EXCHEQUER. CHAMBER.
(THIS DAY.)
COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL.

(Before Lord Chief Justice DENMAN, Mr. Baron PARKE,
Mr. Justice PATTESON, Mr. Justice COLTMAN, and
Mr. Justice WlLLr.uus.)
QUEEN V. CHAPMAN.

This case was tried before Lord Chief Justice Den-
man, at Taunton, when the prisoner was found guilty of
perjur
y.
Mr. PBINN appeared in support of the prisoner's
appeal on several points reserved by the Learned Judge
for the decision of this Court. It appeared that the
prisoner had obtained a marriage license from the mfr•
rogato of Bath and Wells upon false representations,
having stated that it was for himself, whereas it was for
some other person. The grounds for the appeal were first
that the indictment could not be sustained, inasmuch as
he had not made fhe statement in the form ol an oath ; 2dly,
that if he had, the allegation that the surrogate had
power to grant the license and administer the oath, had
not been proved either in point of law or of fact; and,
idly, that making a false statement before a surrogate
to obtain a marriage lincense was not punishable as
perjury:. _ _ _

AI r.FirzimtnEnT contended that the conviction was
good.
The COURT were unanimously of opinion that judg
ment must be for the Crown.

Conviction confirmed accordingly.

FRANCE.

La Nforme contains the following paragraph:—

" We find in a letter from Rome a fact of much im-
portance, namely, that the Constituent Assembly, having
energetically rejected the propositions of M. Lesseps,
had given authority to the Triumvirate to treat again,
and that the Triumvirs proposed to the French Plenipo-
tentiary the following conditions:—First, the people
shall again be called to exercise their sovereignty by
means of universal suffrage. Second, the Austrians,
the Neapolitans, and the Spaniards shall imme-
diately evacuate the territory of the Republic,
as universal suffrage would be a mockery
under the pressure of foreign bayonets. Third, the
French shall more to a distance from Rome. The Re-
public, always generous and fraternal, will grant them
for garrison a place exempt from fever, where they shall
meet with the reception mutually due to each other by
Republican brethren. They shall remain there as
friends, not as protectors, for the Democracy of Rome
will constitute itself without foreign influence. Fourth,
when the Republic shall be again proclaimed by uni-
versal suffrage, the French shall salute it as their sister,
and pledge themselves to cause it to be recognised by the
belligerent Powers."
A deplorable collision has taken place at La Vogue
de St. Quentin (Issire) between the soldiers quartered
there and the inhabitants, who had taken the part of
a soldier who had been guilty of a breach of disci-
pline, and opposed a file of men sent to arrest the
culprit. In the course of the resistance one of the
people threw a stone at the captain who headed the
military party, and killed him on the spot. The
soldiers, exasperated by this desperate act, went to
their quarters, and, returning with their muskets,
charged the people with their bayonets, receiving in
return showers of stones. At the time this account
left General Duhaut was marching upon the rioters
with a battalion.

The Moniteur publishes the returns of the corn
trade in the different markets of France, from which
it appears that, during the first fortnight of May, the
hectolitre of wheat sold at Toulouse, Gray, Lyons,
and Marseilles for 17f. 3c.; at Marans and Bordeaux,
15f. 43c.; at St. Laurant and Le Grand Lemps,
32c. ; at Mulhouse and Strasbourg, 16f. 60c. ; at

PRUSSIA.

THE NEW GERMAN CONSTITUTION.

The German Constitution as agreed on by the
Plenipotentiaries at the Congress of Berlin, is pub•
lished in the Berlin Gazette, of the 30th ult. In the
address to the several German Governments, by which
it is preceded, the Prussian Cabinet states that Bavaria
has taken part in the conference in which the Consti-
tution was framed, but reserves the decisive declara-
tion of its acceptance. The Prussian Government
further states that the Powers who are parties to the
Constitution have drawn it up, that they may be
enabled to meet the dangers by which Germany is
threatened if it longer remains without federative
constitution or union, and because the Frankfort
Assembly ceased to exist as a legal body when it
completed its plan of a Constitution, which could not
be accepted by the Government without alteration;
all the after acts of that Chamber are therefore to be
considered as exceeding its powers and without
validity. What follows is a translation of the docu-
ment itself :
" The Governments of Prussia, Saxony, and Hano-
ver have therefore agreed, according to the 11th Artice
of the Act of Confederation, to enter into a union

(Lund), thgt has for its object the mutual protection of
its mvrnbtrs against external and internal foes. The
conduct of the general measures that may be necessary
for this end, they have given over to Prussia. The Go-
vernment of -, like all those which formed part of the
German Confederation of 1815, is required to join this
bend called into existence by the danger of the moment,
and is requested to notify its junction with it with the
!cast possible delay.

