COURT CIRCULAR.

OSBOR NE, TUESDAY.
Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince Albert took
their usual early walk in the grounds of Osborne.
His Royal Highness the Prince Albert, attended
by Colonel Bouverie and Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon.
C. Phipps, embarked on board the Fairy, at about ten
o'clock yesterday, and proceeded to Spithead; where
his Royal Highness minutely inspected a catamaran,
invented by Mr. Hely. This gentleman had come
out of Portsmouth in the catamaran, encountering a
very heavy swell,'and upon the Fairy stopping, came
alongside of the yacht. After explaining the construc-
tion of his invention, Mr. Hely directed sail to be set,
and the Fairy proceeded to Portsmouth.
His Royal Highness having directed the standard
not to be hoisted, no salutes were fired. The Prince
Albert went en board the Excellent, and minutely
examined the system of tuition pursued on board that
vessel. His Royal Highness visited the classes of
naval cadets, marine cadets, and the schools for sea-
men and boys.
The practice with the large guns and mortars was
afterwards shown by Captain Chads, which was most
successful, the balls frequently passing through the
targets.

All the different exercises with great guns, small
arms, boarding, and resisting boarders, were executed
in a manner which elicited the highest approbation of
his Royal Highness.

Admiral the Hon. Sir B. Capel, with Captain
Chads, received the Prince on board, otherwise the
visit of his Royal Highness was entirely private.
His Royal Highness, before leaving the ship, ex-
pressed to Captain Chads his entire satisfaction with
everything he had witnessed on board. Upon leaving
the vessel his Royal Highness was greeted by often-
repeated cheers from the officers and men.

Rear-Adrairal Prescott, --------e
Rev. T. Protheroe,
and Lieutenant-Colonel Phipps, had the honour of
juining the royal dinner party last night.

Mr. Henry G. Gordon, chairman of the Oriental
Bank, had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday.
Mr. Montgomery Martin and Captain Sturt had also
interviews yesterday with the Noble Earl, at the Co-
lonial. office.

Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from
he Colonial-office, for the Governors of Ceylon and
Malta.

The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat
yesterday. An appeal was heard from the Preroga-
tive Court, " Daniel /7. Nounse." The appellant ap-
peared in person, and Dr. Addams was heard for the
respondents.

-
It is stated from Hamburgh that the Finance de-
partment at Gottorff had issued a circular to the Go-
vernment authorities throughout the duchy of Schles-
wig-Holstein, to the effect that the certificates granted
by the Danish civil authorities to vessels clearing for
any ports in Denmark, or for goods conveyed to Danish
ports, are is be accepted as the legal authority fur their
respective admission.

Last night's Gazette contains an Order in Council
r atirying a scheme of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners
for substituting a money payment to the prebendary of
Welton Beekhall, in Lincoln Cathedral, in consideration
of the property of the prebend being vested hereafter in
the Commissioners.—The same Gazette also contains an

Order assigning a district for spiritual purposes to the
comccrated church of Bt. Mark, on Stapleford-common,
Cuckfield, Sussex.

