ATLAS, DECEMBER 2, 1848,

We look upon this book: as a national blessing. Who has not
found the use of it? who has not turned the information it contains
to profitable account? It is now in the jubilee year of its existence,
and, if possible, is more complete in its details than any of its pre-
decessors. Its amplitude and eorrectness are marvellous ; and that
they are duly appreciated we need no better proof than the fact of
the übiquity of its presence. (lo where you will you are sure to
meet it. It is impossible to live a week in London without feeling
the want of such a work.

ITAL Y.

The Treasury of Rome is insolvent ; it is unable to
meet the demands of the holders of Rome Bonds, for
the interest now due. The POPE, however, is not the
only insolvent potentate. The Queen of SPAIN seems
to be in a similar condition, if we may credit the
French journal L' Evenement, which afirms that the
bills of exchange drawn by General CoRDoTA on the
Treasury of Madrid to defray the expenses of the
Spanish army in Italy have been protested for non-
payment, the Madrid Treasury being completely
exhausted.
It will be a curious sight to see, on the return of
the POPE to Rome, that infallible and insolvent
SOVEREIGN guarded by the troops of her Most Catho-
lic and equally insolvent MAJESTY.
The Minister of Public Instruction at Turin has,
like his colleagues, addressed a circular to the func-
tionaries belonging to his department. In this
document the Minister adverts to the improper use
some professors and mesters have occasionally made
of influence they possess over their pupils, by ap-
plying it to the insinuation of political doctrines of a
peculiar cast into their minds, and declares that it is
the intention of the Government not to allow such
abuses in future.

The Piedmontese Gazette, of the 30th ult., pub-
lishes a notification of the Inspector-General ofl
the Post-office at Turin, informing the public that
from the Ist of this month a new arrangement with
the French Post. office will allow of letters being re-
ceived from Paris eighteen hours sooner than usual.
The Riforina of Lucca states from Leghorn, 26th
ult., that the Chamber of Commerce having convoked
a meeting of the merchants and bankers of the city,
for the purpose of considering the Government loan
question, the meeting was adjourned to a future
day, there not being a sufficient number of members
present.

LAMBETH.

John Sinclair and John Anderson, who stood re-
manded from Friday last, were again placed at the
bar before Mr. Elliott, and charged on suspicion with
being concerned, with a third person not yet in cus-
tody, in the commission of at least three highway
robberies, attended with brutal violence. In addition
to the evidence given on Friday last by Mr. Davis, a
gentleman well known on the turf, and Mr. Condon,
a young gentleman residing with his friends at Brix-
ton, which appeared in The Sun of Saturday last,
Mr. Thomas Henry Hall, barrister-at-law, of No.
9, Old-square, Lincoln's Inn, and Tavistock square,
said, on Tuesday night, the 23d of last month, at
about a quarter to ten o'clock, I was passing along
the south side of Lincoln's Inn-fields, and going to-
wards Lincoln's Inn-square, and on approaching the
College of Surgeons, I was seized by some person
from behind, who caught hold of my throat so tightly
that I was quite unable to speak. At the same time
my hands were secured, my head pulled back,
and I received several blows on it and my face with
someinstrument. My head was held back so that I
could not see any person before me ; but I did, some-
how or other, get a glimpse of some person in
woman's clothing, but whether it was a woman
cr a man dressed in woman's clothing, I cannot
say. My waistcoat was immediately torn
open, my gold watch vi as taken out of the pocket,
and my gold watch chain was also taken. One
of the persons then felt the upper part of my
trousers, and feeling my purse in the left-hand pocket,
be tore away one side of my trousers, and carried away
with it my purse, containing a sovereign and about
Bs. in silver. Ido not recollect what took place
immediately after this, for I was not sensible ; nor
was I aware that I fell, or was knocked down ; but I
afterwards found a bruise on my knee, which satisfies

THE ORTIIRRN STATES.

PRUSSIA.

