Advices from Berne of the 21st state that the
Federal Assembly had elected M. BRIATTE (Vaud)

It is confirmed that a violation of territory, on the
extreme north frontier of the Canton of Zurich, has
been made by a party of 32 men from the German
army, stationed on the banks of the Rhine, in pursuit
of a German refugee. The inhabitants assembled and
drove them back over the frontier.

SCIENTIFIC OPINION.

Laboratory, Royal Polytechnic Institution,
October 21, 1848.
Sir,—After a careful examination of your New Gas Burners,
which I have tested in comparison with the best hitherto known, I
am compelled to acknowledge that your recent di.covery is superior
to all others in economy, and in the purity of the flame produced
by it.

lly the simple, yet truly scientific arrangements of your burners,
you have succeeded perfectly in obtaining the proper supply of air,
both in quantity and position • thus, the flame is, at all tines, steady
and intensely luminous ; while even under suddenly increased pres-
sure, or during draughts of air, no smoke Is given off.
I remain, Sir, yours faithfully,

"Mr. Fengere, of 6, Conduit-street, Tailor to his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, and the successful patentee of the celebrated WELLING-
TON Suirrour(now worn by almost every nobleman and gentleman in
the kingdom, and suitable for every season of the year), has again
provided for the comfort of the public, having just introduced ano-
ther new coat for winter, called the ROYAL SIBERIAN OVERCOAT,'
which although perfectly porous, will resist twenty-four hours' in-
cessant rain, and while as light as a cork, is warm, pliant, and com-
fortable as fur. Although richly trimmed, so as to be suitable to
first-class wearers, the price is only Fifty Shillings. We heartily wish
Mr. Fougere the success which his ingenuity and enterprise merit."

4' If the newspaper is to be trusted, I may now offer you my con-
gratulations on your appointment as Provisional Member of Council.

LYCEUM THEATRE.

An Appeal to the Public at this theatre, last night, was
highly successful. The appeal is made by Mr. Charles
Mathews, from the footlights, and the public are the
audience, for the time being, of the Lyceum. Mr. Charles
Mathews—that is to say, Mr. Rosemary—has taken
shelter in a doorway in Fleet-street, from a pelting and
decidedly pitiless storm of rain. A young lady (Miss
Howard) is in a like case. She is very charming,
but it is net her beauty a!one which piques Rose-
mary. He is curious to a fault in other people's
business, and he is dying to know why his beautiful
companion has sighed and cried to herself " Heigh°,
Bilberry !" He scrapes acquaintance, manages
to get enlisted in her cause, finds out the wrong Bil-
berry (an elderly gentleman, who must go making love
to everybody else's wife and neglecting his own, which,
of course, makes her very jealous), gets into all sorts of
amusing scrapes, at last finds out the real Bilberry, and
then, to his extreme annoyance, discovers that the latter
has married clandestinely one Charlotte Smith (the
mysterious young lady), who had been affianced to him-
self, though he has not seen her. The whole piece de-
pends on the neatness of the dialogue, the capital acting
of Charles Mathews, and the anxiety the audience feel
to know what such a rigmarole of improbable concate-
nations will lead to—a curiosity kept alive from time to
time by Rosemary's confidential " appeals to the public"
to know what it is all about. The piece is a little too
long, but it was laughable and successful.

AUSTRIA.

The Vienna Gazette, in noticing the pretensions of
the King of PRUSSIA. to become the Chief of the Ger-
man nation, reminds that Sovereign that his claims
to such a distinction are very slight, as his conces-
sions to the demand for liberty were made only
when further resistance was impossible. The Gazette
adds that the Emperor of AUSTRIA has much better
claims to be regarded as the protector of Gemany
than the King of PRUSSIA, but that he is aware that
the general Diet only can confer this title, and the
King of PRUSSSIA ought to show equal respect for the
will of the German nation.

quizoT.--We understand that, on the day after
the arrival of 11,, Guizot in England, a sum of 2,0001.
was paid to his credit, at a London bank by some un-
known friend. M. Guizot received almost at the sa me
moment an anonymous letter from the party by whom
the money was paid, stating what the writer had done,
and another letter from the bankers, informing him tha t
the money was in their hands. The entire property of M.
Guizot consists, we understand, of houses at Paris, pro-
.ducing, hitherto, an income of about 800/. a year. There
is, however, we need scarely: say, much cause to appre-
hend that this property will be confiscated by the
National Assembly. We have reason to believe that M.
Guizot was concealed for eight days in Paris before he
could make his escape, and that he was obliged during
that time to disguise hiziaself in woman's clothes.—
..Brighton Gazette.
A frightful scene took place yesterday at Vaugi-
Yard. A journeyman wheelwright, named Fayeol, who,
as a corporal in the National Guard, was on duty at a
post near the church, being intoxicated, quarrelled with
every one that came near him, till at last he became so
infuriated that he drew his sword and wounded several
of the men. One of them, who was most seriously
hurt, could not ro,train 'his passion, and seising his
musket, levelled it at Fayeol, and shot him dead.—

PRUSSIA.

