PRUSSIA.
Berlin papers of the date of the 6th contain
articles congratulatory on the termination of the
Schleswig-Holstein question, the tone of which is
rendered somewhat ludicrous when contrasted with
the fact of the rejection of the armistice by the
Frankfort Assembly.
The cholera is making considerable progress at
Magdeburg, particularly in those portions of the town
which border on the Elbe—portions in which the
epidemic committed great havoc in 1831. In this
capital about fifty fresh cases occur every day. The
recoveries are but few.

LAMBETH.

Adolphus Von Zwahl, alias the Rev. William Liebrech,
a German, who has been in custody for some days on a
charge of obtaining goods from Mr. Simpson, a chemist,
in the Kennington-road, and Mr. Macken, a tailor, in
Ryder-street, St. James's, was brought up for further
examination.
Attley, an active plain-clothes constable, belonging to
the L division, had in the meantime searcheil his lodg-
ings, and found duplicates and other documents which
are likely to lead to the disclosure of other frauds.
Mr. Philip Chafer, a saddler, of 44, Brewer-street,
Golden-square, deposed that on the Ist of July last the
prisoner came to his shop and purchased a portmanteau,
which he directed to be sent to London-street, Feuchurch-
street, and said it would be paid for on delivery. The
prisoner said at the time that he was married to a lady
of large fortune, residing at Shooter's-hill, and asked
him to go there to shoot.—(Laughter.)
In his cross-examination, the witness said that he had
previously known the prisoner from his being secretary
to a German society, and admitted that he had trusted
him with the portmanteau upon his own responsibility.
Worthington Strange Lodge, foreman to Mr. Macken,
tailor, in Ryder-street, St. James's, deposed that the pri-
soner gave an order for trousers and waistcoat, and on
subsequent visits gave further orders for trousers and
waistcoats, and also one for a court dress, stating that he
was going to Osborne-house to be presented to the
Queen and Prince Albert.—(Laughter.) The court
dress was supplied, and from the time of its being so
supplied he (witness) had neither seen nor heard of him
until he saw him in Horsemonger-lane Gaol on the pre-
sent charge.
Solicitor—On what terms was the court dress sup-
plied ? Witness—On hire ; and three guineas was to
be the charge for its use.
Solicitor—The usual round-breasted coat and bag
wig, I suppose ? Witness—Yes.
Solicitor—Pray, did you supply the dress sword?
Witness—Allow me, sir, to tell you that it is not eti-
quette for clergymen to wear swords.—(Load laughter.)
Solicitor—Well, I suppose you supplied the silk
stockings ? Witness—Well, I offered to supply them,
but the prisoner told me he had half a dozen pair him-
himself, and this threw me off my guard. The shoes,
he said, he should get from Burlington Arcade.

LINCOLN ELECTION.

The following Members having been appointed to try
the merits of the election for the city of Lincoln were
sworn at the table :—Mr. W. Miles, Mr. Lockhart, Mr.
J. B. Smith, Mr. Langston, and Mr. Morgan John
O'Connell (chairman).
Mr. HUME presented a petition, signed by numerous
inhabitants of Colombo, in the island of Ceylon. The
petitioners stated that they were suffering under great
grievances, and that a spirit of discontent was very
widely spread among them. They had presented several
petitions, very numerously signed, to the Governor of
the island, but their prayer had been wholly disre-
garded, and they now prayed the House to institute an
inquiry into the cause of their grievances.
The Hort. MEMBER also presented several petitions
against the income-tax in its present shape.
ROYAL CO M MISSION.

The Usher of the Black Rod appeared at the bar, and
requested the attendance of the House in the House of
Peers, to hear the Royal Assent given by Commission
to the Consolidated Fund (8,000,0000 Bill, and the
New Zealand Bill.

The Speaker accompanied by several Hon. Members
accordingly proceeded to the House of Lords.
LYME REGIS ELECTION. _ _ _

Lord ASHLEY brought up the report of the Com-
mittee on the Lyme Regis election petition, declaring
Mr. Abdy to have been duly elected. The Committee
also reported that Mr. John Attwood, formerly a
Member of that House, had, since 1842, purchased
considerable property in Lyme Regis, and had been
in the habit of granting money to voters in
that town on condition that such voters should at future
occasions vote for him or any one whom he might nomi-
nate. The Committee bad also ascertained that the
petition was set on foot at the desire of Mr. Attwood,
who personally requested the parties to become the peti-
tioners, and had undertaken to pay the ex-
penses of such petition, including the possible
forfeiture of the recognizances. The Committee had
also ascertained that the same gentleman bore the ex-
pense of the petition of 1842, amounting to nearly
1,000/., and the Committee desired to express their

opinion that the house ought Instantly to take measures
to check such transactions, which operated grievously
upon the electors, and totally destroyed all the freedom
of elections. The report was received with loud cheers.
On the motion of the NORIA LORD, the minutes of the
proceedings, and evidence taken before the Committee,
were ordered to be laid upon the table of the House.

