NOTICE.

The magnificent Freehold Domains and Manors of BOLD HALL,
SUTTON, and BURTONWOOD, in SOUTH LANCASHIRE, be-
tweea LIVERPOOL and MANCHESTER, one of the finest Landed
Investments ever offered for sale.
.31ESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON re-
spectfully apprize the public, that in consequence of the Pro-
prietor having ordered a new survey to be made, which is now in
progress, the SALE, by AUCTION, of these most important and in-
fluential ESTATES will NOT TAKE PLACE till May or June

tained. They comprise nearly 7,000 acres, and are of the value of

timbered park, and some of the most complete and substantial home-
steads in the county (several newly erected). One of the striking
features of tliis splendid domain is, that nearly 5,000 acres lie in a
perfect ring fence, intersected merely by the Great Liverpool Turn-
pike-road and Railway, with scarcely an acre intervening.
The estates may be viewed by application to Alexander Banner-
man, Esq., Chorley, near Preston ; to Messrs. Rowson and Cross, So-
licitors, Prescott and Messrs. Daniel Smith and Son, Land Agents

SKINNER V. Ifi'DOCIALL.-JUDGMENT.

His HoNoun gave judgment this morning in this case,
decreeing the specific performance of an agreement, and
deciding thatthe defendant was not entitled to the benefit

of the Statute of Frauds.
THE CORPORATION OF ROCHESTER V. LEE.--.JUDG3IENT.

His Hurtoun also gave judgment in this case, which
was argued before him a few days since upon a motion
for a new trial. Upon the cause coming on for hearing,
the Court directed an issue to try whether the mayor
and corporation of Rochester were the owners
of the port of Rochester, and as such law-
fully entitled to the toll of 3d., and the half of a
farthing upon every ton weight of coal coming into that
port. The case was tried a short time since before the
Lord Chief Baron, and the jury upon that occasion found
a verdict for the defendant, and that the Corporation
were not the owners of the port of the city of Rochester,
and not being such, were not lawfully entitled to the
toll. His Honour, after shortly going through the case,
refused the motion for a new trial, directing the coats of
the defendant to be costs in the cause.
Motion for a new trial refused with costs.
The Vice-Chancellor Wigram did not sit to-day, and
nothing of any interest took place in the Rolls' Court.

MARKET NE Ws.'—(THlS DAY.

' CORN-EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
The arrivals of all kinds of grain, as well as flour,
for our market last week were on a very limited scale,
though of somewhat improved quality. From Ireland
and Scotland, only about 5,000 quarters of Oats were
received. The imports from abroad consisted of 7,690
quarters of Wheat, 1,229 ditto of Barley, 2,173 ditto
of Oats, 1,150 ditto of Rye, 5,201 ditto of Beans, 323
ditto of Tares, 2,950 ditto of Linseed, 665 ditto of
sundry seeds, 770 barrels and 345 sacks of Flour.
Had it not been for the prevailing easterly winds, the
importations would have been on a more liberal
scale. Fresh-up to-day the receipts of Wheat of
home-produce were very limited, particularly from
Essex and Cambridgeshire. Notwithstanding the
show of samples of both Red and White was very small,
the demand for all kinds of English Wheat was heavy
at a decline in the quotations of Monday last of fully
2s. per quarter. At the close of business a clearance
had not been effected, and the market closed heavily.
The show of Foreign Wheat was again somewhat exten-
sive. As the millers purchased with extreme caution,
and th,ere were very few orders on the market from the
country, he trade was in a very depressed state, and
prices declined from is to 2s per quarter, no progress
being made in sales. Floating cargoes were much neglected,

