a battle commits acts of cruelty on the wounded
or unresisting shall suffer the punishment of

death."

The Jura, which left Constantinople on the
16th, has arrived here with Government des-
patches, which were forwarded by special train at

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna, of the 21st, says
learn that, as a proof of the excellent understand-
ing which exists between our Court and that of
France, the Emperor Napoleon has sent to the
Emperor of Austria the Grand Order of the Legion
of Honour.
" The English Military Commissioner General
Duplat died here on the 21st of dropsy."

PRUSSIA.
A letter from Berlin, of the 23d, says :—" It is
false that Prince Gortschakoff has been authorised
by his Government to accept unreservedly the four
points, in case he cannot do better."
The young Egyptians, who were placed at Ber-
lin for their education, have just been recalled by
their Government. It is said that this recall has
been caused by the difference which took place not
long since between these young men and the police
of Berlin, and, above all, by the doubtful attitude
of Prussia relative to the Allied Powers.

GARRICK.

This entirely new house, which is situate in Leman-
street, was last night opened for the first time, and ap-
parently in a somewhat unfinished state, as far as the
drop-scene and some of the scenery were concerned ;
but " boxing night" was too tempting a eight for its
inauguration ; and accordingly the curtain drew up upon
Home's well-known tragedy of Douglas, under the title ,
of the Noble Shepherd, or, the Heir of Douglas, which
was followed by a pantomime with the still more ancient
and venerable name of Alfred the Great of England.
Taking into consideration that the house, the scenery,
the machinery, and the company, were all new and
untied, so far as acting together was concerned, the
Garrick made a very respectable debut. It is a
compact, neat theatre, very neatly fitted up, taste-
fully decorated, and well lighted. One of its peculiar
arrangements is, that the stage can be hoisted up to
the flies, and leave in its place an arena, in which it is the
intention of the manager to give equestrian peformances,
and which will be a novelty in this part of the metro-
polis. Hope changes Alfred into Harlequin (Mr. Lewis
Le Vite), Ethelswitha, his beloved princess, into Colutn-
bine (Miss Annie Metriton) ; Despair supplies a troop
nr nur-,,,.r0 ;- -1,--"1---- (."-- r—lffiths\. and two
Clowns (Messrs. 'Knight and Morgan) ; Hope adds a
couple of Sprites ; and the Garrick opens its budget of
fun, which seemed to be relished greatly by an audience
full of the spirit of the season, although somewhat noisy
in their demonstrations of it.

MISCELLANEOUS.

THE CRYSTAL PALACR.—A great number of the holiday
seekers made their way to the Crystal Palace yesterday,
when a selection of music appropriate to the season was
played by the company's band. The Christmas Tree was
a great attraction, and will be no doubt more so to-day,
when a grand military concert, in which several bands
will take part, is to be added to the ordinary bill of fare.
Although the state of the lower part of the grounds was
as heretofore a sea of mud, yet a large number of people
visited the " Extinct Animals," while Mr. Waterhouse
Hawkins, their able restorer, was giving hie annual
dinner to his staff in the workshops, where opportunity
was presented of seeing that gentleman's designs for
keeping up the educational pretensions so valiantly put
forth by the Crystal Palace Company, and which at least
in this department do net seem likely to fall short of
the truly original ideas with which they were com-
menced.

THE COLOSSEUM, REGENT'S-PAM—The Panorama
of London is iaot a work to look at hastily ; it is exe-
cuted with so much fidelity and minuteness of detail, as
not only to challenge attention to even the most distant
features—the domes of Greenwich Hospital, for instance
—but it is calculated to afford a thorough conception of

the topography of this immense capital. The more con-
spicuous features, amongst which are the towers and
spires of Sir Christopher Wren's churches, are admirably
represented. 'The Swiss Cottage and Scenery," the
well-arranged "Architectural Ruins," the " Conserva•
tories," "Caverns," &c., are so naturally represented,
and offer so much matter for observation, that the
thoughtful visitor lingers with pleasure in the midst of
these artificial scenes. Howsoever forbidding the
entrance to the "Caverns" may be, the visitor whe is
bold enough to enter will find himself repaid in what he
sees and hears concerning those wondrous architectural
creations, the " Caverns of Adelsberg." A view of
London by Daylight having been painted, it was a
happy thought to represent the mighty city as seen by
night. The manner in which this idea has been carried
into execution is beyond all praise. London presented
under this dusky mysterious effect offers a marvellous

Government having agreed to the transmission of
whisky duty free to England from Scotland, donations

BERLIN, DEC. 24.

