RIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 11, IP4e

PORTUGAL.
tassa`g, MoNDAY, Nov. 30.—Colonel Wyide. who had
been staying for several days past at the Braganza Hotel
here, set eon the morning before last again for Sal- 1
danha's head-quarters at Cortex°, opposite Santarem,
to snake himself acquainted with the real position of
affairs. Military men doubt whether Santarem can be
effectively invested. with the G,500 men to which the
combined forces of Saldanha and Schwalbach amount.
12,000 would be requisite for a complete investment,
but, with the pontoons and a few gun-boats with which
Saldanha is provided on the Tagus, it seems possible
that the supplies may be cut off, and the town reduced.
The effects of the recent rain on the marshy ground
round Saratarem have made it very unfavourable for
military operations.
Colonel Fitch arrived here on Friday morning from
Madrid, with dispatches from Mr. Bulwer for Mr.
Soulhern. The gallant Colonel came by Elvas, Estre-
mos., Evora, and Montemor, and states the revolutionary
for' ,lesin the two latter places under Bomfim to be con-

sid erable.
'The Duke de Palmella, the Marquis de Nis:), and
some other members of the antisCabralist party, sailed
from here in the packet on Saturday for Cadiz, the Go-
vernment having intimated to them that their absence
from the country for some time would be advisable.
The harshness of this proceeding can be only justified
on the plea of state necessity, their presence here having
been interpreted as a standing encouragement to the
insurrection. It was even said that the Duke de Pal-
mella gas money to assist the revolt, but this is believed
to be a ealumny. By this " making of a solitude and
calling it peace," Lisbon is so weeded of everything in
the s'aape of a vigorous opposition, that even the voice
of criticism is silenced, except in the foreign press.
The divisions of Generals Casal and Vinhaes, aug-
mented by the accession of the 3d and 15th Regiments,
after the victory over Sada Bandeira, marched upon
Oporto, which they are probably investing at this
moment.
A telegraphic dispatch from Saldanha's head-
quarters announces the accession of two officers of
the 2d Regiment of Infantry, who had deserted from
Santexem.
On the night before the Madrid sailed for Cadiz the
Drake de Palmella slept on board the Hibernia (the great
resort of all our refugees), stating as the motive of his
-flight a dread of assassination, arising from the appear-
ance of some printed pasquinades, in which he was
greatly abused, and charged with aiding the insurrection
with money. His two sons-in-law, Alcacovas and Galvais,
went on board with him, and likewise accompanied him
to Cadiz—the fact being that they wished to escape from
serving in the volunteer battalions.
The Duke obtained a distinguiched reception from
Admiral Parker, and loudly protested his entire inno-
cence of the charges which had been laid at his door.
A rather strange letter has been written by the Duke
de Palmella to the Junta of Oporto, with the privity, it is
said, of Admiral Parker and Mr. Southern, in which ho
states, that having been ordered by the Queen to quit the
country, he had a request to make of their Excellencies,
which was to liberate the Duke de Terceira. He added,
that at the same time they might insist on the Duke de
Terceira's leaving the country until such period
as the cause may be decided. He concludes by
suggesting that this step would tend to gain the sym-
pathy of the British Government, " for the cause which
the junta has so nobly defended." We are assured upon
the very best authority that the letter contained this
latter phrase. As there is no doubt that this letter will
be conveyed to Oporto by the Cyclops, and forwarded
therefrom by the British authorities, we seem now en-
tirely committed as partisans of the popular party.
The only thing that is likely to prevent the junta from
acceding to this proposition is, that if they let the Duke
de Terceira escape them, they will be deprived of the
opportunity of making favourable terms for themselves
and friends, in the event of the civil war terminating in
a " transaction" either at Oporto or at Santarem, when
they could sell the life of the Duke against those of all
the heads of their party. The Duke de Palmella had
been frequently requested to write about the other
Duke to Oporto, and always refused until on board the
Hibernia. The Cyclops, which carries home this
letter, is at Colonel Wylde's orders, and will probably
make some stay at Oporto, on her way to England, to
try the effect of the latter to the junta in liberating the
Duke de Terceira. It is impossible to anticipate what
will be the result, but it appears not unlikely that the
junta may consent to the liberation, with a view to se-
curing, as they will interpret it, the entire support and
sympathy of England.
The Conde da Ribeira and the Marquis da Villada
have fled on board the Hibernia, alleging that there is
no safety for their persons at Lisbon. This dread is
merely imaginary. It is impossible to conceive a more
quiet or orderly state of things than prevails at Lisbon.
Both these gentlemen are Miguelites, and the Marquis
was one of the members of the late Coalition Electoral
Committee.
Senhor Pereira dos Reis, civil secretary to the Duke
de Terceira, as the Queen's lieutenant in the north, and
who was one of those imprisoned with the Duke, has
effected his escape to Vigo, where he performs good ser-
vices for the Lisbon Government in the capacity of
agent. The Spanish Government has been active in
rendering indirect assistance (within legitimate bounds)
to the Government of Donna Maria, by running the
Blasco de Garay steamer from Vigo to Lisbon twice
with news received through the Vigo agency which
could not have been otherwise transmitted, and with
some Portuguese officers and soldiers, who, declining to
participate in the revolt in the northern provinces, had
passed into Spain. But they have abstained from at-
tempting any direct intervention.
Mr. Bulwcr has obtained a pledge from Isturitz that
they will not intervene wit'anit the concurrence of cur
Government. There can be no doubt that, had tlie
Queen's troops here been once defeated, they would have
immediately intervened, but for this pledge, by starch-
ing their troops across the frontier into Portugal, and
the strong feeling of hostility between the two races
makes the idea of an armed Spanish intervention much
to be deprecated.
The blockade of Oporto has not been strictly kept,
and a few vessels have entered.
There is said to be great scarcity of provisions at San-
tarem, and when its investment shall be made tolerably,
complete by Saldanha on one side and Schwalbach on
the other, there is some hope here that the besieged will
be forced to surrender. This expectation is not, how-
ever, to be relied upon, though the following letter from
an officer in the army of operations shows that it is Sal-
danha's chief object:—
" It is impossible to describe to you the despair of the
troops upon the retirement of the rebels behind the walls
of Santarem. They had arrived full of joy, and yet
saw themselves forced to lose that opportunity of dis-
persing guerillas who have only words to attack the
Sovereign, but fly the moment that her faithful soldiers
approach. Our positions are, however, now firmly esta-
blished before Santarem. We know nothing of the
Marshal's plan, for he takes care not to let even those
that are nearest him into his secrets. But my belief is
that he does not wish to make victims by attacking San-
tarem, but to cut off the communications and reduce
them by want, which will take some time ; and for
this reason my belief is that we shall have some delay."
The principal danger for Das Antas is, that if he
should risk an action, his men are likely to desert him
as those of Sada, Bandeira. The Royalist army is well
supplied, a steamer going daily up the Tagus from
Lisbon to the nearest point with provisions, and the fresh
loan of 67,5001. by the bank gives life to everything.
The present aliment of both sides, however, is lies. Lis-
bon, which enjoys the greatest tranquillity, is said in the
rebel quarters to be uninhabitable through Chartist vio-
lence ; while the Royalists gut up forged letters, mis-
representing the state of their enemies, and describing
victories to which they are indebted only to their own
imagination. In the same way, to keep up the courage
of Das Antas's men, when the news arrived on Sunday
last of the total defeat of Sada Bandeira, Santarem
was illuminated at night to celebrate his glorious
victory.
Santarem is a strong place, and contains 8,000 inhabi-
tants. It is built on the Tagus, in the form of a
crescent, about 50 miles from Lisbon, and overlooks a
beautiful plain. Its walls are ancient, with numerous
modern additions. There are six gates and an old
citadel. Alfonso VI., two centuries back, added a poor
born-work, without curtain or outworks ; but as this
was the last place occupied by the Miguelites during the
late war, it was then strengthened with some additional
works, and now presents rather a formidable appearance.
Saldanha has his pontoons completed ; but I doubt not
that he will prefer completing its investment with the
assistance of Schwalbach, with the hope of forcing it to
surrender at discretion. In the Roman era it was
called
Prcesidium Juliunt ; it has frequently been besieged by
the Moors, and the plains before the town have beletn they
scene of repeated victories obtained over them.
the seat of the military order of Aviz, and has
often
s
been the residence of kings.
General Prim, the well-known Spanish refugee, has
arrived here by the steamer from Vigo. He is accom-
panied by a French aide-de-camp, who has been spread-
ing all kinds of ridiculously false reports, with the
accustomed volubility of firebrand Frenchmen; and the
consequence is, that both will be immediately obliged to
depart.
The Queen, by royal decree, deprives Don Fernando
Botelho, son of Count Villareal, of his succession to the
title, in consequence of bis having joined the present
rebellion. She also deprives Viscount Bretiandos of his
title, and Luiz da Sousa Mousinho de Albuquerque,
late Minister and Colonel of Engineers, and several
other officers, of their titles and decorations.
The Government exhibits increased rigour in
forcing all who are in a condition to servo to enter the
volunteer battalions. Many domestic servants have
this week been apprehended, and forced to enrol them-
selves.

