SWITZERLAND.

The military department intends to call the
cavalry of all the cantons that supply it to a new
course of instruction for this year. Great activity
prevails in the military school at Thoune, under
Colonel Zimmerli. The officers under instruction
there may even be said to be harassed with work.
Professor Lohbauer is lecturing on tactics and
strategy ; Colonel Hofstetter, on internal service ;
Captain Schumacher, on field-works ; and Instruc-
tor Ribi is making experiments with the new
rifle. A recent decree allows the commanders of
divisions, battalions, and colitpagnies free postage
for the whole duration of actual service.

In consequence of the Austro-German Zollverein
having brought the number of words of a simple
telegraphic despatch to twenty-five, the Swiss au-
thorities have established a charge of lf. for 25
words ; 2f. for 50 ; and 3f. for 100.

BURSTING OF AN ENGINE BOILER.

On Sunday morning an accident of a most alarming
and serious nature occurred on the south branch of the
Midland Railway, by the bursting of the boiler of an
engine attached to a goods train, the engine (No. 142),,,
which was a four-wheeled one, built by Berry, of Liver-
pool, had taken the 8.30 p.m. passenger train on Satusday
from Nottingham to Leicester, and then returned to
Kegworth, about twelve miles from Derby, to await
the arrival of the goods train from London, which is
divided there, one portion being conveyed to Derby, the
other to Nottingham. The engine was intended to
draw that portion of the train destined for Nottingham.
The goods train from London arrived at Kegworth in
due time, but did not proceed forward in consequence of
having to wait for the passing of the down mail train,
due at Kegworth at 1.13 a.m. on Sunday. About ten
minutes past one, however, the engine boiler burst with
a terrific report, at which time the stoker was standing
on the engine, and the driver by the side of it, talking
to one of the porters. They both received very severe
injuries, which, in the case of the driver, will most pro-
bably prove fatal. The engine was a perfect wreck.
The down mail train arrived shortly after the explosion,
and the driver and stoker were placed in it, and con-
veyed to the Derbyshire Infirmary. It was stated at
the infirmary on Monday morning that the driver had
received such severe injuries that very great doubts were
entertained of his recovery. One of his eyes was knocked
out, his right arm broken, his nose broken, and other
severe injuries. The stoker, it is thought, will recover.
The driver and stoker are brothers, named Louis and
John Cooke, are very steady men, and have been in the
company's service several years.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,

GUILDHALL.—Mr. M acnamara, omnibus proprie-
tor, appeared before Mr. Alderman Moon upon an ad-
journed summons requiring him to produce William
Davis, a person in his employ, against whom there were
two complaints made by Mr. Walton, of Ludgate-street,
one for misbehaviour in refusing to admit complainant
into the Barnet omnibus, and another for refusing to
show his badge when requested.
Alderman Moon asked complainant if the omnibus
was in the yard of the Post office when he demanded
admittance? _ _

Mr. Walton said it stood there while the passengers
took their places.
Alderman Moon said then it was evidently standing
in private property, and was not for public use until it
pulled out of the yard. If Mr. Walton had waited until
it arrived in front of the Post-office or in Nev gate-
street, and demanded a place in it, then he could deal
with the defendant if he had refused to take him, and
there had been room in the omnibus for him.
Mr. Walton urged upon the magistrates consideration
the fact of the Post-office yard being used as a
terminus.
Alderman Moon said he could not admit such to be
the fact, because the yard was locked up every night,
and Mr. Macnamara might be deprived of the privilege
at any moment at the option of the Post-office authori-
ties. He therefore thought there was no case against
Mr. Macnamara's servant. The public were much in-
debted to Mr. Walton for his endeavours to correct the
abuse complained of ; but if Mr. Macnamara did abuse
his privilege, he had no doubt the Postmaster General
would withdraw it on being informed to that effect.
Mr. Macnamara denied that he was in the habit of
rejecting passengers who might be thought obnoxious.
His omnibus was licensed to carry ten persons, all of
whom had paid their fares on the day mentioned in the
morning, so that the vacant places were kept for them.
He would be very sorry to have it supposed that
strangers would not be allowed to take a place in the
omnibus while it was standing in the yard. However,
I he would take care Mr. Walton should have nothing to,
complain of for the future.
The summonses were than dismissed.

BOW-STREET.—Daniel Lloyd, upwards of nine
years a letter-carrier in the Holloway district, was
charged with stealing a letter containing two sovereigns,
and with having as many as 70 other letters in his pos-
session.