" Copenhagen, 29th April, 1848.
" Last Sunday we fought a glorious battle at Schles-
%%ig, with about 12,000 men against upwards of 31,000

or 32,000 Germans, from nine o'clock in the morning
till seven at night, when our army was obliged to give
up the place. It bivouacked the night without being
pursued, and marched the next morning to Flensburg,
from which place it has retired over to Alsen without
losing a single cannon, although the (ierman papers
falsely say the contrary. The carnage has been dread-
ful on both sides. We have lost in killed, wounded, and
missing 2,000 men, and it is supposed the Prussians
nearer 4,000, as they were the attackers. Never was a
more glorious battle fought in the annals of Denmark.
Since the commencement of hostilities we have had forty
to fifty officers killed or mortally wounded. England,
if, as does not appear to be denied, really pledged by
treaty to assist us, cannot much longer look calmly on
this butchery. Give in we will not, for at sea we are
equal to 70,000 men on land. We have now upwards of
flay Prussians, and the inhabitants of the ports from
the Memel to the Weser will be forced to inquire into
the true merits of the battle Denmark is fighting for her
existence.

"Send us wealthy volunteers. We are getting up
subscriptions for our widows and orphans. England
will fulfil her pledge for the honour of the country and
the cause of humanity.
" We have several Norwegian and English volunteers.
A Mr. Plantagenet Harrison, a powerful man, seven
feet high and thirty years of age, who bas served in the
Caucasus, in Abd-el-Kader's forces, and has been a
General in South America, has now taken service with
us—as the weaker side. Such has been his constant wish.
" Use all y our influence in the newspaper world to
rouse the public opinion to move for us shortly. It is
glorious to live among a people who love their country
and will die for it."

Since the above was in type, we have received the
Hamburgh papers of the sth. The following are

WEST FLANDERS RAILWAY

Thehalf-yearlygeneral meeting of the proprietors of
this reilwae was held on Saturday, at the Londoe
Tavern, 131-lop,gate-street; Mr. W. P. Richards, chair-
man ot the board ut directors, in the chair.
The report, of which we give a short abstract, stated
that the entire line from Bruges to Courtrai, a distance
of about thirty-three miles, was in working operation,
and the traffic yielded a return of 4001. per week, in-
cluding a small portion of goods traffic. This amount
of traffic, although less than had been calculated on, was
considered as a fair result on the first opening. This
was the state of things last year, and the directors re-
gretted to state that instead of the traffic increasing, as
wes then expected, it had rath‘r decreased.
The CHAIRMAN, on moving the adoption of the report,
dwelt at s..me length upon the disappointment the
directors had experb need in the falling off of the traffic,
but there orris t very prospect of the expenses attendant
upon the working of the line being reduced, and when
they wet agai,,,thetr report would nu doubt be of a more
favourable character.
Mr. TINDAL ATHISON moved, as an amendment,
committeeof
to
inquiry, consisting of five share•
investigate the financial affairs
and liabilities of the company, and to report thereon to
holders, that a
be appointeda
special meeting of the shareholders.
After a lengthened discussion, the amendment was
negatived, and the report adopted by a small majority.
Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the
meeting terminated.

CHESTER RACES.
SIR JOHN TO SIR HARRY.
DEAR Hatotr.—The races et Chester's old city
Slave Induced me to write an inquiring ditty;
And I beg you will write me a line (as you ought),
With ev'ry particular touching the sport.
And not only that, Sir—but give, in your letter,
A general outline, which none can do better.
This favour Pm anxiously building upon,
So pray don't omit to remember "friend Joust."
SIR HARRY'S REPLY.
DEAR JACK,— 4s you've sent me a line so entreating,
I musn't pass over the Chester Spring Meeting.
With regard to the course you shall hear more anon,
For I've other things worthy your notice, Sir John.
Had MOSES and SON seen the late Chester Races,
A smile of delight would have played on their faces.
Ev'ry train that arrived brought its hundreds who wore
Such dress as I never have witness'd before.
The scene round the" walls" (thanks to MOSES and SON)
Was, "really and truly," a brilliant one.
When I look'd at the styles (which were certain to strike)
In over-coats, trousers, coats, vests, and the like,
I actually couldn't help saying—" Well done,"
The dresses do credit to MOSES and SON.
But I'm forced to conclude, or the postman won't carry
This note to Sir John, from his hearty friend Malty.

