PRUSSIA.

The Prussian Staats Anzieger of the 26th pub:ishes
the following:—
" From the occurrences yesterday in the Donhof-
Plata and thereabouts, in consequence of which the sol•
diers had to use their arms with energy, it seems that a
part of the inhabitants tmtertain the erroneous idea that
the state of siege exists no longer in Berlin and within
a radius of eight miles. I take, therefore, this occasion
to declare that the state of siege is by no means removed,
but is still in full force.—Berlin, April 28th, 1849.

HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, MAY I.—The Ambassador of her
Britannic Majesty yeste:rday had the honour of being
admitted to an audience with the KING, at which he
delivered his credentials. He was received with the
usual formalities.

Baron B. MARCONAT, the Chamberlain of the
Grand Duke of SaxoNT, also had the honour of
being presented to the KING.
It is generally reported that it is his MAJESTY'S
intention to give public audiences, according to the
example of his grandfather. This will gain him
great popularity. His MAJESTY continues to consult
his uncle, Prince FREDKRICK, on all matters of busi-
ness. The character of Prince FREDERICK has
always been held in the highest esteem and unbounded
respect.
His MAJESTY, a few days since, was taking his
daily walk in a wood, between eight and nine o'clock
in the morning, when he saw one of the stable boys
thrown from his horse and quite unable to rise. The
KING instantly hurried up to him, and with the as-
sistance of his aid-de-camp carried the young lad to
a small public-house not far off, where he desired
that every attention should be paid to him.
Letters from St. Peteriburgh speak of new modifi-
cations projected by the Russian Government in the
tariff of import duties on sugar. Contrary to the
present system, refined sugar in loaves is to be ad-
mitted at a higher rate, -the amount of which is how-
ever not yet fixed. Nor is it stated at what time the
measure will come into operation, but it is generally
expected that it will be carried into effect at the
opening of the navigation, this year.
The Second Chambox of the States General is
continuing the discussion on the fundamental laws.—

It is said that RADETEICT has consented to reduce
the indemnity demanded of Sardinia to 80,000,000 f.,
and that the Sardinian Plenipotentiaries have assented
to those terms.
The French army continues at Civita Vecchia, and
will not march on Rome until the POPE shall have
consented to a general amnesty and to the grant of
a more liberal constitution.
Leghorn still holds out, and the Grand Duke of
TUSCANY has not returned to Florence.
The Governmental Commission which administers

DUTIES ON WINE.

'ro the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain arid Ireland, in Parliament assembled.

Thu humble petitio❑ of the undersigned inhabitants
of London and Westminster atd their vicinities.

That your petitioners, viewing with regret how
the high duties on wine not only impede trade, but ren-
der this best of stimulants totally unattainable by the
poor, and even by those of moderate fortune, humbly
play that, as no duty exists on home-made wines in
England, and, as our best malt liquor is only subject to
a tax of two pence the gallon (regulated by the duty on
malt and hops), so the duty on our colonial wines should,
in no instance, exceed such an amount.

Indeed, inasmuch as colonies require bounties on pro•
duction to draw population into them, and our domestic
exports are proportionally augmented by its increase, it
becomes a serious question if any duty on colonial wines
should exist at all, or, at least, if it should exceed that of
hoer, particularly as the whole amount of duties collected
on colonial wines has never amounted to more than
50,0001. per annum; while the duty on hops and malt
exceeds 5,000,0001., and if one were substituted for the
other, the national revenue would not be diminished.
Your petitioners humbly call the attention of your
Honourable House to the fact, that since it has been ge-
nerally known what excellent wines can bo produced in
Australia, many industrious German settlers have emi-
grated thither. Foreign emigration would, doubtless.
for the same reason be promoted among numerous useful
settlers from southern Europe, who look, in quitting
been accustomed. Added to this, all such emigrants
would take with them the knowledge relating to the silk-
worm, the cultivation of the olive and other fruits, which
their native land, for congenial

Your petitioners also verily believe that if colonial
wines were taxed no higher than the ordinary beverage
of England, no measure would so much tend to force
zuch European countries as refuse an equitable recipro-
city in commerce, to follow our example, especially as
they would foresee that in the future import of wine, we
could soon do without tiara.