INCOME-TAX.

Mr. MACGREGOR gave notice that, in the event of
the income-tax being continued, he should move, on bring-
ing up the report, that it was just and expedient to ex-
tend to Ireland, till 1851, the same rate of income-tax,
excise duties, and other assessed taxes, which might
be levied during the same time in Great
-Britain.

" Whereas large bodies of persons assembled yester-
day, in the fuienoon and theetighout the day, and part
of the night, in Trafalgar-square, and iu the neighbour-
hood, and committed many acts of violence and rioting,
and serious breaches of the peace. And whereas large
bodies of persons are at this time there assembled, whereby
the public peace is greatly disturbed, and the peaceable
inhabitants of the neighbourhocl are interrupted in their
lawful business, and alarmed :-Notice is hereby
given, that all such meetings and assemblies are contrary
to law ; and orders have been given to the police to
prevent such unlawful meetings, and to apprehend and
take into their custody all offenders, that they may be
dealt with according to law. And all persons are
hereby cautioned and strictly enjoined not to attend, or
join, or be present at any such meeting. And all well
disposed persons are hereby called upon and required
to aid the police in the discharge of their duties, and to
ASSlit, as far as they may be able, in protection of the
public peace.
Whitehall, March 7th, 1848, two o'clock."
Whitehall and Cockspur street have been thronged
during the whole of the afternoon, and the traffic
has been thereby greatly impeded. All the
shops in the view of the square continue
closed, and business is entirely suspended in
many of them. All violence has ceased. The police
in large numbers are scattered about in all directions.
Their violence is generally complained of ; in fact, all
with whom we conversed said, " If the police had not
interfered with the crowd in the first instance that no
violence would have been done."
Fourteen wounded persons have been taken to the
hospital in the course of the day, with wounds of more
or less severity, from the staves of the police. Nearly
forty persons have been taken into custody, charged
with throwing stones at the police, and with other riotous
conduct
We noticed one instance of brutal violence on the
part of the police, about half-past five o'clock, at
Charing.crues. One of the detective police caught
hold of a young man with dreadful violence,
crying out, "We want no thieves here." He
dashed him into the road with so much violence
that our reporter, amongst several others, was
nearly knocked down. The young man denied
that he was a thief ; but the denial exasperated
the officer, who pursued him for some distance, and
w
when he as stopped he struck him on the head with
brutal violer.ce, and shook him. Should not the man,
we thought, have been left to the punishment of the law
if he were guilty, instead of being subjected to the
brutality of one of its mercenaries? The man was
carried off to Gardener's-lane in the charge of at least 50
policemen, followed by nearly 2,000 persons.
The police were under the directions of Commissioner
Afayne, and Superintendents Hayes, Pearce, Hughes,
sad Beresford.

LONDON, TUESDAY. MARCH 7, 1848.

Upon the decision which the House of Commons
may arrive at on the amendment last night moved by
the veteran Reformer JOSEPH HUME, will in all pro-
bability depend whether the country is to be perma-
nently saddled with the iniquitous and inquisitorial
income-tax, with all its inequalities, or whether a
more correct and equitable system of taxation will be
introduced, by which the sums required for the
national expenditure may be levied in a manner at
once the least burdensome to the community in
general, and fairest to the parties called upon to pro-
vide the necessary amount. The Honourable Member
fur Montrose does not desire to embarrass the Go-
vernment, nor to force them to introduce a better sys-
tem without affording full and ample time to consider
the important topic in all its bearings. He feels the
deep injustice inflicted on the industrious classes
by the present law. He believes that wise and pru-
dent measures of economy may effect savings that
would render the most objectionable part of the im-
post:viz., that levied on incomes not derived from
realised property, wholly unnecessary, and that so
much might be remitted without any increase in the
remainder. But if that should prove to be impossible,
and if, after a searching investigation, it should be
found that no material reductions in the amount of
the national expenditure can take place without
danger to the credit of the country, and that either a
constantly increasing deficiency, or the opening up of
new sources of revenue, are inevitable, he will greatly
prefer the latter alternative, and sanction such mea-
sures as may be necessary for that purpose, provided ,
that they are based upon justice, and are such as men
of honour and integrity can give their assent to.
The opponents of the present system do not object
to contribute their fair proportion to the wants and
exigencies of the country, but they most strenuously
protest against an equal amount being levied on moneys
derived from professional and precarious sources to that
levied on incomes derived from real property. They
are conscious that the greater portion of the amount
to be collected from the people is required for the
payment of the interest of our national debt, a debt
which was contracted for the protection of the accu-
mulated and realised property, and ~,which should
entirely be defrayed out of the property which was
thereby not only preserved, but materially increased in
London, England, 1848-03-07

