PRUSSIA.

In addition to the reply of the King of Prussia to the
Diet on certain political questions, his Majesty has
issued the following relative to the question of loans:—
" We, Frederick William, by the grace of God, King
of Prussia, to our faithful States united for the first time
in general assembly, greeting. We have learned by our
Commissioner in the Diet the doubt which arose during
the discussion of the different projects which have been
presented to the States on the letters patent of the 3d of
February last, and on the interpretation of paragraphs
4 and 6 of the standing orders of the States. To re-
move these doubts, we, after communicating with our
Commissioner in the Diet, give to our faithful States the
following explanations:-1. It never entered our mind
not to comprise in the loans foreseen by paragraph four
of the standing orders of the States loans which can
only be ordered with the concurrence and co-guarantee
of the States-General, and for which the public fortune
and the domains of the State are given in guarantee, as
is textually prescribed by Art. 3 of thelaw,ofJanuary 17,
1820 ; it never entered our mind not to comprise in these
loans the loans for which the guarantee of a part of the
public fortune and of the revenues of_. the State shall

necessary. Moro than that, our will it,
that in time of peace the acceptation of public loans, and
the drawing up of the financial documents relative to
such loans, cannot take place, any more than the aug-
mentation of the treasury bonds in emission, without
the approbation of the Assembly of the States. This
power of the Diet can, however, only be applied to what
concerns the current debts of he Administration, since

_hey are essentially temporary, being only contracted by
anticipation on the revenues of the State, which must
cover them, and do not constitute any new charge for
the country. For these debts of the Administration the
concurrence of the States will not be necessary for
the future, any more than it has been in the past. 2d,
In the cases foreseen by Art. 6 of the standing order of
the Diet, in which political events shall not permit the
convocation of the General Assembly of the States for
the ratification of loans, and in which that mission is
placed on the deputation of the States charged with the
public debt, it is perfectly understood that our intention
has never been to add the right of approving the loans
of the state to the rights of the deputation. Neverthe-
less. to remove all kinds of doubt as to our intentions in
this respect, we hesitate not to declare formally to our
faithful States that the deputation of the States for the
public debt is not destined to replace them in their legal
attributions, and that it will consequently not have to
consent to any modification in the loans of the state."
A letter from Berlin of th 25th says

" The replies of the King have thrown the greater
part of the members of the Diet into a state of great un-
certainty. In the evening of yesterday 150 members,
some of whom belonged to the Order of the Nobles, and
the greater number of the province of the Rhine, met at
a public hotel to deliberate on the conduct that should
be observed. Several deputies had considered the mat-
ter so grave as not to accept the royal invitation to the
New Palace at Potsdam. At midnight several Rhenish
deputies, and among them M. de Bekkerath, joined
their colleagues. The assembly continued in delibera-
tion two hours. Several deputies insisted, that to
nominate committees to act when the Diet is not sitting
would give the right to the King to unite the Diet
only when he should think fit, and would be an aban
donment of the right of an annual meeting, accorded
by the late King. Other deputies recommended that
the committees should be nominated from among the
deputies most determined to maintain the rights of
the Diet, hut in again protesting to the same effects
as in the protests already made. There is to be a
meeting of the three orders this evening to terminate
the discussion of the Bill relative to the Jews, and to-
morrow the general assembling for closing the Diet will
be held. The King has notified that he cannot be pre-
sent at it, and that he will be replaced by the Royal Com-
missioner."

We learn by a letter from Berlin, of the 26th, that the
Diet was closed on that day. The King's Commissioner
ascended the tribune and read the Royal rescript, which
was in the following terms :
" We, Frederick William, by the grace of God, King
of Prussia, &c., to our faithful States, assembled in the
first ~)iet of the United States, send our mkwi t
serfte**
includinst the election of the Conimittets and thXdepu-
tation of the States OR the public debt, woo d be con-
cluded by the 25th of this month, we have fixed the 26th
for the closing of the first United Diet; and, as we shall
not on that day be at our residence in Berlin, we have
charged our Commissioner of the Diet to close the
session of the States. Given at Berlin, this 24th June,
1847."
The Royal Commissioner then, being surrounded by
all the Ministers, read the following address :
" Most Serene Highnesses, Serene Princes, Illustrious
Counts, Noble Lords ! Most Honourable Deputies of
the Nobles, the Cities, and Rural Communes I—The
hour is come when, according to the orders of his
Majesty the King, our most gracious lord, the first
session of the United Diet is to be closed. This hour
is dimmed by the fact of a small number of the mem-
bers of the Assembly having refused their assent to
the last act of its labours, and having seceded from
a duty the fulfilment of which is essentially con-
nected with the exercise of representative rights. The
Government will know how to maintain the respect due
to the laws. If we look back upon the eleven weeks
which have been employed in the representative duties
of this high assembly, sentiments of different natures will
arise in our minds. Who cannot feel this, but who can
find words to express his -feelings? There is, however,
one sentiment which must be common to all—the con-
viction that the results of the General Diet have afforded
to the country less good fruit than they might have pro-
duced. But we confide in the omnipotence of Divine
Providence, whose protection has never been withdrawn
from our beloved country in critical times, and we hope
that the good and noble seed which has just been sown
has fallen upon a fertile soil, and will spring up and in-
crease to a tree covered with generous fruits, and under
the shadow of which no ill weeds may grow. But a
feeling of pride and joy certainly reigns in the hearts
of all—viz., the conviction that all the States here
assembled, that all the provinces are united most
intimately by their warm love for their country, for
the noble King whom Providence has allotted to us,
and for his august house. This sentiment has been
joyfully and loudly proclaimed by all. However di-
vergent may be the paths which have sometimes been
pointed out, sometimes followed, we feel confident that
all those who, animated with this feeling, have pursued
them, will arrive at the same termination, the consolida
tion of the honour, the independence, the material and
moral welfare of the country—the glory of Prussia
under an inviolable crown, placed on the heads of its
kings of the noble house of Hohenzollern, and sustained
and fortified by the States. Expressing this hope, and
trusting that it will accompany you to your homes, and
induce you to continue your labours with all your efforts
towards this noble object., I declare, by order of the King,
that the first United Diet is closed."
A letter from Berlin, of the 26th, in the Gazette des
Tribunaux, says—" The King is opposed to allowing
the proceedings of the trial relative to the Polish dis-
turbances to be made public. His Majesty convoked a
Cabinet Council, and declared his views. There arose
on this subject a long, and, it is said, stormy discussion.
The result was not known, but it is positively stated that
the proceedings which were to commence on July 1 have
been postponed to August 1. The tribunal of Premiere
Instance of Berlin has terminated the affair of the dis-
turbances which took place in that city towards the end
of April in consequence of the dearness of provisions.
There were 107 prisoners, 90 men and 17 women. The
Court acquitted 8, ignored the bills sent in against 13,
and condemned 86 to imprisonment of various lengths.
For all those condemned, women inclusive, the punish-
ment of whipping was added."

