RACING SWEEPS.

At a former sessions a person named Thomas Casey
appealed against a conviction by Mr. Henry, the magis-
trate at Bow street, who had adjudged him to one
month's imprisonment, as a rogue and vagabond, for
having kept an office in the Haymarket for the sale of
shares in Derby and other racing sweeps.
Mr. CLARKSON, on behalf of the defendant, now ad-
mitted he had no grounds for prosecuting the appeal.
The defendant had further acknowledged, in a memorial
to the Government, that he had no defence to the charge.
Under these circumstances the Government, as he was
informed, would be satisfied by the defendant entering
into his own recognizances to appear to receive the judg-
ment of the court when called upon.

Mr. BODICIN, who appeared in support of the convic-
tion, said the prosecution had been instituted against
the defendant, who moved in a respectable sphere in
life, for being concerned in the keeping of an office for
the sale of chances in racing sweeps. This was an
offence under the Lotteries Act, and the parties con-
victed of it were liable to imprisonment as rogues and
vagabonds. After his conviction the defendant gave no-
tice of appeal; but subsequently he memorialised the
Secretary of State for the Home Department, acknow-
ledging that he had no answer to the conviction, and
throwing himself upon the mercy of the Executive.
This being the first case of this description, the Govern-
ment were not unwilling that leniency should be shown;
consequently he had no objection, upon the conviction
being confirmed, to the defendant being only required to
enter into his own sureties to appear to receive the
judgment of the Court when called upon. This course
had been adopted with the sanction of the Attorney-
General, in the belief' that this prosecution would have
the effect of checking, if not altogether preventing, the
practices of which the defendant had admitted his guilt.
It mu-t not, however, be supposed that the leniency
now shown would be extended to any future cases. On
the contrary, the authorities were determined, in all
future cases, to proceed against the parties with the
utmost rigour. _ _ _

The coTiviction was then confirmed, and the defendant
entered into his own recognizinces in the sum of 80/, to
appear to receive judgment when called upon.

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian Staats Anzeiger of the 20th January
publishes two projects of law relating to the ad-
ministration of communes, and of provinces and
districts. Those bills (which will be laid be-
fore the Chambers shortly after their convocation)
set forth that all exemptions from the communal
land or house times are abolished (except in cases
where the State taxes of the above kind are not re-
quired) ; that every Prussian twenty-four years of
age, who has been a resident in his commune during
one year, and who is in full possession of all his civic
rights, is eligible for all the offices in the communes,
and that the qualification for communal electors are
land or house property of the value of from 200
thalers (301.) to 500 thalers, according to the popu-
lation of the respective communes; or clear yearly
incomes, varying also according to population, from
150 thalers (about 221.) to 200 thalers. It is pro-
posed to elect the members of the communal councils
for three years, and to pay the burgomasters. Some
of the candidates in Silesia are holding out to the
peasantry the prospect of a division of landed property.
Every endeavour is made to secure the return of
the reactionary candidates to the Diet. The officers
of the army, who are reactionists to a man, have
summoned their soldiers and commanded them how
they are to vote—the clergy preach in favour of the
reactionaries—and the Roman Catholic bishops have
issued pastoral letters, denouncing the opposers of the
Government,

THE GERMAN PARLIAMENT.
In the sitting of the German Parliament, at
Frankfort, of the 19th inst., the following impor-
tant resolution was adopted, in reference to the
Supreme Head of the Empire. After various orators
had spoken, the House proceeded at an early hour
IN a division.
The original proposal of the committee, viz., "The
dignity of the Supreme Head of the Empire is
vested in one of the reigning German Princes," was
adopted. Ayes, 258 ; noes, 211. Rotenham's mo-
tion for a Directory was rejected. Noes, 361 ;
ayes„
The motion of Schuler, Wigard, and others, which
would make every German eligible to the supreme
dignity, was also rejected. Noes, 339; ayes, 122.
A correspondent adds—
"We do not yot know whether the Supreme
Power is to be hereditary or not; nor in what
manner the Sovereign, for the first time, is to be
elected. All motions bearing on these points will
probably, according to a proposal of Linde's, be left
in abeyance for the present.
" The event of to-day is, of course, regarded as a
victory gained by Prussia ; hut the Prussians do not
ilc all fed sanguine as to the substantiation of an
hereditary supremacy owl- the German State.
" Tognorrow is the Administrator's birthday;
there is some talk of a review on the occasion.
Some military display was made before the Imperial
Palace this evening; a Prussian hand playing. A
very large crowd assembled, but tqe peace was not
broken, as it has been once or twice lately among
the soldiers themselves. The democratic papers
would insinuate that these public-house brawls have
something of a political colouring ; but this is utterly
falsri."