On the :^2sth ult. M. DI BECKERATH made a report
to the Sec and Chamber on the German question,
which corheludes as follows:

" The Member declares that it has learned with sa-
tisfaction the solemn and formal declaration of Prussia,
that she is resolved to carry out without fail the forma-
tion of the Federal State, and to defend its rights against
all foreign intervention, from whatever quarter it may
come. The Chamber hopes that the approaching con-
vocation of the Parliament will satisfy the wishes of the
German nation; and that Prussia will persevere in the
course which will effect the unity of Germany on the
basis of the treaty of the 26th of May, to which the
chamber has already given its full consent. For these
reasons the Chamber, always reserving the rights which
belong to it, and those which concern the treaty of
the 30th September, abstains provisionally from any
conclusive expression of opinion in respect to this con-
vention."

No Vienna mail arrived at Berlin on the Ist in
consequence of the railway having been completely
blocked up by a heavy fall of snow.
The trial of WALDECK continued on the Ist, and
his acquittal is certain. He has already taken mea-
sures for prosecuting some of the witnesses against
him for libel and conspiracy, and for prosecuting the
President of Police for an illegal arrest.
The Ffrst Chamber of Prussia, in the sitting of
the Ist, adopted the Bill as sent up from the Chamber
of the Deputies, for abolishing the exemption from
taxation enjoyed by certain classes. The Bill is to
come into operation on the Ist January.
A letter from Berlin of the Ist states that it was
believed that not only Austria, but the four kingdoms
of Wurtemburg, Saxony, Hanover, and Bavaria
are about to present a collective note against the
convocation of the restricted Federal German Par-
liament.

It was generally believed that the ad interim Cen-
tral Commission formed by Prussia and Austria to
supersede the Central government of Germany
would commence operations on the Ist ; but on that
day none of the members who form it had arrived in
the city.

THE ECLECTIC REVIEW.

With the present number of the Eclectic Review
Dr. Price resigns his editorship of that journal. In
his farewell address he states that he has held that
office for thirteen years, and that he had hoped to re-
tain it till the end of his life, but his ill-health has
disappointed this hope. The new editor, in his ad-
dress, promises to follow in the steps of his pre-
decessor, and at the same time to introduce
a few beneficial alterations in the arrangement of the
Review. Of these we shall in all likelihood have
future occasion to speak. To the retiring edit6r we
gladly tender our cordial felicitations on the admirable
manner in which he has fulfilled his trust. The
Eclectic Review, under his direction, has maintained a
high place among our monthly periodicals—a place
eminently due not only to the ability so frequently
displayed by its contributors, but to the manly in-
dependence and genuine liberality of tone which have
continually characterised its contents. We heartily
desire for the new editor the same discrimination, the
same unflinching independence, and the same success
which have been the portion of his predecessor.

'WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5,

me that I must have fallen. - I do not recollect how
I got to Lincoln's Inn, or whether I had been led
there, as I was very much hurt indeed. 1 saw no
person's face, and cannot therefore take upon myself
to recognise anybody. In additien to the property I
have before stated, 1 also lost a silk umbrella, atd the
instrument with which I was struck, I wish to add,
left a mark of six little points, with one in the centre,
an exact impression of w hich I havo kept.
Thoinai Barry, deputy landlord of the house IG,
Short's-gardens, Drury-lane, said he knew both the
prisoners, from their coming to his house to lodge on
the 15th of last month, and their remaining there up
to the time of their apprehension. On the morning of
Tuesday, the 23d of November, the prisoners had no
money, but said they were going to Greenwich to get
some. On the same night they returned rather tipsy,
when Sinclair exhibited 11. 12s. 10d., and the other pri-
soner 165., but neither said where they got it. He
(witness) knew that the prisoners had no money on
the evening of the 20th of November, as they had
borrowed a sixpence from him. The prisoners never
went out to look for work, and Sinclair told him that
he was a pensioner, and was in the receipt of Is. 11d.
a day. Heard the prisoners say to a third man, who
came with them, that they hoped they had satisfied
him, and that he was a very good fellow. On the
first Saturday after the prisoners came to his home
they stopped out all night, and on the 20th they told
him they had been to Astley's Theatre, and had not
returned that night until half-past 11 o'clock.
John Wilson deposed that he lodged in the same
house with the prisoners, and was there when they
came. When there a few days Sinclair told hirr, as
a secret, that he had been transported ; and, believing
that the communication had been made in confidence,
he did not mention it to either of the other lodgers.
On the morning of Saturday week he (witness) heard
Sinclair speak to Barry about some money he had the
night before.
Police constable Hardwick, 7 D, said he had made
every inquiry about the prisoners, and found that a
man answering in every particular the description of
Anderson, had escaped from the Warrior convict-
ship, off Woolwich ; and he had no doubt, on a future
day, of producing evidence of the fact.
Air. ELLIOTT remanded the prisoners for another
week.