The accounts that reach here from Russian Po
land mention that the 12th serial levy is being car-
ried on with equal energy and cruelty, and that, at
the same time, the lower classes of the population
are compelled to the most arduous labours for the
,purpose of conveyipg to the warehouses and arsenals
the immense stores of provender awl provisions of
all sorts that the upper 'classes have been forced to
contribute. The young and operative generation is
confiscated to the Emperor's military wants ; the
necessary edibles are laid under embargo to meet
the wants of the Commissariat, and the families
who are thus deprived of their effective members
are compelled to give their own services and those
of their teams to convey their lost treasures to the
neighbouring citadels. Their payment they re-
ceive in paper, to come due three days after con-
venient ; their taxes must be paid in hard cash .
Under the circumstances the poor people cannot
even afford the luxury of a hearty curse on their
oppressors, for anything like grumbiing renders
them liable to personal pains and penalties, con-
fiscation of goods and chattels, and to being handed
over to the labour gangs. Warsaw is being turned
into an impregnable keep, and Kiew and Lamosc
into first-class fortifications. Warsaw and its
environs swarm with troops, whose numbers are
being constantly increased ; an army of 20,000 men
is posted between Bialogon and Samsonow, and
another between Keilei and Radom. It is repre-
sented as highly improbable, that the Emperor,
with 50,000 (?) men on the Austrian frontier, will
consent to worse conditions than those which
Prince Gortschakoff was authorised to accept in
Vienna ; and some voices go se far as to assert that
it would very much interfere with Russian plans
and wishes if Europe was to take Russia at her
word. In some correspondences we find that Aus-
tria's signature of the treaty by no means surprised
politicians in Russia ; it had been looked forward
to a long time as probable or possible, but is con-
sidered there to be an empty demonstration. "The
capture of. Sebastopol and the burning of the fleet
will not, it is said, alter the position a hair's
breadth, for still peace cannot be concluded with-
out Russia's consent."
London, England, 1854-12-27

RUSSIA-

The Augsburg Gazette has the following from
Vienna :—" A well-informed :agent who has just
returned from Warsaw has given us the following
information. The Grand Duke, the heir presump-
tive, is to arrive at Warsaw in January, and to pass
the winter there. The Guards continue entering
Poland, and it is probable that, they are all there
at present. Six regiments of cavalry are on the
Bug, and part of the troops who were in the go-
vernments of Lublin and Roda n, to the number of
about 18,000, are passing into Volhynia. Troops
are still marching from the no:rt h to the south.
A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Hamburg
Hews, says :—" The corps of gi •enadiers, as well as
the corps of infantry, will be reinforced by two
battalions for each regiment fro m the depots. This
measure proves that there is Ito idea of peace."

HEALTH OF LONDON DURINO THE WEEK.

(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
The Registrar General's return states, that the deaths
registered in London exhibit a considerable increase,
having risen from 1,154 in the previous week (a number
which the mortality has not much exceeded since the
middle of January) to 1,334 in the week that ended last
Saturday. In the four weeks that followed the middle
of January the mean temperature was 42 deg. ; in the
fifth week it fell to 211 deg., and last week it was
40.9 deg.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1844-53,
the average number of deaths was 1,130, which if raised
in preportion to increase of population, becomes 1,243.
The present return shows an excess above the estimated
amount, of nearly 100.
Complaints of the respiratory organs are the principal
cause of increase. Deaths by bronchitis have risen in
the last two weeks from 121 to 134, those by pneu-
monia from 64 to 82, by asthma from 16 to 30. Hoop-
ing-cough declined in the same time from 83 to 72 ;
croup rose from 9 to 21. At 2, Ocean-row, Ratcliff,
two daughters of a labourer died respectively on 20th
and 23rd February of this latter disease.
The folio wing case was registered last week, but oc-
curred on the 31st December. At No. 4, Blendon-row,
East-street, Walworth, the son of a journeyman shoe-
maker, aged 4 months, died of asphyxia, in consequence
of a cat having laid itself on the mouth and neck of the
child when sleeping in bed.
The number of births registered in the week was
great, amounting to 1,795. Of these 891 were of boys,
904 were of girls. In the corresponding weeks of the
nine years 1845-53 the average number was 1,477.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 30.096 !n. The
highest means were 30.314 in. and 30.319 in. on Thurs-
day and Saturday ; the lowest 29.786 in. on Monday.
The mean temperature of the week was 40.9 deg.,
which is 1.5 deg. above the average of the same week in
28 years. On Sunday the mean temperature was 41
degs. below the average ; during the rest of the week it
was above the average, though for the most part to only
a slight extent. The highest temperature in the week
was 53 degs. on Monday ; the lowest 30 degs. on Sun-
day. The mean dew-point temperature was 33.8 deg.
The wind blew from the north-west and south-west.
There was no fall of rain except on Thursday, when it
was 0.10 in.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.-WINCHESTER, FEB. 28,

CROWN COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin.)
" THE HANDSOME WOMAN."

