INAUGURATION OF A LIBERAL
MINISTR: Y IN TUSCANY.
The Florence Gar- ette, of the 13th, announces the
resignation of CAPPOt II and his colleagues. On the
following day anew M. inistry was formed as follows:
President of the Coup cil M. G. B. Nicolini
Interior . M. Guerrazai

Foreign Affairs. ...... .M. Montanelli
..M. Mariano d'Ayala

Grace and Justice.... M. Guido Rontani

The members of at) new Cabinet all profess the
most liberal opinions. I.lChe announcement of the change
of Ministry was received with great satisfaction at
Leghorn.
The Alba of Florence., of the 12th, publishes a letter
from Venice of the 7 Lb, which states that a revolution
had broken out at Trieste, and that a Republic had
been proclaimed. This rumour, however, requires
confirmation.

FALL OF A RAILWAY BRIDGE
(TIIIS DAY.)

CANTERBURY, FRDMY MORNING.—An accident oc-
curred this morning, about one o'clock, to the luggage
and fish train, which leaves Margate shortly before
midnight. It appearedi that everything proceeded in the
usual manner until the train reached the bridge which
crosses the river Stour in the hamlet of Chartham,
about three miles frora this city, upon approaching
which the engine appeared to oscillate considerably.
The next moment the bridge gave way, most part of it
falling as the engine and trucks were about to pass. The
crash is said to have been tremendous, and the conse-
quences may be faintly imagined from the fact that the
whole train, engine, tender, and trucks fell into the
stream, and into the vale beneath, completely destroying
that portion of the line, and scattering the various arti-
cles consigned for conveyance to the metropolis.
SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY STATION, LONDON, FRI-
DAY MORNING, 10 A.m.—Upon inquiry this morning at
the London terminus, the reporter was informed, by a
gentleman connected with the Superintendent's depart-
ment, that it was the fact that an accident had occurred
in consequence of the downfall of part of Chartham-
bridge, near Canterbury. No information has yet
reached the officials as to any person being injured. The
line at present between Chilham and Canterbury stations
is quite blocked up.
The mail train was detained a short time while ar-
rangements could be made for forwarding the passengers
and letter- bags.
The cause of the fall of the bridge is supposed to be
the excessive floods which have recently taken place in
the valley through which the river Stour flows.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONELANQUE.)
IN RE DARBY.

This bankrupt was described as a horse dealer in
Dorset-mews, Dorset-square, and to-day was appointed
for the last examination, which had been adjourned till
this day in order that an issue might be tried as to
whether an act of bankruptcy had been committed. A
verdict in the affirmative having been returned,
Mr. CooKE now applied, on behalf of the bankrupt,
for a further adjournment, in order that the accounts,
which were likely to be very voluminous, might be pre-
pared.

- Mr. JONES, on behalf of the assignees, offered no
objection.

His HONOUR said, it must be at the expense of the
bankrupt. He hoped an end would be put to the ex-
pense and delay which ought not to hare occurred in
such a case. Enortnous expenses had been incurred
through sheer obstinacy from the beginning.
Mr. Woodin, a farrier, claimed to prove for
318/. 14s. 2d., for shoeing. He said he was by no
means satisfied with the manner in which the fiat was
worked. It was a mysterious case. He felt so dis-
satisfied that he should take the inquiry out of the hands
of the assignees.

His Hortowl Said he (Mr. Woodin) could do so, but
as it must be at his own expense, he had better take time
to consider.

Mr. Woodin said expense would not deter him.
Mr. JONES said the assignees would prosecute any
inquiry Mr. Woodin would suggest, but at present they
had no point to direct their attention to.

The Case was then adjourned tor a month.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
James Mills, a well-dressed young man, was charged
before Mr. Henry with being found in the garden of the
house 94, Great Russell-street, Bedford-square, with
intent to commit a burglary. It appeared that a police.
man saw the prisoner get over the garden wall at two
o'clock this morning. He followed him over the wall,
and found him lying down in a grotto. Being asked
what brought him there, the prisoner replied that he
came to lie down, having no bed to go to. Beside him
on the ground were found a set of house-breaking
implements and a taper, and in his pocket several
matches.

In his defence he denied all knowledge of the taper
and the impleinents, but admitted that he had the
matches. He was a cheesemonger's shopaian, and
referred for a character to Mr. Lader, cheesemongt-r,
69, Leather-lane, and to Mr. Bateman in the same trade
and street.
He was remanded for the purpose of inquiring into his
statement.

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY).
A young man, named Joseph Boarbank, an apprentice
of Mr. John Hall, carpet-bag maker, Southampton-
buildings, Holborn, was charged with robbing his
master.
It appeared that the prisoner was yesterday morning
observed by two police. constables of the G division to be
heavily laden, in Luke •street, Shoreditch, and upon their
interrogating the prisoner as to his possession of his
bulky bundle, he answered that he was taking it to one
of his master's customers. The officers followed him to
the business premises of a Mr. Archer in the same street,
where the bundle, consisting of a quantity of choice
leather, was left, as if sent by the prisoner's master. No
invoice, however, having been Lent with the goods, en-
quiries were made, and. it was not only ascertained that
the property in question had been stolen by the prisoner,
but that he had been for a length of time robbing his
master in a similar manner.

On the application of Mr. Hall, the prisoner was re-
manded, in order to bring forward other eyidence as to
his delinquency.

BODY or A GENTLEMAN POUND OFF CRZMORNE
GARDZNS.—This morning information was forwarded to
the various metropolitan and City police-offices and
stations that the body of a gentleman, unknown, had been
discovered in the Thames, off Cremorne Gardens,
Chelsea. The age of the deceased is stated to be about
30 or 35 years, of dark complexion, 5 feet 8 inches in
height, dark hair and whiskers, which meet nearly at
the chin. In the pockets of the deceased were found a
silk handkehchief and a razor. The body of deceased is
dressed in a blue Chesterfield coat, dark figured double-
breasted vest, dark brown speckled stockings, and lies
at St. Luke's workhouse, Chelsea.

MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EX.CI.I A.& GE-FRIDAY.

The quantity of English Wheat received up for our
market, since Monday having been very limited, the silow
of samples of that grain to-day was small, while their
quality was inferior. The attendance of buyers was tole
rably good. Selected parcels, both red and white, con'
manded a steady, though not to say brisk, sale, at full/
Monday's. quotations. The middling and out-of-condi-
tion samples commanded very little alteration at late
rates. A large quantity of foreign Wheat—upwards',
22,000 quarters—has come in this week. There iv2l
more disposition shown to purchase the finest desorir
tions at late currencies. Other kinds of 'Wheat moved
off slowly at full prices. The best parcels of Barley,
both English and foreign, moved off steadily; all other
kinds slowly at late prices. Superfine old Malt was In'
quired for, at full prices. Other qualities were quite °A;
dear. In Oats a moderate business was transacted, al
last week's quotations. Beans, Peas, and Indian Cora
were lower to purchase. Flour and Meal supported
Monday's prices.
