PRUSSI A.

The workmen employed in making the canal out-
side the gates of Berlin assembled on the 13th, to
destroy the hydraulic machine, under the idea that if
that were destroyed there would be more employment
for manual labour. They succeeded in destroying
the machine, and at the same time in depriving them-
selves of employment, for the waters rushed in,
and cannot be drawn out again until the machine
shall have been reconstructed and set to work.

GEORGE AND GEORGIANA•—The Christian name of
the deceased Earl of Carlisle was George, the Countess
of Carlisle's is Georgiana, and " George" formed a part
of the Christian name of each of their six sons, and

John Brown and John King were charged with
being in the possession of a handsome stove, with all
its appurtenances, and a number of brass door-handles,
without being enabled to give a satisfactory account
of the same. . _ _

Police-constable 111 K, said he was on duty in the
Cambridge-road last evening, at about eight o'clock,
when he observed the prisoners proceeding with the
stove, &c. He followed, and asked them where they
had obtained what they were carrying. They replied
that they had found it. Witness then conveyed them
to the station-house, and, besides the stove, &c., the
articles above-mentioned were found upon them.
King subsequently acknowledged that the property
found upon them had been stolen. Witness had no
doubt whatever that the property alluded to was the
produce of a robbery committed at one of the large
uninhabited houses in the neighbourhood of the
Cambridge-road.
The prisoners now said that they found the pro-
perty on Cambridge-heath.

THE SeN,

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
RAILWAY TRAFFIC FOR 1847.
__

It appears that the traffic on railways in the United
Kingdom, during the year 1847, amounts to about
8,950;000/., being an increase over that of the pre.
cedinc, year of 1,285,000/., or nearly 17 per cent.
The aggregate length of railway over which the
traffic was conveyed in the first month of 1847 was.
about 2,710 miles, and in the last month of that year
about 3,420 miles. Taking the average length of
railway for the year at 3,100 miles, it would give
2,8871. as the average traffic per mile per annum.
RAILWAYS OPENDDIN 1847.

The following is a list of the railways opened in
1847 :—Aberdeen, 20 miles; Birkenhead, Lancashire,
and Cheshire, of a mile; Caledonian, 40 miles ;
Cockermouth and Workington, 8,4 miles; Dublin
and Drogheda (Howth branch) miles; Dun-
dee, Perth, and Aberdeen Junction, 201 miles;
Edinburgh and Glasgow, 5 miles ; Edinburgh
and Northern, 29 miles; Eastern Counties, 26k;
Eastern Union, 34 ; Glasgow and Ayr, 13
miles ; Great Southern and Western, 56i miles ;
Great Western, 35 miles; Kendal and Windermere,
101 miles ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 14 mile ; Lon-
donderry and Enniskillen, 15 miles ' • London and
North-Western, 50 miles ; London, Brighton, and
South Coast, 39i miles ; London and South-Western,
SS miles ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire,
2 miles ; Midland, 31 miles; Midland Great Western
(Irish), 36 miles; Norfolk, 23 miles; Shrewsbury
and Chester, 6 miles; South-Eastern, 15 miles;
South Devon, 81 miles ; Taff Vale (Aberdare line),
10 miles; Whitehaven Junction, 12 miles; York,
Newcastle, and Berwick, 72 miles ; and the York
and North Midland, 48 miles. The aggregate length
of new railway opened for traffic in the United
Kingdom during the year 1847 appears to be 750
miles—of which 516 miles are in England, 127
miles in Scotland, and 108 miles in Ireland. It is
estimated that there are now about 150 miles of rail-
way, independent of the above, nearly ready to open
for traffic.

These companies have called up about 22,230,0001.
during the year 1847.

THE BISHOP OP OXFORD AND DR.
lIAMI'DEN.

Bishop Wilberforce has addressed the following
letter to Dr. Hampden :
" Cuddesdon Palace, Dcc. 28.