Diet, the Envoy for the Grand Duchy of Luxem-
!)nurg informed the Assembly that the Netherlandish
•Government had appointed a special commissary to
ensure the execution of the decrees relating especially
t,? the elections of the Deputies to the National

IRELAND. ___
DUBLIN, MAY 28.—The overwhelming excitement
created by the extraordinary scenes enacted yesterday,
unlike ordinary ebullitions of popular feeling, remains
unabated ; and it would be but shirking the truth t.)
conceal the fact that, beyond his own friends and parti-
sans, there prevails no small amount of sympathy foci ‘T-T-iS
the late of the misguided man whose own temerity and
undisguised preachings of tre9son have led to expatria-
tiou,from his native land, where, by a legitimate exercise
of talents of no common order, be would doubtless have
I attained a position sufficiently elevated to satisfy the
political aspirations of any man cf less moderate preten-
sions than Mr. John Mitchel. He has, however, chosen
his own course ; he ran his head into the lion's mouth
played the game of his antagonists, and has been check-
mated. It is to be hoped— a rather illusory expectation
—that his example will not be lost upon others who,
it is said, are prepared, at every risk, to follow in his
footsteps. It might be well for those ardent—it may be
honest—young men to reflect before they commit them-
selves further in a desperate cause. They may depend
upon it that the present state of feeling in favour of their
leader is but transitory, and that in a few brief months
his memory will fare no better than that of the many
who have perilled their liberty under somewhat similar
circumstances.
The precautions taken yesterday to prevent any rash
attempt at rescue on the way to the place of embarkation
were most effective and judicious. There was, however,
some rioting at Seville-place, on the North Strand,
where the police were assailed by a mob, the chief
leaders of whom were women. One amazon was con-
spicuous by her daring. She hurled stones and brick-
bats with unerring aim at the heads of the constabulary,
cursing lustily the cowardice of the men of Dublin in
leaving the fighting to the women. All the efforts of
the police to effect her capture were useless, and she
finally escaped in the crowd of combatants. One man
had his head laid open by a stroke of a baton, and several
of the ringleaders were taken prisoners.
About four o'clock a body of police took possession of
the office of the United Irishman, and carried off the
types, &c., on a dray. Subsequently, however, it ap-
peared that Mr. Gavan Duffy had on the day previous
purchased all the materials, and having intimated this
circumstance to the authorities, orders were issued to
restore the property, and at about six o'clock the types
were brought back to the office in Trinity-street. The
premises are, however, still in the possession of the
police.

A successor to the United Irishman, conducted under
the auspices of some of the writers of the defunct organ,
will, we understand, snake its appearance next Satur-
day, under the attractive name of the Felon. Father
Kenyon, it is said, will be a leading contributor to its
columns.

LEICESTER.

The evidence to establish agency was commenced yes-

where Sir Joshua Walmsley put up, proved that a person
named Stains, who was alleged to have committed the
bribery, was constantly in communication with Sir
Joshua during the election. A wife of another alleged
agent named Samson proved that her husband had been
" out of the way " since December last. The .rest of the
day was occupied with evidence of bribery.

ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAI.LWAT.—
On Wednesday night an accident occurred to s ti luggage
train on this line, which, though it destuoyed or
damaged a considerable amount of property, was hap-
pily unattended with personal injury to any one. It
appears that when the down luggage train, which t reaches
Chelmsford about twelve o'clock, was near Ingt ttestone,
the axle of one of the trucks broke ; the truck was
thrown off the line, and the coupling-chain ing re-
leased by the jerk from the train in front, rolls d down
an embankment, but not of great height, carrying with
it the other trucks in the rear. So little was the train
affected by this untailment, that the driver a the en-
gine proceeded, unconscious of his loss, and the acci-
dent was not discovered by him till he reached the
Chelmsford station. The lost trucks were found lying
in a heap, with coffee, champagne, and various descrip-
tions of other valuable property, scattered ab out and
crushed; and altogether the damage will fall little short
of 1,0001. Not the slightest injury was done to the
line. Mr. Mackenzie, the station master at Chel lmsford,
and other officers of the company, were soon u pon the
spot to take the necessary measures, and there vv. as little
or no interference with the regular trains.—Che lmsford
Chronicle.
TiK IRON TRADE, BIRMINGHAM, &TITRE
The iron trade of South Staffordshire, owing t 0 the
present disturbed and unsettled state of the Continent,
and the failure of many foreign houses to which goods
were consigned, is now suffering very considerably. The
make of iron has in consequence been greatly reduced,
and it is generally expected that at the next quitrterly
meeting there will be a fall in price to the extent of 20s.
per ton. No reduction among the great houses he Is yet
been submitted to, but that it will occur, unless m atters
change wonderfully, seems to be pretty generally is, oder-
stood in the iron districts.

LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 30, 1848.

From one extremity to another, Italy is distracted
by revolutionary commotions. Intrigue in one city,
conspiracy in another, rioting in another, butchery in
another—tumultuous meetings in Rome, stormy de-
bates in Turin, dismay at Venice, astonishment at
Florence, anxiety in Bologna, and massacres at Na-

and bloodshed in the Neapolitan capital ;—everything
conspires to enhance the awe and inflame the enthu-

DUBLIN, MONDAY.
The usual meeting of the Repeal Association was
held this day in Conciliation Hall. Messrs. Burke,
Galway, and J. O'Connell were present.
The following resolutions were adopted :
" That in the late case of The Queen v. John
Mitchel,' the jury selected to try the accused was packed
from his known political opponents.
"That, therefore, the verdict of that jury is no evi-
dence of Mr. Mitchel's guilt.
" That any punishment based upon the verdict is an
act of arbitrary power, end a blow struck, through the
medium of jury•packing, at the lives and liberties of
Irishmen.
" That under the circumstances it is the bounden
duty of Ireland to adopt the family of Mr. Mitchel as its
own, and to provide for their comfort and education at
the public expense during that gentleman's absence from
this country.
"That a copy of the foregoing resolutions be pre-
sented to Mrs. Mitchel, accompanied by an expression
of sincere condolence on the part of this association."
Dublin remains perfectly quiet.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES

Letters from Hamburgh of the 26th state that
preliminaries for peace have actually commenced ;
that the Prussians are immediately to evacuate Jut-
land, without raising the contribution of two millions
of dollars demanded by General WRANGEL ; the
head-quarters of this general to retire to Hadersleben,
that of General HALKETT to Flensburg. Should
this be confirmed from Copenhagen, all the German
vessels laid under embargo will be instantly released

Willoughby Jones, had determined to abandon his oppo-
sition to tho petition.

BAVARIA.

The Chamber of Deputies introduced on the 27th
ult some very important amendments into the law re-
lating to the saving banks. The most important to
which the Ministers have given their assent is that
which is to decree that the reimbursement of the
money placed by tho oaring banks in the funds lor
the redeeming the public debt, and which amounts to
about 10 million florins, will take place by annual
terms of one million, instead of being funded in bonds
giving an interest of 4 per cent., as proposed by the
project of the Government. The Ministry proposed
in the same sitting a project of law which allows to
the German Parliament, at Frankfort, an indemnity
of 5 florins a day, as allowed to the members of the
Bavarian Chamber of Deputies. The Chamber
adopted unanimously the project of law relating to
the loan.

PRUSSIA.
The following royal proclamation to the army
appears in the Prussian State Advertiser (late the
Universal Prussian Stale Gazette) of May 3d :

" TO THE ARMY.
" I have already, in my proclamation of the 18th
Starch, declared my firm conviction that our common
❑ative land can only regain its ancient power and glory,
and the importance due to it in Europe, it it be
strengthened and exalted both in its totality and in the
individual states which form that totality, by constitu-
tional liberties.

