" Swedish and Norwegian Consulate,
London, Nov. 14, 1849.
_ _

. .
" Sir,—l have the honour to communicate to you
the following translation of a Royal Proclamation,
issued in Stockholm, under date of the 26th of Octo-
ber last :

" We, Oscar, by the grace of God King of Swe-
den and Norway, the Goths, and the Vandals, make
known, that it having been officially reported to us
that, in consequence of the new navigation-law which
has passed the Parliament of Great Britain and been
ratified by the Government of the said kingdom,

Swedish vessels, subject to stipulated conditions of
reciprocity, will, from and after the Ist of January,
1850 (with the sole exception of the coasting trade),
be treated in like manner as British vessels in all
ports under the British rule; we have, in return for
the privileges thus granted to Swedish vessels, been
graciously pleased to decree, that from and after the
Ist of January, 1860—
"' 1. British vessels visiting the ports of Sweden
shall, both on arrival and departure, be treated in the
same manner as native vessels, in respect to tonnage
and port dues, and all other charges to the Crown,
town, or private institutions of every denomination.
"‘ 2. All goods, being the natural production or
manufacture of any country soever, the importation
of which into the ports of the kingdom of Sweden is
legally permitted by Swedish vessels, may be im-
ported into Sweden by British vessels from any place
soever ; and likewise all goods, the exportation of
hich from Sweden by vessels of the country is le-
gally permitted, may be exported thence by British
vessels ; in both cases without the goods in question
so imported or exported being subject to other or
higher charges of any denomination than would be
levied if the goods from or to the same places were
imported or exported by Swedish vessels.
" Which all whom it may concern have to regu-
late accordingly. For greater certainty we have
signed this with our own hand, and caused it to be
sealed with our royal seal.

day of October, 1849.

the Ministers were present. The Minister for the
Home Department, M. VoN THORBECKE, spoke first
of the formation of the new Cabinet ; secondly, the
conviction of the Government that this Cabinet' was
composed of men who possessed the confidence of the
Chambers ; and, thirdly, of the task of Government,
relative to the immediate work to be submitted to the
Chambers. He promises to lay before them a revision
of the laws already presented to the Chambers, and
would likewise submit a project for introducing
modifications into the budget of 1850, which had
been already submitted to the Legislature. M.
THORBECKE at the same time declared, in his own
name as well as that of his colleague, the Minister
for Justice, M. VON ROSENTHAL, that, as former
members of the Chamber, they would not stand a new
election.

M. VON GOTTESTJEN quitted the President's chair,
and threw some further light on the formation of the
new Cabinet, in so far as he was concerned in it.
After some observations by M. DONKER CURTIUS, the
sitting was closed.

Curiously enough, in his valuable " Remarks on
Military Law and the Punishment of Flogging"—a
work which will long be regarded as a standard
authority—Sir CHARLES NAPIER, the present Com-
mander in Chief of the British Army in Hindostan,
has made direct allusion to a system of petty but
despotic harshness, exactly analogous to that which
recently produced the deplorable riots in Notting-
ham. After enumerating the various military
punishments—death, whipping, branding, transporta-
tion, imprisonment, stopping the allowance of grog,
extra drills, extra guards, turning the coat, and
duties of fatigue—the distinguished writer reprobates
in very energetic language those other little tyrannical
inflictions which he says are occasionally contrived by
the more cruelly inventive commanding officers
and which he moreov4r declares to be " likely enough
to goad men into mutiny and desertion, in the face
of all the regulations that human ingenuity ceuld
devise to prevent such crimes." Among these ha-
rassing punishments he expressly particularizes (page
126) " the improper confinement of men to barracks
for an unlimited period." And furthermore, be says
with the most resolute emphasis (page 127), this art
of tormenting in which a few commanders of regi
ments were (are?) apparently so expert, is, of all
others, "the most destructive to discipline."
Can anything be more strikingly applicable
than this to the case of the Lie •ut enant-
Colonel of the 3d Regiment of Dragoons ?
Irritated at
the negligence evinced by some ome
officer,of hison
men in the grooming of the horses, that
the 9L13 October, must needs inflict an irksome and
harassing punishment indiscriminately upon guilty
and innocent—restricting them to their barracks for
an unlimited period of confinement. The consequence
was, of course, strictly in conformity with the asser-
tions of the Conqueror of Sinde, corroborating, in a very
striking manner, the remarks just quoted by ourselves.
A spirit of insubordination speedily manifested itselfin

