CROWN COURT.—(Before Chief Justice WILDE.)
Robert Prime, aged 25, was indicted for maliciously
cutting and wounding William Whitton, at Denham,
with intent to disable and to do him some grievous
bodily harm.
Mr. Maule conducted the case for the prosecution;
Ur. E. Rodwell appeared for the prisoner.
The prosecutor, who is a small farmer, upwards of 85
years of age, stated that a neighbour named Canlen
having contracted to do the horse work for him on his
farm, sent the prisoner on the 29th of June last with a
pair of horses to " harrow" a certain field. As the pri-
soner was about to leave the field, the prosecutor re-
marked that he had not done it properly, and requested
him to re-yoke his horses, and do it again. The pri-
soner, however, declined to allow the prosecutor to do
it himself, and after a short altercation the old man
and the young man " fell a crowding each other;"
in other words, they collared each other by the neck,
and a regular scuffle ensued, in the midst of which,
old as he was, the prosecutor must have got the
best of it, for the prisoner called out that ho
would " stab him in the body if he did not
let go." The prosecutor on this saw a knife in the hand
of the prisoner, and fearing that
_he would carry his
threat into execution, he put aside his right hand with
his left, while he held him at arm's length with his right
hand. The prisoner being thus foiled in his intentions,
exclaimed, " I'll cut your right hand off ;" and at the
same moment he drew his knife across the old man's
wrist. This attack, of course, made the prosecutor re-
linquish his hold, and the prisoner, without saying
another word, made off to the hedge, over which he
leapt and soon got out of sight. The prosecutor,
though severely wounded, continued the harrowing, and
having finished it, went to a friend of his, who had been
two years " boy" to a doctor about sixty years ago, and
by his advice he applied some mixture of herbs to the
wound. This, however, did not do much good ; possi-
bly the ancient " doctor's boy" may have ill treated the
case. But the wrist grew as big as the prisoner's head;
on which a real doctor was called in. By his treatment
the pain and swelling were relieved, and he pronounced
that the case was going on as well as could be. But
the prosecutor now stated that he had not the perfect
use of his wrist, and felt a constant numbness in his
thumb.

The jury having found the prisoner Guilty,
His LORDSHIP declined to pass sentence on him at
present.
Thomas Co'ton, aged 18, wes indicted for breaking
into the dwelling-house of Mary Thompson, at Bury
St. Edmund's, on the 16th of November last, and steal-
ing therefrom six silver teaspoons, a silver watch, and
some coppers.

There 'kin.. no Counsel fur the prosecution,
The CHIEF JUSTICE took occasion to reprobate the
omission to retain Counsel in so serious a case. The
prisoner was not defended; and no Judge ought to be
subjected to the double burden of conducting the prose-
cution and the defence too. Ile must, therefore, beg
that the senior Counsel present would examine the wit-
❑esses for the prosecution.
Mr. DASENT accordingly called the prosecutrix, and
from her statement it appeared that she and her niece,
being the only occupants of her house, they quitted it
on Nov. 16, at halt-past six in the evening to go to
church, locking and securing all the doors and windows.
As they went out they saw " Jolly Dick," the lamp-
lighter, who was lighting a gas lamp just opposite their
house. On the return of the ladies, they discovered
that the gas-lamp bad been extinguished, and on enter-
ing the house, Mrs. Thompson ascertained that the
house had been forcibly entered from behind by the
removal of a cellar window (to do which a chain was
snapped asunder). A further search disclosed to the
prosecutrix that her old watch and half a dozen silver
spoons had been carried off, the thief having, no doubt,
made his escape over a low wall bounding a back garden.
No tidings was heard of the stolen property till the month
of January, when the watch was traced to a pawn-
broker's shop, where it had been pawned for 10s. by the
prisoner, in the name of " Ch. Catton," i❑ which he had
on former occasions pledged a few articles of clothing.
Under these circumstances the prisoner was taken into
custody, and recognised by the lamplighter as a man
whom ho bad seen loitering about the house of Mrs.
Thompson while the lamp was being lighted.
The jury having found the prisoner guilty of this
charge, and also of a previous conviction,
His LORDSHIP observed that it was evidently useless
to think of inflicting any mild sentence on such an
offender. The judgment of the Court, therefore, was,
that ho should be transported for seven years.
When this sentence was passed the fellow drew his
breath in with a long shrill whistle, and in the most cool
manner thanked his Lordship.