CLOSE OF THE MAIL.
A further telegraphic dispatch was yesterday received,
by which we learn that an officer and two corporals of
the 2d Cagadores had presented themselves yesterday
(in addition to the two officers the day before).
Saldanha's fame as a general is at stake. He has
now been nearly three weeks before Santarem without
doin; anything. His policy has possibly been a sound
one, in waiting long enough to produce demoralization
and desertion in Das Antas's force. But, if we are to
believe him, these have set in already, and the time has
now arrived for striking a vigorous blow. If he does not
gain en early victory, I think it probable that operations
will have to be suspended for two or three months, be-
cause the rains will have reduced the plain around San-
tarem to a swamp, inwhich no troops can act. Saldanha
will, therefore, haveto
lookf to hia laurels, which younger
generals are disputingSchwalbach and Casal have
obtained successes wi;r Which he has shown nothing to
cope during the present campai n.
Colo; el Fitch's degeri g
ption of the operations in
Alemtejo, of which he has seen a portion with his
own
eyes, would lead to the conclusion that the generals,
in true Portuguese fashion, are merely playing at
soldiers.

ST. PETERSBURGII, Nov. 29 Archduke Con.
stantine has again for some d ays joined the Imperial
Court, which was at Gatschil la for a fortnight, but is
now again at Zarakogi-Selo. It is hoped that at the end
of this week the Imperial Pamily will come to the ca-
pital for the winter. It is true that there are enough
amusements going on to foitertain the people, bat the
moans for enjoying them are very much restricted, in
consequence of the great want of ready money, and the
exorbitant rise of the price of provisions. Four theatres
and two foreign eques,trian companies give our people
daily amusement. Another object of great attraction is
the Depot for goods, Imanufactured in Moscow, an exhi-
bition which show the immense progress which Russian
manufactures hrve made in this town. Public tran-
quillity has been much disturbed within the last few
weeks, by several murders which have been committed.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 18.—We have not received
any further authentic intelligence from the theatre of
the fearful massacre of the Nestorians Christians by
Bedorhan Bey, though some Europeans here affirm that
they have heard from the scene of destruction, and that
the devastation extended to two villages only, which are
lying in ruins, covered with snow ; that the renegade
Omer Pacha has been raised to the rank of General,
and that it is thought he will be sent against Bednhan.
This would be well, though even now too late ; but if
the intended campaign which the journal of Con-
stantinople attributes to the Porte not much zeal and
energy will be displayed. Before that time Bednham
will, in all probability, make use of the interventions of
some wise negotiator, of whom we have so many here ;
and will, very humbly, ask pardon of the Porte, pro-
mising at the same time that he will in future conscien-
tiously abstain from murdering any more Nestorian
Christians—a most needful promise, since in truth there
are not many more Nestorians whom he can murder.
And what answer could the Divan make to the penitent
confessions of its contrite and reformed vassal, but very
quietly close only one eye, raise the other to the moun-
tain land of Dschisire, and graciously pardon the good
mussulman. Nevertheless, it was rather hard for the
poor Nestorians that they were located exactly in that
part of the country which belonged to the Sublime Porte,
that they had no power of arresting their bloody mas-
sacre, and no power of punishing it.
The cholera is decreasing perceptibly in Tunis. The
affair of Alirza Takkishan'has come to a conclusion, as

far as the case can be done at Erzeroum. The agreement
which has been made, is, however, to be laid bfore the

