps, plans, and charts,
which, it is conceived, would be a great privilege and
desideratum in a great commercial and maritime empire
like Great Britain. The memorial is signed by Sir
Roderick Impey Murchison, president, and by the Earl
of Ellesmere, Captain George Back, R.N., Sir Wood-
bine Parish, and Captain W. H. Smyth, vice-presidents
of the society.

HOUSE OF LORDS--(THIS EVENING.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at 5 o'clock.

The Earl of EGLINTON presented petitions from
places in Scotland, against the Maynooth grant.

LAW OF EVIDENCE.

Lord BROUGHAM, after alluding to certain returns
lately laid before their lordships' house, said he wished
to correct a mistake which these returns might lead
their lordships to fall into, with regard to the working
of his act of 1851, which made parties to a suit capable
of being examined as witnesses. The returns at first
sight seemed to show that the number of cases of per-
jury had increased since the passing of that act. The
fact, however, was quite the reverse. The bill had been
passed into law in the month of November, 1851, and
in the ten previous months of that year the number of
cases of perjury had actually doubled, and the number
since the passing of the act was not greater than, if so
great as, the former average. The noble and learned
lord concluded by moving for certain returns showing
the relative number of convictions in the years 1849;
1850, and 1851.
Lord CAMPBELL said the bill of his noble and
learned friend had been of great advantage to the pub-
lic, and instead of increasing, had greatly decreased the
cases of perjury.
The Duke of CLEVELAND presented a petition
from the Governor of Christ's Hospital, against the
Charitable Trusts Bill.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS BILL.
Earl GRANVILLE moved the second reading of this
bill.

Lord CAMPBELL approved of the bill, and would
be glad to see it pass into law.

After a few words from Lord BEAUMONT and the Earl
of Wics.Low, the bill was read a second time.

FRENCH PLAYS.

Mr. Mitchell took his benefit here last night, and the
esteem in which his talents and abilities as a manager
are held, was fully evinced by the presence of a nume-
rous and brilliant audience ; indeed, the house was
crowded in every part. The chief feature -of the
evening was the revival of Un Mari a la Cam,
pagne, well known to all English playgoers by Mr.
Morris Barnett's adaptation of it under the title of
The Serious Family. Regnier played the persecuted
husband Colombet, with all his usual spirit and
delicacy ; Lafont was the Hector, his sensible
friend ; and Mdlle. Brohan the affectionate and timid
wife. Mdme. Thibaut played the virulently pious and
domineering mother-in-law excellently, and was very
deservedly applauded. The revival was a decided suc•
cess. The piece would bear one or two repetitions were
not the end of the comedy season so near at hand. Le
Bonhomme Tadis was the after piece. On Wednesday
next Mdlle. Rachel makes her first appearance—the last,
we believe, of a long list of great artistes whose talents
have illustrated the present season.

ADDRESS TO MRS. STOWE.

An address from the committee of the Anti-Slavery.
Society to the authoress of Uncle Tom's Cabin was pre-
sented to that lady last night at a soirée arranged for
the express purpose in Willis's Rooms. The largest
room in the building was most inconveniently crowded
bon before the proceedings commenced. By far the
greater number of guests present were ladies, and of
these again the majority were "Friends ;" the long rows
of prim faces and yet more prim apparel being much re-
lieved by the occasional interpolation of a member of
that race the type of which Mrs. Stowe has presented us
with in uncle Tons. When the committee appeared,
conducting Mrs. Stowe to the platform, the whole as-
sembly rose, and offered her a hearty greeting.
Mr. JOSEPH STURGE took the chair, announcing that
he did so in the absence of the Earl of Shaftesbury, who
was prevented from attending.
The SECRETARY having read the address Mr. Sturge
left the chair and handed it to Mrs. Stowe, who bowed
her acknowledgements.
Professor STOWE then addressed the assembly in a
speech of some length, devoted mainly to supporting the
several methods which are proposed by the Anti-Slavery.
Society for the purpose of realizing the complete eman-
cipation of the slave. In conclusion, the learned gen-
tleman thanked his audience for the kind sympathy they
had displayed towards his sister, and for their hearty
assistance to the anti-slavery cause.
The CHAIRMAN, in conducting Mrs. Stowe to the
front of the platform, begged that the ladies and gen-
tlemen present would not attempt to shake hands with
the lady, but content themselves with enjoying the op-
portunity of seeing and addressing her in passing.
The audience willingly complied with the suggestion,
and filed slowly past the platform, expressing their sym-
pathy and respect in bows and smiles.
Mrs. Stowe received this form of ovation with great
courtesy, and certainly with less trouble or pain than
would have attended the :shaking of hands.
When the gratitude and curiosity of all had been
satisfied there was a general move to the tea and supper
rooms, which were soon amply filled, and the good
things in which were discussed with considerable hearti-
ness, notwithstanding the probability that slave grown
sugar formed part of the composition of the " sweets"
provided for the occasion.
It may be mentioned that a marble bust of Mrs.
Stowe, the work of Mr. Burnard, and a striking like-
ness, was exhibited on the platform, and attracted gene-
ral observation and approval.