CIVIL SlDE.—(Before &r. Justice WILLIANS and a
Special Jury.)

THE COMMISSIONERS OF GREENWICH HOSPITAL V. SIR

EDWARD lILACKETT AN!) ♦NOTIIER.

This was an action of trover. The declaration stated
that the plaintiffs were possessed of large quantifies of
minerals in the county of Northumberland, and that the
defendants found and converted them to their own use;
to which the defendants pleaded, denying the possession
of the plaintiffs.
After a long investigation, the jury intimated that they
had quite made up their minds that the lands were free-
hold.
Mr. KNOWLES said, after that intimation, he would
not persist in the case, nor exercise his right of reply.
The Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital had done
what they belt it was their duty to do, and the defendant
had proved Lie freehold title.
Verdict accordingly for the defendants.
CROWN COURT.—(l3efore Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN.)
Christina_ Horinshq, aged 26, was imdictrd for tt,
wilful murder of her husband, William liornasby, by ad-
ministering arsenic to him in a posset.
It appeared that the deceased, who was a pitman, bad

been married to the prisoner about seven ye3rs, and they
appea red to live affectionately together. At Christmas
last eae deceased was unwell. On the 4th of April the
deceaised walked to Alston, a distance of fourteen miles,
returning on the 14th. On his Ray back be complained
of being unwell. He was attended by Dr. Garner, of
Halts Thistle, till the 25th of April, but died on the 27th,
it was thought by his medical man of a pulmonary
complaint, and a certificate to that effect was given by
him. Rumours having been spread that he had died of
body,poiscet and, a
ipnohstis-minotretsetmineesxwamerie fnatoiuonnd
of suilpburat of arsenic, five of which were sufficient to
was
thirty-two made
grains o ftare
destroy life. It appeared that at the house where the
deceased and the prisoner lodged on the 23d of April,
the pirisoner asked a charwoman, named Ruth Hether-
ingtom, if she knew where there was a chemist's
shop, and begged her to get some allelic, as her
husband had found a bug on his shirt, and
there were more in the bed, and train oil and arsenic were
the best means of destroying them. On the 25th cf
April Ruth Hetherington purchased four pennyworth of
arsenic and took it to the prisoner's lodgings next clay.
The prisoner said the deceased was poorly, and asked
her, if she had got it," and upon the arsenic being
given to her, told the witness (Hetherington) she would
have occasion for her help some day to put it on. She
then washed out a little pan which was on the floor, and
said, "I must give William (the deceased) some boiled
milk." The prisoner made no secret about purchasing
the arsenic. There was no evidence how the arsenic
which produced the deceased's death had been admi-
nistered ; but witnesses stated that they had heard the
prisoner sly, about Easter Monday, that she had got
bad thoughts into her head, and that she was wearing a
widow's bonnet. There was no evidence of any un-
kindness or bad feeling between the prisoner and the
deceased, and she appeared to suffer much grief at
his death,

Mr. Sergeant WILKINS addressed the jury for the
defence, relyiog on the want of any apparent motive in
the prioner to commit such a deed, and on the com-
fortable and happy Wins on which she appeared to
with her husband.—
The jury found the prisoner Not Guilty.

TnE QUEEN'S COLLEGE, BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.
—The Rev. Dr. Warneforcl has just contributed
another 1,0001. towards promoting the interest of the
above institution, being the third thousand which has
been given by that distinguished divine to the funds of
the college. The 1,000/, now given is towards an en-
dowment of the Professorship of Pastoral Theology,
and was a-Inounced Vesti relay at a special mccting of the
council by Professor Stalls Cox. On the motion of
Edward T. Cox, seconded by Mr. Armfield, the thanks
of the meeting were carried with applause to Dr. Warne-
d ford for his exceedingly libir4l &Intim