great artist in pen and ink, Mrs. Troll() pe, has given it,

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Mdlle. Parodi appeared last evening, in the character
of Leonora, in Donizetti's opera La Favorite, and it is
not too much to say that those who have not seen MdllP.
Parodi in Leonora have not seen the opera. Former
representatives of this character have been content to
sing the music of Donizetti more or less correctly—to
appear in a succession of various costumes, and to act
the character either not at all, or as that of a
mere walking lady. They have been either unable
or afraid to sound the depths of passion which lie beneath
the surface of the character, and to represent Leonora
as she really is, a being of intense feeling, energetic will,
ungovernable impulses, but yet who loves—loves,ardently,
impassionedly, loves as only the children of the South
can love—with all her soul, and all her heart, and all her
mind, and all her strength. Those depths of passion have,
however, been sounded by Parodi; and her Leonora is
one of the most wonderful pieces of impassioned acting
ever seen. Her countenance expresses each change of
passion in the most marvellous manner, and her voice is
at times choked as it were by emotion. Her opening
scene with Fernando was a delightful representation of
the fondest and most impassioned love, and then her
scene, when informed that Fernando is to be
her husband, was superb. Never has the con-
flict of contending passions been more artistically
represented; and in the finale to the third act, when
Fernando breaks his sword and renounces his allegiance,
she seemed the impersonation of the wildest horror and
despair. The last scene in the cloister was a perfect
triumph of art. Who could see the heart-broken creature
listening to the voice of her lover as he takes the
monastic vows—who could see her fall at his feet in
abject supplication—who could see her die in his
arms without feeling for her and him, and cursing the
King who had been the cause of all this misery? Mdlle.
Parodi has now vindicated her right to the throne of
lyric tragedy. She is, without exception, the greatest
actress on the stage; she has made the character of
Leonora, and with it, that of the opera, which will hence-
forth be La Favourita not in name only, but in deed and
in truth. She was called on several times during
the course of the performance, and at the con-
clusion she was three times called on. and on each
occasion bouquets were showered on her from all parts
of the house. The cast of the opera was exceedingly
strong—Gardoni, who was in excellent voice, was the
Fernando, Coletti the Alfonso, and Lablache the Monk
Balthazar. The house was very well attended.

Triumvirate of Rome were directing all their dis-
posable forces on Civita Vecchia, but this demonstra-
tion was not regarded in a serious light, and, on the
first opportunity, the battalions of the Roman Re-
public will not fail to disband themselves. The fol-
lowing is the proclamation addressed by General Ou-
DINOT immediately on his landing :
" Inhabitants of the Roman States! In presence of
the events which agitate Italy the French Republic re-
solved to send a corps d'armee on your territory, not to
defend the present Government, which it has not recog-
nised, but to avert great misfortunes from your
country. France does not arrogate to herself the
right to regulate interests which are before all, those
of the Roman people, and which extend themselves to
the whole of Europe, and to all the Christian world;
she has only considered that by her position she was
particularly called on to interfere to facilitate the estab-
lishment of a regime equally removed from the abuies
which have been for ever destroyed by the generosity of
the illustrious L'ius IX., and from the anarchy of late
days. The flag which I have just hoisted on your shores
is that of peace, of order, of conciliation, and of true
liberty. Round it will rally all those who wish to co-
operate in the accomplishment of this patriotic and ss-
cred work.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The late reverses of the Imperial army in Hungary
have caused the Prussian Government to concentrate
an army of observation on the frontiers of Austrian
Silesia. The Russian army (which some time ago
attempted to force the defiles of the Rothenthurm)
has now entered Transylvania by the Bukowina
and by the Turzburg defiles near Cronstadt. A
second attempt to force the defiles at Rothenthurm,
which one part of their army made, proved a com-
plete failure. It is likewise asserted that the Rus-
sian intervention will not be confined to Transylvania,
but that another Russian army is about to enter the
Austrian territories at Cracow.
The news from Pesth is to the effect that the Hun-
garians have obtained possession of the island of
Schiitt (on the Danube), and that they have cut off
the retreat of the Imperialist army. The Aus-
trian Commander-in-Chief's head-quarters were at
Raab, but beyond this nothing was known
at Vienna of the respective positions of
the contending armies. According to the
last advices, the vanguard of the Russian
army, composed of Cossacks, had already entered
that city. It was not, however, supposed that these
Cossacks would come to Vienna, but it was generally
thought they would at once proceed to Upper
Hungary.