relative to the Hungarian refugees may be considered
as settled; but that there now remain for adjustment
the questions arising out of the demand made on
Turkey by Russia for the expulsion of all the Poles
inhabiting the Turkish territories, and who have
mostly French passports ; and next, the point whether
England has violated or not certain treaties by carry-
ing her fleet through the Dardanelles.
Oa the 17th the English fleet was still in the
Dardanelles, and the officers paid daily visits to

PRUSSIA.

On the* `2sth ult. M. DE B CCKERATIT made a report
to the Second Chamber on the German question,
mch concludes as follows
a The Chamber declares that it has learned with sa-
tisfaction the solemn and formal declaration of Prussis,
that she is resolved to carry out without fail the forma-
ticn of the Feekral State, and to defend its rights sgainst
all foreign intervention, from whatever quarter it may
come. The Chamber hopes that the approaching con-
vocation of the Parliament will satisfy tho wishes of the
German nation; and that Prussia will persevere in the
course which will erfeut ;he unity of Germany on the
basis of the treaty of the 26th of May, to which the
chamber has already given its full consent. For these
reasons the Chamber, always reserving the rights which
belong to it, and those which concern the treaty of
the 30th September, abstains provi3ionslly from any
conclusive expression of opinion in respect to this con-
vention." .

No Vienna mail arrived at Berlin on the Ist in
consequence of the railway having been completely
blocked up by a heavy. fall of snow.
The trial of WALDECK continued on the Ist, and
his acquittal is certain. He has already taken mea-
sures for prosecuting some of the witnesses against
him for libel and conspiracy, and for prosecuting the
President of Police for an illegal arrest.
The First Chamber of Prussia, in the sitting of
the Ist, adopted the Bill as sent up from the Chamber
of the Deputies, for abolishing the exemption from
taxation enjoyed by certain classes. The Bill is to
come into operation on the Ist January.
A letter from Berlin of the Ist states that it was
believed that not only Austria, but the four kingdoms
of Wurtemburg, Saxony, Hanover, and Bavaria
are about to present a collective note against the
convocation of the restricted Federal German Par-
liament.

It was generally believed that the ad interim Cen-
tral Commission formed by Prussia and Austria to
supersede the Central Qovernraent of Germany
would commence operations on the Ist ; but on that
day none of the members who form it had arrived in
the city.

The Augsburg Gazette of the 30th, under the

relative to the Hungarian refugees may be considered
as settled; but that there now remain for adjustment
the questions arising out of the demand made -on
Turkey by Russia for the expulsion of all the Poles
inhabiting the Turkish territories, and who have
mostly French passports ; and next, the point whether
England has violated or not certain treaties by carry-
ing her fleet through the Dardanelles.
Oa the 17th the English fleet was still in the
Dardanelles, and the officers paid daily visits to
Stamboul.

AINSIVORTH S.

" Guy Fawkes " has now reschtd its most inte-
resting point. One of Cruikshank's illustrations gives
a fearful glimpse of " Guy Fawkes and the other con-
spirators alarmed whilst digging the mine." Among
the best contributions to this number is a brief sketch
by Rowsell " the Schoolmaster." The " Proposed
Exhibition of 1851 " is considered, and a number of
amusing fictions fill up the remainder of the magazine.

