THE COVENTRY GAOL CIIAPLAIN.--The Secretary
of State, Sir George Grey, has, we are informed, signified
to the visitibg justices ut the Coventry gaol his entire
concurrence in the course pursued by them in the im-
mediate suspension, with Si view to the subsequent
removal, of the Rev. Richard Chapman, chaplain to the
gaol.—Coventry Herald.

SWITZERLAND.

Intelligence of the 19th states that the number of
German emigrants is becoming every day smaller, in
consequence of the determiwition of many of them to
pass the frontier on the faith of verbal promises given
that they should not be disquieted in their homes.
The number of Germans who have thus returned is
estimated at 4,000. The leaders, however, still re-
main in Switzerland, finding great difficulty in ob-
taining a sure asylum.

ITALY.

The Genoa Gazette of the 13th instant quotes a
letter froni Rome of the 14th, stating that the Go-
vernment Committee had instituted a Central
Board of Censorship, composed of ten members
residing at Rome, whose mission would be to
inquire into the conduct of the officers of the
different departments of the State, no matter
what their rank might be, and ascertain if their
acts during the late political events entitled them to
confidence. The board was likewise to examine the
conduct of the pensioners of the Government during
the same period, to know if they had preserved a right
to those pensions, and it' any of them ware suscep-
tible of being replaced on active service. Similar
boards of censorship were to be established in each
province for the same purpose.
The Roman Journal of the 14th contains the fol-
lowing :
"Several persons having claimed the restitution of
their fowling-pietas, the authorities have ordered that
their demands to that effect should be addressed to the
president of their respective quarters, who will refer them
to the Governor• General. On the exhibitit.m of a eertthi;

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
SUSPENSION OF HOSTILITIES.

The Constitutionnelle of Vienna, of August 20,
gives as the latest news :
" Hostilities have been suspendel by Field-Marshal
rrinc 3 Paskewitch."

The Deutsche Reforme contains the following
letter :

" VIENNA, AUG. 19.—According to a telegraphic dis-
patch swayed yesterday evening from Field-Marshal
Baron Ilaynau, the forttess of Arad had surrendered,
and was taken possession of by the Austrian troops on
the 16th instant (three days after Georgey had laid
down his arms). It had also been positively as-
serted that a great part of Georgey's corps had ex-
pressed a wish to enter into the ranks of the Austrian
army. The delivery up of their arms occupied two com-
plete days. These disarmed, troops were then provided
with food, the want of a due supply of which they had
long experienced. The submission had been unani-
mously concurred in by the corps of officers, after
Georgey had satisfactorily demonstrated the impossibi-
lity of their longer carrying on the contest. Offeial
news from the southern seat of war in Hungary con-
firms the intelligence of the rapid advance of the Ban
Jellachich to Temeswar. This account also mentions
that Bem, in the battle of Sehasburg, was wounded.
The Magyar troops who were in the neighbourhood of
Waag, have, according to letters from Presburg,
retired to Cormorn. It is asserted that the gar-
rison of that place had become acquainted with the
submission of Georgey on the 15th, but, notwith-
standing that, it had prepared for a serious resistance.
Klapka was the military commander, and Ujhazy, was
the commissary of the Magyar Government. A letter
from the Banat announces that the instruments have
completely evacuated that district. The communications
of the army of the Danube have been completely re-
established on all points. General Haynau had his head
quarters at Temeswar, and had addressed a proclama
Ovation to the inhabitants of the Banuat who had fled, in
which he strongly urged tht in to return, as danger no
longer threatened them. After Panscova had been
taken possession of, General Mayerhofer commenced his
march so as to effect a junction with the Russian corps
at Weisskirchen, and for this purpose he obtained
a consPerable reinforcement of troops and cannon from
Sew lin."
The following is a narrative of the events which
preceded the surrender of GEoRGEY
" Georgey was, on the 2d instant, in the neighbour-
hood of the confluence of the Hernad with the Theiss.
As we see from ICossuth's letters, he had orders to join
the army on the Theiss and Maros. Paskewith, how-
ever, having occupied Debreczin on the 2d, Georgey had
no other road left but that of Nyiregyhoza and Nagy
Karoly ; and if possible ho would form a junction

without hesitation in favour of his sanity. Why
should that inquiry be any longer refused? Mr.
SOMBRE courts it. There can b- little doubt as to
the result, and yet he is kept an exile from
England, unable to reside in the home of his adop-
tion without being liable at any moment to be
seized and placed in strict confinement; and, although
a hanobome allowance is mlcle for his support, he is
not permitted to manage his person or property as he
deems most expedient ; and, above all, be is still ex-
posed to the degradation of being considered a lunatic,
of unsound mind, incompetent to take care of himself.
This is not right or proper, just or equitable, and we
trust an adequate remedy may speedily be afforded.