"Reverend and dear Sir,—What has passed re-
cently between us obliges me to mark in some detail
the steps by which I have reached the conclusion
which I desire to lay before you. And since, under
the advice of your legal directors, you are led to de-
cline all direct communication on the subject, I am
further compelled to address you thus publicly.
" You are aware that when your nomination to the
see of Hereford was first announced by common ru-
mour, I thought it my painful duty to represent to
the head of her Majesty's Government the Inconve-
nience which in my judgment would arise from the
completion of the rumoured appointment. This re-
presentation was grounded on the censure of the
University of Oxford, and on the wile prevalence of
a strong opinion of the unsoundness of some of your
published writings. It did not assume the justice of
this opinion. My desire—and that I believe of
others—was that an opportunity should be afforded
you of publicly refuting these charges before
your nomination to the office of a bishop.
The representation, however, produced no such
effect, and the apprehensions and alarm which had
been foreseen by those who signed it were speedily
displayed. As one of their consequences, addresses
numerously signed were presented by the clergy and
laity to the Archbishop and Bishops, praying that all
legal steps might be taken to prevent your consecra-
tion until the matters alleged against you had been
brought to solemn decision. But in my own case
more was done. As rector of the rectory of Ewelme,
in this diocese, you were placed under my jurisdic-
tion. This, it was thought, afforded an opportunity
for obtaining an adjudiciation on the question under
the provisions of the Clergy Discipline Bill. I was

THE ZOLLVEREIN

TION VERSUS FREE TRADE.

(Continued from The Sun of Thursday.)
11.

NO W that we have brought the new system into
Somse shape, we shall be better able to judge with
some) certainty concerning its influence on the diffe-
rent branches of industry. It may be objected to the
present inquiry, that, being exclusively limited to
the consideration of one particular form of the navi-
gatio n-law, it has acquired an appearance of one-
isided.ness, and we may be blamed for having dwelt
upon certain given relations only, while other
combivations might equally well have been sup-
posed; it may be said that the existing laws
tuf foreign states are not irrevocable, and that
the states, according to the union, would be at
liberty to have recourse to other measures than those
Teserved in the draft of the treaty, and alluded to in
the preceding section, Objections of this kind
would, however, render a searching investigation of
the proposed plan impossible, for strictures on one
measure proposed may always be met by the re-
mark, that others might be substituted, and it would
then only remain to prove in general the utility or
inutility of differential duties. To do this would, how-
ever, be worse than superfluous, for there is not a
manual of political economy in which this question
is not discussed, and several publications of an
exclusive character have of late appeared, in which it
has been considered in all respects. It is contended
that political economy does not deserve the name of
t science, because it does not possess general and
comprehensive principles, and because what it teaches
with regard to one country, very often cannot be ap-
plied to other countries and to other times. The
latter assertion is, at all events, true, and there-
fore the examination of a proposed measure
of political economy, and still more of a whole
complicated system of such measures, must be
undertaken with reference to certain given re-
lations,
,unless one would enter upon the her-
culean labour of examining them in all the imaginable
changes they may undergo, and applying them to all
imaginable cases. At least when the question to be
decided is the expediency of a navigation-law for
Germany, it is not possible to avoid putting forward
some particular case as an example ; and certainly
none could be more to the point than one taking for
its basis the most liberal of the plans as yet pro-
pounded (namely, the project mentioned in our intro-
duction), and in connexion with this the existing
relations between the states concerned. _ _

ITALY.

TURIN.
The Chamber of Deputies at Turin decided on the
21st in favour of a motion for the prolongation of
the armistice with Austria. The Central German
Power has, it is said, proposed the following as a
settlement of the Italian question :—That Lombardy
should remain attached to the Imperial Crown of
Austria, but that it might at the same time form
part of the Italian Diet, which the King of SARDINIA
wishes to create, in conjunction with the Porn and
the Grand Duke of TUSCANY. In this way Lombardy
would hold the same relation to Italy that the Duchy
of Luxembourg holds to Germany.
It is considered as by no means improbable that
the question may be arranged on this basis, indeed
the Breslau Gazette states that news had been received
that peace bad been concluded with Italy, under the
mediation of England and France, Lombardy still
to belong to Austria, but to have a separate consti-
tution and its nationality acknowledged. The Ger-
man troops are to be withdrawn from Italy.