Mr. Sculthorpe, president of the London District
post-office, deposed to having enclosed two marked
sovereigns and sixpence in a letter, which he addressed
to a young lady at Plymouth, and caused to be posted
at the branch office kept by Mr. W. Milson, chemist,
in the Caledonian-road. Tho frequency of complaints
respecting the loss of letters in the neighbourhood had
indile-d him to employ this method of testing the honesty
of the servants. The letter in question should have
arrived at St. Martin's-le-Grand between 1. and 2 o'clock,
but, on examining the bag forwarded by Mr. Milson,
the letter sent by Milson, and two others, were fovnd

FOUNDERING OF TWO AMERICAN PACKET

SHIPS.

Within the last few days two heavy losses have been
reported on the books at Lloyd's, which have excited
considerable attention.' By the arrival, in the middle
of the week, of the American mail, advices were re-
ceived from New York of the loss of the ship Prince
Albert, while on a voyage from that city to Hamburg.
It appears that she encountered very formidable wea-
ther on the Ist of December. Her masts were carried
away, her leakage was considerable, and she was '
otherwise in a most distressed position.. Her con-
dition became worse, and the captain commenced
to adopt the necessary measures for the preserva-
tion of all on board. On the 4th of December,
while in lat. 29, long. 60, the Orinocohadnd been
espoken
asome
with. She bore down to theinr,
aid, ars and crew of the
difficulty the whole of the Passe
sinking ship were got off to her. The Prince Albert had
abandoned, was water-
logged. her rudder, and,
when
There is little doubt that she must haveas foun-
dered shortly afterwards. It is somewhat remarkable
that when the news of the wreck was received, the editor
of the Shippi Gazette mistook her for another ship of
ng
the same -name—the Prince Albert of London, an
American packet ship, consigned to Baring Brothers,
and inserted the Captain s name as Bradish, the name
of the commander of the latter. This brought a commu-
nication from Messrs. Phillips, Lowther, and Co., bro-
kers to the London Prince Albert, denying that that was
the ship that was lost. The correction was duly made,
but, curiously enough, on the following morning, the
loss of this very ship was telegraphed from Liverpool,
and under precisely similar circumstances as her
namesake. She was on her passage to London, with 16
passengers, and a valuable and general cargo, when she
encountered a fearful gale about the same period as the
former ship ; and her captain, Mr. Bradish, was com-
pelled to abandon her in 48.15. Her perilous position
was observed by the Norfolk, which succeeded in rescu-
ing those on board, and eventually landed them at
Queenstown. A communication was read on Saturday
from Lloyd's agent, at St. Michael's, intimating that a
ship, answering the Prince Albert's description, had
been seen by the Vesper, which had arrived at the
island. The reporter applied to Messrs. Phillips and
Lowther, in the course of Saturday, for the purpose
of ascertaining whether any additional information had
been received ; but the application met with rather an
uncourteous refusal. The ship and cargo are very
heavily insured. ,

ODESSA.—Telegraphic intelligence was received yes-
terday afternoon from Odessa confirming the anticipated
fall in the rates of freight. The rate for grain, which a
few weeks back was 255. per quarter, has now receded to
12s. 6d. This will operate favourably upon the supplies
of food to France, Italy, and elsewhere.

The rumours which have been circulated of the
secession of Austria from co-operation with the
other Powers in negotiation, are false. At Vienna
on the 12th, an article of the -semi-official Lloyd's
was received by the public with great favour. The
gist of the article was hostile to Russia. This had
produced a great sensation.

ITALY.

A letter from the Papal States of the 7th inst.,
declares that extreme desolation and consternation
prevail in the Romagna, in which the inhabitants
live in constant terror of robbers, and dare not
quit their houses after night fall. The theatre is
deserted at Faenza. Wheat sells at the market of
Ravenna at 53f. the sack of 115 litres. The autho-
rities at Lugo had compelled the farmers to sell
their wheat at 20 per cent. less than the market
price. The local authorities of Faenza had for-
bidden the exportation of corn from the district.
The consequence is, that the market is closed, and
were it not for the markets of Foili and Ravenna
the inhabitants of the Romagna would be exposed
to die of hunger.

Teror desires peace.

" Tile vine covered hills

Song of healthful labour, are the happy scenes
fl which he delights to dwell, ill-e-;than
for the desolated I.ands3ape where ITirid glory
trembles on the grave, and victx.y summons
the vulture to its banquet. His tastes all savour
of a different character. To eA11.46i-cate art—to en-
courage manufacture—to speed the industry—
increase the commerce—supply the wants, and
develop© the resources of Ole country. These are
amongst his dearest aspira tipns • and they are the
objects of a blest ambit'Lon, the truest and most
enduring trophies of aF, Avereign. The first Napo-
leon, indeed, waved I.iis flag over every capital of
the Continent, but 1, ,e esteemed it as evanescent
triumph, when corr Lpared. with the code which has
immortalised his w isdern, or those marvellous ope-
rations which l'iaTre made the Alps his monument.
These were tb.o recollections most precious to him
inthevioissit'Aicle of his fortune, and such recollections
leis successor seems intent upon securing. In all
his progresses, you will find each visit attested by
motile Improvement. Evident everywhere, this
spirit is naturally most visible in Paris. Pause

races ! There, alleys transformed. into streets—

"These are imperial• arts and worthy Kings."