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
Hamburgh, Nov. 22.
As the current below Schulau, to the. south of the
Great Channel, has now become so deep that it may be
considered as the chi of channel, the removal of the two
light-ships stationed the former place to this new
charted, as well as the stationing of the cask-buoys, will
take place in a few days.
The future station of the light-ship above is W. S.
from the Ferry houst at St. Schulau, and S S.E.
the house at Felarmantissand, the depth beir.g 2f fathoms
at low water.
The future station of the light ship below is E N.E.
E. from Mielstack, S. V. by S. from the house at Fehr-
mannesand, and the, course to the Black Cask Buoy,
No. XI., is N.N.W. W. The depth of water where
the light-ship is placed is 10 feet at low water.
The direction of the light-ships in respect to one
another is N.W. by VT., and S.F. by E. They are nearly
hall a mile (GertnAii) distant from one another, to the
N. side of the chare

For the sake of gl-(!ater security a buoy will be placed
between the two lig'it-ships, to the N. side of the pro-
jecting curve of the Sand Reef.
A black cask will be stationed to the south of the new
channel, at the ph.ce opposite the Ships' wharf of
Schuleu, hitherto poillted out by a black buoy, where the
ships coming from the old channel bear southwards to
the new channel.
In the meanwhile. buoys will be fixed in the old
channel where the cask-buoys now lie.
The removal of the light-ships to their new stations
will take place, if th e weather does not prevent it, on
Saturday, Nov. 24. Their signals remain unaltered.

SIR,-Can you inform me, if there is any truth in
the rumour that the chief military engineer ia the
present Commission of the Metropolitan Sewers,

purposes :" also, that " he considers the objections

ever, on such an occasion to be within ear-shot of the
Chamberlain, we would strongly recommend a sharp
watch over the contents of the cellar and larder, for
we do not believe the Very Rev. Dr. SPRATT—the
Father i'leTnEw of Dublin—has many of the White-

friars- hall folk on his teetotal list.
It is difficult to be serious when compelled to notice
such absurd and ridiculous charges—charges again
and again reiterated and bruited through the land not
only by the organs of the Dublin Orangemen, but by
political partizans of a different hue. Lord CLARBN
DON will suffer little from such ridiculous absurdities
as these. The only way in which his fair fame might
be likely to be damaged would be,,if he shut his eyes
to the atrocities of Dolly's Brae, if he allowed inno-
cent blood to be shed, if he allowed the ma-
jesty of the law to be outraged with impunity.
If the RODENS and the Baaas were allowed with
impunity to countenance scenes of crime and conflict
resulting in burning and massacre, and then shield
themselves and the wicked members of their unholy
fraternity from the penal consequences of their mis-
deeds by virtue of their high offices—if such men
were allowed to go unpunished, and were enabled to
perpetrate crime under her MAJESTY'S commission,
then, indeed, would the QUEEN'S representative be
guilty of a grave violation of the high trust confided
to him ; then, indeed, could Lord CLARENDON be
fairly charged with treason against the laws which
he was sworn to administer in a just and impartial
spirit, and which we trust and believe he will continue
to dispense with a firm and steady band, alike un-
affected by the threats of the Leitrim House con-
spirators,trhaecTyh,heehaamdvseeo

of serving their country. If they wish to
raise her from her prostrate condition, if
they would save her from continuing a blot upon
the page of history, a by-word among the nations of
the earth ; if they would banish dissension from
their soil—the admitted curse of Ireland—if they
would sow the seeds of peace and order in the land,
let them not lose the present opportunity of dissolv-
ing the( Unmeaning and puerile society of Orangeism.
Drinking clubs, with the absurdities of secret signs
and pass-words, may be tolerated and laughed at in
schoolboys or college "jibs," but they are quite un-
worthy of grown-up men of common sense. Let them,
thon, put an end to these nests of folly and wickedness;
they will thus have achieved a triumph over Lord
am:EN:nazi,
by depriving his Lordship of the plea-
sure of puOing
the law in motion against them, and
thus adding Another leaf to his Vice-regal laurels.
This, trust us,
i9the only way in which they can
triumph over him;
.xly doing this they will earn for
themselves the praise
of all good men, and the
blessings of a peaceful, uni?*4, and prosperous country.

SHERIFFS' COURT, Nov. 27.

(Before Mr. Under• Sheriff BURCHBLL and a
Special Jury.)

PRESS V. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COIdPANT.
In this case a question arose of " consequential
damage." The claimant is a florist at Hornsey, and a
small portion of his land, the value of which was 101,
was required by the company for their line. He,
however, made a claim for " consequential damage "
to his property, for which he was offered, as compen-
sation, 251, and subsequently, to avoid the expense of
the present proceedings, the sum of 95/., which offer
was refused, and a special jury assembled to assess
the amount of compensation to be awarded.
Mr. EDWIN JAMES appeared for the claimant, and
called several witnesses. He submitted that his client
was entitled to ample compensation. The company
would raise an embankment of 40 feet, overshadowing
the ground, to the serious injury of the claimant, who
some years ago had paid upwards of 7001. for the pro-
perty, which he cultivated as a florist for his support,
being nearly 70 years of age. The actual value of
the land required was only 101., but he was sure the
jury would consider the "consequential damage" that
would be sustained, amounting as it did, in the opi-
nion of several witnesses, to about 3001.
Mr. BAXTER, as solicitor to the company, resisted
the demand as one of an extraordinary character, and
1 he hoped the jury would show the claimant, and others