The Silesian Gazette, under the head of Breslau,
March 23, says :—" We learn from a certain source
that there is every reason to hope that Prussia and
Austria will restore the Polish provinces."
BERLIN, Mauca 28 —ln consequence of the dis-
turbances which have taken place in several parts of
the province of Silesia, the Minister of the Interior
has issued a rescript, stating that those persons who,
by menaces or by violence, have forced the landed
proprietors to renounce certain dues, shall be amena-
ble to the laws, and the forced Acts of renunciation
shall be considered neither legal nor valid. He also
exhorts persons not to suffer themselves to be led
astray.

M. CAMPHAUSEN, who was said to have been ap-
pointed Privy Councillor of State, has refused to ac-
cept that post, under the conviction that he might at
this moment serve the country more eff6ctually if he
had no political position.
The Prussian States Gazelle publishes the follow-
ing as the bases of the proposed federal meeting at
Frankfort :-1. A concentrated direction under one
federal chief, with two chambers—the second to be
composed of deputies from each of the federate states.
2. The attributions of this Parliament to be the
federal administration and arming of the German
population—the establishment of a federal tribunal,
and one common code as regards domicile, indigenity,
system of trial, penal and commercial codes—the
adoption of an uniform system for moneys, weights,
customs, commerce, and railways.
The Allgemeine Zeitung thus comments on the po-
sition assumed by the King of PRUSSIA as leader of
the movement :

" His having thus unasked grasped at the reins of
the government of United Germany, is a fault which
both he and Germany will have to rue. Ho has
staked all on one bold throw, and the numbers must al-
most be against him. Will all Germany answer to his
call, and join his Diet at Berlin, consisting of a patch-
work of worn-out institutions? Neither the men of
progress nor the reactionists will or can obey Lis
bidding; and the confusion of Germany will be greater
than ever, and the most sanguine will grow hopeless
when they consider the likely consequences. Thi3 step
of the King of Prussia, like many other events
that have occurred cf late, is the consequence of a
mistaken notion of our actual condition, and can lead
to no good."

Burtrtn's PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE FOR 1848.
The new edition of this popular work for 1848, revised
to the present time, from the personal communications
of the Nobility, &c., has just appeared. This new edi-
tion well sustains the character given of the work by a
contemporary, who says. " Burke's Peerage and Baro-
netage is universally acknowledged to be one of the most
splendid volumes that ever issued from the press. The
extent of its information is indeed surprising. The
lineage of each distinguished house it records is deduced
through all the various ramifications. Every collateral
branch, however remotely connected, is introduced, and
the alliances are so carefully inserted as to show in all
instances the connexion which so intimately exists be-
tween the titli'd and untitled aristocracy. We have also
much entertaining historical matter, and many very
curious and interesting family traditions. The work is,
in fact, a complete cyclopedia of the whole titled classes
of the empire, supplying all the information that can
possibly be desired on the subject."
HEAVY SNOW ON THE MOUNTAINS.--The Black
Mountains in our vicinity have been so deeply covered
with snow, that several farmers have been obliged to
send men up in the early part of the week, to cut the
sheep out of the snow-wreaths, a circumstance rarely
known to occur in the month of March. On Tuesday
se'nnight the snow was a

POLAND.

POSEN, MARCH 26.—The cxerman National Corn-
mittee has issued the two following proclamations :
" To our Polish Fellow- Citizens in the Grand Duchy of

Posen.

" Fellow-Citizens,—Patriotism is the most precious
possession of a nation, hence all who are animated by
this feeling, every German and nation of Europe have
the liveliest sympathyin the restoration of your political
freedom.

" 1)o not, however, attempt to reap before the harvest
is ripe. Numerous cases have occurred in which, with
armed superiority, you have threatened and endangered
the personal safety of your German fellow-citizens.
Ponder it well, and remember that such deeds of disho-
nourable violence are a stai❑ upon your nation.
" You weaken the sympathy which is felt for your
cause in Germany and in Europe at large, by placing
obstacles in the way of the noblest men of ycur nation,
who are endeavouring, with every feeling of honour
and moderation, to pave the way for the restoration of
your independence. Abstain, therefore, from every
breach of the public peace, which can only prove detri-
mental to your cause, and combine in aiding those who
are associating for the furtherance of your cause.
" We address these words especially to those among
you who are men of a reflecting mind, and to you who
are men of peace, and from the altar and the pulpit
teach your fellow-citizens by word and by deed how
they must combine their sentiments of patriotism with
the duties of prudence, morality, and faith."