ACCIDENT AT THE BLACLWALL RAILWAY TER•
MlNlM—Thursday, about noon, a fatal accident occurred
at the goods depot of the Blsckwall Railway terminus,
Crutched Friars. It appears that a man named Peter
Summerfield, whilst engaged in lifting the cradle, a piece
of machinery used for raising heavy weights, dropped a
shilling, which fell below the spot where the cradle de-
scends. The unfortunate man went below, leaving
another party to do his work, and whilst searching for
his shilling the cradle was lowered, and before he had
time to get out of the way, he was crushed with such
violence as to break his legs and back, and otherwise
dreadfully injure him. Three medical men were sent
for, but by the time they arrived life was quite extent.
The deceased has left a wife and three children totally
unprovided for.
CAUTION TO FAMILIES HAVING RELATIONS
ABROAD.—A man, apparently 60 years of age, has for
the last few days been defrauding several respectable
families in the neighbourhood of Poplar, by calling with
packages neatly made up, and directed, and represent-
ing ing them to come from their relatives abroad, therecy
obtaining 4s. and ss. from each place for carartivarge,with
The person in question is of the midfdlet

and are evidently the productions of a person well versed
in penmanship. How he has managed to
s discover tho
parties from whom the parcels.arestated to come is a
mystery to those he has already imposed upon, and it is
hoped this description of his person will speedily put an
end to the system he has adopted to raise the wind. The
various packages contain nothing but rubbish, such as
saw-dust, cinders, &c.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—Between one and two on
Thursday, as a poor man, employed from motives
of charity by Mr. Hayes, dairyman, Horseferry-road,
Westminster, was riding on the shaft of one of his
master's wash•carts, in the Victoria-road, he fell off, and
one of the wheels passed over his head. He died almost
immediately.

Ist Charge. That the said John Wilmot Young,
acting master of the Lily, and serving on board her at
the island of Ascension on the 21st April, 1847, was on
the evening of that day in a state of drunkenness.
• 2d Charge. That Le, the said John Wilmot Young, did
on the 21st of April b,have towards his commander, the
said Charles J. F. Newton, with great disrespect.
3d Charge. That he, the said John Wilmot Young,
being in charge of the watch on board the Lily at sea on
the Ist of June, 1847, did sleep on his watch.
The court was most numerously attended, there being
no less than nine members—viz., Rear-Admiral Super-intendent Hyde Parker, C. 8., president ; Rear-Admiral
Sir Charles Napier, K.C.B. ; Captain Pasco, of the
Victory ; Captain Sir James Stirling, of the Howe, 120 ;
Captain H. D. Chads, C. 8., of the Excellent ; Captain
Lushington, of the Vengeance ; Captain Miller, of the
Vincent ; Captain Hon. J. Pelham, of the Odin,
steam-frigate ; and Captain Dacres, of the Avenger,
steam-frigate.
Mr. Greatham, Judge Advocate, and Mr. Hoskins,
solicitor, assisted the prisoner.
Commander Newton, the prosecutor, was first sworn,
and gave evidence, of which we give a brief extract. It
appeared that the Lily arrived at Ascension on the
evening of the 21st of' April last, and Commander New-
ton was collecting the quarterly returns of the Lily, to
take to the senior officer, at the island, and at half-past
nine at night sent for Mr. Young, the master, to get the
quarterly track chart, which should have been made up
to the 31st of March, and although Mr. Young had pre-
viously informed Commander Newton that the chart
was finished, it was found not to be so, and the com-
mander told Mr. Yonng he would report the circum-
stance to the senior officer in command, to which Mr.
Young replied he might do so, and take his (Mr.
Young's) commission with him, Mr. Young leaving the
cabin at the same time and slamming the door. The
commander went on deck with the first lieutenant, Mr.
Williams, and some further altercation taking place,
Commander Newton sent Mr. Young below under arrest.
The commander's evidence went to prove that on this
occasion Mr. Young was both drunk and disrespectful.
On the third charge, the Commander gave evidence of
his having come up on deck at half-past eleven, on the
first watch, on the Ist of June last, the Lily being at
sea, on her way home, under all plain sail to royals; and
with the foretopmast studdingsail set, the vessel going at
the rate of nine knots through the water, when he found
Mr. Young (then officer of the watch) fast asleep on the
after grating, rolled up in a blanket.
Mr. George B. Williams, the senior lieutenant, corro-
borated, in every particular, Commander Newton's
evidence, both as to Mr. Young's being drunk and dis-
respectful on the 21st of April, and also to Mr Young's
being found asleep in his watch on the Ist of June.
Mr. Telliss, the clerk of the ship, was present on the
21st of April, when the occurrence took place. To the
best of his judgment, Mr. Young was sober at the time,
and that he was disrespectful to Commander Hawkins,
but not highly so.
Mr. Devonshire, gunner of the Lily, proved that Mr.
Young was disrespectful to his commander, but said he
was sober at the time. He also proved to having roused
up Mr. Young when asleep on the after grating in his
first watch, on the Ist of June.