The toast was drunk with applause, again and
again reiterated, end
The Earl of CARLISLE, on rising to respond, was
most warmly greeted. His Lordship adverted to the
fact that no district and no place was more happily
suited than that in which they were met to enforce
the reconciling and stimulating lesson how much they
all depended on each other, how close and instataneous
a chord of sympathy, quicker even than the electric
chain, connected together the farmer's barn and the
tradesman's till. The Noble Earl then alluded to a
measure which had just passed through Parliament—
a Bill for allowing the borrowing of money by private
individuals for drainage on their own properties. It
was a Bill brought in and suggested by the Duke of
Richmond, to whom the promoters of Mash agri-
culture al ways felt a large debt of gratitude. For
the protection of the borrower and of his successor,
and of the remainder men, whoever they may be, there
would be the security of an organized superinten-
dence, that of the Drainage Commission, and of the
execution of the work by skilful and practical inspec-
tors. And for the protection of the person who lent
the money there would be a first charge made on the
property so improved equivalent to the increased
amount of value which had been imparted to
the property. And, as the amount of in-
terest would not exceed five per cent., it was
calculated that by allowing three per cent. addi-
tional, to repay the principal, a Bum tOtili of eight per
cent. would pay off both principal and interest in the
course of twenty-two years. The person who was to
succeed to the estate would have the security of com-
petent and practical men that the money would be
well laid out, and that no more would be laid out
than the actual money's worth ; aed the lender would
then have the security that in the space of twenty-two
years the whole sum, consisting of both principal and
interest, would be repaid to him. The Noble Lord
next glanced at the difficulties to which both the agri-
cultural and manufacturing interests had been ex-
posed, and concluded by expressing his conviction
that better prospects were brightening before them,
and that if there be a determination entered into, with
a humble dependence upon the source of all endea-
vour and of all success—if there be a determination,
never to be put down—(Hear, hear)—never to give
way, then he felt confident that their manufactures
would be successful —that their trade would be uni-
versal—their agriculture victorious—the teacher of
new arts, the source of new riches, the dispenser of
new blessings, to every generation of our race.
The meeting was also addressed by Lord Galway,
Mr. W. Beckett, M.P., Mr. J. E. Smyth, M.P., the
Mayor of Leeds (Mr. John Hope Shaw), Mr. James
Brown, Mr. Smith, of Burley, Rutlandshire ; Col.
Tempest, the Hon. and Very Rev. the Dean of Ripon,
Mr. John Gott, Mr. H. S. Thompson, Mr. R.Creyke,
and other gentlemen, in the capacity of successful
competitors or the proposers of complimentary toasts,
which included the customary series.

THE COLOSSAL TUBULAR
BRIDGE AT THE BIENAI STRAITS.
(From the Liverpool Mercury of Tuesday.)
In last Tuesday's paper we endeavoured to describe
our impressions with regard to this most extraordi-
nary, this unrivalled—we had almost said this incre-
dible work, respecting which, we repeat, no one can
possibly obtain an adequate idea unless he goes to see
it, while it is yet in progress, portions completed, and
portions in the course of formation. The thought of
carrying a railway, with all its moving load of pon-
derous engines and carriages, from one lofty steeple
top to another, and then to another, would hardly
have come'within the dream of an opium eater; but
the actual fact is about to be presented to our asto-
nished gaze, and the beholding of what is already done
towards it is an era in our lives.
We will endeavour to give our readers one sketch
by which they may judge of the daring and magni-
tude of the work. But at the outset we may observe,
that the word " tube" does not convey to the mind
an accurate conception of the hollow passage through
which the railway is to proceed, at an elevation of
more than a hundred feet above the level of the sea
which it is to cross. The passage is a rectangular hall,
formed of boiler plate iron ; it is an iron box, in tact,
to be suspended in air, and of prodigious dimensions,
as will be conceived from the following homely, but
perhaps graphic suggestion :—Middle class houses in
Liverpool and other towns are often six yards wide
in front : they are familiarly known as six-yard
houses. A dozen such houses form a considerable
row or
twenty-six