Several political prisoners, among whom is Dr.
MATECICI, a man universally esteemed, have arrived
here within the last few days from Berlin. They
have all been received with the same honours as those
who preceded them.
_

The intelligence from the provinces is more satis-
factory. It is true that some excesses—such as
plundering, personal insult, &c., have taken place in
some of the villages, but in nearly every place the
combined efforts. of the well-disposed speedily re-
stored order.

Advices have arrived from Lemberg (Galicia) of
the date of the 22d, which announce that a great
popular demonstration took place there on the 19th.
The people demanded a constitution, the liberty of
the press, a general amnesty, the national guard, the
adoption of the Polish language, and that the Em-
peror of AUSTRIA should take the title of King of
POLAND. Count STADION undertook to transmit
these demands to the EMPEROR.

On the 22d a courier from Vienna brought the
reply of the EMPEROR.

Two hours after the students, the pupils of the
School of Arts and Manufactures, followed by an
immense crowd, went to the Governor's Palace. The
Count STADION read from the balcony the answer of
the EMPEROR, which is in substance as follows :
" 1. Arms shall be distributed to the people on con-
dition that they shall only use them against the enemies
of the country.
"2. The Emperor to bo proclaimed King of Poland.'
"3. Political and civil equality to be decreed: the
Germans and Jews to be considered as natives."

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, of the 25th, states that in-
telligence received from Pomerania and Brandeburg
shows that these countries are opposed to what
has been done at Berlin. A proclamation has been
published in Pomerania, protesting in strong terms
against the right arrogated to itself by the ca-
pital to demand concessions and cause the sol-
diers to be sent away, without the co- operation
of the provinces. In consequence deputies, it says,
are to be named on the 17th of April, to proceed
oil the 18th to Berlin, and declare to the Presidents of
the Burgesses-Ist, that Pomerania does not acknow-
ledge their right to act as they have done. 2d, that
she has seen with regret the massacre of the troops,
who only obeyed the KING'S order. 3d, to demand
from the said Presidents if they are inclined to return
to their sentiments of fidelity to the KING, and if they
wish to co-operate with Pomerania in restoring order
in the country.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.)
IN nE G. GRAVES.
This bankrupt, who was described as of Norton Fol-
gate, cheesemunger, came up to pass his last examina-
tion. He was opposed by Mr. Dods on behalf of the
assignees, and was supported by Mr. Lawrence.
The balance sheet which extended over seventeen
months, showed that the returns of the business had
been upwards of 10,000/.; but the profits had only
been 191.
His HONOUR expressed his astonishment that such a
business could only yield such a small profit.
The bankrupt attributed his losses to the failure of the
potato crop, which had materially affected the bacon
trade, and he had been compelled to sell at a loss.
Mr. LAWRENCE said the books had been well kept,
and the bankrupt started with a capital of 7001.
His HONOR said it was most reckless trading, but that
was a question for the certificate.
The bankrupt then passed his examination.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

The following private letter was published in the
Second Edition of the Hull Packet yesterday. It
came by the steamer llamburgh, which entered in
the Humber yesterday morning :

" HAMBURGET, MARCH 28

" Things look very black. The Danes prepare for
war, and the German Confederation haring taken the
quarrel up, a complete panic reigns at our Exchange.
It is feared that the Danes will blockade the Sound and
Belt, and seize all German vessels. All shipments from
the Baltic must, consequently, cease immediately, as also
from Denmark and Holstein. 12,000 Danes are said to
be preparing to march into Schleswig. Several vessels
on their way through the Belt have not been allowed to
pass, and have gone back to Lubec. All the seamen in
merchant vessels in Denmark will be pressed; a good
many have already deserted their vessels to enter the
navy. It is, indeed, a most disastrous time."
Another letter says

" We informed you before that we expected Prussian
troops to pass through hero to Holstein. They are,
however, stopped until the Provisional Government in
Holstein effectually require their assistance, which vie
suppose will be on the Danes commencing warlike steps,
and then the King of Hanover will also be compelled to
send his troops to the assistance of Holstein.
" If the Danes should effectually take hostile mea-
sures, without which they will most assuredly lose the
province of Schleswig, we may then expect they will
immediately set their navy in activity, and place some of
their gun-boats in our river Elbe. We expect news from
Copenhagen to-morrow, when IN e shall perhaps hear the
effect which this Provisional Government in Holstein has
made on the King."