" The above-nained Governments would, however, but
imper:ectly discharge the mission imposed on them if
they merely dwell on the necessities which spring from
the immediate present. They are impressed with the con-
viction that reason and duty alike require them to speak
openly to the nation, as well as to their allies, on their
position with regard to the question of the Constitution.
They did not recognise the Constitution drawn up by
the Frankfort Assembly, because it went beyond the
true and wholesome requirements of a powerful federa-
tive state, and, in the form it received trom the conflict
and concessions of political parties, it did not contain
those essential guarantees on which the legal and regular
existence of every system of government reposes.
" But the united Governments have never for a mo-
ment forgotten that even for these reasons it became
their double duty to co-operate in framing a Constitution
that has become an indispensable necessity for the whole
of Germany. Such a Constitution will secure to the
nation what it for a long period has been painfully de-
prived of, what it is justified in demanding of its go-
vernments—unity and strength in relation to foreign
Powers rin its internal affairs with the secured continu-
ance of the existence of each member of the union, a
common development of general interests and national
necessities. It is the guarantees of just freedom and
legal order which the German Constitution will have to
grant to the Governments and to the people.
" On the proposition of Prussia, therefore, a draft of
an Imperial Constitution is laid before the several Mem-

on to accept it will continue to possess those rights and
duties unchanged, created by the treaties of 1815:'
The Constitution is very long, containing, with

the law of election, more than 190 paragraphs. An
abstract of the most important articles is sub-

_
joined :
" The Imperial House has the right of making peace
and war, appoints the Ambassadors and Consuls of the
Empire, conducts the diplomatic intercourse, and con-
cludes treaties of navigation and commerce with foreign
countries. The several German Governments have given
over their right to receive or appoint Ambassadors to
the Imperial Power.
" The Imperial Government will consist of a Presi-
dent of the Empire, and a Council of the Princes.
"The dignity of the Presidency of the Empire is
united to the Crown of Prussia.

-.........._
"The Council of Princes (or States) will contain six
votes, of which Prussia and Bavaria has each one ;
Wurtemberg, Baden, and the two Hohenaollerns have
one collectively; one vote is allotted in the same man-
ner to Saxony and the Saxon Duchies, Raus, Anhalt, and
Schwarcenburg; one to Hanover, Brunswick, Olden-
burg, Mecklenburg, Holstein and the Hanse-town, the
remaining vote is given to the other small States—Kur-
besson, Hesse-Darmstadt, Nassau, Hesse• Homburg,

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
The business transacted in the Mining Share-marks t
this week has been very limited indeed, still there are
active inquiries for shares in some of our dividend
paying and improving mines. Several negotiations are
consequently going on, which, we expect, will terminate
in satisfactory sales.
West Buller continues to improve, and shares have
very considerably advanced and much inquired for.
West Caradon is reported to have considerably im-
proved, and some important discoveries have been made;
shares have, in consequence, been in demand at a con- '
siderable advance.

At Kingsett and Bedford the discovery made last
week continues to improve, the lode being represented
as two feet of solid ore.

At Wheal Ca'stock a fine course of copper has been
discovered ; this sett is immediately adjoining Wheal
Zion, now about being commenced, and the discovery
will no doubt greatly facilitate the formation of the corn •
pany, and stimulate present operations.
South Friendship Wheal Ann has improved ; a fine
course of tin in tha 26 fathom level west, and also in the
winze east.

Camborne Consols is represented to have considerably
improved during the week, and several shares have
changed hands in consequence.
Shares in the following mines have changed hands
this week—viz ; East Whal Rose, Devon Great Con-
sols, West Buller, South Wheal Frances, Mary Ann,
Herodsloot, 'Trelawney, Birch Tor, South Tamar, East
Tamar, Camborne Con,o:s, Trehane, Tamar Consols,
Bedford United, (hrl Er fin, Esgair Lli, South Friend-
ship, &c., &c.