With this closed the evidence for the prosecution, and
Mr. Young, having asked an hour to prepare his de-
fence, at the expiration of that time the Court was re-
opened, and
Mr. Hoskins read a short defence, stating that the
harsh treatment Mr. Young had received at the hands
of his commander had occasioned his replies, which
were called disrespectful. He admitted sleeping on
his watch, but pleaded excessive fatigue and illness,
from arduous duties, that occasioned it. He called
several witnesses as to character, who spoke in his
favour ; among them Captain Brisbane, of the Larne,
and Commander Morrell, late Governor of Ascension ;
he also read the certificates he had received from offi-
cers under whom he had served jhe also called seve-
ral persons, amongst whom werfM•ieutenotrt —Branch,

COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUTENANT BRANCH.
At three P.M., the same members assembled to try
the second lieutenant of the Lily, Mr. John S. Branch,
on charges preferred against him by Commander
Newton.

First charge—For highly disrespectful and insubordi-
nate conduct, while serving on board the Lily, between
October, 1845, and May, 1846, on several occasions.
Second charge—For highly disrespectful conduct to
his commander on the 1 7 th of June, 1846.
The Court had examined Captain Brisbane, and the
first lieutenant of the Lily, on the first of these charges,
when our report was sent off.
WOOLWICH, JULY I.—The Rifleman, wooden steam-
vessel, and Sharpshooter, iron steam-vessel, both fitted
with screw propellers, left Woolwich this morning for
Portsmouth, to be fitted at that port for service on the
coast of Africa.
The Dragon steam-frigate, Captain Hall, is now ready
for sea, and will proceed to Portsmouth to farm one of
the vessels of the experimental squadron, which is to
assemble at Spithead about the 10th of the present
month, under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir Charles
Napier. It is highly to the credit of the officers of the
Dragon to be able to state that not one of her numerous
crew has been lost or absent without leave since she was
commissioned.
The Vixen steam-sloop, Commander Ryder, is pre-
paring for sea with the greatest dispatch, and is to be
attached to the experimental squadron. Each ship of
war is to have a steam-vessel as a tender during the ex-
periments.
LIFE PRESERVERS.—Numerous inventors have re-
cently submitted their views of what they consider the
simplest and most efficient modes of saving lives, in
cases of shipwreck. Amongst others, Lieutenant Irvine,
R.N., attended yesterday afternoon at Woolwich Dock-
yard. and submitted to Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer,
K.C.B. and K.C.H. ; Captain Sir John Ross, C.B. ;
Lieut. -Colonel Dundas, C. 8., Director of the Foundry
Department at the Royal Arsenal; Lieutenant Colonel
Cator, of the Royal Artillery ; Lieutenant Fowler, and
several officers of the Royal Marines, his travelling
trunks and leather bags, made on his principle, and
lined with cork and Mackintosh cloth in such a manner
as to preserve their contents dry, and at the same time
become an important auxiliary in saving lives when ship-
wrecks take place. A trunk 27 inches long by 15 inches
broad and 15 inches deep, had its loose mackintosh lining
tied so as to exclude water, and on being thrown into the
basin, was found to sustain 751bs. weight of solid iron,
sufficient to sustain the weight of sixteen men immersed
in water, and to be capable of conveying them through
any surf to the shore. The leather bag was also tied
in the same way inside, and possessed a buoyancy which
would be of great advantage to travellers by water in
case of accidents. The articles are the same in appear-
ance as those necessary appendages to every traveller,
and the fitting of common trunks and bags on Lieu.
tenant Irvine's plan would enable all who undertake
voyages by rivers or by sea to travel with little risk of
danger from accidents by water.
TREASURE FOUND IN THE ROYAL ARSENAL The
workmen in the storekeeper's department of the Royal
Arsenal, while engaged in moving some boxes which
have remained in the stores since they were sent home
after the battle of Waterloo, found one of them
weightier than they could account for in a box of its
size. On opening it there appeared four smaller boxes:
and on their lids being removed they were found tocoonnt
tain a number of doubloons of gold, equivalent in amount
to 8001. in each box, making in all 3,2001.

an abundant, supply of water was furnished by the mains
of the Lambeth Company, which was scattered over the

to travel with rapidity, and it was not until half past

SIR HARRY SMITH'S PROGRESS.
On Wednesday the hero of Aliwal, Sir H. Smith, and
his lady, partook of a public breakfast at Ely, on his
way to Whittlesea. A beautiful arch, covered with a
profusion of flowers and laurels, was erected near the
station, where about 8,000 or 10,000 persons had as•
sembled, and the gallant gentleman's appearance was
greeted with tremendous cheers. The procession moved
from the station through the principal streets of the
town to the new Corn Exchange, in which a splendid
dejetiner a la fourchette was supplied by Younghusband
and Son, of Gerard's Hall Hotel, Basing-lane, London,
The building itself was beautifully festooned with ever-
greens and flowers ; the tables, which extended round
the area, were covered with choice plants. On the table
at which the Gallant General sat was a service of gold
plate, valued at 16,0001. The breakfast provided con-
sisted of every delicacy the season could produce, the
fruit being the admiration of all present. The appear-
ance of the whole called forth an expression of thanks
from Sir Harry Smith.
From the station to the breakfast-room Sir Harry was
accompanied by the Dean of Ety, Professor Sedgwick,
the Rev. E. B. Sparke, son of the late B. shop Sparke,
and William Layton, Esq., the eminent agriculturist.
The Dean of Ely presided at the breakfast, at which
there were between 200 and 300 present, consisting of
the elite of the town and neighbourhood.
WHITTLESEA.—On arriving at this town the illus-
trious guests were received by a concourse of 4,000 to
5,000 people, and by them escorted to the house of his
brother, Captain Smith. The bells rang merrily, atsd
the greatest hilarity pervaded the town. Mr. Booker
read a complimentary address to the gallant hero, and
received a short but suitable reply, Sir Harry Smith
sa)ing that on the morrow he should have an oppor-
tunity of expressing at greater length his feelings of
appreciation of the kindness of his fellow-townsmen.
THURSDAY, JULY 1.
THE DINNER
was holden in a pavilion, erected for the purpose, in a
close next the rectory. At a quarter before five the
chair was taken by the Rev. Algernon Peyton, rector of
Duddington, who was supported on the right by the
hero of many fights, Sir Barry Smith, Earl Fitzwilliam,
Earl of Aboyne, Lord Milton, J. W. Childers, Esq.,
Professor Seogwick, Colonel Allix, J. D. Gordon.
Esq., and the Dean of Ely ; and on the left by the High
Sheriff (W. Pate, Esq.), the Earl of liardwicke Lord
C. Russell, M.P., K. G. Townley, Esq., Admiral
Morris, &c.