;housesen

block of buildings ; but it requires a street of
hreeipgrhe
ts ewnitl
lthbee
length
accurately imagined, if we suppose all the front apart-
ments of those houses (parlour, drawing-room, and
upper bed-room), to be formed into one, throughout
the entire length. A long and lofty hall it would
certainly be; and yet it would only represent one of
the iron boxes, several of which are to carry the rail-
way from the summit of one tower to another over
the Menai Straits. They will be suspended from
tower to tower, throughout a length of four hundred
and sixty feet, without any central support whatever:
two tubes of this length, and two of a shorter length,
form one line through the air; and if we imagine a
similar series of halls, formed of the back rooms of a
sufficient number of such houses as above supposed,
we shall have a tolerable idea of the double line of
railway (for the going and coming trains) thus con-
veyed over a space which seemed to forbid the pro-
gress of any such means of transit.
The exact length of each of the four principal tubes
is 472 feet ; the exterior height nearly 30 feet ; the
interior breadth 14 feet. Numbers of persons are
flocking down the railway (the most picturesque line
in the kingdom), from Chester, by Flint, Mostyn,
Rhyl, Abergele, Conway, Aber, and Bangor; to see
the works, and well they are repaid; while numbers
are, also, arriving by the steam-vessels from Liverpool
to Beaumaris, Sm., for the same object. From
London the journey is performed by rail within
eight hours.

ItlinnLESEx HOSPITAL.—A quarterly gen Esq., in
the chair. After a short discussion as to the time beserFlcou court
was
best
suited for the visits o f the medical officers to the patients,
in the course of
which it appeared that the hours re-
commended by the medical committee were found in-
convenient by the medical officers, the minutes were
' read and confirmed, and the question which had been
raised was postponed for the further consideration of the
weekly board. The collcc.,or's report showed that,
from May to August, there have been 33 new sub-
scribers, whose subscriptions amount to 9.14 95., whilst
eight old subscribers, whose subscriptions amounted to
231. 22., have either died or withdrawn, and that con-
sequently there is a balance in favour of the hospital of
' 714 7s. The secretary also gave the following list of
alterations in the unpaid legacies since the last court:—
Lady Caroline Murray, paid 10,0001. Consols; J. Curteis,
Esq., paid 1,000/. sterling; S. Knight, Esq., paid 3001.

Flint and Conway, on tho latter of which an exceedingly
interesting paper was rued by DLL J. klicklia.

