SOMETHING LIKE A PIE.

In the centre stood, or rather towered, a vast pie,
which was surrounded with minor attractions, such as
tongues, fowls, collars, and marmalades, just as a great
planet is attended by a body-guard of satellites. Bat as
Jupiter excels his moons, so did that pie surpass collars,
fowls, and tongues in magnitude and glory. That was a
pie indeed!—a subject for hymn and history, a pie to be
held in such reverence as Mohammedans pay the Caaba,
or Christians the chapel of Loretto. Evidently the pro-
duction of a great artist, a Palladio of pastry, or a Wren
of cooks. It was more an Acropolis or a temple than a
pie, worthy of being served to a Lord Abbot, amidst
anthems; not made to be opened with knife of Sheffield,
but carved with blade of Toledo or Damascus. It might
have been considered as a Poem, a composition of talent
and turkeys, of genius and grouse. Into such a pie was
it that Bion,
the philosopher, wished himself meta-
morphosed, that wisdom, in his form, might capti7ate
the sons of men. Stubbles had been thrashed, corers
ransacked, woods depopulated, and preserves destroyed,
to furnish forth its mighty concave. It was a pie urder
whose dome you would have washed to live, or been eon•
tent to die. Appetite grew by feeding on it; its very
sight was better than to eat aught else eatable. It
dilated the soul and exalted the character to be in the
same room with so noble a creation of gastronomic
mind."

TIIE MIND of AN ?CP.
" The minds of scholars are libraries ; those of
those
anti-
quaries, lumber-rooms ; of sportsmen, kennels ;
those of epicures, larders and cellars; but the mind of
Upton was an office. It had been an attorney's office
formerly ; it was a Parliamentary office now. His
knowledge was of Hansard ; his reading of blue books ;
his memory of Totes and standing orders. It was a
pigeon-holed, alphabeted mind ; as full of bills and
reports as the scrutoire of the Abbe de Sieyes was of
constitutions. The common associations of Upton's
ideas were of red tape, the finer ones of green ribbon."

THE GIRTH or A PLURALIST DEAN.
" When he first imparadised himself at Richmond, he
measured not more than a yard and a half in the girth,
not by any means an unreasonable circumference for an
ecclesiastic of his rank and fortune; but a life of ease
and itlxury, passed between the couch and the table,
rapidly increased his bulk: at the end of the third year
his tailor raised his prices; at the close of the fourth the
buxom dignitary
saw. 1,-,!s knees for the last time; and
ere a fifth had expired, it was a favourite frolic of his
wife's merry nieces (the S. myly girls), to span him with
their united arms ; and
it was not without considerable
effort—at least so they pretended—that the tips of their
fingers were brought into contact."

STATE OF—TIH=DE.
MANCHESTER, FEB. 29.—The sudden and startlinbusiness,g
political convulsion in France, and the uncertainty which
it has created as to the state of future international rela-
tions, have caused an almost entire cessation of bu
unless the countermanding of orders previously given
can be included in that term. We understand that
great difficulties have been thrown in the way of Ship_
ments, especially to the Mediterranean, by the enormous
rates charged for insurance, when required to cover the
risk of capture. We learn that as much as ten and
twelve guineas per cent. have been demanded,
_and
_ paid for the insurance cargoes to Italian ports, wh!ch
were previously done at 'about 40s. This high
rate will, of course, put a stop to purchases for
that quarter of the world. We understand, also, that
some of the Greek merchants, who were previously
amongst the heaviest buyers in the market, have expe-
rienced inconvenience from having their funds invested
in bills on France, which, under existing circumstances,
may not be available to meet their engagements; and a
considerable number of orders on Greek account are
stated to have been countermanded. The sudden
suspension of business arising from these causes has, of
eourse, tended greatly to diminoinshet,ohderuection. We un-

William Butcher, a young man of short stature, but
powerful frame, was brought up for final examina
tion on a charge of having plundered the goods train
on the South• Western Railway, on two separate occa-
sions, of a chest of coffee and a truss of silk and woollen
goods.

Evidence having boen given,
The prisoner declined making any defence, and was
fully committed for trial at the assizes to be holden at
Kingston.

The prisoner was next charged with stealing a truss
of silk and woollen goods that had :::een forwarded, on
the sth ult., from a Mauchester warehouse in Friday-
street, to Mr. Hattou, a draper, at Ringwood.
The prisoner said he would prove, on his trial, that
ho bought the articles then produced of a Jew in Petti-
coat-lane.
The numerous witnesses were then bound over in this
case to appear against the prisoner at the forthcoming
assist/8 for Surrey.