PRUSSIA.

The Ministry on the 22,1 laid before the Chamber
the provisional law relating to the state of siege (of
the 10th of May) and the laws regulating the clubs,
abuses of the press, and inciting the army to disobe-
dience. As these laws were decreed for an excep-
tional state of things, the Chamber would make con-
siderable modifications in them.
The Minister of the Interior also declared that the
Government had that day resolved on terminating the
state of siege in Breslau. The question of putting an
end to it in Posen was still under consideration.
Several of the political prisoners of May were to be
liberated cn the following day, their sentences having
expired. A fete had been organized fur the occasion
by the Democratic party.

TO TDE EDITOR OF THE SPIN.

Sint—May I, as an act of justice, beg the favour of your
inserting this letter in reply to an article that appears in
the Sunday Times of the week, entitled " The Laud we
Live In," which contains a statement forwarded by a
"Commercial Traveller," respecting the charges, &c., at
an hotel at Leeds, Is hich from circumstances I know re-
fers to the "Scarborough Hotel." I was staying iu the
commercial-room at the " Scarborough" on the day in
question, dining, &c., with the commercial mea, and on
discharging my bill I found the charges were according
to the excellent accommodation and the genuine quality
of everything provided by Mr. Fleischman, decidedly
lair, and not a whit above the charges made at hotels
of the same class, and a remark to this effect on my part
to gentlemen then staying there was fully acquiesced in.
As to the charge for servants, it is a practice that will
always exist with commercial men, as the amount corn-
rlained of, viz., ls. 6d. per day is invariably given, both
in such hotels as the " Scarborough " and also those of
a second class. lam inclined to think that in this in-
stance the tide of a " commercial man" has been bur-
rowed, or else this is his maiden journey; if so, I fear
he will be much chagrined on his route if he intends to
cavil with hotel bills, for it is clear from this first
fracas" that the informant of the Sunday Times has
not yet bad sufficient experience on " the road" to dis-
cover when be is " well housed."
I am, Sir, your obliged servant,

with a common workman. This affair assumed later
another aspect, for in a short time there assembled about
30 Austrian soldiers with bayonets and about 12 Rus-
sians, accompanied by a ragamuffin crew, armed with
sticks and stones, who recommenced and prolonged the
fray. An immense tumult sooon ensued in the street,
the inhabitants barricaded their houses, and the Russian
party begin a regular bombariment with stones. Two
persons were killed and several wounded; one hurled
headlong from the bridge into the water. - A strong pa-
trol came up and restored order.

BILL.

On the motion for considering the report of this Bill,
Mr. J. O'CONNELL wished to move that the report
be considered this day six munths, but
The SPEAKER, said such a motion could not be
made under the new rule/.

Mr. O'CONNELL hoped then that another
opportunity would be afforded him for speaking on this
question.

Sir G. GREY said it only wanted five minutes to six,
and if the Hon. Gentleman spoke till six he could re-
sume his speech to-morrow.
Mr. O'CONNELL said he would accept the sugges-
tion of the Right Hon. Baronet with pleasure.—(Cheers,
and laughter.) The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded
to address the House amidst a rush of Members to the
door and continued laughter.
At Six o'clock the SPEAKER adjourned the House
till to-morrow.

PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

In the Exarninera' Court to-day the promoters of the
following Bill were declared to have complied with the
standing orders:—
Llncashire and Yorkshire and London and North-
Western Railway Companies (Transfer of interest in
the Preston and Wyre Railway, Harbour, and Dock, and
regulating management of the undertaking).
The case of the following Bill was considered, but the
decision adjourned till this day week:—
Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Rail•
way (Power to sell or lease to the London and North-
Western, the Chester and Holyhead, or the Shrewsbury
and Chester Railway Companies, or to amalgamate
therewith).

