LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 20, 1818

This evening is the anniversary of the death—
the.premature and suspicious death—of the son of
NAPOLEON. Born as no other mortal was ever born,
either before or since, a KING—a KING too, like
TARQUIN, of the eternal city, Rome—proclaimed an
Emperor during 1815 in the crisis of a grand poli-
tical catastrophe —an exile amidst the imperial
splendours of Schoenbrunn : living in a perpetual
antithesis of circumstance in the gloom and the glory
of his name, in the depths of misfortune and on the
pinnacle of prosperity—the Duc n REICGSTADI
existed in an accidental agony of events, and perished
as the expiation of greatness.
Since the period of his dissolution—what occur-
rences have illustrated the history of France !—what
strides liberty has made from Paris throughout
the continent ! what a diffusion'of liberal ideas there
bas been radiating from the Place de la Bastille to
the farthermost extremities of Christendom ! To
condense the facts which have transpired within the
boundaries of France in the compass of a paragraph,
we should say that Royalty has sacrificed the last

—.cm—
TUNBRIDGE-WELLS, FRIDAY NlGHT.—Considerable
excitement prevails in this neighbourhood at the present
time, in consequence of a man named Samuel Tompkins
having cut the throat of his wife with a razor, and so
seriously injured her that it is doubtful whether she will
ever recover.
It appears that a few days back, as the superintendent
of police was passing by the house occupied by the un-
fortunate female, the husband came up to him and said
that his wife had cut her throat. The officer entered
the building and found the female lying on the floor in
a pool of blood and three wounds in her throat. The
man said, " So help me God, I did not do it."
A surgeon, having been called in, examined the
wounds, and at once pronounced them to have been in-
h
in-
flicted, not by the female, but by another party.
Upon being questioned, the woman, as well as she
could articulate said that her husband had cut her
throat with the razor which was lying at her side, and
,
which was covered with blood.
The man
having was, therefore, taken into custody, and,
been taken before the magistrates, he was re-
manded for a month, to seo whether or not his wife will
recover.

VENICE.

The Venice Gazette of the 29th contains a procla-
mation by General RIZZARDI to the inhabitants of
Chioggia, announcing to them his nomination by the
Provisional Government to the post of Commander
of that important place, and encouraging them to
resist, since Venice and Chioggia together form an
impregnable fortress. "Venice," says the procla-
mation, "is the head, and Chioggia the heart of this
part of free and independent Italy." The tone of the
Venice papers in general is that of confidence in ulti-
mate success.

TUSCANY.
INSURRECTION AT LEGHORN.-DEFEAT

OF THE TROOPS.
The Piedmontese Gazette of the 6th states that
Leghorn was the scene of a new insurrection on the
Sd. The decrees closing the clubs, and prohibiting
tumultuous crowds, besides the orders for the arrest
of several persons, emanating from the extraordinary
Commissioner CIPRIANI, were the signal for it. The
Government bills were torn down from the walls ;
the people rushed into the square, and invaded the
Governor's palace. The troops appeared, and fired in
the air ; the people returned it by killing and wound-
ing several ; artillery was then drawn up and swept
the Strada, but was ultimately repulsed by a violent
fusilade. The cavalry were also repulsed. The
troops retired with the Governor to the fortress. The
military lost 60 men killed, other accounts say 120 ;
and add that a part of the military laid down their
arms and fraternized with the people, who were
preparing to attack the fortress. A Provisional
Government was immediately formed.

FRANKFORT.