In the centre was placed a very handsome epergne, a
testim..nial to Sir Harry Smith, purchased by subscrip-
tion. It bore the following inscriptlon:—" Presented to
Major-General Sir H. C. W. Smith, Bart., of Aliwal on.
the Sutlej, G.C.8., Colonel of the Rifle Brigade, by
parties resident, or interested in the Isle of Ely, in testi-
mony of their esteem for the eminent services rendered
by him as an officer in the British army during a period
of 42 years, and more particularly for the distinguished
ability shown by him in gaining a decisive victory over
the Seikhs in India, when in command of the British
forces at the battle of Aliwal, on the 28th of January,
1846. Presented the Ist of July, 1847."
Sir Harry was dressed in a general's uniform, wear-
ing the order of the Bath, and several medals. At the
conclusion of the dinner, Lady Smith and a party of
ladies entered the booth; and her Ladyship was re-
ceived with loud cheers, the company standing. Nearly
three hundred gentlemen sat down to dinner, which, ex .
cept a plentiful supply of soup, fish, and vegetables, was
served cold.

Grace having been said,
The Rev. CHAIRMAN proposed, in succession, the
Queen, Price Albert, the Queen Dowager, and health,
wealth, and prosperity to all the Royal Family; the
Duke of Wellington and the Army, acknowledged by
Lord C. J. Russell; the Navy, acknowledged by Ad-
miral Morris.
The CHAIRMAN next, in eloquent terms, proposed the

health of Sir Harry Smith. Among all the recentn,
liveapleasurev
tell them so, he (the Chairman) should not doubt his
integrity. He must naturally feel proud of his return
to his home, and native soil, from whence he bad set out
on his travels, amid the approbation of his countrymen,
and in receipt of their grateful thanks. He would, if the
ladies would allow him to alter a passage of Shakspere
devoted exclusively to them, say with Othello—" We., as
countrymen and compatriots, do love our General, and
he loves us." He had no doubt the Gallant General
felt grateful for the trophies and attachment they had
that day displayed in his honour. So long as any
Englishman's heart beat convulsively, nothing could be
more endearing to him than the return to his home after
a prolonged absence. As Sterne remarks in his beau-
tiful story of the sword—" It seemed as the return to
an old friend's face, which once was given up." But his
(the chairman's) pilgrim's shrine was won, his task was
ended, and the company before the evening was over
would doubtless be quite tired of him. (No, no.)
They were anxious also to hear the Gallant General
himself. The Chairman then (turning to Sir Harry,
Smith) said, "I understand, Sir, that you are again
about to seek foreign shores, and whether or not you
meet with opportunities of performing similar achieve-
Vents to that which we are now met to celebrate, I, in
e name of this meeting, venture to trust that your
' ablenee will not be long, and that you will soon return
to your native shores, and escs ‘2,....A:,- , - -...,0 ut tne

abroad you will live in health o feel that it was given
in gratitude.. your compatriots and those who know so
' well how to appreciate your services, your public efforts
in the cause of your country, and your private friend-
ship—l drink your health."—(Loud, long, and most
vociferous cheering.)
On its somewhat subsiding,
Sir HARRY SMITH rose and spoke as follows:—
"Lives there a man with soul so dead,
Who never to himself has said
This is my own, my native land."—(Cheers.)
Rev. Sir, my lords and gentlemen, and fellow-towsmen
—fain would I thank you for the honour you have this
day done me by thus assembling, and by the sumptuous
banquet you have set before me ; but when the heart is
full the tongue refuses to obey.—(Cheers.) It is true,
as your president has said, that it is 42 years since I left
my native land. On that occasion I parted with an
affectionate mother—(Cheers)—and, gentlemen, by a
curious coincidence, this day is the commemoration of
her birth day.—(Cheers.) ller last words to me were,
" Remember, I pray you, never to enter a public billiard-
room to play, and if ever you should be engaged with
the enemies of your country, remember you are an
Englishman."—(Loud cheers.) Thirty-two years ago, at
the battle of Waterloo, there were three brothers, and it
has pleased Providence to protect them all, although
they were in the heat of the battle. We three, gentle.
men, are the only instances on record in this country,
and we three are here to-day to feel and thank you for
the honour done to myself and family.—(Loud cheers.)
How I fulfilled the first pledge I gave my mother I well
know—l have never played in a public billiard-
room, and what is more, I never was drunk in my
life.—(Loud cheers.) How I have obeyed her se-
cond injunction, my Sovereign, the Duke of Wel-
lington' and you, my fellow-countrymen, have been
pleased to bear testimony, and it becomes me to ac-
knowledge the reception I have received. If lam about
to remind you of my, services, I believe that they arose
from my being placed in positions that would have been
equally well filled by others.—(No, no.) Believe me,
fellow-countrymen, it is to my fellow-soldiers I am in-
debted for the honours I have received. I never appealed
to my brother soldiers that they did not respond to my
call.—(Cheers.) I hope war is far, far distant, for although
a glorious it is a horrid profession. Since the wonderful
battle of Waterloo, which established a peace for this
nation which has lasted 32 years, and on my return to
this country, I have observed her marked improvement
in the arts and sciences, the improvement in the morality
and deportment of the lower classes, and the observance
of the Sabbath, which latter, I regret to say, was not
thought of when I lett it. To this I attribute all the
good success of our civil exertions. I accept with gra-
titude the service of plate you offer me. I trust that
feeling will be perpetuated in the memory of my family,
and that they will never disgrace that relic of my sword.