MAGGIONE V. DELAFIELD.

This action was brought by the plaintiff, who was em-
ployed as foreign correspondent and interpreter at the
Royal Italian Opera, Covent Garden, to recover balance
of salary alleged to be due to him, judgment having been
obtained by default, the case came before the Under-
Sheriff a few days back, when the damages were assessed
at 195/.

Mr. KENNEDY now moved, on the part of the
defendant, for a new trial, on the ground that the judg-
ment bad been obtained by mistake, and in the event of
that not being sufficient, on the the ground that the
damages ought to be reduced by 801.—Rule nisi granted.

BALL IN AID OF THE ANNUITY FUND FOR THE
ORIGINATOR OF THE GOVERNESSES' BENEVOLENT IN-
STITUTION, —AB our readers have no doubt heard of the
existence of that excellent charity, the Governesses' Be-
nevolent Institution, but few perhaps of them are aware
that the originator of that excellent institution, Miss
Jane Tucker, is at this moment dependent upon the
casual assis'aece of private friends for her subsistence.
A number of benevolent and influential individuals have
formed themselves into a committee for the purpose of
endeavouring to raise a fund for the purchase of an
annuity for Miss Jane Tucker, who has now passed the
67th Year of her age, and a ball is to take place this
evening, at the Hanover-square Rooms, is aid of the
fund. The members of the musical profession have been
on this, as on all other occasions, the first to offer their
valuable services gratuitously in the cause of charity.
Mademoiselle Nissen, Misses Bassano, Messant, Pane,
L. Fyne, and Ransford, and Mr. Bodda and Mr. Sims
Reeves Kill all sing in the course of the evening; and
Miss Kate Loder will perform on the pianoforte. We
feel assured that the rooms will be crowded, and this
will bo the best attended ball of the season.

NIAGGIONE v. DELAFIELD.

of salary alleged to be due to him, judgment having been

FRANCE.

The Credit says, " It is beyond doubt than an ex-
pedition is planned, and is to be directed towards
Civita Vecchia. We learn this evening that some
officers, on leave of absence in Paris, have received
orders to hold themselves in readiness to set out im-
mediately."
A. letter from Toulon of the 15th inst. states that
no movement has been observed for some days
in the flotilla of steam-vessels prepared for sea.
The usual service, however, between Toulon and
Algiers has been suspended, and several detach-
ments of troops which were preparing to join their
regiments in Africa have received counter orders.
It would appear that the Government wishes to
have as great a number of steam-vessels as possible
ready at their command, in case of necessity. The
object of the expedition is enveloped in the most
profound mystery.

The 'POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,

Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis
puting a Policy upon any ground whatever.
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PRE MIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNER HIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested, On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can Ise recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
equator.
No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.

TIC DOLOREUX CURABLE.—TOOTHACHE.
JAMES' CELEBRATED ASTILIAN TINC-
tI FOR THE TIC DOLOREUX,
will prove an invaluable medicine to those suffering from this most
excruciating and hitherto-considered incurable complaint. A know-
ledge of its surprising efficacy has induced the proprietors to bring it
more extensively before the Public than has hitherto been done, and
thus confer a blessing upon thousands now labouring under that
distressing malady; the first application not only easing the patient
of all pain, but effecting in almost every case, a lasting cure.
As a remedy for Toothache, the proprietors can confidently recom-
mend it as one that cannot be surpassed.
This medicine is also a certain specific for Spasms, however violent,
especially in the stomach or bowels, and from its perfect freedom
from anything of a deleterious character, may be administered under
any circumstances with entire safety.

SAXONY.