The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, of the 6th,
contains the following in its official part :—" In
consequence of the resolution taken by the National
Assembly in the sitting of yesterday, tending to sus-
pend military and other measures necessary for the
execution of the armistice which was concluded at
Malmore on the 26th August, the President of the
Council of Ministers, all the Ministers of the Empire,
and all the Under-Secretaries, have given in their re-
signation, which have been accepted by his Imperial
Highness the Archduke JOHN. His Imperial High-
ness has charged M. DAULMANN, member of the Na-
tional Assembly, to compose a new Ministry."
The following is given in a Frankfort journal as
the terms of the resolution of the Archduke JOHN
relative to the affair of the duchies of Schleswig•Hol-
stein, which is dated the 7th August :
" The Prussian Plenipotentiary, the Minister of State
Camphausen, having set forth to me the state of the ne-
gotiations on an armistice between the German and
Danish forces, and especially the motives which render
the conclusion of an armistice desirable by the Prussian
Government, which has, up to this day, directed the ne-
gotiations in the name of Germany—viz., by the advice
of my Ministry of the empire, I have resolved to au-
thorise the Prussian Government to conclude an armis-
tice with Denmark in the name of the Central Provi-
sional Government, taking for basis the project as set-
tled in the conference of Bellevue on the 19th July, sub-
ject to the following modiflcati ,ns, destined to serve as
an explanation of the basis of the said project, which
must be recognised by the Danish Government:-Ist,
The persons to be chosen to form a new common Govern-
ment for the duchies of Schleswig-Holstein shall, even
before the conclusion of the armistice, be designated by
the contracting parties in such a manner as to afford a
guarantee of the permanence and efficiency of the new
Government; 2d, Under the denomination of the ex-
isting laws and ordinances must be expressly comprised
those published up to the conclusion of the armistice;
3d, The troops shall remain in the duchies under the
orders of the German generals.

SCHLES WIG-HOLSTEIN.

ALTONA, SEPT. 6.—lt is stated that two of the
persons appointed to form the new Provisional Go-
vernment have consented to undertake that burden, but
have declared to Count MOLTKE that they could not
de so under his presidency, as he did not possess the
confidence of the people. It is expected that the King
of DENMARK will appoint some Schleswig-Holsteiner,
some suppose Count BAUDISSEN-BORSTEL, to form
the Provisional Government, or else that the central
power will delegate a commission for the administra-
tion of Schleswig-Holstein.
The Assembly hope to conclude the debate on the
new Constitution on Friday, and proceed to the vote,
on the adoption of the whole fundamental law.
KIEL, SEPT. s.—The resolution of the Assembly
of the States has caused general satisfaction and
rejoicing. The official dispatches for the raising of
the blockade was received on Sunday by the Galathea,
which attempted to enter the harbour without hoisting
the flag of truce, and was saluted by several resolute
shots from the harbour battery.

The resolutions adopted by the Kiel Assembly are—

" 1. W. pledge ourselves not to pay any duties im-
posed upon us which are not authorised by the Assem-
bly of the States.
" 2. We pledge ourselves to resist, by force of arms,
any opposed power which shall attempt to compel us to
pay the same.
" 3. We pledge ourselves to use our utmost exertions
to obtain the co-operation of all the people in the
measure."

FLENSBURG, SEPT. s.—After the Oldenburg and
Hanseatic troops had marched to-day to the south,
General WRANGEL arrived with about 8,000 Prus-
sians, who will leave tomorrow,
Great excitement prevails here respecting the
armistice, and conflicts more severe than any we have
yet had must be expected.
SCHLESWIG, SEPT. 2.—A meeting of 7,000 to 8,000
burghers took place to-day, who passed the following
resolutions, to be laid before the Schleswig-Holstain
Assembly, as the expression of the earnest desire—
,. 1. That the Schleswig-Holstein Assembly should
declare itself permanent.
2. That they should, with as little delay as possible,
adopt the project of the constitution; and
3. Not to sanction the dissolution of the Provisional
Government before the establishment of peace."