IV.-M. CREDIIEUX.

It is a somewhat singular fact that at a moment
when the English Legislature is discussing the question
of removing Jewish disabilities—as if there were any
question at all relative to the propriety, wisdom, and
justice of such a measure—a Jew should be holding a
conspicuous place in the Provisional Government
of France. Yet such is the case ; and the
gentleman alluded to is the subject of the
present sketch. More remarkable and more
significant still is the circumstance that M. Cremieux is
Minister of Justice, a department with which is associ-
ated that of public worship. Thus the gallant and liberal
Parisians are not afraid to entrust the control of the
Catholic Church to the hands of a Jew, while, in Eng-
land, Sir Robert Inglis, and the other old women of the
same claas, are whining over the probable destinies of the
Established Church and the Protestant Creed should Jews
be admitted into the British Parliament. " They order
these things better in France," we may observe with
Sterne. .hl. Cremieux has long sat in the Chamber of
Deputies for the Electoral College of Chinon; and
from the very first he has proved himself a staunch '
friend to the people and to political freedom.
To the Guizot Cabinet he was an unflinchin,,!,
opponent—losing no opportunity to assail its ini-
quitous policy, and to proclaim the necessity of
radical reform in every department and institution
of the State. Ile was ever most energetic in supporting
M. Duverp,ier d'Haurranne's annual motion for the ex-
clusion of paid functionaries (the Ministers excepted)
from the Chamber; and he advocated the broadest and
most comprehensive principles of free trade. Where
the game-law, initiated iu the Chamber of Peers,
came on for discussion in the Chamber of Deputies,
Cremieux gave it his most vigorous oppositLn ;
but, finding that the Ministers were resolved
to carry it by means of their iniquitously packed ma
jority, he fought hard to procure the suppression of the
clause which exempted Crown lands from the provisions
of the measure. In this aim he was successful; but the
Peers restored the obnoxious paragraph. When Du-
ehatel made his memorable declaration, three weeks
ago, to the effect that no reform would be granted,
and that the Government had resolved to put
down the banquets, Cremieux called out, " There
is blood in this !" and be prophesied truly. It was
he, also, who encountering Louis Philippe and the
ex-Queen Amelie in the middle of the Place de
la Concorde, on the Thursday of their flight, recom
mended them to depart immediately, "no hope for them
being left." Ho then proceeded to the Chamber of
Deputies, where, rejecting the appeal made in behalf of
the Count of Paris, he advocated—nay insisted upon.
the formation of a Provisional Government. Thus, con-
sistent to the last, Cremieux used all his influence to lead
France to the fulfilment of her highest destinies in the
establishment of a Republic.

LONDON, TUESDAY. MARCH 7, 1848.

Upon the decision which the House of Commons
may arrive at on the amendment last night moved by
the veteran Reformer JOSEPII Hums, will in all pro-
bability depend whether the country is to be perma-
nently saddled with the iniquitous and inquisitorial
income-tax, with all its inequalities, or whether a
more correct and equitable system of taxation will be
introduced, by which the sums required for the
national expenditure may be levied in a manner at
once the least burdensome to the community in
general, and fairest to the parties called upon to pro-
vide the necessary amount. The Honourable Member
for Montrose does not desire to embarrass the Go-
vernment, nor to force them to introduce a better sys-
tem without affording full and ample time to consider
theimportant topic in all its bearings; He feels the
deep injustice inflicted on the industrious classes
by the present law. He believes that wise and pru-
dent measures of economy may effect savings that
would render the most objectionable part of the im-
post,;vis., that levied on incomes not derived from
and that so
realised property, wholly unnecessary,
much might be remitted without any increase in the
remainder. But if that should prove .
to be impossible,
and if, after a searching investigation, should be
found that no material reductions in the amount of
the national expenditure can take place without
danger to the credit of the country, and that either a
• constantly increasing deficiency, or the opening up of
new sources of revenue, are inevitable, he will greatly
prefer the latter alternative, and sanction such mea-
sures as may be necessary for that purpose, provided
that they are based upon justice, and are such as men
of honour and integrity can give their assent to.
The opponents of the present system do not object
to contribute their fair proportion to the wants and
exigencies of the country, but they most strenuously
protest against an equal amount being levied on moneys
derived from professional and precarious sources to that
levied on incomes derived from real property. They
are conscious that the greater portion of the amount
to be collected from the people is required for the
payment of the interest of our national debt, a debt
which was contracted for the protection of the accu-
mulated and realised property, and !which should
entirely be defrayed out of the property which was
there* not only preserved, but materially increased in