KING FERDINAND 11. mid SICILY.
(From th Patric )
_

It is sufficient to be a little initiated in the study of
history, and to know what the Sicilian people have
suffered from the iniquitous dominion of the Bour-
bons, to be no longer in doubt that reason and right
are on
,the side of Sicily. In fact, what country in
Europe can boast of posessing more ancient institu-
tions ? Whilst all Europe was bending under the
yoke those very Norrnands, who, by conquering
England, destroyed all her franchises, endowed Sicily
with a constitution amazingly liberal for the epoch,
and those franchises far from being either abolished
or limited by the different dynasties which succeeded
to that of Roger, were not only respected but
developed and enlarged, to be finally exchanged in
1812 for one of the most liberal constitutions then
existing in Europe. The unenviable task of destroy-
ing the work of seven centuries was reserved for the
Bourbons. It was the grandfather of the present
King of Naples, who in 1816, that is to say, four
years after having sworn to observe it, suppressed the
Sicilian Constitution, probably, out of gratitude for
the immense sacrifice in lives and money made by
Sicily in order to assist him to remount the throne of
Naples But it was not enough for the Bourbons to
have deprived Sicily of her secular franchises, they
did not rest satisfied until they had inflicted upon
her the most degrading slavery, that kind of slavery,
which, by leaving behind it misery and brutality,
often enervates all moral strength in a people, and de-
prives them of the sense even of their misfortunes I
Nevertheless, Sicily, such was the vigour she still re-
tained! availed herself of all possible occasions so-
lemnly to protest, by conspiracy, and even by rising
en masse, against the more odious oppression, and the
royal vengeance, which never failed to crush her in
the most atrocious manner at each time that fortune
betrayed her endeavours, did but add fresh fuel to her
hatred, and more than ever strengthen her determi-
nation to emancipate herself at all costs and perils
from the dominion of the Bourbons. Thence the in-
surrection of the 12th of January, and the Bill of
Forfeiture of the 13th of April, 1848. The subse-
quent acts of the King of Naples, and principally the
bombardment and taking of Messina, have rendered
still more impossible all reconciliation between the
two dissenting parties.

This is the real position of Sicily, and the mediating
Powers ought fully to have comprehended it before
entering into negotiations. We grieve to have to
say that their conduct till now has been anything but
praiseworthy, because they have allowed the expedi-
tion against Messina to take place, after having
almost recognised the independence of Sicily, by
ordering their fleet to salute the Sicilian
flag when the new King (the son of Charles Albert)
was proclaimed. These Powers only imposed the
suspension of hostilities after torrents of blood had
been shed on both sides, and when it was no longer
possible to come to terms. Oh, no; there must be
no mistake ; neither peace nor any treaty whatever
can be expected between the Sicilians and the King
of Naples ; and Ferdinand himself, were he enabled
once more to subdue Sicily, could only keep it by
quartering in it the one-half of his army, which would
end by ruining both countries. This state of things
would indefinitely prolong the disasters of the Italian
cause, which, in order to triumph over Austria,
stands in need of the concurrence of all the forces of
the nation. It is well known that the Two Sicilies
compose the third of Italy, and their military re-
sources are of the greatest importance.
We must consequently consider the Sicilian war as
a doubly impious war, for the hatred which is thus
kept up between two sister countries, and by the
powerful aid which it is detracting from the great
national cause. In order better to eulogise this last
subject, we shall offer some details on the military
forces of the kingdom of Naples.
According to the system of recruiting in
force in this part of the Peninsula, the citi-
zens obliged to enter the army must re-
main in the military service for the space of ten
years ; the half of this time is passed in active ser-
vice, and the other half; in what the French call
disponibilite, that is to say, they return to their homes
whence they are liable to be re-called to the ranks
at a moment's notice. And by this means, it is not
only possible, but very easy, to double in a few days
the effective of the army. This case is realised at the
present moment, since, instead of forty thousand men,
of whom, in ordinary times, the Neapolitan army is
composed (without reckoning the four Swiss regi-
ments), this army musters, in round numbers, eighty
thousand men, an enormous number for a country
which has but six millions of inhabitants, and the
finances of w hich are in the most deplorable state,
thanks to the detestable administration of the
Bourbons ever since 1821.

