their attention to a poposed branch line from Lewisham to
Bromley, six miles in length, and to cost 136,0001. He states

election at the ensuing meeting; and concludes by announc.
ing that the earnings of the last half-year will be at the rate
of 4 per cent. per annum.

MELANCHOLY OCCURENCE.—Yesterday Mr. W. Payne
held an inquest, in St. Thomass Hospital, on the body
of Rosa Rebecca Burgoyne Watts, aged eight months,
a daughter of an artificial flower manufacturer in the
Westminster-road, Lambeth. The evidence proved that
on Monday evening a boy iu the service of Mr. Watts
was nursing the infant during the temporary absence of
the mother, when the lad fell asleep, and the child rolled
off his knee and fell under the grate. The mother was
alarmed by the cries of the child, and on hastening into
the room found the unfortunate creature most frightfully
burned over the neck, chest, and arrus. It was taken
i
to the above institution, where t died the following
morning. The boy acknowledged that he went to sleep
and was the cause of the distressing event, and the jury
returned a verdict of " accidental death."

ITALY.

In its sitting of the 11th the Piedmontese Senate
commenced the discussion of the bill for the modi-
fication of the corn duties, and adopted the first
three articles, comprising the principle of the bill.
The following announcement has been officially
posted at the Exchange of Vienna and at that of
Milan :—" The rumour that the Government in-
tends issuing paper-money in the Lombardo-Vene-
tian provinces, or extending the circulation of
paper-money to those provinces, is utterly false."
The Government of Parma has issued a notifica-
tion dated the 3d, announcing that, in consequence
of new agreements entered into by the States form-
ing the Austro-Modanese and Parmese customs'
league, the free introduction of corn, maize, and
oats into these States is extended to the 31st of
May.
On the 9th, being the anniversary of the procla-
mation of the Roman Republic, a number of papers
having the words Eviva la Republica written on
them were found thrown under the piazzas of some
of the churches and under the porches of several
palaces.
In the evening a murder was committed in one
of the central squares of the city, but it is not con-
sidered to have been in any way connected with
political feelings. With the exception of a few
additional police patrols, everything wore its ordi-
nary appearance in the streets.
Some degree of agitation appears to exist in the
provinces in consequence of the dearness of food.
Riots at Perouse and Ravenna were spoken of, and
it was even reported that a Pontifical soldier had
been killed at the former place, but the despatches
received by the Government not having been made
public, nothing certain was known on the subject.
The question of the railway to Ancona had been
again postponed.
A number of foreigners were arriving at Rome
for the carnival, which opens on the 18th.

of the Diet that the declaration of neutrality bad
been recognised by Russia, France, and England.
A letter from Stockholm says, the armaments
which are going on in the port of Karlskroon are
more extensive than was at first imagined. A great
number of ships of the line and frigates are being
armed, as well as smaller vessels, to be sent on the
coasts. Military credits have been voted, and in
consequence the questions relating to reform have
been placed aside.

other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his flower to correct."
—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. The tribe of 'Quiet Sympa-
thisers,' and • Medical Friends,'are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
zould find its way into the hands of those who stiffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
oe saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhoaa, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

THE WAR ON THE MUNIIBE.