TILE FARMERS'.
Two beautifully engraved portraits of " a cart
horse," the property of Mr. John Coulson, and " a

Todd, which severally obtained prizes at the Norwich
agricultural show, form the pictorial contents of the

addition to the customary variety of agricultural in-
telligence, we are glad to find in the Farmers' Ma-
gazine, a reprint of the admirable letters on " Labour
and the Poor," which have appeared in the Morning
Chronicle, and also a beautiful poem from Eliza
Cook's Journal, " The Holy Well."

PR USSIA.

letter from Berlin of the 29th ult. states that
Prussian Cabinet had received from the Russian
~vernratnt a note, dated the 19th, expressing in
eery polite terms scruples as to the manner in which
the Prussian Cabinet is endeavouring to settle the
affairs of Germany. This note, says the letter, is
supposed to be due to the influence of Austria at St.
Pe tersburgh.
• The Committee of the Second Chamber of Prussia,
to whom the papers on the German question were
referred, proposes to the Chamber to declare that it
has heard with pleasure the solemn declaration of
Prussia that it is resolved to establish the restricted
Federal State, and to defend its rights against any
foreign intervention.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
The supply of English Wheat on sale to-day was
small, and of very middling quality. As, however, the
attendance of buyers was limited, the demand for all
descriptions ruled heavy, at almost nominal quotations.
Nearly 9,000 quarters of Wheat have arrived since
Saturday evening. As the quantity here this morning
exceeded the wants of the millers, the trade was exces.
sively heavy, at barely Monday's decline. We were well
supplied with both English and foreign Barley, all kinds
of which were very dull, at barely stationary prices.
Malt was in full average supply, and heavy demand, at
unaltered currencies. The quantity of Oats was on the
increase, especially from Ireland. The trade ruled dull,
at barely late rates. In Beans, Peas, Indian Corn and
Flour, scarcely any business was doing.

Elsewhere in this evening's impression will be
found a document worthy of particularZconsideration,
a memorial addressed to the leaders of the present
Government by nearly eighty Members of both
Houses of Parliament, beseeching the attention of the
Cabinet, even at this, the eleventh hour, to the project
of an interposition between the Empire of Austria and
the Hungarians. Although the document is re-
stricted to two very simple recommendations, namely,
the necessity of preventing if possible the repe-
tition of the recent cruelties perpetrated by
the Government upon the Magyars, and of
advising the Viennese Administration to emulate
the judicious beneficence of the French Republic in
abolishing tha system of capital punishments for
political offences, it is impossible not to recognize
through the brevity and simplicity of the memorial,
yet larger and nobler aspirations. Die liberal
representatives of the British multitude, and the
liberal Members of the Chamber of hereditary
legislators, have in view, without question, some
more considerable result than the accomplishment
of matters even as desirable as those enumerated.
llow far our sympathies go with them in such
hopes as are here implied may be readily
conjectured by every one acquainted with our feelings
towards the cause of the Hungarians.
Several of the more obdurate advocates on the side
of absolutism will, of course, endeavour to
deride the humane interference of those who
have appended their signatures to this
interesting document—by hinting the possibility that
the effort must prove altogether futile, seeing that it is
riade too late and after too prolonged a period of
procrastination. Unquestionably, the time has in-
deed long since passed by when the remon-
strance of the British Government could in
evitably have affected the fortunes of the war

AUSTRIA.

The National Gazette of Vienna, of the 27th ult.,
states that Messrs. Kubeck and Sehcenhals, who had
been appointed commissioners in the ad interim
Federal Commission at Frankfort, had received orders
to postpone their departure for Frankfort, owing, as
was supposed, to an exchange of communications be-
tween Austria and Prussia on the German question.
Tne Cologne Gazette states from Vienna that the
Government consents to accord a small indemnity for
the notes of Kossuth which have been given up, but
not for the others.
The Fygelmerzo of Pesth states that Prince de
Metternich has written a letter to an Austrian
statesman, in which he declares that the Austrian
monarchy cannot enjoy lasting peace unless Hungary
be maintained in its preceding relations as a separate
state with Austria. _ _

Thirteen new condemnations to death have re-

General Haynau has commuted them to hard labour
for periods of twenty, eighteen, and ten years in a