NORWAY AND SWEDEN.
CHRISTIANIA, AUG. 26.—The dissolution of the
Storthing took place to-day. The Stadtholder read
the KING'S Speech, which concludes by his MAJESTY
expressing his regret that his coronation and that of
the QUERN must be postponed, in consequence of the
present political relations of Europe.

by the Bannat in the name of the KING and the BANN
of Croatia, after which the soldiers at once took pos-
session of the garrisons and guardhouses. Public
order was not interrupted one instant. The National
Guard has dissolved itself. The Governor and several
other functionaries are preparing to take their depar-
ture. All the authorities, with the exception of the
Government, have retained their places. The Vice-
Palatine (vice GESPAN) of Agram, JOSEPH

bitants of the free city of Fiume and its environs,
assuring them that he came, not as an enemy, but a
friend, to protect their lives and property in the
present vacillating security of their fatherland.
In the name of the KING and the BANN, he guaran-
tees to them the privileges of a free constitution,
with the maintenance of the Italian language, and ex-
horts them to pursue their avocations in peace and
order under the municipal authorities, who had been
daily instructed by him.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.'

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
Since Monday last, up to Saturday evening, the sup-
plies of all kinds of Grain of home-produce, as well as
Yi,nur, received for our market, wore on a very limited
scale, though of somewhat improved quality. From
Ireland sod Scotland scarcely any Grain reached us.
The foreign import', however, were tolerably good, viz.,
21,587 quarters of Wheat, 9,610 ditto of Barley, 16,191
ditto of 0140,20 ditto of Rye, 4,708 ditto of Beans, 706
ditto of Peas, 555 ditto of Tares, 3,817 ditto of Linseed,
179 ditto of Rape Seed, 61 ditto of Mustard Seed, 51
ditto of sundry Seeds, and 1,101 barrels, together with
3,137 sacks of Four---the latter being mostly from
France. A fair average quantity, of Wheat was re-
ceived fresh up to our maets to.day, from Essex and
Kent, coastwise as well as by land-carriage, but from other
quarters the receipts were small. On the whole, the stands
were well filled with samples, several of which were left
over from last week, yet, owing to the variableness of:the
weather for harvest work in the north, the demand for all
kinds of Wheat of home produce was steady, at prices about
equal to those paid on this day se'nnight, and at which

The Ministers immediately after the division pro-

other functionaries are preparing to take their depar-
ture. All the authorities, with the exception of the
Government, have retained their places. The Vice-
Palatine (vice GESPAN) of Agram, JOSEPH
BUNTEVACZ, has issued an address to the inha-
bitants of the free city of Fiume and its environs,
assuring them that he came, not as an enemy, but a
friend, to protect their lives and property in the
present vacillating security of their fatherland.
In the name of the KING and the BANN, he guaran-
tees to them the privileges of a free constitution,
with the maintenance of the Italian language, and ex-
horts them to pursue their avocations in peace and
order under the municipal authorities, who had been
daily instructed by him.

HOLLAND.

TUE HAGUE, SEPT. 9.—The first Chamber of the
States-General has this day terminated its discussion
on the revision of the fundamental law ; thus by the
vote of the six last projects of law the work of our con-
stitutional institutions is adopted in its entire extent.
It is expected that both the Chambers will be con-
voked on an early day, to sanction the new constitu-
tion of our country.
The votes for the six projects were-
-Ist. Of the kingdom of the people, by 20 votes
against 6.
2d. Of the King-14 against 12.

3d. Of the States-General.
4th. Of the Provincial States, Stc.-23 against 3.
sth. Of justice—unanimously.
6th. Of religion and public instruction-22
against 4.
London, England, 1848-09-11

To this was added the following amendment:—

" Those officers whose political convictions do not ac-
cord with the above shall, as a point of honour, be made
to retire from the army ."