pounded by Government in the Health of Towns
Bill, now passing triumphantly through the Lower
House of Parliament.
So extraordinary is the majority awarded to Lord
MORPETH'S measure by the popular representatives,
so unanimous are the Commons in hastening the pro-
gress of this benevolent Bill through the Legislature,
that we are immeasurably more than sanguine as to
the immediate and practical cemmencement of the
most necessary of all innovations—the innovation
upon an uncleanliness that genekates disease,
and an economy of space and comfort which
generate both disease and immorality. Before
the present Parliament is dissolved the labour
of love and charity will be begun. Before the new
Parliament has assembled at Westminster, the
tendrils of health and virtue will have already begun
to vegetate, tending at once to the elevation and adorn-
ment of the people. This is the true EscuLaßtus :
here may the worship of HYGEIA be revived without
any of the degrading consequences that flowed from
an idolatrous mythology. Here throughout the land,
in the city as in the homestead, in the hamlet as well
as in the parochial " close," in the village green as
well as in the pestilential rookery, the
footsteps of UNDINE will be traceable—
strewing the ground as it were with moral
flowers, and fertility, and fragrance. Utopia
will in some sort be realised—Atalantis will no longer
be a fantastic vision—Arcadia will be reduced from
the romantic to the natural--when the fruuzy rabble
of yore is contrasted with the cleanly population of
the nineteenth century a population rendered
cleanly by statute, and restored from debility to
health according to the forms of law. Society will
be based upon a nobler foundation than the golden
sands of Cathay, when the rod of the sanatory
commissioner, like the wand of the Prophet, has
made the waters spout from the granite, and afforded
a perpetual moisture where there was formerly
a continual drought. Better than the jewelled
pavements of El Dorado will be the systematic
hollowing of our streets with drains, and the free
admission of light and air to the hitherto darkened
and pestiferous tenements of our populous towns and
cities.
When the opposition which is evinced by a ludi-
crously small minority to the admirable Health of
Towns Bill, introduced by one of the leading mem-
bers of the Administration, is considered, it only
enhances our conviction of the universal joy with I
which the measure is regarded by the really sensible
members of the community. It is insisted by its
antagonists that this Bill will interfere unconstitu-
tionally with the rights, the prerogatives, and the
authority of bodies corporate. We acknow-
ledge that it does abstract the rights and
prerogatives of certain local authorities ; but
it only abstracts them when centuries of mis-
management have shown the incompetence of those
authorities to fulfil the duties upon the implied con-
dition of fulfilling which they were originally in-
vested with those rights and prerogatives. Those
corporate bodies have exhibited their incapability of
ensuring to the persons subject to their local legisla-
tion the very necessaries of existence, such as pure
air and wholesome water, and of guarding them
against the demoralising accessories of a filthy and
promiscuous habitation. Seeing that disease and
demoralisation are the only conspicuous results of
these independent authorities, the State is resolved, if
possible, to effect a comprehensive reformation by
organizing an appropriate body with a central com-
mission. To speak plainly, the Government is de-
termined to effect a reduction in the periodical Bills
of Mortality by the introduction of a permanent Bill
of Sanatory Improvement.

pating in the relief intended only for the destitute,
have proved themselves wholly unworthy of the
trust reposed in them, and should forthwith
be removed from the several committees. The same
may be said of those who encouraged intimidation, or
who did not resist it when assailed with sufficient
energy and courage. Wherever the party incul-
pated has been entrusted with the commission
of the peace it is still more necessary to remove
him from the position for which he is so unfitted.
For these reasons, therefore, and not because
it is required for the vindication of the Irish
character, we conceive that the investigation should
take place. Let the guilty parties receive their
well-deserved exposure and punishment. We ex-
tend to our Irish brethren generally the same
justice that we demand for ourselves, viz., that we
believe them individually innocent until their guilt
shall be satisfactorily established; and, therefore,
there can be no necessity for their acquittal of that
which is not laid to their charge.

A letter from Tunis, of the 14th., says—

"For several days the money market of Tunis has
been in comn otion, from a retort that it was the inten-
tion of the Bey to issue paper money. Twenty contra-
dictory versions were in circulation, but the following
appear to be the facts of the case. At the approach of
the oil crop, which holds out every prospect of being a
fine one, and which will _give rise to important commer-
cial transactions in the regency, the Government of the
Bey has endeavoured to prevent the falsification of
money, and to remedy at the same time the present
dearth of specie. Tu attain this double object it has
thought fit to order a new coinage to be made of pure
silver, which will no longer afford the same
facilities to forgers as the present currency, and
in addition a sum equal to the issue of the
new coinage is to be created in treasury bills, pay-
able to bearer, which shall be a legal and obligatory
tender amongst all the inhabitants of the regency.
These bills will bear all the marks necessary to demon-
strate their authenticity, and in order to throw obstacles
in the way of their being forged, offices are to be esta-
blished in all the commercial centres to verify their iden-
tity; in order also that these bills may enjoy the full and
entire confidence of foreign merchants, the local treasury
will be always ready to give specie for them, on payment
of a discount, which is said to be fixed at 4 per cent.
This discount, whatever may be the rate established, is
not a speculation on the part of the local government.
It is for the purpose of preventing, by means of the loss
which would attend it, the immediate exchange of these
bills, which, if it were to take place at par, would be
speedily returned to the Government, and thus deprive
it of the resource which it was desirous of creating by
issuing them. The Government hopes, besides, that
when the commercial interests shall be convinced of the
wise delay and the prudence observed in the creation of
this paper money, confidence will not fail to be mani-
fested, and that private banks will be formed for dis-
counting at a more moderate rate than that fixed by the
Government the notes which the holders may wish to
change. To complete the advantages of this measure,
the Tunisian Government, as soon as it shall see
paper money taking the position that it has a right to
hope for, is decided on fixing in an invariable manner
the ♦alue of money, by giving to French money a legal
rate of currency in its states, so as to put an end to the
sudden and enormous fluctuations which the exchanges
continually experience, and which depend on the varia-
tions in the crops. But all these modifications would be
useless, if the Tunisian Government, in creating a paper
which is to repose essentially and exclusively on credit,
should not endeavour to inspire that credit by the only
means proper to inspire it— namely, by the prosperity of
the country. This prosperity can only be promoted by
a radical remodelling of the system of administration.
This is what the Government of the Bey appears to be
convinced of, for it is decided on the gradual abolition
of monopolies, and on giving the widest encouragement
for the development of agriculture, the true wealth of
the regency, by disembarrassing it of all the obstacles
which sow beset it. These measures, of which we can
announce the early execution, in securing for his High-
ness the Bey Ahmed the approbation of all civilised
governments, will give a permanent credit to his new
financial system, and confidence to all persons who
have commercial and other interests in the Regency of
Tunis."