The consular agent of the Netherlands, at Scio, has
just transmitted to the Consul-General at Smyrna an
account of a fresh eet of piracy to be added to the many
others of the same kind which we have lately had occa-
sion to record.
Last night the manufactory of chemicals of Messrs.
Doinmer and Co. was destroyed by fire. The causes of
the accident are not known, but it is believed that a
camphor magazine was accidentally set on fire. A re-
port reached us yesterday from one of our correspon-
dents, which appeared to us so improbable that we took
no notice of it ; hut as it has been mentioned by two
other papers, we now insert it. This report is, that the
innocence of the Chaplain Gepkens, who was condemned
to death at Arnhein, for the murder of Mr. Weigerink,
has been proved, b) the real criminal having delivered
himself up to justice. It is probable that the report has
no other foundation than what has occurred at Groen-
loweth, a p-rson, who appears not to enjoy the full use
of his mental faculties. The Tud— North Holland Con-
rant, again refers to a report from its correspondent
at Batavia, which it published some time ago, and which
we copied, which asserts that the East India Govern-
! men t, with Dieponlegnro, had engaged to oppose, by all
means in its power, the propagation of Christianity.
The Ty/ sees a confirmation of this strange report in
various circumstances, particularly in the total silence
of the Government.

Petersburgh:
Seven Polish emigrants, implicated in the revolution
of 1830, were lately allowed to return to Poland, on
which occasion the confiscation of their property was
removed, and the sentence of civil death annulled. It
is believed that these persons have, by some means or
other, rendered some service to the Cabinet of

St. Petemburgh, and it is recollected that it was
Russia which was first informed of the late Polish
conspiracy. This gives ground to infer what kind of
service they performed. On the other hand, a participa-
tor in the revolution of 1830 is just now condemned to
the confiscation of his property. The proceedings
against the prisoners implicated in the last conspiracy
who are here confined in the citadel, is not yet begun.
The directions of this investigation is in the hands of the
Council of War, which proceeds with extreme rigour,
and has passed three sentences of death, without pardon;
three sentences of death, with rardon at the moment of
execution— A. ith banishment and confiscation of property;
" one sentence of running the gauntlet."

THE HAGUE, DEC. B.—Yesterday the 7th of Decem-
ber being the anniversary of his Majesty's birthday, it
was celebrated as usual by the inhabitants of this city,
but the joy which the return of the day generally in-
spires was damped by a report of his Majesty's indispo-
sition. Overflowing congregations filled all the churches,
and never perhaps were more fervent prayers offered up
than on this occasion for the preservation of the life of a
sovereign so kistly dear to his subjects. We are happy,
however, to state that his Majesty's indisposition is by
no means of an alarming character, and did not prevent
him from dining yesterday with his family as usual.
The raw and the unfavourable weather which prevailed
all day yesterday, rendered it necessary to countermand
the grand review of the troops of the garrison, but on
the evening in spite of the rain great crowds repaired to

nated with gas. The public offices and hotels of the Fo•
reign Ambassadors, and a great number of private:houses,
were handsomely illuminated. On the occasion of his
birthday, his Majesty has made numerous appointments
and promotions.

The lecturer intends to choose for his subject agricul-
, Luta chemistry. It is hoped that ull persons who take
an interest in the promotion of agriculture will not fail
to take advantage of these lectures.
With respect to the occurrences at Cracow, it is in-
teresting to recollect the remarkable language of the
Northern Courts at tho conferences in London, where
the Belgian question was treated of, and which are re-
corded on the 19th protest, dated the 19th February.

At the opening of the sitting the Minister of Finance

second for prolonging indefinitely the law. which exempts
from the same duties salt intended for agricultural
purposes.
M. Bouckere delivered his report on the budget of the

Since the measure adopted by the Brussels police to
hinder beggars from entering the capital, the number of
these unfortunate people arrested in other places of the
district, as well as in the streets of the city, has consi-
derably decreased. As for the legality of this measure,
which some persons have doubted, it is evident that the
police may, and ought to, take measures to prevent indi-
viduals from coming into our city who do so with the
fixed design of following the trade of mendicity, as to
which it seems rather to have acted within the limits of
its duties than to have exceeded them.