RIOTS IN GLASGOW.

GLASGOW, MARCH 6, 4 r.m.—A Chartist mob is
at this moment creating serious disturbances in our
city. They have broken into many gun-shops, and
among them that adjoining the Electric Telegraph'
office. Thus many of them are provided with arrest
and these they flourish like madmen or drunkards,
shouting " Down with the Queen." That portion of
the mob I have seen did not number much above s
thousand of both sexes; but other bodies of rioters
are said to be similarly engaged in ether parts of the
city. Two policemen are reported to have been shot,
and many to have been seriously wounded, but there
will doubtless be much exaggeration at such a time.
GLASGOW, HALF-PAST SIX, P.M,—There appeal
to be a momentary lull among the rioters, but from
the number of guns which are said to have been taken
it is to be feared there will be fresh outbreaks, and
the coming night is looked to in apprehension and
dread.

The military, however, are judiciously posted in
various parts of the city, a strong detachment being
stationed in the Royal Exchange. Every gun-shop
has been ransacked, and plunder seems to be the order
of the day, for many tradesmen's stores have been
broken into, and among them those especially of the
jewellers. All shops have been closed since the com-
mencement of the riot.

EDINBURGH, 11 P.M.—lntelligence has been re-
ceived here that the Glasgow mob is increasing in
numbers and audacity. They are pulling up the rails
on the Paisley and Airdrie lines.
One hundred and fifty Dragoons have just gone to
our railway station to proceed to Glasgow, and NO
understand six hundred of the 71st Foot are immedi-
ately to follow them.

CRIMINAL COURT.--(THIS DAY

OLD CO UR 7.
(Before the RECORDER.)
James Smith, aged 21, a labourer, was brought up on
an indictment charging him with burglary in the dwell.
ing-house of Francis King, and stealing therefrom a
watch, 16 spoons, and other articles, value 251. Richard
Clarke was also charged with being an accomplice, and
receiving the goods, knowing them to he stolen.
On the part of the prisoner Clarke it was endeavoured
to establish an alibi, against the other prisoner the evi
dente was too strong to admit of a doubt as to his having
committed the robbery, and when taken into custody had
the property in his possession.
The jury found both of the prisoners Guilty. Smith
was sentenced to- ten years' transportation ; sentence
upon Clarke was deferred, in order to afford time for
causing inquiries to be made respecting the accuracy of
the evidence of the witness in support of the alibi.

DECLARATION OF THE IRISH

COUNCIL.

The Irish Council indignant at the refusal of the
House of Commons to sanction the inquiry into the
efficiency and working of the Irish Poor-law, which had
been asked for by the almost unanimous voice of the
Irish Representatives (upon which refusal we commented
last week), held a special meeting at the Northumber-
land-buildings, on Friday, March 3d, 1848; the Right
Hon. Lord Clor.curry took the chair, when it was resolved
—" That the recent division in the House of Commons,
on the motion for an inquiry into the operation of the
Irish Poor-law, exhibits a determination on the part of
Government and Legislature to rule this country with-
out regard to the will of the Irish people, as expressed
through their representatives ; and that the Irish
Council considering the impossibility of providing ade-
quate subsistence for the perishing poor without an im-
mediate alteration of the law, declare their deep dissatis-
faction at such refusal of inquiry.
" That the Council do meet on this day week, and that
the Members of the Council, especially those who are
Members of Parliament, be earnestly requested to attend,
for the purpose of considering how most effectively that
dissatisfaction may be manifested.
(Signed) "CLONCURRY, Chairman.

" (In the absence of Sir Colman O'Loghlen,)
"Acting llon. Secretary."

CHINA.