twenty-four hours, apparently died at Brokeboy. Her

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

Lucrezia Borgia was performed here last evening, for
the purpose of enabling Mademoiselle Angri to appear
in the character of Orsini, the character in which Albuni
has for the last two seasons created such a furore. A
great deal of curiosity existed about the Orsini of Made-
moiselle Angri, and speculations were rife us to whether
or not she would obtain the double encore in the Brindisi,
which with Alboni had become stereotyped. The result
was favourable to the new contralto, who has already ac-
quired great popularity with the public. It is true that in
the Brindisi we bad neither the exquisitely sustained shake
on the high G, nor the glowing and mellow lower notes, to
which her admirable predecessor had accustomed us,
but their place was supplied by an immense deal of
energy and feeling, whieb the audience took iu good
part, administering their applause with liberal una-
nimity, accompanied by the double encore in question.
in the earlier scenes Mademoiselle Angri made the
part of Orsini unusually prominent, and ob-
tained considerable applause in the romance,
Nella fatal di Rimini." In the second act she in-
troduced an air, with roulades, we believe by Picini.
On the whole her talent shines less conspicuously in this
opera t h in in either Scmiramide or the Barbicre.
as Lucrezia, was as magnificent as ever; and Mario and
Tamburini, who sustained the other principal charac-
ters, were both in excellent voice. The band and chorus
displayed all their accustomed excellence, and the ani-
mated " Bando a ce triste immagini," in which all the
principals join the chorus, with striking effect, was en-
cored with acclamatiOns. Grisi, Mario, and Tamburini
were compelled to re-appear before the curtain at the end
of each of the three acts. Her Majesty and Prince Al-
bert honoured the performance with their presence.

ITALY.

On the 24th the Constituent Assembly of Rome
drew up a protest against the French invasion, and
dispatched it to Civita Vecchia to General OUDINOT.
The Assembly then summoned the triumvirate to its
presence to give an account of the proposed French
interference, who having attended, Mentrii stated
that they had received no official communication on
the matter ; that they had faith in the good intentions
of France, but it was nevertheless necessary not to
neglect all measures requisite for the country's safety.
The Assembly then, at the suggestion of MAZZINI,
resolved, in conformity with the new Constitution,
that though firmly determined to resist the union of
the temporal and ecclesiastical powers in one and the
same person, they were ready to assure to the POPE
the full and perfect exercise of all his ecclesiastical
powers. A large meeting was announced for the
26th, to protest against the invasion, and the domi-
nancy of the ecclesiastical authority in Rome.
The Austrian General NUGENT died at Brescia on
the 27th ult.

gence had been received at Constantinople that an

March, at Teheran, had been put down by the per-
sonal energy of the young Shah of PERSIA.

KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL.—Yesterday evening a meeting of the committee of this charity was held in the
board room, Portugal-street, Lincoln's-Inn-fields; Charles
Heberden, Esq., in the chair. Flom the report, it appeared
that the number of patients during the year had amounted
to nearly 20,000, making a total since the foundation of the
charity of about 130,00.). It appeared that the Right Hon.
the Earl of Carlisle had consented to preside over the tenth
annual festival on Saturday next, when a very energetic
effort will be made to render the result beneficial to the ge-
neral funds of the charity, as well as adequate to supply the
deficiency of income during the past year. Some routine

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, MAY 4.—At our market to-day there is a
good supply of wheat, and the demand being limited, buyers
succeed in purchasing at rather easier prices. Good English
barley sells full as well as last week ; foreign is more difficult
to dispose of. Oats and shelling command quite as much
money. No change in beans or other articles,

We have been favoured with the following communi-
cations relating to the imprisonment and release of Lady
Horatia Weston:—
HER. MAJESTY'S CONSUL-GENERAL IN WALLACHIA.

Mr. Colquhoun presents his compliments to Lord
Dudley Stuart, and begs to forward a letter which he
received yesterday from Transylvania, whither Mr.
Colquhoun had occasion to send a confidential porson to
reclaim Lady Horatio Weston, who has been shut up in
the fortress of Karlsbourg for some months. Lady
Horatio reached Bucharest in safety yesterday, having
met with every attention from General Bern, who re-
quested Mr. Colquhoun's messenger to forward the en-
closed letter for Lord Dudley Stuart, which Mr. Colqu-

HANOVER.

_ .
GOTTINGEN, Aram 29.—0 n receiving the intelli-
gence of the dissolution of the Chambers of Hanover,
the civic guard immediately assembled and decided
upon an address to the KING, praying his MAJESTY
forthwith to issue writs for the election of a new
House of Representatives. The address went on to
say that the Civic Guard of Gottingen considers the
German constitution obligatory, and will defend it
against every opponent.
A deputation was at the same time appointed, and
set out for Hanover the same day, for the purpose of
presenting the address to his MAJESTY.
We hear from numerous sources that the King
of HANOVER, is seriously indisposed. His MAJESTY
is suffering from attacks of spasm in the stomach.

THE TURKISH QUESTION.

The Deutsche Zeitung reports, but on what authority
we are not informed, that the dispute between
Russia and Turkey had been arranged through the
mediation of the Prussian Chargé d'Affaires at Con-
stantinople, on the following conditions :-1. That the
converts to Islamism were not to be appointed to any
public situations under the Turkish Government;'
and 2. That the other fugitives were to receive pass-
ports for America.