THE WAR BETWEEN the UNITED
STATES and MEXICO.
During a war, policy and strategy go hand in hand,
and hold in common the management of the operations.
No resolution, exercising a decisive influence on the fate
of the war, can be taken unless both have their share in
it ; and thus we can speak of a political and a military
half of the war, which, however, can in no way be taken
to imply that they are diverse from one another ; on
the contrary, they are most closely interwoven in every
direction, and at every moment. But this does not pre-
clude there being a political and military point of view
from which every war can, and must, be regarded, parti-
cularly if a comprehensive and correct, not a partial,
estimate is to be formed. This can only be obtained by
a consideration of both points, because, as we have said,
policy and strategy in war :cannot bo separated ; or, in
in other words, because the threads which in the strate-
getical part often appear in inextricable confusion, have
their ends in the political part, and rice versa.
If then, in the following remarks we attempt to pro-
nounce a military judgment on the war waging by the
United States against Mexico, we must preface that we
shall not be guided by military views alone. The ne-
cessity of including the political relations in the motives
of such a judgment appears, perhaps, nowhere with
greater force than in an examination of the opening of
the campaign in question. In a military point of view
it can in no way be termed brilliant, as well as regards
one party as the other ; nay, more, it was erroneous,
and most on the American side. The frontier, towards
the enemy, was stripped of troops, the army essentially
on a peace footing, and only augmented by a few regi-
ments, the preparations for raising the new levies not
completed, and no step taken for their actual execution
All these, in a military point of view, were most un-
favourable circumstances, and, strategetically considered,
must have forbidden the opening of the war, had not
policy prevented totally opposite chances. That the
latter preponderated, was the result of a correct estimate
of their importance, and of a knowledge of the strength
of the Union as opposed to Mexico. Nevertheless, it
must be allowed that, in the beginning of the war, the
initiative belonged to this latter ; that, in consequence,
the war might possibly have been commenced by a de-
feat of the Americans, which perhaps would have been
followed by a more decisive political one also. We may
even assert that it must have been so, if the Mexicans
had known better how to avail themselves of their advan-
tages. The approaching explanations, which we may
expect will be made about this war, will show what
errors were committed, at first on the Mexican side ;
that they were committed, is not only certain, but that
they were important. Had this not been the case,
General Taylor must have been annihilated at the very
commencement of hostilities. The Mexicans, however,
whether owing to physical inferiority or erroneous
tactics, allowed General Taylor to extricate himself
from his ill-chosen position, and thus lost their best
chance. A comparison has frequently been drawn be-
tween the expedition of the American army and the
Russian campaign of 1812 ; the circumstances, however,
are totally different, the Russians in the latter case being
the weakest in the beginning of the campaign, while
on the retreat of the enemy they knew they could reckon
on an important accession of force. The Mexicans, on
the contrary, during the whole of the first period of the
campaign, were the strongest, and therefore had the
initiative. On the American side, their chief error was
allowing themselves to be seduced, by a few slight suc-
cesses, from the north, on to a line of operations be-
yond the Rio Grande del Norte, Monterey, and Saltillo,
to the city of Mexico, when, having the undisputed
command of the Gulf of Mexico, through their fleet,
their proper basis of operation was there, with the view
of capturing their capital, which would at once have
given them possession of the country. The distance
from Tampico or Vera Cruz to Mexico is only 300 miles,
while from the basis of the American land operations,
through Monterey and Saltillo, it is over 700 miles. The
plan adopted by General Taylor as the principle of the
campaign seems to have been to employ the Rio Grande
as the basis of operation, whence the fortifications he has
erected along the course of that stream, and the 10,000
men left there by him, as a sort of reserve, on his
march to Monterey. The expedition of General
Kearney may also be brought in connexion with this
plan, he having marched on this river, and, as the best
criterion of a strong basis is a great extension, he there-
by strengthened General Taylor's basis of operations.
In this expedition, however, the consideration prepon-
derated that Santa Fe, which Kearney chose as the
object of his operations, is the centre of Mexican power
in the North, and, in the position of New Mexico, be-
tween the Arkansas territory and New California, its
capture by the North Americans must be the first step
to the occupction of the latter State, the possession of
which, as is acknowledged, was the 'primary object of
the war. The eight weeks' armistice granted to Am-
podia by General Taylor was another error, though pro-
bably owing to the latter's ignorarce of the real forces of
Santa Anna in the south and Armijo in the north. This
error, was the greater as it allowed the enemy time to
recover from the effects of the defeat they had sustained
at Monterey. With regard to the basis of operations in
the Gulf of Mexico, the first thing that ought to be
done is the capture of Vera Cruz, or Tampico. The
former will probably be considered too strong to afford
any prospect of success to the American fleet, destitute
as the latter at present is of line-of-battle ships—a defi-
ciency that is, however, about to be remedied, by the
equipment of the Ohio, 84 ; but as this ship is still in
duck, we may regard the attack on Vera Cruz as indefi-
nitely postponed, if it is to await the arrival of that
vessel. It must then be assumed that the Americans
will first capture Tampico, and then besiege Vera Cruz
by land and sea—a plan that presents the fewer difficul-
ties, inasmuch as from the slow progress of the raising
of Santa Anna's army, stated at 30,000 men, the Mexi-
can General will most likely await the Americans in the
plains of Anahuac, which, as soon as Vera Cruz and
Tampico are in the hands of the Americans, will be the
scene of further operations—Augsburg Gazette.

STRANGE INCIDENT-A FOUND

On Tuesday week a woman, of rather lady-like
ap-
pearance, called at a large wholesale and retail ware-
' house in this city, and after making some trifling pur-
chases, requested permission to leave, for a few mi-
nutes, a rather large basket which she carried in her
hand, as she had " another call to make." Some time
having elapsed without the woman re-appearing, the
attention of one of the young men was called to the
article in que:•tion by observing, as he fancied, some-
thing moving insider On farther examination, its con-
tents were found to be nothing less than a fine thriving
babe, with the following words labelled on its breast :
—" Be kind to it. Its father is in the warehouse!"—
This astounding discovery produced of course, a general
sensation, much titillation, a good deal sjf bantering, and
not a little sly scrutiny as to which of all the young
men blushed deepest. Not one, however, of the one
hundred and fifty—for they amounted to no smaller a
number—had the candour, like Mrs. Malaprop in her
love for Sir Lucius, to " own the soft impeachment !"
In this dilemma, one of the partners of the firm resolved
to follow the example of the renowned philomath Doctor
O'Toole, who, when unable to detect a delinquent, uni-
formly took the sure plan of thrashing all the boys in
the school ! In other words, he proposed that every
man in the establishment should be mulcted in a penny
a-week for the support of their interesting " charge ;"
and, accordingly, the unconscious little hero or heroine
of this curious story, has been carefully put out to nurse
with the prospect of being well looked after. The progress
of the infant will no doubt be watched with as much
anxiety as that of the junior Dombey himself ; and if it
turn out to have red hair, or a nose more than ordinarily
snub, or any other marked peculiarity of person, how
great will be the consternation in the breast of every
unfortunate possessor of similar characteristics among
its one hundred and fifty foster-fathers ! In the mean-
time, the latter will be particularly careful how they
take in any more queer-looking baskets, lest the esta-
blishment with which they are connected should be
transformed into another L'Hospitaldes Enfans Trouves.

LORD DUNDONALD'S WAR PLAN.—The scientific
commission appointed to examine and decide on the
merits of his Lordship's-discovery, is occupied with the
investigation of its principle, which neither trenches on
that of Captain Warner, nor on the ingenious invention
termed gun cotton, but is, in regards the latter, of a
totally different nature. Cotton explodes instantaneously,
like the galvanic spark, whereas his Lordship's discovery
effects a continuous evolution of intensely powerful
elastic products—like the unremitting generation of steam
from boiling water, the effect of which has been ren-
dered familiar to the public by the steam gun (or tube)
of the ingenious Mr. Perkins, from which a stream of
shot, following each other in close succession, pass
through the atmosphere with less opposition, and conse-
quently transport their overwhelming effect to a greater
distance than shells, or shot propelled singly from artil-

ELOPEMENT.—A young lady left the residence of
her respectable friends in this town on Saturday night
last, by the mail train, accompanied by her waiting-