CORN-EXCHANGI-WEDNESDAY
A very limited quantity of English Wh,zt was on
sale in to day's market. Still, however, as the attend-
ance of buyers was small, and the arrivals from abroad
extensive, the demand ruled heavy, at barely Monday's
quotations. Upwards of 10,000 quarters of Foreign
Wheat have come to hand this week, and the show this
morning was on the increase. All kird moved off
heavily, at unaltered currencies. The supply cf Eng-
lish Barley was trifling, that of Foreign large. All de-
scriptions met a very dull inquiry, at the late decline.
Malt, both old and new, sold heavily, but we have no
change to notice in value. For Oats the inquiry was
confined to retail parcels, at previous figures. Beans,
Yeas, Indian Corn, and Flour very dull.

OXFORD, Nov. 27.—1 n the convocation to be held on
Thursday next, the 29th inst., at ten o'clock, it will be
proposed to restore the name of the Rev. Charles Par-
ker, M.A., of Queen's College, to the books of the Uni-
versity, Mr. Parker's name having been omitted from the
books of his college during his residence in India with-
out his knowledge and against his wish, and to allow him
every right and privilege to which he would otherwise
have been entitled, provided his name be immediately
placed on the college books, and all academical dues be
duly discharged.
The Vi.itora of the Ashmolcan Museum having laid
before the Hebdomadal Board a recommendation that it
be proposed to convocation to make an additional grant
of SOL per annum from the University chest towards
maintaining the Museum in a state of greater efficiency,
and that 201. thereof be paid in augmentation of the
salary of the Underkeeper, in the convocation to be held

RE ARTHUR CHARMAN.

This was a meeting for the last examination of the
bankrupt, who wa3 a farmer .at Cobham. The
balance-sheet, prepared by Mr. Perkins, shows debts
and liabilities to the amount of about 2,5001., and the
assets are expected to realise about 1,500/. The as,
signees required an adjournment for the purpose of
investigating the accounts, which was granted for
three weeks.

The bankrupt, who was a builder and cabinet-

Mr. Linklater opposed on behalf of the assignees,
and Mr. Lawrence supported the bankrupt.
It appeared that an action was pending against an
execution creditor, the result of which might mate-
rially affect the question of the bankrupt's conduct,
and it WAS therefore arranged that an adjournment of
six months should take place, which was ordered no-

NEW COURT.

GEA.NT.)

YOUTHFUL DEPAAVIT Y.-- Sarah Ann Miller, a girl
with a very juvenile appearance, whose head only just
reached above the top of the dock, was indicted for
stealing a watch from the person of Thomas Postlethwait.
The prosecutor having been attacked with paralysis
since the committal of the offence, was unable to at-
tend, but, from his depositions taken before the magi-
strate, it would seem that he met the prisoner in the
streets at Stratford, and took her to a brothel, where she
robbed him of his watch.

The COMMON-SERGEANT—WeII, Sarah Ann Miller,
what have yots to say to this?—The prisoner said the
prosecutor gave her the watch.

The COM—MON-SERGEANT—B Ut how came you to tell
one of the witnesses that the watch was given to you by
a brother who had gone to sea ?—The prisoner said the
prosecutor told her to say so, as he was anxious that it
should not be known that he had given it to her.
The COMMON-SERGEANT—WeII, gentlemen of the
jury, its for you to say whether you believe the story
of the prosecutor or that of the prisoner.
The jury, after a short consultation, found her Not
Guilty.
She was then indicted on a charge of stealing a ring,
the property of Louisa Harris, of High-street, Stratford.
The prosecutrix having been sworn, she was examined
by the COMMON-SERGEANT in the following strain
The prisoner was in your service.—Yes.
Now you had better go home if you can't speak up,
woman.—l will speak as loud as I can.
Well, first of all, take off your bonnet. Now, then,
you lost a ring ?—Yes.
And you repeatedly asked the prisoner for it ?—Yes.
There, you can stand down. Now, then, where is
Jane Low ?
Jane Low, having been sworn, stated that she was the
mother of the prisoner, who gave her the ring in
question.
The COMMON-SERGEANT—Why, your name is Low.
You're been married again, I suppose, Witness—
Yes, Sir.
The COMMON •SERGEANT—Now Sarah Ann Miller,
what have you say to this? Prisoner—l picked it up
out of the sweepings of the kitchen, aid, not knowing
who it belonged to, I gave it to soy mother.
The COMMON-SERGEANT—WeII, gentlemen of the
jury, she is in the service of the prose-
cutrix, a ring is lost, and when asked if
*hi) has seen it, she knows nothing about it. There
is evidence that she afterwards gave it to her mother,
sand it is for you to say if she stole it.
The jury loud her Guilty.