The Saxon Diet was opened on the 17th by the
KING in person. His MAJESTY was received with
great enthusiasm. In the course of the Speech from
the Throne, the KING thus speaks of the Consti-
tution

" The present Diet is opened at an importaat epoch
of the history of Germany. The work of the Consti-
tution will be speedily finished. Let us hope that it
will secure the national liberty, and an enduring union
that will be manifest to all at home and abroad, and my
Government will not hesitate to do all in its power to
assist in the realisation of these great objects. • Nor less,
gentlemen, do I reckon on your support when the per-
formance of those duties assigned to you by the Consti-
tution shall be required of you."
It was officially stated by one of the Ministers
during the sitting that, like all the other laws passed
by the National Assembly in Frankfort, the one re-
lating to bills of exchange would have been promul-
gated in Saxony, did not that law require some addi-
tional provisi,ns for that kingdom. Those provisions
would be submitted without delay to the chambers.
With respect to the fundamental rights of the Ger-
man nation, as voted by the Frankfort Assembly, the
Saxon Government did not feel justified in publishing
them until they had been submitted to the Chambers
with a proposition specially relating to them.
This Ministerial declaration embodies a principle
which is disallowed by the Frankfort Assembly., viz.,
the right of the separate Government to come to s
concordance with the above Assembly respecting the
future Con,titution for Germany. Among the inter
nal reforms announced by the KING in his Speech,
were the separation of the administration of justice
from the State, the simplifying of the law and the
rendering it cheaper, and the removal of several bur-
dens on land. An improved system of national edu-
cation is also promised.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

There is very little news in the Paris papers of
Monday.
The liberal 'papers denounce the intrigues of the
reactionaries, and the reactionary papers do not now
attempt to conceal that intrigues have been going on
against the Republic ever since it was proclaimed,
and that many of those who accepted it and in order
to obtain seats in the Assembly, swore to preserve it,
did so only the more easily to betray it. Perjury has
ever been considered venial, if not praiseworthy, by
the reactionary party.

According to the Estafette, there is to be a great
meeting to-morrow in Paris of the provincial leaders
of the Legitimatist party, in order to concert mea-
sures for the purpose of bringing about a restoration.

The election of M. BOULAY as Vice-President of
the Republic is considered as a check given to the
Ministry, and the National, considering the speech of
M. BOULAY as a protest on the part of the PRESIDENT,
Of whom M. BOULAY is the inthnete friend, spinet

MIDDLESEX. SESSIONS.

Yesterday the Court sat at Westminster for the dis-
posal of motions and appeals. There were ten appeals
entered upon the paper, all having relation to the settle-
ment and removal of paupers. Mr. Sergeant Adams,
the Assistant Judge, presided.

THE CHARGE AGAINST A CLERGYMAN.
Mr. BODKIN said he had an application to make on
behalf of the Rev. Henry Charles Sellers, who had re-
cently been charged with an indecent assault upon a man
named Samuel Cooper, a private seller in the Fusiliers.
The grand jury, at the last sessions at Clerkenwell,
threw out the bill against Mr. Sellers, in consequence,
as he understood, of the prosecutor's absence. But the
friends of Mr. Sellers, as well as Mr. Sellers himself,
were most anxious that the case should go to trial,
having entire confidence in the result; and the applica-
tion sow was for the Court to continue the defendant's
recognizances till the next sessions.
Mr. Sergeant ADAMS said the adjutant of the regiment
in which the prosecutor was serving had called upon him
since the bill had been thrown out by the grand jury at
Clerkenwell, to say he was not aware of the bill having
been sent before the grand jury at those sessions, and
further, that the prosecutor was at that time under arrest
for a military offence. The bill could be preferred before
the next grand jury.
Mr. BODKIN asked whether the second bill would be
preferred before the same grand jury who had ignored
the first ?

Mr. Sergeant ADAMS replied in the negative. Under
the circumstances he should at once assent to the appli-
cation, and continue the defendant's recognizances till
the next sessions.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 16th have arrived.
The Minister of Marine, ROCA DE TOGORES had
an attack of apoplexy on the 14th January, from
which it is not expected he will recover.
The Gavetiz contains the following decree of
amnesty:—

"ROYAL DECREE.
"Conformably to the wish of my Council of Ministers,
I now decree the following ;--
"Art. 1. The measures adopted by the Government
in virtue of the authority conferred upon them by the
law of the 13th of March, 1848, shall now terminate,
and cease to have further effect. Those persons who, in
consequence of that law, are now suffering imprisonment,
shall imrnsdiately have their entire libt-rty.
Art 2. Those persons who, by virtue of the afore-
said law, have been banished from the Spanish kingdom,
may return to these realms on presenting themselves to
the various constables, from whom they shall obtain the
necessary passports, conformably to the instructions
which these respective officers have received from the
Government.