Plough Hotel, not in the arms of her lover, but in those
of the drowsy god, to whose resistless influence the
fatigue of her journey and its incidental emotions had
compelled her to resign herself. She was brought home
on Sunday. The young lady is in her 17th year, and
will be entitled to considerable property. Being a ward
in Chancery, the favoured gallant, for whose sake she
adopted her indiscreet journey, would eventually have
found the object of his adoration costly for the offered

An opinion prevails that a pawnbroker, receiving
an article in pledge which has been stolen, can demand
from the owner the repayment of money he has ad-

pledged. This is a mistake, as will be seen on reference
to the 39th and 40th George 111., cap. 99, sec. 13, which
enacts that when goods are unlawfully pawned, the pawn-
broker is to restore them, without any mention of com-

that Mrs. Trollope, in the new work announced for im-

of that order in this country in positions far from cre-
ditable to them. It is even said that the Superior of
the Jesuits in England has received particular instruc-
tions from Rome relative to this work; and from all that
has been suffered to transpire, we are led to anticipate
some revelations not less exciting than those which at-
tracted so much attention in the popular work, known

The friends of Mr. George Clarke, the last and
only remaining one of the Brighton Coach Proprietors,
invited him to a dinner on Tuesday at the Pavilion Hotel.
In the absence of Mr. George Wigney through indispo-
sition, the chair was taken by Mr. J. H. Mills; and the
llon. Mr. Stewart did Mr. Clarke the honour of taking
the vice-chair. A sumptuous dinner was put on the
table by Mr. Seaward; and his wines were excellent.
On the removal of the
cloth " The Queen," and other
loyal toasts were given. The Chairman then produced
a very handsome silver cigar-case, and, after a few brief
but appropriate remarks, presented the case to Mr.
Clarke as a testimony of respect for his uniform polite-
ness and attention to his passengers, as a Brighton
Coach Proprietor. The case bears the followinginscrip-
tion :—" Presented by his friends at a dinner given to
Mr. George Clarke as a mark of esteem, he being the
only proprietor and coachman now left on the Brighton
and '
London road, Dec. Bth, 1846." Mr. Clarke, on re-
ceiving the case from the hands of Mr. Mills, acknow-
ledged the compliment in a neat, well delivered address.
The company passed a very pleasant evening, Mr.
Clarke filling his cigar-case over and over again with
' some of the best Ilavannahs which he liberally distri-
buted among his friends. We remember the time when
no fewer than twenty-seven coaches left this town for
London daily, the same number coming into Brighton
from London; but since the opening
of the railway, that
number has dwindled down to one,—and this London
coach is the only stage•coach to be seen in Brighton at
the present time.

ACCIDENT raom GUN COTTON.—Yesterday after-
noon, a youth, named John Smead, an apprentice to Mr.
Yardley, a working chemist, residing in Compton•street,

plate before the fire, when it exploded. The lad was
stooping over it to turn it at the time, consequently ho
received the full force of the explosion in his face, which
threw him violently to the ground. He was for a length
of time insensible, and, if he survives, ho will be dis-
figured for life.