Wit seems to follow, as a natural consequence, 1
upon good fortune ; victories from the days of C2ESAR
to those of GEORGEY appear to provoke epigrams.
It cannot be forgotten how, on the capture of the
Hungarian capital, the success was announced to the
Liberator of the Magyars in the brief dispatch—
Hurrah ! Buda ! Georgey I—a dispatch as striking
as the Veni, Vidi, Vici ! of the Roman Conqueror.
Recently, on the occasion of the relief of Peter-
wardein and the overthrow of JELLACHICH, a
communication as abrupt and as admirable
for its brevity, intimating the dispersion of
the Croats, was forwarded to KOSSUTH by the illus-
trious victor, the communication being simply Bem
Ban Boum ! meaning, "in point of fact," as cousin
PlicaNlx would say, literally "Beat's beat BAN 1"
Nor is - this the only evidence of good humour dis-
played by the great soldier whose heroic valour and
whose military genius were evidenced in so many
brilliant achievements throughout the last campaign
in Transylvania ; for in a still later dispatch
he declares with punning emphasis to the
Hungarian PRESIDENT that—" Our army re-
quires now to conquer only two generals
more, Julaus and AUGUSTUS"—those words signifying
July and August in the Latin tongue, and in the
language of the Hungarians. While the principal
commanders of the Magyar forces are evincing this
disposition to be jocular, the leaders of the Imperial
troops are becoming only more and more ferocious.
And the ghastly proclamation issued by HATNAU to
the citizens of Buda-Peath cannot but remind us of
the famous saying of the Emperor NAPOLEON, that
whenever you see an exhibition of savage and
pitiless fury on the part of an antagonist,
be sure of this, that he has been all but
vanquished ; or we call to recollection the old story of
the countryman recognizing JUPITER to have been
egregiously wrong in an argument, when the Fa-
ther of Olympus, towards the close of it, begins to
whisk about his thunderbolts with indignation. Now
nothing can be more pitiless or more savage than the
decree of the monster HAYNAU dooming to death—
" instant death "—every one, of either sex, who shall
insult an Austrian soldier, who shall wear a revolu-
tionary ribbon, who shall circulate reports as to the pro-
gress of victory with the Magyars, or who shall
communicate in any manner with the persons desig-
nated rebels at Vienna and Olmutz, but known as
heroes and patriots everywhere else. It was in refe-
rence to this horrible document that the Noble Lord
the Member for the borough of Aylesbury called
the attention of the Foreign Secretary immediately
before the recent prorogation of Parliament. " Seeing
my Noble Friend the Secretary of State for the
Foreign Department in his place, I wish (said Lord
NUGENT) to ask him a question, on which I hope he
will not be reluctant to satisfy what is a feeling of
ardent anxiety in the minds of a great part of the
nation." Thereupon, according to our reporter, the
Noble Lord thus pursued his interpellation :
" He had seen a document in the public papers,
purporting to be a proclamation of the Austrian General,
Baron Haynau, to the people of Buda and I
esth, de-
nouncing the punishment of death—instant death upon
the spot—upon persons of either sex who might be pre-
sumed to be taking part in what he terms political
offences, such as were never made punishable with
death, even under martial law, by any chief acting
under the commission of any civilized state.—(Hear,
hear.) Instant death, to persons of either
sex—(ita?, hear)—tc be inflicted on the spot. Ap•
Pointing, therefore, of course, the soldiery, who were
to be the executioners, to be also summary judges of
the fact Such as what mayth be deemedd. a revolu-
tionary address, what may be ebsprea tog of false re-
ports. and, above all, what may
Be deemed,. an insult to
any soldier under his command. Resistance taaot,tTce to any vio-
lence or outrage committed
within the
course, in the estimation of the pervetrinetier, coming, of
category of insult, and punished with instant death ac-
cordingly.—(Boar, hear.) He wished to
whether his Noble Friend had reason to believe w'hatrst,
(Lord Nugent) would not trust himself to characterise
by any epithet but that of this—astonishing—document
(he was sure his Noble Friend's generous nature would
deem it deserving of a very much stronger term), was
genuine or not I—(Hear, hear.)"
In answer to this direct inquiry Lord PALasERs-
TON at once acknowledged that it was unnecessary for
him to assert that her MAJESTY'S Government, in
common with everybody else, had read that procla-
mation with pain. Further than this, until the
document in question could be formally and officially
authenticated, the Noble Lord the Foreign Secretary
was precluded from expressing his sentiments—
caution being beyond all things exquisitely requisite

The Earl of RODEN volunteered a statement in the
House of Lords, on Tuesday evening, in justification
of his conduct with respect to the Orange procession
on the 12th of July last-, which led to the unfortunate
collision and loss of life at Dolly's Brae, and to the
incarceration of many of those of an humbler station
who took part in that most unwise and impolitic de-
monstration. This explanation may appear perfectly
satisfactory to the Orange party, and to those who
think that the evil passions of the multitude should
be fostered—that they should be encouraged to insult
their Roman Catholic fellow-subjects, and that those
religious dissensions that have so long been
the shame and reproach of Ireland, more espe-
cially of the northern provinces, should be perpetuated.
We confess, however, that to us the matter appears
in a very different point of view. There can no
longer be any doubt of, to use the mildest terms, the
culpable indiscretion of the Noble Earl. He distinctly
and unequivccally admitted that he made no effort
to dissuade the Orangemen from their illegal and ab-
surd exhibition ; that he did not make use of the
legitimate influence belonging to his station and pro-
perty to deter his humble brethren from the grave
violation of the law they meditated, and which was
productive of such melancholy results. His position
in the society as well as in the magistracy
of the county would have lent peculiar
weight to his arguments, and would, were
he really desirous of stopping the procession,
most probably have induced the different lodges to
have acceded to his wishes, and to have abstained
from any public meeting on the occasion ; but so far
from adopting such a course, he opened his gates to
the illegal assemblage, and regaled, and subsequently
harangued his visitors. He declares " that individu-
ally he did all he could to prevent the unhappy col-
lision, which no one more sincerely lamented than
himself'," but, unfortunately, he did nothing to pre-
vent the procession, of which a serious collision was
the almost inevitable consequence, and his subsequent
regret could not restore the lives that had been
sacrificed through his remissness. Where an ex-
cited multitude, armed with deadly weapons,
march with party tunes under party banners, through
a hostile population, it requires no extraordinary gift
of prophecy to predict a sanguinary conflict. The
magistrates, who tacitly assent to these unjustifiable
proceedings, who utter no remonstrance, who express
no regret, but who, on the contrary, declare their
gratitude for the visit, which they regard as " the
most gratifying mark of affection and attachment,"
must be looked upon as abettors and participators in
the proceedings. _ .