FASHIONS FOR APRIL.

(From the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of
Fashion.)
All silk materials now assume a lighter tint, an-
nouncing the approach of spring, and suitable either
for day or candle light ; many are of green glaci
and brocl in a paler shade, light blue plaids on
narrow grounds ; checks of groseille colour on
gray glace, with white shaded taffetas figured in sprigs
and large checks in white cerise and blue on a deep blue
ground; each material has its peculiar style of lace;
application, for tulle; Angleterre on satin; Alencon on
velvet; and for neglige Valenciennes and Mechlin.

In ball dresses three and even four skirts are worn of
tulle or crape, and of taffetas d'ltalie, pink, blue, or
white, with flounces entirely covering the skirt; the
corsages continue pointed ; the new pelerines for
evening wear, are with long narrow ends, edged
with lace, put on a little full; these ends are in-
tended to go round the waist and tie behind in
the style of the Autoinettes ; there is also another
style of cannezous, forming demi berthe, termed is la
Roland, which is made of point lace, embroidered
muslin, or lace laid on. The round crowns termed
jokeys are fashionable for bonnets, and the newest
form is rather more open, and much ornamented
with flowers ; the capotes termed Dolores, and an-
other boigneuse, are amongst the novelties of the mo-
ment. Satin bonnets are sometimes ornamented by a
scarf of black lace, placed two or three times round the
ends, falling at the side of the crowns demi rondos.
Capotes of white colours are lined with white.
The caps worn, both in evening and neglig6, are
pretty, the form is round, small, and flat, the orna-
ments varying according to fancy. Many small
coiffures are made up of half squares of Brussels lace;
the Yalliere is composed of lappets of lace falling at
at the back of the head without concealing the hair.
Pretty evening caps are made of pink crape, covered
with lace, having a rose and small green foliage in front:
pretty neglig4;; caps are made of tulle, edged with lace,
and trimmed with narrow pink and black velvet ribbon;
pretty little turbans are made of laird, crape lissee,
velours Aping* and damas, embroidered in silver and
gold; they are placed very backward on the head, leav-
ing the ears uncovered.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

ROME Cl RCUlT.—ltingston, March 31.
CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
Caroline Pratt, 22, was 'indicted for concealing the
litirth of her male illegitimate child.
.1 The prisoner was committed for the murder of the
infant in question, but the grand jury ignored the bill.
Mr. • Robinson prosecuted, and Mr. Charnock de-
tended the prisoner.
It appeared in evidence that the accused was in the
service of a family at Baustead, and in September last,
in consequence of a suspicion that she was in the family
tvay, the person of the prisoner was examined, and on
ter being taxed with having a child, she at first denied
t, but at length admitted that it was so, and, according
o the evidence of one witness, she at the same time said
that she had thrown the infant into the water closet. A
bearch-was made in the place indicated, and there the
ody of a male child was discovered, which, according
to the evidence of the surgeon was full grown, and,
there was some reason to believe, had been brought into
the world alive.

Mr. CHARNOCK made a very feeling and forcible ap-
peal to -the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and coin-
biented upoa the misery that resulted to young women
In her situation in life, after Raving become the victim of
Is seducer, and he urged that it was
ible the child
plight have come into the position in which it was found
poss
by natural means, and without any guilty act on the part
of the accused.

Mr. Justice COLERIDGE having summed up,
The jury returned a verdiottof Not Guilty.
The business on this side .was concluded about half-
past twelve o'clock, and his .Lordship then commenced
,taking common jury cases, and will continue to do so
Until the list is gone through.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Loid DENMAN and Special
Jusisa.)

THP sunnEr IRON RAILWAYICOMPANT V. CEAPLIN.
This was an action brought by the proprietors of the
--kaa--tram-way between Croydound T.7sndsworth, to
compel the performance of an agreement by the de-
fendant and a gentleman named Humphreys, for the
purchase of their line. _ _ _

- Sergeant Shee and Mr. Peacock were for the plaintiff,
and Sergeant Channel' for the defendant.
The evidence in this case was purely of a technical
character. It appeared that in 1845 there was a nego-
tiation for the purchase of the tramway in question, there
being at that time some intention of using it as a link to
connect the South-Western and the Brighton Railways.
that project, however, was abandoned, and it seemed
that only a portion of the agreed purchase money was
paid, and the present action was brought to enforce the
original agreement.
The jury found for the plaintiffs.