The Neapolitan army is composed of three regi-
ments of infantry of the guard, two of which are
grenadiers, and the other of riflemen ; of thirteen regi-
ments of infantry of the line ; seven battalions of
light infantry, a corps of marines, and a battalion of
heavy artillery, a regiment of engineers, two regi-
ments of artillery, a regiment of veteran non-com-
missioned officers;, seven regiments of cavalry,
both of the guard and of the line, and
two squadrons of horse artillery besides the waggon
train, and from seven to eight thousand gendarmes
disguised—the mounted under the name of carabi-
niers, the foot under the name of guard of security
(guardia di sicurezza). Each regiment is composed
of two battalions, or four squadrons, independently
of its reserve, and these battalions and squadrons are
fully complete. Moreover, the cavalry is well
mounted, and the ordnance department is consider-
able ; whilst the drilling, the steadiness, and the
discipline of the army leave nothing to wish for.
With respect to its bravery, we have only to mention
the brilliant conduct of the Neapolitan soldiers who
remained in Venice with General Pepe (last August);
but, above all, that of the 10th of the line, which
mustered 1,200 men at its departure from Naples in
the month of April, and returned there three months
afterwards with a loss of 450, who gloriously fell in
Lombardy, so as to palliate and atone beforehand for
the excesses committed by other soldiers of Ferdinand,
in the fratricidal conflicts with Sicily.
The royal navy of the kingdom of Naples is also
very considerable, and it could by itself keep
in check all the maritime forces of Austria.
It is composed of one ship of the line, five
frigates, a great number of smaller vessels, and
more than twenty-five armed steamers. No other
power of the second order has ever been able until
now to maintain such a naval force.
Such are the maritime forces of Naples. Let us
hope, that instead of continuing to be the instruments
of Ferdinand against the spread of liberty, or under-
taking a ridiculous crusade in the name of the Pope,
these Neapolitan troops will ere long be driven by
public opinion in Italy to participate themselves also
in the holy war of independence.

NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
A very limited supply of English Wheat having come
to hand for our market since Monday, the show of sam-
ples of that grain this morning was very moderate;
nevertheless, the demand for all descriptions was in a
very inactive state, at barely the depressions noticed in
the quotations on last market day. The best parcels of
Foreign Wheat moved off steadily at full prices. In the
middling and out-of-condition sorts scarcely any busi-
ness was transacted. The supply of Barley was on the
increase. Malting parcels were quite as dear, but grind-
ing and distilling sorts were neglects d. For Malt the
demand was extremely depressed, at barely stationary
prices. There was un improved demand for all kind of
oats, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, last week's
currencies. In Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Meal, next
to nothing was doing. The Flour trade was dull, and
country markets were ( &ring on somewhat easier terms.

The demand for the best New Hops is tolerably

large. New Hops:—Sussex pockets, 2110 s to 31 ss;

Although our market, to-day, was somewhat heavily
supplied with each kind of Meat, the general demand
was steady, at very full prices. Beef, from 2s 6d to
3s 8d ; Mutton, 3s 6d to 4s 6d; Veal, 4s to 4s 8d; and
Pork, 3s 10d to 43 10d per 81bs by the carcase.

FATAL EXCESS.—An inquest was held yesterday
week, at Iletton-le-Hole, on view of the body of William
Christie, a pitman. It appeared that the deceased and
several others were at a public-house in Hetton.le-Hole,
kept by Mr. Joseph Hall. Whilst there, the deceased
offered to think with any of the company, the first drunk
to " pay the reckoning." His offer was accepted by a
man named John Dawson, and a bottle of rum was called
for. The landlord was appointed to fill a wine-glass for
the deceased, and another man to do the same office for
Dawson. They drank glass for glass without any water
being used till the first bottle was finished. A second
bottle was called for and furnished, and this nearly drank
in the same manner. The deceased then, as may be
supposed, became very drunk and unable to speak dis-
tinctly, and fell asleepin the parloar. On going home
his wife sent for medical assistance, and Mr. Bustin
attended him on the following morning, and continued
to do so until his death, which took place on the follow-
ing Wednesday, from congestion of the lungs and brain,
caused by drinking the ardent spirits to such an excess.
The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the evi-
dence of the medical gentleman, and addel they could
not too strongly reprehend the conduct of the landlord,
Joseph Ilall, for allowing spirits' to be drunk to such ex-
cess by individuals in his house.—Newcastle Journal.
We hear that Mr. Baines, Q.C., will succeed the
late lamented Charles Buller at the head of the Poor-law
Board.