A FE W WORDS ON RAILWAY

BUSINESS.
TO THE EDIT OR OF THE SUN.

Siu,—Punch of to-day gives a representaticn of
the bees stinging the bear, might he not improve
upon it by a little mythological license of stags con-
verted into " Bears," and those writhing under the
sting of your remarks ? Those animals, from letters
in my possession, are not so easy in their minds as
they were a few days ago, and I fancy if the parties
who hold shares as Eec ur ity for advances would cease
to press them on the market, the " Bears" would
have to " disgorge" part of what they have latterly
acquired. I fear, however, that such is the desire of
bankers and others, from the cloud that hangs over
all railway accounts, to realise at whatever sacrifice
to their clients, that the "Bears," with the facilities they
possess, will, before the termination of the account,
hare things nearly their own way.
As a practical man, I have done much to break
down the advantages possessed by the "Bears," but with
the present trammels of legislatve enactments, I do
not comprehend how even the London Stock Ex-
change could " smooth" the way " down" to meet
the present crying evil. The real broker has already
done much, and must have sacrificed greatly to meet
the wishes of his customers—perhaps one way would
be to adopt a rule once attempted to be carried out
by a provincial exchange, to this effect, that all con-
tracts, the shares for which were not delivered within
fourteen days after the account day, should be null
and void at the option of the buyer.
I am, yours truly,

HUNGARY.

The Hungarian Diet has issued the following
decree, dated Oct. 10, 1848, on the subject of the
Hungarian troops in foreign countries :
" Our dear, bleeding country, reckoning, in its su-
preme struggle :for its safety and existence, upon the
patriotic assistance of its children, the National Assem-
bly decrees and orders, in the name of the country:—
" All the Hungarian soldiers stationed in Italy, in
Bohemia, in Moravia, and in Gallicia, or in any other
foreign country, shall return to their native country, to
take part in its defence of its constitutional liberty,
legally sanctioned by the royal oath. Confiding in its
certain hope the Hungarian nation counts upon the
brave Hungarian soldiers surmounting every obstacle,
even to cutting their way by arms, to fly to the succour
of their friends and their brethren. The Hungarian
nation, proud that her children have driven the rebel
Jellachien from her soil, waits Nyitia open 411113 her kayo

childreu returning from abroad, and invites them to a
share in, the glory and gratitude of the country.
" PAUL ASMASY,
" Vice-President of the National Assembly.
" JEAN LUDVIGH, Secretary."
The following is from a letter, dated Pesth, Oc-
tober 17:—

" News has just reached us that the Hungarians
have seized the fortresses of Leopoldstadt and Mun-
gatz. The revolt of the Valaques in Transylvania
has been put down by the Tscheches. URBAN has
fled, and three Noblemen and a Bishop have been
hung. The rebel RAETZES has been defeated near
Neubesec.

" Koss UTII will depart to-morrow for the army, with
a powerful landsturm as a reserve. General Sato-
WITZ, who had come from Gallicia, is fled, and more
than half his army were slain by the peasants."

Captains Tarry, Barroir, Ribancourt, Perrelle, al id
several other officer!, visited this ancient corps, and wi
flossed the drill, under the direction of Sergeant-Major
Hurls, of the Coldstream Guards ; afterwards a di s-
play of fencing, single stick, and, as a wind-up, a Little
English boxiana with the gloves ; at all of whic h
they expressed themselves much pleased. Owin g
to the shortness of the notice of their intentio n
to visit the Armoury House there had been a o
time to prepare any entertainment for them, b*t, wadi r
the orders of Major Barnard, a supper was hastily pi% ,-
vided, at which several toasts, all tending to the num ,t
friendly and cordial feeling between the two nation 1,
were drunk. That of the Queen was proposed in Eft
gent language by Major Chobier, and responded to wit
the greatest enthusiasm. A most cordial invitation Iva s
given to the corps to return the visit at Paris, and tit e
meeting broke up with mutual feelings of satisfaction al 3 d
pleasure.