"Art. 3. The benefits of this decree do not apply to
those who, from any circumstance whatever, are
amenable to the public tribunals."

The Clamor Publico says,

" We have heard that the a overnment seriously thinks
of regulating the National Debt. It is even said that
the principal bases which the Government intends to
adopt are already under discussion in the Council of
Ministers."

There has been no recent fighting in Catalonia.
It was rumoured, but no great degree of credit was
attached to the rumour, that CONCHA was endea-
vouring to enter into negotiations with CABRERA.
On the Bth, the corvette Mazarredo and the bri-
gantine Volador left Barcelona for Gaeta, the first
having on board JOSE BUSTILLOS, commander of the

" The operation of introducing a catheter through an impermeable
stricture is, without doubt, the most difficult in the whole range of
surgical operations, and demands all the prudence, science, and skill
of a master. The art can only be acquired, and that gradually, by
frequent practice."—Liston's Operative Surgery.

A certain remedy for disorders of the pulmonary organs—in
difficulty of breathing—in redundency of phlegm—in incipient con

unerring efficacy. In asthma, and in winter cough, they have never
been known to fail.

" Sir,—l cannot resist informing you of the extraordinary effect
that I have experienced by taking only a few of your lozenges. I
had a cough for several weeks that defied all that had been pre-
scribed for me, and yet I got completely rid of it by taking about half
a small box of your lozenges, which I find are the only ones that re-
lieve the cough without deranging the stomach or digestive organs.

" ROYAL DECREE.

" Conformably to the wish of my Council of Ministers,
I now decree the following :
"Art. 1. The measures adopted by the Government
in virtue of the authority conferred upon them by the
law of the 13th of March, 1848, shall now terminate,
and cease to have further effect. Those persons who, in
consequence of that law, are now suffering imprisonment,
shall immediately have their entire liberty.
' Art 2. Those persons who, by virtue of the afore-
said law, have been banished from the Spanish kingdom,
may return to these realms on presenting themselves to
the various constables, from whom they shall obtain the
necessary passports, conformably to the instructions
which these respective officers have received from the
Government.

" Art. 3. The benefits of this decree do not apply to
those who, from any circumstance whatever, are
amenable to the public tribunals."
The Clamor Publico says,

" We have heard that the Government seriously thinks
of regulating the National Debt. It is even said that
the principal bases which the Government intends to
adopt are already under discussion in the Council of
Ministers."

There has been no recent fighting in Catalonia.
It was rumoured, but no great degree of credit was
attached to the rumour, that CONCHA was endea-
vouring to enter into negotiations with CABRERA.
On the Bth, the corvette Mazarredo and the bri-
gantine Volador left Barcelona for Gaeta, the first
having on board JOSE BUSTILLOS, commander of the
Spanish forces in the Mediterranean. It is reported
that they are about to convey the Porn to the Ba-
learic Isles, where arrangements are already made for
his reception.

IN RE JOHN POWELL.

In this case a point of considerable importance re-
specting the County Courts was raised. Mr. Cooke op-
posed the insolvent, who had been a builder at South-
ampton, for Messrs. Chambers, ironmongers, Bishops-
gate-street. The debt was 131. 6s. 6d., and the costs
5L 3s. 10d. Judgment was signed before the insolvent
petitioned the Court.
Mr. CooKE called the attention of the Court to several
clauses in the County Courts Act, and expressed himself
of opinion that, in cases where judgment was signed
before the petition in this court, the adjudication would
not benefit the applicants. The point was certainly an
important one, and his clients would, in his opinion, have
their remedy.

The COURT required some further evidence, and the
case was adjourned.

The point mooted by the Learned Counsel will affect
numerous cases in the court, especially under the Pro•
tection Act. It has been decided that an order of com-
mitment made by a county court, before a petition in
this court, is operative; but no case has been determined
respecting a judgment by a county court before a petitio❑
under either of the Acts of Parliament.

TURKEY.