" CITY OF BRUSSELS.

" The Burghermaster being determined to put an
end to the riotous meetings which took place yester-
day in different parts of the town, and to prevent
all attacks on good order or the public peace, in ac-
cordance with the 94th article of the municipal law
directs that—

" 1. All meetings of more than five in the public
streets are forbidden.

"2. Any person assembling in contravention of
the preceding notice must disperse at the first sum-
mons from the authorities ; in case of refusal they
will be compelled, and will incur the penalties of the
law.

" 3. This order will be enforced immediately after
its publication.
" CHEVR. WYNS, Burghermaster.
" Brussels, Feb. 28."
The peace of the city has not since been dis-
turbed.

The Ministry have published a project of electord
reform, which seems to give satisfaction to al
parties.

We are informed by a letter from Bologas, dated
the 18th ult., that the communications of the Roman
States with Lombardy are interrupted. Since the
16th the Austrian Government has ordered the with-
drawal of all the barges, and has cut off all the bridges
of Layoscuro and of Francolino on the Po. This im-
portant news forbodes serious events.
At Faenza, and at Forli, in the Romagna, public
tranquillity has been disturbed. It is reported that
many of the inhabitants have been killed and
wounded.

The constitution has been proclaimed at Rome.

The general committee of Palermo has named a
commission charged to disburse, in the name of
the public gratitude, indemnities to the citizens and
the families who have suffered the most by fighting
for their country. . _

On the Bth ult. the Deputies of Messina, who have
been sent in permanent mission to the general com-
mittee of Palermo, were introduced to the meeting,
and one of them, addressing Admiral RUGGIERO
SZTTIMO, pronounced the following noble words :.
"If the whole sacrifice of the people of Messina
be requisite to the triumph of the Sicilian cause, if
Palermo think it to be necessary, Alessina is deter-
mined to encounter utter destruction by bombard-
ment, and to face with joy the greatest misfortunes."
An unanimous shout of enthusiasm and emotion
re echoed in the hall of the sitting of the General
Committee ; they all offered to go and share the
dangers of their brethren of Messina, and either to
triumph or to die under the walls of the fortress.
the President then expressed, in the name of the
general committee and the people, the feelings of the
liveliest gratitude, assuring the Deputies that the fate
and devotion of the Messinese was deeply engraved
in their heart.

The whole of Sicily is animated by one sole thought,
namely, to assure her independence, and the institu-
tions she requires.
The 10th ult. was destined for the reception of the
Deputies of Syracuse, whose fortress is still occupied
by the Royalists. The Deputies of Syracuse made
their appearance in the hall of the sittings with a flag
in their hands, on which was written, "We swear
never to separate from this banner." " Palermitans,"
then said the chief of the Syracusians, "dispose
of us as you think proper. Let us be led where the

ATKINS V. MARQUIS OF NORTHAMPTON.

This was an action for nuisance, brought by the plain-
tiff, who formerly carried on the business of a nursery-
man, but has since retired on his property. The real
defendants were the Governors, &c., of the Northamp-
ton Lunatic Asylum, and the nuisance complained of
was the smoke produced from a chimney, and also from
the presence of certain pig-sties closely adjacent to the
pleasure-grounds of Mr. Atkins.
The ease for the plaintiff was proceeding, when
Mr. WHITHURST intimated he could not struggle with
the case making against him.
A verdict was accordingly taken for the plaintiff-
40s. and costs.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
NEW COURT.

(Before the COMMON SERGEANT and Aldermen CHALLIS
and Embus.)
James Wright, 27, was indicted for having stolen three
pair of trowsers, value 555., and other articles, value 10L,
the property of Joseph Baxendale, and others.
Mr. PRENDERGAST, for the prosecution, stated that the
prosecutors were the well-known railway carriers,
Messrs. Pickford and Co. The Learned Gentleman
shortly stated the facts of the case, which clearly estab-
lished the prisoner's guilt. A policeman saw him with
several parcels in his possession, and giving a very un-
satisfactory account of them, he was detained, and it was
discovered that the goods had been stolen from one of
Messrs. Pickford's vans.

This being proved in evidence,
The prisoner was called upon for his defence. He
said that a man hired him to carry the parcels.
The COMMON SERJEANT—Gentlemen of the jury, if
you believe what he says, acquit him; if you do not,
you'll convict him. Consider your verdict, gentlemen.
The laconic mode of summing up caused considerable
laughter in Court.

The jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The, COMMON SERGEANT said it was evident Ova this
species of offence was only committed by experienced
thieves. The prisoner was sentenced to be kept to hard
labour for six months.

Christian Ryle, a German journeyman baker, was in-
dicted for stenhug, and Caroline Louisa Byte, his
wife, was charged with receiving, well knowing to have
been stolen, a great quantity of flour, the property of J.
B. Hurst.

Mr. Payne was for thu prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson
fur the defence.

The prisoner was in th© prosecutor's employ, and
had availed himself of means to carry off considerable
quantities of flour. It was proved that he admitted the
theft, and begged for mercy.

SHARPE'S LONDON MAGAZINE,

After commencing the new year with singular
ability as an illustrated periodical, Sharpe is be-
ginning to relax its energies, and to degenerate into
a cheap publication, sprinkled (we cannot say " em-
bellished ") with very coarse and indifferent wood
engravings. There is no abatement, however, in the
excellence of the letter-press, and the editorial super-
vision seems to be continued with undiminished dili-
gence.

STANIFORD BOROUGH. _ .

The report was brought up of the General Committee
of Elections, nominating thy following Mernb,-rs to try
the merits of the Stamford eltc;ion :—Sir T. F. Lewis
(chairman), Mr. W. P. Wood, Mr. J. Stuart Wortley,
Lord H. Vane, Sir J. W. Hogg, Mr. Ellice, Sir J.

Pakington, Mr. florsman, and Mr. Ilinley.
SENTENCE ON MR. MITCHEL.

Mr. E. B. ROCHE—Sir, se,ing the Right lion.
Baronet the Secretary for the Hume Department in bis
place, I wish to ask him a question. The House is
aware that Mr. Mitchel has been tried, convicted, and
sentenced. He has since been treated in a way
that would not have been justified even in the case
of the commonest convict.—(Hear, hear.) He has
been hurried away from his friends and from
his family.— (Cries of " Order, order.") Well
then, to be briet, my question is simply this, whether it
is the intention of her Majesty's Government to carry
out in its fullest vipur this cruelly disproportionate and
unjust sentence?

Sir GEORGE GREY—I will say nothing about the
epithets with which the Hon. Gentleman accompanie,
this question. If I uLderstand him rightly, what he
means is this, whether the senteace passed upon
Mr. Mitchel will be carried into execution. If
that be so, I have to inform the Honourable Gentleman
that instructions have already been given for carrying
that sentence into eff ct.—(Opposition cheers.)

MARKET NEW Tills DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
A very limited supply of English Wheat has been
received up to our market this week. To-day the show
of samples was trifling; yet the demand for all descrip-
tions was in a very sluggish state, at barely Monday's
reduced currencies, and at which a clearance was not
effected. Foreign Wheats—the import of which has
been 8,920 quarters—moved off slowly, and the out-of-
condition parcels were somewhat easier to purchase.
Scarcely any English Barley was on offer, but the show
of Foreign was on the increase. The trade was heavy,
but we can notice no further decline in value. In Ain't
next to nothing was doing,
yet prices were fairly sup-
ported. No arrivals of Oats have taken place from Ire-
land during the last tea days; yet the Oat trade was
dull, at late currencies. Both Beans and Peas, as well
as Indian Corn and Meal, were quite as dear. In Flour
we have no change to report.

Marshal Count Hoyos has just presented the address of
the Ministerial Council to me, drawn up by them on the
night of the 7th. I can only repeat that the city of
Vienna has of late shown such a change fur the worse in
its once loyal sentiments towards me and my ancestora,
that I found it necessary to leave it for a time, and I
shall not go back there until I am fully convinced that
it has returned to its formes loyalty. I charge the Mi

FRANKFORT.

The German Parliament met on Friday ; H. V.
GAGERN in the chair.

A motion was made for the urgent necessity of a
Committee being immediately formed for deliberation
on the Sclavonic movement in Germany.—Referred to
the Constitution Committee.

The Committee for consideration of the motion of
Mr. RAVEAUX, Member for Cologne, and 22 analogous
motions from other Members, regarding " the in-
fluence of the decisions of the German National
Constituent Assembly on the Constitution of the
individual German States," not being able to agree
by an absolute majority how the question should be
brought before the House, now present it in four diffe-
rent shapes. Six of the Members offer it in this form:—
" The National Constituent Assembly, as the organ
of the whole German people, for the establishment of
a constitution having for its objects the unity and
political freedom of Germany, declare, that all points
in German constitutions which, after the completion
of the general constitution, do not agree with it,
shall be altered and brought into unison with the
German constitution." Two of the other forms are
very similar. The third, which is signed by four
Members, states, " that believing the German states
which in some particular constitutional points do not
agree with the general German constitution when
finished, will of themselves alter them, therefore vote
for the order of the day."
M. REYEAUY then rose and went into a long dis-
cussion on the comparative merits of the three dif-
ferent ways of stating the same thing, and said he
agreed on the whole with a form which had the
signature of one of the Committee.
A lengthy debate ensued and the House was left
sitting.
London, England, 1848-05-31

PRUSSIA.