Our dates from Hong-Kong are to the 30th of
October. The following is the letter of our corre-
spondent at that port :
" The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Bragsnzs, with the 24th of August mail, arrived on the
23,1 inst. She had very severe weather near the coast
of China. At Canton and the ports matters keep per-
fectly quiet. Hong-Kong is more healthy than of late;
the cool autumn having set in. All her Majesty's troops
have been landed during the month, end the three char-
tered ehips have been psid off. We regret having to
report that a malignant fever was very prevalent at
Shanghae, which had carried off some foreigners; and
by the last accounts, of the 21st insta4, it had not
abated. The sickness is attributed to the uuseattonable
summer and constant rains.

" We regret to state that his Excellency Governor
Bonham met with a severe accident four days since in
spraining both his ankles by a fall, which is likely to
confine him some time to the house. He is, we hear,
going on favourably.
"After some correspondence the American Commis-
sioner, the Hon, Mr. Davis, has had an interview with
the Governor-General Sew, on the 6th inst., at Canton,
which tock place at Huwqua's residence, and terminated
with a banquet. _

" During the month we have had very severe weather,
particularly on the coast, and the disasters have been
numerous, several vessels returning to port disabled.
Her Majesty's ship Childers sailed for Shanghae on the
4th, and returned to port on the 28th inst. She met
with a hurricane on the 7th, land was driven on the
?ratas shoal on the 10th inst., where she remained till
the 25th. She threw all her guns overboard, lost her
boats, spars, &c., and her hull is much damaged by
constant bumping during the continuance of the severe
weather.

" The lion. Company's steamer Phlegethon arrived
from Manilla on the 25th inst., to which port she was
obliged to put back after being 150 miles oil' the China
coast.

" Her Majesty's brig Columbine came down from
Amoy on the 25th to take provisions.
" Her Majesty's steamer Medea remains at Whampoa,
and Pluto steamer at Cantos. Her Majesty's steamer
Scout is at Foochowfoo, her Majesty's steamer Mariner
at Shanghae, her Majesty's frigate Cambrian, Commo-
dore Plumridge, sailed for Singapore and Bombay on
the 24th inst. Admiral Collyer is expected here imme-
diately in the Hastings, 74. _ _ _

" Our latest dates are, from Lyndon, August 24 ;
from Calcutta, September 16 ; from Bombay, Septem-
ber 18 ; Madras, September 15 ; Singapore, the 10th
inst.; Manilla, the 18th inst.; and from Sydney, Sep-
tember 6, by the James Scott, arrived at Weosung on the
19th inst."

We read in the Gazette des Tribunaux :—" The
Ice• preliminary examinations relative to the attempt of
the 15th May (the invasion of the National Assembly)
are nearly gone through, and it is said that the
15 Chamber of Accusation of the Court of Appeal is to
be convoked for Friday next, to: hear the report of
the Procureur• General on this case, which
is extremely voluminous, comprising more
than three thsusand documents. The proceedings
thus far do not enable us to foresee before what
jurisdiction the trial will take place. The decree of
the Chambre d'Accusation and of the Court of Paris
does not appear to us to be an obstacle to the case
being eventually sent, for public safety, or for a cause
of legitimate suspicion, before some other Court of
Assizes than that of the Seine."

Shere Singh and Moolraj have parted. Why, we
I are not perfectly informed ; report says because the dis
trust entertained of the former by the latter prevented
either from vigorous action. At the same time Chuttur
Singh not finding himself get on quite so fast as he had
honed in the plenitude of his conceit, his expectations of
a defection of the Peshawur force disappointed, and his
movements vigilantly watched by Captain Abbott and
his Mahomedan levies, saw his only resource lay in a
concentration of his troops. His summons to Si:ere
Singh to join him was after some delay responded to.
Shere Singh issued a proclamation at Moulton, inviting
all .true Ss-ikhs to leave that city and join his standard to
rlght in a more worthy spot, indicating the nei4h-
hourhood of Lahore. This appeal was, according to
rumour, tolerably successful. .Moolrays larder appesr,d
to be consumptive, the prices of provision were thing
daily, and there was no chance of that pleasant arouse-
, went of sack and pillage, in which the true Seikh
takes reasonable delight. Horse and foot in cousquence
went with Shere Singh and after him; and others were
only kept behind with the now diminished force of
Muolraj from the knowledge that their families were in
his power and could net be extricated.
Moolraj, since this exode of Shere Singh, has kept
close to his entrenchments, and our reconnoitring par-
ties skir over the scenes of the recent conflict without
meeting an antagonist. The brigade under' General
Whish, in the highest spirits, are looking out for their
reinforcements vid Sinde (which will have joined them
ere this) to recommence hostile operations against the
city.