" Hereupon, and in pursuance of this declaration, and
of my own tree resolve, I promise such a constitution to
my hereditary lands, and I determine to adopt the same
for myself and my ancestors. Supported by my true
and faithful people, I shall carry it out in its completest
development and enlargement, to the weal of our native
land, so help me God.
" Ye, therefore, true and valiant warriors of my army,
are called upon to co-operate in the completion of this
good work, and in order to strengthen and encourage
you to this work, I call to your remembrance how be-
neath our glorions colours, crowned with victory and
blessing, your forefathers founded and constituted the
renown of the Prussian name. The toils of these ott-
difficult combats have always been thankfully acknow-
ledged and honoured by) our King and your fellow-
subjects.
" What your ancestors and you have done, under the
gracious assistance of God, you will continuo to do, in
effecting the union of our native German land; and, there-
fore, beside our own ancient colours you wear those of
the German empire, which stood for thousands of yearn,
that you may ever remember, with your German brethren
in arms, you are the stay and defence of the whole
united - Germany.

On the 30th ult. the State Assembly was pro-
rog ued to the 20th of June, on which day it is to
meet again to discuss a law concerning the modifica-
tions to be introduced into the constitution. The

caricatured some of the most popular men in the
town, the mob gathered, and broke some panes at the
windows of his house. The publisher of these cari-

the civic guard. Some other persons had their panel
broken on this occasion.

FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE.
The Teutonic National Assembly, or German Par -
'lament, commenced its sittings on the Ist M ay, in
the Town-hall of Frankfort. The Parliament opened
with 17 members. Amongst the most distinguished
of these were Herr Blum,- Vice-President of the
Committee of Fifty • Herr Herginhume, Minister
of Hesse Darmstadt ; Herr Eisenmann, one of those
formerly condemned for his political opinions ;
Herr Hkksher, a celebrated advocate in Hamburgh ;
and the Herren Hipperman and Schwarzenberg,
members of the opposition in Hesse Cassel. The
Preslrdennat g
()111•Iber present, Herr Scholt, acted as
the day Speaker of the day, and the Secretary
was llerr Jucho, member for Frankfort.

Committee of Fifty, attended the funeral of General

mourners

more elaborate or, altogether,
a more satisfac-
tory explanation could not possibly have been given i
r'sPecting any diplomatic transaction of a debateable
character than the one with which the Lord Presi-
dent of the Council yesterday evening rebutted the
accusations of the Noble Lawler of the Opposition.
Those accusations were merely the amplification of
the charges which have been incidentally levelled
within the last fortnight against the foreign policy of
her MAJESTY'S Government. Ostensibly, the obj
of Lord STANLEY, in delivering his lung speechect in
the House of Lords last night, was to elicit a more
detailed vindication of the course recently pursued
by the Chief Secretary for Foreign Affairs and the
representative of her Britannic Majesty at the
Court of IsAnELLA, than had been given on the pre-
ceding evening in the other Chamber of Parliament,
either by Lord J. RussELLor Lord PALMERSTON. As

assumed a certain degree of importance from the un-

GRAND DUCHY OF BADEN.

CARLSRUIIE, APRIL 2.9.—The following ordinance
was published this morning:—
" We. Leopold, by the grace of God, Grand Duke of
Baden, &c. For some time since public tranquillity has
been disturbed at Mannheim. A certain number of in-
solent and bold men have, by their audacity and their
violence, terrified the inhabitants, and rendered the sway
of the legal authorities impossible, &e.
" Consequently, the town of Mannheim is proclaimed
in a state of siege. All inhabitants are obliged to deliver
their arms to the proper authorities in the three
hours following the publication of the present d. cree.
The arms which are not delivered at the expiration of
the above delay will be confiscated."
Three thousand Bavarian troops have entered
Mannheim this morning. The men who, armed with
scythe•, attacked the troops close to the Rhine-bridge
at Mannheim, have been taken into custody and
brought to Bruchsal.