The concert of this very talented young lady took
place last evening at the London Tavern, and, as we had
anticipated, the room was crowded. Miss Julia Bleadon
made a most favourable impression on her auditors.
Her voice is a soprano of considerable power
and compass, and of much flexibility and
sweetness, and it has been highly cultivated. In Mar-
liani's celebrated cavatina " Stanca di Pin," she had an
opportunity of exhibiting the extent and compass of her
voice, of which she knew well how to avail herself. We
have never heard this cavatina better rendered. In
her duet with Miss Rainforth, and in her trio with
Miss Rainforth and Miss Rowland, she was
admirable; and in the second part she sung a ballad by
Stephen Glover with great taste and sweetness. We
congratulate Mr. Howard Glover on the great suc-
cess achieved by his pupil last night. It re-
flects infinite credit on her preceptor. In
the course of the evening Mrs. Glover recited
Dryden's ode of " Alexander's Feast" as she alone
can recite it. To hear Mrs. Glover recite this sublime
lyric is a treat to which we are not often ac-
customed. We would recommend the conductors of
concerts to consider whether it would not re-
lieve the monotony of these reunions, if recitals
from some of our best poets were occasionally
introduced. Judging from the experience of last
night, the experiment would be most successful.
Mr. Gerhard Taylor gave us a fantasia on the
harp, and Miss J. Tayl: r (who possesses one of
the richest, and fullest, and most gushing of con-
tralto voices) sang the " Non pia niesta " in most
admirable 5131 e. This young lady bids fair to become.
one of the fir: t contralto singers of the day. Miss Rain-
forth, Mr. .%llen, and a host of oWer talent, also as-
fisted at :his en o of the most delightful concerts a e
have ever attended.

CHRONICLE.—What epitaph shall we write on the
tomb of United Germany? For unless present appear-
ances deceive us, the hopeful scheme, which has been
struggling into existence during the last nine months, is
already seized with the pangs of a premature dissolu-
tion. Prepare the pall, summon the mourners, toll the
great bell of that ancient cathedral pile which has wit-
nessed the coronation of a long line of Imperial poten-
tates! The spirit of German unity is passing away.
Ever since the Germans of Austria declared against an
organic union with their ywestern kinsmen, it bas been
manifest that the realization of the orignal scheme, in
the perfect form and stately proportions which it had
assumed in the hands of Dahlmann and his coadjutors,
had ceased to be within the sphere of possibility. As
we have before observed, the step was, in our opinion,
one imperatively dictated by a just appreciation of
position and resources of the Austrian Empire.
Austria has a vital principle distinct from that
which animates Germany, and she requires an in-
dependent corporeal organization; and the attempt
to link together the two bodies with an inorganic,
yet indissoluble, ligament, could never have been
crowned with lasting success. New Austria and New
Germany might have sprung into existence as the Sia-
mese twins of the European family, but they could not
long have maintained so inconvenient a connexion. In-
evitable as it was, however, the secession of Austria has
hastened the crisis which we long ago foresaw. Her
name, whilst she continued to mix in the federal councils
cheered the heart of many an honest South German, who
regarded the successor of the Cle3ars as the natural head
of the Teuton race, and lulled the misgivings of many
more, who hoped, by keeping the system in equilibrium
through the reciprocal agency of the two great Powers,
to preserve a substantive independence for their own
local Governments. Her retirement changes altogether
the aspect of the case. Eliminate
Austria and it would
be idle to imagine that, if Prussia is to remain Prussia
still, any adjustment of the system, however ingenious,
any combination, however skilfully contrived, of the
lesser Powers, could supply an effectual counterpoise to
the preponderating weight of that greati kingdom. The
question reduces itself to this—will trermany consent to
be Prussianized, in consideration of the grandeur and
elevation to which she may .aspire when clothed with the
vast military resources which Prussia can place at her
disposal? This change of circumstances necessitates, of
course, a corresponding change in the personnel of the
0-ntral Government. The Austrian Minister, who was
the soul of the Archduke Johns Cabinet, and whose pre-
sence there enabled the Austrian GovernmeL
influence t to exer-
cise a powerful, though tacit, over its proceed-
it:gs, and to keep open a door to the advaiiteges of a
subs( quent union without encumbering itself with formal
engagements, mast now retire. The diitc.io!, of the