The following letter from the special military
correspondent of the Morning Chronicle, dated
Widdin, Jan. 26, says :
"There has occurred in this quarter no further pas.
sage of arms since the battle of Citale on the 6th. The
Russians have entrenched themselves at Beyleschti and
Motzatze, and send out their patrols as far as Pisko, on
the road to Kalafat, within one hour's march of Pejana,
the advanced Turkish outpost. The Turks have now in
their possession twelve Wallachian villages whose in.
habitants are heart and soul with them. Among the
villagers are a number of frontier soldiers, who, upon
the Turks crossing at Kalafat, at once brought in their
arms to the Pacha. These men still remain in their homes,
and are most anxious to be called out to aid in repelling
the Russians. Pojano, the Turkish advanced outpost is
a village of considerable size, containing 1,200 houses,
and, perhaps, 6,000 inhabitants. Being so thoroughly
unlike an English village, and a fair specimen of a Wal-
lachian one, a description of it may not be uninterest-
ing ; more particularly as very possibly it may be the
scene of an engagement, and as Citale, the scene of
the last, was precisely similar to it. Save two rows of
European looking buildings and a church, the whole of
the habitations are subterranean. They are scattered
about apparently according to the taste of the owners,
no two being connected. Of these houses nothing is
to be seen above ground but a pent roof, with a rude
chimney of wattle and mud, two wretched oiled
paper windows, and a door. The windows and door
are set in the roof like the windows of a garret in Paris,
and the chimney has a flat cover raised on sticks some
inches above the opening, to prevent the entry of rain
or snow. The exterior is either earth or earth colour,
so that the effect on the eye is by no means pleasing.
Near each of these burrows is a stack of Indian corn
cobs, from which the villagers make an abominable
heavy bread called "Malaga," and which, by a 'Wallach,
is preferred to good white bread. Every 100 yards a
well with a ghostly looking machine, acting to our
fashion, on a bucket. A vile breed of the filthiest pigs
dispute possession of the neighbourhood of the houses
-with a troop of barking, cowardly dogs, and a few sheep-
skin-clad peasants complete as miserable a picture as could
be imagined. In the European-looking buildings men-
tioned above are a number of shops, some containing
wretched articles, brought down the Danube probably, a
few being of home manufacture ; others, wine and spirits,
clothing, grocery, &c. A house of some protnal49l4l kl 4

THE PRE,sS OF AUSTRALIA.

The Empire daily journal published at Sydney, though
the youngest of the Australian newspapers, having only
been established in 1350, is announced to be enlarged on
the Ist of January to the size of the London morning
papers. It is to contain fifty-six columns, the charge
for which will remain at threepence. The success of
the Empire affords another unmistakeable proof of the
growing wealth and importance of our Australian de•
pendencies.

GOVERNMENT TRANSPORTS.—It is understood that the
Government have not yet finally arranged the number
of ships they will require for the transport of cavalry
horses, but several are ordered to be surveyed. Among
those presumed to have been accepted are—the Rox-

the recent birth of a princess.
No new arrests had been made in connection
with the recent democratic plot.
The project of diminishing the effective force of
the army by 10,000 men is ascribed to the Minister
of War. This reduction, at such a moment as the
present, would prove that Spain enjoys profound

STATE OF TRADE.

( Front the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, Aug. 18.--The promise of a good sup-
ply of cotton, with its effect in rather weakening that
article at Liverpool, increases the caution of the buyers
of yarns. And the statements from Calcutta, together
with the schedules of the exports just made out on this
side, showing an excess over last year of 30 to 40 per cent.
in goods, have given a further downward tendency to
prices which had previouslyinvolved the makers in serious
loss. The only present chance for these articles is the
possibility that speculators may be tempted to operate by
apparent cheapness. Except, however, in the important
department just referred to, there is a general firmness
in the valae of goods, sustained by a moderate general
demand, and by an expectation that the demand will be
increased by an abundant harvest. As we have before
stated, present values are altogether unremunerative.
Foi the medium and lower counts of yarns, both mule
and water, there continues to be a good general demand
at full prices. The buyers are the home manufacturers,
the continental merchants, and, in a degree, the India
houses.

LEICESTER, Aug. 17.—The autumn demand has com-
menced, and the wholesale houses having given out
their first orders for the season, manufacturers are well
employed.
NOTTINGHAM, August 17.—We cannot announce any
improvement in the condition of either the lace or hosiery
trades for the last week, nor can we reasonably hope for
much now until after harvest, by which time it is fair to
suppose we shall be in receipt of orders from the United
States, as well as others from our various colonies.

DEATH OF LORD BEAUMONT.

We are enabled to correct a misstatement relative to
the death of the above lamented nobleman, which has
appeared in several of our morning contemporaries. His
lordship's death is stated to have been occasioned by
Asiatic cholera. Such is not the fact. His lordship
was attacked with a low fever, which terminated in his
death. The following is the certificate of the medical
gentlemen who attended his lordship down to the time
of his decease :

" We certify that Miles Thomas Lord Beaumont died
at No. 17, Bruton-street, Berkeley-square, at twelve
o'clock on the night of the IGth of August instant, and
that the disease of which he died was fever, terminating
in intestinal perforation.
(Signed) " A. TWEEDIE, M.D., F.R.R.
" WM. POTTS, F.R.C.S."

