BOROUGH

OF SOUTEIWARK.
Considerable excitement prevails in this extensive
borough, relative to its present representation in Par-
liament, and in consequence of the singular apathy to
the wishes of the constituents recently evinced, not
only by Sir William Molesworth, but by Mr. Alder-
man Humpherys. Local meetings are already being
held in the several parishes of St. George's, South-
wark, St. Saviours",and St. Mary's, Bermondsey,
with a view to call one great meeting at the Town-
hall, to fix upon a choice of names for the future
election of Members. At one of these preliminary
meetings, held in St. George's, an iufluential elector
observed, " that if anything above another had been
required to, increase the smouldering fires of discon-
tent throughout this truly unrepresented borough,
it was the apathetic bearing of one of
their Members, Alderman Humpherys, on the
occasion of the late meeting at the Town-hall, at
which the deputy high bailiff presided, on the re-
quisition of nearly four thousand electors, regarding
the question of offering, in common with every other
division of the metropolis, a right English welcome to
the noble Hungarian patriot—Kossuth. Although
within three hundred yards of the Town-hall, Mr.
Humpherys had declined attending, and the construc-
tion to be put upon such a refusal was most ObViOUS:

FRANCE.

The National has the following on the candidate-
snap of the Prince de Joinville :—" It was stated
yesterday at the Bourse that the Journal des Debats
was to publish this morning a manifesto of M. de
This document was said to have been
written under the dictation of M. de Joinville, in
presence of five or six friends of the Orleans family,
who went to London to demonstrate the necessity
of taking a very decided attitude in presence of the
ha'aghty pretensions avowed by the partisans of
ariother competitor. We can affirm that a person,
%yell known on the Bourse, read passages from a
document which he affirmed that be had copied
from the original, remitted to Journal des
Debats. It was added that the Orleanists would at
the same time announce the candidateship of D.I. de
Joinville to the place of representative vacant in the
department of the Seine. Enthusiasts went further,
and asserted that the success of the candidateship
being certain, the new representative would be elected
to the presidency of the Assembly. These, however,
are but the usual ornamental commentaries. The
candidateship of a member of the family of Orleans
can only excite on the Bourse movements of joy and
hopes of success ; but what has appeared serious to us
a midst the commentaries of the violent men of the
i
Parquet and the Coulisse, s the announcement of a
manifesto. We nevertheloss make all reserve on this
piece of news from a suspected source, and mention
without guarant,enw it."

THE NEAPOLITAN ATROCITIES.

The Independance of Brussels publishes the follow-
ing: note addressed by Lord Palmerston to Prince
Ca.stelcicala, the Neapolitan Minister in London :
" I have had the honour to receive your letter of
the 9th, accompanied by a pamphlet intituled ' The
Neapolitan Government and Mr. Gladstone,' and
copies of which you beg ma to forward to the royal
ambassadors at the different courts of Europe. I beg
to reply that I cannot accede to your request, not
wishing to assist in dissimulating a publication which,
in my opinion, neither does honour to its author nor to
the Government which it seeks to defend, nor to the
political party of which be makes himself the cham-
pion. I feet m7self compelled to declare that the
letters of Mr. Gladstone to Lord Aberdeen present
the sad picture of a system of illegality, injus-
tice, and cruelty, such as no one could believe could
hale been practised in our day in a European coun-
try. The iaformation which I have obtained from
different sources have led me to the conclusion that
the English writer has in no way exaggerated the
evils which he depicts. On the contrary, the author
appears to have for object to call public attention to
ablates which, if they were to continue, would neces-
sarily overthrow the foundation of the Neapolitan
Goa srnment, and would open the road to those violent
explosions which, sooner or later, burst forth when
injustice is prolonged and aggravated. The Neapo-
litan Government besides deceives itself if it thinks
that a tissue of unfounded assertions and hazarded
contradictions, mingled with gross attacks on political
parties, will render it any real service, and assist in
attaining the object it pursues. In conclusion, I will
remark that, in the publications of M'Farlance are
contained direct and indirect avowals which, contrary
to his intention, confirm rather than destroy this
conviction.

(Signed)

" PALMERSTON."

SINGULAR CASE OF INFANTICIDE AT
WAKEFIELD.

At an early hour on Monday morning last, the la-
habitants of Wakefield were greatly excited by the
report that a child bed baen found, with its throat cut
from ear to ear, at the station of the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Railway Company. The rumour unfor-
tunately proved too true ; and in the course of the
day an inquest on the body was held at the Royal
Otk Inn, before Mr. Thomas Lee, coroner, when
the following particulate; transpired :
Shortly after five o'clock on Monday morn-
ing, one of the company's porters named H. Jack-
son, went to the station as usual, for the purpose of
seeing the Government train dispatched, which leaves
Wakefield at helf-past five. To ere was another rail-
way servant also on the premises, a young man be-
longeng to the telegraph-office, named Mahalane
Park, who booked four persons to go by the train,
namely, two males and two females. Imme-
diately on the departure of the train, the porter
Jackson went into the passage where the book-
ing-office is situate, for the purpose of taking out a
ladder, ietendiog to extinguish the gas lights.
Having discharged this duty, and been absent only
about five minutes, on his return he found in the
passage a common blue hat-box, corded in rather
a clumsy manner, lying on the ground. On taking
it into the telegraphic office, and thinking there was
something strange in the weight and appearance of
the box, the two servants decided upon opening it,
when., to their horror and surprise, they found it con-
tained a male child, with its throat out in a shocking
manner, and quite dead. From the medical testi-
moey of Mr. Francis Ilorsrall, surgeon, it would op-
pear that the child could only hive bQen born
a few hours before its life
was destroyed.
As
to the pare
ies implicated in th
prepetration of
this diabolical deed, a curious
chain o
f circum-
stantial evidence has already been developedt
appears that, about ten minutes after the de-
parture of the train for Manchester, a man and a
woman came to the booking-office window, and in-
qeired if the train had gone to Thornhill. On learn-
ing that it

until half past

vered, containing the murdered infant. A railway