LONDON and NORTH-WESTERN
' RAILWAY COMPANY.
A special general meeting of the proprietors of the
London and North-Western Railway was held yesterday
afternoon, at the Euston-square station, for the purpose
of considering the expediency of leasing the Shropshire
Union Railways and Canal, of purchasing the Dunsta-
ble Railway, and of leasing the Scottish Central Rail-
way, in conjunction with the Caledonian and Lancaster
and Carlisle Railway Companies. Mr. George Carr
Glyn, chairman of the board of directors, in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said he was glad the meeting gave
him an opportunity of explaining and removing the
doubts which seemed to prevail in reference to the amal-
gamating which had been going on in the county. It
was well known that he had always been an advocate
for sound management and the due and proper observ-
ance of the rights of territory. Hitherto the tributaries
and branches of the railway system had originated with
private companies; but when their Acts were obtained
their tributaries and branches had been invariably,
handed over, on lease and purchase, to the larger com-
pany whose districts they intersected. It was for the
purpose of carrying out that principle that the present
meeting had been called together. A good deal of mis-
apprehension prevailed upon the subject of the
liabilities of this company, for at the present
moment they were practicably not liable for one
single guarantee whatever—he meant not practicably
liable so far as the interest of the company was con-
cerned. The only guarantee the company was liable
for was the guarantee to the North Union Company,
whose line was held jointly with the Manchester and
Leeds Company ; but, in point of fact, there was ao
liability involved in the guarantee, because the traffic of
the line returned considerably more than 10 per cent.,
the guaranteed interest—the guarantee of 5 per cent. to
the Coventry and Nuneaton Company, which, if the line
could be transferred to a private individual, would not be
considered an unprofitable speculation; the guarantee
to the London and Birmingham Canal Company, the
traffic of which also returned more than the amount
guaranteed, and the guarantees to the Bedford and
Buckinghamshire lines, which would prove of great ad-
vantage to their own line, because it opened
up a communication, he might say, from Norwich
in the East, to Oxford in the West. Those
were all the guarantees they were liable for at
present, but, as he said before, in point of fact, they were
not liable at all, because the lines themselves would all
return considerably more than the money guaranteed to
them. The liabilities he proposed they should enter
into now were based upon precisely the same principle.
The first was a guarantee of half the premium of their
own dividend and half the surplus profits
to the proprietors of the Shropshire Union
Railway and Canal, an extensire range of
line from Wolverhampton and Birmingham to Shrews-
bury and Wales. The capital of the company was con-
siderable ; it amounted to four millions six hundred
pounds, but the returns of the existing traffic were equally
great, and ultimately there could be no doubt it would
more than compensate them for the guarantee. The
second was for the purchase of a small line to
Dunstable, at the actual expense which had
already been incurred, and the third was for
a guarantee of 7 per cent. to the Scottish
Central Railway, but that guarantee was a joint one,
in conjunction with the Caledonian and Lancaster and
Carlisle Company, and they would only be liable for so
much of the guarantee as would be equal to the through
traffic that would flow upon their own immediate line,.
He concluded by moving a resolution affirming the
agreement for the lease of the Shropshire Union lines.
Mr. EyreviseE, M.P., said, while he admitted to a
certain extent the force of the principle with
which the Honourable Chairman set out, he could
not conceal from himself that the Hon. Chairman had
omitted from his category of liabilities the loans to the
Holyhead Company, and the positi n they occupied in
reference to the Manchester and Birmingham Company.
Had these liabilities been mentioned, the amount would
have been considerably augmented ; and, under these
circumstances, he objected to the liabilities it was pro-
posed they should now enter into, particularly the gua-
rantee to the Scottish Central Company.
Mr. Cassoer urged the directors in future to forward
to each proprietor the terms upon which it was proposed
to lease lines.
The CHAIRMAN replied that the estimate he made at
their last meeting of their future prospects included the
liabilities alluded to by the Honourable Member for
South Lancashire, and the details of those liabilities and
future prospects, which he could not make public,
were open to the proprietors. With regard to
the suggestion of the second Honourable Proprietor, ho
could only state that it would involve the sending out of
upwards of 10,000 circulars, and the directors, without
the authority of the shareholders, could not take upon
themselves the trouble and expense of such a proceeding.
The resolution was then put and carried unanimously,
as were also resolutions approving of the other two
agreements.
The CHAIRMAN then rose to explain the course
he had taken in reference to the Birmingham and
Oxford line. There were two distinct charges
preferred against him: one was, that in some way or
other he had interfered detrimentally to the settlement
of the negotiations for purchasing the line when it was
supposed to be disposed of; the second was, that he had
neglected making overtures of peace till the last hour—
in fact, that he waited till a cabal had been got up in
Lancashire upon the subject. Now, every one knew
that he was an advocate of peace, and to show that he
had long been so he need only allude to what occurred
last year. A negotiation was then opened for peace,
and Mr. Brunel and Mr. Carter met as the accredited
agents of the two companies, and arranged the terms, but
the Great Western, at the last moment, refused to
agree to them. Still he was opposed to warfare be-
tween the two companies, he considered it detrimental
to the interests of the public and the shareholders, and
only calculated to benefit the lawyers. Entertaining
these views, therefore, and knowing Mr. Russell per-
sonally, he again made overtures to bring about peace,
believing that where there was a will there was
a way, and the result was, that Mr. Russell de-
manded that he should consent to the ex
tension of the broad gauge from Fenny Compton
to Wolverhampton, but he particularly and unequivo
tally refused to give such consent. Subsequently, Mr.
Saunders and Mr. Swift wore appointed to negotiate as
the accredited agents of the two parties, and Mr.
Saunders, at the first meeting, again demanded that the
broad gauge should be conceded to the Great Western
Company, but Mr. Swift refused to agree to it. At a
subsequent meeting Mr. Swift proposed that the gauge
question should be left open, to be fought in the next
session; and now the negotiation seemed to be draw-
ing to a favourable close. A few hours afterwards, how-
ever, another meeting took place, and now Mr. Saunders
proposed that the gauge question should be referred to
the counsel of the Great Western Company, but Mr.
Swift refused to agree to it, but proposed that it should
be referred to the counsel of either company, or to the
newly constituted railway board. Mr. Saunders refused
both proposals, and the negotiation went off. Now, how
had he interfered to perpetuate the warfare that had
been going on? But he need net dwell further on that
point, because he had received a letter from
Mr. Russell since the meeting of Friday, in which
he withdrew the first charge. With regard to the
second charge, he would mention that the memorial
from the north did not reach his hands till
the 'Wednesday previous to the Great Western
meeting, and he wrote the letter which had been
so much commented upon in the hope of again laying
the foundation for peace. Had he felt inclined to take'
advantage of the cabal, he would have communicated
with the directors of the Birmingham and Oxford
line rather than the Great Western Company. He was
perfectly justified in proposing a joint lease, because it
was pretty notorious that the wants of the public were
increasing to such a degree that they required another
line. Now, would it not have been better that the
Birmingham and Oxford, and the Buckingham
lines should have been used to take off the
surplus traffic, rather than they should be put to the ex-
pense of laying down double rails? Viewed in that
light, he vtas quite convinced Parliament would have
sanctioned a joint lease, and he warned the Great Wes-
tern Company not to carry their principle of
competition too far. The only points opened to
the applicability of such a principle were to be found
in their own district. Still he was for peace, and he yet
hoped that ere long it would be come to.
Mr. CASSEN, who made the second charge against Mr.
Glyn, said that at all events the chairman must admit
that his letter was ill-timed.
Mr. ELLIS MOGLEY, of Liveilibol, explained the course
which he had taken upon the subject, and declared that
the question of the Birmingham and Oxford purchases
was not settled yet. Like their Honourable Chairman,
he was for peace, but if the Great Western were deter-
mined to test the powers of an unwholesome competi-
tien, why let them.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman,
and the meeting broke up.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
VICE-CHANCERY ( OURT, Dec. 10.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. WIGRAM.)
SUUTTLEWORTH V. BENGOUGII.

This was a bill filed for the purpose of determining
the claim of the plaintiff, who alleged to be entitled to
one-third part of two houses in Old Broad-street, in the
City. The defendant was the only surviving trustee of
the will of a Mr. Hussey, and the other defendants
are the parties who laid claim to the other two third
parts of the houses. It appeared that the testator by his
will, on the 7th of August, 1834, left two-thirds of the
property in question to his two daughters, Mrs. Mid-
dleton, and Jane, the wife of John Silver, the remainder
to go to the survivor, and after her demise to go to the
children as tenants in common. It was contended by
the defendants that the children of Mrs. Silver
were illegitimate, it and therefore disentitled thin
to any portion of the property in question ; in
support of which affidavits were produced to the effect
that Mrs. Silver left her husband (who was a jeweller,
carrying on business in Hatton-garden), with his ap-
prentice, and the children in question were the result
of that connexion, she having lived with this
person till the period of her death, in 1842. The
plaintiff had disposed of the share in the property, and
the party to whom the same had been disposed insti-
tuted the present proceedings.
The case for the plaintiff was opened to-day, and had
not concluded at the rising of the Court.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BEIVCH, Dec. 10.

THE DIRECT BIRMINGHAM, OXFORD, AND BRIGHTON

ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY.
JONES AND ANOTHER V. BLUNT AND OTHERS.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. John Risdale, clerk in the London Joint-stock
Bank Company, examined by Mr. PEARSON, proved ;hat
there was an account kept at that bank by the company.
The deposits received were about 8,0001.
Cross-examined—The date of the last deposit was the
3d of December. 3,500/. was transferred to the western
branch of the bank.