The third report of the Irish Relief Commissioners,
which has just been published, has excited the anger
of many of the Irish Members. They conceive that
a charge has been made affecting the honour and
character of the people of that country, and imputing
to the gentry of Ireland, as a body, the grossest mis-
conduct, if not dishoneV, in their proceedings, as
members of the several relief committees, when car-

rying out the provisions of the Relief Bill. Such at
Least was the view taken by the Member fo7 Mallow
nesday ; and several otners appearrtrw
him in that opinion. With this impression it is not
surprising that an anxious desire should exist on
their part to exonerate the really innocent from every
imputation of so grave an offence, and to fix the
guilt firmly and unequivocally upon those who
have acted in so disgraceful and scandalous a manner.
There appears, however, too acute a sensibility on
the part of those who have generalised the charges
contained in the report, who will insist on their uni-
versality notwithstanding the express limitation of
the censure.
The finance committees have honourable testi-
mony borne to their merits. They are stated " to
have, with very rare exceptions, acted with seal and
intelligence, correcting in many instances errors of
system introduced by the relief committees." No per-
sons connected with these bodies, therefore, can have
any possible grounds for complaint, while in the class
more immediately impeached the Commissioners
admit " that in a great number of dis-
tricts the charge is not applicable." Where
there are so many wholly exempted, it cer-
tainly betokens an extreme degree of sensi-
tiveness to insist that any particular persons
are included, and to feel that it is necessary for
their vindication that they should specially be
exonerated. It would exhibit a much higher feeling
if they relied on their unimpeachable characters as an
amply sufficient answer. There is, however, a reason
why, in justice to the people of England as well as of
Ireland, the matter should not be suffered to rest
in its present state, but should receive that full and
perfect investigation which its importance requires.

sans have consented still to bear the burden of heavy

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday.

The Due DE BROGLIE was to leave Paris on that
day for London, to enter on his duties as Ambassador.
The Comte DE JARNAC, who has been staying at
Paris for a few days, was to leave that city at the
same time, for the purpose of resuming the exercise
of his functions as chief secretary to the English
Embassy.
The election of a Deputy for the fourth arrondisse-
ment of Paris, in the place of the late M. GANNEnoN,
commenced on Tuesday. There are four candidates
in the field, namely, Messrs. MALGAIGNE, BER-
TRAND, H. SAY, and FLANDIN. The number of
voters was 858, and the votes were as follow :—M.
MALGAIGNE, 317 ; M. BERTRAND, 229 ; M. H.
SAY, 197 ; and M. FLANDIN, 105 ; lost votes, 10.
As the absolute majority of 430 votes was obtained
by neither of the candidates, there was to be another
ballot on Wednesday. M. FLANDIN has retired from
the contest in favour of M. H. SAT.

The Budget of the Minister of the Interior was
voted by the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday, and
the discussion on that of the Minister of Commerce
and Agriculture was commenced. M. LEON FAUCHER
intends to propose, as an amendment to this Budget,
to vote a credit of 40,000,000 f. for the construction of
railroads, instead of one of twenty millions, as proposed
by the Committee. The Government hall originally
asked for sixty millions for this purpose. The Go-
vernment have entered into a convention with the
Lyons Railway Company, of which the following are
the principal provisions :

they made the sacrifice willingly, and without hesita-
tion, but fully aware of the additional difficulties
they themselves would have to encounter. They
knew that the tax on light and air must on that
account at least be continued for a longer period than
might otherwise have been the case—that they must
postpone for a considerable time the hope of obtaining
many of their humble comforts at more reasonable
prices, and such as would bring them within
their means of purchase. They have a right,
therefore, to know that their liberality has
not been imposed upon. Those who have acted
in the manner described by the Commissioners
should be exposed to the public odium, and,
if their offences are legally cognisable, they
should receive the punishment they so richly deserve,
and should be driven with contumely from the ad-
ministration of the trusts they have betrayed,
the duties they have violated, and should not he
suffered to remain in any branch of the public

service. A public board, consisting of gentle'nen

to reach the parties guilty of such infamous and dis-
graceful conduct. It would almost amount to a par-
ticipation in their guilt to shelter and protect them.
In others, although the parties may only have been
guilty of negligence or of giving a tacit sanction to the
insertion of improper parties on their lists, and there-
fore involved in a much less degree of criminality
than those to whom we have just alluded, yet per-
sons who could see their own or their neighbours'
servants, labourers, or wealthiest tenants, who from
their circumstances would have been well able to
• support themselves without any assistance, partici.

" The number of years shall be determined a year
after the conclusion of the works on the following basis:—
" It' the expense shall remain comp,i,ed between 200
and 216 millions, no augmentation shall be made in the
length of the concession; but for each sum of a million
which the company shall have expended beyond the 216
tnillions, there snail be accorded to it an additional year
in the said length, without, however, in any case the
duration ving beyond 99 years.
"The works relative to the passage through Lyons
shall be executed b) the State for a tium of twenty-tour
millions, which the company shall be bound to pay into
the trea,ury. _ _ _

" The c,:tepg.ny shall be bound to open to the public
the first ,ection of the lino, from Pubs to Tunnerre, at
the latest 4:n March 1,1849.