HAMBURGH.

HAMBURGH, OCT. 9.—A semi-official article in
the Prussian Staateanzeiger declares that Prussia has
now received full satisfaction for the late affront to
its troops on their arrival at Hamburgh, by the
prompt investigation of the matter by the authorities,
the proceedings against the perpetrators, and the
excellent treatment of the troops quartered with the
inhabitants ; consequently the stay here of the troops
is only extended with a view to the unsettled affairs
in the north.

IIETP:11 rort Till: OBSERVANCE OF THE TARIFF.

"1. Articles of nt w invention he ifispatched,
imposing on them tht duties oppointeil for those similar
or analogous to them for the first time, remitting sam-
ples of them to the Directors-Gen-ral of Customs, in
order that her Majesty's Government may accord the
duties which they ought to pay, as a general role. If
they should have no analogy or similarity with any
other article of the tariff, they shall pay for the first
time fifteen per cent. ad valorem in national vessels, and
eighteen in foreign ones.
" 2. All articles which are presented in small quanti-
ties and of little value, not expressly comprehended in
the tariff, shall pay fifteen per cent. ad valorem in
national vessels, and eighteen per cent. in foreign ones,
giving an account in each case to the chief authority.
"3. For the dispatch of goods ad valorem the parties
interested will have to present to the administrators of
customs the original invoices. If the emplcyes should
not conform themselves with them, and should think it
their duty to fix others, and the parties interested should
not oppose any difficulty, they shall pass at the prices
mutually agreed upon. If the parties interested should
not conform to this, the proper account shall be drawn
up, which shall be remitted to the chief authority,
accompanied by samples of the goods if possible; the
Treasury being able to acquire the property of the effects,
paying to their owners the amount of the invoice pre-
sented, and 10 per cent. more, as is disposed at this day
for some articles.

"4. Articles which are the produce of and proceed
from the Spanish possessions in Asia, and which have
not got the duties which they have to pay signalised as
such in the tariff, shall pay only the fifth part of the
duties imposed on similar foreign goods, if they come
under the Spanish flag. In the contrary case the duties
imposed on the foreign flag coming from foreign coun-
tries shall be exacted."

The publication of the tariff in the Gaceta of the
6th does not include the tariff on cottons (which are
made the subject of a separate chapter), and does
not go beyond the letter Ain the general tariff. The
following are among the enumerated articles :—Steel
(acero) is charged 30 reals per quintal if unwrought,
and 45 reels if cast into bars of whatever size. These
duties refer to steel imported under the Spanish flag ;
they are 40 reels and 60 reels respectively under a
foreign flag. This is a great reduction from the
duties of the old tariff, which were 2 reels per pound
weight on unwrought steel, and 8 reels on wrought
ditto, with 15 per cent. additional when imported
under a foreign flag. Needles (agujas) were charged
30 reels duty per pound weight, with 15 per cent.
additional under a foreign flag. They are now taxed
4+ reels per pound weight under the Spanish flag,
and 5+ under a foreign flag. Common pins (alfileres)
of all qualities and sizes are reduced from 8 reals per
pound, and 25 per cent. for the flog, to 2 40-100 and
2 90-100 reals per pound.
London, England, 1849-10-13

THE ROYAL FORESTS.

We promised our readers, on a recent occasion,
some details respecting :the' actual condition, ma-
nagement, and produce of the Royal Forests. The
principal domains of this class are eleven in number
—four of which, including the New Forest, lie, for-
tunately, contiguous to the public dockyards in the
county of Southampton ; three are situated in N orth-
amptonshire, one in Gloucestershire, one in Notting-
hamshire, one in Oxfordshire, and one in Essex.
In two of these—viz., Rockingham and Sherwood
forests—the rights and interest.of the Crown have,
with the sanction of Parliament, Leen decisively
alienated • in some others the respective in-
terest of: claimants have been completely cl, fined
and separated; but in the New Forest, and one
or two more, these conflicting rights remain still
without any satisfactory regulation. Besides the
woods above mentioned, there are also the Royal
Forest of Windsor, with which most of our readers
will be acquainted, Parkhurst Forest in the Lie of
Wight, and Delamere Forest in the county of Ches-
ter. The aggregate extent of all these domains is not
exactly stated, but it must considerably exceed
100,000 acres. The rights of the Crown, however,
over these lands are not, as we have said, absolute,
and in some cases a material limitation is placed upon
the number of acres which may at one time
be enclosed for plantations. We take the
New Forest as the most conspicuous and
important specimen of the class. This forest
contains about 66,000 acres of land, hut
though the title of forest is given to the whole,
there are no fewer than 45,000 acres on which no
trees are growing, so that the actual timber land is less
than 20,000 acres. Of these, 7,200 have been planted
since 1808, and 1,200 are now thrown open ; that is
to say, as we presume, 1,200 acres of plantations out
or the 7,200 have arrived at such maturity as to re-
quire no further inclosure nor tending. Indeed, of the
whole 7,200 an experienced surveyor reports, that
they " demand no further expenditure, but should
yield a considerable annual income independent of
the accumulating value." When we come to figures,
however, we find that the " income" of the matured
plantations for the three years, ending 1847-8, was
only some 8,0001., while the " expenditure on planta-
tions generally," was upwards :of 17,000/., although
the jnolosures effected during this period extended
only to 850 acres. The cost of planting an acre is
set down at about ten guineas, so that the following
statement has been given, though not yet adopted
by the committee, as representing the balance of the
eccount:—