-- -
Two men, named George Brown and William Knighton,
labourers, were indicted for libel and conspiracy, at
Portsea, on the 6th of April, 1853.
Mr. Poulden, describing the nature of the case to the
jury, created considerable laughter in the court. The
prosecutrix kept a public-house in St. George's-square,
in the town of Portsea. The defendants had formerly
been engaged as railway labourers, or navvies ; but after
residing some little time in the town they opened a beer-
shop almost opposite the house of the prosecutrix, and
some little jealousy was excited between the parties.
After some time had elapsed it transpired that spirits
had been sold at the house of the defendants, and
the prosecutrix's family gave information to the Ex-
cise officers, which led to the detection of the de-
fendants, and a fine of 141. was afterwards inflicted
by the magistrates. As a masterpiece of revenge,
the defendants resorted to the following expedient :
They secured the services of an artist, and a painting
was executed, being an exact likeness of the prosecutrix,
who is not pretty, and throwing out some peculiarities
in her physiognomy supposed to betray propensities for
liquid refreshments. The painting was brought into
court amidst much laughter. It was a large picture.
The defendants had placed this sign on the front of their
house, using it as the "sign" of the beerhouse, it being
surmounted with the words, "The Handsome Woman."
Crowds of people congregated in the locality in conse-
quence, and besides other annoyances, the prosecutrix's
property sustained serious damage. The worst part of
the case against-the defendants was that they had agreed
to take down the painting for a consideration of 261.,
and which sum would have been paid by the prosecutrix
rather than the annoyance should continue, but a soli-
citor advised her otherwise, and the present indictment
VMS preferred.
The juge suggested that the " handsome woman" be
painted out, and so end the case. After the prosecuting
counsel had concluded his speech, a consultation between
the parties ended in the case being arranged by the de-
fendants promising to discontinue all manner of nuisance.
The jury having been directed to find a verdict of
guilty of the libel and not guilty of the conspiracy, the
defendants were ordered to be discharged on their own
recognisances not to repeat the offence.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.

The marriage of Lord George Paget, M.P., youngest
son of the Marquis of Anglesey, with his beautiful
cousin, Miss Agnes Paget, daughter of the late Sir
Arthur Paget, G.C.8., was solemnised on Monday
evening, by special licence, at St. James's Church,
Piccadilly, in the presence of a very numerous family
circle.

The bride came to the church with her mother at
half-past six o'clock, and received in the vestry the
warm c.mgratulations of her friends. She was attended
to the altar by four youthful bridesmaids—the Ladies
Emily and Anne Montagu, daughters of the Earl of
Sandwich ; the lion. Constance Finch•Hatton, daughter
of Viscount Maidstone ; and Miss Paget, daughter of
Lord Alfred Paget.
The service—performed by the Hon. and Rev. Gerald
Wellesley, one of her Majesty's chaplains—was rendered
unusually impressive by the "dim religious" light which
illumined the sacred edifice during its celebration.

Almost all the members of the Paget family were pre-
sent, but the circle was confined to relatives. The noble
marquis, we regret to learn, was not quite well enough
to undergo the fatigue of attending.
After the ceremony, the happy pair left town for
Frognal, the seat of Viscount Sydney, in Kent, where
they aro to pass the honeymoon.

The Duke and Duchess of Montrose entertained the
Earl of Eglinton and a distinguished party at dinner on
Monday evening, in Grosvenor-square.
The Duchess of St. Alban's, and Lady Diana Beau-
clerk, have arrived at Prince's-gate, Kensington Gore,
from a tour.

LEITH OF LADY ELIZABETII LASMILLES.—It is with
regret we announce the death of this amiable and accom-
plished lady, who died at Goldsborough Hall, Yorkshire,
on Sunday, in her 28th year. The lamented lady was
the eldest daughter of the celebrated statesman George
Canning, and married, three years since, Viscount Las-
calico, eldest eon of Earl Harewood, by whom her lady-
*hip has left a youthful family.