TENB SAUNDERSFOOT, AND
SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.)
The usual halt-yearly general meeting of the pro-
prietors of the above railway was held this afternoon,
at the Gresham Room; Mr. William Chadwick, chair-
man of the Board of Directors, in the chair.
The report represented. the affairs of the company to
be in a satisfactory condition; the line had nut been
commenced yet, nor would it be for some time to
come; but there was every prospect of its
being eventually carried out, and proving a profitable
undertaking. In future the expenditure, including in-
terest on paid up calls, would not exceed 201 per annum;
and the balance in hand, although small, would be amply
sufficient to meet the liabilities of the concern. The
balance-sheet showed that the receipts amounted to
717/. 163. Gd., and the expenditure to 589/. 2s. 3d., leaf-
ing a balance of 1281. 14s. 3d. in hand.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
stated that the commencement of the works would
entirely depend upon the progress made by the South
Wales Company in their line. It was probable that
that line would be opined to Swansea in about twelve
months, and then, no doubt, would be the time to
enter upon their works.
The report was unanimously adopted, and the retiring
auditors and directors having been re-elected, thanks
were voted to the Chairman and the meeting terminated.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Cologne, of the 9th February, says,
that Messrs. MARE, SCHNEIDER, and SCHAFFER, the
editors of the Nouvelle Gazette de Rhin, were placed
on their trial on the Bth, charged with having excited
the people to. refuse payment of taxes, and to organize
the Landstrum. The defence was, that the resolu-
tion of the National Assembly at Berlin was a suffi-
cient justification of the conduct of the defendants.
The jury took the same view of the question, and
returned a verdict of acquittal.
About a dozen persons, implicated in the disturb-
ances which took place at Halle, shortly after the
decision of the National Assembly in Berlin, re-
specting the nonpayment of taxes, have been sen-
tenced to various terms of imprisonment, from two to
eight years.

WESTMINSTER.

BRUTAL ASSAULT UPON A FEMALE .—John Kennedy
a private in the Scots Fusiliers, was finally examined,
charged with the following brutal assault upon Anne
Jennings, who described herself as an unfortunate
female:—

It appeared from the evidence adduced that on the
evening of Saturday week, at about seven o'clock, the
complainant was at the bar of the King's Arms, Tothill-
street, Westminster, taking a little porter with a
female acquaintance, when defendant, who was in
company with some of his comrades, accosted her in
very filthy language. She told him not to interfere
with her, as she wished to have nothing to say to
him, and declared that if he repeated his filthy
conduct to her she would throw the contents of the
drinking vessel she had in her hand over him. De-
fendant immediately laid hold of her and gave her a
push, in doing which a small portion of the beer was
spilt over him, when he attacked her with great fury,
struck her violently on the mouth, and kicked her so
desperately on the lower part of the abdomen, that it
was found necessary to take her to the hospital, where
she was scarcely able to move for a week in consequence
of the injuries she had received.
Defendant, in reply to the charge, said that the com-
plainant was most abusive to him as well as to those
who were in company with him, or he should not have
done so.

Mr. BRODERIP, considering the case too serious for
him to deal with summarily, ordered defendant to find
bail to answer the charge at the sessions. I❑ default he
was sent to prison.

EXTENSIVE FIRE AT LAMBETH.—This morning a
fire of a most destructive character broke out on the
premises of the General Wood Cutting Company, Ped-
lar's-acre, Lambeth, which terminated in 'destroying
property to a very great extent. It appears that shortly
after 11 o'clock smoke was seen issuing from a large
building occupied as a drying-room, which is situated at
the rear of the manufactory, and immediately fronting
the water. The place in question is of considerable ex -
tent, and was filled with wood. The flames
spread with amazing rapidity. In a few minutes
the West of England and seven other engines were
at the scene of the conflagration, together with the
large floating engine from Southwark.bridge, under the
management of Mr. Braidwood. An immense body of
water was thrown on the burning mass, but so great was
the fury of the flames, that they were not checked until
an advanced hour of the afternoon. The buildinz where
the fire originated and its contents were totally con-
sumed. The proprietors Bre insured in the West of
England Fire-office.
SUSPENSION OF THE HABEAS CORPUS IN IRELAND.
—A return of all persons whn have be en committed to,
or detained in prison in Ireland since the passing of the
Habeas Corpus Suspension Act, by warrant of the
Lord-Lieutenant or Chief Secretary, tor high treason or
treasonable practices, or suspicion thereof, has been
printed by order of the House of Commons. It appears
that from the Gth of July, 1848, the date of the first
warrant, to the 18th of Dec., 118 persons have been
committed to prison ; of these, 88 were discharged on
bail, and the remainder are still in custody.
Mr. Moscheles arrived in London a few days ago
from Leirzic, on a short visit to his daughter, who is

celebrated Dr. Bos ce, who died in 1779.

SPIRIT LABELS.—On a recent importation of a
Parcel of spirit labels, printed i❑ the English language,
it appeared that some difference of opinion arose whe-
ther they should be charged as manufactured at the
ad valorern duty of ten per cent., or as paper not other-
wise enumerated at the duty of 4id. per lb. weight,
and it has been decided that the ad valorern duty of ten
per cent. is the proper rate of duty chargeable upon such
articles.