Lord RODEN " honestly confesses" that when the
12th of July, 1848, came round, and the Orangemen
in the north came to meet together on that occa-
sion, he did not discourage or prevent their
meeting. He attempts, indeed, to justify that
conduct by speaking of the disaffection that pre-
vailed at that time in the south and west of Ireland,
and the anxiety of the Orange party to put down
" that spirit of rebellion." But surely a better and
a more judicious mode of exhibiting their loyalty
might have been adopted, and one that would have
been far more acceptable to their SOVEREIGN and her
chosen Ministers. It could scarcely be supposed that
an Orange procession would have removed the exist-
ing disaffection—that it would have conciliated the
opposing party, or induced them to regard the union
with this country in a more favourable light. It
was calculated rather to add fuel to the flame—
to inflame the passions of the malcontents to
the utmost, and to have rendered the outbreak
that subsequently took place inevitable. The Go-
vernment were looked upon as conniving at the in-
sulting demonstrations. They had suffered the
salutary law by which processions were prohibited to
expire, and thus tacitly sanctioned the outrage on the
feelings of the Roman Catholic community. His
Lordship states that "they met without collision,
without anything happening to cause sorrow for the
proceeding." Perhaps a more deadly conflict was anti-
cipated, perhaps the opposite party looked forward to
an early day of reckoning, when a full measure
of retribution might be obtained. " Curses
not loud but deep" attended the procession,
which excited deeper feelings of animosity,
from the absence of any opposition, that might have
acted as a safety-valve to to the inflamed passions of the
people. The proceeding, however, was unequivocally
condemned by all right-minded men. The Govern-
ment censured the parties implicated, and the public
journals exhibited an almost unparalleled unanimity
of disapproval. It was followed by an equally ob-
jectionable demonstration on the subsequent Patrick's
Day ; and it was manifest that the opposing factions
were wrought to the utmost pitch of anger and deadly
hatred against each other. Under such cir-
cumstances, it was surely a duty incumbent
on all loyal subjects, more especially on those en-
trusted with the commission of the peace, to have
used their utmost exertions to prevent any violation
of the law or disturbance of the public tranquillity.
They should have endeavoured to teach their humble
brethren the folly and the inutility of such proceed-
ings, and the great danger of the untoward results
that would most probably follow. They should have
inculcated the necessity of forbearance, and of exhi-
biting peace and goodwill towards their fellow-men.
Let us, see, however, what was the conduct of the
Earl of RODEN, a high officer—we believe Grand
Master of the Orangemen, and a magistrate and
deputy-lieutenant of several counties—and we take
it on his own statement, and not on any less trust-
worthy evidence.
It appears, then, that about a fortnight before the
12th of July last, a gentleman, who was the great