At the Wheal Trehane meeting, the accounts for
January and February were audited, showing a balance
of 6751. 17s. 9d. in favour of the company, with 70 tons
of rich silver lead ore for sale. A dividend of 21. per
share was declared, leaving a credit of 1631. 17s. 9d. to
next account. Since the last meeting, the lode has been
intersected in the 68 fm. level, and they have commenced
driving north and south on its course, which is reported
to be improving as they progress, as well as the stones
and ends in the other levels.

At the Wheal Tregorden meeting, for receiving the
accounts fur January and February, the balance sheet
presented showed a debit of 1001. to adventurers on the
two months' worhing. A call of 10s. per share was
deemed necessary, which, with the rich silver lead ore
already raised, will nearly place the mine out of debt at
the next meeting.
At the Great Work meeting, the accounts for Janu-
ary, February, and March, showed the tin sold to have
realised a profit of 1,091/. 6s. 10d., which, added to
balance in hand in December, allowed a dividend of 101.
per share, leaving balance of 3691. ss. in purser's hands,
carried to credit of next account.

At the West Wheal Treasury meeting, the statement
showed a balance cf 921.85. 7d. due to purser.
At the Wheal Margaret meeting a dividend of 121.
per share was declared. The accounts showed a profit
of 1,4611. for February and March; after payment of
dividend a balance of 367/. 17s. is carried to credit of
next account.

The Guadalcanal Silver Mining Company's report
enters into a full detail of the company's proceedings
from the commencement. The reports from the mines,
as to the efficiency of the machinery, and the progress
at the surface and underground operations, are highly
satisfactory. The latest accounts (18th of May) advise
that the Pozo Rico Mine was nearly in fork to the 50
fathom level, and that fine specimens and whole ground
had been discovered in the 30 fathom level, the latter
valued at 501. per fathom. The suggestion of the direc-
tors to dress and smelt the ore on the mines, atter being
discussed, was postponed. The balance-sheet to 25th
March showed an available balance of 4,4641. I Is. 7d.
The prospects of the company are considered highly en-
couraging, and the next dispatches are anticipated with
much interest.

At the meeting of the General Mining Association a
dividend of 11. per share was declared. The company
commenced operations in 1825, under a grant from the
late Duke of York, for working some coal mines in Nova
Scotia. We learn that the negotiations which have been
so long pending between his Royal Highness's creditors
and the company are likely to be brought to a satisfac-
tory termination.
The meeting of debenture holders of the Company of
Copper Miners in England, we regret to say, terminated
without coming to any arrangement. There appeared
to be an almost unanimous complaint, that the commit-
tee appointed in July, 11148, had been very remiss in
their duties—in fact, so much so, that the debenture
holders had began to think of acting for themselves in-
dividually. Various opinions were given by the several
speakers of the value of the property, but the general
feeling appeared to be, that a committee should be ap-
pointed to discuss and prepare an arrangement with the
shareholders and the Bank of England. No one, how-
ever, was willing to serve on this committee; and, there
being so little unanimity, the meeting was forced to ad-
journ, to give the debenture holders time to consider the
report.
In foreign mines business has been equally heavy this
ml
week; a few transactions in St. John del Rey, Imperial
Brazilian, United Mexican, Guadalcanal, Copispo, end
Bolanos, have taken place, but not at improved prices.
We gave last week the report from the Australian
mines to the 9th February; but being pressed fnrspcaacpe:
were unable to furnish the usual summary. The
tain's monthly report is to the 2d February,oh of Goad's
and advises
the appearances of the lode, north and
wins?, as continuing productive. On ut
Horne's lobe the
operations have been retarded, in consequence
crease. In Anstey's shaft the ground

the progress, therefore, slow.
of Phillips's winze, the lode
h
had not been
taken down in January. The ground in the
new shaft, on Baker's lode, is easier for sink-
ing. Cross cuts are being driven from two winzes
to intersect Anstey's lode, at which points a productive
lode is anticipated. One hundred tons of copper ore
WAS raised in January, 50 of which will realise 26 per
cent., and 50 is expected to be worth 12 to 15 per cent.
Sums large purchases have been effected in the North
British Australa:ian Company. Since our last notice of
this company, we learn that the Cheapside has arrived
with 83 bales of wool and 100 tons of copper regulus,
and the Isabella Hercus with 26 bales, 56 tons of copper
ore, and 63 tons of regulus, and that the Catherine Ja-
mieson is shortly expected. We find from an assay of a
sample of regulus, taken indiscriminately from the pile,
that it gives 16 per cent, pure copper.