"The G•Nernment is authorised to make an arrange-
ment with the company by which the company will cease
to be bound to make the branch line from Dijon to
Chalon, but Inc arrangement must be made within one
mom.. from the passing o' this law.
"The company binds itself to reimburse to the State,
on the production of the settled accounts, the amount of
the expenditure or all kinds which shall have been made.
"In the event that the Government should think proper
to re-purchase the concession. if the re-purchase shall be
made within the first fifty y, ars, the annuity to be paid
to the company cannot be below 5i per cent. on the
capital experded, even if the produce should be below
thet sum. If the re-purchase shall take place beyond
the period of the first fifty years, the annuities shall be at
the rate of 8} per cent, interest on the capital expended,
even if the net produce should be above that sum."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton market et Liverpool was very firm again
yesterday. Sales 8,000 bales, including 800 bales of
American for exportation and 900 on speculation. There
were 5,000 bales American sold at 68d. to 7id. The
advance since last Friday is estimated at id. per lb.—A
good business was done in Shares, but prices were
scarcely supported.
The Share Market was a shade lower to-day, still the
fluctuation has not been very great. Shares in the East
Indian companies have come into great demand, and
from being a most unsaleable, have jumped up to a
premium. The following are a few of the principal sal-s
of Railway Shares by Messrs. Lamond and Cc,,;—

There are no late arrivals to-day from any quarter,
with the exception of the usual continental mails. These
are all very satisfactory in reference to the crops and
the weather and the markets. At Odessa, up to the 18th
ult., the prices of grain were declining, and very large
supplies r.-ere arriving, and still expected, from the in-
terior, t
pasturageth the rains
fowrhtihc
the
hadeat e fallenw h
while
onaeing affirded ex
ethe journey to
the port. At Bremen corn was cheaper, and at Riga
wheat was at lower rates, though rye had fluctuated,
and was not so decided in its tendency. In the Stettin
market, on the 25th instant, grain was flatter, and the
supplies large. The weather at Berlin, on the 26th ult.,
was moat auspicious.
A letter froen Naples states, under date of June 25th,
that 800 ships had passed there, mostly laden with grain,
and bound to Leghorn and Genoa. Throughout the
kingdom of the Two Sicilies the crops were excellent.
The Corn market is decidedly lower again to-day,
and with every appearance of a further decline. The
supplies are most abundant as regards foreign grain,
but there is still only a short quantity of English.
The dullness of the West India market has become a
matter of special remark lately, and there appears to he
no difference in this respect either here or at the out-
ports. Abundant supplies and foreign competitioe will
no doubt afford the readiest solution of this state of
affairs in the face of steady consumption, and we have
already seen the result in the fall of one or two houses
of good standing in the sugar trade. The f llowing
extract from a Bristol report is not very encouraging:—
" For West India sugar, which is now comparatively
cheaper than other descriptions, we continue to expe-
rience a steady consumptive demand, especially for those
kinds suitable for the pans, but the prices have again
retrograded, and must be quoted ls. to 2s. under the
rates current at the date of our last reoort; importers
generally have been free sellers throughout the month,
and the market has been well supplied with samples,
but this remark applies more particularly to West India
descriptions, as the holders of Mauritius have mostly
withdrawn their stocks from the market for the present;
the stock of Bengal is nearly all in second hands, and the
business is consequently limited.
" Purchases of good working sugars continue to be
made in London and Liverpool by our refiners, as this
description is still scarce here; the refined market has
been flat, and prices have given way 2s. to 3s. per cwt.,
595. to 60s. being now the average value of a refining,
against 625. to 635. at the end of last month. Treacle
has also declined in value, the best make having been
sold for forward delivery at 245., and syrup at 265. For
Crushed and Pieces the demand continues good, and
those descriptions, especially the former, command corn-
' partitively high prices."
The English Funds are extremely dull, and there is
a slight disposition to sell. Consols for Account have
been 89k to 888. As we get towards the 16th inst.
the state of the account will probably develop itself more
clearly. The Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities have
realised 891 to 891 Exchequer• bills are maintained
at 83. to 12.. premium.
The Foreign Securities have been without much varia-
tion. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been quoted
301; Spanish Five per Cents., 21 to 1; and the Three
per Cents. ex. dividend, 32k. Mexican Stock, fur the
account, is at 198 to*. Dutch Four per Cents. are 64
Railway Shares have be en rather in favour of buyers,
but holders are not inclined to d) business. Eastern
Counties, Great Northern, Midland, South-Eastern and
Staines, and South-Western, are firm. Caledonian,
North-Western, and the French lines, are a shade lower.