The 'Ministers immediately after the division pro-
ceeded to Potsdam, to place their resignation in the
hands of the KING. This vote is considered as a
great triumph by the Democratic party.
From the 3d to 4th September 39 new cases of
cholera occurred at Berlin, and from the 4th to the
sth there were 64. The cholera has also broken out
at Spandau.

near enough. He was perfectly satisfied, and said if
would give them to him the parties would turn them
instantly into cash, and I should have my money in half
an hour, and there would also be some for himself, which
he very much wanted, as he had not yet received a far-
thing; all the money they bad lot him have he had paid
to me. I said he was a perfect stranger to me; that I
had not even heard his name, or where he lived. He
said he lived in the City. I then said, well, I suppose
must take your word, and I delivered to him six impres-
sions and the original note, according to the instruc-
tions received from Mr. Bush and Mr. J. Forrester. He
left me, and I followed him as quickly as possible, but
saw no money or him until he was in custody at the
Mansion-house, on Thursday, the 16th. Ido not know
the other prisoner, Dewey. The impressions I gave to
Brown are the same as now are produced by Daniel For-
rester.*

Susan Sparke, wife of the last witness, said—l know
the prisoner Brown. He has been backwards and for-
wards with my husband on the business of engraving a
plate of the 5L note of the Reading Bank. I have been
present on many occasions of Brown's calling to give
orders. On the 15th instant, my husband handed him,
in my presence, six impressions, and the original 5L note
left us a pattern.
The proprietor of the Star and Garter public-house,
in Poland-street, said--I know both prisoners. They
used my house for about a week previously to Wednes-
day, the 15th, when they were apprehended by Mr. For-
rester. The elder prisoner, Dewey, usually came
about eleven o'clock, and seated himself in the parlour.
About tour times I observed Brown come in and sit
with Dewey, and they drank together. They stayed
together over a pint or two of porter until four o'clock in
the day.
Mr. Charles Simonds, connected with the banking
house at Reading, stated that the note left with Mr.
Sparke, the engraver, by the prisoner Brown, to be
copied, was a genuine note of the Reading Bank, but
the signature had been cut off. The plates were en-
graved without authority.
Daniel Forr?ster stated, that upon hia going into the
public•house where the two prisoners were, Brown at-
tempted to throw the notes produced into the fire, and
Dewey endeavoured to prevent him (Forrester) taking
them out.

The prisoner Dewey repeated the statement made by
him upon the former examination, namely, that a person
named Evans had given to him en umbrella and a cigar
case, in which the notes were deposited without his
knowledge, to keep for him until his return from the
yard.
Brown said nothing, and both prisoners were com-
mitted for trial.

PETITIONS.

The BishDp of OXFORD presented several peti-
tions from various of the clergy, in different parts of
the country, against the emancipation of the Jews.
Also petitions against the management clauses in the
Education Bill.

Lord REDESDALE presented petitions from
various places against denunciations from the altar
in Ireland.

PENINSULAR MEDALS.

The Duke of RICHMOND then rose, pursuant
to notice, to ask when the medals to the veteran
officers, non-commissioned officers, soldiers, and
sailors were to be issued ; and to suggest, if any fur-
ther delay was to take place, that the ribbands
be forthwith sent to all who have proved
their claim, with permission to wear them.
He trusted that the medals would not only be speedily,
distributed to the sum vivors of the Peninsular cam-
paigns, but would also be given to the representatives
of those who were dead.

Earl GREY said it was a task of great difficulty
to ascertain the validity of the various claims. Great
progress had been made in settling those claims, and
the construction of the models for the medals
was in rapid progress. Ile was afraid that
it would be impracticable to distribute medals to the
representatives of the dead, as at this distance of time
it would be in many cases impossible to ascertain who
were the legal representatives of the persons deceased.
After a few words from the Earl of HARDWICKE
and the Earl of AUCKLAND the subject dropped.
SANITARY REFORM.