The Cologne Gazette has the following from
Vienna of the 27th ult. :—" We have received intel-
ligence from Constantinople that KOSSUTH and his
companions have been embarked in English vessels
at Constantinople. The Ambassadors of Austria
and Russia, as also Prince It ADZI NULL, have left
Constantinople. Previous to doing so they declared
that a Russian fleet was prepared to enter
the Bosphorus. The Ambassadors of England and
France have acted in accord in the affair. Sir STRAT-
FORD CANNING has given orders to the English
Admiral to proceed with his fleet to the Dardanelles,
and to the Governor of Malta to send him all the ves-
sels of war that he can dispose of."
Letters from Naples of the 28th state that intelli-
gence had been received there that the Hungarian
refugees had escaped from Widdin, and had embarked
on board a Greek vessel.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 3. THE NETHERLANDS
COINAGE.—In consequence of the law adopted by the
Leg:slative Chambers of the Netherlandi for the
calling in of the gold five and ten florin pieces,
and their exchange for paper money, which shall
be subsequently exchanged for silver coin, the
Belgian Chambers have determined that this
measure, having been adopted in anticipation of
an immense depreciation in gold, at a period
more or less remote, the Chambers decide to engage
the Minister of Finance to decree that, at an epoch
coincident with that which the said coin is to be
exchanged in Holland, it shall also cease to have
legal circulation in Belgium. The Chambers, also,
decided to suggest to the Minister whether, on the
same ground, it would not be prudent to suspend
every ulterior issue of national gold coin.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sfit,—May I ask you the favour to correct
a slight, though to me not unimportant error, in the
gratifying intelligence which appeared in your
journal of last night, respecting the Arctic Expedi-
tions, and which I had the honour of being able to
communicate personally to the Lords of the Admiralty
yesterday. It is stated that the communications
were made to the Admiralty by the Editor of the
Mercantile and Shipping Gazette, instead of the
Shipping and Mercantile Gazette, the correct title of
the paper.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your very obedient Servant,
WILLIAM MITCHELL.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING.—By the
steamer just arrived from Havre our corresnondent in-
forms us that the sales of cotton yesterday at that port
received a considerable impetus from the New York
advices per the Niagara,viet Liverpool, and that a rise
of from If. to lf. 50c. took place, the sales amounting to
1,528 bales; still, however, the market was anything but
steady. The St. Dennis, from New York, the France-
et Brazil, from Rio Janeiro, and the Adele, from Porto
Rico, arrived yesterday at Hasre.
NEW Youx, SEPT. 19.—Mr. James Hudson, the
eminent Irish comedian, who has just arrived here from
London, appeared on Monday evening at the Broadway
Theatre, and was extremely suceerstal. The audience
was large, and greeted him with enthusiasm.

LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1849.

Very considerable excitement still continues to be
manifested by those who are over-timorous as to the
chances of Sunday desecration, in regard to the new
arrangements at the Post-office, originated by Mr.
ROWLAND HILL, and authorised by the Marquis of
CLANUICARDE. Generally speaking, the sticklers for
the better observance of the Sabbath, or, as some more
correctly pronounce it, for the bitter observance of
the Sabbath, are so carried away by the zeal of or-
thodoxy as to be rendered deaf to anything at all like
serious discussion or sober argument. With these
phrenetic gentlemen we do not attempt for one mo-
ment to debate the advisability or the non-advisability
of the new regulations. Our remarks are
exclusively addressed to those who still pre-
serve their common sense in all its serenity in
the midst of their profound reverence fur religion.
Of them alone, and fortunately they constitute the
majority of the population, we would inquire the
force and reason of their present outcry against the
changes making in the great establishment at St.
Martin's-le-Grand. What are the actual facts which
have been so distorted as to have excited all this hubbub
against what is ridiculously called an infidel Govern-
ment ? Why, we will here state the matter in the
plainest possible language. Now for some consider-
able time past, and up to the present period, there
have been on the average from 30 to $0 clerks and
messengers employed on Sundays at tbeGenearnad
General Post-
office, and in too many instances these clerks
mes-
sengers have been engaged at work during the hours of
Divine service. To correct this, together with a num-
ber of other grievances, the authorities have introduced
several new regulations. According to these new
regulations, the number of officials already employed
on Sundays will be increased by an addition of about
twenty. five others. From the facilities of operation
afforded by this means it is calculated by the au-
thorities in St. Martiti'sle-Grand that there will no
longer remain any necessity for these clerks and
messengers continuing the duties
during the intervals of public worshiu•—namely,
from ten o'clock A.M. to fiVO o'clock P.m. on
Sundays. Whatever work is requisite will be
done before or after those hours, in the
morning and in the evening. It should be
remembered, moreover, that the employ went of these
clerks and messengers is not in any respect compul-
sory, as is represented, but altogether voluntary.