Mr. J. Peppercorn, of the Stock Exchange, proved
that the firm with which he was connected had pur-
chased a considerable number of shares in the company.
This was the plaintiff's case.
Mr. COCKBURN held that the declaration of the plain-
tiffs had net been proved, and raised an objection to the
right of the plaintiffs to dispose of the company before
the contract in question was made. Here was a provi-
sional committee without whose consent they had not
the power to dispose of the undertaking. They were
their joint partners. The agreement, besides, was not
binding, as it was not " executory." He held that the
plaintiffs must, therefore, be nonsuited.
Mr. PEACOCK followed on the same side.

Sir FREDERICK THESIGER replied, and held that the
plaintiffs were the proprietors or projectors of the scheme
until the 9th of October, and that they had a perfect,
right to dispose of it in the manner they did.
Mr. Justice ERLE considered that the promoters of a
railway had an undoubted property in their scheme
until they legally parted with it, but as consideration
had not been shown on the part of the plaintiffs for
their claim, they must be nonsulted with power to move
to have the verdict entered for them on a new trial.

The plaintiffs were accordingly nonsuited.
CONSPIRACY.-THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. JAMES

BUTTON AND OTHERS.

This was an indictment at the instance of Mr. Lewis,
an extensive dyer in Oxenden-street, Haymarket,
against the defendants, James Button, George
Button, his son, Thomas Corduroy, and William
Wellesford, for, conspiring together to defraud him.
James Button had been in the service of the prosecutor's
father and of the prosecutor himself for upwards of 3-1
years, and had been promoted from an apprentice to the
situation of foreman of the works, and lived rent-free on
the premises. The other defendants had also been a
long time in his service. Mr. Lewis allowed those
who were employed in his establishment to dye tbeii
clothes and those of their immediate relations, free
of expense. This privilege the defendants had
abused, as they bad carried on an extensive busi-
ness on their account for some time with a number of
persons, and for their own profit, and had con-
sequently defrauded the prosecutors of several
thousands of pounds. The goods they dyed
at the expense of the prosecutor in this
way mostly bore the initials of the defendants,
whose job it was. The defendants had all
pleaded not guilty, but Wellesford had retracted his
plea and pleaded guilty.
Sir F. Thesiger, with whom were Mr. Clarkson, Mr,
Peacock, and Mr. Ballantine, were for the prosecution;
and Mr. Sergeant Allen for the Buttons. Mr. Char-
neck was for Wellesford. Corduroy was undefended by
counsel.

A great deal of evidence was adduced on the part of
the prosecution, which showed that the Buttons parti-
cularly had carried on considerable business in the way
pointed out.
The case was adjourned.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 10.
BROUGHTON V. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.

Mr. Knowles and Mr. Warren appeared for the plain-
tiff, and Mr. Martin and Mr. James for the defendant.
The plaintiff was a clerk in the above-named com-
pany. In the beginning of the present year he was dis-
charged by the defendant, at a month's notice. The
present action was brought to recover a larger amount
of salary than that for one month, he being entitled
to receive a larger amount of notice than one month, in
consequence of the engagement made with him having
been an annual one.

On the part of the defendant it was contended, that
one month's notice was ample and sufficient, and a sum
of 91. 17s. 33. was accordingly paid into court; that the
general custom of railway companies was to give one
month's notice to the persons employed by them; and
further, that a resolution had been passed by the di-
rectors of the company, to the effect that all the person,
in the employ of the Eastern Counties Company
were to consider one month's notice as suffi-
cient. This resolution was passed in the year 1811,
but no proof was given that such a resolution was known
to exist by the employers of the company.
The LORD CHIEF BARON, in summing up, told the
jury that, in his opinion, the evidence of a general cus-
tom had not been sufficiently established ; and he
thought that the existence of the resolution re-
ferred to in the course of the proceeding was
certainly same evidence to set against the existence of a
general and well-known custom of that kind prevailing
among the servants of the company. Under these cir •
curnstances it would be for the jury to find their verdict
for the plaintiff, for the sum of 61. 13s. 4d., exclusive of
that paid iuto court, that being the amount claimed by
the plaintiff.
The jury accordingly returned a verdict in accordance
with the ruling of the Lord Chief Baron.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

A middle-aged man, of respectable appearance, of
dark complexion, with bushy black hair anti whiskers,
and of rather low stature, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Alderman Sidney, charged with several frauds upon
tavern•keepers aril confectioners in the City.
The prisoner, on appearing before the Magistrate, in-
dignantly refused to give his name or address, end
insisted that the complainant could only claim debt
against him, and protested against what he called the
illegal conduct of the inspector, in locking up a respect-
able man like him all night, in company with " bad
characters," in a station-house.
The ALDERMAN proceeded to hear the evidence
of Mr. Inglis, the confectioner, in St. Paul's Church
yard, corroborated by a young woman in his service,
that in the course of Wednesday the prisoner feasted
sumptuously at his house, upon mock turtle-soup and
other minor re:reshments, and was afterwards walking
off without payment, saying he had no money, and must
have credit for his cheer until some other day. This
not being aceeded to, he said boldly that the young
woman who waited on him in the first instance had
agreed to give him credit. But Mr. Inglis at length
gave him into custody, and money more than sufficient
to pay being found upon him, the charge of fraud was
eventually taken.
Mr. Bailey, of the Sun Tavern, Ludgate-hill, the pro-
prietor of the Goose and Gridiron, in the same neigh-
bourhood, and Mr. Goodwin Cannon, of the Punch Ta-
vern, 99, Fleet-street, recognised him as the perpetrator
of similar victimising feats upon themselves.

THE BODROU MARBLES IN THE BRITISH MU-

SEEl3l.—Oar national collection now contains what is
conjectured to have

mous sepulchre d a portion of one of " the
of Mausolus, King of Caria, at Petro-
Bodroum, and the ancient and cele-
nium, the modern
brated city. of Helicarnassus, in Asia Minor. The tomb
of Mausolus is stated to have been in existence so late
as the twelfth century ; indeed, it would appear that it
was only finally destroyed in the early part of the six-
teenth, for it is expressly stated by historians of the
period that the knights of Rhodes destroyed the edifice,
which they had opened up in the course of excavating
for materials to repair a fort at the entrance of the bar
bour. Portions of the sculptures were then removed
and built into the walls of the fort, and there they re-
mained till, through the exertions of our minister at
Constantinople, permission was obtained from the Sultan
to transfer them to this country. They were recently
brought to England, and are now deposited in the Brit-
ish Museum. They are in bas reliefs, and represent
that favourite subject of ancient myth, combats between
amazons and warrior's.