Miles Thomas Stapleton Lord Beaumont was, in the
female line, the head of a very ancient Roman Catholic
family in Yorkshire, in which the Beaumont peerage
had for a great number of years been in abeyance. The
abeyance was terminated in 1840, in favour of the late
peer, as the sole representative of the elder co-heir,
Joan Lovell Lady Stapleton, elder daughter of Joane de
Beaumont Viscountess Lovell, daughter of William
second Viscount and seventh Baron Beaumont, who
died in the reign of Henry VII. The late peer was
born in 1805, and married in 1344 Isabella Anne, eldest
daughter of Lord Kilnaine, by whom he leaves Henry,
now Lord Beaumont, born in 1843, and two other
children, a son and daughter.—Standard.

PRUSSIA.

Letters from Berlin, of the 15th, state that
Comte Arnim was to set out on the following day
for Vienna, with instructions accord'ng to the pre-
vailing belief, to take part in and s4gn a protocol,
having for its object to express in general terms the
necessity for new guarantees against any fresh
attempts on the side of Russia to endanger the
peace of Europe.
The Russian party displays the greatest activity,
though hitherto without success.

BELGIUM.

The Etoile Beige says :

" Several arrests, which seem connected with politics,
have just been effected at Brussels. M. Victor Consi-
derant, well known as the head of the Phalansterian
doctrine, has been locked up at the Petits-Carmes,
accused, it is said, of having purchased arms for the pur-
pose of organising a plot against the Government. An
arrest which surprises us still more is that of M. Van der
Elst, who fills a high post on the staff of the railway.
It is related of this latter that the police seized at his
office a package sent to him from Liege by a French
political refugee, and in which, it is said, an infernal
machine and a revolving pistol was found. We have to
add that M. Consid6rant declares that he purchased the
arms with a view to sending them to Texas, where it is
positive that he has organised a phalansterium, and M.
Van der Elst, on his side, affirms that he received the
package only to oblige the refugee who sent it, and who
informed him that it contained s6ap. On the other
hand, says the Independance, we are assured that the
person who sent the case to M. Van der Elst is not a
French refugee. But, beside M. Considerant, there is
another French refugee arrested, as well as the person
who sent the package, containing not an infernal ma-
chine, but about half a score of small bombs of a particu-
lar kind. The manufacturer of these bombs has also been
arrested." _ _

Ina subsequent number, the Etoile Belge adds
to the above statement. "It is said that M. Bru-
net (de l'Argentiere), formerly an officer in the
French army, and who has been living at Brussels
for several months, but who is not a political refu-
gee, had ordered from M. Sanders, a manufacturer
of arms, certain incendiary tubes. This order is
said to have been given in a letter enclosing a re-
mittance of 60fr. on account. In this letter is
said to be the following phrase, As to M. Victor
Considerant, I prefer that you should speak to
him yourself.' This phrase, it appears, is the only
indication to connect M. Considerant with the plot,
if plot there be."

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

CANTERBURY.
CANTERBURY, Friday Evening.—The poll demanded
by the lion. C. Lennox Butler and Messrs. Cooper and
Glover, took place to-day, between the prescribed hours.
eight and four. Although a good deal of interest and
excitement was manifested, the utmost good feeling pre-
vailed throughout the day. In sonic instances the
bribery oath was administered, principally to those
' electors who had been known to have received bribes on
previous occasions. The contest rested entirely between
Sir W. Somerville, the Hon. C. Lennox Butler, and Mr.
Lushington ; the state of the poll at eleven o'clock was,
according to Sir W. Somerville's committee—
Somerville
193
Lushington 192
Butler
191
Cooper
123
Glover
There was very little variation in the distance between
the first three named candidates during the greater part
of the day. Mr. Glover retired at one o'clock, having.
had only 41 votes, which fact he attributed to "the un-
worthy practices" which had been brought to bear
against him.
The Sheriff declared the state of the poll as follows :
Lushington 729
Somerville
• Butler
671
Cooper 403
Glover 4l
Messrs. Somerville and Lushington have addressed
the electors, All quiet.