" We received last night the news, which was brought
to the Government by an extraordinary courier, that
peace has not been able to be signed between Austria
and Piedmont. It is useless for us to return to what
we have already said as to the questions which have been
raised in the conferences at Milan. It is sufficient for us
to say, that after having, more or less, come to an un-
derstanding on the other points, after having postponed
the project relative to the Customs union, the Cabinet of
Turin, bending its head before the inflexible necessity of
its position, no longer insisted on its counter-project, ex-
cept on two points—the pecuniary indemnity, and the
amnesty to be accorded to the Lombards, the Venetians,
and to the inhabitants of the two duchies of Parma and
Placentia. Austria accepts tho money of Piedmont, but
she formally refuses the absolute amnesty; she wishes
to form categories. To this unshakeable obstinacy
of the Austrian plenipotentiary the Sardinian Go-
vernment has replied that it had arrived at the
furthest limits of concession, and that it would go no
further. M. D'Azeglio, President of the Council, ex-
pressed himself on this subject with the firmness, the
loyalty, and the decision of which he has given so many
proofs as a writer, as a statesman, and as a soldier. He
declared that having been himself proscribed by Austria,
he regarded it as an affair of honour to defend all his
companions of the struggle or of proscription, and not
to admit of any classification. After having come to this
resolute decision, AI. D'Azeglio addressed himself to the
French Minister at Turin, but M. Bois le Comte having
shown little earnestness, and almost evinced hostility, M.
D'Azeglio immediately dispatched a courier to Paris to
demand the support of the French Government."
We could have wished that any other French di-
plomatist had been Minister at Turin than M. Boss
LE COMTE; we cannot forget that he was the French
Minister in Switzerland who intrigued with the
Sonderbund, in opposition to French interests and in
support of Austria and the Obscurantists. Nature
intended M. Boss LE COMTE for an English Tory
aristocrat.

The Moniteur publishes the decree for the proro-
gation of the Legislative Assembly from the 13th of
August to the 30th of September; but the Patrie
says that it is assured that the Assembly will not
separate before the 20th of the month, owing to
urgent measures which have to be disposed of.
The PRESIDENT of the Republic arrived at Tours
on Wednesday, and was received with the greatest
enthusiasm. He was to visit Blois yesterday, and
return to Paris in the evening. The following
account of the PRESIDENT'S trip appears in Galig-
nani

The President of the Republic left Paris, as we have
already stated, at seven o'clock on Sunday morning, to
inaugurate the section of the railway from Tours to
Angers, part of the line to Nantes. The length of the
section is 108 kilom., and it passes through a country of
great beauty and fertility. At half-past nine the Presi-
dent arrived at the station of Orleans, where he was re-
ceived amidst the acclamations of an immense crowd,
the roars of artillery and military fanfares. The mili-
tary and civil authorities received the President at the
entrance of the city, and accompanied him to the
cathedral, where he attended a religious service. He

o'clock the train left the town, and, on arriving at Blois,
the President,
in compliance with the wishes of the local
authorities, passed the National Guard (who wore spon-
taneously under arms) in review. He was there received
with acclamations. At Ambroise, notwithstanding the
programme did not admit of delay, the President of the
Republic was obliged to stop, to satisfy the desire of the
population. On the terrace of the château the white
bournous of Abdel Kader and his companions, who were
there confined, were seen. At Tours, the train only
stopped for a few seconds, but the National Guards were
under arms, and the artillery announced the arrival and
departure. All along the line from Orleans to Angers,
the National Guards and rural population were assem-
bled. The railway follows the valley between the Loire
and the Cher, which contains many historical ruins
and a great number of charming residences. There
are fifteen stations, the principal of which are
Laugeais, Port - Boulet, Saumur, and Lea Rosiers.
At Saumur the train made a brief halt ; and the
President announced to the authorities who had as-
sembled that he would return on Tuesday to visit the
town. From Saumur the railway goes in almost a
straight line to Angers, passing through a fine valley
studded with villages and farms. At half-past
four o'clock the train arrived at Angers. The im-
mense station excited great admiration. The towers
of the cathedral and the principal public edi-
fices were decorated with tricolour flags ; both sides
of the railway were occupied by an immense population;
and there were three tents, occupied by the Bishop of
Angers and his clergy, the local authorities, and the
ladies of the town. The President, after receiving
amidst the shouts of the people, the congratulations of
the Prefect and other authorities, took his pl ice on a
magnificent estrade, which had been prepared for him.
The Bishop then proceeded to the consecration of the
locomotives; and in the course of the ceremony made a
speech, in which he said:—
" In calling down here the blessing from on high, we
will pray the Lord to bless France, to bless him who
has been elected by her; to spread also his light over the
counsellors who surround him, and who second his efforts
to bring back calm, security, and happiness to our dear
country !"
The President of the Republic thanked the Prelate in
a few words. He afterwards proceeded to lay the first
stone of a new hospital, and passed in review the Na-
tional Guards and troops. Ho was received with the
heartiest applause during these ceremonies. At eight
o'clock the President attended a splendid banquet,
which had been prepared for him in a tent in the court-
yard of the Prefecture ; and in reply to a toast proposed
by the Mayor of Angers, spoke as follows:
" Gentlemen,—ln passing through your town, amidst
the acclamations of the population, I asked myself what
I had done to deserve a reception so flattering and so en-
thusiastic. It is not because I am the nephew of the man
who caused all civil dissensions to cease, that you receive
me with so much kindness; I cannot do for you what the
Emperor did, Joe I have neither his genius nor his power;
but what explains your acclamations is, that I represent
the system of moderation and conciliation which was U -