The Earl of ABERDEEN presented a petition
from Aberdeen, in favour of sanitary reform.

the sitting Member, observing that the incumbrances '
eonsisted of judgments which the parties holding had
elected, should be satisfied by the property in Sligo, and
thus leave the clear rent charge untouched.
The room was then cleared, and the Committee
having again deliberated for a short time, the parties
were called in, when
The CHAIRMAN said he had to inform them that the
Committee had found that the law made all Mr. Somers'
property liable for the judgments, and therefore they
had unanimously come to the following resolutions I—
" That John Patrick Somers, Esq., was not duly
elected a burgess to serve in the present Parliament for
the borough of Sligo.
" That the last election for the said borough was a
void election."
The Committee then broke up, after a sitting of two
day s.

The Sligo Election Committee re-assembled this
morning; Mr. Grainger in the chair.
Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM was engaged the whole of
the morning in arguing that the sitting Member had a
right to make use of the declaration he laid upon the
table of the House for the purpose of proving that he
had sufficient property independently of that in the
county of Clare, to satisfy the ineumbranecs which
rested on the rent charge.
Mr. CALVERT on the other side insisted that they had
no right to travel beyond the limits of the declaration,
which had been filled in Dublin.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.

SLIGO.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of Saturday.)
Evidence was then put in to prove that the usual de-
mand for a declaration of Mr. Somers' qualification was
duly served upon the Hon. Gentleman; after which
Mr. Sergeant WRANCRIAM insisted that the demand
was not complete, inasmuch as it was not accompanied
with a tender of money to defray the expenses of making
the declaration.

The Committee held the objection to be good.
Evidence was adduced to show that the rent-charge in
the county of Clare, which Mr. Somers specified in his
declaration, was so encumbered with judgments as to re-
duce the annual returns below 3001.

Mr. Sergeant WRANGUAM admitted the encumbrances,
but said that Mr. Somers had property in the county of
Sligo to satisfy the judgments, which was included in the
declaration of qualification.
The Committee decided that that declaration was
not made in compliance with the Act of Parliament.
The Committee then adjourned till Monday.

MARKET NEW S.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.—(MONDAY.)
Up to our markets last week, the arrivals of all articles
of Grain of home produce were on a very limited scale;
while from Ireland and Scotland they were chiefly con-
fined to a few cargoes of Oats. From abroad we received
3,471 quarters of Wheat; 1,300 ditto of Barley ; 8,864 ditto
of Oats ; 940 ditto of Beans ; 309 ditto of Peas ; 1,221
ditto of Tares ; 760 ditto of Linseed, and 43 barrels of
Flour. Fresh up to-day, from Essex and Kent, the
receipts of Wheat of home produce were on the in-
crease, but for the most part, of very middling quality,
arising from the damp state of the weather. The at-
tendance of both town and country buyers was by no
means numerous; yet the finest dry samples of both red
and white Wheats of English growth were mostly dis
po.czl of at prices about equal to those paid on this day
se'nnight. In the middling and inferior kinds exceed-
ingly little business was transacted at a decline in the
quotations of quite is per quarter, and a total clearance
was not effected. The inquiry for foreign Wheats was
wholly in retail, and where salt-s were pressed Is per
quarter less money was taken by the importers.
r 0 quantity of Barley off ii.Fg wa, unusually small
Malting parcels were in good request, and is per quarter
dearer. Grindi.ig and distilling sorts sold freely at
very full prices. There was not quite so much business
London, England, 1848-03-27

TALLOW.

For the time of year this market, owing to the
scarcity of Rough Fat, is unseasonably active, and a con-
siderable advance has taken place in the quotations.
Last week the deliveries were not less than 1,851 casks,
against only 543 casks at the corresponding period in
1847—leaving a very small stock on hand. P.Y.C. on
the spot is selling at 52s 6d per. cwt. Rough Fat,
average, 2s 1 Id per Blbs.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)
The House sat to-day to hear appeals. The Peers
present were—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Campbell,
Lord Kenyon, and the Bishop of Manchester.
STERLING V. MORAY.
The further hearing of the arguments on this part
heard Scotch appeal occupied their Lordships the whole
day.