This, in the commencement of a reign is much,
but, already he has found time for more. What
a lesson of charity and toleration has he taught to
some of the worn out, worm-eaten dynasties around
him ! While they, the " right divine" men, seal
up the Bible and bar the dungeon door upon its
readers--nay, more, while they carry their ven-
geance 'beyond death, and refuse even a burial to
their fellow-Christians, he respects the consciences
of mankind, and has just granted, on their own
request, a cemetery to the Mussul-mans. Nor has
he forgotten, in another instance, what was equally
due to the feelings. of his people and the honour of
his throne. If

AUSTRIA.

The rumours which have been circulated of the
secession of Austria from co-operation with the
other Powers in negotiation, are false. At Vienna
on the 12th, an article of the semi-official. Lloyd's
was received by the public with great favour. The
gist of the article was hostile to Russia. This had
produced a great sensation.

might be followed, and that they should:be :Made

The same letter states that a recent- measure

that has been 'att6pted at all times in similar !cir-

moment he heard of the recent decision adoPtedut.
Constantinople, orders to all the ships in the Black
Sea to make for the port of Sebastopol, and who in-
forthed all the captains of the maritime places that
they must prohibit the Russian merchant ships froM
going to sea till further orders. Those measures
were not, it is said, adopted in consequence of in-
structions from Vienna, and no argument can be.

Russia. I -

journals have spread the report that the under-
standing established between the Four Power§ On
the affairs of the East was seriously compromised
in consequence of the latter resolutions of France

but, according to news from Germany; the confer-
ence of Vienna in a new protocol, signed on the
13th of this month, has recorded unanimously !that
the answer of the Stiblime Porte to the communi-
cation of the representatives of France, Austria,
England, and Prussia, at Constantinople, was .i6m-
pletely satisfactory, and expressed confidence that

adhere to the basis on which Turkey was ready to
treat for 'the re-establishment of peace."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GIIILDHALL.—Mr. Macnamara, omnibus proprie-
tor, appeared before Mr. Alderman Moon upon an ad-
journed summons requiring him to produce William
Davis, a person in his employ, against whom there were
two complaints made by Mr. Walton, of Ludgate-street,
one for misbehaviour in refusing to admit complainant
into the Barnet omnibus, and another for refusing to
show his badge when requested.
Alderman Moon asked complainant if the omnibus
was in the yard of the Post office when he demanded
admittance?

Mr. Walton said it stood there while the passenger*
took their places.
Alderman Moon said then it was evidently standing
in private property, and was not for public use until it
pulled out of the yard. If Mr. Walton had waited until
it arrived in front of the Post-office or in Newgate-
street, and demanded a place in it, then he could deal
with the defendant if he had refused to take him, and
there had been room in the omnibus for him.
Mr. Walton urged upon the magistrates consideration
the fact of the Post-office yard being used as a
terminus.
Alderman Moon said he could not admit such to be
the fact, because the yard was locked up every night,
and Mr. Macnamara might be deprived of the privilege
at any moment at the option of the Post-office authori-
ties. He therefore thought there was no case against
Mr. Macnamara's servant. The public were much in-
debted to Mr. Walton for his endeavours to correct the
abuse complained of ; but if Mr. Macnamara, did abuse
his privilege, he had no doubt the Postmaster General
would withdraw it on being informed to that effect.
Mr. Macnamara denied that he was in the habit of
rejecting passengers who might be thought obnoxious.
His omnibus was licensed to carry ten persons, all of
whom had paid their fares on the day mentioned in the
morning, so that the vacant places were kept for them.
He would be very sorry to have it supposed that
strangers would not be allowed to take a place in the
omnibus while it was standing in the yard. However,
lie would take care Mr. Walton should have nothing to
complain of for the future.
The summonses were then dismissed.

BOW-STREET.— Daniel Lloyd, upwards of nine
years a letter-carrier in the Holloway district, was
charged with stealing a letter containing two sovereigns,
and with having as many as 70 other letters in his pos-
session.

_
Mr. Sculthorpe, president of the London District
Post-office, deposed to having enclosed two marked