Prussians by extraction, or subjects of the Rhenish
States, whose ideas of national unity are sober, unsew-
tiinent-1, aial practical; and who are ready to labour
with might and main for the consolidation they have at
heart, without allowing themselves to be diverted by
local jealousies, and without consulting the historic past,
except so far as its light will enable them to see their

to tlic proposal for the election of a single hereditary
Monarch, thereby precluding the reintroduction into the
new system of that combination of checks and couuter-

ago, succeeded in frustrating the objects and marring

REVERSE OF FORTUNE.—LittIe more than four
years ago there lived in affluence at Marton-in-Cleve-
land (the birth-place of Cook), a gentleman of the name
of Davison. Mr. D. was then the owner of two freehold
farms and other property to the value of 10,0001 or
12,C00/. Owing to some unsuccessful business transac-
tions, in which he unfortunately became concerned, he
was in a short time completely divested of the whole of
his valuable property. Subsequently he was advised to
institute a suit in Chancery for the recovery of part of
his patrimonial estate, in which a large sum of money,
supplied by the kindness of two faithful old servants
(one of whom has since become his wife), was speedily
expended, without, however, attaining the object de-
sired; and in consequence of his inability to pay certain
costs, on a motion made on the part of the de-
fendant in the suit, he was cast into pri-
son, his wife and two young children having
in the meantime been forcibly ejected from a humble
dwelling on the estate, in which Mr. D. had taken
shelter after the sale of the last remnant of his effects,
in utter helplessness. After being detair.ed in York
Castle for a considerable period, without being able to
pay the costs necessary to the further prosecution of the
suit, he was compelled to take the benefit of the Act for
the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, whereby lie necessarily
relinquished all claim to the property he had sought to
recover. Mr. John Davison is now living ut Muldrea-
boro%on-Tees, without any means of supporting him,elf
and family, and during a portion of the harvest mow!
of the pre sen'. year he has been glad to obtain even occa-
sional employment as a labourer on a farm adj( ining the
rich broad lands so recently his own. Yet no murmur
or repining is ever heard from him. Who can help ad-
miring such patient endurance, and commiserating such
misfortunes?—(From a Correspondent.)
THE ANCIENT BOAT FROM TIIE CLYDE.—At the
meeting of the Society of Antiquaries held on the Bth
inst., there was presented to the society, through the
liberality of the trustees of the river Clyde, an ancient
boat, dug up in the autumn, of. 1847, at Springfield, op
posite the Broon!ielaw. This most interl.sting relic is
hewn out of a single tree, and is in so rude a fashion
that we cau hardly assign too remote a date to it within

SHEERNESS, DEC. 18.—The Dutch ship Laurent
Koster, Captain Kleve, left Standgate Creek yesterday,
and proceeded to sea on the following morning in charge
of T. J. Brown, Trinity pilot of this port. The ship left
Rotterdam early in November with troops, and after
running down the English Chancel, when between
Beachy Head and the Isle of Wight, the cholera broke
out on board, and four soldiers, the carpenter, and cook,
speedily fell victims to the disease. On returning to the
Downs she was sent by the Dutch Consul to Standgate
Creek, where the deaths subsequently increased to four-
teen. Several who had recovered from the attack of
cholera, amongst them the chief mate, have been at-
tacked with virulent small pox.
The accounts from China give an unfavourable
view of the market for British manufactures, cotton
yarns and long cloths having both declined in price, and
the large quantities known to be on the way were ex•
voted to depress the rates still further. Spanish stripes
had rather improved, but lorg ells had declined, and
camlets were without change. Cotton, iron, and cochi-
neal had all fallen in value. The demand for tea had
been good, at an advance of one to two tat Is. Thes© ac-
counts confirm the short supply of silk; prices of good
quality were well maintained, but inferior sorts had de-
clined in values. The exports from Shanghae were only
3,097 bales this year, against 8,700 bales to same date
last year. Exchange on England, 4s. Freights from
Canton, 31. lOs. to 41; from Shanghae, 41. for tea, and
41. 10s. for silk. _

A JUDGES'S SYMPATHY.—Baron Alderson asked
some gentlemen of the bar. how many counsel were en-
gaged for the defence in the conspiracy case then
being tried before Mr. Justice Erle. The answer was—
seven." " Seven I" exclaimed his Lordship ; " then
the Lord hare mercy on Mr. Justice Erle."—Liverpool