ATTEMPT TO ' BLOW UP THE
LADY FEVERSH AM.
NORTH SHIELDS, MONDAY.—An unsuccessful attempt
was made to-day to blow up the wreck of the Lady
Feversham, which has lain upwards of twelve months in
the main channel of the river Tyne, at this place, doing
serious injury to the harbour, and, by obstructing the
navigation, causing great damage to shipping, especially
during the prevalence of stormy weather. This vessel,
it may be remembered, was proceeding to sea, in the
month of Novansber, last year, coal laden, when she
grounded on a shoal forward, and heeled over as the tide
receded ; and, on the reflowing of the tide, she filled
with water ; since which all attempts to raise her have
been futile. The Universal Salvage Company (an off-
spring of the speculative mania of last autumn) first under-
took the task, by means of large bags, to be attached in a col-
lapsed state to chains passing round and underneath the
vessel, and then inflated by means of an air-pump worked
by a powerful engine. The buoyancy of the air-bags, it
was supposed, would raise the vessel, but after repeated
experiments, extending over several months, the project
was abandoned as hopeless. The wreck was' then %old
as it lay, to a party here, for 2501., and further attempts
were made under his direction, to raise it by means of
lighters, but this plan also proved a failure. In the
meantime complaints were made to the corporation of
Newcastle, who are Conservators of the T)ne, by the
owners and masters of vessels frequenting the harbour,
of inconvenience and damage arising from the wreck
obstructing the navigation of the river, and by pilots
and others, of a diminution of water in the bar from
silting up, attributed to the same cause, there being,
as is alleged, nearly two feet less depth of water on
the bar now than there was twelve months ago.
Under these circumstances the corporation, having af-
forded every facility to the parties in their various un-
successful attempts to raise the vessel, determined
to take the matter into their own hands, and blow the
wreck up by means of gunpader. This operation was
intrusted to Mr. Brooks, the resident engineer of the
corporation, and two parties accustomed to the diving-
bell were engaged and brought down from London to
perform the sub-marine works. The plan adopted was,
to drive four piles, two on each side of, and about ten
yards from, the vessel, and by means of these, a raft,
consisting of four logs of fir, 80 feet in length, was
moored directly over the vessel, extending from stern to
stern. On this raft were placed the main wires, which
were carried along seven other piles, to a galvanic bat-
tery in a craft moored about 80 fathoms from the
wreck. Ten tin cylinders, containing each from 1001 b.
to 1601 b. of gunpowder, were sent under the bilge
of the vessel fore and aft, five on the larboard and
five on the starboard side, and wires penetrating these
cylinders extended and were attached to the main wires
on the raft. The main wires, which were above the sur-
face of the water, were covered with cotton and India-
rubber varnish ; and those connecting them with the
magazines in the water had an additional coat of tar,
with an outer covering of list. The magazines would be
sunk to a depth of about 23 feet ; and they were affixed
to the vessel by means of single-sheaved blocks, having
rattling-lines rove thruugh them, which had been pre-
viously bolted to the vessel by the use of the diving ap-
paratus. This was the work of Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday in last week. For the simultaneous explo-
sion of the magazines there were three of Smee's
batteries, each having ten cells, with double plates of
zinc and platina, 6f inches by 5 inches ; and a fourth
battery of iron and zinc plates equal to 20 cells of
the zinc and platina ; and they were charged with sul-
phuric acid diluted in the proportion of six parts to one.
The whole of the galvanic apparatus was manufactured
expressly for the occasion by Mr. H. Watson, of New-
castle-upon-Tyne. The interest excited by these opera-
tions was general and intense. Upwards of 50,000
people were congregated on the high ground overlooking
the river on both sides ; a considerable proportion of
whom had come from Newcastle,. Sunderland, and vari-
ous other places in the neighbourhood, the intention of
the corporation to blow the vessel up having been an-
nounced by advertisement in the public prints. The
Mayor and the members of the Town Council had a
steamer engaged for their accommodation ; and several
other steamers were well frieghted, but they were not
allowed to approach within a considerable distance of
the wreck, so that those that occupied the river banks
had decidedly the best view. By ten o'clock, the water
having then nearly ebbed, the fixing of the wires was
commenced, and occupied upwards of an hour- Seven
of the canisters were run down to their berths, and se-
cured" there in less than half an hour. Owing to the
accidental fouling of the other ropes, a little delay oc-
curred in placing the remainder, the divers having to be
put in requisition. By one o'clock the whole was com-
pleted, and then the batteries were charged, a black flag
having been hoisted at the mainmast of the Lady Faver-
sham, to indicate that all was in readiness to effect her
destruction. The firing of a gun was the pre-arranged
signal for the explosion ; and that having been given,
the operator completed the galvanic circle, and a large
body of water rose at each end of the wreck to the
height of about tea feet. This effect being much less
than was anticipated, an examination was made, when
it was found that only two of the canisters had ex-
ploded, and that a third one had been torn away, the
others remaining precisely as they had been placed. The
cause of the failure is attributed to the coldness of the
day, and the inferior quality of the gunpowder, which
is supposed to have been also too damp, arising from the
canisters having been filled on board a hopper barge,
moored near the wreck, during a thick mizzling rain,
which prevailed at intervals during the morning. Some
fragments of the wreck were found floating on the sur-
face of the river after the explosion ; but if all had gone
off as was expected, the destruction of the vessel would
probably have been completed. The experiment will no
doubt be repeated in the course of a few days, when
probably a larger quantity of gunpowder will be used
than was on this occasion, owing to the state of alarm
into which many of the inhabitants of North and South
Shields were thrown by apprehensions of danger. All
the windows facing the water were thrown open at the
time of the explosion ; and many persons, it is said,
actually removed their furniture some days previously.
The river police, under the direction of Mr. Stephens,
were exceedingly active in keeping the way clear ; and
it is satisfactory to state that all passed off without an
accident to any one.