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—Among the
novelties lately deposited in this museum is a beautitu;
engraving of the " Head of Christ," by Mr. Wass, of
Adam-street, Adelphi, after a picture by. Etty. The
engraving is of the same size as the original painting,
_to t.„. oval. ive
amore perfect copy of theThrigiraf, afirTurnisnirg L.,
the purchasers of the print a transcript not too duni-
ni.hed to convey the man,er of the artist at once to the
eye when hanging against the wall of a room. The
painting was exhibited in the year 1844 in the Gallery
of the British Institution, and was then much admired.
There is great boldness and breadth in the painting, and
it is strictly an original conception. There is no subser-
vieney of copying, nor any pre[ conception from the
heads of the Messiah so repeatedly produced by the
Italian and Spanish masters. It partakes of the human
attributes, and is nit idealised or rendered effeminate by
an attempt to refine. The engraver purchased the
painting, and has been assiduous, and certainly success-
ful in his efforts to produce the print. It is engraved in
a manner that preserves solidity, and brings it nearer to
the style of the painter and to the imitation of painting
than heretofore has been met with. There is something
original in the manner in which Mr. Wass has produced
this effect, and he will do well to cultivate his ta!ent for
this novelty in art. The engraving is of an oval shape;
the whole is very vigorous, displaying great freedom of
hand and great power of expression.
KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL, PORTUGAL-STREET,
LINCOLN'S INN-FIELDS.—Thursday afternoon a special
general court of the governors of the above institution
was held for the purpose of receiving a proposition to
elect the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, Bart., M.P., to
the office of Vice-President of the hospital. Alderman
Cop-land, M.P., having taken the chair, proposed a
resolution embodying the object abovenamed, which
was seconded by Major Moore, and Sir Robert Peel was
unanimously elected by a very full court of governors.
Thanks having been voted to Mr. Alderman Copeland,
the chair was vacated by that gentleman, and occupied
by Mr. W. Fergusson, F.R.S., and after the disposal of
the routine business connected with the charity the
meeting separated. From the report of the secretary,
Mr. Lyon, it appears that the charity is greatly increas-
ing in public utility, 17,850 patients having been treated
during the past year, of whom 1,276 were in-door re-
cipients. It is also reported, that since 1840 nearly
84,000 patients have been admitted without letters of
recommendation, including about 5,000 in patients.
AN INNOCENT CONVICT.—A highway robbery was
committed in the early part of 1846 by fur persons,
near Hertford, and three were taken into custody and
tried at the February assizes held there, and being all
found " guilty," were sentenced each to 15 years' trans-
portation. William Bowers, one of the persons con-
victed, declared his innocence of any participation in the
crime after sentence bad been passed upon them • but
the testimony of his fellow-convicts was of a doubtful na-
ture, owing to their silence on the subject previous to
conviction. Another of the guilty parties having been
recently taken, confessed to the chaplain of the Hertford
Gaol that William Bowers was innocent of being a :par-
ticipator in the crime of which he was convicted, and
named the other person, still at large; and it having
now been satisfactorily established that Bowers was
really innocent, a free pardon for him was received from
Sir George Grey, Secretary of State, by Mr. Master-
:Han, Governor of the Warrior convict hulk, at Wool-
wich, yesterday, and the prisoner was immediately libe-
rated. The poor man appeared greatly delighted with
the prospect of his immediate return to his wife and
three children, from whom he has been separated during
the last 18 months, and his case is one deserving the
consideration of the authorities at Hertford, to enable
him to become again a useful memberof society when his
innocence has been proved.
SOUTH SEA HOUSE.—Thursday a quarterly general
court of proprietors of South Sea stock was held at the
company s house in Threadneedle-street, for the pur-
pose of declaring a dividend, Charles Franks, Esq., the
sub-governor in the chair. The minutes of the last
court were read and confirmed. The secretary read a
statement of the company's accounts for the past half-
year. The Chairman, after referring to those accounts,
and explaining an error in them with respect to a date,
moved that a dividend of one and three-quarters per
cent. be declared on the company's stock fur the half-
year ending the sth of July. The motion was agreed
to, and the dividends announced to be payable on the
same day as the Government dividends. There being no
other business before it, the court adjourned.
THE CROPS IN AMERICA.—We have made it our
business to read, carefully, the accounts of the growing
crops throughout the country, since the opening of
spring, and we have arrived at the conclusion that the
prospect of the husbandman of reaping a plentiful
harvest is decidedly good. To be sure, the lateness
and coldness of the season, and the hail-storms,
have in some places destroyed the young cotton
and tobacco plants, but the ground which these occu-
pied has been generally replanted with corn, or
something else equally as good for the sustenance of
man. In the west and south west, the prospect of
an abundant yield was never better, and if the wea-
ther be propitious that prolific part of the country
will give au unlimited yield. The immense drain
upon this country for food for the past year, and the
prospective demand for the surplus of this year's
harvest, stimulated many of our citizens, who never
made two blades grow where but one grew, to
leave their regular business and embark in agricul-

planted on a larger scale than they ever did, will give

DEVELOPMENT OF STEAM NAVE'

(From La Presse.)
Eleven years since (May 16, 1836) an unpretending
b!
association was formed at Trieste for navigating t
Mediteranean. Supported by the Austrian Governmeow
the Austrian Lloyd's Company has succeeded in increste.
in g its steam-boats from 6 to 20, and the number of triv
yellers conveyed in one year from 7,967 to 124 985. Theta/
amount of in,rchandise, letters and bullion has increas a
in a similar proportion. 35,000 letters, 5,000 cases.
an
10 millions in specie, were conveyed in the year 183';
which increased to 277,000 letters, 136,137 cases, and 8
millions of specie in the year 1846 The preceding
tails, which might be multiplied, demonstrate sufficientl
that the important establishment of Lloyd's has already
brought to Trieste a cons derable number of passengev
acd merchandise which formerly took another directioe'
It is towards that point the greater part of the nor,

one-halt the line from Trieste to Ostend is opened to i';
public. This matter appears to us of such importeli;
that we consider it necessary to enter into some det,L,
on the subject. The entire trantnit from Ostend to

14 from Heilbronn to Ulm, through Stuttgard, and 68
from Augsburg to Munich, are open to the public; ;14
leagues, forming a great portion of the line from 13113",,
to Trieste. are already finished. Thus of the entire e'„;

to be so, and the completion of the remainder of the 14
is being actively accomplished. Independently of t"0
bne, the road from Trieste to Ostend, through Bresle
Vienna, Magdeburg, Minde and Cologne, offers an t1:0
interupted continuation of completed roads, since of 0
extent of 625 leagues 119 only, those portions fry,

Houses of Parl ament, I should be ill disposed to find
fault without due occasion with a journal that
and on other occasions, has shown so laudable aa ton
desire this,tn
collect the earliest and most varied information for the
instruction and amusement of its readers. But I trust
I may be allowed to impress on the mind of your
reporter the extreme care and discrimination that ought
to be observed in the necessarily brief 1 ction of the
se e
leading facts of the evidence, that its general meaning
and oiject be preserved. I make these observations in
consequence of having had my attention called, a few
days ago, to certain statements contained; in The Sun
of the 14th inst., purporting to be evidence given by me
before a Committee of the Souse of Commons, in favour
of the (teat Norther. (Axholme Extension) Railway,
which contains several inaccuracies, and is calculated to
conv..y an erroneous impression the general reader. I
am made, incorrectly, to use the word e " middleman" to
de,icrne the factors who attend Docaster market and
though that may not have been intended as a term of
reproach, it has, nevertheless, since the able exposure by
the 1 imes of the coeaere system in Ireland, been con
.o.irreil any-thine but an enviable title. There are among
that body men for whom I entertain feelings of the
highest respect, whose integrity of purpo'e, intelligence,
render them worthy of a far
more respectful appellation than is convey ii in the op-
probrious taunt of " middleman." The Doncasterians
4ave niter' eu that my evidence was calculated to in-
juriously affect their market, by its being stated that the
current of trade would he diverted from its present chan-
nel, and reach the great consuming markets of the west,
without first touching at the intermediate market of
Donca,ter. The opinion I expressed was quite the
contrary of this; but I will not further trespass on the
SleaCe )one columns. inserting these te,..
remarks you will disabuse the minds ce =toy, and do a