Expenditure in three years ... £17,256 15 2

It appears by Mr. Clutton's evidence that the 7,200
acres only, in their existing state, should produce an
average rent of 108. per acre, which for three

WORSHIP-STREET.

Charles Baines, a powerful labourer in the docks,
whose feet were encased in a heavy pair of boots
thickly studded with clamp-nails, was charged with
the wilful murder of Mary Anne Baines, otherwise
Moody, a woman who passed as his wife.
Eliza Andrews, a girl eleven years of age, stated,
—The prisoner and his wife occupied the first floor
of my mother's house, No. 5, Minton-street, Bethnal-
green ; and, while alone in the house, about half-past
ten on the night of the 26th of last month, my mother
having gone out, I was called to by the prisoner's wife,
whom, upon going upstairs, I found standing alone
on the landing. She had nothing on but her chemise,
and asked me to fetch her clothes out of her room, as
she was afraid to enter it. I entered the apartmentto do
so, and saw the prisoner stretched upon the bed with
all his clothes on. On returning with his wife's
clothing she began to dress herself, and made some
observation to the prisoner, who immediately jumped
off the bed, and, snatching his wife's clothes from her
in the passage, threw them upon the bed, and again
lay down himself, but had not done so more than a
couple of minutes when he jumped up again, and,
rushing into the passage to his wife, I saw him deal
her a kick in the stomach, with his boots on, as hard
AS ha could. The deceased staggered backwards, but
saved herself from falling by catching hold of the ban-
nisters, upon which the prisoner dealt her another
violent kick on the breast, and returning to his own
room, again threw himself down on the bed. After
she had received these kicks the deceased groaned very
much, and made her way down stairs to my mother's
room, where she placed herself on a chair, burst out
crying, and asked me to help her down upon the floor,
which I did, and went out for a neighbour, who
assisted in lifting her upon my mother's bed, after
which my mother came home and sent for the police.
Dale, a constable of the K division, stated—Upon
being sent for to the house at half-past twelve
o'clock, I found the deceased lying upon the bed,
evidently very dangerously injured, and on being in-
formed by her that the injuries had been inflicted by
the prisoner, who was still upstairs, I desired the
landlady to call him down. On entering the room
where his wife was, he went up to and kissed her,
and s/Aed, if, he should assist her to the hospital, to
'which`the Ideceased replied "No, you are a brute."

FRAN CE.

The trial of Huber, at the High Court of Justice of
Versailles was continued on Friday. After the Pre-
sident had refused to grant llubert's request to have
Blanqui and Raspail called up, the witnesses were
called, and confirmed generally the facts mentioned
in the act of accusation. These the accused admits
generally.

M. Cemansois Deprey gave an account of the in-
vasion, and said he did not see Huber take the Presi-
dent by the collar, as he was accused of having done,
but Huber was much excited.

Huber said his excitement arose from the danger
to the Assembly, and asked the witness whether he
had not said that if the petition was not read the
Assembly would be invaded.

M. Lemansois Deprey replied in the affirmative.
Buchez, then PreAdent of the Assembly, ad-
mitted that Huber had not dragged him from the
President's chair, as was affirmed—he bad been
pushed elf from behind.

Mounier, Stcretary of Police under Caussidiere,
' was cross-examined :by the prisoner at some length,
ina,,rnuch as on him depended the truth or falsehood
of Blanqui's accusation, that Huher was a paid secret
agent, charged to betray the Republican party, no fact
in that tense was elicited from the witness.
To•day M. Boroche and M. Buveguier will be
heard, and a verdict may probably be given in the
evening.