augurated by the Republic—the system which consists in
firmly establishing in France, not the savage liberty
which permits every man to do what he wishes, but the
liberty of civilized nations, which permits every one to
do what does not injure the community. Under all
regime there will, I know, be victims of the law; but, so
long as I shall be President of the Republic, no party
shall be oppressed. No town, I believe, understands this
wise policy better than Angers; and, therefore, I am
happy to unite its name in the toast which I address to
the sound and sacred liberty which we all wish to cause
to triumph."
This speech was receive with great enthusiasm. On
the conclusion of the banquet, the President visited a
fete, and witnessed a magnificent display of fireworks in
the Champ de Mars. He then returned along the Boule-
vard;, the houses on which were brilliantly illuminated,
to the Pre'ecture, where a ball took place in his honour,
and for the benefit of the poor. He afterwards retired
to the chamber prepared for him in the Prefecture. The
room was once occupied by his mother, the Queen Hor-
tense, and the President was much affected at the souve-
nir. At nine the next morning he left for Nantes by the
steamer, and he was greeted with the enthusiastic shouts
of a large crowd whic, notwithstanding the unfavour-
able weather. assembled to see him off."

AND

TIIE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The account we gave yesterday, of the march of
GEORG ET from Waitzen to Kuschan, of his victory over
the Russians at Jaziges, and of his having crossed
tile Theiss and effected his junction with DEMBINSKI,
is confirmed in every perticular. The Cologne
Gazette gives the following narrative of the march of
GEORGEY

"George'', marching with gr,,ater. rapidity than the
Russians, entered, on the ni,ght of the 21st July, into
Kaschau, having first driven out the Russian garrison.
The Russians, with the let, 2d, and 3d corps darmee,
were on the routes of }lstvan, Gyonyos, and Miscolz
Paskewiteh was at Gyonyos on the 25th. The 3d and
4th corps d'armee were at St. Peter's, five leagues to the
south-west of K.9.schnu. A few days since, it will be re-
membered, a Russian bulletin spoke of a battle in the
district of Jaztes, where superior forces checked the
Russians. _ _

" This news, at the time unexpected and somewhat
enigmatical, is confirmed. We know for certain that,
according to the Presse of Vienna, Dembinski has taken
up a position on the Theiss, along the railway from
Szegled to SzDluok, to the 8c:11th-west of Jassbereny, his
centre being at Nagy-Bats. Dembinski, consequently,
threatens the Russian army on the right flank, and i 3
able to operate on the left flank of the Austrian corps
on the way to Keschemer."
The Soldaten Freund, a Vienna Government
journal, says that GEOSeGEY probably took the route
from Rima-Szombath, along the Sayo stream, over
Miskolcz, to Tokay and Tarzal, where he crossed the
river. The surmise is supported by the fact of the
Russian General GI-WHIR having again returned to
Balassa.Gyarmath, after penetrating as far as
Losoncz, and his giving up all further pursuit of the
enemy in consequence. The 3rd and 4th army corps
stationed at Miskolcz had turned off towards Tokay
and the Theiss, in quest of GEORGEY. The head-
quarters of PASKEWITCU were still in Gyonyos.
It is said that BEM'S army is entrenched before
Hermanstadt ready to accept battle from the Russian
General LUDERS whenever he may deem it prudent
to advance.