The Preuissiche Staats Anzeiger publishes in a
supplement of sixteen columns the debate in the
second sitting of the Prussian Assembly. The sit-
ting was entirely occupied with the election returns,
a subject of purely local interest. M. MILD, of
Breslau, had been elected President of the Prussian
Assembly.

There have been some slight disturbances in Ber-
lin, excited by the opponents of the return of the
Prince of Paves's.

The Aix-la-Chapelle Gazette, which is widely
circulated in the Rhenan provinces, contains an ar-
ticle in favour of the Prince of PRUSSIA. It asserts
—l. That immediately after the 24th of February
his Royal Highness waited on the KING, and urged
him to grant forthwith a constitution based on the
broadest principle, but that he was refused. 2.
That he strongly objected to the employment of
troops in the streets, especially of the Guards, and
proposed, should troops be required, to call out for
this purpose the Landwehr, who might be consi
dered as the nearest link between the army and the
people. This also was overruled; it being objected
that no confidence could be placed in the Landwehr
for the suppression of popular tumults. From that
day forth, says the Aix Journal, his Royal Highness
never offered an opinion, but resigned the command-
in•chief of the guards a few days after (13th March),
that is six days before the night of the revolution.
Mean while addresses, or notices in favour of his
Royal Highness's return, are coming in from all di-
rections, and it is supposed that numerous petitions to
this effect will be presented to the Chambers.

A notice from the Minister of Finance, addressed
to the principal houses connected with the wool trar?e
in Silicia, states that the Royal Seehandlungs Com-
pany will not only continue to facilitate transactions
to the best of its power during the coming wool fairs
of Breslau and Berlin, but that it will accept the bills
of English wool dealers drawn on secure London
banking- houses.

REPUBLICAN
From 1790 to 1801.

By 1)r. MILLINGEN.

This work is full of the most interesting details and vivid p ic-
Ares of the Revolution of 1790. It is a book which everybody must
read. It is full of anecdote and the most interesting matter of every
kind."—Sunday Times.
" Dr. Millingeu's work gives us true and correct conceptions of the
revolutionary era, and is extremely valuable as a commentary on the
works of Thiers and Lamartine."—Britannia.

ANOTHER AFFRAY WITH THE

POLICE AND CHARTISTS.

Last night a considerable number of the Chartists met,
according to previous arrangement, upon Clerkenwell-
green, and, after the delivery of several violent speeches,
the orators left the mob to walk in procession, as they
did the previous night. The intention of the authorities
having been made known to the several parties that the
procession would be broken up, at all hazards, had the
effect of deterring the rabble from patrolling the public
thoroughfares, as they did on Monday night. Instead,
however, of quietly dispersing they continued to congre-
gate on the Green, and for three or four hours the ut-
most noise and confusion prevailed. Some of the more
mischievous amused themselves by throwing stones and
groaning at the police.
The police having received information of what was
going on, a great number of mounted constables, with
several sections of the toot, were ordered off to clear the
Green. They had no sooner made their appearance than
they were assailed with groans and hisses, with cries of
" down with the police," &c. The mob was ordered
to clear, but instead of so doing, they set up a most
hideous howl. The men were then ordered to clear the
ground, and having drawn their truncheons, they
marched in amongst the crowd. Here the conduct of
the rabble was most violent, and to get the crowd back,
the police were obliged to resort to violent measures.
Several persons were knocked down by the police, and
it is to be regretted that net a few, through their own
imprudence, were severely injured. '
Notwithstanding the police were endeavouring to do
all they could to clear the ground of the rabble, the
parties resolutely refused to move beyond the end of the
various thoroughfares, when, all of a sudden, the light
caused by the fir.- at Whitechapel was seen in the air.
a hen the parties scampered off in hundreds, and in the
course of a lew minutes the place was e‘implet.2ly
cleared, and the pollee returned to their several quarter:.
' The must stringent measures will be resorted to by
the Commissioners of Police to prevent any of the
intended Chartist processions front passing through the
public streets as announce,i to cake place this evening.