We understand that, in consequence of the indis-
position of Miss Clara Seytun, her now entertainment
is postponed until Mogday evening, June 18, when it
will most positively be produced.

THE WAR MEDAL.-It may be interesting to those
of our readers who have obtained the war-medal, and
have scruples in wearing it out of uniform, to be informed
that, at the meeting of the General Assembly of the
Church of Scotland, new sitting, her Majesty's Lord
High Commissioner wears his medal on the Court dress
(a lieutenant's uniform), in which he always appears.
At his Grace's levee, which is attended both by clergy
and laity, a correspondent of ours observed on the breast
of many a veteran, some in uniform and some in mufti,
medals with bars from one to twelve. Why should this
long delayed decoration not be worn when at last
obtained ?

issued instructions to the respective establishments to the
effect, that on no account shall the weekly wages of the
apprentices be paid to themselves, but invariably to their
parents or guardians.

NATAL ASSISTANT SURGEONS.—The petitions to

CRICKET.—THE COUNTY OF KENT V. THE COUNYT
OF YORE.—This is the first instance on record wherein
these two counties have come into collision as aspirants
in the first of England's games and pastimes, and now
that the contest has once commenced it is to be hoped it
may be found in operation in every succeeding season.
The score at the close of the play stood thus :—Kent,
Ist innings 157, 2d ditto 114; total 271. Yorkshire, Ist
innings 95, 2d ditto 110; total 205. Kent therefore won
by 66 runs.
CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.—At a meeting of the Go-
vernors of Christ's Hospital, held on Friday last, when
the resignation of Mr. Pigeon, the treasurer, was re-
ceived, a report was brought up from the Committee
of Almoners, recommending that, in future, the funds
of the hospital should be paid into the Bank of England
for account of the governors, and to be withdrawn only
.
by the signatures of three governors, , the treasurer,
•one of the auditors, and one of the almoners. The
President (Alderman Thompson) expressed his satis-
faction at.the proposed alteration, which he said was
wise and prudent, as it was only right, from the interest
taken in these matters in other quarters, that the hospi-
tal should be a step in advance. The governors present
expressed their gratification at the suggested improve-
ment, and it was remarked that Christ's Hospital would
be the second Royal Hospital which had adopted this
wholesome plan, Bethlehem Hospital having, upon the
appointment of a new treasurer, several years ago, acted
upon the same salutary recommendation. A deep and
general expression of regret was evinced by the gover-
nors present upon this occasion at the loss of the ser-
vices of the late treasurer, and the resolutions of the
grateful acknowledgments of the governors to that gen-
tleman and Mrs. Pigeon, for whom they have also enter-
tained the highest respect, were ordered to bo printed in
the daily papers.
THE REY. Ma. SHORE. —Yesterday's Christian
Times contains the following article:—
We have great pleasure in laying before our readers
the following letter, received just in time for publt-
cation:—
The Gaol, St. Thomas's, Exeter, May 30, 1849.
My dear Sirs,—l have just been informed that my
prison doors have been opened by friends, and I am now
only here by sufferance.
. Although my own convictions
remain unchanged, I feel deeply grateful for the kind-
ness shown me; and as I must now leave this place, I
shall occupy the same ground and preach the Gospel as
I did before, and if the Bishop feels it to be his conscien-
tious duty to carry out the laws of his Church, I shall of
course be soon committed to prison again. I hope
(n. Y.) I shall be able to preach to my congregation at
Bridgetown next Sunday. I beg to express to you, and
through you to the members of the committee and other
friends to whom lam so greatly lade bted, my best
thanks for your kindness and consideration; and I re-
main, my char Sirs, very sincerely and gratefully yours,
" JANES SHORE.

Mr. GEORGE SANDARS wished to ask the Noble
Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs if he bad heard
of the fact of several British ships with British property,
sailing from the port of Barth, having been seized by the
Danish ships of war, and taken into Copenhagen, though
the said port of Barth is not one of the ports which has
been declared under blockade, or any steps taken to
render it so.
Lord PALTAIERSTON replied that a few days ago
an application was made to him on the subject, and he
was now causing inquiries to be made into it.
Mr. GEORGE SANDARS observed that one of the
vessels stopped had charge of the mails.
Lord rALMIESTOII said he bad applied to the
